  • Wholesome YouTube dad goes viral for teaching basic life skills – Dexerto

    Wholesome YouTube dad goes viral for teaching basic life skills Facebook: Dad, How Do I?A YouTube account called “Dad, How do I,” in which an American dad offers advice on how to do things typically taught by someone’s father, has gone viral for his heartwarming content, becoming an overnight internet sensation. It’s alleged that Rob Kenney, who runs the account, was left by his Dad at the age of 12, which serves as the inspiration for starting the account. So far, ‘Dad, How Do I?’ has posted just 13 videos, but has managed to amass well over 1.2 million views since posting the first earlier in April 2020. At the time of writing, Kenney’s latest video – simply saying thank you to the many thousands who have shared their admiration or gratitude for his content – is #7 on YouTube’s Trending page, with his name alongside the likes of KSI and Harry Styles. In the video, he explains that many of the things he teaches on his YouTube channel are simply things he had to figure out growing up, acknowledging that others are in similar positions and might appreciate the help that he wasn’t able to get. Clearly, he’s right. Thus far, the channel’s most-viewed video (not including the currently Trending one) is his second most recent one: “How to fix most running toilets.” As with all his videos, this one does exactly what it says on the tin, and clearly has resonated with thousands of people across the globe, not just as an educational product but for what the channel itself represents. Since his first upload on April 2, Kenney has amassed almost 900,000 subscribers at the time of writing, quickly closing in on the incredible 1 million milestone. He has been making local news in Chicago and his story is spreading like wildfire and, in truth, you can’t say he doesn’t deserve all the love and respect he’s earned off the back of his efforts.

  • Wholesome Japanese McDonald’s ads return with another “adorable” animation – Dexerto

    Wholesome Japanese McDonald’s ads return with another “adorable” animation McDonald’s JapanThe marketing team for McDonald’s Japan knows they’ve got a recipe for success. Their second wholesome animated ad has struck engagement gold. McDonald’s has an unusual propensity for going viral. It can be for weird food trends like the Grimmace Shake or because someone has the audacity to take someone on a first date there. Last month, the internet got a taste of how McDonald’s Japan does things when an animated advert exploded in popularity. The “wholesome” animation had millions of views and even inspired fan art (among other things…). Now McDonald’s Japan has done it again with another adorable animation that, like the first, has taken the internet by storm. Posted to their Twitter account, it has audiences all over the world swooning. While McDonald’s Japan’s last animated ad focused on a family sharing a meal, this one shows an awkward but cute young couple. The will they, won’t they romance of it all has touched the hearts of some internet denizens, and brought out the cynicism in others. One user in the comments claimed that “McDonald’s Japan is winning hearts and souls with this”, while others longed nostalgically for “the simple days of high school romance”. The warm feelings experienced by a majority of the audience were not unanimous however with some Americans feeling as if they were missing out. “So the Japanese get adorable/wholesome ads and Chicken Selects, but the US doesn’t?” asked one incredulously. This most recent animation also sparked a rather one-sided debate about which of the two was better. The latest one seems to be the crowd favourite but we’ll let you decide for yourself. One user suggested that “all McDonald’s should do their ads similar to this one” so we may see a trend arise. We’ll be sure to let you know if any other global branches of McDonald’s decide to adopt anime in their Marketing.

  • Wholesome TikTok goes viral after identical adult twins bamboozle their dad in the funniest way – Dexerto

    Wholesome TikTok goes viral after identical adult twins bamboozle their dad in the funniest way TikTok, @HoopFinesseThousands of people across the internet are crying tears of joy, as a TikTok video of identical twins pranking their dad (after nearly two years apart) is giving everyone some proper wholesome happiness. Identical twins can be tricky to deal with and, therefore, are perhaps the greatest gifts to the pranking world. TikTok and YouTube content creator HoopFinesse (real name, Muhammad Abdul-Aleem) proved that fact to the fullest by working with his twin to surprise their dad. HoopFinesse’s twin brother, Musa, hadn’t seen him or his father in 18 months (likely because he was off playing professional basketball in Libya). So the twins and fellow content creators decided to take the opportunity to put their dad’s observational skills to the test. After meeting and lightly tussling, as brothers do, the two swapped clothes and went to visit their father. Musa, dressed as his brother (and holding Muhammad’s kid), went to say hello to their pops while his brother remained outside. But we won’t spoil the rest, that’s what the video is for. https://twitter.com/Hoopfinesse/status/1385926579495243776 As you can see, even the little one was confused — as HoopFinesse’s kid seemed a little unsure when asked “who’s dada?” by both twins. But confusion over twins knows no age limits, as the pair’s dad was also absolutely bamboozled by their prank. Opening the door and casually welcoming Musa (disguised as HoopFinesse) inside, the pops seems happy to chat with his local son. He proceeds to play with the kid and nonchalantly responds when asked if he’s talked to Musa recently. Then, in a moment that has taken over the hearts of social media users everywhere, HoopFinesse opens the door and their father exclaims “oh, Musa!” before two contrasting emotions splash across his face in unison: joy and confusion. Realizing the son he had been talking to was the one he hadn’t seen in nearly two years, the father embraces Musa in a fit of laughter, hugs, and a couple forehead kisses. In response to the video, people are simply sharing in on the joy. As one Twitter user replied with a screenshot of Todo tearing up (in a moment of joy) during , others have joined in with similar responses. One thing is clear from the video’s explosion across the internet: happy people make people happy.

