Controversy tends to follow Australian tennis sensation Nick Kyrgios wherever he goes and whatever he does. The World No. 27 has earned a fiery reputation for his on-court antics, and he is not afraid of voicing his opinions outside the court as well. Recently, a fan asked Kyrgios if he would consider going on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ during an Instagram session. Kyrgios had a few harsh words for the show and also criticized participating celebrities.

Ryan Gallagher, the famous Australian television personality, has come out all guns blazing against Kyrgios in a stinging Instagram post. Gallagher, who is a participant in the ongoing season of the survival reality show, didn’t mince his words when he voiced his opinion on Kyrgios’ criticism.

Gallagher seeks respect in Australia instead of global criticism like Nick Kyrgios

In Australia, Gallagher has amassed quite a fan following, whereas Nick Kyrgios is undoubtedly more popular among the two on the global stage. However, Gallagher believes that Kyrgios’ temperamental on-court personality and off-court controversies have earned him more critics than supporters.

The Instagram story shared by Gallagher featured an image of Kyrgios. It also included the offensive things Kyrgios said regarding the reality show. In a brutal one-liner, Gallagher expressed his fury at Kyrgios, saying, “Rather be just known in Australia than known worldwide as a f**kwit.”

However, Gallagher’s rant didn’t end there. He also drew an arrow pointing toward Kyrgios in the picture and wrote ‘k**b’. It’s safe to say that Gallagher left no stone unturned in his attempts to troll Kyrgios for his comments.

What did Kyrgios say in the first place?

Gallagher’s words were certainly harsh, but were they justified? And what prompted the television personality to lash out at Kyrgios? Well, as it turns out, Kyrgios wasn’t very kind in his opinion of the reality show on Instagram.

When a fan popped the question, Kyrgios said, “No. People who go on that show tend not to be celebrities”. He didn’t stop there, and added that for the cast, the show is “an excuse to get money”. It’s no wonder Gallagher felt incensed at Kyrgios’ comments and had his say on the issue.
