Britney Spears sparks concern after dancing with knives in viral video Instagram: britneyspearsBritney Spears has sparked concern among her fans after uploading a video of herself erratically dancing with two knives. Pop icon Britney Spears has remained a famous figure ever since her career began back in 1998 when she released ‘Baby One More Time.’ Though her work was put on hold in February of 2008 when her mental health put her in a conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, she’s been able to make a comeback via social media, where she frequently shares videos of herself dancing. However, after Spears recently uploaded a clip of herself erratically dancing with two knives, fans have expressed their concern for the pop star. Britney Spears urged fans to “lighten up” about dancing with knives In Spears’ most recent Instagram video, she can be seen flailing around two knives while spinning in circles. Though she claimed the knives were fake, as she said she was getting ready for Halloween, fans flooded social media with concern for her livelihood. One fan commented saying, “I’m very worried for Britney, where are the people who claim they love her?” While another poked fun at the situation, saying, “Maybe conservatorship was right for her after all.” Others continued to express their concern saying, “I feel terrible for her.” As well as, “I feel bad for her. She clearly had her childhood and upbringing ruined. Fame isn’t always the best thing for everyone. She probably would have been more normal if she wasn’t famous. Hope she figures things out and gets the help she needs.” I feel bad for her. She clearly had her childhood and upbringing ruined. Fame isn’t always the best thing for everyone. She probably would have been more normal if she wasn’t famous. Hope she figures things out and gets the help she needs. — Astros (@Astros27336268) September 26, 2023 Though fans made their thoughts about Spears dancing with two knives known, she did turn her comments section off on her Instagram where the post was first uploaded. She also urged fans to “lighten up” about the knives in a following IG post, however, comments were also turned off for that as well. Details about Britney Spears’ 13-year conservatorship In 2008, Spears’ entire life took an unexpected turn when those closest to her placed her in a conservatorship, taking control of her career, lifestyle choices, and mental health treatment. The conservatorship was enabled by a judge after Spears’ father and his colleagues alleged mental health concerns for Spears, essentially giving full control of her finances to those who were part of placing her in the conservatorship. However, in 2020, fans began rallying for Spears, starting the ‘Free Britney Movement.’ This led to one of her first public statements in court the following year where she alleged mistreatment from those involved with her mental health plan. Spears’ legal bind finally came to an end in November 2021. She then, she began taking to social media to express herself with lengthy captions under videos of herself dancing in barely-there clothing. Though some fans consistently express their concerns for Spears, the artist continues to frequently upload her dancing videos to social media, as she has been free from her 13-year conservatorship for almost two years.

Britney Spears explains why she deleted controversial Jeffree Star Instagram post – Dexerto
Britney Spears explains why she deleted controversial Jeffree Star Instagram post YouTube: Jeffree Star / Flickr: hnkkkPop icon Britney Spears has explained why she deleted an Instagram post praising Jeffree Star after fans spoke out against the makeup artist in the comments section. In mid-November, Britney Spears published an Instagram post gushing over makeup from popular YouTuber and beauty guru Jeffree Star. The makeup mogul had sent Spears a collection of his products, including his Holy Mist setting spray — which Spears praised as “the bomb!” However, shortly after being published, the post was removed, with many netizens attributing the deletion to commenters speaking out against Star in the comments. Britney Spears explains deleted Jeffree Star Instagram post It’s still unclear exactly why Spears deleted her message, but she shed a bit more light on the situation in another Instagram post nearly a month later. In her post, Spears thanked a slew of other celebrities for sending her gifts amid the dissolution of her conservatorship, including Jeffree Star. She also mentioned deleting the previous post, saying: “I took it down because I realized it was too much!!” Fans are a little confused as to the meaning of this statement, but overall appear to be happy with Stars’ return to social media. Unfortunately, Spears has also deleted this post, where she hit out at journalist Diane Sawyer alongside her peppy thank-you’s to fellow celebs. This follows a statement from Star regarding Spears’s initial Instagram post, where he accused fans of “bullying” the pop star into deleting her message over his own past drama. “It’s crazy that someone who has been in a mental prison for 13 years finds joy in something and y’all gotta bully her into deleting her post,” Star said. “That is so sad.” Despite the comments that her post received, it seems that Spears is still a fan of Stars’ setting spray, and continued to promote it alongside other A-List products like Lady Gaga’s Casa Gaga makeup line.

Britney Spears deletes Instagram post praising Jeffree star – Dexerto
Britney Spears deletes Instagram post praising Jeffree star YouTube: Jeffree Star / Wikimedia Commons, Flickr: JenPop icon Britney Spears has deleted an Instagram post she made praising Jeffree Star after the beauty guru sent her products from his makeup line. Britney Spears has been officially released from her conservatorship, prompting celebration from fans of the iconic pop star all around the world. Now finally in control of her personal life and financial decisions, Spears has claimed that fans petitioning for her freedom “saved her life.” Social media has exploded with happiness for the star, and several high-profile influencers have expressed their relief over the situation — including makeup mogul Jeffree Star, who claimed the conservatorship’s end was “long overdue.” Finally. So long overdue. Should have never happened… So glad she finally gets some peace!!! 💯 https://t.co/A3Ce9sIu7S — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) November 12, 2021 Britney Spears praises Jeffree Star in deleted Instagram post Seemingly in celebration of this, it appears that Star may have sent Spears a congratulatory gift from his makeup line, if the pop singer’s Instagram post was anything to go by. “Thank you for sending me the coolest makeup ever!” Spears wrote. “I won’t say it to sound self-righteous or anything, but Jeffree Star’s Holy Mist is the BOMB! … Jeffree Star, you are a genius!” It’s clear that Spears was jazzed about the makeup products she’d received from Star — but a short while later, the post was removed from her account, leaving fans and the beauty community buzzing. The deletion is speculated to have come about after fans spoke out against Star in the comments, citing his drama with other influencers and viewers in the past. It’s no secret that Star has had his fair share of controversies over the course of his career, most notably the incident involving Tati Westbrook, Shane Dawson, and James Charles, which ended up costing Charles hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers in 2019 and prompted Westbrook’s lengthy hiatus from the internet. However, this isn’t the first time that Spears and Star have been aligned as of late… the Toxic singer notably sparked speculation after apparently touring Star’s $16 million mansion after the YouTuber decided to make his home in Wyoming. Will @BritneySpears buy my LA mansion?? 😇 We shall see.. https://t.co/iDDMtwdwhy — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) October 20, 2021 For now, it looks like the relationship between Spears and Star is indeterminate as fans continue to speculate following the removal of the recent Instagram post.

Britney Spears’ 20 best songs ranked – Dexerto
Britney Spears’ 20 best songs ranked Flickr: Rhys AdamsBritney Spears sculpted pop music in immeasurable ways. Her perfectly-princess image packaged the Louisana native as the modern era’s answer to Madonna. Given her legacy, what are her best songs? The indisputable queen of pop, Britney Spears got her start when she was 17 years old, unleashing the quintessential ’90s banger “…Baby One More Time.” It set in motion one of the most impressive and vital pop careers of all time. Her influence is still being felt, particularly with such newcomers as Tate McRae. Spanning more than two decades, the singer’s career has guided much of what we’ve heard on pop radio in the last 20+ years. From her 1999 debut LP …Baby One More Time to other essentials like 2001’s Britney and In the Zone (2003), Spears moved the needle with not only delicious pop hooks but flashy live performances. She was and is electric onstage; she has that IT factor few others possess. Spears knew how to deliver those cotton candy choruses with abandon, worming their way into our collective consciences. Here are the star’s Top 20 best songs. 20. “Clumsy” Guitars rumble right out of the gate. Static pounds from the bass line, leaving Spears to tangle herself in the playful melody. From Glory, the singer has never had so much fun on record. She’s a veteran artist with nothing else to prove, and it shows. She allows the song it carry itself. Even down to the way she lilts into her head voice is unfussy. It comes so naturally to her, you don’t need much else. 19. “Till the World Ends” “Sicker than the remix,” this Femme Fatale cut pumps its “ooo”s and “ahhh”s with a high-voltage intensity. As the world seemingly crumbles down around her, Spears decides dancing will be the best and only way to ring in the apocalypse. “Get me on the floor / DJ what you waiting for?” she asks, the beat sticky and hot. It’s a perfectly rave-worthy banger. 18. “Man on the Moon” Britney Spears orbits around star-strewn production, twinkling with percussion and other instruments. Spears’ voice is appropriately light and airy, as she spirals through her emotions in her quest for love. “I can’t compete with the stars in the sky / I am invisible,” she laments. As the song fades, she leaves an imprint on the heart. 17. “Sometimes” Britney Spears steps out in faith, hoping a relationship will work out. She begs a new beau to move slowly, enough so they both can get their bearings. “Baby, all I need is time,” she sings. The production glistens, so it seems appropriate then that Spears’ vocals are equally dazzling. While there’s a rich smoothness to the song, her voice dishes up every single second of emotional currency. 16. “Overprotected” With her fame growing in intensity in the early 2000s, the then-pop princess attempts to make sense of herself, what’s right, and where she fits into the ever-elusive state of pop music. As a cherished commodity, Spears had grown used to being examined under a microscope, her every move overanalyzed. This was her statement to the public, a plea to let her live her life on her terms. 15. “Womanizer” Glittering production takes root, leaving Spears to play around inside a metallic, otherworldly soundscape. “I know what you are,” she coos. Her voice contains a gritty quality, as she sweeps from her lower register into her head voice. Along the way, she claws her way through the message about empowerment that sets toxic masculinity ablaze. That’s just her way: setting the world on fire. 14. “Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know” “I been waiting so long it hurts,” cries Spears. In her most pained vocal performance (and that’s a good thing), the singer reaches into her upper register to squeeze out every ounce of emotion from her chest. “I need to hear you say you love me all the way!” she pleads. Her relationship resides firmly in the grey area, leaving the singer heartsick and worrisome. 13. “I’m a Slave 4 U” “Dancing’s what I love,” whispers Spears. “I’m a Slave 4 U” represented an artist sculpting their identity. While ear candy remained very much in her back pocket, she experimented in a way that demonstrated she had far more to offer than meets the eye. Even more importantly, she blossomed into a strong and capable woman on the verge of sexual liberation. 12. “Gimme More” The tabloids wanted more Britney, and she gave it to ’em. With “Gimme More,” her comeback single, Spears owned up to her past, while also acknowledging the media’s role in her downfall. “It’s Britney, b*tch!” she intros. Despite a troubling performance at the 2007 VMAs, she didn’t let the music suffer. In fact, she hit her stride with Blackout, which remains her catalog-best release. “Gimme More” remains one of many crown jewels in her gilded crown. 11. “Born to Make You Happy” Spears plucks on the heartstrings with his tattered and torn ballad. Her lyrics drip from an emotional faucet, allowing her to pull in a career-best vocal performance. “I don’t know how to live without your love,” background vocals echo the forlorn sentiment in a call-and-response structure. From its windswept opening “all my love” whisper to the spine-tingling key change, it’s got all the makings of a classic. 10. “Criminal” Featuring prominent flute, “Criminal” (from 2011’s Femme Fatale) finds Spears admitting to being in love with a self-described criminal. “He’s a bad boy with a tainted heart / And even I know this ain’t smart,” she confesses. Her irrational love feeds a part of herself she just can’t deny. It’s a so-bad, it’s so-good sort of love. 9. “Slumber Party” 2016’s Glory was Spears’ return to form. High-fructose doses of pop hooks dressed up with fringe-laced production and some of the singer’s best vocals characterize much of the record. That’s most evident with “Slumber Party,” a trippy, alluring, and heat-seeking number about intimacy and hooking up. Spears’ voice seduces with its wax-melting quality, as she entices a lover over to her bedsheets. “We use our bodies to make our own videos,” she sings. 8. “Lucky” Much like “Piece of Me” (also on this list), “Lucky” peeled back the curtain on fame and its toll on its central superstar. Despite Spears playing narrator and regaling a tale about a girl named Lucky, you can’t help but consider the weight of the lyrics that are ripped from the singer’s own life. “Lost in an image, in a dream / But there’s no one there to wake her up,” she sings. The price of fame cost her everything (both the character and Spears herself), and that reality lies throbbing at the center of this essential. 7. “…Baby One More Time” You can’t have a Best Of list without Spears’ monumental debut single. With its music video set in high school, it showcased the problems of adolescence. As Spears daydreams of the school day being over, she muses on love and wonders if she’s good enough, all set to a giddy backbeat that supercharges the senses. 6. “(You Drive Me) Crazy” (The Stop! Remix) If you grew up in the ’90s, you know Britney Spears appeared on Sabrina the Teenage Witch alongside Melissa Joan Hart. “(You Drive Me) Crazy” was featured prominently in an episode, courtesy of the Stop! Remix. In the accompanying video, Hart also made an appearance, making it an official crossover endeavor. It’s guaranteed to get the body groovin’. 5. “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” As Spears explored grungier music, as she did with “I’m a Slave 4 U,” she kept the cards close to the vest with the sweeping ballad “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” from Britney. It perfectly captured her transition from childhood to adulthood, especially as someone who grew up in the spotlight. Fame put added pressure on her shoulders, and despite all the flashing lights and extravagant costumes, she was just a person trying to navigate the world underneath the cracking veneer. 4. “Oops!… I Did It Again” With her second album, Oops!… I Did it Again, Spears demonstrated she was no flash-in-the-pan. She did it again (pun intended) in delivering a body of work that cohesively summed up a particular moment in time. At the turn of the millennium, songs like the titular cut embodied what made pop music so great. Featuring a slinky melody and sensory-buzzing production, “Oops!… I Did It Again” took listeners across the universe in more ways than one. 3. “Toxic” Spears exhibited an intoxicating, slithering power with “Toxic.” From In the Zone, this grimy and altogether infectious number planted its flag firmly in our eardrums. “A guy like you should wear a warning,” she sings, barely above a whisper. Her vocals seduce and entice, luring you into a dangerous dungeon of deliciousness. 2. “Piece of Me” 2007’s Blackout remains Britney Spears’ magnum opus. With its crunchy production and the singer’s filtered, hypnotic voice, “Piece of Me” saw Spears reclaiming the narrative from paparazzi and the tabloids. “You want a piece of me!” rings the refrain. She wasn’t afraid to call out the media’s portrayal of her life. Coming after the infamous head-shaving incident, “Piece of Me” made quite the statement. 1. “Everytime” Spears could deliver a wallop of a ballad when she wanted to. With this In the Zone tearjerker, Spears let all her vulnerability and pain pour forth from her soul as though from a fountain. “Everytime I see you in my dreams, I see your face/ It’s haunting me,” she sings. Haunting strings accentuate Spears’ equally delicate vocal performance. It’s so powerful, a lesser ranking would be unacceptable.

“British Spider-Man” arrested after scaling Eiffel Tower during Olympics – Dexerto
“British Spider-Man” arrested after scaling Eiffel Tower during Olympics TikTok: dailymailThough he has over 13 years of experience as a professional climber, Louis Davis, also known as the “British Spider-Man,” was arrested after scaling the Eiffel Tower without a harness or rope. Louis Davis, AKA the “British Spider-Man,” pulled off the ultimate Tom Cruise move by scaling the Eiffel Tower before the closing ceremony at the Olympics on Sunday, August 11. Though he’s a trained stunt coordinator, professional climber, and has worked in the entertainment biz, Louis wasn’t given permission to climb on the iron girders – especially without a harness or rope. Despite his stunt being bold, Louis was arrested after he made his way down from standing atop the blue Olympic ring. “Bloody warm, isn’t it!” the stuntman said as the police escorted him away. At this time, Louis is facing a year in jail for “endangering the lives of others.” He will also have to pay a fine of over $16K. Being that the perimeter of the Eiffel Tower had to be evacuated during his climb, he might face a harsher sentence, as the area was even more crowded due to the Olympics. “He was arrested at 2.45pm and handcuffed by police. He was heading towards the second floor when he was stopped by specialist climbing police… He is cooperating with the authorities,” shared an investigative source. This isn’t his first stunt, though. The “British Spider-Man” has also climbed the “Cheesegrater” building in London. He’s even worked directly with Mission Impossible’s Tom Cruise and The Terminator’s Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stated on his official website, Louis explained what his mission was during his professional climbing journey. “I believe that fear is the primary barrier to growth. My mission is to help others overcome their fears, build resilience, and unlock their true potential,” he wrote. He also described his personal story: “Beyond the screen, I’m a rope access supervisor with over 13 years of experience in high-risk environments and now a professional climber. Known for free soloing skyscrapers.” Fortunately, Louis was able to make it down on two feet despite his arrest. French daredevil Remi Lucidi wasn’t so lucky, though. In July 2023, Remi died after he fell while climbing a 721 ft skyscraper.

British man named Harry Potter shares how “ridiculous” his life is – Dexerto
British man named Harry Potter shares how “ridiculous” his life is Warner Bros. Pictures / TikTok: wordlytrendsA British man has revealed some of the “ridiculous things” he’s experienced due to coincidentally sharing his name with the popular fictional wizard, Harry Potter. According to research by childcare.co.uk, there has been a spike in parents paying tribute to their favorite fictional characters and celebrities by naming their newborns after them. But what is life actually like for these children growing up, especially those with more recognizable names? Well, one TikToker has just spilled the beans. Going by ‘worldlytrends’ online, this British man happens to be named Harry Potter. And he has now shared four of the most “ridiculous things” he’s experienced due to the bizarre coincidence. Born six months before the first book was published, Harry decided to “rank” some of his lived experiences, with number one being his participation on a Japanese game show. “I made about a hundred quid out of this which I thought was great,” Harry said. However, he then added that another participant — also named Harry Potter — had bought a first edition of The Philosopher’s Stone, something he was later able to sell for a whopping €30,000. Luckily, number two on the list could arguably make up for the loss; Harry had the chance to meet his “uncle,” Gary Oldman, who portrays the character Sirius Black in the movies. The chance encounter took place in an airport during a school trip, with Oldman not believing the bizarre coincidence until Harry showed the actor his passport. “Coming in at number three, I managed to open a bookshop for the release of The Deathly Hallows at midnight,” Harry continued, showing a childhood photo of himself dressed as a wizard. Last of all, Harry shared that once while walking to university, a passerby whom he’d never met before said to him, “You’re a wizard, Harry.” “And I never did find out who he was,” Harry concluded.

British lad goes viral running mile every day for mental health – Dexerto
British lad goes viral running mile every day for mental health Twitter/X: thehullboy1British teenager Marcus Skeet is taking social media by storm for running a mile each day in support of mental health awareness. 16-year-old Marcus Skeet has raised over £3,036 ($3802.29) for Mind (NAMH), a nonprofit organization based in London that focuses on mental health. Skeet, known online as ‘thehullboy,’ started his campaign in April 2024, running a mile every day to “spread awareness and try [to] raise money for mental health.” As told by the description on his GoFundMe page, Skeet claims that he’s lost friends due to their struggles with mental health and has even had family members experience difficulties, as well as undergoing his own battle with depression. “It’s always been a mission of mine to spread as much awareness for mental health as possible and try [to] help others out,” he said. Over the last month, Skeet has gone viral across Twitter/X thanks to posting his daily runs on the social media platform, racking up millions of views and tens of thousands of likes per post. At the end of April, Skeet linked up with English endurance athlete ‘The Hardest Geezer’ Russ Cook, a man famous for running across the entire length of Africa to raise £1,000,000 ($1,252,400) for nonprofit orgs The Running Charity and Sandblast. However, Skeet isn’t done with his daily running — not by a long shot. On May 1, the lad made another post on X, saying he’s now going to run five kilometers (a little over three miles) every day in honor of Mental Health Awareness month. “It’s going to be a tough month physically, but the mental health battle is tougher and NEEDS to be spoken about more!” he wrote. “Remember you are loved and you’re amazing.” Skeet tracks his runs using the Goals-Fitness app, which shows off how many calories he’s burned, how many steps he’s taken during his run, and even tracks his route on Maps. That’s not all; Skeet also has plans to run a marathon in October alongside Cook in Yorkshire, using his daily goals as training for the fall race. Skeet’s progress has been capturing the attention of the internet, garnering positive responses from users online who are watching his journey every day as he undertakes his new challenge for another 31 days.

“British Chinese food” trend leaves TikTok confused by bizarre takeout orders – Dexerto
“British Chinese food” trend leaves TikTok confused by bizarre takeout orders TikTOK: Soogia, Laura Kate Griffiths, CorysworlddThe spotlight has come on the UK in recent weeks on TikTok as a new trend of Brits showing their Chinese food orders is leaving people around the world confused. Social media trends always come and go, but trends relating to food usually stay for a while. Possibly inspired by muckbangs (people eating food for videos), a trend that’s circulating TikTok is people showing their takeout deliveries. A subcategory in this new trend is Brits showing what their Chinese takeaway. With dishes such as chips (fries), salt and pepper chicken and curry sauce, it has left people across the world, but particularly those of Chinese descent, confused. One of these TikTokers is Soogia, a Chinese-American content creator who makes videos about cultural appreciation, who made a video dedicated to the different food cultures. What does a “British Chinese” usually consist of? Saying her For You page had been filled with videos of “British people eating Chinese food”, Soogia went on to explain that the videos had left her confused as she didn’t recognize any of the foods. “One interesting thing is that all their plates look almost exactly the same and is filled with things that I don’t recognize as Chinese food, with the exception of like chow main noodles.” She went on to explain: “They all have something called chicken balls. I don’t know what chicken balls are. And they all order French fries, or chips, with their food. I have never seen French fries offered at an American Chinese food restaurant, I don’t think, ever. That’s so interesting to me.” However, Soogia went on to say that the one thing that she found the most interesting was the choice of sauce. “Curry sauce. And like, lots of curry sauce, like pools and pools of curry sauce all over all of the Chinese food,” she explained She went on to say that she was in no way trying to judge or criticize Brits for their Chinese food order, but just said she was so shocked at how much it differed to an American Chinese food order. “Maybe it’s just the algorithm, but I didn’t see any dumplings, any hot pot, no mapo tofu, bao buns, no long beans. No American Chinese foods staples like broccoli beef or kung pao chicken.” She continued: “If they love it – fine! I just know that there’s such a beautiful world of Chinese food beyond to what they just have on their plates.” Brits are now defending their takeaway orders As Soogia’s video racked up 2.7 million views within just a day and had over 29.2k comments at the same time, it made people across the world discuss Brits’ culinary habits. However, one user by the name of corysworldd decided to stitch Soogia’s video to better explain what a British Chinese takeaway is. “I never thought I’d have to speak on the behalf of Britain. I literally have half a GCSE and I don’t know anything about anything really. But I am gonna answer your questions as best as I can,” Cory started the video He continued by saying that people do refer to their foods as “a Chinese” or “an Italian”, which was something that Soogia had also been confused about, he went on to explain the importance of curry sauce. “Curry sauce is the best thing ever. So it’s the texture of gravy, but it tastes like curry. They even do it in McDonalds over here,” he told the viewers. Viewers were not on board with the “British Chinese” food He also explained that he knew that the food that Brits get in Chinese eateries in the UK is not considered authentic Chinese food. “The owner of my local Chinese shop is from China, but the food they eat is completely different to the food they serve us.” He continued: “Chicken balls are available in any Chinese shop you go in. It’s basically a boneless chicken, but it’s deep-fried. All the Chinese shops I’ve been to sell ribs, and chips as well. They also do containers, it’s called a half and half, where it’s half rice and half chips with curry sauce poured over the top.” Having answered most of the questions people had from Soogia’s video, people still weren’t convinced. One person said: “Why do they drench it in curry sauce??” Another wrote: “It all looks very ‘poutine-ish’” while a third said: “Hey! Are you joking?” “I find stuff like this so interesting – I wanna know why or how they decided this was the way to do it,” a fourth user said.

