Teen Mom fans slammed star Cory Wharton as "gross" for posing at Kobe Bryant’s crash site and sharing the images on social media.
The 30-year-old was accused of visiting the heartbreaking memorial site just to earn himself some "likes/views".
LA Lakers legend Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna, 13, and seven others were tragically killed in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020.
They had been traveling to Kobe's Mamba Academy for a practice session when the helicopter came down in foggy conditions.
Now, the reality star has shared photos and videos of his "nice morning hike" at the crash site - leaving fans furious
Cory, along with his girlfriend Taylor Selfridge and their 1-year-old daughter, Mila, posed in the same exact field Bryant's helicopter crashed last year.
In honor of the late basketball star, Cory donned a number eight Lakers jersey as he carried his daughter strapped to his chest up the mountain toward the location of the crash.
After making their way there, they learned there was a whole memorial set up with hats, flowers, and other mementos from fans to show their love for the deceased.
Cory quickly noted that he "should've brought flowers".
His Instagram posts quickly began to trend on Reddit, with many social media users slamming the reality star for his actions.
"This is f**king gross," one upset fan wrote on Reddit, before another added: "Very odd, and to document on IG is even stranger."
A third added: "Issa no for me. Cory’s a weird one."
Others called it "sad" that he would post these pictures on social media for "likes and views" and called his expedition "morbid" and a "bit strange."
Cory also share a video from the crash site where he talked about the event and those involved, captioning it: "Disclaimer: If I say anything that is incorrect sry, heart goes out to all the family affected."
Later, he shared smiling photos of himself and his daughter posing at the site, in front of the memorial.
"Today we got a chance to go on a hike and visit Kobe crash site," he wrote alongside the images. "You know we had to pay our homage though to the Black Mamba."
Fans blasted the reality star for the photos, calling it "poor taste" and "completely wrong" to pose for such happy shots at a somber location.
After seeing the criticism his post sparked, Cory took to Twitter to issue a response.
"Y'all really are sensitive uh??? If I breathe wrong y’all let me know like dammmm let me be me s**ttttt."
