Despite the touching nature of the clip, it drew a wave of insensitive remarks from some social media users. While a few mocked Zic’s appearance by saying he inherited his nose from his mother, others cruelly labeled the elderly woman “ugly.”
Addressing the backlash, Zic described the critics as products of a “finished generation.” He explained that although he’s grown thick-skinned to online negativity, it pained him to see his cancer-stricken mother subjected to such unkindness.
