Oscar De La Hoya and Holly Sonders, previously under scrutiny for a daring video, have shifted the narrative towards promoting health awareness. Following backlash over a provocative dance video, the couple is now using their platform to spread a crucial health message.
In a subsequent video, dressed similarly in bold attire, De La Hoya and Sonders unveil the deeper intention behind their provocative dance:
Oscar de la Hoya and Holly Sonders’ health initiative
The initial video, initially pulled from Instagram due to controversy, has been repurposed into a public service announcement aimed at dismantling stigmas surrounding health discussions and encouraging open dialogue. Through a spirited yet earnest approach, De La Hoya and Sonders are leveraging their popularity for a cause greater than themselves: saving lives.
Shedding light on the significance of prostate exams and mammograms, Sonders remarked, “Many viewed us as unconventional, but our goal was to spotlight cancer awareness,” echoed by Oscar’s plea, “Let’s eradicate cancer!”
Generously donating $50,000 to Adventist White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, to facilitate essential screenings for underserved individuals, the couple’s contribution coincides with Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, showcasing De La Hoya’s personal dedication to combating cancer, a cause close to his heart following his mother’s battle in the 1990s.
Through this act, De La Hoya and Sonders aspire to reach a wide audience, emphasizing the criticality of early detection for survival. Their objective extends beyond mere entertainment to safeguarding their loved ones.
While their initial dance video may have seemed like a fleeting moment of enjoyment and self-expression, their subsequent actions have surprised supporters and critics alike.