Brie Larson embraces memes of her reimagined as Animal Crossing villagers Wikipedia Commons / NintendoCaptain Marvel actress Brie Larson has responded to a viral Twitter meme that sees herself compared to several cute Animal Crossing villagers, and it seems as though she’s a fan! Animal Crossing: New Horizons is almost here, and players are ridiculously excited for it. The last mainline entry in the Nintendo franchise released in 2013, so it’s been a long, almost seven-year wait for the next instalment. One fan decided to compare villagers from the series to Brie Larson, and some of the side-by-sides actually look pretty similar. They were so good, in fact, the Marvel actress herself responded and gave a nod of approval. On February 23, Twitter user ‘tessaracts’ shared a post captioned “Brie Larson as Animal Crossing villagers; a thread” in which they uploaded a picture of money-hungry raccoon Tom Nook wearing a leaf print shirt next to a photograph of the 30-year-old in a similar outfit. The tweet went viral with over 3,800 retweets and 21,700 likes, and caught so much attention, that the actress herself managed to see it and responded to it. Read More: Adorable Animal Crossing Stitches plush – “Literal actual facts,” she quote-tweeted, clearly impressed by the creativity. The thread also included comparisons like villager June wearing a floral outfit, and Resetti raging out after the player reset their console without saving. The California-born star responded again when another user replied with a picture of smug squirrel villager Marshal next to a picture of the actress as Envy Adams in movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. “I would like to add this,” the fan said, to which Larson quote-tweeted a second time with “Addendum to the actual literal facts!” as a follow up to her first one. The comparison meme has been around for a while, with other versions including a whole horde of celebrities and their counterparts such as cartoon characters, flowers, and weirdly enough, fruits. Addendum to the actual literal facts! https://t.co/w291sagJMY — Brie Larson (@brielarson) February 26, 2020 Animal Crossing: New Horizons releases on March 20 onto the Nintendo Switch, and promises to be the best game yet in the life simulation series.

Bridgett takes posture tips from Knut after being mocked on stream – Dexerto
Bridgett takes posture tips from Knut after being mocked on stream Twitch: Bridgett / Twitch: KnutAfter being mocked for her ‘suggestive’ poses, Twitch star ‘Bridgett’ decided it was time to take tips from the pro of streamer posture – bodybuilder ‘Knut’ While most Twitch streamers are Community Guideline-abiding users, there’s been a bunch of controversy recently surrounding “sexually suggestive content” on the platform. Content creators have been banned for NSFW-related offensive in droves, either intentional or accidental. While some people have been knocking on the doors of Twitch, others have taken the time out to poke some fun at the rest of the community. So, when Knut decided to mock streamers like Bridgett and how they sit, she decided to listen to his advice – and steal his sitting position. While live on her September 22 broadcast, Bridgett was going through some random Twitch clips when she decided to give Knut a gander. The Norwegian bodybuilder made fun of the way some streamers sit on camera, which has led to some borderline NSFW moments. Read more: Mitch Jones responds to Twitch ban – Instead of getting riled up about it though, she instead tried to hold a conversation with the Knut of five days past, asking him for tips about the way she should sit on stream. “Teach me,” she said, as she re-enacted each of his poses perfectly. “I can sit like this for hours and hours – it’s just so comfortable.” Read more: Grizz responds to Twitch ban – She even looked to answer some of Knut’s rhetorical questions about sex. “It’s so hard, I haven’t had sex in so long guys. Can you guys tell me about your sex life?” Twitch has been on a bit of a suspension spree, cracking down on content creators who don’t abide by the platform’s Community Guidelines. This requires streamers to dress and act appropriately on stream, although it’s not a strict ruling. This has led to multiple streamers coming under fire for all sorts of activities on Twitch. Artists, cosplayers and entertainers alike have been handed down bans, with the community criticizing Twitch’s interpretation of the guidelines. Bridgett herself was caught up in the ban controversy. Her channel was taken down for three days for “sharing or engaging in sexually suggestive content or activities” on September 12. 600However, this interpretation of the controversy has put smiles back on a lot of streamer’s faces as they look to get back to doing what they are best at – entertaining.

Bridesmaids spark outrage after cutting their dresses shorter during reception – Dexerto
Bridesmaids spark outrage after cutting their dresses shorter during reception TIKTOK: Emma.leagueA viral video of bridesmaids cutting their dresses short during a wedding reception has left TikTok viewers divided. Content creator Emma (emma.league) posted a clip of herself and other bridesmaids at a wedding party cutting up their long pale pink dresses to knee length. “When all of the bridesmaids decided we were gonna cut our dresses after the reception started,” she captioned the post, which went viral with a whopping 12.5 million views. In the video, they are seen smiling and laughing, with some joking they would not be dancing depending on how short their dresses end up being. But while the bridesmaids didn’t see it as a big deal, many viewers took issue with them making drastic alterations to their gowns, while others were concerned about what the bride’s reaction was. TikTok divided over dress alterations “Those dresses cost too much to trash them like that. No way,” one TikTok user commented. “Please tell me the bride knew and was okay with this,” another wrote, to which Emma replied that she did and was okay with them making the changes. In a follow-up, the TikToker showed the bridesmaids dancing and enjoying the reception with the bride after the dress cut. However, commenters were still divided on whether the dress alterations were the right choice. “I would be livid – the end result looks sh*t,” one user said. “The wild and crazy bridesmaids stole the attention from the bride with crazy antics,” another added. “If I was the bride that paid for these I wouldn’t be too happy,” a third wrote. Others, however, praised the bridesmaids and said the last-minute changes were a good idea. “This is such a clever idea. No one ever wears their bridesmaid dress again, anyways,” one shared. “They’re cute! So much easier to party in too, they turned out great,” another commented.

Bridesmaid mortifies viewers with ‘cringe’ wedding speech in viral TikTok – Dexerto
Bridesmaid mortifies viewers with ‘cringe’ wedding speech in viral TikTok TIKTOK: browneyed_beauteeA bridesmaid’s awkward wedding speech went viral on TikTok as it left many viewers feeling uncomfortable. In a video with over 11 million views, Tori, who’s the sister of the groom, shared the almost two-minute-long wedding speech the bridesmaid gave, which left viewers and guests cringing. The bridesmaid, Shannon, began her speech by explaining that she’d known the bride for nine years. She then said: “I don’t quite know [the groom] that well, but Tracy talks about you non-stop. You guys are so cute together.” The speech was going well at first, but started to go awry as the bridesmaid joked: “You better take care of my girl because if you don’t, I know where you live,” sparking awkward laughters from the guests. Things then got really bad when she said: “You’re a part of the family, I swear to God. Like, I’m not going to be racist, you guys, I’m just saying.” One of the guests is heard saying “Oh my gosh” in response to this. “I’m gonna be racist, OK” Shannon continued while snapping her fingers, before saying that the newlywed mixed-race couple were “outstepping the stereotype and I love it.” She then added that she “loves Black people,” which prompted someone to start clapping to finally conclude the speech. TikTok mortified by bridesmaid’s wedding speech TikTok users in the comments were horrified and couldn’t believe what they had watched. “Wtaf?! I thought you were just sharing a cringy public speaking clip and that was bad enough, but…then…it took a turn,” one commented. “I actually gasped out loud! What in the actual hell??” another weighed in. “My skin was peeling away from the bone trying to watch this,” a third added. “At first I was like “ehh it’s just awkward” and then my jaw dropped, I’m mortified,” someone else shared. Others commended the wedding guest who started clapping. “Whoever started clapping = hero. I mean, that had to end. Brutal,” one user wrote. In another video, Tori shared a text message conversation of the bride’s reaction to Shannon’s speech. The bride was certainly unimpressed, as she wrote: “When she started going there I kind of froze up, and I was holding Anthony’s hand. Once she got to the mixing part, I dug my nails into his palm and immediately looked toward the family and gave Ty that light ‘get her’ look.” Just to prove that not all the speeches were awkward, Tori also posted a video of another friend with a genuinely heartwarming speech.

Bride’s wedding flight canceled due to Alaska Airlines kerfuffle – Dexerto
Bride’s wedding flight canceled due to Alaska Airlines kerfuffle officialemmadegs/TikTokA bride shared her stressful week with her TikTok viewers after United Airlines canceled her and her fiance’s flight to their wedding following the Alaska Airlines drama where a window blew off the plane mid-air. A woman on TikTok shared that the flight she and her fiancé were supposed to take to their wedding was canceled in the wake of the Alaska Airlines disaster and now she’s begging for help. TikToker Emma Degerstedt posted a video on January 9 where she expressed her panic after finding out that United canceled her and her fiance’s flight to their wedding destination. “So we are flying to our wedding tomorrow morning, and United just told us that our flight is canceled,” Emma Degerstedt told the 1.2 million viewers. She continued to tell the viewers that she’d frantically tried to find new flights that would have them arrive at their wedding destination on time, but wouldn’t let her and her soon-to-be husband sit next to each other and the flight times weren’t what they wanted. But Emma said she just wanted to find a way to get there. But when she clicked on the option to book the 6 a.m. flight, Emma discovered that it was a standby ticket — with no guarantee of getting on the flight. “When people told me that things were going to go wrong the week of your wedding, I thought the florist would forget and we wouldn’t have flowers at our wedding, like things I could manage,” she said. “Not that like we wouldn’t get there for our wedding. United, help.” United canceled flights following Alaska Airlines emergency Emma posted a follow-up video the next day sharing that she found out why her flight was canceled. “Remember that Alaska Airlines flight where the door fell off, that was our plane. A Boeing MAX 9. It was recalled because doors are flying off,” she told viewers. “I was like how many planes of these are in existence that just got recalled? Like, do we have to call everyone coming to our wedding and warn them about their flight? Oh no no, there’s only 80 of them, and we happen to be on one of the 80 United Boeing MAX 9 planes in the entire United States.” She continued: “I have a stress rash starting now. Nothing else can happen now, right? We’re done?” Luckily, the story has a happy ending as Emma documented her and her fiance’s flight to their wedding destination, and went on to tell viewers that everything ended well. Despite this, people in the comments didn’t have much sympathy for the couple and their situation, pointing out that flying out the day before the wedding was a rookie mistake. On Wednesday, January 10, she posted another update on the situation to address people’s comments. She said that they were originally planning on flying out on Wednesday for a Friday afternoon start date for the wedding weekend. However, four guests had to rebook their flights due to facing the same issue as the bride and groom. On Friday, January 5, an Alaska Airlines flight turned into a nightmare when a section of the plane blew out mid-flight, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in Portland.

In a follow-up video, the bride showed that the moment was a complete accident. The clip showed the mom was actually rushing out of the way, so that she could also be in the room to see her daughter’s big reveal.

Bride’s friend blasts ‘disrespectful’ wedding guests for wearing white dresses – Dexerto
Bride’s friend blasts ‘disrespectful’ wedding guests for wearing white dresses TIKTOK: isabellasg3A bride’s friend called out two wedding guests in a viral TikTok, after they showed up to the ceremony in white dresses. In a viral nine-second clip with over 40 million views, TikToker Isabella Santos Giha blasted two guests, who were wearing white gowns to the ceremony. “Two girls wore WHITE at my friend’s wedding,” she wrote in the text-overlay of the video, as she filmed a guest wearing a floor-length lace gown, which appeared to be a pale peach or off-white color. The other guest was seen donning a white off-the-shoulder gown with a white lace overlay. Isabella claimed that the woman was wearing a “legit wedding dress.” She then recorded the blushing bride in her ballgown-style dress. According to the content creator, she ended up being “sad” because the guests had clashed with her on her big day. “Please never wear WHITE at someone’s wedding. It is sad and disrespect[ful],” Isabella added in the caption of the video. TikTok reacts to guests wearing white to wedding Many TikTok users in the comments were sympathetic with the bride, saying wedding guests should know better than to wear white. “Disrespectful. She looked SO beautiful regardless!” one person wrote. “Like come on they know! Everyone knows! If you’re not the bride you don’t wear white!” another added. “I can’t believe the audacity some people have,” a third wrote. While the majority of viewers condemned the guests’ outfits, there were some that defended the women on the basis that the wedding etiquette rule is only common in some cultures. “Laughs in Nigerian culture. I recently realized this was a thing,” one said. “Is this an American thing?” another asked. Others shared their own similar experiences. “My mother-in-law wore a white gown. I was so shocked when I walked down the aisle and saw her standing there,” one commented. “My mother wore a white wedding dress to my wedding” someone else shared. This isn’t the first time such a controversy has got TikTok up in arms either. Back in February, a bride called out her mother-in-law for her white dress too.

Bride’s father suffers mortifying wardrobe malfunction walking down aisle – Dexerto
Bride’s father suffers mortifying wardrobe malfunction walking down aisle A bride gave TikTok a PSA after her dad suffered a mortifying wardrobe malfunction while walking her down the aisle. Having your wedding go well without any mishaps is a hopeful expectation for both brides and grooms. So when one bride’s father suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while walking her down the aisle, she stood there in disbelief. The video of the moment has now gone viral, and TikTok can’t help but to laugh. TikTok calls out photographer for hilariously capturing embarrassing moment Sarah Cohners was marrying the love of her life when one of the most embarrassing moments occurred. While Cohners was being walked down the aisle by her father, his pants came loose and fell to his feet. As he bent over to pick them up, family and friends could see his white underwear for what seemed like forever. Cohners, shocked, stood there by his side as cameras flashed to capture the humiliating occurrence. Sharing a video of the viral moment to TikTok, Cohners expressed to future brides, “To all my 2024 brides, make sure that whoever is walking you down the aisle is wearing suspenders.” Those who have seen the video of Cohners’ dad’s wardrobe malfunction commented on how hilarious it was that a photographer snapped a photo right after his pants dropped. Viewers also shared in laughter, saying, “The more I watch this, the less shocking it is and the more funny it gets. You would win America’s Funniest Home Videos if that were still a thing.” And, “Oh no, this is iconic. Something to laugh about for the rest of your life!” Though a mortifying moment, some of the guests were able to laugh it off. As for the bride, she didn’t disclose her exact feelings. However, her PSA for brides-to-be may be reason enough to say she’d likely never want that to happen again.

Bride under fire for putting wedding goers at risk to “save” photos – Dexerto
Bride under fire for putting wedding goers at risk to “save” photos TikTok: Maddison Anne StudioA bride has gone viral on TikTok after putting wedding goers at risk and covering exit signs, all so they could “save” the photos they took. Wedding prep and parties have become one of TikTok’s favorite genres over the last few years, with many couples looking for inspiration and others wanting to witness bridezillas being furious over little details. Some clips have gone viral because brides-to-be have found super expensive dresses at rock-bottom prices, while some left the internet bemused by the menu they’ve laid out at their wedding reception. In the case of one TikToker – Bridget (@bridgezilla) – she’s gone viral because she had the exit signs covered at her wedding venue as it was done in a bid to “save” the photos that were being taken. Bride goes viral covering exit signs at wedding party That’s right, the bride defied safety regulations by having the majority of illuminated exit signs covered up with wooden versions so that the aesthetic of any wedding photos would be ‘saved’ by not including them. Bridget’s original clip has since been deleted, given the backlash, but a number of stitches are still up. That includes one from photographer Madison Anee, who was dismayed by the choice to cover up the signs. “Literally speechless – and I promise you, exit signs are not a big deal,” she said. Plenty of viewers also voiced their concern about it. “In disbelief that the wedding venue didn’t notice,” said one. “Me as a wedding guest perishing in a fire because I couldn’t find the exit (but it’s okay because the venue is tastefully decorated),” another joked. “There’s a photographer in the comments THANKING her,” said another, adding a concerned emoji. “The wedding party might perish but at least the photos were saved.” Some viewers did have her back, though, saying they’d try a similar thing. “No, I agree, cover the exit,” said one. Bridget uploaded another video of her and her husband dancing, with one commenter noting that not all of the exit signs were covered up – given that a bright red one can be seen in the background. “You pay attention to things that most people ignore,” the bride responded, referencing the song also being used on her videos.

Bride stops talking to father for refusing to pay for her $200K destination wedding – Dexerto
Bride stops talking to father for refusing to pay for her $200K destination wedding Unsplash: jeremy wong weddingsThe father of a bride has taken to Reddit to explain how his daughter and wife aren’t speaking to him for refusing to pay for his daughter’s destination wedding. In true wedding tradition, the family of the bride pays for their daughter’s special day. However, one father of a bride has refused to pay for his daughter’s wedding, as he believes that her demands are too high and unreasonable. The father has even taken to Reddit to express his concerns and situation, as both his daughter and wife are no longer speaking to him. Father of the bride might give daughter an “ultimatum” for her wedding plans The father of a bride asked Reddit if he was an a**hole for refusing to pay for his daughter’s 200K destination wedding to New Zealand. Explaining the situation, the father said that although he and his wife can afford their daughter’s demands, he, instead, feels that the wedding of her dreams would be a “pointless showing of wealth.” The father also expressed that both sides of the family are quite large, so the headcount would be between 100 and 200 people, resulting in the guests forking out loads of money for travel and hotel expenses. At the end of his Reddit post, the father said that he would be giving his daughter an ultimatum once he does his research on how much a New York wedding would be compared to a New Zealand wedding, as their family resides in NY. He then said that his daughter would either be getting the funds for a reasonable wedding or she would be getting the money for a house with her husband. Those who read his post commented their opinions, saying, “If she can’t pay for a destination wedding on her own, then she shouldn’t be having a destination wedding. It seems cruel but it’s true. Not to mention there’s so much more money involved with the flights and the hotels and stuff.” As well as, “If she wants a destination wedding then she and her fiancée can pay for it themselves. You can contribute any amount you are comfortable with and they can figure out the rest. Give a lump sum, let them use it for a wedding, down payment, whatever but it’s capped and anything more is on them (if you’re feeling generous). Remember, this is your money, no one else’s.” The father even mentioned that most family members do not even have passports. He also noted that he refuses to give her the 200K off hand, as he knows she will use it as a down payment for the NZ wedding and then force him into paying the rest of the expenses.

Bride outraged after being asked to tip for buying wedding dress – Dexerto
Bride outraged after being asked to tip for buying wedding dress TikTok: inajosipovic / Unsplash.com: Nathan DumlaoA bride was left stunned when a boutique asked her to tip after purchasing her wedding gown, sparking a viral debate about tipping culture in the United States. Tipping culture is becoming a hot topic among residents of the United States, where tipping has become expected at many businesses — even those where one might think tipping is out of the question. For example, it’s quite common to tip at hair salons, coffee shops, and restaurants. However, other places of business, where employees don’t provide certain services, are also asking for tips these days, using tablets that prompt customers to tip 15%, 20%, or 25% of their bill. In an economy that’s already being wracked by inflation, the pressure to tip is becoming greater by the day, and some Americans are getting fed up with it. Bride stunned when boutique asks for tip after buying wedding gown The topic of tipping culture came up again when bride-to-be Ina Josipović vented about her experience at the boutique where she purchased her wedding gown in a viral TikTok video. She was checking out, having happily bought her dream dress, when she was stunned to see the clerk turn their tablet to face her with the option to tip. Since she spoke another language, Ina asked her friend if she’d ever had to tip at a bridal boutique — something her friend claimed she’d never experienced. “When I tell you, I full-on froze,” she explained. “…I stood there, and I think they saw the blood leave my body. I did not expect to have to tip buying a wedding dress.” “The dress is already expensive, right? 10% on a $1,500, $2,000 dress is like another $200.” Ultimately, Ina was confused about being asked to tip at a bridal store, saying she didn’t think she received a “service” from the employees — and it seems like commenters are largely in agreement. “Tipping for a wedding dress is 100% strange,” one viewer commented. “The tipping culture in the US is out of control,” another said. Still others shared their experiences being asked to tip in strange places, such as the pharmacy, merch stands at concerts, and even car dealerships. Other wedding dress stylists confirmed that this practice isn’t the norm, with one claiming: “I worked in a bridal salon, tipping is not normal. I own a business now, you can turn the tip feature off on software so yes, they are asking.” This is just the latest viral conversation regarding America’s controversial tipping culture after a DoorDash driver slashed a customer’s tires because they didn’t tip.

Bride in tears as over half of confirmed guests don’t show up to wedding – Dexerto
Bride in tears as over half of confirmed guests don’t show up to wedding TIKTOK: grayanxietyA heartbroken bride went viral on TikTok after claiming that less than half the guests who RSVP’d as attending actually attended their $27,000 wedding. TikToker grayanxiety invited 88 guests including family, friends, and colleagues to celebrate with them on their big day. The bride even made a spreadsheet listing all RSVPs, and booked a venue that was capable of holding the party. However, Gray’s wedding was “ruined” after only a few confirmed guests showed up. In a viral clip with 9.1 million views, the newlywed wrote, “88 people said yes… not even 40 showed up.” The video also showed a nearly-empty function filled with tables. Gray revealed in a comment, “We canceled our sparkler send-off, private dance, dinner… cut entire reception short. Been in tears for hours over this.” They added that most of their money was spent on making soaps, magnets, and “spell jars” for guests to take home. The couple will keep almost all of them, they revealed. Another video showed Gray with tear-stained make-up, with the caption “We literally sat in the empty ceremony room together and cried.” They continued: “Nyx’s family immediately left after pictures, my mum didn’t say a single word to me until my dad made her. “I cancelled my dream send-off, cancelled dinner at my favourite place, the DJ felt so bad he made us use the photobooth I hadn’t touched and took pictures together.” Many users in the comments felt for Gray, and advised them to throw an alternative wedding with the TikTok community. “My heart breaks for you guys no one deserves this. Just know everyone here on TikTok is celebrating you two!” one user wrote. “Just have another wedding with us, we will bring the energy unlike these guys,” another added. “Let’s have a wedding re-do! We are all coming!” a third said.

Bride goes viral as the internet can’t stop roasting her wedding food – Dexerto
Bride goes viral as the internet can’t stop roasting her wedding food TikTok: TheFitFataleA bride has gone viral on TikTok as the internet has been pretty brutal about the food she ate at her wedding, with many saying she should have let her hair down a bit. Over the last few years, social media users haven’t been afraid of sharing stuff about their weddings. It’s their big day and, sometimes, they’ll go with a unique theme, take stunning photos that catch the eye of social media, or keep the whole thing under wraps so they can surprise family and friends with a viral video. Naturally, there have been a few horror stories shared as well, especially when it comes to things like inviting guests and them wearing similar outfits to the bride and groom. Though, in the case of TikToker Sam Cutler (TheFitFatale), she had a pretty perfect wedding planned out – right down to the food she was eating throughout the day. Fitness TikToker goes viral as viewers roast her wedding day food The TikToker, who does focus on fitness and lifestyle content, naturally went with some healthy choices for her wedding day – including a set of juices, a veggie platter, sugar-free cakes, and low-sugar drinks. It completely fit her lifestyle, but, the video has gone viral across TikTok in a different way, as many of the 4.6 million viewers have roasted Sam’s choices and questioned why she didn’t have a cheat day for her wedding day. “Oh I’m shoving my face & taking shots of tequila on my wedding day,” said one viewer. “I’d be so hungry at this wedding. Def leave early and hit up Maccas (McDonalds) drive-through on the way home,” commented another. “Girl it’s one day you can have sugar,” added another. The TikToker did follow-up on the video with another two addressing some of the hate, including one that documented the full menu for guests. Sam noted that the couple did have an “inclusive” menu after surveying guests about their dietary restrictions, and while she may have eaten pretty healthily, the guests were not “forced” to follow her. The clips have also been shared across Twitter and other social media sites, with plenty of viewers also being a bit baffled by it all.

