Reality TV star dragged for rehoming dog after becoming too busy being an influencer
'I never imagined I'd have to make a post like this'
Made in Chelsea star Miles Nazaire has come under fire for admitting they had to rehome their dog, Rocky, after becoming too busy as an influencer to give him the proper care he needs.
He announced the sad news in an Instagram video, explaining in the caption: “I never imagined having to write a post like this, but I’m aware there’s been a lot of speculation about what happened with Rocky.
“Some parts of my life are deeply personal, and I’ve chosen not to share everything publicly not out of secrecy, but out of care.
“I waited to speak on this because I needed to make sure Rocky was safe, happy, and rehomed with the perfect family. That has now happened, and he’s exactly where he needs to be.
“I kindly ask that any further assumptions, judgment, or unkindness about my decision be put to rest. This was one of the most difficult choices I’ve ever had to make, and I made it with love.
“To those who’ve shown compassion, understanding, and support, thank you. It’s meant more than you know.
The Made in Chelsea star also went into further detail about why he had to rehome Rocky, saying in the video: “Things weren’t really going my way, I was really stressed at work and I was trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing with my life.
“With TV and content creation your life is up and down most days and Rocky definitely felt that. He could see that on my down days it was not great.
“Although he picked me up and made me feel amazing I don’t know if I could handle it anymore and it just wasn’t fair on him.”
He continued: “I was always traveling, he always had to go to daycare, he always had to go to a dog hotel and I’d go away for a few weeks, come back and he’d meet new people and I just wanted him to have the best life.”
“So when I was in Portugal I broke down because I had this realization that oh yeah I can’t have him anymore, he needs the best life possible.”
However, some people weren’t too happy with his choice to rehome his dog, with one commenting: “Look, he was clearly well looked after and loved but I honestly don’t get how pets are so disposable. Glad you’ve found him a great loving home.”
Another added: “I’ve moved countries and continents three times and brought all my animals with me. Even though it was hard, expensive, or not convenience.”
