Subsequently, Reynolds deleted the controversial video in response to the criticism. According to the reports, the footage documented Reynolds joining two hunters and a friend, utilizing two dogs to successfully hunt a wild boar within 40 minutes.
The video depicted the boar being subdued by the dogs, leading Reynolds to approach and fatally stab the animal. The video portrayed the boar’s tusks being injured as it struggled on the ground.
Allegedly responding to a hunter’s claim that the boar posed a threat to his dog, Reynolds swiftly killed the animal with a spear, causing it to scream in pain.
A hunter then reportedly cut the boar’s throat, prompting Natalie to express discomfort as the animal struggled and ultimately died.

Despite asserting in the video that the hunting was not for sport, social media users expressed their reactions, leading Reynolds to delete the content. In response to criticisms, she engaged with some users, defending her actions by stating that meat solely comes from hunting.
In a reply to social media influencer FearBuck, she mentioned consuming the boar for dinner. This hunting video stirred widespread criticism of Natalie Reynolds, adding to her previous controversies.
In December 2023, she faced backlash for posting a video on Instagram wearing “painted pants” in a gym. Responding to negative comments, she explained that the painting process took five to six hours, emphasizing the painted design covering the lower part of her attire.
More recently, Reynolds acknowledged her actions through a post on X, expressing a lack of expectation for forgiveness and a commitment to issuing an apology.