Bride goes viral after losing friend over no plus-one rule at wedding – Dexerto
Bride goes viral after losing friend over no plus-one rule at wedding TIKTOK: corabreiA bride went viral on TikTok after revealing that she lost her long-term friend over a ‘no-plus-one’ rule at her “intimate” wedding. TikToker Cora Breilein said she lost a friend of nearly a decade after refusing to allow the woman to bring her new boyfriend as a plus-one to her 96-person wedding. “Lost a 7+ year friendship over not inviting a [boyfriend] I never met,” the influencer revealed in a viral video, which has garnered 5.4 million views. Her confession was shared over a screenshot of the “Frequently Asked Questions” page of her wedding website. The site stated that she and her then-fiancé would not be hosting the partners of their guests if the additional person’s name wasn’t already included on the Save the Date card or the formal invitation. “Our wedding felt so special and intimate knowing everyone there,” Cora continued in the on-screen text of her clip. “It’s worth weeding people that aren’t interested in being part of your life, out.” Many TikTok users in the comments slammed the bride over her plus-one rule, calling the decision “pure insanity” and branding her a “Karen.” Cora responded to a critic in a follow-up, explaining that guests were allowed to bring a boyfriend, girlfriend or fiancé to their wedding, as long as she’d already met the plus-one prior to her big day. “It [was] just about [inviting] people who will be in our lives long-term,” she said. “If I never met their boyfriend or their girlfriend, I did not feel comfortable inviting them.” She continued: “The FAQs were there because we had an intentionally small wedding, and we wanted to know every single person there. But a lot of people have a ‘No ring, no invite’ rule, and we were not that strict about it.” Despite facing backlash over her wedding restrictions, the TikToker said they helped her special day run smoothly. “I know my wedding day, I know it was a success. I had a lot of fun, my fiancé had a lot of fun, our friends and family had a lot of fun… and that’s all that matters,” she said.

There were some users, however, that came to Blake’s defense. “It’s just a game y’all it’s not that serious,” one said. “I’d do the same if the F1 was on,” another shared. “Tbh if they’re not doing anything and just sitting there and chatting I don’t see the issue,” someone else wrote.

Bride goes viral after blasting mother-in-law for wearing white gown to her wedding TIKTOK: jazzyhop555A furious bride has gone viral on TikTok, after calling out her mother-in-law for wearing a white gown to her wedding, and viewers were equally upset on her behalf. Jasmine Hopper took to TikTok to reveal that the mother of her groom wore a white dress on her big day, and tried to convince the couple that it was not white, but cream with gold sequins. “MIL shows up to our wedding wearing a literal wedding gown,” Jasmine wrote in a text-overlay on her video, which went viral with over 10 million views. She later elaborated on what happened in a series of videos. “So the day we went wedding dress shopping, my mother-in-law was there with us. I picked out a mermaid-laced sequin-style gown,” the newlywed recalled. “I wanted to look beautiful on my wedding day, I wanted to wear something I could feel sexy in.” When the wedding day rolled around, Jasmine was focused on doing her own hair and make-up. “No one could distract me. There was one single thing, not even wearing a white dress to my wedding that could distract me,” she said. Bride’s mother-in-law slammed for white gown at wedding “So when she was wearing that dress and practically showed up in the same dress I was wearing, I really had no reaction other than, ‘Huh. Maybe she shouldn’t be wearing that. That’s weird.’” According to Jasmine, it didn’t really hit her until the day after the wedding after seeing the photos. “It wasn’t until the next day that I was looking through the wedding pictures that were sent to me, going ‘why the f*** is she wearing the same dress as me?’” she said. “And I started getting mad and madder and f***ing furious.” In a follow-up, the TikToker said that her own family and the rest of the wedding guests had been talking about the mom’s dress during the wedding too. “It’s embarrassing, it’s actually embarrassing, I can’t even put it into words how embarrassed I am that my mother-in-law wore the same dress as me on my wedding day, it hurts my soul,” Jasmine said. The married couple did not speak to her for nearly nine months, until she reached out to them. “She was shocked to hear it was because of her dress choice,” Jasmine recalled. “She had no idea that we were upset with her about the dress.” The mom-in-law then reportedly tried to “gaslight” the couple by saying the dress was a “cream-colored, gold sequined dress.” “I’m not blind, and neither is everybody I know,” the TikToker said. “That was a white gown. it was absolutely a white dress. A sequined, lace, mermaid-style dress, like mine.” Two months later, the mother-in-law tried to apologize to the couple by sending out Christmas cards — featuring the wedding snaps. Jasmine assured viewers that the mom doesn’t have a relationship with her or her husband anymore. For more TikTok news and other viral stories, head over to our entertainment hub.

Bride goes viral after blacking out at her own wedding after too many drinks – Dexerto
Bride goes viral after blacking out at her own wedding after too many drinks TikTok: mjgalloway1001A bride is taking TikTok by storm after sharing her blacked-out wedding night with her followers, showing that she didn’t exactly get to enjoy the end of her reception after drinking too much. Weddings are a celebration of love and the joining of families — but sometimes, these festivities can go a little overboard. In fact, quite a few weddings have gone viral on social media sites like TikTok after celebrations went too far, like the time a groom punched one of his guests who got a little too tipsy and ended up destroying his wedding cake. The latest wedding to take over TikTok is decidedly less violent, but still jaw-dropping, nonetheless. Bride goes viral for blacking out at wedding reception Like many modern brides, newlywed influencer Mackenzie Grimsley shared snippets of her wedding day to husband Braden with her viewers on TikTok. In her videos, she showed off her dazzling white dress, the moment she sealed her vows with a kiss, and of course, the reception. However, Grimsley’s afterparty may have gotten a bit too turnt. In a clip detailing all the “non-traditional things” she did at her wedding, one of them was blacking out after drinking too much and eventually passing out while hugging the toilet bowl. Grimsley shared a series of photos from the unfortunate turn of events in a video that’s racking up millions of views, showing the progression of her drunkenness throughout the night — from passing out on the toilet to being ushered out of the venue by her hubby and friends. Possibly the best moment of the evening, though, was captured in her husband’s face, with many commenters saying he looked like he’d gone in way over his head. “Mans looks STRESSED,” one commenter joked. “Braden’s like, ‘Damn, didn’t think I was gonna have to deal with the through sickness vow so fast,’” another wrote. “I just wanna know what Braden was thinking in that pic,” yet another said. Mackenzie created a follow-up video explaining how she’d gotten so tipsy, saying that she had eaten a ton of food throughout the day and even paced herself when it came to drinks, even guzzling water between shots… but that she may have drank a lot more than she thought she did. “Apparently, I was taking way more shots than I thought I was taking. I literally couldn’t tell you,” she said. “All I remember is being perfectly fine, and then I vaguely remember being like, ‘Oh shit, I’m about to be really f*cked up.” Luckily, she only missed the last thirty minutes of her reception before being carried away by her entourage. Talk about a wedding to remember! (Or not, in Mackenzie’s case.) This is just the latest wedding to go viral on TikTok after one couple’s wedding invitation sparked backlash for asking guests to pay for their own meals.

Bride calls out bridesmaid for ‘groping’ her husband in wedding photos – Dexerto
Bride calls out bridesmaid for ‘groping’ her husband in wedding photos TIKTOK: heatherlynn6977A newly married woman went viral on TikTok after sharing wedding photos, which showed her bridesmaid getting handsy with her husband. After receiving photos from her big day, Heather Lynn (heatherlynn6977) was stunned when she noticed the woman holding her man’s hand, and posing near his groin. “Getting your wedding photos back and [noticing] something,” she captioned her video, which featured several stills of the bridesmaid seemingly groping her groom, Travis, during their nuptials. In the pics, the unnamed woman was seen standing next to Travis, linking arms with him, placing her hand near his crotch, and grabbing his hand, as he and his oblivious bride smiled for the camera. “I guess I’m getting a sister wife,” Heather joked in the now-deleted video, which went viral with more than 18 million views. TikTok users flocked to the comments to condemn the bridesmaid. “A sister wife? I’d be getting a divorce,” one user wrote, convinced that the bridesmaid and groom are having an affair. “My thoughts are that the photographer is trying to tell you something,” another said. “Did she not get the memo that she was not the bride?!” a third added. “Definitely something going on there,” someone else commented. In a follow-up video, Heather’s husband explained that the bridesmaid was unstable and about to fall, so she grabbed onto him for stability. “The photographer told the bridal party to do a crazy pose while my wife and I were kissing, and she did and almost fell over,” he shared. “Sorry to disappoint everybody who wanted me to be a cheater and the bridesmaid to be a homewrecker,” he said. “She did not touch my crotch. It just looks like she did.” The bride also defended the bridesmaid against critics and described her as a “former work wife” and friend.

Bride and groom’s outlandish wedding rules go viral: “There will be twerking” – Dexerto
Bride and groom’s outlandish wedding rules go viral: “There will be twerking” Unsplash: Jeremy Wong WeddingsA bride and groom have gone viral for their “condescending” wedding rules after being exposed on Reddit by a disgruntled guest. Labeling the couple as a “bridezilla” and “groomzilla” respectively, the original poster ‘VieleAud‘ shared a set of 15 rules guests were expected to uphold. “If someone sent this to me I would simply just not go,” they captioned the Reddit thread, with more than 4,600 upvotes showing that users of the platform evidently agreed. The couple — whose names were redacted from the list of rules to protect their identities — have since been slammed in the comments and dubbed “a*******.” However, it is not the rules themselves that have users riled up, but the “entitled” and “condescending” phrasing. The rules included: reminding guests that it is the couple’s “big day, not yours;” ordering invitees to stay out of the photographer’s way; the dress code is strictly black and gold; and the seating chart is not to be rearranged. Rule five, in particular, rubbed some users the wrong way for its wording, reading, “If you didn’t put out any money for the wedding, keep your should’ve, could’ve, would’ve to yourself. Your opinion is irrelevant.” The couple then went on to instruct guests to “pace” their drinking, make no big announcements or proposals, and “simply go home” if they didn’t like the music; “This is a celebration, not a funeral.” “This is a ‘Taking over for the 99′ [and] 2000’s’ type of event, so there will be twerking,” rule nine continued, before a redacted hashtag was given for any photos posted online. Following the couple’s rule on “twerking,” guests were told to “not sit down all night” and warned they would be “escorted out” if caught with liquor not supplied by the venue. The final three rules on the list were a reminder that it was the couple’s big day and that the “bride and groom said what they said,” though this shouldn’t stop invitees from turning “all the way up.” “Yeah, the majority of these are basic wedding wisdom anyway,” one Redditor pointed out, claiming the rules were “just phrased aggressively.” A second person agreed that “these could be rewritten to not sound like an a******,” with a third questioning “Who are you inviting to your wedding that you have to tell them to not complain?” When one commenter pointed out the couple’s misspelling of “irrelevant” as “irrelavent,” another jokingly responded, “Pointing out typos is a flagrant violation of rule 5. Cousin Jack will be escorting you out. Leave your registry gift on the table.”

Bride accidentally captures audio of wedding guests ‘talking sh*t’ about her – Dexerto
Bride accidentally captures audio of wedding guests ‘talking sh*t’ about her TIKTOK: yayakampenA bride went viral on TikTok after revealing she accidentally recorded her wedding guests “sh*t talking” her and her wife at their wedding. In a viral video with 3.2 million views, content creator Yaya (yayakampen), said that she unintentionally recorded all of her wedding guests’ private conversations. The newlywed explained that she wanted to purchase an audio guestbook that would allow guests to leave a message for her and her wife on the phone. However, as it was too expensive, the TikToker decided to make her own version. After buying an old-fashioned phone from a thrift store, Yaya installed a tiny, sound-sensitive audio recorder into the handle. It would only record when it heard a voice, so Yaya believed she would get to listen to all of the lovely messages her guests left for her. But, the bride got more than she bargained for. Wedding guests caught gossiping about bride When she listened to the recordings a week after her wedding, she noticed that the recorder picked up all the voices from the entire outdoor venue. “So it’s like two hours of audio of like people leaving messages, of course, but then literally everything else happening the entire wedding day,” Yaya said in the video. The TikToker realized that her gay wedding caused a lot of drama in their small town and in their extended family. Yaya also said that she and her spouse caused some drama by uninviting those who didn’t support their marriage. After several TikTok users commented that they wanted to hear the audio clips, Yaya shared some in another video. TikToker shares audio clip from wedding She shared an audio clip of her aunt talking to a cousin about people that weren’t at the wedding because they got uninvited. “Like how tacky and disrespectful can you be?” the auntie said, presumably talking about Yaya and her spouse. The aunt was also caught saying she didn’t “support” the newlyweds’ decision to exclude some people from their matrimony, calling the TikToker “tasteless.” Yaya didn’t share much more audio, saying she would have had to bleep out many names for people’s privacy. Although she was hurt by her family’s name-calling, Yaya said she didn’t regret one thing about her big day. “I think that our wedding was really beautiful…and I loved our guest book idea, I thought it was really cute,” she said. “If you’re literally planning your wedding, please only invite people who just love the crap out of you,” she advised.

Brianna Chickenfry shuts down viral rumors of cheating with Noah Beck on Dixie D’Amelio’s birthday – Dexerto
Brianna Chickenfry shuts down viral rumors of cheating with Noah Beck on Dixie D’Amelio’s birthday Instgram: briannalapaglia / YouTube: Dixie D’AmelioPodcast host Brianna Chickenfry hit back at rumors of breaking up Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio after fans were convinced Brianna and Noah had hooked up. Dixie D’Amelio celebrated her 21st birthday with family and friends this August in several lavish nights out in Las Vegas. However, fans couldn’t help but notice that her boyfriend, TikTok star and soccer player Noah Beck, was absent from the photos taken at her bombastic birthday bash. A tea post from popular Instagram celebrity gossip page ‘deuxmoi’ claimed that Noah had skipped out on Dixie’s birthday party to celebrate TikToker Bryce Hall’s 23rd b-day instead. That’s not all; the source also alleged that they’d seen Noah “all over Brianna Chickenfry” at the party, sparking rumors that Noah had cheated on Dixie with the Barstool sports employee. “They were with each other all night and were super smiley and giggly,” the source alleged. Brianna hit back at these claims during an August 24 episode of the BFFs podcast, arguing that she was in New York at that time and that Noah was celebrating with Dixie in Las Vegas. “There’s no f**king story,” she began. “Noah was with Dixie that night, and I was in New York. Neither of us were even at Bryce’s party.” “Noah was with Dixie, and I was in New York,” she repeated. “This wasn’t the same night as her birthday party. Whatever. F**k you guys. I’m just a homewrecker w**re. Let’s run with it.” Dixie D’Amelio speaks out on Noah Beck Brianna Chickenfry cheating rumors That’s not all; Brianna even shared her recent text messages with Dixie, “Obviously you know the me and Noah thing is fake. I was in New York, I was not at Bryce Hall’s party haha, but just wanted to make sure.” “Oh my god, he was with me that night, hahaha,” Dixie apparently replied. “Hell yes, some crazy person submitted that. Yes, please don’t worry, but when you’re back in LA I’d love to do something.” (Topic begins at 28:00) These rumors follow similar claims from fans earlier this year, when viewers were convinced the pair had broken up — but Dixie claimed they were still going strong and explained why they’d decided to make their relationship private. “We have decided to fully take our relationship off the internet, and whether we’re together or not,” she said. “We don’t post together, we don’t comment on each other’s posts, just because it’s so… The more you do it, the more it brings people in like, ‘Oh my gosh, they didn’t like each other’s posts today, they’re broken up,’ and it’s just so draining.” For now, it’s unclear how the couple are faring — and it’s likely that they want it that way.

Brianna Chickenfry hits back at Trisha Paytas over “weird” OnlyFans drama – Dexerto
Brianna Chickenfry hits back at Trisha Paytas over “weird” OnlyFans drama YouTube: JUST TRISH PODCAST / TikTok: BriannaChickenfryBrianna Chickenfry is hitting back after Trisha Paytas brought up an incident from years ago where she was recorded laughing at Trish’s OnlyFans content. Trisha Paytas is an OG YouTuber and OnlyFans creator who is making the rounds again thanks to her new podcast, ‘Just Trish.’ Although Trish has had feuds with a number of influencers over the course of her career as an internet icon, an incident from years ago is cropping up again after she mentioned it in a recent episode of her podcast. During a September 5 episode of the pod, Trisha brought up an incident that had occurred in 2019, where BFFs co-host Brianna Chickenfry was recorded supposedly reacting to Trish’s OF content. Trisha Paytas calls out Barstool Sports over viral OnlyFans reaction video In the video, Brianna was laughing, and the clip went viral online. “There was a video of Barstool Sports employees making fun of my OnlyFans,” she explained. “It was two girls and two guys. And I’m like, ‘You are so disgusting and sick and twisted.’” “No matter what, no matter how much money I make… that’s me at my literal most vulnerable. …it’s so gross. You’re already putting yourself out there. You’re already making yourself so vulnerable. …I don’t know why people want to take my naked body and make fun of me.” (Topic begins at 1:00:00) Brianna Chickenfry hits back at Trisha Paytas after Barstool backlash It looks like word got back to Brianna Chickenfry, who spoke out about the issue in a now-deleted TikTok video, calling the situation “weird.” In the clip, Brianna clarified that she’d already been through this rigmarole before when it occurred in 2019, and claimed that she had no idea she was being recorded. “She made up a whole story, pretended she didn’t know who I was. I bought her OnlyFans. Some guy at work came up to me behind my desk and started recording it and f*ckin’ posted it. Not her OnlyFans — of me watching it. At Barstool.” “I didn’t know he was f*cking recording me,” she continued. “And that was that. I didn’t say anything in the video. She was doing a naked house tour, so it was funny. And it was trending, so that’s why I bought her OnlyFans.” (Swipe right on the Instagram post below to view the now-deleted TikTok clip.) That’s not all; Brianna says she’s still subscribed to Trisha’s OF to this day. At the time of writing, Paytas hasn’t responded to Brianna’s latest video — but we’ll make sure to update you if she does right here on Dexerto.

Brian Shaw reveals why Thor’s livestream deadlift record shouldn’t count – Dexerto
Brian Shaw reveals why Thor’s livestream deadlift record shouldn’t count SHAWSTRENGTH (YouTube)Fellow strongman Brian Shaw has weighed in with his thoughts on why Game of Thrones’ Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson’s 501 kg deadlift world record attempt on May 2 would “open Pandora’s box” in the realm of strength sports. As Hafthor Bjornsson gears up to take Eddie Hall’s 500 kg deadlift world record, many are wondering whether or not the attempt should count as an official world record, given the contrast in circumstances. Essentially, the Icelandic strongman will attempt to lift 501 kg on his own conventional barbell, with his own calibrated plates in the familiar setting of his own gym. And aside from that, the 31-year-old will be able to dictate the amount of rest he gets between his warm-up lifts — a key factor in mitigating the cumulative fatigue that can build. American strongman Robert Oberst edged in with his say during his April 12 YouTube video, by stating that the record should not stand officially since Bjornsson wouldn’t have to deal with the strains of competition — something which Eddie had to deal with when pulling 500 kg. Fellow American Brian Shaw has also expressed his thoughts on the matter, irrespective of the current social media frenzy between The Beast and The Mountain. Shaw, a four-time World’s Strongest Man and widely regarded as the most well-rounded strongman of all-time, compared Hafthor’s deadlift world record attempt to “opening Pandora’s box” and implied that a slew of people may follow in claiming that they have world records in the aftermath. “We can’t allow world records to start happening in people’s gyms,” Shaw stated before going on to say that he doesn’t understand where the sport will go from here, if world records no longer need to be beaten in a competitive environment. Prior to the current global health situation, Hafthor was looking to peak in time for a competition and pull the weight under normal circumstances, but of course, current events have skewed that and an alternate course of action has been taken to accommodate. However, Shaw believes that should Bjornsson pull 501 kg on May 2, it should be dubbed an unofficial world record until it’s repeated in an official strongman competition. African strongman Cheick ‘Iron Biby’ Sanou recently pushed 233.5 kg in a home gym setting, which he hailed as an “unofficial all-time world record” — a feat which he failed to hit at 2018’s Europe’s Strongest Man. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zl15hjZYS/ Alongside The Mountain’s upcoming deadlift world record attempt, Shaw touched on Luke Stoltman’s upcoming log press world record attempt, who will also be attempting this from a home gym. Brian stood firm in his belief that this together with Hafthor’s attempt should not stand as an official world record until repeated at a sanctioned event.

Bretman Rock’s first Twitch stream almost ends in disaster – Dexerto
Bretman Rock’s first Twitch stream almost ends in disaster Twitch: BretmanRockyYouTuber Bretman Rock’s first Twitch stream on his channel almost ended in disaster after champagne exploded everywhere in a game of ‘drunk Among Us’ with a group of popular creators. Bretman Rock is a 22-year-old beauty influencer with over 8 million subscribers on YouTube. He’s gone viral countless times in the past thanks to his hilarious personality, including for lipsyncing to his niece’s crying with bizarre accuracy. Amid the Among Us hype that started in 2020, Bretman has joined popular streamers like Valkyrae and Corpse Husband in games that proved to be very entertaining for viewers. But this time, he decided to set up his own Twitch channel and go live for the first time. The YouTuber participated in a ‘drunk Among Us’ game with creators like Corpse Husband, Sykkuno, and more, and the premise of the stream is exactly what it says on the tin – drinking while playing Among Us. However, the stream almost ended before it had even begun after opening the bottle of champagne he’d bought to celebrate his first stream went awry. He took his time peeling off the wrapper as he chatted away to his viewers, but before he could stop it the cork suddenly exploded from the bottle, causing champagne to spray upwards in a fountain. Bretman let out a gargled scream, before trying to put his mouth over the bottle to prevent it from all going to waste on the floor, and stop anymore liquid from leaving the bottle. Warning: Loud He immediately turned to his viewers and said, “what the f**k?” looking shocked at the abrupt turn of events. The situation did have its upsides, though, as the YouTuber quickly realized he’d be able to test out his ‘be right back screen’ while he went to get some paper towels to clear up the mess. Thankfully the champagne wasn’t aimed at his streaming setup, as that would have ended the stream right then and there. Instead, Bretman was able to carry on the stream as normal and definitely seemed to entertain existing fans and new viewers on his brand new Twitch channel.

