Monday, July 14, 2025 – A wave of sorrow swept across Moroccan social media following the tragic death of beloved influencer Salma, widely known as “Tibo’s Wife,” late Sunday night. The 30-year-old content creator died due to severe complications after undergoing gastric bypass surgery at a private clinic in Turkey.
Salma, mother to a young child and followed by over 1.5 million fans on TikTok, had opted for the surgery in hopes of a healthier life. She had spoken openly about the physical and emotional toll of living with obesity and the societal pressure and cyberbullying she endured.
What began as a hopeful step toward recovery quickly turned into a heartbreaking ordeal. Salma’s health deteriorated rapidly after the procedure, and she was admitted to a hospital in critical condition. In her final days, she shared poignant videos documenting her pain and struggle, which sparked a wave of empathy and support across social media — many of her fans continued to pray for her recovery until news of her death was confirmed.
Her passing has shocked the digital community and reignited concerns about the growing trend of undergoing high-risk cosmetic or bariatric surgeries abroad — especially in clinics that may lack proper medical oversight.
Salma had previously used her platforms to urge followers to think twice before rushing into such procedures without fully understanding the risks. Her untimely death has prompted renewed calls for accountability and ethics among influencers, particularly regarding health-related endorsements.
Many activists are now calling on digital content creators to act responsibly when sharing personal medical journeys, warning that young or emotionally vulnerable followers might be unduly influenced.
Salma’s legacy as a loving mother, a brave woman battling societal judgment, and a voice for self-awareness will live on.
May she rest in peace.