  • Who won The Traitors US Season 2? – Dexerto

    Who won The Traitors US Season 2? PeacockAfter more than a month of backstabbing and betrayals, The Traitors US Season 2 has come to an end. But who won? Here’s what you need to know. Season 2 of the beloved Bravo reality series The Traitors begun airing on January 12, 2024. This season, 22 more reality TV celebrities joined in for a game of betrayal and were mercilessly axed one after another. The Traitors Season 2 served a perfect dose of tragic comedy, especially in episode 5, when the contestants ran around the fancy Scottish Castle making random bird sounds to protect themselves from being murdered. As the contestants played the treacherous games on host Alan Cumming’s well-set chessboard – many went back home with important lessons and trust issues. Now that the month of missions, round tables, and surprise funerals is over, who won The Traitors US Season 2? Who won The Traitors US Season 2? Faithfuls Trishelle Cannatella and Chris “CT” Tamburello won The Traitors US Season 2. In the final episode, the two reality TV best friends were left standing along with the Shahs of Sunsets alum MJ Javid. Trishelle, The Challenge star, had won herself an immunity shield with the help of CT and it was up to her to decide which player she wanted banished in episode 11. She talked about her paranoia setting in when she was making her last choice to Vanity Fair. She said: “I was letting the game paranoia get to me. Alan had said something like, ‘Well, there could still be a traitor amongst us,’ and Alan is super convincing. So I was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s talking about CT, isn’t he?’ “Because I just knew that MJ was not a traitor. I didn’t think she could pull it off and lie like that. I don’t think CT is a liar, but I know that he’s so smart, and he’s played these games before. I kept thinking, ‘Oh my God, maybe he helped me get the shield because he didn’t need it. He didn’t light my torch. Maybe he did that because he knew he wasn’t going to murder me because he’s a traitor.’” Trishelle ultimately chose to banish MJ and won the cash prize of $208,100. She split the amount with her ‘The Challenge’ bestie and each went home with $104,050.

  • Who will Jake Paul fight next? – Dexerto

    Who will Jake Paul fight next? Instagram: loganpaulWith Jake Paul getting a split decision win over Tyron Woodley, all eyes are on who he’ll be fighting next – and there’s a long list of candidates. When Jake Paul first stepped into the boxing ring back in 2018, he did so to fight fellow content creators. Since then, he’s moved on to fighting athletes and skilled fighters. His knockout wins over Nate Robinson and Ben Askren were pretty impressive, but grabbing a split decision victory over Tyron Woodley really adds to his credibility and makes him a dangerous opponent. There are plenty of fighters who want a piece of the Paul, especially as it means you’re in for a decent payday win or lose. Though, there are some standout contenders. Will Jake Paul fight Tyron Woodley or KSI next? While plenty of fighters have thrown their hat into the ring and offered to fight the internet star, as of writing, nothing has been decided just yet. Jake doesn’t have a fight lined up or announced. There have been rumors swirling that he owes Woodley a rematch – and the former UFC Champ even stated that it could happen after his loss – but there hasn’t been anything imminent. Plus, T-Wood needs to get a tattoo to make it happen. Additionally, there has been a bout with KSI brewing for quite some time. The British YouTuber showed a win over Jake’s brother Logan in his first pro fight, and since then, Jake and KSI have continually traded verbal shots about a fight. Could Jake Paul fight Conor McGregor or Tommy Fury? While one of those two seems the most logical, there are other options on the table as well. Jake has got into an online feud with Tommy Fury – who won his fight on the Paul vs Woodley undercard – and the YouTuber stated that a fight made sense. However, Jake also noted that he wanted to see Fury’s star in the United States start to rise first, which it likely did following his own win. There is also the option of Conor McGregor. The Irish fighting icon had been quick to shut down the possibility of fighting Logan or Jake as they’ve been calling him out for years, but he’s softened that stance since. He lost his last fight due to a gruesome injury but there is no doubt that it’d be a huge spectacle if they came to trade blows in the ring. McGregor even tweeted during the fight, suggesting he was eyeing it up. Will Jake Paul fight Logan Paul? There have also been longtime rumors that Jake and his brother Logan would actually square off at some point. They both said they were reluctant to do so at first, but like McGregor, that stance has softened. For now, though, it appears as if Jake will be celebrating his win over Woodley for the time being. If anything changes and an opponent stands out, we’ll be sure to update this post.

If you have watched at least one episode of Pawn Stars, then you are sure to recognize Rick Harrison. Owner of the iconic Gold & Silver Pawn Shop where the show is filmed, he is front and center of the massively popular series. When he wasn’t filming the series he was raising his two sons, Corey and Adam Harrison. Corey ultimately joined his father on the cast of the show, earning his pawn name “Big Hoss.” Adam, on the other hand, was never featured in the series with his family. Now, Adam Harris has been found dead. Adam Harrison found dead at 39 from an alleged overdose On January 19, TMZ broke the news that Adam was found dead at the young age of 39. The outlet reported that the cause seems to be an overdose, but this has not been confirmed as of yet. Both Rick and Corey have since taken to social media to share heartfelt posts about him, with Corey sharing a photo of him and his brother as children. Despite never seeing him on-screen, Pawn Stars fans have shared their well wishes to the family on Reddit. One fan wrote, “As someone in recovery myself, my heart goes out to the family. No one should outlive their kids, and no one should have to watch their kids struggle with addiction.” Another fan chimed in and wrote, “I hope they get the privacy and support they need at a time like this.” As far as Pawn Stars goes, there haven’t been any updates on whether or not the successful show will be receiving a Season 23. And if so, there’s the question of whether or not Rick and Corey will be prepared to come back to the show after Adam’s death.