Bretman Rock responds to hate after collaborating with James Charles – Dexerto
Bretman Rock responds to hate after collaborating with James Charles James Charles, Bretman Rock – InstagramYouTube star James Charles may be one of the net’s most popular makeup moguls, but some critics aren’t happy about his collaboration with fellow beauty guru Bretman Rock. James Charles is a huge name in the online entertainment industry, best known for his popular makeup-inspired videos and collaborations with massive brands like Morphe. However, 2019 drama between the star and his mentor, Tati Westbrook, saw public sentiment turn against him, with Westbrook claiming that he’d used his fame to manipulate the sexuality of straight men. While Charles promptly debunked these allegations and reclaimed his fanbase of 16 million subscribers, he continues to boast a horde of dedicated critics, who have even faked messages from the YouTuber on dating apps like Tinder. These critics spoke out en masse after Charles collaborated on two separate videos with fellow beauty tuber Bretman Rock in late February, with many openly stating their distaste for the YouTuber via Twitter. In fact, the comments were so different from that of Charles’ own community that Rock spoke out on the matter in a pointed Tweet, attached with screenshots of the negative feedback regarding their collab. “First screen shot is from my post and second is from James’ post,” Rock wrote. “Look at the difference in the energy… there’s so much hate comming from people who support me and I’m so disappointed, I understand and respect you guys’ opinions, but just don’t watch it, simple.” First screen shot is from my post and second is from James post.. Look at the difference in the energy… there’s so much hate comming from people who support me and I’m so disappointed, I understand and respect you guys opinions but just don’t watch it simple pic.twitter.com/DKNgwHZIS9 — Bretman Rock Pascual (@bretmanrock) February 28, 2020 Despite his good intentions, it doesn’t look like critics are taking his feelings into consideration, with some taking the chance to explain their distaste for Charles. “…A lot of people who didn’t like James or were fed up unsubscribed and subscribed to you after countless scandals,” one user wrote. “How can you expect those same people to support a collab when they moved over to your channel to stay away from that?” You have two different fan bases Bretman. A lot of people who didn’t like James or were fed up unsubscribed and subscribed to you after countless scandals. How can you expect those same people to support a collab when they moved over to your channel to stay away from that. — Thicc-Fil-A (@KingBunnyNoodle) February 28, 2020 “Sorry, we just see how good of a person you are compared to James Charles,” another commented. “He doesn’t deserve to be your friend.” sorry we just see how good of a person you’re compared to james charles, he doesn’t deserve to be your friend ???? — Manu? (@ManoelaFinotti) February 28, 2020 While Charles himself has yet to directly comment on the subject, he retweeted Rock’s post, which likewise saw some support from fans of the duo. For now, it looks like Charles’ past drama has yet to fully escape him, despite seemingly putting the matter to bed last year.

Bretman Rock gets revenge on his spying neighbors by flashing CCTV – Dexerto
Bretman Rock gets revenge on his spying neighbors by flashing CCTV TikTok: Bretman Rock/ Instagram: Bretman RockBeauty influencer Bretman Rock filmed himself flashing his neighbors’ CCTV cameras after he discovered that they’d been spying into his home. Bretman is a huge social media personality and beauty influencer with more than 7 million subscribers on YouTube and 14.8 million Instagram followers. The star has collaborated with other beauty vloggers including James Charles. In a video he posted to TikTok, Bretman revealed that his neighbors had installed security cameras that pointed into his home. “As you guys know my neighbor hates me…and I don’t know why she hates me,” he said. “So I found out a couple of months ago that this b*tch had cameras pointed in my room. I can’t help but wonder like does this b*tch think I’m gonna do something? Cause now I am b*tch.” In an unapologetic display of revenge, he donned a fur coat, twerked, danced, and eventually stripped in front of the cameras facing his backyard. Tiktokkers in the comments praised Bretman’s daring attitude; Perez Hilton commented “You Icon!!!!”. On Instagram, the video has already been viewed 2 million times, and several influencers had words of encouragement including Lindsey Pelas and Dinah Jane. Bretman has previously confessed to his followers that he doesn’t feel safe in his neighborhood, and that is being bullied. He said about his neighbor that “They literally looked me in the eye and said how can you afford to live here? And she literally said in her own words you don’t belong in this neighborhood.” He also revealed that the neighbors called the police on his birthday. https://twitter.com/AnotherUAAPFan/status/1283671250926211073?s=20 Bretman explained that he needed cameras installed outside his house for his own security after fans would come and ring his doorbell uninvited. He said that he couldn’t install the cameras until he had signatures from his neighbors on both sides of his house, but one neighbor had refused to sign it because of his sexuality. He said that someone even took his pride flag down from in front of his house. Thankfully Bretman does not plan on staying in the neighborhood and will move out soon. But in the meantime, it looks like he’s getting his own back.

Bretman Rock explains why he won’t reveal boyfriend’s identity – Dexerto
Bretman Rock explains why he won’t reveal boyfriend’s identity Bretman Rock, YouTubePopular YouTuber and beauty guru Bretman Rock unexpectedly introduced his new boyfriend to the world in a video on April 13 — but it doesn’t look like fans will be getting a glimpse at his face anytime soon. It’s always a big moment when YouTubers finally reveal their significant others, as in the case of YouTuber Jaclyn Hill, who finally showcased her beau in a tell-all Q & A video earlier this month. In a similar fashion, fans were floored to find that Bretman Rock officially featured his new amore in a challenge video just a week later — but the makeup mogul didn’t exactly spill all the beans. Rather than putting a face and a name to the mysterious man (who he’s been dating for a year now), Rock’s boyfriend appeared just out of frame of the camera, with only his hands and arms showing as he tried his skills at doing the YouTube star’s makeup. Rock explained the odd situation during the video, clarifying that he had no interest in showing off his boyfriend on social media, who doesn’t have any accounts, anyway. “Let me tell you, social media is not the motherf**king way,” he announced. “…he doesn’t care for social media, which I f**king love!” “I just don’t believe that’s one of the things that makes a relationship,” his boyfriend chimed in. “It never has been, in the first place.” “Something I always told him from the get go was, ‘You’re not dating Bretman Rock. You’re dating Bretman,’” he continued. “…it is an extension of me.” “It is weird, but at the same time, it works for us,” he added. “He just gets it. Like, this is my work, this is my job. This is not who I am. This is not who he’s dating.” (Topic begins at 5:44 for mobile readers) With Bretman’s boo eschewing social media due to his distaste for the internet, it looks like their relationship will be remaining private for as long as they choose — a luxury that many celebrities have failed to keep behind closed doors, as in the case of Logan Paul getting caught out with model Josie Canseco.

Bretman Rock begs fans to stop showing up to his house – Dexerto
Bretman Rock begs fans to stop showing up to his house YouTube: Bretman RockPopular YouTuber and beauty guru Bretman Rock has begged fans to stop turning up at his home and asking for photographs – claiming that he is willing to get the police involved if it continues. With the beauty and fashion side of YouTube exploding in popularity in recent years, Bretman Rock has vaulted to the forefront – amassing over six million subscribers on his channel, with a further 4.6 million and 14.5 million across Twitter and Instagram respectively. That popularity hasn’t been completely positive for the Philippines-born YouTube star though. Back in November, he had to beg fans to stop showing up at his late father’s funeral as many were taking pictures of his family and his father – as well as asking him for photos while he was clearly emotional. Yet, he has had to issue a similar warning only a few months later. The beauty YouTuber revealed that fans had been turning up to his home and asking for photos – with some taking it too far by asking his boyfriend if he is home and even leaving notes on his car. “Please do not show up at my house and ask me for a picture, especially during this time when everybody is supposed to be motherf**king staying home,” Rock said in an Instagram story post. “Can y’all not do that, please, because next time I really will be calling the motherf**king cops.” Timestamp for mobile viewers of 8:30 Bretman added that people turning up at his home was making him “mad” and, again, pleaded with fans to not turn up and invade his privacy – noting that he, himself, wouldn’t do the same thing to someone he was a fan of. However, he didn’t rule out socializing with fans altogether. The beauty influencer further noted that it’s fine for fans to come up to him in public – whether it is for a quick hello, a hug, a photo, or anything else – but not his home.

Brent Rivera apologizes after confrontation with YouTuber over “fake” pranks in viral video – Dexerto
Brent Rivera apologizes after confrontation with YouTuber over “fake” pranks in viral video YouTube: Tyler Oliveira / TikTok: Brent RiveraYouTuber and TikTok star Brent Rivera has issued an apology to fans after being confronted by influencer Tyler Oliveira at a hotel, who accused him of “faking” his prank videos. Brent Rivera is a hugely popular figure on YouTube, where he boasts over 25 million subscribers. Similarly, he’s also garnered a massive fanbase on TikTok, where he’s raked in over 46 million followers. Rivera’s videos mostly center around pranks and over-the-top challenges, such as spending the night in the “world’s weirdest hotels” or pranking his friends with a “fake muscle suit” by pretending he suddenly got shredded in the gym. Despite his impressive viewership, not everyone is a fan of Rivera’s content. In February 2022, Rivera was confronted by fellow YouTuber Tyler Oliveira, who approached him and his buddies while they were staying at the Stanley Hotel, famous for inspiring Steven King’s horror novel ‘The Shining’ (and its movie adaptation). Brent Rivera confronted by YouTuber over “faked” videos Oliveira uploaded their confrontation to YouTube, which has racked up nearly 1 million views in about ten days. At the very beginning of the video, he walked out of his room to see two women from Rivera’s team dressed up as twin girls from The Shining, who explained that they were pulling a prank on their friends for a video. After introducing himself to Rivera and his group, he then accused the YouTuber of faking his videos and “stealing everyone’s ideas,” and clashed with the team several times despite Rivera’s protests. At one point, Rivera told Oliveira to “have fun with your 100 subscribers,” prompting a few comments from Oliveira about Rivera’s attitude as a high-profile creator. Eventually, hotel security got involved due to complaints of “harassment” from Rivera and his friends. When Oliveira stepped outside his room after the initial confrontation, he once again verbally clashed with Rivera and co., resulting in security telling him to leave the premises and even getting local law enforcement involved. Brent Rivera speaks out after viral confrontation over “faked” videos Several days later, Rivera told his side of the story on TikTok, claiming that the hotel had “chosen to call the police” to de-escalate matters and claiming that he “wasn’t proud” of how he reacted to the situation. “As the night went on, he continued to approach us with his camera, saying awful things about me, my friends, and my sister to try and get a rise out of me for his video,” Rivera explained. “At a certain point, it bubbled up so much that I did what he wanted. I stooped down to his level and I said something I should not have said.” “His actions toward us and other guests on the tour caused the hotel staff, not me, to call security,” he continued. “He was warned several times by the hotel staff to not only leave us, but other guests and hotel staff alone.” Thus far, both Rivera’s and Oliveira’s fanbases have been supportive of their favorite creators, and neither creator has spoken out about the situation further since then (although Oliveira took a few more shots at Rivera in his most recent video).

TikTok stars Brent & Lexi Rivera mindblown by custom ZHC iPad Pro mural – Dexerto
TikTok stars Brent & Lexi Rivera mindblown by custom ZHC iPad Pro mural Instagram: zhcomicart[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Zachary ‘ZHC’ Hsieh has become known for his crazy artistic designs on expensive products, gifting his friends cars, clothes and gadgets with their own unique twists. This time, he’s created something incredible for Brent Rivera. We’ve seen Addison Rae be stunned by a custom Louis Vuitton bag from the artistic YouTuber and MrBeast blown away by a uniquely-customized iPhone 11. Ever-generous, though, ZHC turned his attention to massive TikTok and YouTube star Brent Rivera, as well as his friends, with an insane iPad Pro mural. You might be wondering what exactly an iPad Pro mural entails, but we can guarantee it’s even more impressive than what you think it might be. Rather than simply creating a unique design for Rivera and each of his group of friends, ZHC made them all a custom iPad Pro, but designed them so that they could link up and create one long, impressive painting. They kick off the design by drawing a ribbon interlinking all five iPads, forming the foundation of each design. Then, they add some personal touches, such as the seemingly ever-present donut drips, bright colors and space themes that ZHC loves to draw, as well as sneaking the stars’ faces onto animal bodies, such as a lizard or Kermit the Frog. As you can see, Brent and his crew – sister Lexi, Ben Azelart, Jeremy Hutchins and Lexi Hensler – couldn’t believe what they were seeing when Zach handed them the gifts. Their minds were blown even further when the iPads were pushed together to reveal the mural, and you can see why – the finished product really was incredible. ZHC always manages to keep his gifts looking fresh and new, and to say we’re jealous of all the lucky stars who get gifted his designs is a massive understatement.

Brendan Schaub says he would “beat the sh*t” out of Joe Rogan in an MMA fight – Dexerto
Brendan Schaub says he would “beat the sh*t” out of Joe Rogan in an MMA fight Associated PressFormer MMA star Brendan Schaub says UFC commentator Joe Rogan is a “monster” but he would still “beat the sh*t” out of him in a fight. Schaub is a former UFC heavyweight contender who finished runner-up to Roy Nelson on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter. He found relative success in the UFC, beginning his career with a 4-1 record before dropping four of his next six. Schaub was out of the business by 2014. In his post-MMA career, Schaub has been a frequent guest on the Joe Rogan Experience — a wildly popular podcast hosted by Rogan himself. The two men have struck up a friendship as a result. Rogan is also a fixture in the UFC as a cage-side commentator, with his voice accompanying many of the greatest moments in the sport’s history. According to Schaub, Rogan can do more than just talk about mixed martial arts. He has immense lower-body strength and an extensive background in jiu-jitsu. “Can Joe kick? Absolutely,” Schaub said. “For a guy who’s never competed professionally, he can kick like a motherf*cker. (Relevant conversation begins at 9:35 and ends at 10:10) “If you put him against any celebrity out there, he’s going to beat the sh*t out of them. [He’s a] blackbelt in jiu-jitsu. In that civilian aspect, [he’s a] monster.” After giving Rogan his flowers, Schaub explained why, even though the 56-year-old is a “monster,” it’s not the same as being a UFC fighter. “You gotta realize, though. I was ranked in the top ten in the world. So, it’s just different. I would beat the sh*t out of [Rogan].” One look at their builds highlights the mismatch physically. Rogan and his five-foot-six, 200-pound frame wouldn’t stand much chance against the six-foot-four, 245-pound Schaub inside the octagon. Still, given Schaub’s high praise toward Rogan’s mixed martial arts ability, he’s not someone to pick a fight with.

Brendan Schaub questions why Jake Paul hasn’t signed to UFC yet – Dexerto
Brendan Schaub questions why Jake Paul hasn’t signed to UFC yet YouTube: Jake Paul/Brendan SchaubFormer UFC fighter Brendan Schaub believes a fight between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor will happen before long, and he’s questioned why the UFC hasn’t signed Jake up yet. To this point, Jake Paul has made plenty of waves in the boxing world, and he’s admitted to having an eye on mixing it up in the UFC as well before long. The 24-year-old, who has an amateur wrestling background, has already beaten former UFC champion Tyron Woodley twice under boxing rules, and believes he can beat Conor McGregor in the cage with ease as well. Many pundits have poured cold water on the prospect of a fight between the two, mainly because of the size difference between them, and how easily Conor would likely win under MMA rules. Though, Brendan Schaub believes the UFC should be jumping all over the fight. The former UFC fighter turned podcaster was asked for his thoughts on Jake’s repeated callouts of Conor during episode 280 of The Schaub Show, and he questioned why the UFC hasn’t signed Jake up just yet. “If I’m the UFC, hey man, this is happening regardless, why not get a piece of the pie? Why not get involved in this piece of the pie? That pie is getting made whether it’s in a year from now or two years, that pie is in the oven dude,” Schaub said about a fight Jake and Conor. “I don’t know what the hesitation is. I would say that Jake Paul is more suited to compete in the UFC than f**king CM Punk. He has professional fights. Again, UFC, Conor is going to make all the money in the world, Jake is going to make all the money in the world. Its happening, play ball with this kid. I know you don’t like him or whatever, but play ball with him.” Timestamp of 1:01:44 Schaub highlighted Jake’s repeated support for increasing fighter pay and healthcare benefits as a potential roadblock for why the UFC hasn’t signed him up, but believes that could change. Ultimately, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Jake is scheduled to return to the boxing ring in August, but after that, who knows.

Brendan Schaub Explains Why the UFC Can Learn from the KSI vs Logan Fight – Dexerto
Brendan Schaub Explains Why the UFC Can Learn from the KSI vs Logan Fight Below the Belt – ShowtimeComedian and mixed martial artist Brendan Schaub believes that the UFC should take notes from KSI and Logan Paul’s widely-streamed match. Brendan Schaub sat down on Showtime’s Below the Belt to discuss one of the most-streamed live events to date. Brendan noted that many hard-core members of the fighting scene are critical of the KSI vs Logan Paul fight, critiquing their form, jabs, and footwork. However, Brendan feels differently about the match, considering its implications from a business-minded perspective. Brendan was floored at the YouTubers’ ability to bring in such a massive audience for their boxing match. “I break it down from a business aspect, of how these two personalities from YouTube were able to capture an audience, establish a legit build-up to a fight, very similar to what the UFC and boxing does… to see what they were having to do with zero background and getting the magnitude of viewers and interest from their audience.” More: KEEMSTAR Calls Out FouseyTube for Failing to Fulfil a Promise Made During ‘July 15th’ Documentary – Brendan felt that the YouTubers’ ability to promote the match and gain such a wide audience brought the UFC to shame. “For these two guys with zero background to shit on any UFC fight this year numbers-wise shows you how poorly of a job the UFC is doing at times and how easy it is to promote a fight.” Brendan challenged those looking to hate on the match, holding that the event was no different than regular UFC grudge matches. He even cited similarities between CM Punk and Logan Paul, stating that Logan Paul had more of an athletic background that CM Punk himself in high school sports. He also speculated that the UFC might even look into Paul as a future athlete. The KSI vs Logan Paul event churned out over two million collective views, with over 800,000 eyes from YouTube’s pay-per-view channel and 1.2 million through Twitch. Now, the YouTube livestream has over 5 million views and counting.

Brendan Schaub explains why Logan Paul should be afraid of Antonio Brown – Dexerto
Brendan Schaub explains why Logan Paul should be afraid of Antonio Brown Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub has given his opinion on Logan Paul’s potential fight against NFL star Antonio Brown, and he is a little concerned about his chance against the “freak athlete.” In his post-UFC career, Schaub currently hosts talk show The Fighter and the Kid, where he weighs in on topics surrounding the world of mixed martial arts and combat sports in general. He has appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast in the past, and has now given his opinion on “good friend” Logan’s chances against the former Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots wide receiver, with the two beefing online. Speaking with co-host and actor/comedian Bryan Callen, the two are asked for their opinions on the ongoing beef between the stars and had to be painfully honest in their responses. “He doesn’t know how much of a freak athlete Antonio Brown is,” Schaub says when asked for his opinion. “0.00001% of all football players make it to the NFL, and even less become Hall of Famers. That’s Antonio Brown.” He went on to say that it’s “like aliens,” implying that to have made a career as an athlete Brown must be something beyond human. He went on to say that this is where “the lines get a little blurred.” He said: “when you’re fighting other YouTubers, that makes sense. You’re fighting an amateur fighter, alright, whatever. But when you start calling out real athletes, it gets a little funky.” It’s hard to disagree with Schaub, in that while Logan Paul is, of course, a respectable and accomplished athlete in his own right, Antonio Brown really is in the minority of people that could be considered a “freak athlete.” With any fight between the two yet to be confirmed, all of this could simply be speculation. But, with Logan Paul’s mainstream pull, it would be no surprise if we one day see these two square off in the ring.

Brendan Schaub explains why Jake Paul needs to fight Anderson Silva in boxing return – Dexerto
Brendan Schaub explains why Jake Paul needs to fight Anderson Silva in boxing return YouTube: Schaub Show/Jake PaulFormer UFC contender Brendan Schaub believes Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva is the fight to make for the YouTuber’s return as it’ll earn him more respect with his fellow fighters. After taking a short break from in-ring action, Jake Paul is strapping on the gloves and returning to boxing in August against a yet-to-be-named opponent. Plenty of rumors have swirled about who Jake may be facing, with one of the interesting being Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva. The former UFC champion has moved into boxing in recent months, beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on his way to picking up a 3-1 record. While Jake was against the fight at first, he’s softened his stance somewhat, and the Brazillian is open to fighting the YouTuber-turned-boxer. On top of that Brendan Schaub believes that if Jake wants the respect of his peers, it’s the fight for him to take next. Brendan touched on the possibility of a Jake vs Anderson fight during episode 286 of The Schaub Show, noting that he’s urged the YouTuber to call out ‘The Spider’ before. “I told him, you going after Bisping is a bad look, he has one eye. He’s an analyst now. I know you want a former champion but that’s a bad look. If you want the respect, even though you’re probably going to lose, you’re going to get so much more respect calling out Anderson Silva,” he said. The former UFC contender noted that Silva is currently active in boxing, which gives him a leg up, and has proven himself in the ring by defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, which would ultimately help Jake’s case if he could beat ‘The Spider’. “Go for him, you might lose, but it’s worth it dude. If you just have a good showing, you’re going to get all the respect. In the MMA community, you beat Anderson Silva, I have no criticism.” Timestamp of 1:30:00 Schaub further noted that while Jake wants to fight a ‘real boxer’, Anderson would tick that box more than Tommy Fury, seeing as Fury is yet to accomplish much in the ring. “If you’re Jake, you can knock out Tommy Fury, that’s not going to get respect,” he continued. “Most people, including myself, only know him from Love Island. He’s a reality show star, his brother just happens to be the best heavyweight of all time.” As noted, nobody knows who Jake will be fighting in August, but there are plenty of interesting options out there.

Breckie Hill stunned as N3on reveals he “made sure to spread” her leaked shower video – Dexerto
Breckie Hill stunned as N3on reveals he “made sure to spread” her leaked shower video N3on Live/YouTubeKick streamer and YouTuber N3on revealed in a conversation with Breckie Hill that he’d seen her leaked shower video and that he’d even “made sure to spread it.” Kick streamer and YouTuber N3on has been a topic of conversation a lot recently. From threatening to quit the internet after being robbed to asking Charlie D’Amelio if she’s single in front of her boyfriend Landon Barker, you never know what you’ll get from one of his streams. On September 23, N3on was streaming from a party in LA when a surprise guest made an appearance. TikTok star Breckie Hill appeared to say hi, and N3on wasted no time as he made sure to ask her about her leaked shower video and nudes, which she has been trying to get taken down since March. Breckie was taken by surprise when he changed the subject and got even more shocked when he said he’d “made sure to spread” the video as much as he could. N3on reveals he “made sure to spread” Breckie’s leaked shower video After having talked about Breckie’s current relationship with her boyfriend, N3on decided to change the conversation. “I saw your leaks,” N3on told Breckie. “Why are you bringing that up?” Breckie asked with a slight hint of shock in her tone. “I mean, I just speak my mind, you know? I like what I saw,” N3on replied. Still slightly shocked by the new conversation topic, Breckie asked where he’d found them and what he’d seen. “I’m in all the Reddits and Discords, so I saw it there,” N3on revealed. “Oh, so you’re in my Reddit and my Discord?” Breckie asked. “I’m in your Reddit, Discord, Twitch communities – I’ve seen it everywhere,” N3on said. “I mean, I’m trying to get them taken down, but…” Breckie started before N3on said: “Yeah, no I made sure to spread it everywhere.” “Thank you so much,” Breckie replied sarcastically. N3on asks Breckie if she leaked her own nudes N3on quickly panicked as he asked Breckie how old she was and how old she’d been in the leaked photos. “Which ones? They’re like hundreds,” Breckie replied. “You didn’t leak them yourself?” N3on asked. Breckie replied: “No, people thought that. Why would I leak that myself? My Snapchat got hacked and all my sh*t got leaked, like my number and everything. Why would I leak that myself? Nah I wouldn’t.” In August 2023, Breckie appeared on the One Night with Steiny podcast where she opened up about her leaked shower video. She claimed her ex-boyfriend leaked the video because he was upset that they broke up. Before this, she revealed somebody hacked her Snapchat and put out hundreds of private pictures online. After realizing her Snapchat had been hacked, Breckie made a TikTok for the hacker where she urged the person to not leak her memories on the app.

