Actress Izabelle Leite has delivered a blunt response to a viral post comparing her to other women linked to Virat Kohli. After Kohli allegedly liked a post by German vlogger LizLaz, fans created a collage featuring his past and present associations. Leite criticized the obsession with her 12-year-old relationship with the cricketer.
Brazilian model-actress Izabelle Leite has expressed her frustration after being dragged into a viral social media debate regarding Virat Kohli's personal life. The controversy was sparked by a recent "like" from the cricketer’s account on a German influencer’s post, which prompted netizens to create collages of women linked to the athlete over the years.

Izabelle Leite Reacts to ‘Taste in Women’ Post:
Izabelle Leite Slams Viral Kohli Comparison Post
The online chatter intensified after an Instagram page shared a collage featuring Leite, Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma, Indian actress Avneet Kaur, and German influencer LizLaz. The post praised Kohli for his alleged "elite taste" in women, linking the four based on past relationships or social media interactions. Leite, who reportedly dated Kohli over a decade ago, was not pleased with the comparison. Commenting directly on the post, she wrote, "It’s been 12 years, and counting. Why can’t people get over it." Her response quickly gained traction, with many users supporting her stance that her past with the cricketer should no longer be a subject of public discussion.
Viral Kohli Like Sparks Viral Meme Storm
The latest wave of interest began when eagle-eyed fans noticed that Kohli's account had "liked" a post by German vlogger LizLaz. While the interaction was brief, it triggered a massive meme storm and speculation, similar to an incident last year where a like on Avneet Kaur's profile was attributed by Kohli to an alleged "algorithm error." Speaking to Hindustan Times, LizLaz expressed surprise at the scale of the reaction. "I felt a bit sorry for him actually. I was so happy that he liked it, but then him unliking it-I felt a bit bad for him because I don't even know how it became such a big story," she stated. She added that she only learned of the interaction after seeing herself in the news. Virat Kohli Papped at Mumbai Airport Hours After Back-to-back Match-winning Knocks at Vijay Hazare Trophy.
