Hera Sfikas faces backlash after being seen with ex-boyfriend Ghastly despite past abuse allegations

Hera Sfikas, Sunflowerraver, has faced backlash for supporting ex-boyfriend Ghastly despite past abuse allegations

Hera Sfikas, a well-known EDM influencer, has sparked controversy. During Electric Daisy Carnival, she posted a supportive Instagram story with her ex-boyfriend, Ghastly. The post has led to backlash on social media due to previous abuse allegations against the producer. These allegations remain unconfirmed. But, they certainly cast a shadow over the former couple’s relationship, which ended about a year ago.

The controversy started when Hera, also known as sunflowerraver on social media, shared a story of herself and Ghastly. The Instagram story displayed the past couple together. Hera showed her support for Ghastly’s set that night at EDC as Ghangar. Fans and followers quickly took to social media to express their shock and disappointment. Many questioned why the influencer associates herself with Ghastly following her allegations of abuse.

Following their break up, she opened up about her mental illness. She openly talked about her struggles with her weight and how the relationship she was in caused her rapid weight loss. Although never confirmed to be Ghastly, many of the influencer’s social media posts on Twitter have alluded to being about him. In one post she writes “I’d get called a s*** for taking on brand deals because they were rave wear, for being hired to work events. My mind was so twisted by this person that I would promote them consistently to make up for literally doing my job, and hide how they treated me.” 

Many supporters of sunflowerraver, Hera Sfikas, dislike her recent activity. However, the influencer responded to the backlash on Twitter, explaining her reasons for supporting her ex. In one tweet, she states, “Forgiveness is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful things in life. Hence why we are here.” This response received mixed reactions, with some fans appreciating her attempt to address the issue, while others felt it was a deflection from the seriousness of the allegations.

Certainly, this situation highlights the complexities and challenges of public relationships, particularly in the high-profile realm of EDM. Fans of both hope for the best for these two in the future.