  • Who owns Twitch? Gaming’s most popular live stream platform – Dexerto

    Who owns Twitch? Gaming’s most popular live stream platform Twitch/Unsplash, @casparrubinMany people have wondered exactly who owns Twitch as its maintained its position as the most popular live stream platform for many years. It’s no secret teenagers are watching television less and less, allowing live-stream websites like Twitch to grow immensely over the last few years. While it is mainly a home for gaming content, the growth seen on the site has also brought on streams consisting of more ‘Just Chatting’ and other daily activities. Founded in 2007 by Justin Kan and Emmett Shear under the name JustinTV, the site was divided into several different categories with gaming being the fastest growing of them all. This growth led them to branch off and create Twitch. Just a few years after creating the platform, the duo sold off to a pretty major company, but who was it? Who exactly owns Twitch? The first few years after the creation of Twitch were a bit of a roller coaster, with the creation of the interactive Twitch Plays Pokemon and even a bit of back and forth with a potential Google acquisition. On August 25, 2014, Amazon purchased Twitch Interactive for a massive $970 million in cash. The acquisition has allowed the company to use its existing web services to help the platform support more and more traffic, allowing for seemingly endless growth. Since then, the Seattle-based company has acquired countless other companies and extensions for Twitch users to take advantage of. How did Twitch begin? Originally founded in 2007 by Justin Kan and Emmett Shear, JustinTV was a single channel broadcasted by Justin Kan who broadcasted much of his life. Kan called it “lifecasting,” much like the in-real-life streams we see on the platform today. When 2011 came around the site had already grown into various categories, including the rapidly growing gaming category. It was then that the team decided to separate the gaming category into TwitchTV, which was renamed Twitch Interactive just months before the company was acquired by Amazon. Now you know that the internets most popular live-streaming platform started off as a single guy broadcasting his life and now, we get our choice of thousands of streams from a wide variety of broadcasters.

    Who is Xiao Qiumei? TikTok crane operator dies from accident xiaoqiuemiPopular Chinese influencer XiaoQiumei has reportedly passed away after an accident saw her fall from a crane while creating a new video. Just like other social media platforms, TikTok is banned in China due to content from other countries, but a clone in the form of Douyin has taken its place. The app has seen great popularity in China, and as a result, a crop of influencers have been born from its success. That includes XiaoQiumei, a female crane operator who had well over 100,000 followers on Douyin. However, she has reportedly passed away following an accident at work. Xiao Qiumei: Douyin’s popular crane operator According to various reports, the 23-year-old creator was apparently recording videos in her tower crane on July 20 just prior to her accident in Quzhou, in western China’s Zhejiang Province. A video circulating across social media appears to show the Chinese creator falling around 160-feet to the ground from her crane, with her phone in hand capturing the whole thing. Reports suggested that she was alone at work at the time of the accident, with many of her co-workers already going home before her fall. Reposts of the distressing video, of course, have been taken down in some cases, especially on TikTok where news of Xiao Qiumei’s accident has trended for a few days. According to different reports, the creator’s family confirmed that she had passed away on July 23, and that she had simply missed a step on her way down from the crane and tumbled to her peril. They claimed it was purely an accident and not a part of a stunt or anything of that nature. They also noted that the creator typically stayed off her phone while working, but recorded videos showing off her job when she had spare time.

Known as yandere.freak on TikTok, they have 1.6 million followers. Previously known as ‘snowthesaltqueen’, the TikToker’s real name is Mary Anne Oliver-Snow, from Houston, Texas. Court filings at Harris County District Courts show that Snow was arrested on January 18, after giving an audio-recorded statement about the events that had unfolded. The case against Snow claims that “on or about January 17,” Snow “recklessly caused the death of Helen Rose Hastings by pointing a handgun at the complainant and pulling the trigger.” Tributes were paid to Hastings in the Oberlin Review, by friends at Oberlin College, where she was a first-year student. In a statement to police, Snow said that “they were all drinking and she got pretty drunk.” The firearm was said to be their ex-boyfriends, but that all the bullets had been taken out, and the magazine removed. The group of friends had been watching “Gotham,” and Snow explained to police that they are a cosplayer, and that they “like characters and stuff, and told her friends she had a gun like Penguin does.” It is then said that the victim joked “oh, shoot me”, which Snow did, not expecting a bullet to be loaded. Following booking, Snow was released on $20,000 bond. On September 27, rumors about Snow began to spread online, due to their popular presence on TikTok and social media.

  • Who is the TikTok Fugitive? Man goes viral after saying he’s falsely targeted by the FBI – Dexerto

