A man who became well-known for filming himself licking a toilet has publicly stated that he will not be speaking with his family since "they don't have followers." Larz, a social media celebrity from Generation Z with over 300,000 Instagram followers, came under fire online when a portion of his interview with Dr. Phil was reposted on the platform X.

In just one day, the video tweeted by @PicturesFoIder amassed over 8.7 million views which made it a viral video. Needless to say, many users were perplexed by Larz's comments.

"I mean, I don't talk to my family; they're irrelevant," Larz said as he sat on Dr. Phil's couch. Soon after, X users began to respond and their responses ranged from bewilderment over his fame to "If he's so famous, why don't I know who he is?"

There was also criticisms about his mindset, such as "the real pandemic is narcissism." With a dose of humor, a different user said, "As a species, we had a good run."

But what truly infuriated the audience was his disparaging remark about his family, which he dismissed as unimportant. "Everyone's upset about it, maybe because you guys aren't relevant either, so you don't understand," Larz said, stoking the flames much more.

Here's Larz, a Gen Z social media influencer with over 300,000 followers on Instagram

Dr. Phil said, "You know what I found? The bigger the star the smaller the ego." When host Jackie 'O' Henderson asked Larz if he still talks to his family in 2022 during an interview on the Australian radio program, the Kyle and Jackie O Show, he responded:

"Of course not. I stopped talking to them so long ago, it’s actually embarrassing that people would think I still talk to them."

When questioned about his present communication circle, he said:

"I talk to Cardi B over Instagram DM. We met on Twitter in 2015 and ever since have talked fluently. I'm just more famous than everyone and I won't talk to people who aren't unless they get the same amount of followers as me."

"They're irrelevant, none of them have followers"

Larz added that he has four sisters and five brothers in his vast family, all of whom he has blocked on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. He made it clear that he wouldn't communicate with them until they had as many followers as he did.

In response to Dr. Phil's repeated insistence that he doesn't speak to his family, he provided the following explanation:

"They're irrelevant, none of them have followers. If they have followers or got rich I'd probably talk to them again. "

They would be here right now if they had followers," Larz went on.

Larz doesn't appear to be using social media much these days, despite having a sizable internet fan base. His TikTok account has been deleted, and his most recent Instagram post was made back in 2018.