Breckie Hill in tears after Rachel Brockman allegedly slaps her during Clix stream – Dexerto
Breckie Hill in tears after Rachel Brockman allegedly slaps her during Clix stream Instagram: breckiehillTikTok star Breckie Hill was left in tears after allegedly getting slapped by bestie Rachel Brockman during a tense stream on Fortnite pro Clix’s Twitch channel. Breckie Hill has recently catapulted to online stardom, thanks to her resemblance to viral gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne. Boasting over 1.7 million followers on TikTok and over 500,000 on Instagram, Breckie has been rubbing elbows with other big creators on the internet as of late — including Fortnite pro Clix. Breckie appeared on Clix’s live stream on March 9 alongside best friend Rachel Brockman. Apparently, Clix and Breckie have been beefing for a little while, and the two decided to squash their feud in front of Clix’s followers. Breckie Hill allegedly slapped by Rachel Brockman during Clix stream However, what followed was anything but a peaceful conflict resolution. Just after Breckie and Clix laid their differences to rest, people could be heard arguing somewhere off-camera. Breckie later came back into frame saying she was “so mad” and “didn’t do sh*t.” Later, Clix appeared to explain the situation, saying that “Breckie just got f*cking like, kicked out of the car, got called a b*tch, and slapped.” Hill later took to TikTok, where she went live to explain her side of the story. According to her, the feud started when Breckie had allowed Clix to write his Fortnite creator code on her decolletage. Initially, the streamer had asked to write it on Breckie and Rachel’s foreheads — something that can be seen in the stream VOD. “Rachel looked at me with the most disgusted look ever,” Breckie claimed. “Right after we left, she goes, ‘Breckie, you’re a f*cking b*tch. You’re not coming in the car with us.’ Clix heard it and he was like, ‘Come back in.’ They ended up coming back to get me. Rachel was like, ‘You can pack your bags and leave.’” Fans are speculating that Brockman has been crushing on Clix for some time — so, after her best friend seemed to flirt with the object of her affections, things turned sour. Thus far, it doesn’t look like Rachel or Breckie have spoken out further about the situation. This is just the latest confrontation to happen for Breckie Hill after she threw shade at Livvy Dunne, notably calling gymnast a “b*tch” during a YouTube video with another creator.

Breckie Hill claims her ex-boyfriend leaked shower video – Dexerto
Breckie Hill claims her ex-boyfriend leaked shower video YouTube: One Night with Steiny/ TikTok: breckiehillTikToker Breckie Hill went viral after alleging her ex-boyfriend leaked a shower video after a clip surfaced, and has since been spread online. Breckie Hill is a popular content creator on TikTok, who is known for her viral lip-sync videos and trending dance content. She has gained over three million followers on the platform, and is still growing rapidly. However, she has also faced controversy in clashes with fellow internet stars like Livvy Dunn and N3on. Breckie Hill also had a leaked “shower video” which surfaced online. She addressed it on a podcast, claiming that it was published and shared without her consent. Breckie Hill explains leaked shower video While appearing on the One Night with Steiny podcast, Breckie talked about her leaked video. She claimed her ex-boyfriend put it out the video because he was upset that they broke up arguing. Before this, she revealed somebody hacked her Snapchat and put out hundreds of pictures online. Topic starts at 2:55 “There was a video of me that was leaked, and like, my ex-boyfriend did it. Because I broke up with him,” she explained. Breckie added that she has not spoken to her ex-boyfriend and that he is only in touch with her mother as she is taking him to court. Breckie previously posted a TikTok of herself with the caption “best day ever” in April as the video text read, “When I get the shower video taken down from every single site on the internet” while dancing in the background. The TikTok has since been deleted. However, she shared in one of her TikToks that she was planning on posting one of her own shower videos while asking followers what they think about the idea. Responding to a comment that said she got leaked again, she made a TikTok with the text, “After three days of crying, I realized I’m not gonna let some guy who hacked my Snapchat ruin my life. Hopefully, this third time is the last.” After realizing her Snapchat had been hacked, she made a TikTok for the hacker where she urged the person to not leak her memories on the app.

Breckie Hill clashes with N3on after streamer claims she has “peanut brains” N3on / KickKick streamer N3on went on a furious rant, where he expressed his opinions surrounding Breckie Hill’s OnlyFans career, as the two argued on stream. Kick streamer N3on and OnlyFans model Breckie Hill was previously involved in a dispute while broadcasting live after he said he “made sure to spread” her leaked shower video. Now, just a few days later, he has streamed with her again, as well as fellow model and TikToker Ski Bri and regular collaborator Sneako.

At one point, he even accidentally knocked Ski Bri over, but it didn’t stop there. N3on argues with OnlyFans model Breckie Hill again The two clashed yet again, where this time he made further comments that were directly towards Breckie Hill and her involvement with OnlyFans. “I swear to god, blond girls have f**king peanut brains. Is there anything in this head? Is there anything?” N3on said as he pointed towards the model’s head. “I had a 4.0 GPA in high school and was accepted into a college with a 19% acceptance rate,” Hill responded. “Now you post your t**s on OnlyFans. What the f**k happened? You want to go there?” He went on to say. “I’m not smart. And, I know a lot of my followers think I’m not, but, they don’t know, like, actually how I was. I understand the whole stigma around OnlyFans,” she explained. “It’s f**ked! It’s okay, you know. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. I respect it. Oh, she’s about to cry. Oh s**t, I f**ked up! I’m done. I’m sorry,” the streamer responded. Fellow Kick streamer Adin Ross, has also revealed he takes a large pay cut from N3on’s streaming revenue.

Breaking Bad’s Dean Norris surprises Forsen with bizarre message about Obama – Dexerto
Breaking Bad’s Dean Norris surprises Forsen with bizarre message about Obama Twitter/DeanNorris/Twitch/ForsenPopular Twitch streamer Sebastian ‘Forsen’ Fors was in for a shock after Breaking Bad actor Dean Norris sent him a surprise message about former US President Barack Obama. Forsen is one of Twitch’s biggest names and has thousands of fans who watch him stream games and as such, they’re willing to spend big bucks to get his attention. That’s exactly what seemed to happen during a December 14 broadcast when the streamer received a message from Dean Norris – the actor who played DEA agent Hank on Breaking Bad. Like many actors, Norris has a page on the website Cameo, where fans can spend hundreds of dollars for a personalized message and someone did just that with the goal of sending it to Fosen. Forsen speechless by Dean Norris’ shock message to him Right when the video began, Norris kept repeating the name “Forsen” over and over again in a variety of different ways before finally getting to the point. “I just want to tell you this is a certified Forsen-level moment. Okay?” he asked. “And your good friend Obama really needs to pee. So you better finish Terraria soon!” This finally got the Swedish streamer to crack a laugh, still completely bewildered by the video’s existence to begin with. “So finish Terraria, Forsen! Bye!” Norris said to conclude the video, but the Twitch star wasn’t really too thrilled by the end of it. “This hurts my soul, man,” he grimaced before letting out a deep sigh. Unfortunately for Obama, it doesn’t seem like the streamer will be coming to his rescue, so Barack may have to look elsewhere for his bathroom and Terraria needs.

Brazilian Twitch streamer Gaules secures rights to co-stream NBA Playoffs – Dexerto
Brazilian Twitch streamer Gaules secures rights to co-stream NBA Playoffs YouTube, Gaules / NBAOne of Brazil’s biggest Twitch streamers, Gaules, has reportedly secured the rights to co-stream the NBA Playoffs (and over 100 games in the 2021-22 season). This is an interesting development as co-streaming continues to emerge on Twitch. While Twitch might best be known for its gaming content, the live-streaming platform has continued to expand its repertoire. In recent years, “Just Chatting” content (including the “Hot Tubs” category) has taken center stage — while traditional sports organizations like the NFL have tested the waters with game broadcasts. Now, the NBA is getting in on the action by allowing Brazilian streamer Gaules to co-stream Playoff games. In doing so, the basketball league is globalizing its audience and following a key esports trend in the process. Co-streaming has become a popular way to boost viewership and expand audiences recently, most notably seen with Valorant’s VCT Masters. Now, Gaules will be able to do the same with the NBA. https://twitter.com/Gaules/status/1399433067442417677 As shared on YouTube, Gaules and the NBA have partnered to allow the Brazilian streamer to co-stream playoff matches starting on June 2. Additionally, he has already earned the ability to broadcast another 100-plus matches next season. Already a global sport, this move allows the NBA to continue growing its popularity internationally while tapping into a younger market. Simultaneously, it allows Twitch to expand the versatility of their portfolio and cement the value of co-streaming. Chegou a hora da Grande Final Melhor de 5 Quem vai levar o #VALORANTMasters ?? Vem pra tribonera: https://t.co/z1lmpBlzvS pic.twitter.com/1VJfyU91E5— Gaules (@Gaules) May 30, 2021 Gaules is already known for co-streaming esports like Valorant Masters. And the practice has already become so popular that 100 Thieves’ Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag dropped his Twitch partnership in order to co-stream CDL matches (which are exclusive to YouTube). With 2.7 million followers on Twitch, Gaules has a huge platform and that’s precisely what the NBA is hoping to tap into. It remains unclear if there will be any regional restrictions set in place, as details of the NBA’s broadcast partnerships most certainly differ between international markets like North America and South America. Additionally, the partnership seems to be between Gaules, the NBA, and Budweiser. No word yet on whether Twitch is allowed to do beer giveaways, though.

Brazilian Twitch streamer Casimiro quickly unbanned after showing Europa League final – Dexerto
Brazilian Twitch streamer Casimiro quickly unbanned after showing Europa League final Instagram: CasimiroPopular Brazilian Twitch streamer Casimiro has been quickly unbanned after being hit with a 48-hour suspension for showing the Europa League final highlights. As large broadcasting corporations continue to improve their methods of taking down livestreams that are breaching DMCA rules, Brazilian streamer Casimiro with over 2.4M followers was banned from Twitch for showing the best moments of the Europa League final. Reminiscent of xQc’s ban for rebroadcasting the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, the 28-year-old Brazilian revealed he was given a 48-hour suspension from the Amazon-owned platform. However, in a shocking turn of events, Casimiro was quickly unbanned from Twitch just a couple of hours later. During the early morning of May 19, Casimiro explained on Twitter in a translated tweet that he was given a 48-hour ban for watching the notable European football competition, but was working on getting back as soon as possible. “Well guys, I got a 48-hour ban for posting the best moments of the Europa League final,” he explained. “We’re what we can do to get back as soon as possible, okay? Any news I’ll let you know here.” Bom galera, tomei ban de 48H por colocar os melhores momentos da final da Europa League. Estamos vendo aqui o que podemos fazer pra voltar o quanto antes, beleza? Qualquer novidade vou avisando vocês aqui, beijinhos! 🫤 — caze (@Casimiro) May 19, 2022 Just a little over three hours later, the streamer was unbanned, with Casimiro adding that “it was the best 3 hours, 27 minutes, and 13 seconds of my life.” Fans of Casimiro were shocked that the expected two-day suspension only lasted a few hours. “The shortest vacation on Twitch,” said one. “The guy is so strong that he bypassed a Twitch ban made by UEFA in 3 hours. The man has contacts,” another replied. Typically, streamers have to wait out the entirety of their ban, which makes this situation pretty bizarre to say the least.

Brazilian Twitch streamer banned for showing Pink Floyd poster – Dexerto
Brazilian Twitch streamer banned for showing Pink Floyd poster gabepiexe, Instagram / FreepikAs one of the most popular live-streaming platforms, Twitch boasts a wide variety of content creators, from IRL streamers to pro gamers and more. Sometimes, these streamers are hit with bans for unexpected reasons that leave them confused, including Gabepeixe’s ban for a seemingly innocent Pink Floyd poster. Brazilian streamer Gabriel “Gabepeixe” Baptista announced that he received a three-day ban from the site in a Tweet on September 23. According to Baptista, he was suspended from the platform due to showing the album cover for Pink Floyd’s “Back Catalogue” – but that’s not the most mind-blowing part of the ban, by far. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_kwibn9Na/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkAs it so happens, the album cover in question wasn’t even his. Rather, Baptista was watching another streamer’s broadcast during his own stream, which contained the album cover in question in view of the camera. However, it wasn’t copyright infringement that resulted in Baptista’s ban: the “Back Catalogue” art features a series of nude women with their backs turned to the camera, with their bodies painted to resemble the band’s other album covers, likely posing a breach of Twitch’s Community Guidelines. In his Tweet, Gabe explained that he’d been banned for showing the album, which appeared on another streamers broadcast. The streamer in questions has been streaming on Twitch for over a year without a ban, with the poster in full view. “…Twitch will [ban] me for three days because of a Pink Floyd album frame, which appeared during a video of a [guy] who has been live on Twitch for one year and never happened,” Twitter’s translation reads. Rapaziada passando pra avisar que a twitch vai me pranchar por 3dias por causa de um QUADRO do album do PINKFLOYD, que apareceu durante um video de um rapaz, sendo que o mesmo faz live na twitch a 1 ano e nunca ocorreu nada, enfim só ãvisando pra vcs e pedindo desculpas… :broken_heart: pic.twitter.com/t5VpDv64Nq — Gabepeixe (@gabepeixe) September 23, 2019 Needless to say, Gabe’s ban sparked outrage across the net, with fans and bystanders alike scratching their heads at what seems to be a wildly confusing suspension. “It’s album art that includes body painting, which is from another channel, but this guy get banned?” one Reddit user wrote of the issue. “What?” Others pointed out that live body painting is allowed while an album containing women wearing body painting warranted a supposed ban – but this wouldn’t be the first time streamers have been suspended for unexpected reasons. unspecified “fraudulent charges” after receiving large donations of bits from viewers using multiple accounts, only receiving automated messages in response to their queries. Thus far, both Twitch and Baptista have yet to expound upon his ban. But with multiple instances of unexpected suspensions for “sexual content” cropping up across the site (such as a cosplayer being banned for wearing a Chun-Li outfit), Twitch is in the public eye for once again for its controversial moderation.

Twitch’s most-watched streamer Gaules unbanned quickly after surprise suspension – Dexerto
Twitch’s most-watched streamer Gaules unbanned quickly after surprise suspension Twitch: GaulesBrazilian streamer Alexandre ‘Gaules’ Borba has been unbanned, after he was hit with a surprise Twitch ban midway through one of his NBA co-streams on November 4. Gaules has become one of the biggest names on Twitch in recent years, boasting just over three million followers on the Amazon-owned platform. Those millions of fans can no longer watch the 37-year-old for the time being, however, after he was hit with a shock Twitch ban on November 4, making his channel unavailable. The reason behind Borba’s Nov. 4 suspension was not confirmed fully, but the Brazilian star was co-streaming NBA games when the ban hit. This suspension is the first time he has been banned on Twitch. Gaules responded to his surprise ban, though his first reply wasn’t a statement; the Twitch star simply shared a classic Brazilian meme. Soon after, Gaules revealed that he had spoken to Twitch admins, and confirmed his stream would more than likely be “back in the next few hours.” The star also locked in his next broadcast: watching FURIA at the PGL Major. F 😭 Jogasso! Acabei terminando de fazer o jogo eu o @VelhoVamp1 e o @llauqS em uma transmissão moral! O canal deve voltar nas próximas horas!! Amanhã estamos ON 10h pro pré jogo da @FURIA Bom descanso Tribo! Amo vcs 💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/iftT74pWns— Gaules (@Gaules) November 5, 2021 Gaules quickly unbanned As he expected, the suspension on his channel was lifted on November 5. He had been banned for just under 10 hours. ✅ Twitch Partner “”Gaules”” (@gaules) has been unbanned after 9 hours, 51 minutes and 25 seconds! ✅https://t.co/Hte0n8G17m#twitch #unban #partner #twitchpartner 🎦 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) November 5, 2021 Gaules has taken Twitch by storm in 2021, building a huge audience to become one of the biggest streamers on the Amazon-owned platform. In October, the Brazilian was the most-watched star on Twitch, dethroning Felix ‘xQc’s Lengyel with 18.1m hours watched compared to the French-Canadian’s 18m. Gaules mainly co-streams CSGO matches, and signed a rich deal with the NBA in May to do the same for basketball games. The 37-year-old currently has more than 60,000 active subscribers. The CSGO personality was caught up in controversy this year after he leveled cheating accusations at 16-year-old pro Leaf, but later apologized for his involvement in the drama. Gaules has been co-streaming CSGO’s PGL Major Stockholm over the past week, mainly focusing on contenders like FURIA and paiN Gaming. With his ban lifted, fans can now look forward to his regular programming returning.

Raulino de Oliveira Maciel, better known online as RaulZito, has hundreds of thousands of followers across Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram, with gaming content the sole focus of his channels. Police say that he used his fame in the gaming world to lure children in, but ultimately targeted users on Instagram, with child actors coming forward as victims.

Allegations against RaulZito According to the police report, the DCAV “arrested a video game YouTuber accused of vulnerable rape against two children.” According to agents, the mother of a victim revealed that her son said he suffered from abuse at the hands of the YouTuber between February and May this year. Another child, under 12 years old, also reported being molested by RaulZito. The cases took place in Niterói, the Metropolitan Region of Rio, and in the municipality of São Caetano do Sul, in São Paulo. The victims, aged between 10 and 14, are child theater, film and TV actors. According to the investigations, the accused gained contact with the children through Instagram and promised access to jobs in his area of expertise, even claiming to be hired by a major TV station. In light of the victims’ reports, the DCAV team asked the court for search and seizure warrants and a temporary arrest warrant, after which he was located and arrested. RaulZito’s team, SBT Games, released a statement following the arrest, saying that RaulZito is no longer a part of the company and that they “awaits the elucidation of the facts and result of the investigation.” Segue Nota Oficial do SBT Games sobre os acontecimentos envolvendo o streamer Raulzito: pic.twitter.com/mwbAKBQAD4 — SBT Games (@SBT_Games) July 27, 2021 Police believe that there are more than just these two victims, too, finalizing their statement by saying that “Investigations continue to identify other victims of the perpetrator.”

Brawl breaks out at Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz press conference – Dexerto
Brawl breaks out at Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz press conference YouTube: Jake Paul, DAZNA slew of security guards got into a scrap at the press conference for Jake Paul and Nate Diaz’s upcoming boxing match after the two fighters exchanged some heated words on stage. Jake Paul is bouncing back from his first-ever loss with a major bout against former UFC star Nate Diaz, who will be making his boxing debut against the YouTuber. The two have had beef for years now, and come August 5, they’ll get the chance to finally sort out their differences in the boxing ring. Of course, the press conference, weigh-ins, and face-offs ahead of the fight have also offered the boxers a chance to hit back at each other — and that’s nearly what happened on their August 3 presser. Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz press conference erupts as security splits fighters The press conference was rife with expletives thrown back and forth between the two fighters as they took questions from the media, but it was during the faceoff that the pair seemed to get into a genuine argument. Although Diaz was loath to pose for a faceoff for very long, the two appeared to get into a heated argument and were separated by a good distance by their security teams. A swath of security guards then followed Nate to stage left — and it was then that a fight broke out between them. One of the guards shoved another one, and before long, a scuffle erupted and a huge group of guards were suddenly engulfed in a mass of bodies and flying limbs. Luckily, the brawl ended shortly thereafter and cameras quickly panned away from the pandemonium. Although it wasn’t Nate or Jake who exchanged blows before fight night, it certainly amped up the energy going into August 5. Jake Paul claims Diaz is trying to sue him over “assault” Jake Paul provided an update to the situation in a series of tweets a few hours later. According to the YouTuber, Diaz’s team sent the MVP team an email, claiming that one of their members was assaulted – despite a member from their camp apparently “swinging first.” “Apparently the guy who swung first is at the hospital getting stitches,” Paul wrote. “Hilarious, these fake gangsters acting like this!” “All out warfare, eye for [an] eye,” Paul wrote in another post. “You threatened MVPs co-founder, who has been a partner to you and your team every step of the way? He’s put your best friend on over and over again. Stupid.” “Then, your team wants to swing on us… so you got served a three-piece and a biscuit. Punk. It’s time for goodnight.” Jake also uploaded a vlog from the press conference, where he reiterated claims that Diaz’s team purportedly “sent lawyers” over email to negotiate with Paul’s team after the brawl. “The guy who swung first on Nate’s team, who initiated the brawl, got pieced up and now has to get stitches and is apparently going to the hospital – and now they’re trying to claim ‘assault,’ over email, involving lawyers.” Paul said in the video. “F*cking p*ssies.” That’s not the only excitement to come out of the broadcast; Jake Paul made sure to call out Diaz to accept his offer for a $10 million MMA match, but it didn’t look like the UFC star was all too keen on that idea. Fans can tune into Paul vs Diaz on August 5. To find out how to watch, check out our hub right here at Dexerto.

Brands are shying away from big YouTubers like Logan Paul, and here’s why – Dexerto
Brands are shying away from big YouTubers like Logan Paul, and here’s why ABC NewsAccording to ‘Influential’ CEO Ryan Detert, brands are seeking smaller influencers to market their products, choosing to shy away from big-name internet celebs like Logan Paul and PewDiePie. In an interview with Wired, Detert revealed that metrics and data suggest that companies should work with multiple, “relevant” influencers to advertise their wares, rather than banking on a single star who could potentially ruin their image (a la Logan Paul’s suicide forest scandal). “…at the same time… brands started asking themselves ‘Why would I pick one big name that’s going to screw me over a few months down the line?’” Detert stated. “It’s now jumped to the point where literally every kind of brand… has embraced the idea of working with more influencers of smaller size.” https://2ctptqj9vf3lafyt2rkh1qto-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/loganpaul-1.jpg Wired went on to state that brands now choose influencers from a series of categories dependant on their following, including macro influencers, micro influencers, and nano influencers. Additionally, ‘Tongal’ president James DeJulio held that using smaller influencers helps promotions to feel more “authentic,” rather than forced. “It’s like buying something from your local hardware store,” DeJulio claimed. https://www.gq.com/story/logan-paul-comeback-video Furthermore, brands have found that working with smaller influencers is generally easier than wrangling big-name stars, according to a source Wired cited as ‘Lennon.’ “Micro influencers are also willing to do more for less and deliver on more of the asks than larger names,” Lennon claimed. While the likes of Logan Paul and PewDiePie continue to flourish despite their past controversies, it looks like brands aren’t willing to shoulder the potential risk, and are moving on to smaller pastures instead.

Bradley Martyn’s landlord allegedly suing star over unpaid utility bills – Dexerto
Bradley Martyn’s landlord allegedly suing star over unpaid utility bills YouTube: The Sync / Instagram: Bradley MartynYouTube star and fitness influencer Bradley Martyn is purportedly being sued by his landlord, who claims the star is behind on paying his rent and utilities for his Zoo Culture gym. On November 20, SteveWillDoIt of Nelk Boys’ fame threw a mock “protest” outside the gym of influencer Bradley Martyn. Among the throng of fans who showed up to the event was Martyn’s alleged landlord, who was interviewed by YouTuber ‘The Sync’ about his thoughts on the sudden crowd outside the establishment. The landlord spilled the proverbial beans, claiming that he would be taking legal action against Martyn for violating the terms of his lease — as well as a purported two year’s worth of unpaid utilities. Bradley Martyn’s landlord allegedly taking influencer to court His landlord claimed that he was taking this route as city ordinances prevent landlords from evicting tenants during the global health crisis, prompting him to sue Martyn over other matters. “He’s my tenant,” he explained. “He hasn’t paid rent or electricity. We’re going to court. We’re getting him not for rent, but for not doing what the lease called for him to be able to do. He hasn’t even talked to his own attorney.” The landlord claimed that the city had turned off Martyn’s electricity, prompting the influencer to grab a few generators before breaking into the building’s maintenance room and destroying the city’s lock to turn his power back on. That’s not all; the property owner also stated that they’d hired five parking attendants to control crowds outside of Martyn’s gym, which cost “twice” the amount of his rent — which also, allegedly, hasn’t been paid. “He’s a very nice guy, he just has no attention span,” the landlord ended his spiel. (Topic begins at 0:21) It’s important to take this interview with a grain of salt, as the entire protest surrounding Martyn’s gym was a joke, and he and SteveWillDoIt are good friends. Martyn has yet to respond to the landlord’s comments at the time of writing.