    Who is the TikTok Fugitive? Man goes viral after saying he’s falsely targeted by the FBI TikTok Fugitive/TikTokChad Hower, who is also known as the TikTok Fugitive, has gone viral after claiming that the FBI and INTERPOL have falsely targeted him and put him on the most wanted list for years – despite their evidence being proven wrong. The TikTok Fugitive, whose real name is Chad Hower, has gone viral on TikTok after sharing his story of being wanted by both the FBI and INTERPOL for kidnapping his 13-year-old son in 2009 – despite several court documents disputing these claims. Chad has been chasing his freedom for the past 13 years after his ex-wife made kidnapping claims, sparking a thorough FBI investigation. The allegations stated that Chad kidnapped his son, Alex, who is now 26 years old, despite having been in Europe at the time of the alleged crime and also having full legal custody of Alex at the time. Because of this, the FBI found no evidence to support the claims and confirmed Hower’s innocence. Despite this, Chad spent several years in a Bulgarian prison and is now forced to remain in his Caribbean home. For years, the father and son duo have blogged about the events to try to get their story out. They have now turned to TikTok to help share his story. Content What happened to the TikTok Fugitive – Why is the FBI interested in arresting the TikTok Fugitive? – TikTok Fugitive pleads for help as he’s in need of medical assistance – What happened to the TikTok Fugitive? Speaking to Ike Wingate in a recent podcast episode, Chad revealed that he moved to Cyprus in 2001 after his divorce was finalized. But traveling to Bulgaria in 2009 to speak at a conference, he was arrested by five armed INTERPOL agents. He was then put in a total of five Bulgarian prisons in the span of three months. He was then released after his extradition to the US was denied. And it’s been denied two more times since then. “[The FBI] tried to extradite me. I had been through three extraditions in multiple countries, and every country they’ve tried to extradite me from, the FBI has been sent packing because their claim is not even credible,” Chad said. “They forged my son’s birth state, they lied about where I’m from, and they lied about where I was in November 2006, and I have evidence to prove all of this,” Chad argued. He then went one step further and said: “This was no mistake. The FBI knew what they were doing. They knew they were lying from the get-go when we went into court. They knew they were lying.” Why is the FBI interested in arresting the TikTok Fugitive? In the podcast, Chad revealed that he had two theories as to why the FBI and INTERPOL want him arrested. The first theory is that it’s all a big misunderstanding and mistake on the FBI’s part – but he doesn’t really believe this. “So there are four judges so far that have been involved in this kidnapping thing, and they’ve all upheld it. And so it can’t be a simple mistake on a mistake and a mistake. They’re doing this intentionally,” Chad claims. The second theory has to do with his in-laws, who used to work as senior engineers and had access to Russian military secrets. “One of the working theories is that some CIA agent had a wet dream that they could recruit me and possibly turn me on my wife’s parents to get Russian military secrets. So they wanted to get me into custody and try to force me to work for them,” he said. “And I had three intelligence agencies approach me, all US allies, in trying to recruit me when I worked for Microsoft and remarried a Russian citizen in 2002.” TikTok Fugitive pleads for help as he’s in need of medical assistance After spending years in a Bulgarian prison, Chad is now suffering from kidney failure. And due to being in hiding on the tiny island, he is unable to get the medical attention he needs. “I have a very serious medical condition that needed addressed years ago, and they’re preventing me from getting surgery. Because I live on an island of 35,000 people. Our hospital here cannot perform the surgery and I need to travel. And the FBI knows I need to travel, and they’re blocking me from traveling because they want me to die here,” Chad claimed. “I’m in a lot of pain. I need urgent medical assistance. I’m continuing to lose kidney function every week, so I need help.” Even though several judges have upheld that Chad is not guilty of the kidnapping charges that have been put against him, the FBI is still wanting to arrest him. Chad revealed that the FBI does in fact know where on the island of St Kitts, and that he will arrest him if he leaves. “They have tons of court documents of them saying they know exactly where I live and that they’ve lost three extraditions, and that they cannot get me unless I travel off this tiny island,” Chad said. “So if I travel anywhere, even to say the island can see out my window, I will be arrested and I’ll be put through the extradition proceedings which can take anywhere from months to years, and I’ll typically be held in a prison during that time.”

  • Who is the viral “not real” woman? Plane passenger became meme after public freakout – Dexerto

    Who is the viral “not real” woman? Plane passenger became meme after public freakout Screenshots via DFW PD/TikTokFor the past few months, several stories have been shared about a viral “not real” woman who rose to fame after a confusing freakout on a plane where she claimed another passenger wasn’t real. But who exactly is she? Here’s everything we know. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or have been completely off the grid internet-wise, you’ve more than likely come across the now-infamous video of a woman storming off a plane and complaining about a “not real” passenger. The short clip was posted by TikToker knuckelslawncare back in July, showing the woman – Tiffany Gomas – freaking out about another passenger. She urged fellow passengers to get off the plane, which was destined for Orlando from Dallas Forth Worth but ended up getting off on her own. But who exactly is the viral “not real” woman and how is it she’s still making the news months later? Here’s everything you need to know about her and what she’s been up to. Content Who is the “not real” plane woman? – What caused the “not real” plane outburst? – What happened to the “not real” plane woman? – Viral “not real” plane lady reveals what she actually saw on flight – Viral “not real” woman offered to join OnlyFans and Playboy – Viral “not real” plane woman responds to SNL skit mocking her – Who is the “not real” plane woman? Back in July 2023, a Tweet featuring a video with an unusual situation picked up over 10.2 million views. In the footage, a woman is making her way toward the front of the plane while warning the other passengers of some kind of threat. The woman in the video claimed that she had to get off because somebody in the back of the plane “is not real” and that the rest of the passengers could “die with him” or get off. One month after the tweet went viral, the woman was identified as Tiffany Gomas, a 38-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas. What caused the “not real” plane outburst? Viewers were immediately curious to know exactly what it was that Gomas apparently saw, with some even speculating that she made the entire thing up as a stunt with the aim of going viral. However, it was reported that the outburst started with an argument about AirPods. The New York Post reported at the time that Gomas had an argument with her relatives, accusing them of stealing her AirPods. Police documents state that Gomas was unwilling to leave the flight and had to be removed by staff. “The female then started claiming the aircraft was not safe and did not want the aircraft to leave due to her believing it would not make it to its destination,” the complaint claims. “Due to the statements the flight attendants felt the aircraft needed to be rescreened. [The airline manager] explained that the passenger was denied boarding and they wanted her escorted to the public side.” What happened to the “not real” plane woman? After Gomas was escorted off the plane, bodycam footage showed her arguing with officials about the safety of the plane. “I don’t care if I ever fly with y’all ever again, I want to know what happens to this flight right her,” Gomas can be heard saying as she looks on from the boarding area. “Do not let that flight leave, I’m being dead serious,” she said, urging staff to keep the plane grounded. Timestamp of 0:35 In another clip, Gomas was being escorted out of the terminal by police, asking if the escort was really necessary. That was when she told police and other passengers that the flight would “blow up.” She was ultimately led outside and continued arguing with police over her removal. Gomas has issued an emotional apology for her behavior on the plane and in the airport, calling it her “very worst moment.” The plane ultimately landed safely in Orlando, albeit delayed because of her outburst on the plane. Viral “not real” plane lady reveals what she actually saw on flight During an episode of the ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast in November 2023, Gomas opened up on what she supposedly saw during her viral meltdown. But, much to viewers’ shock, she said she didn’t actually see anything at all. “You know, the reason I probably haven’t come out yet, because it’s like, so cringe — I did not see anything,” she admitted. “I mean, I think y’all knew that.” Instead, Gomas claimed that her claims of a passenger being “not real” was merely an “expression of speech” at the tail end of an argument. “I got in a bit of an altercation,” she continued. “It spiraled out of control. It was not my best moment. I mean, it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying.” “I was just in my feels. I just needed to get off that [flight]. I was highly distressed. Not a good look. It was not a good situation.” Viral “not real” woman offered to join OnlyFans and Playboy Since Gomas first revealed her identity to the world and started to talk more and answer questions about the plane incident back in July. She has appeared on multiple podcasts and TV shows to answer people’s questions. And it appears that her regular public appearances have made an impact on people in multiple ways. Not only did she become a popular Halloween costume, but people have now also requested her to join OnlyFans. During an appearance on the Macrodosing Podcast in November, Gomas revealed she hasn’t earned a cent from her newfound fame, but she that she’d received requests to be on Playboy and OnlyFans. “Trust me, there are times when you’re like in your deep moments. You’re like, ‘damn, should I do that?’ But it just really doesn’t fit who I am as a person,” she explained. Sadly, for those who felt like she would jump at the opportunity, Gomas has no interest in joining either the adult platform or magazine, even though she had no doubts that it would be successful. “I’m not knocking it whatsoever. It’s just not really up my alley. I actually do have a good career,” she added. “Trust me, I can make a hell of a lot more money on OnlyFans though.” According to Gomas, if she did join OnlyFans, she’d make enough money to retire as early as next year, but despite the tempting offer, it doesn’t seem like she’s willing to make that leap anytime soon. Viral “not real” plane woman responds to SNL skit mocking her On November 18, Saturday Night Live had a skit that parodied Gomas’ viral moment as they rattled through some of the cliches people might see while flying this holiday season. In the SNL clip, Gomas isn’t mentioned by name but it’s very clearly her, with everything from the outfit and the use of her “is not real” line being completely on point. Obviously, with the parody going pretty viral itself, it didn’t long for it to get onto her radar. “Well, this is embarrassing,” Gomas said. Though, she seemed to see the funny side of it given she used some laughing emojis in her response. Plenty of viewers agreed with Gomas’ review of it, noting it was pretty clever. Some even said she’d “finally made it’ after being mocked on SNL. “This is awesome, she did nail it,” said one. “This is an honor,” another added.

