Funny how quickly posting rude comments will take you from champ to chump! Younes Bendjima has raised some red flags with fans recently after shading Kourtney Kardashian in her Instagram comments, but now he’s clapping back and insisting he’s not “controlling” or “whiney” like fans think.

Most recently, Kourtney posted a photo in bed to advertise a weighted blanket, and Younes responded “hmmm well… ok for this one.” Fans took this as him giving her approval after his other shady comments, and even Kourt’s bestie Simon Huck seemed a little offended when he responded with an eye-roll emoji.

Younes insisted he was joking, by responding to Simon writing, “let me just play around fam!” with a laughing emoji. He was also spotted liking a fan comment that said “real couples mess with each other,” and that “people are too sensitive.”

However, it didn’t seem like a joke when Kourt posted a hot photo on July 16, and Younes responded, “That’s what you need to show to get likes?” Rather than admit it was a joke when fans freaked out, he simply deleted the whole comment.

Perhaps Younes was just kidding, but fans didn’t take kindly to the comment. “Leave your controlling boyfriend,” said one fan with a heart emoji. “What’s that noise? Just a whiny @younesbendjima,” agreed another.

Just weeks earlier, fans were loving Kourt and Younes together, calling them “mom and dad” in pics and speculating (and hoping) that the much-younger model was getting close to popping the question.

Younes’ now-deleted comment.

Plenty of other celebs were loving the pic, even if Younes wasn’t. Her sister Kendall Jenner wrote, “yes tooshie!” Bella Hadid chimed in, “wow. yup.” Diplo called it “a poem,” and Blink 182’s Travis Barker, who lives next to Kourt and reportedly has a crush on her, simply put, “?.” Well, if things don’t work out with Younes, it seems like Kourt has plenty of good other options!
