Days later, Doja Cat posted on social media, emphasizing that smiling did not mean she consented to being touched or 'manhandled,' and stating she threw away the gifted shirt. Her since-deleted posts sparked mixed reactions, with some defending her boundaries and others questioning her public response. Tamayo apologized publicly, explaining he was unaware of her discomfort and meant no harm. The incident has renewed debates about celebrity boundaries and accountability on social media. This adds to Doja Cat's ongoing history of contentious interactions with fans and the media.
