Surf fans rush to megastar Jason Momoa’s defense after influencer accuses him of wanton yelling

“Shawty said he yelled at people for not doing their job right…Not taking another word she says seriously..."

Now, there are few surfers who have ever even come near the star power of Jason Momoa. The 45-year-old, born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a photographer mother and painter father, Momoa was whisked to Iowa after his parents divorced, but zipped right back to The Gathering Place, upon high school graduation, to attend the University of Hawaii and become a Rainbow Warrior.

Catching the acting bug whilst working in Honolulu, Momoa tried out for various Baywatch-esque roles, got them, and worked his way up to being Khal Drogo in the much-loved series Game of Thrones. From there, it was to the moon. Marrying Lisa Bonet, divorcing her, getting on with Adria Arjona, and starring in more movies that you or I could shake a bar of wax at.

Officially the most famous surf-adjacent megastar on the planet plus also Aquaman.

You can understand, then, why surfers near and far rushed to the muscleman’s defense when he was accused of wanton yelling on the set of the Minecraft movie. Page Six is reporting that “social media personality” Valkyrae has come out and listed her “worst celebrity” as Jason Momoa on a cut-rate rip off of the popular show Hot Ones.

“I would have to say Jason Momoa,” the YouTuber declared before adding context. “It was pretty disappointing. It was a very emotional scene so maybe he was still in character. He was just really mad at them (the crew) that they weren’t doing something right, like setting up the shot and stuff, and he was just angry. And so I was like, man, this is like, not a good work environment and like I would not be happy working under these conditions.”

While Momoa’s team has maintained its silence, thus far, surf fans are making their displeasure known.

“I’m not taking a word she says serious. talk about an uncreditable source,” one wrote on X.

“All I know is, if she’s not being truthful, it will be discovered quickly,” another added.

“Shawty said he yelled at people for not doing their job right…Not taking another word she says seriously,” a third surf fan chimed in.

Momoa’s reputation, then, safe for now but how much longer?
