A New York woman said she was flooded with threats and abuse after a video she posted about her single, childless Saturday morning sleeping in until 10 a.m., binging Netflix and making shakshuka became a viral lightning rod on right-wing Twitter.

Julia Mazur on Monday called out conservative influencer Matt Walsh, who shared Mazur's original TikTok video on X, formerly Twitter.

"The way that his followers bullied me in the comments, reached out to me on social media, threatened me, was honestly abhorrent," she said. "Some of his followers said that I was going to die alone, I should actually die and never leave my house, I should be sexually assaulted, I’m pathetic, I’m a whore, and that I was dead behind my eyes.

"Honestly that one kind of made me laugh cause I use Kosas concealer and I thought it was working."

She added: "These people were really, really riled up about my choices on a Saturday."

Mazur's original video racked up more than 27 million views on X/Twitter after Walsh shared it and said: "Her life doesn’t revolve around her family and kids so instead it revolves around TV shows and pop stars. Worst of all she’s too stupid to realize how depressing this is."

Numerous right-wing figures weighed in to claim that the video showed Mazur's days were empty and meaningless.

Others, including Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, came to Mazur's defense, and said her life choices are her own.

Walsh posted in response to Mazur's followup video, "The woman that I “bullied” posts constantly to TikTok about how she’s “29 and single” and living an easy life because she doesn’t have kids. She wants people to notice these facts about her which is why she announces them to the world daily. So I noticed. And I gave my take. That’s how the internet works. She’s not a victim."

Speaking to why she makes content, Mazur said: "I am creating content for  people who are taking their time creating the lives they want for themselves because its the life that they want not something that society has deemed correct."

She added: "Life's too short to be living life figuring out what Matt Walsh wants us to do."

Mazur ended the video noting that the shakshuka she made was in fact "delicious."
