Content Creator Accuses Singer of Financial Flip-Flop and “Secondary Shame”
A Hungarian content creator ignited a public debate after publicly questioning the recent spending habits of singer Gabi Tóth, contrasting them with reports from less than a year ago detailing her financial struggles.
Zsolt Osváth,recently returned from a vacation in Sri Lanka,addressed the controversy on his YouTube channel,referencing TóthS performance of “Eye of the Tiger” at a Fidesz congress on January 10th. The performance drew criticism for both its execution and Tóth’s English pronunciation, prompting a response from the singer who showcased her music awards as evidence of her career success.
Osváth’s critique, however, centered not on artistic merit, but on a perceived inconsistency in Tóth’s financial narrative.He suggested Tóth felt compelled to defend her pronunciation after “legitimate criticism,” choosing to display her “VIVA Comet balls” – awards obtainable through a loyalty program – as justification. “I’m not sure that Kristóf Steiner doesn’t have a VIVA Comet ball,” Osváth remarked, adding, “let’s say, there’s no doubt that both of them handle the microphone very well… but Kristóf is at least a good person.”
The content creator’s commentary took a sharply personal turn, describing a feeling of “secondary shame” evoked by Tóth’s actions. “You see, Gabi, b*, you still make my stomach clench, but not like when butterflies are flying,” he stated. “Much more like when you tear the tile off the wall at dawn after three virgin tea capsules, you wash it. There is there’s no doubt whatsoever that what we have between us, this twin flame thing, is the real thing,” he continued, despite admitting he doesn’t like Tóth as a person.
Osváth further claimed Tóth appeared to have forgotten a previous statement made almost a year prior, highlighting a recent video showcasing an expensive face cream. This contrasted sharply with reports from March of the previous year, which indicated Tóth was living “day by day” and occasionally relying on family for grocery money. “We know that gabi was still living day by day last March. He bought from coupons to be exact, he was financially very broke,” Osváth asserted.
He continued, alleging Tóth had recently purchased a skincare product costing between 40,000 and 50,000 Hungarian Forint (approximately $110-$137 USD). Osváth pointedly noted this amount represented “someone’s weekly salary,” despite Tóth’s previous claims of relying on coupons. Osváth acknowledged his own occasional indulgences, but emphasized the disparity in Tóth’s spending. “Irén Varga dialect of the English language at the Fidesz event, he smeared his little cheeks with 40-50 thousand HUF cream. So that for almost a year we heard that he lives on coupons every day.”
The exchange underscores the intense scrutiny faced by public figures and the potential for controversy when perceived discrepancies arise between public image and personal circumstances.
Why did this happen? The controversy began after Gabi Tóth performed at a Fidesz event, receiving criticism for her english pronunciation. She responded by showcasing her music awards.Zsolt Osváth then criticized Tóth, not for her performance, but for what he perceived as a contradiction between her current spending and past statements about financial hardship.
Who was involved? The key figures are Gabi Tóth, a Hungarian singer, and Zsolt Osváth, a Hungarian content creator. Kristóf Steiner, another singer, was briefly mentioned in Osváth’s commentary.