Stable Ronaldo slapped by Bradley Martyn after provoking him on IRL gym stream – Dexerto
Stable Ronaldo slapped by Bradley Martyn after provoking him on IRL gym stream Twitch: StableRonaldoStable Ronaldo was left stunned in a recent live stream after being slapped across the face by YouTuber and fitness influencer Bradley Martyn. During an IRL broadcast on June 7, the 21-year-old joined Bradley Martyn for a session in the gym, where the streamer took Martyn’s hat straight from his head at one point. Immediately, the YouTuber asked for it back, but Ronaldo initially was reluctant. “Give me my f**king hat,” Martyn demanded before he slapped the FaZe Clan star straight across the face. “Damn, really. Sh*t I didn’t know that was bad. My bad bro like actually,” Ronaldo apologized while holding his face. The streamer quickly told his cameraman to point the camera away, and the microphones were soon cut too. After a few minutes of talking, the two hashed things out and got back to their gym sesh. But Ronaldo couldn’t help but crack a few jokes when the cameras were back on. “Y’all didn’t see it but I slapped him back,” the streamer said, followed by a long awkward silence from everyone in the room. “If we did this outside I would’ve shot you,” he joked. Ronaldo continued to poke fun at Martyn for not rocking him with the slap. However, the YouTuber claims he wasn’t aiming to knock out the youngster, but argued he could if he tried. Later in the stream, the 21-year-old got back at Bradley, who gave him a free shot. But even after slapping the YouTuber across the face, he claims it didn’t make him feel any better given their clear size difference. The two still got a good workout in despite the brief altercation. Speaking about the situation afterward, Ronaldo explained he wished it never happened, admitting the slap hurt.

Bradley Martyn fires back at Logan Paul with own fight offer amid drama – Dexerto
Bradley Martyn fires back at Logan Paul with own fight offer amid drama YouTube: Bradley Martyn/imPaulsiveBradley Martyn has hit back at Logan Paul after the imPaulsive podcast host called him “lame” after saying he wants to see Jake Paul lose to Nate Diaz. When Jake Paul lost to Tommy Fury back in February, it seemed pretty nailed on that the pair would have a rematch this summer. A number of reputable sources even suggested that they were aiming to do it all again in July. Of course, that hasn’t been the case. With July coming to an end, Jake is set to fight Nate Diaz once the calendar turns over into August, and there have been plenty of Jake doubters who are getting behind Nate — one of those being Bradley Martyn. The YouTuber and fitness influencer threw his backing behind Nate after the former UFC star appeared on his podcast, saying he wants to see Jake lose. Though, that set things off between himself and Logan Paul, with the imPaulsive host calling him “lame” and offering to fight. Bradley Martyn hits back at Logan Paul with his own fight offer After Logan blasted Bradley during the July 25 episode of imPaulsive, the fitness influencer took to Twitter to hit back at Jake’s brother – and he even laid out his own challenge for a fight. “Logan Paul talking about clicks n views and I’m lame. This coming from the guy who filmed a dead body for views & all of a sudden I’m reaching for views? The same reason u even call me out is for the same purpose…VIEWS. In your own words…“To promote my fight coming up”. But when I did it in my content I’m lame?” Martyn tweeted. “Also to defend your brother, you’re the guy who at every turn with KSl you don’t have his back and your own brother even feels as though you don’t.. & that’s from his own words, me wanting to see someone get memed and liking someone can both co-exist.” The fitness influencer also urged Logan to come to his gym, but to leave the cameras at home as they settle the score. “Come to my gym no cameras no content..we can just fight in front of zoo culture,” he added. Seeing as Logan is training for a fight – rumored to be against Dillon Danis – it’s unlikely they’ll actually clash in the build-up to that. Though, who knows what could happen after that.

Bradley Martyn clowned on Twitter for “gentrifying” Milk Crate Challenge – Dexerto
Bradley Martyn clowned on Twitter for “gentrifying” Milk Crate Challenge Instagram, @bradleymartyn / Twitter, @BADBADNOTbuenoFitness influencer Bradley Martyn has been absolutely roasted across Twitter for his version of the “Milk Crate Challenge,” as people accuse him of both cheating and gentrifying the viral trend. The Milk Crate Challenge is a relatively simple trend: people stack milk crates (those plastic box things) on grass in a vertically triangular formation and try to ascend and descend them without falling. The premise is simple, but has surprisingly entertaining results. Originally, there was a monetary component — as you could pay $5 to try the challenge and receive a reward of $500 if you did. That sounds like easy money until you see how wobbly those crates become on grass, which is why fail videos went viral instantly. But the successes have gone viral as well and, as some people call him, fitfluencer Bradley Martyn jumped on the trend. Unlike “White Mike” and the high-heel lady though, Martyn’s success has been relentlessly clowned. As you can see from Desus Nice’s quote tweet, Martyn’s version of the challenge has not gone over well. While Desus subtly equates it to Martyn showing up and ruining the vibes of a party, the replies are… less charitable. Some focus on the whitewashed aspect of Martyn’s fancy indoor setting, as someone commented “the cultural appropriation is egregious.” So we cheating now with double wide crates? Smh pic.twitter.com/TkDo7jSjH9 — Alternative Facts (@djgist) August 23, 2021 Others focus on why his version of the challenge doesn’t count, as it’s not only on gym mats instead of rough, uneven grass — but also includes some especially wide, taped-together crates. Compare that with the high-heeled, outdoor version and see which one you find more impressive. In sum, Martyn is getting clowned for two reasons. The first: him doing the challenge in a manicured environment is getting labeled terms like cultural appropriation or gentrification (giving flashbacks to the controversy surrounding Black TikTok creators’ dances being used without credit). Some have even joked that it feels “anti-Black.” The second: that manicured environment ruins the entire point of the challenge. The Milk Crate Challenge is fun because it’s difficult and can be tried in the most available environment: random patchy grass. Read more: Taylor Swift joins TikTok and sends fans wild with first post promoting new album The most famous challenge successes have included a small man with big boots, a guy rolling a blunt, and a girl in high heels. A fitfluencer doing it indoors with special crates and tape… just doesn’t seem to fit the competitive regulations.

Bradley Martyn claims he’s being charged by California for opening gym – Dexerto
Bradley Martyn claims he’s being charged by California for opening gym Bradley Martyn, YouTubeFitness YouTuber Bradley Martyn has revealed that he is seemingly being charged with a misdemeanor by the State of California for keeping his popular Zoo Culture gym open after new restrictions were put in place. Bradley Martyn is well known for his popular fitness-based uploads and challenge videos, amassing a following of over 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube, and is regularly featured in the NELK Boys’ vlogs as well. The YouTuber often films his vlogs and collaborates with other stars at his gym ‘Zoo Culture’ in Los Angeles County but he is now seemingly facing charges for keeping it open amid their latest lockdown. Despite previously staging protests against the major restrictions with NELK star SteveWillDoIt, Bradley Martyn revealed, on October 22, that his gym had now been targeted and shared a brief clip of a court summons on his social media. The fitness star claimed that it was issued by the State of California and shared that he would have to appear at his local courthouse to answer for misdemeanor charges made against Zoo Culture. “People of the state of California VS Zoo Culture welcome to 2020, where gyms being open is criminal in California,” he added, reacting to the Zoo Culture court summons, “[and] where mental and physical health is deemed non-essential,” he followed up, suggesting that facilities such as gyms should be considered an essential service, for improving the health of those who use them.

(Thoughts?) pic.twitter.com/UhHy8obV62 — Bradley Martyn (@BradleyMartyn) October 23, 2020 After asking his fans what they thought of the matter, Martyn received mixed feedback from his followers, as there were some critics claiming that he should’ve simply abided by the restrictions that were imposed. While other fans were in agreeance with the YouTuber, he will still have to answer for the charges and argue his case in court, following his latest actions. The document also revealed that his court date was scheduled for November 23, so it is likely that we will have to wait until after the legal proceedings have concluded before more information is released.

Bradley Martyn new truck gift brings assistant to tears – Dexerto
Bradley Martyn new truck gift brings assistant to tears Life of Bradley Martyn, YouTubeFitness YouTuber Bradley Martyn brought his assistant to tears after surprising him with a brand new Toyota Tacoma truck for his birthday. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] Bradley Martyn has built a following of over 3 million subscribers across his YouTube channels for his popular fitness videos and vlog series. The YouTuber also owns his own Gym, Zoo Culture, and in his latest vlog, he revealed he was going to surprise one of his employees with a brand new truck. Bradley explained that his assistant Steve was one of the first employees he brought on to work at his gym and revealed an elaborate plan to surprise him with the expensive birthday gift. After buying the Tacoma, Bradley shared he was going to have someone drive the Toyota truck into the middle of the Gym and call Steve up to find out who it belonged to. Once Steve arrived at Zoo Culture, Bradley got him to investigate the security cameras and after leaving him puzzled for a short while, the fitness star surprised him with the keys. Steve was brought to tears after realizing the new Tacoma, which retails for about $26,000, now belonged to him and thanked Bradley for his incredible birthday gift. It was later revealed that the new Toyota was the latest model of his assistant’s very first truck, one that he had apparently been driving since he was eighteen years old. The vlog later highlighted the difference between his old truck, which did not look to be in the best shape, compared to the new vehicle that the Zoo Culture owner had bought for his friend. Despite managing to surprise his assistant, Bradley was also hit with a car-themed prank recently when NELK star SteveWillDoIt left him stunned after putting his face on a custom Tesla.

#BoycottTwitch trends following TwitchCon issues and site changes – Dexerto
#BoycottTwitch trends following TwitchCon issues and site changes TwitchTwitch viewers are planning to attempt a mass boycott of the livestreaming platform over a number of controversies from their TwitchCon event in San Diego, as well as changes to the site that have caused both viewers and streamers to feel ostracized. Twitch has been under a lot of fire in recent months, due to changes they’ve made to the platform, as well as increasing pressure from rival streaming sites, particularly from YouTube. They announced a change to their subscriber revenue split for streamers, removing the 70/30 split for partners and giving everyone a blanket 50/50 split, a move they doubled down on at TwitchCon. Big streamers have spoken out about it, and some, such as CodeMiko, have revealed their plans to migrate their content to YouTube. There are also more ads on the site than before, with viewers complaining that it’s hampering their experience when trying to watch their favorite streamers. Then, with the issues that stood out at TwitchCon, with one woman even breaking her back in two places in a foam pit, as well as allegations of harassment, streamers being misgendered, and a “lack of planning” at the event. Because of the issues and complaints that have mounted up over time, many are now calling for users to completely boycott the platform, with #BoycottTwitch being shared far and wide across social media. Others, though, have argued that certain elements of the boycott shouldn’t happen. For example, Twitter user Toby called for users canceling their subscriptions to reconsider, especially as small streamers may be forced to quit if their subscribers leave en masse. Whether this movement actually picks up and draws the attention of Twitch remains to be seen, but it’s clear there are a lot of ill feelings towards the platform from its user base.

Boy goes viral on TikTok after accidentally swallowing dog’s squeaky toy – Dexerto
Boy goes viral on TikTok after accidentally swallowing dog’s squeaky toy Unsplash.com: Jesper Brouwers / TikTok: brownjonathan33One TikToker’s unfortunate accident is going viral on social media after he documented his trip to the doctor’s office after swallowing a dog’s squeaky toy. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease… but in this case, it’s getting a whole lot of attention on TikTok. A young lad by the name of Jonathan Serrano is taking the platform by storm after sharing his recent adventure to a hospital. The emergency? He’d somehow swallowed a squeaky toy meant for dogs. The ensuing footage is nothing short of hilarious (if unfortunate for Serrano), with a nurse unable to control her laughter as the boy gave a few squeaky giggles for his mom, who wanted to film the whole ordeal for posterity. It’s a good thing she did, too, because the video has now racked up over 21 million views and counting. Viewers were left guffawing by the short clip, for which the TikToker gave a brief explanation down in the comments section. According to the kiddo, the nurse struggling not to laugh in his video “was cool,” but “thought I was really stupid” for accidentally swallowing the toy. “I’d die from not being able to stop laughing,” one user admitted. “He reminds me of a human version of Wheezy,” another said, referencing the penguin from Toy Story. “My dog started looking around for the toy,” another joked. TikToker explains how he accidentally swallowed squeaky dog toy The TikToker expounded upon his squeaky toy misadventure in a follow-up video, explaining that the canine trinket “looked like a kazoo,” giving him the idea to “play” it by blowing air in and out of the toy, thereby “annoying my mom.” “My mom tried to hit me, and I got scared, and I [inhale], and it went down my throat and into my lungs,” he explained. “And so every time I talked or laughed, it would squeak. …I was in the ER all night.” Luckily, Serrano is now squeaky-toy-free and is able to talk without causing people to burst into laughter. His incident follows another viral moment on TikTok where a mother waxed her three-year-old daughter’s eyebrows to “prevent bullying.”

Boxing world champ open to Jake Paul fight with one bizarre condition – Dexerto
Boxing world champ open to Jake Paul fight with one bizarre condition YouTube: Jake PaulBoxing’s heavyweight king, Oleksandr Usyk, is seemingly open to a fight with Jake Paul, but that would come with one big, bizarre condition. Over the last few years, as he’s continued to make his mark on the world of boxing, Jake Paul has gotten plenty of criticism and praise from boxers – both active and inactive. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has had a few of these inactive boxers downplay his achievements, suggesting that they’d be open to fighting him on a few different conditions. Former boxing world champion Amir Khan offered to step in for Mike Tyson, provided he and Jake were within 20 pounds of each other. While that is an unusual condition for a fight, it isn’t the strangest put forward to Jake. Oleksandr Usyk’s trainer, Sergey Lapin, has suggested that the undisputed heavyweight champion could be open to it with an unusual condition. “Can you imagine Usyk and Jon Jones fighting to prove they’re the baddest man on the planet? Or maybe it’s a third fight with Anthony Joshua in the MMA cage. Maybe it’s Jake Paul at cruiserweight, although Usyk would need to fight him with one hand behind his back to make it fair,” Lapin told Betway when asked about a potential next fight for Usyk after his rematch with Tyson Fury. Before reigning over the heavyweight division, Usyk was the deadliest cruiserweight on the planet – so it wouldn’t exactly be a new challenge for the Ukrainian fighter. In fact, Usyk even urged Jake to stop boxing not too long ago. Despite having an MMA contract too, the ‘Problem Child’ has continued to state that he’s focused on becoming a world champion in boxing. He has a fight with ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry on July 20 before he can turn his eyes to a rescheduled bout with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. So, who knows what could come next?

Boxing star Ryan Garcia responds to Bryce Hall’s fight offer with 20-second bet – Dexerto
Boxing star Ryan Garcia responds to Bryce Hall’s fight offer with 20-second bet Instagram: Ryan Garcia/YouTube: Bryce HallRising boxing star Ryan ‘KingRy’ Garcia is seemingly open to fighting Bryce Hall, but he’s not planning on it lasting more than 20 seconds. With KSI and the Paul brothers making major inroads for influencers to jump into boxing, plenty of their fellow social media stars have followed them into the sport. That includes Bryce Hall, who fought on the YouTubers vs TikTokers card back in June of 2021, falling to a third-round knockout at the hands of ACE Family’s Austin McBroom. While he hasn’t stepped into the ring since then, the TikToker has been linked with plenty of fights, including internet sensations The Island Boys and even lightweight boxing contender Ryan Garcia – who helped train him for the fight with McBroom. With Bryce talking about potential future opponents on social media, KingRy threw his hat into the ring with a, perhaps, tongue-in-cheek answer to Bryce’s UFC 271 challenge. “If I don’t KO (knockout) you in 20 seconds, you win,” the undefeated boxer said, with plenty of fans backing him to get the job done. Though, there were plenty of others who asked why he was tweeting Bryce Hall with fight offers rather than finding a future opponent that is at his level. If I don’t Ko you in 20 seconds you win https://t.co/WEKzRUQkib — RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) January 22, 2022 The 23-year-old, who dismantled British boxer Luke Campbell last time out, has been tipped for big things in the boxing world – but he has branched out into the content creation space from time to time. A fight with Bryce would, obviously, be a total mismatch but working with him ahead of his next actual fight might bring some new eyes to him as he closes in on 9 million Instagram followers of his own.

Boxing legend Butterbean challenges Jake Paul to fight: “Let’s get it on!” – Dexerto
Boxing legend Butterbean challenges Jake Paul to fight: “Let’s get it on!” IG: Jake Paul / ButterbeanDespite being 55-years-old, boxing legend Eric ‘Butterbean’ Esch claims he’s in the “best shape of his life” and wants to end his career with a bang by doing one last fight against Jake Paul. Butterbean is one of the most iconic heavyweight boxers in existence. Not only did his career span more than 20 years between 1994 and 2015, but in that time, he also racked up 77 wins, 58 of which ended with a knockout. It’s been a while since he last fought. However, after working on his fitness and claiming he’s in the best shape of his life, he wants to have one last dance in the ring against Jake Paul. He laid down the challenge on TikTok. “I’m at fight weight,” he said. “And the big announcement is that I’m going fight one last fight. It’s going to be one year from now. Jake Paul, if you’re ready, I’m here for you my friend. Let’s get it on. Me and you Jake Paul.” Butterbean believes it would be an “awesome fight” and he’s raring to go after Jake called him as a sideshow. “After you said what you said about me in the magazine, I’m ready to fight you. Are you ready? I don’t think so.” “I’ve still heard nothing from Jake Paul. But hopefully one day he’ll say ‘Hey Butterbean, Let’s do this!’ because that’s my goal,” he added. “I want to have one last fight against him or Mike Tyson. I don’t care which.” Butterbean posted a follow-up video confirming he hasn’t heard back from Jake yet. However, his determination to make it happen hasn’t wavered in the slightest, and he remains hopeful that it will happen. In the meantime, Jake’s been linked to potential fights against Anderson Silva, Floyd Mayweather, Kamaru Usman, and more. So, if he does decide to accept Butterbean’s challenge, it’ll likely be on the back burner.

Boxing Pros and Fans React to KSI vs Logan Paul YouTube Boxing Match – Dexerto
Boxing Pros and Fans React to KSI vs Logan Paul YouTube Boxing Match The boxing match between YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul was one of the internet’s most watched live events. Gaining over 800,000 views during the match and over 5.4 million views as of August 26 (on YouTube alone), the fight saw a ton of eyeballs from an array of audiences. While KSI is also a YouTuber, who has had previous fighting experience and plans to go professional. Logan Paul is just a social media mogul with a penchant for athleticism. After six months of training, however, Logan was able to hold his own in the ring. Both YouTube devotees and boxing fans alike tuned into the match – and boxing enthusiasts had a few harsh words to say about the unfolding events. A collection of Tweets was compiled in a Twitter moment regarding the fight, where fans of the sport expressed their ultimate displeasure with how things unfolded. Former professional boxer Paul Smith Jr. whom KSI in fact follows, posted on Twitter to explain why he thinks the fight was not boxing at all. “It wasn’t a fight. Neither was the first. So he’s yet to do a ‘fight’. I get it, you all love these lads fair play to them they’re experiencing the good parts of our sport.” Twitter user Matt Bradley believed the event made light of boxing in general. “Shouldn’t be happening. Making a mockery of the ultimate sport. Imo a terrible example to young amateur boxers working their way up with the help of brilliant, dedicated grass roots trainers. All wrong” Another user commented on the difference in weight and size of the fighters, referencing their occupation as professional boxer, Chris Eubank Jr., as opposed to a YouTuber, KSI. “I think this picture is so telling of a professional boxer in peak condition and a YouTube boxer. JJ is fighting at light heavyweight and CEJ is a middleweight yet there dimensions are the same The British Board likewise clarified that they are not participating in the event, as neither competitor is licensed with the BBBBofC. The organization also stated that it does not “participate in such events,” likely sticking to legitimate competition as opposed to celebrity grudge matches. However, not every reaction was negative: Several boxing fans admitted their admiration of the two fighters. Even professional boxer Anthony Crolla expressed his approval. “Seeing a lot of people’s opinions on the KSI v Logan match later. No matter what you’ve gotta give them boys credit. What they’ve created is unreal and to sell the Manchester Arena out and the the buys there gonna get on YouTube is unreal. Absolute businessmen!!!” The KSI vs Logan Paul match can be re-streamed on the KSIvsLogan YouTube channel for £7.50 ($10.00 USD).

Boxing champion claims KSI is Tommy Fury’s toughest opponent – Dexerto
Boxing champion claims KSI is Tommy Fury’s toughest opponent Misfits BoxingFormer cruiserweight boxing world champion Tony Bellew has claimed that KSI will be Tommy Fury’s toughest opponent yet, but he’s still backing Fury to win. After Tommy Fury took down ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul earlier this year, KSI has been itching to get into the ring with the reality TV star and professional boxer. Finally, the two are set to go blow for blow on October 14 as the co-main event on the anticipated ‘Prime Card’ — expected to be the biggest influencer boxing event we’ve seen, where Logan Paul will touch gloves with Dillon Danis on the same night. Ahead of the bout, former cruiserweight boxing world champion Tony Bellew has revealed his predictions, where he claims KSI will be Fury’s most difficult fight yet. Tony Bellew says KSI will be Tommy Fury’s toughest fight “I think Logan Paul beats Dillon Danis,” Bellew said in a recent interview, before the former cruiserweight champion explained who he thinks will come out on top between KSI and Fury. While Bellew is backing Tommy to win the fight, the boxer said that KSI will be Fury’s toughest challenge yet. “You know what, Tommy should win, but I think this will be the hardest fight of his career,” he said. “JJ has something about him where he will just let his hands go. Whereas was it Jake Paul who fought Tommy Fury? Jake Paul wouldn’t let his hands go. He was a bit nervous and a bit apprehensive and scared.” He added: “I think JJ, KSI, will let his hands go. So while I’m predicting a win for Fury, it’s not with any real certainty.” Ahead of the bout, KSI claims he’ll do what his rival Jake Paul couldn’t do and KO Fury. Although we’ll just have to see what happens when the two finally clash on October 14.

‘Bourbon Wife’ goes viral on TikTok for hilarious taste test fails – Dexerto
‘Bourbon Wife’ goes viral on TikTok for hilarious taste test fails kybourbonwife via TikTokA ‘Bourbon Wife’ on TikTok is going viral for her painful attempts to share in her husband’s hobby, and people are loving her persistence. TikTok fame can spark off dancing trends or creative uses of the platform, and non-bourbon-drinking Erin Plummer found one that’s been getting more love from the site’s audience. If you’ve seen a few of her clips, then you’ve caught her catchy opening before picking out a new bottle from her husband’s collection. There’s a timeless gag in watching someone distastefully realizing how gross alcohol can be, so there’s a lot TikTok viewers can relate to here. Every video starts out the same, but the reactions to different tastes and drinks keep the views rolling for the TikToker. Her biggest video has so far amassed two million views from a tasting of Knob Creek’s concoction that didn’t yield great results – but the viewer kind of knows that coming into it. Mix in the occasional meme, skit, fun editing and occasional cameos from her super smeller daughter to pick out all the notes, and you start to see why people keep watching the Bourbon Wife. Plummer recently eclipsed 30k followers, at the time of writing, and she’s been thinking about celebrating it with a special tasting – which could come at the expense of a pricey bottle from her husband’s collection. The TikToker is still refining her formula. But seeing as it could be a little while before Plummer takes to bourbon, expect for the drinks to keep on flowing.

