Yahoo Lifestyle The Internet’s Reaction To Luigi Mangione’s Alleged Sex Tapes Was Probably Not What The Daily Mail Expected
Now, in case you've never heard of them, the Daily Mail is a tabloid newspaper based in the UK that primarily focuses on pushing right-wing/conservative politics, having its heads up the Royals' asses, and absolutely losing its shit anytime Meghan Markle breathes.
The Daily Mail, much like other right-wing media outlets, has unsurprisingly framed the Luigi Mangione case through a heavily biased lens. While no one is defending Luigi's actions, his alleged killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan has sparked a rare moment of unity across the political spectrum. Both the left and the right have found common ground in their deep-seated issues within the healthcare industry.
On Monday, the Daily Mail US tweeted out a story alleging that Luigi had filmed 20 sex tapes. They sourced RadorOnline, a tabloid outlet that says an alleged unnamed friend provided them with that information.
The inaccuracy of the tweet was even fact-checked by X:
Now, the Daily Mail really thought they were doing something here in trying to sex shame him. However, this is 2025, and this isn't a taboo in an era of smartphones. A lot of adults have filmed themselves or photographed themselves doing sexual things. Needless to say, the internet had the opposite reaction to what the Daily Mail intended. I rounded up some Twitter (X) reactions to the very alleged rumors that Luigi has sex tapes:
