Controversies
• Criticized For Joking About Raping: In 2011, Momoa attracted criticism for saying that he loved working on Game of Thrones because he “got to rape beautiful women” during a Comic-Con panel interaction. The clip resurfaced in 2017 amid the #Metoo movement. Thereafter, he made a public apology on Instagram.
• Criticized by Animal Rights Group PETA: In 2019, a video went viral on the internet in which a bear eats a biscuit from Momoa’s mouth. The incident took place when he was shooting for a show titled See on Apple TV+. The video angered the animal rights group PETA, who highlighted that baby bears are separated from their mothers to use them in the entertainment industry.
• Angered Marvel Fans: In 2015, a DC fan approached Mamoa for an autograph on the Aquaman poster at Indiana Comic-Con. The fan asked Mamoa “Can you write down a reason why all these DC haters out there should join our DC universe?” Mamoa answered by signing the picture with the words “F*ck Marvel.” 
• Criticized for Posting Photos at Sistine Chapel: In 2022, Mamoa received criticism on social media after he posted photos and footage of himself visiting the chapel in Vatican City. Netizens commented that visitors are typically prohibited from photographing the space, which is sacred to Catholic faith. After that, Mamoa shared a video apologizing for the same.