Botez sisters slam GM Hikaru for claiming they’ll “never win anything” in chess – Dexerto
Botez sisters slam GM Hikaru for claiming they’ll “never win anything” in chess Instagram/missbotezAlexandra and Andrea Botez are putting GM Hikaru Nakamura on blast after he claimed they would never win anything when it comes to chess following GothamChess’s victory at the Streamer Awards. Levy ‘GothamChess’ Rozman emerged victorious at QTCinderella’s Streamer Awards show, taking home the best chess streamer crown against Hikaru and the Botez sisters. Following the win, Hikaru revealed he wasn’t sad about not winning. During a Twitch steam, he explained, “You look at Levy, you look at Botez, or people of that sort, they’re never going to win anything when it comes to chess.” However, the Botez sisters are not taking Hikaru’s remarks lying down, and have responded to the chess grandmaster with some digs of their own. Alexandra & Andrea Botez take aim at Hikaru’s chess diss In response to Hikaru’s comments, Alexandra Botez uploaded a video from the former TSM streamer’s broadcast and edited together the wins both she and GothamChess had at the Streamer Awards. Notably, both the Botez sisters and GothamChess were able to defeat Hikaru in 2022 and 2023 respectively. “Is Hikaru going to unfollow me on Twitter again?” asked Alexandra, referencing her past feuds with the chess pro. Andrea also shot back, quote tweeting her sister with the caption, “Excuse me I was Canadian National Champion!” Although Andrea’s championship was for girls under 8, the point definitely still stands that the streamers had made a name for themselves in the chess world. So far, neither GothamChess or Hikaru have responded to these comebacks, but it seems like there would potentially be another chess feud brewing between the superstar streamers.

Botez Sisters reveal their “most embarrassing” Chess losses against younger players – Dexerto
Botez Sisters reveal their “most embarrassing” Chess losses against younger players YouTube: Lex ClipsPopular Chess streamers Alexandra and Andrea Botez opened up about their “most embarrassing” loses in their competitive careers, particularly from younger competitors. Unlike most competitive sports, some of the greatest Chess players can earn their Grandmaster status at a very young age. Renowned Chess players and Twitch streamers Alexandra and Andrea Botez are yet to be given the title, as of writing. However, the BotezLive streamers have still pulled in an incredible amount of wins and awards in the world of Chess throughout their long careers. As with any player, they’ve also had their fair share of losses — one of which was particularly embarrassing for them when one of their opponents started doing the Fortnite dance after their win. Botez sisters claim “kids” are the hardest to lose to in Chess On September 11, Alex and Andrea joined Lex Clips and explained that most of their embarrassing losses have been when they’ve been up against much younger opponents. Especially, when they begin to heckle them or celebrate in an unusual way. For Andrea, it was particularly when she was up against “kids” or “younger boys” who were “really cocky” and rubbed their success in her face during her high school years. Yet, as they’ve got older, they still have problems with some of their young opponents. “I feel like when you’re adults and you’re paired against a kid, it’s just hard,” Andrea claimed. “It depends maybe if they’re a really sweet kid. But, most of the time I play kids they’re just really arrogant.” However, for Alexandra, nothing quite beats being outmatched by a 14-year-old who then proceeded to do the Fortnite dance after his win as she was left to “swallow [her] pride.” She added: “He is a very young Master. I think he became master when he was like 9-years-old or something. He’s very good at Chess and doing a lot of training, but he’s also incredibly good at trash-talking.” The Botez sisters have been beaten by younger players during their livestreams on numerous occasions. However, with 1.1M followers on Twitch, that hasn’t done anything to dull their popularity as one of the most popular Chess streaming channels.

Boston Bruins cosplay as Mario characters for Halloween – Dexerto
Boston Bruins cosplay as Mario characters for Halloween Twitter: Arda OcalNobody does Halloween costumes quite like the NHL, and the Boston Bruins’ Mario-themed cosplays will be tough to top. NHL players are some of the biggest and toughest athletes in professional sports, but that doesn’t make them immune from having fun off the ice. Halloween marks the perfect opportunity for teams to bond over funny outfits. Whether with family members or teammates, NHL players love a good cosplay like the rest of us. Possibly paying homage to the upcoming Super Mario Bros Movie, the longtime Boston Bruins linemates Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand made a perfect Mario and Luigi for Halloween. Boston Bruins players take a trip to the Mushroom Kingdom The Boston Bruins’ Twitter account posted a picture of Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron alongside assistant captain Brad Marchand. Bergeron and Marchand have been teammates since 2009, so the caption “was there any doubt” makes perfect sense for these two stars. Exemplifying their tight bond Marchand once said, “Bergy has been our best player for 18 years now” and “he’s the backbone of our team.” Other Bruins players filled up the rest of Mario’s familiar ensemble, including Nick Foligno as Wario, Charlie Coyle as Yoshi, and Brandon Carlo as Donkey Kong. However, Derek Forbort’s Peach cosplay may take home the best costume award. One fan responded, “Foligno definitely gives Wario energy, and a second user added, “Forbort as Peach is priceless.” Some fans were disappointed that Marchand didn’t go as Waluigi instead, but understandably Mario needed Luigi by his side. All we need now is for the players to suit back up in costume and attend the Mario movie premiere together.

Boss ruins employees’ snow day by picking up workers who booked off during blizzard – Dexerto
Boss ruins employees’ snow day by picking up workers who booked off during blizzard TikTok/pixieamirraaIf you’re lucky enough to live in a place where it snows often, then chances are you’ve had a day or two canceled due to the weather as a kid – but one boss wouldn’t let his employees have a day off. Getting off work because of the weather can normally be as easy as calling in and booking off, and that’s what one TikToker thought, too, before her boss showed up to her door. Amirraa Ruffin, who goes by ‘pixieamirraa’ on the app, had tried to call off during a blizzard in Portland with freezing rain, eight inches of snow and power outages. While all these elements might seem like the recipe for a snow day off the job, Amirraa’s boss wasn’t having any of it and decided to pick up the TikToker and her coworkers despite the unfortunate weather. Boss picks up employees who booked off during Blizzard In a video that’s been viewed over 4 million times so far, Ruffin revealed that her boss picked up every employee who had called out to take them to work. The clip shows employees standing around in the snow outside of the Verizon store with the caption: “And I was hoping he would just let the store be closed for the day.” Amirraa further explained in the comments that her boss agreed to drive everyone back home at the end of the day, but that didn’t stop users from voicing mixed opinions on the matter. “I’d be LIVID,” one wrote. “Mine did this once and we all got into an accident [because of] the ice,” someone else chimed in. “Okay but that’s still an amazing boss,” said another, to which Ruffin replied, saying that while she agrees, she wanted to sleep in. Despite missing out on some sleep, the TikToker revealed that everything went well, with her boss taking the crew to get coffee even though the road conditions weren’t ideal.

Bored Ape Yacht Club Instagram hackers reportedly stole millions in NFTs Ape DAO / MetaThe Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Instagram account was hacked with over millions of dollars in NFT reportedly stolen after a phishing link lured users to a scam. After the breach, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) confirmed the hack on Twitter and warned its followers not to interact with the profile. “There is no mint going on today,” the company said on Twitter. “It looks like BAYC Instagram was hacked. Do not mint anything, click links, or link your wallet to anything.” It seems as though a few items still got transferred out of people’s wallets during the hack which were valued over a million dollars combined, as BAYC sought to regain control of its accounts shortly after the hack.

Borderlands 3 easter egg mocks Summit1g’s legendary CSGO fail – Dexerto
Borderlands 3 easter egg mocks Summit1g’s legendary CSGO fail Summit1g / GearboxA Borderlands 3 player has come across a special easter egg in the game, which makes reference to popular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar. Summit1g is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, with thousands regularly tuning in to watch his GTA RP streams, and the hilarious antics he finds himself involved in on the game. It seems like Borderlands developer Gearbox are fans of the 32-year-old too, adding in a weapon referencing the streamer, and a legendary moment from the former CS:GO player’s career. Twitter user SmartGuy316 appears to be the first player to have gotten their hands on the item, stating that he loaded up the game and found it sitting in his backpack ready for use. The grenade is aptly named “Burning Summit,” and the tagline for the weapon is “Can we get some 1G’s in the chat,” referencing the streamer’s name. Has anyone else come across this grenade in #Borderlands3 ??? I just loaded up my game and it was just there in my backpack – @summit1g pic.twitter.com/HyQIWzeH0o — Smart (@SmartGuy316) September 23, 2019 SmartGuy316 included a video of the weapon in action, and it’s clear that the developers had Summit1g in mind when they created it, making a hilarious reference to a legendary moment in the CS:GO player’s career. When the Burning Summit is thrown, it explodes almost immediately, placing fire on the ground directly in front of the player that they need to either walk through or stroll around to continue moving forward. LOL It literally explodes on yourself as soon as you throw it #Borderlands3 pic.twitter.com/oyMzFB197F — Smart (@SmartGuy316) September 23, 2019 This is a fantastic nod to Summit1g’s legendary fail on Train, where he represented Splyce in a match against CounterLogic Gaming at DreamHack Austin 2016. With the American the last man standing for Splyce, and Jacob ‘FugLy’ Medina remaining for CLG, Summit1g managed to pick off his opponent, with ample time to defuse the bomb and seal the map for his squad. The end seemed so certain that the directors had cut to a shot of the players on the stage, only for a shocked expression to appear on the face of the streamer, as he had accidentally walked into fire from a Molotov and lost the round. Summit1g isn’t the only streamer to have an item dedicated to him in Borderlands 3, with Dr Disrespect also referenced by Gearbox in the game. Fans can get their hands on The Doc’s “The Two Time” sniper rifle by completing the “ECHOnet Neutrality” mission, although how you get your hands on Summit1g’s Burning Summit grenade remains to be seen.

Borat strikes deal to make Redditor his wife during AMA – Dexerto
Borat strikes deal to make Redditor his wife during AMA Amazon / Freepik, Racool_studioTo celebrate the release of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the highly anticipated sequel to 2006’s hit success, the infamous Kazakh reporter has engaged his fans with a Reddit AMA and laid down the foundations for marriage with one lucky commenter. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] It’s unclear whether Sacha Baron Cohen plays Borat or if Borat plays Sacha Baron Cohen. What is clear, however, is that the man with a bushy mustache, thick accent, and iconic grey suit is an absolute danger to play with anyone’s heart strings, conducting the melody of romance. In absolute proof of the reporter’s seductive capacity, his Reddit AMA was absolutely littered with flirtations, sweet nothings, and some content too scandalous for unprepared eyes. But one exchange deserves commendation for its pure end goal: marriage. While Borat has become visibly infatuated with blonde American women, he is a man known for his flexibility. It appears that flexibility has lent itself to courtship as well, with one Reddit comment paving the way for the blueprint of wedlock. A confident, available Redditor by the delicate name of ‘Fox248’ made themself an option for Kazakhstan’s self-reported fourth-best reporter. In a simple, concise comment on Borat’s AMA, they asked him their question: “Do you need wife? I can be wife.” As The Office’s Kevin has made universally clear, many words are unnecessary when few words can accomplish the desired task. In this case, the desired task must have been the sensation of abdominal butterflies. If you, too, were nervous and excited to know if modern love was budding. Borat’s answer ensures that it has bloomed, as the charming gentleman gave his new amorous interest a positive response: “I always look for new wife, if your current owner reach deal with me I will pay him up to 35 liters of insecticide and provide for you: red dress, two shoes of leather, and use of clock radio for three hours per week.” It’s not every day that the public is exposed to the glamour of romance, but Borat does not abide by the conventions the masses typically observe. While he was honest about his preferences with Fox248, that is not rude, but, in fact, a cornerstone of sustainable relationships. As he told them, his “current color scheme preference is woman with yellow hairs like Pamella Andersons or Dog the Bounties Hunter.” This was not laid out as a deal-breaker, but simply as a preference. Instead, the deal-breaker surrounds their abilities on the farm and in the child-rearing department. In a world full of shady behavior and mistrust, it is encouraging to know that a media celebrity can be so open to love.

Borat set for first-ever Twitch stream alongside DrLupo: how to watch – Dexerto
Borat set for first-ever Twitch stream alongside DrLupo: how to watch Twitch: DrLupo / Amazon StudiosBorat is one of the most iconic characters in the world, and now the Kazakh journalist is set to make his first appearance on Twitch tomorrow where he will ‘face off’ against DrLupo; here’s how to watch.[jwplayer Xo8okBKe] Borat is more than a national treasure to Kazakhstan. He’s a global icon and one of the funniest characters in the world. Sacha Baron Cohen first slipped into the Borat persona back in the nineties. But although he appeared in several hilarious skits and cameos, he didn’t explode in popularity until 2006, when the feature-film ‘Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’ released worldwide. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s a mockumentary that revolves around unscripted real-life interactions. Sacha Baron Cohen pretends to be Borat, a journalist from Kazakhstan. He travels around the US to learn more about their culture. But he purposefully presses their buttons and puts them in hilarious situations. He winds up people from all walks of life, which sometimes lands him in hot water. Fortunately, we’re lucky enough to experience it all over again with the imminent release of the sequel, ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.’ Seth Rogen claims he has already seen it around six times and said he “can’t wait to watch it a seventh.” He described it as “crazy and wonderful” and believes it has “a few of the funniest scenes [he’s] ever seen in a movie.” But that’s not all. To promote the movie, Twitch announced that Borat will make his first-ever appearance on their platform. “For the first time ever, Kazakhstan’s biggest gamer will go live on Twitch,” the Amazon-owned platform announced on Oct. 20. “Very nice.” The best part is, he will ‘face off’ against DrLupo “in a battle for global supremacy.” For the first time ever, Kazakhstan’s biggest gamer will go live on Twitch. Very nice.#Borat faces off against @DrLupo in a battle for global supremacy, tomorrow October 20 at 3pm PT on https://t.co/GFgVyGvc4n. pic.twitter.com/LcICoesa5f — Twitch (@Twitch) October 19, 2020 The stream goes live on October 20 at 3 pm PT. If you want to know where and how you can watch it, we’ve got you covered. How to watch Borat stream on Twitch First, you’ll obviously need to wait until the time is right. However, it’s a good idea to tune in a little earlier as most streamers kick things off with a ten-minute countdown. – Then, all you need to do is tune in to DrLupo’s Twitch channel, which can be found here. – From that point onwards, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. – There has been no official word on what games they’ll play. DrLupo has been dabbling in a bit of everything lately, from 7 Days To Die and Escape From Tarkov to Genshin Impact. Maybe even a bit of Among Us might be on the cards. Of course, it’ll depend on what games Borat has available. For all we know, he might be an absolute machine on Call of Duty: Warzone or League of Legends. But we’re not counting on it. Either way, the stream is going to be a blast, and we can’t wait until it goes live.

This article was originally titled “Boogie2988 under fire for canceling charity stream for mental health” and has also been updated. Popular YouTuber and Twitch streamer Steven ‘Boogie2988’ Williams is no stranger to controversy, but now, the content creator is coming under fire for putting a halt to a good cause. In fact, Boogie has garnered so many haters throughout his career that he claims these very critics are responsible for him pulling the plug on a charity stream he had planned to run for his birthday, which he would have matched dollar for dollar to benefit mental health organization ‘To Write Love on Her Arms.’ However, instead of going forward with the stream, Boogie later went live to explain that he didn’t want to be accused of misusing any of the funds, claiming that he didn’t know how to raise the cash without collecting it himself. If you are interested in getting me a birthday gift I am down… please make a donation to @TWLOHA which is a great group that helps people with depression and suicidal thoughts. If you are familiar with my recent struggles you will know why I picked them. They are awesome! — Boogie2988 (@Boogie2988) July 24, 2019 “Number one, I don’t know how to raise the money without directly collecting it myself,” he explained during a Twitch stream. “I don’t want people accusing me of stealing the money, so I’m waiting until I figure out how to do that.” Unsurprisingly, Boogie’s explanation was met with heavy vitriol across sites like Twitter and Reddit, with many Redditors calling his argument “fake” and “bullshit.” “Making up bullshit again, [a] simple Google search and you can find loads of ways of setting it up,” one commenter wrote of the matter. “This fucking idiot that will do anything to try and appease his fans, it’s so disgusting.” 600https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/ch7911/boogie2988_says_he_doesnt_know_how_to_run_a/“What happened to the charity stream?” another Tweeted. “Didn’t want to match every donation? Kinda figured it was all a lie lmao.” What happen to the charity stream? didnt want to match every donation? Kinda figured it was all a lie lmao. — kkkk (@chrisssgyh) July 24, 2019 This latest scandal follows Boogie’s splurge purchase of a Tesla Model S in late June, which similarly saw mass fan outrage after the YouTuber appeared to “beg” for money after realizing just how much cash he’d spent on the vehicle. While many critics pulled out a slew of receipts speculating just how much income Boogie actually makes, the YouTuber held that his “begging” was merely a joke in response to the backlash. This would be far from the first time the YouTuber has dealt with such vitriol: Boogie even admitted that the widespread hate had made him “horribly suicidal” in a series of Tweets in early June, a fact that prompted him to initially schedule his charity drive, in the first place. Ironically all of this negativity makes me horribly suicidal. I struggle with it daily. I hate it. The idea that so many people think I am even capable of these things makes me wish I wasnt alive. Those things are truly the opposite of who and what I am. 2/?— Boogie2988 (@Boogie2988) June 13, 2019 Boogie has yet to comment on the outrage concerning the stream as of publishing this article.

Boogie2988 suggests YouTube is on a “Downward Turn right now” – Dexerto
Boogie2988 suggests YouTube is on a “Downward Turn right now” In a video posted Monday, Sept 10, popular Youtuber Boogie2988 gave his thoughts on the current state of the video sharing platform. “It seems like Youtube is a on a downward turn right now. Twitch seems to be doing great,” Boogie said midway through the video. “All kinds of gaming channels I love, some of them are quitting, some of them are going bankrupt, I don’t know what it is,” Boogie continued. “This channel has suffered, to some extent, views are lower. I blame myself, I blame my content, I blame my consistency, I blame my whiny nature and the stupid things I’ve said on podcasts and Twitter,” he said. Boogie doesn’t place all the blame on creators though, as he suggests this is something happening across the site.

I don’t know, it’s frustrating.” “But i guess I knew that eventually the YouTube bubble would burst, I thought my personal bubble would burst long before it,” he said. “If it bursts along with YouTube, hey, that’s not a bad problem to have.”

Boogie2988 slams Twitch for banning him & “proves” he didn’t show anything – Dexerto
Boogie2988 slams Twitch for banning him & “proves” he didn’t show anything Boogie2988 | TwitterBoogie2988 got completely naked on stream to get on board with the censor bar meta, banking off the idea that his loose skin could cover anything that’d violate Twitch ToS. He was banned regardless, prompting him to make a video showing things in more detail to prove he wasn’t showing anything. The current censor bar Twitch meta has pervaded almost every corner of the site, with streamers who wouldn’t normally do IRL streams or anything of the like getting in on the action. And, seeing as Twitch CEO Dan Clancy doesn’t have too much of an issue with it, it seems like this meta is here to stay for a while. As long as the censor bars actually keep things covered, that is. Boogie2988 had the idea to let his own body be the censor bar, but it appeared as if there was a bit that slipped out from underneath him. As a result, he was banned. Hours later, Boogie released a follow-up video where he once again got naked on camera to prove that he was fully covered by loose skin and that nothing was actually shown. Boogie2988 “proves” he didn’t violate Twitch ToS It’s a bit difficult to tell what is and isn’t Boogie showing anything from the video he posted. However, he did make an argument for himself here and explained what was what down there. If he’s to be believed here, what people thought was ToS violating material showing was actually another layer of loose skin above ToS violating material. And, though he claims this was a move to “troll Twitch”, there’s a real chance he didn’t actually show anything. The video in question has him separate the flaps of skin, claiming that what appeared to be a ToS violation was also yet another layer that was slightly discolored. “This is loose skin, Twitch is ableist. They banned me because I’m obese, they banned me because I have loose skin. This is not my testicles.” What’s more, Boogie’s video original got community noted on Twitter, but those community notes were removed as there was sufficient evidence to prove he was nude. At least, in the video he posted to Twitter, that is. Since being banned from Twitch, the streamer has opened an OnlyFans account. While it’s unclear if he’ll get unbanned after posting his “proof”, he’s already moved to other content platforms in the meantime.

Boogie2988 fires gun during confrontation with YouTuber Frank Hassle – Dexerto
Boogie2988 fires gun during confrontation with YouTuber Frank Hassle Twitter: Frank Hassle / YouTube: Boogie 2988[jwplayer A9iT5QAh]YouTuber Steven ‘Boogie2988’ Williams has been recorded aiming what appears to be a personal firearm at rival content creator Frank Hassle, before reportedly “firing a warning shot in the air” during the confrontation at Boogie’s house. Boogie2988 and Frank Hassle have reportedly been at loggerheads in recent times, mainly due to what Williams has said is “planned, continued harassment” from Hassle and his fanbase. This included Hassle’s alleged involvement with the now-closed /r/SamandTolki subreddit, which was a community based around harassing YouTube content creators. Boogie2988 was reportedly a top target for the banned Reddit forum. Hassle has also blamed Boogie for his YouTube channel being suspended. The two came together for an interview, hosted by Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem, during which Hassle threatened to turn up at Boogie’s house in Arkansas. Hassle also shared a photo of himself in Fayetteville, where Boogie currently resides. i’m in Fayetteville pussy @Boogie2988 pic.twitter.com/KuAJbILRSe — Beaver Street Brawler (@FrankHassleYT) September 27, 2020 In the unreleased KEEMSTAR interview, Boogie allegedly told Hassle “at least five times” that he would kill Hassle if the YouTuber arrived at his house. The following day, Frank Hassle has reportedly done just that. The YouTuber seems to have arrived at Boogie’s hometown, Fayetteville, which led to Boogie “firing a weapon at him,” according to KEEMSTAR’s Storyfire upload. Hassle is shown in the video knocking on Boogie’s front door, demanding he “open fire,” and yelling multiple slurs. The YouTuber also demands to see Williams’ firearm. Boogie can then be seen emerging from his house with a gun in his left hand. “Are you going to shoot me… in your doorway?” Hassle can be heard asking. Boogie replies: “I’m asking you to leave. This is my home. You are not welcome here, you have threatened my life. In about thirty seconds I am going to fire a warning shot.” BREAKING we now have pic of @Boogie2988 pointing gun at @FrankHassleYT !!!! #DramaAlert pic.twitter.com/mN6DxAnyfK — KEEM 🍿 (@KEEMSTAR) September 28, 2020 The YouTuber cannot be seen firing the weapon, but Hassle suggested in a leaked Twitter message that at least one shot was fired. The Fayetteville police dispatch logs also recorded a reported “shooting” around the time of the incident. “It was, he’s a p*ssy lol,” Hassle said when asked if it was him Boogie had shot at.