  • Who is the “oyster girl”? TikTok split over viral date video – Dexerto

    Who is the “oyster girl”? TikTok split over viral date video TikTok: equanaaaA woman has been going viral over the past few days after her date skipped out on her as she ordered multiple rounds of oysters. Here’s what you need to know about Oyster Girl. Everyone has got a bad date story in their back pocket – be it because they got stood up, their date ghosted them mid-way through things, or because they fell over and embarrassed themselves. Of course, not everyone shares them with the internet, but TikToker equanaaa decided to share hers on October 11, as her date decided to leave while she was treating herself to some seafood. She’s become known as Oyster Girl online, sparking numerous memes and parodies in a short time after going viral as the internet has decided to poke fun at it. Though, there are some who see both sides of things. What is the Oyster Girl video on TikTok? Equanaaa may have uploaded the video to TikTok, but it’s on Twitter/X where it’s gone most viral. It was reposted there by one user who was “irritated” that the TikToker had exposed their favorite oyster spot in Atlanta. As of writing, that tweet has got over 25 million views. It’s just a straight reupload of the TikTok in which equanaaa explains she was on a date with a man and ordered four rounds of oysters – 48 in total. While starting on further food, the man said he was going to the bathroom, but ultimately left. The TikToker noted that she texted the man after he left and his issue was that she was eating when he’d only invited her for drinks. Though, he did offer to pay for the drinks. It’s the fact she ate 48 oysters that’s got the internet split, however, not that she got ghosted. “48 oysters by anyone is crazy within itself but for the first date? That’s just wild,” said one viewer. “He literally said can we meet for drinks then you proceeded to slurp down half the ocean,” another said. “I truly do not know how I would react to a first date recording themselves slurping up 48 oysters with the flash on. That’s something else.” “I see both sides. I love oysters but also could not imagine someone smacking on them for 10+ mins,” one TikToker commented. “This is why guys don’t do dates anymore, noted,” another added. “I wanna take her side so bad but I cannot get past the 48 oysters,” another tweeted. Some viewers have questioned if equanaaa offered to split the food or if she was always planning to go solo on it too. However, the only update she’s put out is responding to claims she undertipped the servers. So, it remains to be seen if there is more to come. Either way, the internet is having its fun with it all.

The TikTok comes from Beleaf N’ Family, and this baby’s shenanigans are quite entertaining, yet scary. Evil toddler TikTok The evil toddler comes from Beleaf N’ Families most recent TikTok, showing off how frustrated and sad his son becomes when his siblings leave for school. In the TikTok, after the boy’s relatives exit the house, his dad provides a voice-over for his son’s emotional rollercoaster: “Alright, this is hands down the most emotional baby I’ve ever seen in my life. His brother and sister just left for school, and this is his honest reaction. He’s not just upset, he’s upset that he’s upset. So what does he do? He slaps himself in the face. This is an outward expression of what he’s feeling on the inside.” “People ask me why I didn’t laugh. Because I was scared. This is nothing other than an evil villain’s origin story.” At the end of the video, the baby glares an evil smirk at the camera, showing maybe his dad was right about the whole evil villain origin story thing.

Although he’s still upset his siblings are gone, he refuses to stop being adorable. Even though he’s been dubbed the “evil toddler” of TikTok, he might not be such a menace after all.

