Social media personality Jameliz Smth, who made headlines for destroying millions of dollars in luxury cars, is shifting gears.
The content creator announced she is giving away nine Tesla vehicles to her followers over the next nine months, a move she says is aimed at “giving back.”
Smth, who has more than 10 million followers and rose to fame through her controversial “Luxury Car Destruction” videos, said the giveaways are a response to critics who questioned her use of influence. Her content, which includes smashing high-end vehicles like Lamborghinis and Ferraris with sledgehammers, explosives, and power tools, has drawn both fascination and backlash, racking up more than 50 million views across platforms.
“People kept saying I was wasting money that could change lives,” Smth said in a statement. “So I decided to listen. The comments asking me for cars were overwhelming, and I thought—why not? Instead of destroying a dream car next month, I’ll be giving nine away instead.”
Each Tesla Model 3, valued at approximately $44,000, will be awarded monthly through the end of the year.
Smth’s team said winners will be selected through a transparent and legally compliant process, with entries open to her follower base. The giveaway cars are wrapped in satin matte black and branded with Smith’s name.
“This is not a PR stunt,” Smth added. “This is me with my own money, giving back to my fans.”
Reactions to the announcement were swift online.
“How rich is this lady?” one user commented.
Another wrote: “I’m struggling to pay bills while watching someone destroy what most people only dream of owning.”
A third penned: “She really do be the female Santa Claus”
While Smth has often faced criticism for her over-the-top content, she defended the underlying message: “Everyone’s outraged when I break things, but nobody’s asking how
these cars came into my possession or what message I’m trying to send about materialism,” she said. “Now they’ll see another side of the experiment.”
