Backlash Drives Beatriz Taufenbach to Deactivate Instagram Account

Brazilian actor-model Beatriz Taufenbach has deactivated her Instagram after a sudden wave of online backlash linked to the teaser of Yashโ€™s upcoming film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups. The teaser, released on January 8, 2026, sparked heated reactions around a brief intimate car scene set near a cemetery, and her name quickly began trending in Indiaโ€™s film chatter.

What Really Happened?

Soon after the teaser went viral, Taufenbachโ€™s profile became inaccessible, with viewers reporting the โ€œprofile isnโ€™t availableโ€ message. Director Geetu Mohandas also addressed confusion around the actorโ€™s identity by sharing her photo online and calling her the โ€œcemetery girl.โ€

Complaints, CBFC Pressure, and the Social Media Pile-On

Political and social groups escalated the matter beyond comments and trolling. Reports say the womenโ€™s wing of the AAP filed a complaint with the Karnataka State Commission for Women, which then wrote to the CBFC seeking action. A separate complaint was also sent to the CBFC by a social activist. Coverage and updates also appeared via verified news handles, including this post.