  • Who is “Tan Mom” and why might she be the next US senator? – Dexerto

    Who is “Tan Mom” and why might she be the next US senator? Instagram: realtanmom“Tan Mom” was accused of bringing her 5-year-old daughter to a tanning salon in 2012. Now she’s a “totally different person” and looking to run for office. Four years before TikTok launched and two years after Instagram, “Tan Mom” was a viral sensation. Patricia Krentcil was arrested in 2012 for child endangerment after taking her then-5-year-old daughter to a tanning salon, though all charges were later acquitted. However, her bronzed skin ensured her spot in the internet’s hall of fame, and more than ten years later, Krentcil is still sporting her dark summer glow. Only now she is pursuing a new venture. In a bid to ensure that “all voices are heard”, Krentcil is running for a seat in the Senate in the 2024 Florida election. Having seen and experienced the struggles faced by many currently living in Florida, Krentil is looking to make a difference. She is pro-LGBTQ+, fighting for affordable healthcare and housing, and supports a “Tax Cut for moms”. Describing herself as a “champion for those who are underserved, and underheard” on her campaign website, Krentril hopes to “show people that they have the choice of compassion, to vote the way they want to vote, to be their own person, not be afraid, not be judged when they go out in public.” “Everyone is so quick to judge these days,” Krentcil told Fox News. “I know what it’s like to be targeted. That’s something I’ve endured my entire life.” One mission especially close to Krentcil’s heart is to improve America’s healthcare system after she lost her husband of 25 years to cancer during the pandemic. Krentcil said, “I would pass a law for everybody to be able to have insurance, Medicare, Medicaid,” and wants to expand the child tax credit to ensure parents don’t get overwhelmed by medical bills. And don’t worry, she now also “advocates for using a high SPF”. Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

  • Who is Sykkuno? Wholesome Twitch streamer to new YouTube gem – Dexerto

    Who is Sykkuno? Wholesome Twitch streamer to new YouTube gem Sykkuno InstagramSykkuno joined the exodus to YouTube Gaming after his stellar rise on Twitch. We take a look at who Sykunno is and explore the wholesome streamer’s career so far. Right off the bat, his broadcasts have a much different tone than what you’d normally find on most channels. Where many content creators rely on a steady supply of eccentric gameplay or highly energized react videos, viewers will be surprised to see how laid-back Sykkuno’s streams can be. Streams are driven by his wholesome characteristics, tamed approach to a given situation, reserved demeanor, and, of course, the ‘anime protagonist’ vibe he immediately gives off. Since starting his journey as a League of Legends creator on YouTube to streaming Among Us on Twitch with the likes of Pokimane, Disguised Toast, Valkyrae, PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, and more, Sykkuno hasn’t stopped growing while hardly raising the decibels in his content. The internet’s friendliest streamer: Sykkuno Sure, there are haters who see Sykkuno’s success and want to bag on the streamer – with threads filled with speculation his personality is fake or purposefully embellishing mannerisms. But it’s hard to find clips to support that. The more you pay attention to him, the more you want to see if he’s going to crack. But then he doesn’t. I was streaming some ranked last night and fed hard as amumu. Kaisa started flaming me and spamming FF, but he legit went through a redemption arc later in the game and we ended up as pals by the end of it! I got the warm fuzzies after how nice he ended up being!! 😊 pic.twitter.com/ExbZZkpmKl — Sykkuno (@Sykkuno) April 26, 2019 Consider how his sunny disposition perfectly plays off of Corpse Husband’s dark demeanor – just one way he’s been known to light up Twitch streams since skyrocketing in viewership. He started broadcasting his face in early 2020, and the only times he’s broken character wasn’t for raging or giving a desperate hot take – instead, it was because he was overjoyed with the birthday wishes from his friends and community. (Mobile viewers: Timestamp at 10:40) Sykkuno blows up on Twitch There’s a mixed bag of reactions when looking at Sykkuno’s rise on Twitch. He’s had his account since 2011, and was largely absent on the platform from 2015 to 2018, according to SullyGnome. He was encouraged to turn the broadcast back on with some encouragement from longtime friend and OfflineTV member Lilypichu, according to TopTwitchStreamers. It’s a good thing he did, too. Since coming back at the tail end of 2018, his old followers and new fans were giving him healthy streams with an average viewership, hovering at 60-100 people for the first few months of his return. Of course, recurring features in animated videos that featured Lilypichu, Scarra, and the like also contributed to his growth; it was around mid-2019 when people were starting to recognize Sykkuno based on his voice alone. Someone actually recognized me by my voice IRL, IT WAS KINDA EMBARASSING BUT EXCITING!! 😳😳 Thanks yu yung for noticing me!! You made my day! — Sykkuno (@Sykkuno) April 28, 2019 Metrically, there are three defining moments during the streamer’s rise: TwitchCon 2019; his appearance on the Rajjchelor, since called Love or Host, in May 2020; and his August move into the OfflineTV house. The first two instances defied Sykkuno’s aptitude for being low-profile while putting him face-to-face, in a manner of speaking, with the wider streaming community. And once people knew about him, they couldn’t turn away. Sykkuno moves to YouTube Gaming Sykkuno has left his abundant Twitch empire to join the ever-growing ranks of streamers now broadcasting exclusively on YouTube. Sykkuno, who recently went from the OfflineTV house to temporarily room with Valkyrae, has been broadcasting easy-viewing variety streams that quickly convert interested audiences into regular viewers. Well, that audience eventually made him a hot commodity in the streaming wars. The writing was on the wall ahead of his Twitch switch which made him YouTube’s latest exclusive signing. Fans noted when Sykkuno removed ‘Twitch partner’ from his Twitter bio a day before the reveal and were clued in later that the steamer was temporarily staying with Valkyrae to take care of some business in LA. Sykkuno made the official announcement on May 2, 2022 – nearly two years after his meteoric rise to fame in 2020. Now, he and Valkyrae both stream on the same platform, where Sykkuno boasts 2.68 million subscribers. Does Sykkuno sell merchandise? Sykkuno launched his very first merchandise line in April 2022. The line includes an array of t-shirts, striped green scarves, and even green hoodies with a little sprout on the top to represent his iconic Among Us character. Fans can cop Sykkuno’s merch at the official online store. Why does Sykkuno cover his mouth when smiling? If you watch Sykkuno, even briefly, you may pick up on a peculiar habit of his – he will often cover his mouth when laughing or smiling. Sykkuno has explained that he covers his mouth because people had made fun of him, and he so he formed a habit of putting his hand over his face. Fans have encouraged him to break the habit, as the streamer has a perfectly normal smile. In July 2019, Sykkuno had around 16.5 followers on Twitch; just a year later, he was at 250,000. And in the months following August, he breezed past a million followers on Twitch, and sat at 4 million before his switch to YouTube in 2022.

