After his arrest, most keto influencers, especially the ones who appeared on his podcast, remained silent about Moore. An exception was the keto YouTuber Logan Delgado, who made a video about Moore denouncing him as a predator. Delgado claimed there had been many complaints within the keto community about Moore sending inappropriate sexual messages.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5LOr9ndf7c My Personal Experience With JIMMY MOORE] by Goody Beats (Jun 5, 2022) ''YouTube''.</ref>