The most recent update has come from Boogie himself. The YouTuber revealed he has been in contact with the Fayetteville police department, and confirmed the September 28 incident is now under investigation by the authorities. Williams claims he has handed footage over to the investigating police. “I have to be careful what I say as this is now a criminal investigation,” he wrote on Twitter while posting a YouTube video responding to the situation. “But I wanted to try and drive home the point that THIS IS NOT OK. Do NOT come to a YouTuber’s house uninvited… someone could have died.” As of publication, Hassle’s Twitter profile is still hosting multiple images of him standing on Williams’ property. There are also multiple photos of Boogie holding a firearm in the doorway of his Fayetteville property. Boogie also responded to some that have suggested the incident was “staged” for attention: “To anyone thinking this is staged… you have been gaslit by trolls. I would never lie about this. But check the police blotter. This is very, very real.” Dexerto will update you on any further developments as they happen.

Bollywood rapper smashes YouTube view count record overnight – Dexerto
Bollywood rapper smashes YouTube view count record overnight Sony Music India, YouTube – YouTubeYouTube saw an international race against the clock between creator Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg and Bollywood label T-Series in early 2019, which ultimately defeated the Swede – but now, another Indian channel is making waves on the platform. Sony Music India uploaded a music video for Bollywood rapper Badshah’s “Paagal” single on July 10, featuring a colorful cast of dancers breaking it down to a dancehall beat. The track quickly went viral, racking up over 75 million views in a single day – but this development didn’t make waves online, despite YouTube’s usual touting of record-breaking videos. While YouTube Tweeted out praise for KPop band BTS’s “Boy with Luv” and Ariana Grande’s “Thank U Next,” the platform hasn’t made any noise regarding views for Badshah’s “Paagal” – and some alleged “foul play” may be to blame. According to reports from Bloomberg, Indian music industry professionals claim that “Paagal’s” quick rise to fame could be the result of bots, server-farming, and even grand advertisement schemes, which may have embedded the video to other websites. View this post on InstagramRepresenting INDIA. Heading towards GLOBAL DOMINATION. Ye India ka time hai. 50 MILLION VIEWS. Thank you so much jinhone support kiya aur gaane ko pyaar diya. Its just the begining. Love youuuuuuuuuuuuu. Its your boy BAADSHAAAAAAHHHHHH! :flag-in::flag-in::flag-in::flag-in: This wouldn’t be the first time an Indian music company has come under fire after skyrocketing to fame, either: T-Series similarly caught criticism during its battle against PewDiePie, with the YouTuber claiming the label used “sub bots” to reach its current 106 million subscriber count. In spite of the criticism, Badshah himself implied that the scrutiny around his record-breaking video is due to YouTube’s alleged “double standards.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BzNzyh_gaAJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link“We worked hard for this, promoted it worldwide,” the rapper stated via Instagram. “I don’t want people abroad to see India like it’s shown in a film like ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’” However, Badshah’s words are lost on the ears of the internet – and BTS fans, in particular, who were quick to point out that BTS’s “Boy with Luv” boasts no advertisements. bts: paved the way badshah: paid the way — :milk: (@seonqwhore) July 31, 2019 “BTS: paved the way,” one user Tweeted of the news. “Badshah: paid the way.” “Ads [are] so funny,” another wrote. “So Badshah, Taylor Swift, Blackpink, Ariana Grande with ads in their music videos…Thanks to God, BTS is organic.” Ads is so funny.

Bold Glamour TikTok filter under fire for “messing with people’s body dysmorphia” – Dexerto
Bold Glamour TikTok filter under fire for “messing with people’s body dysmorphia” TikTok: @katherinemheigl, @shoelover99TikTok content creators and certain celebrities are speaking out against the “Bold Glamour” filter which, according to them, promotes body dysmorphia and can lead to self-esteem issues. When it comes to sprucing up a TikTok video or photo, many users utilize filters to help them stand out from the crowd. These filters can brighten up their scenery, add a background, or change how they look all together. Most recently, the Bold Glamour filter – a filter that gives users the look that they’ve had a few minutes in the make-up chair – went viral across the app. However, the filter has come under fire from several content creators and even mainstream celebrities, some of who claim it can mess with the user’s self-esteem and cause body dysmorphia. Shoelover99, also known as Ophelia, is a content creator with 11 million followers who spoke out about it in her TikTok video which garnered over 2 million views in just 2 days since being posted. “I think filters like this mess with people’s body dysmorphia, their self-esteem, everything,” said Ophelia in her video. “I think filters like this push impressionable young girls that they need to look like this to be considered beautiful and that is so not the case.” Backlash over the “Bold Glamour” TikTok filter Several other content creators and celebrities have also spoken up about it. Actress Katherine Heigl made a TikTok featuring the filter captioned: “Ummm … I hate this b**ch #boldglamourfilter is not for me,” the video itself featured Katherine staring at her herself in disbelief with the filter applied. Kelly Strack, a popular makeup content creator, made a TikTok showing herself with and without the filter after waking up in the morning. “I just woke up, this is not what I look like right now, this filter should be illegal. Here’s the real me, oh my gosh,” said Kelly while switching the filter on and off. Users have continued to use the filter despite the backlash.

Body painter slams TikTok for taking down Halloween video – Dexerto
Body painter slams TikTok for taking down Halloween video Instagram: intraventusPopular body painter Intraventus has hit out at TikTok after they removed a number of her recent videos, including ones centered on Among Us and Catwoman. [jwplayer ZXB9LNVP] Body painting has long been a hot topic on the internet, with many platforms having vague rules about it, even though viewers will sit and watch the impressive transformations for hours on end. One of the most popular body painters around is Intraventus. She streams her paintings on Twitch, amassing thousands of viewers each time she takes on a new project, though, she has plenty of issues with being banned and having content struck down. While she hasn’t had a problem with Twitch for a while, she is now having trouble posting videos on TikTok, and the streamer has hit out at the social media platform over the constant removal of her posts. The body painter flagged an issue on October 28 as her Catwoman TikTok was taken down minutes after posting. “Also wasn’t reinstated when appealed. This needs to stop,” she said, attaching the original post for anyone who missed it. She followed that up and noted that she had another problem on October 30 as her impressive Among Us Halloween-themed body painting video was also deleted by TikTok. “Well what do you know? This was taken down, too. @tiktok_us What the actual fuq,” the body painter tweeted, re-posting the video of her Among Us Halloween-themed look. Again, this doesn’t violate tiktok and community guidelines but was taken down minutes after posting. @tiktok_us Also wasn’t reinstated when appealed. This needs to stop. pic.twitter.com/SoZ6756Oda— Rachel Victoria (@Intraventus) October 28, 2020 https://twitter.com/Intraventus/status/1322373546098741248 One response suggested that, because Intraventus had used a gun in her Among Us video, TikTok had flagged it for removal on that basis. However, the body painter noted that she and plenty of other TikTok users have held up or shown a gun in their videos, but they have been allowed to stay online instead of being deleted. I have guns in so many videos tho? As do so many other content creators on tiktok :/ — Rachel Victoria (@Intraventus) October 31, 2020 Similarly to Twitch, which has also had issues surrounding body painting content, TikTok doesn’t exactly give detailed reasoning for a ban or suspension, and usually just says that content is in violation of community guidelines. There’s no telling if they’ll change and clarify reasons a bit more in the future, or if they’ll leave creators somewhat in the dark. Though, Intraventus would like to see something change.

Body painter lashes out at Twitch following ‘unfair’ ban – Dexerto
Body painter lashes out at Twitch following ‘unfair’ ban Instagram: MizzyRoseA popular Twitch body painter has hit out at the streaming service over a temporary ban she received for an “insufficiently covered body” on April 11. Mizzy is a 22-year-old Twitch personality who lives in British Columbia, Canada. She has been on the platform for a number of years and specializes in body painting – the art of painting a person’s body, often to depict clothing or as part of a cosplay. As you can imagine, this is a bit of a grey area on Twitch’s terms of use. While “body art” is a listed “exception” to Twitch’s terms of service, it almost always involves the use of the streamer’s body as a blank canvas. In an attempt to ensure that she didn’t receive any punishment from the Amazon-owned platform, Mizzy started the stream with her chest already painted, believing that by doing this, she would not violate Twitch’s terms of use. This didn’t stop the Canadian’s account from being banned, however. Despite following the terms of service to the best of her knowledge, Mizzy’s account received a one day suspension for “streaming or engaging in body-art content featuring a nude or insufficiently covered body”. “Twitch has banned me!” the artist tweeted. “I don’t care if it’s for a day, it still affects my account. I did nothing wrong.” TWITCH HAS BANNED ME! IDC IF ITS FOR A DAY, IT STILL AFFECTS MY ACCOUNT ???I DID NOTHING WRONG. Someone is wrongfully banning on Twitch’s end. @Intraventus @PrayerAlis @RayRachelTV @Twitch @TwitchSupport @TwitchPluto @ForkgirlCosplay (Like/retweet) 🙁 Heres before and after: pic.twitter.com/I3InEcNE6E — Mizzyrose (@mizzycyn) April 11, 2020 Responses to Mizzy’s ban were mixed. One Twitter user argued that the ban was justified, and that the 22-year-old was “naive” and knew “what kind of content you knowingly were live streaming on a predominantly gaming platform.” However, others argued that Mizzy’s stream stuck to Twitch’s guidelines: “That banning was total bullsh*t. Everything was within Twitch’s own guidelines.” Given the one day length of Mizzy’s ban, she is already back on Twitch. However, a ban stands against a channel even after it has returned and can lead to issues regarding partnership and monetization in the future. Regardless, Mizzy is back body painting on Twitch, deciding not to let her suspension stop her from creating the content she loves.

Body painter hits out at Twitch for permanent ban despite being “fully covered” – Dexerto
Body painter hits out at Twitch for permanent ban despite being “fully covered” Twitter: VirtualKookieeTwitch body painter ‘VirtualKookie’ has hit out at the streaming platform after receiving an indefinite ban for a bodypainting stream, despite claiming they were fully covered up. For most people, when you think of Twitch, you think of gaming streamers and esports events running wild, but that’s not always the case. Just Chatting and artistic streams are pretty popular as well. Its not uncommon to find a streamer making music in front of thousands of viewers. However, when it comes to bodypainting, that’s a more controversial topic. For some, it is an art form just like any other, but other viewers argue it’s inappropriate and breaks Twitch rules. As a result, body painters are constantly fighting to keep their channels afloat after being banned, with many needing to take to Twitter or Instagram to call out Twitch. Bodypainting streamer VirtualKookie, who has around 5,000 followers on Twitch and 12,000 on Instagram, took to Twitter after being indefinitely banned. Read More: Twitch bans GeorgeNotFound permanently again – “Not once did they respond to my appeals because Twitch Support (and) Twitch know it’s nothing to find that went against Twitch rules,” the streamer tweeted, showing different emails showing that ‘inappropriate body art’ was the reason behind her ban. “Also I’m always covered, I never get up on stream, & I never just chat after stream while paint is still on. Once’s done I’m off. So what?” VirtualKookie further noted that her ban came pretty much right after she’d finished up her stream and that trolls may have played a part. Not once did they respond to my appeals because @TwitchSupport @Twitch know it’s nothing to find that went against twitch rules.

So what? pic.twitter.com/5Ykt3LGVgN — Kookie 🤗 (@VirtualKookiee) March 9, 2021 I made a twitter just to take action against Twitch. I just received an indefinite ban today.

I was told my painting was inappropriate after, once, again having trolls. pic.twitter.com/Lx7f9aZgzd — Kookie 🤗 (@VirtualKookiee) March 7, 2021 Twitch has altered their rules on body painting a couple of times after being called out by different body painters, but these strange suspensions continue to be imposed. There’s no telling if Twitch will change their rules again, or if they’ll cut VirtualKookie’s ban short – as of writing, her channel is suspended. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Body paint streamer slams Twitch “negligence” after being banned again – Dexerto
Body paint streamer slams Twitch “negligence” after being banned again Instagram: intraventusUPDATE August 28, 2:10 PM PST – Intraventus has been unbanned from Twitch, under 24 hours after calling out the platform for her suspension. ✅ Twitch Partner “”Intraventus”” (@intraventus) has been unbanned after 17 hours, 53 minutes and 16 seconds! ✅https://t.co/ShLOROrK7y#twitch #unban #partner #twitchpartner 🎥 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) August 28, 2020 Original story can be read below. Body painter ‘Intraventus’ has hit out at Twitch and their “negligence” after she received another ban from the live streaming platform, as she calls for clarity and change over what has happened. Even though the large majority of streamers use Twitch to play games, there are plenty of others who use it to host podcasts, do news shows, and even stream themselves making art – be it professionally or as a hobby. One thing that falls under the art category is body painting. Twitch has strict rules about body painting, and it is allowed so long as the streamers meets standards relating to how much of their body is covered up on stream. However, for Intraventus – a popular body painting streamer has over 71,000 followers on the platform – she has been left to call out Twitch yet again after receiving another ban for her body painting. The body painter, who was left in tears the last time the platform suspended her, expressed her frustrations on August 28 by saying she is “tired of having to deal with the negligence” from Twitch and that it is “unfair and happening far too often” to her. Intraventus even attached a video of how she had been painting herself, noting that the ban reason she received started that she was either insufficiently covered or took too long of a break during the stream. “I didn’t take a single break. I literally painted the entire stream. So, Twitch, what really happened here?” she added. “I’m so tired of being banned off of your platform, meanwhile, while I use your platform, I’m constantly harassed by trolls and children that can’t understand that this is art. You need to do something.” I’m frustrated. @Twitch @TwitchSupport I’ve been banned again while following your TOS. Im tired of having to deal with the negligence on your end. Do better. This is unfair and happening far too often. Also I’m partnered and have no twitch contact to ask for support. pic.twitter.com/VOlS1inDqR — Rachel Victoria (@Intraventus) August 28, 2020 Unlike some other body painters, Intraventus has not had her entire channel removed, and has just received a 24-hour ban from Twitch. She also noted that while she is a Twitch partner, she doesn’t have a partner manager to turn to in order to get some help, so it might be something Twitch has to seriously look into moving forward.

Body language analyst breaks down David Dobrik’s second apology: “Genuine for the wrong reasons” – Dexerto
Body language analyst breaks down David Dobrik’s second apology: “Genuine for the wrong reasons” David Dobrik YouTubePopular YouTube Body Language Analyst, Logan Portenier, looked through David Dobrik’s second apology to break down the embattled Vlog Squad leader’s video – but the Observe channel’s host wasn’t impressed by what was presented. Dobrik and his Vlog Squad YouTube collective are still reeling from sexual abuse allegations toward Dominykas Zeglaitis, better known as Durte Dom. After the initial waves of backlash, Dobrik, 24, released an apology video that many saw as insincere. But for his follow-up attempt at addressing the allegations, he gave a much more pointed discussion about the things revolving around his YouTube empire. While it looks and sounded sincere this time around, Portenier claimed Dobrik could be hitting all the right body language notes in his second apology “perhaps for the wrong reasons.” Throughout the video, Portenier spotted indications in Dobrik’s eyes, mouth, nose, and overall countenance that would suggest he was being honest about the tolls he’s endured from the allegations. “We’re seeing actual emotion leaking out,” Portenier explained. “David isn’t usually able to force emotions like this… The emotion that’s leaking out here is genuine.” There were more sections in the video that the body language analyst highlighted that he believed were from a real point of regret, pain, disgust, etc. However, that only works against Dobrik at this point, according to the expert. “The incident itself evoked a half-ass, lame apology several years later,” he said, explaining how the pain and fear Dobrik expressed in his second video is marred by how ineffective the YouTuber’s first attempt was. “If he had come out and immediately apologized and immediately went to the people then that would at least show that he [was aware] to apologize and to own up to his own idiocy.” Dobrik has been losing followers, his reputation is tanking, sponsors are reportedly pulling out, and he’s just losing money over this ordeal, something Portenier believes could be contributing to the YouTuber’s genuine remorse in his second video. “That’s my analysis of David Dobrik’s apology: genuine, perhaps for the wrong reasons,” he said.

Bobby Lee left stunned after George Janko walks off Impaulsive podcast – Dexerto
Bobby Lee left stunned after George Janko walks off Impaulsive podcast YouTube: ImpaulsiveComedian Bobby Lee was left baffled after George Janko, one of the co-hosts of Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, walked out and didn’t return, asking whether he was “really upset” about the direction the podcast had taken. Bobby Lee is known for his eccentric style of comedy and always pushing boundaries, so his fans and those aware of him knew that his Impaulsive appearance wouldn’t exactly go like it does when they have other guests. He was in fine comedic form throughout, in classic Lee fashion, not afraid to test his new friends’ limits and push the podcast’s age rating as far as it could go. Before long, though, the situation clearly got a bit too much for Janko, who had been the butt of several jokes throughout the podcast, and he walked out, not seeming too upset but clearly a bit agitated. Logan went to follow him and see if he was coming back, after some questions from Tommy about it, and while he originally said Janko would be returning, he later confirmed that he wasn’t actually going to come back to the podcast. This left a confused Bobby Lee wondering what had been said to have upset George so much, as he thought they’d been getting on fine, to which Mike Majlak admitted Janko had taken some abuse throughout the episode. “Did I really hurt him?” asked Bobby. “Be honest with me. Is he really mad, this f**king guy?” Logan then responded, saying that he was also confused, but Majlak admitted that he wasn’t surprised by it, explaining that Janko “took a little abuse this episode.” Timestamp 1:20:58 Lee finished the podcast, on his knees, asking for George’s fans to forgive him and promising to come back another time with gifts to ask for forgiveness from the man himself. Janko hasn’t spoken out about the situation since the episode aired, though people standing off-camera said that Janko was annoyed at Mike and Logan, not by Bobby.

Bobbi Althoff’s husband files for divorce after three-year marriage Instagram: bobbialthoffPodcast extraordinaire Bobbi Althoff’s three-year marriage appears to be coming to an end after her husband Cory filed for divorce proceedings. Comedic podcaster Bobbi Althoff shot to viral fame following her prolific interviews with subjects like Tyga, Lil Yachty, and Drake. Seemingly out of nowhere, Althoff rocketed to social media stardom amassing a combined 12 million followers across TikTok and Instagram. Her uncanny ability to land major interviews led to a number of rumors that Althoff was some kind of industry plant. These accusations intensified following the deletion of her interview with Drake amid rumors of conflict between the two. Recently, reports have surfaced that Althoff’s husband Cory has filed for divorce. She took to Instagram following the news breaking to publicly confirm her marriage’s end. Bobbi Althoff announces divorce Althoff explained the situation to her followers in the caption of a photo showing her and her former partner Cory together. “As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,” Althoff began. “As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father & I am so lucky to be able to co-parent with such an incredible father and person.” According to People, Cory is requesting joint physical and legal custody of their two children. While the divorce has only just been announced, the actual filing took place in July, 2023. This is the same month that Althoff’s interview with Drake went viral and her Podcast began to take off. Because the interview took place in a bed, viewers began speculating that Althoff and the rapper slept together but she has vehemently denied the accusations at every possible turn. “While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him,” Althoff ended in her announcement of the divorce. The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff has been going ahead since the divorce filing and its second season recently kicked off.

Bobbi Althoff slams “ignorant” comments about divorce: “I’m obviously insecure” Instagram: bobbiBobbi Althoff slammed “ignorant” comments about her divorce and admitted to feeling “insecure” as a single mom of two children. Influencer and host of ‘The Really Good Podcast’ Bobbi Althoff, 25, separated from her ex-husband Cory Althoff in July 2023 and later divorced him in February 2024. “As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife,” she wrote on Instagram. The two were married for four years and share two children. While she’s continued her career by interviewing celebrities like Drake, Lil Yachty, NLE Choppa, Meghan Trainor, Saweetie, and more, she’s faced criticism for allegedly sleeping around with those she works closely with. On July 16, Bobbi posted a diagram to her IG story about the things she can and can’t control. A commenter then responded, “Damn get divorced, choosing fame over your now ex-husband just to get passed around by different guys weekly.” The podcast host then unleashed on the “ignorant” comment and detailed how “insecure” she has felt since splitting from her husband. “I never respond to this comment that I’ve been getting a million times a day for the last year, but I am really sick of seeing it,” she wrote. “Anyone who says stuff like this is so f*cking ignorant.” “You don’t know why my marriage ended, that we both are so much happier apart than we were ever together. That now our kids get to see two happy parents instead of zero.” She continued, “Like do you really believe that it was my dream in life to be a divorced mom of 2 kids by 25? Obviously not. I’m obviously insecure about it & wish things played out differently in my life.” Bobbi added that she has never slept around with anyone she interviewed and rarely goes out to parties. Despite her defense, Bobbi was seen getting carried away from a Nashville bar by NFL player and friend Sean Murphy-Bunting on July 8. She even dubbed her drunken night a “scary” one. While Bobbi has faced plenty of criticism for what she does behind closed doors, as many alleged that she slept with rapper Drake before her divorce, she made it clear that she regrets how her relationship with Cory panned out.

Bobbi Althoff responds to “scary” night out after being carried away from bar Instagram: bobbiComedian Bobbi Althoff responded to the “scary” night out she had with friends in Nashville on Monday night. Comedian and content creator Bobbi Althoff was seen having herself a boozy night out on the town in Nashville on Monday, July 8. After having one too many drinks, Bobbi had to be carried away from the bar and put into an SUV by her friend and NFL player, Sean Murphy-Bunting. In a video obtained by TMZ, her limp body was draped around Sean as he carried her to the car. Once the video went viral, Bobbi responded via her Instagram story and tagged Sean to thank him. “Last night was scary but thankful for having good friends in my life like Sean for looking out for me,” she wrote next to a photo of herself and the Arizona Cardinals cornerback. Fans of Bobbi have since reacted to the drunken clip, as many were concerned for her safety and the “wild hangover” she’d have the next day. “That doesn’t look good on anyone,” wrote one. “Lots of water, hope everything is good,” added another. Many viewers also commented on the fact that she was likely letting loose after her July 2023 divorce from her husband of four years, Cory Althoff. “She lost her husband… now she’s getting carried out of bars,” wrote one. “Crazy how immature adults become after leaving their family. She needs to slow down and be careful out there,” added another. Though Bobbi might have had too much to drink in Nashville, she could have been celebrating the success of her standup comedy tour with Funny Marco. The tour began this summer and will wrap up at the end of August after visiting many popular U.S. cities.

Bobbi Althoff responds after trending for deepfake “leaks” – Dexerto
Bobbi Althoff responds after trending for deepfake “leaks” Instagram/BobbiAlthoffPodcaster Bobbi Althoff has responded to the viral deepfakes of her surfacing on social media, confirming they are not real. As more and more celebrities are having private videos of them leaked to the public there’s also been a rise of deepfakes at the same time. Just one month after deepfakes of Taylor Swift went viral on X, Bobbi Althoff was targeted by AI-generated videos, sparking backlash online. One day after the clips of Althoff began to spread, the influencer began to trend on X/Twitter. She responded to them directly and put the matter to rest by confirming many people’s suspicions that they are fake. Bobbi Althoff hits out at deepfake “leaks” In an Instagram post, Althoff addressed the deepfakes and how she had been trending on social media. “Sorry to disappoint you all, but the reason I’m trending is 100% not me,” she said. “[It] is definitely AI generated.” Deepfakes have become a huge problem on social media with many influencers and even Twitch streamers, having their faces show up on videos without their consent. Earlier this month, AI deepfake scammers even impersonated a company’s CFO during a business meeting and stole $26M. Microsoft even took action against deepfakes by closing a loophole in their Designer AI image generator app that allowed users to use slightly misspelled names and non-sexual descriptions to create the content. So far, Althoff has yet to comment further on the videos or if she’ll be taking legal action against the individual who created them.
