MAFS star Daniel Holmes was temporarily banned from Instagram after making a string of fatphobic comments.
The 30-year-old has his account temporarily disabled for “sexual and nudity content”.
Daniel when and why he was banned from the platform in a now grid deleted post.
“Santa I didn’t want a disabled account for Christmas but ya gave me one ya bugga [sic]!”
He added, “My main account was disabled for sexual and nudity content apparently. For anyone that follows me knows I never post sexual content. I’m in the process of getting my account but they don’t make it easy.
“With that said anyone that’s had any experience in this field or advice please get in touch with me (DM me). Hope everyone’s had a great festive season.”
Daniel’s account was back up and running today, and he shared a screenshot claiming that his account was “disabled by mistake.”

However, a source told So Dramatic! that they believe the temporary ban on Daniel’s account was connected to fatphobic, and bullying comments he’s recently posted.
“Imagine going on MAFS for [Instagram] followers and losing your account even before the next season starts,” they said.
They continued: “Maybe it is for advertising his OnlyFans as it’s against Instagram guidelines. But I am leaning more towards his bullying, awful recent comments siding with Kanye [West], [Donald] Trump and [Andrew] Tate, among other awful comments he’s made.”
Back in October, Daniel publicly supported Kanye West after he received backlash over his anti-Semitic comments.
Daniel posted a now-deleted text slide to his Instagram story that reads, “Team Kanye, Team Tate, Team trump, Team stevewilldoit, TEAM FREE SPEECH.”
He then posted a second slide reading: “There’s a shift coming. Censorship and cancel culture is being overthrown.”
The MAFS participant appears to be referring to the backlash that Kanye West has received over his anti-Semitic comments.
On October 7th the rapper shared a screenshot of a conversation between himself and P Diddy on Instagram. “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me. I told you this was war,” he wrote.
Shortly after, the rapper was banned from Instagram. He then took to Twitter to make more anti-Semitic comments in a now-deleted tweet. Kanye wrote: “When I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
It’s inferred that West was referencing DEFCON 3, which is an alert used in the US military that means “increase in force readiness above normal readiness” and is regularly used to signal a serious threat.