  • Who is Sydney Jo on TikTok? TikToker goes viral after getting stuck in chair – Dexerto

    Who is Sydney Jo on TikTok? TikToker goes viral after getting stuck in chair TikTok: Sydney JoTikToker Sydney Jo has gone hugely viral after a post of her getting stuck in a chair required her to draft in the fire department to help her out. When it first started, TikTok was pretty much all about dancing and singing posts, but it’s become a lot more than that as time has gone on. The video-sharing app has become more and more like Vine, where amongst all the talented performers, you’ll find hilarious skits, trends, pranks, and much more. In the last few days, one post has gone super viral after TikToker Sydney Jo needed the help of the fire department to get her out of a chair after she got stuck in it, and some viewers couldn’t quite believe it. Who is Sydney Jo on TikTok? The 27-year-old from Denver has been posting for quite some time on TikTok, averaging a few thousand views with each post. However, on June 9, she started blowing up after she got stuck in a metal folding chair. Some fans offered up ideas on how she could get out of it, including getting someone to unscrew the legs. Yet, she needed the fire department’s ‘jaws of life’ tool to actually escape. The TikToker captured the whole thing, including the surprise of the firemen who must have assumed she was joking at first. The post showing what happened quickly exploded, racking up over seven million views. As some commenters had their fun with things and questioned just how she got stuck, Sydney explained that she’d tried getting out but it wouldn’t budge. That’s where the fire department was drafted in and ended up saving her from being stuck for too much longer. While some viewers may have assumed it was fake at first, it was actually a real situation that needed resolving. If anyone tries to copy the TikToker and go viral themselves, well, be prepared to be stuck for a little while.

  • Who is sydneyplus on TikTok? Fictional influencer incites outrage – Dexerto

    Who is sydneyplus on TikTok? Fictional influencer incites outrage TikTok: @thatsthetia, @sydneyplusA TikToker’s warning about red flags on dating apps is causing a stir on social media after it was learned that the influencer, ‘sydneyplus,’ isn’t actually a real person. The name ‘sydneyplus’ might be a familiar one to TikTok regulars. In June, a number of outlets reported on sydney’s video discussing red flags that users might see on dating apps (like posing in front of an expensive car that probably isn’t theirs, or claiming they’re an “entrepreneur”). Sydneyplus claimed to work at a dating app company, and as such, had a better read on who would make for a successful partner… but it turns out that this influencer doesn’t actually know the ins and outs of Tinder, after all. Months after the TikTok was published, Vox’s Rebecca Jennings reported that syndeyplus is actually a character being played by an actress, and not a dating app insider. Sydney’s character was actually created by a media company named FourFront, and is part of a much larger operation that includes a slew of other faux influencers. Other fake TikTokers involved in the project include Tia, who is sidelined by the shocking information that her boyfriend is African Royalty, Ollie, a trans man who learns that his father has transitioned, and Carmen, who dubs herself an “Undisputed hottie, Fictional sugarbabe.” What’s most shocking about this rabbit-hole of fake influencers is the sheer amount of followers they’ve managed to accrue. Sydney boasts a jaw-dropping half-million followers, while Tia has garnered 110,000 fans and Carmen a fair 66,000. Prior to Jenning’s eye-opening report, TechCrunch also divulged that FourFront had raised a whopping $1.5 million in seed funding in their efforts to define “a new type of storytelling.” The storylines of these TikTokers have gained the attention of users on social media, where they are none too pleased about the fabrication — but especially by FourFront co-founder Ilan Benjamin’s statement that he’s essentially “creating an MCU-style universe of characters on TikTok.” https://twitter.com/ChrisDeLeon/status/1450895630226710530?s=20 https://twitter.com/Saavykas/status/1450969524161896448?s=20 I think the thing I find most disturbing about influencers who sell themselves as a product is when they have kids and they incorporate the kids into their branding and persona. It’s so unscrupulous. The kids are too young to consent — Moniza Hossain (@moniza_hossain) October 21, 2021 Of course, these are far from the first “fake” influencers out there. Instagram boasts a slew of fake CGI models, and the VTuber phenomenon has proven to be a hugely successful venture that media companies like Hololive have chased out on, big time. All in all, it seems that FourFront’s TikTok project is inciting a conversation on consent and believability online — how are users supposed to tell between what’s real and what’s fake in such a situation?

