In recent days, influencer Julia Slonska has been blasted for a 6-second video in which she knocks the nose off an angel statue in Warsaw’s Swiss Valley Park, Metro reports.

In the clip, the woman makes eye contact with the camera and knocks the nose off the statue with a few swift strokes of a hammer. Cackling laughter can be heard in the background, and the clip ends; the footage has since been viewed more than 5,000 times on YouTube.

According to Metro, Slonska and her pal pulled off the stunt in search of social media fame. Slonska currently has more than 6,000 followers on Instagram.
Twitter users didn’t find the so-called prank quite so funny, however, with some declaring her actions as “dumb and brainless” while others echoed that she should be jailed for the crime.

After the backlash, the model has been reportedly dropped from an advertising partnership with Polish online bank mBank.
“We definitely do not support such behavior, and the appropriate services should deal with it. As for the responsibility for what the actress does many weeks after the completed photos are taken — we cannot be responsible for the individual choices of such people,” reps for the company said, as per Metro. “We do not plan to involve this girl in the next spots.”
