'AGT' makers blasted over 'not family safe' act from Bomba Circus aired on national TV: 'Full grown men playing with adult nudity'
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Viewers were outraged by an 'America's Got Talent' performance. Fans slammed a performance called Bomba Circus as disrespectful, and others have now gone even further in their criticism.
'AGT' viewers were similarly dissatisfied in 2021 by Les Beaux Freres, a French-Canadian comedic pair that left nothing to the imagination when they stood on stage. They were completely clothed when they entered the stage, but as they exited, they were naked, with just towels covering their genitalia. The judges laughed when Les Beaux Freres danced and did feats with the towels. To close the show, one of the men took his friend's towel and rushed off-stage, leaving him curled up to cover his dignity when he was tossed a smaller towel and ran off-stage. Following the surprising performance two years ago, judges Sofa Vergara, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell were in stitches. However, several fans who saw the video on 'AGT's Instagram were not pleased, calling the conduct disrespectful.

Bomba Circus left little to the imagination
The official 'AGT' Instagram page released a video of a nude circus performance, and many are regretting the show they "used to love." The three performed a routine with only an orange ball and wooden sports paddles in the acting footage. The foursome juggled the ball with the paddles, demonstrating great synchronization as their props flew between them.
However, social media users have lambasted the show for letting the act on TV and have intimated that they will no longer watch. Many people on Instagram couldn't help but comment on the fact that there were most certainly children in the crowd, given that it's a family-friendly event. Fans thought it was a bad idea to spotlight the trio, given the nature of the act.
'The show has gone downhill since the beginning'
One fan commented under the clip, "Not family safe." Another person raged, "This is just inappropriate." One person further added, "This should not be allowed on tv , everything is so disgusting these days no one has any self respect!" A fourth user wrote, "Once again. Another act that shows full grown men playing with adult nudity on a show THAT CHILDREN WATCH. I used to love AGT but now it seems like they just let any act on." One user complained, "Can't believe this shit was voted through. The show has gone downhill since the beginning." Another person chimed in, "This is what is wrong with our society. Tv has become so disgusting! This is not talent and you have children in the audience! Dumb that it went through." Others added, "Really??? How is this talent? Shame, shame, shame!" Another wrote, "It’s not even talent."