  • Who is Sister Cindy on TikTok? Divisive preacher sparks controversy with college videos – Dexerto

    Who is Sister Cindy on TikTok? Divisive preacher sparks controversy with college videos Instagram: sister_cindyAfter videos of her preaching at college campuses went viral on TikTok, Sister Cindy has garnered a substantial following of her own on the app — however, the messages she spreads continue to divide viewers. TikTok has a remarkable ability to get someone a huge following practically overnight, thanks to the sheer number of users on the app and its clever algorithm. Sister Cindy is one such creator who has become an infamous figure on the platform, owing to a series of videos that have gone viral of her preaching on college campuses. Who is Sister Cindy? As a self-described “campus preacher,” Cindy Smock, 63, from Indiana, has been captured in several viral videos speaking to large crowds across multiple colleges, with her now recognizable catchphrase “be a ho no mo.” She and her husband are both Evangelists. However, she has come under heavy criticism from viewers for anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, her opinion that rape victims are “an accessory to the crime,” among other controversial views. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load Videos featuring the preacher have garnered millions of views and likes over the past year, and in a bizarre twist, this has also led to her developing an ironic ‘fanbase.’ Sister Cindy dubbed “gay icon” ironically Viewers began calling Cindy a “gay icon,” flooding her videos with comments like “Sister Cindy should run for president,” and “Cindy’s drip is impeccable.” In 2021, in response to being called a gay icon, she said: “What? Me? A gay icon? How did it happen? That’s what everybody’s wondering. How did Sister Cindy become a gay icon? Well, let me tell you. There’s a new generation of gays. The Generation Z gays do not cave in to cancel culture. They don’t like to be put in a box. They’re not wanting to play the victim, and they, like Sister Cindy, can laugh at themselves.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load One commenter wrote: “I’m so confused if she’s homophobic or not.” Cindy has garnered over 400,000 followers on her own TikTok account, though it’s not clear how many of them are ironic fans, and how many of them actually believe in what she’s saying.

As stated above, many influencers and their fans have referred to this situation as them “surviving Sophia.” They recounted stories about her befriending them and claiming to need to borrow money, then never seeing it again. During the call, and in various tweets surrounding it, the influencers shared their stories. One person, Camille, claimed that she bought a plane ticket and hotel stays for Sophia, who she now says “kept trying to get over on her” by frequently requesting more money without paying it back. let me tell you about this bitch @sophiamnur pic.twitter.com/DT2o4TIItn — camille (@camiicampb) May 23, 2021 Suzy Antonyan and Jeff Wittek, members of David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad, were both also in the Twitter Space, speaking about Sophia and their experiences. Wittek revealed that he gave Sophia his credit card, as she regularly told stories of how she had been stolen from, robbed, or didn’t have a place to stay. She also allegedly spoke of how rapper Jack Harlow was obsessed with her, even suggesting that she was pregnant with his child. TikTok user Bluevibe93 posted multiple videos of the Twitter Space, including the first one, embedded here. Click here if TikTok won’t load Did Jack Harlow get Sophia Nur pregnant? At the time of writing, there is no discernible proof that Jack Harlow actually got Sophia Nur pregnant, and much of what is being accused is no more than just accusations. Mike Majlak, YouTuber and co-host of the Impaulsive podcast alongside Logan Paul, revealed that he met Sophia in Atlanta in April 2021, alleging that she met Jack Harlow “and many others” that night. for reference, this video is from Atlanta from SIX MONTHS AGO the night Jake beat askren. this was also the night she first met harlow and many others. — Mike Majlak (@mikemajlak) November 19, 2021 Jack was trending on Twitter as a result of the unfolding drama, but he hasn’t yet spoken publicly about Sophia, whether he impregnated her or whether he even knows her. Did Sophia Nur really scam influencers for $11m? There have been many tweets and posts online suggesting that Sophia scammed these influencers and celebrities for a total of $11m. This figure appears to be unsubstantiated, with the figure not being provided or mentioned throughout the Twitter Space. The accusations point to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, being earned through her “scams” — but $11m might be overstepping the mark. Internet trolls influencers Many people hearing about the story struggled to feel sympathy for these LA influencers, sharing jokes and memes in abundance. Knight Tasia said that “y’all are just dumb,” while Asia used TikTok star Khaby Lame to make them see the error in their ways. You literally gave her your credit card number and let her in your home and then believed her lies without fact checking and etc. that’s not a mental illness y’all are just dumb. #SurvivingSophia pic.twitter.com/yRPlOqlox7 — knight tasia⁷ bridgerton 3 spoilers (@YOONGISPHASES) November 19, 2021 https://twitter.com/httpasia3/status/1461566244990111744?s=20 Sophia’s Twitter account was quickly deactivated, though has since been taken over by someone joking about the drama and writing unsavory or derogatory tweets. Whether we ever hear Sophia’s side of the story remains to be seen.

  • Who is Shakshuka girl? Woman gets death threats over viral breakfast video – Dexerto

    Who is Shakshuka girl? Woman gets death threats over viral breakfast video Unsplash.com: Manny NB, TikTok: pmdpodA woman has received death threats after posting about her lazy Saturday Shakshuka breakfast, sparking a major debate on social media. For single folks without children, the weekends can be a blissful reprieve from the daily grind of the workweek… while parents still have to tend to their kids on their days off. 29-year-old TikToker Julia Mazur’s Saturday morning looks starkly different from that of parents her age. She detailed her AM routine being a single, child-free woman on TikTok after going to a Beyoncé concert the night before and not getting home until 1 AM. “Every time I thought, ‘I should get up and do something,’ I thought, ‘Why? Nobody’s making me, and I’m not missing out on anything,’” she explained in her video. After scrolling through her phone, Mazur came across a picture of Shakshuka, a North African and Middle Eastern breakfast consisting of poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce. The meal looked so good that she decided to take the day to learn how to make it for herself, seeing as she didn’t have anything else to do that day. “I have no plans, and I don’t have kids, and I don’t have a husband and I don’t have errands to run,” she continued. “I can go to the grocery store and learn how to make Shakshuka.” Woman harassed after detailing her lazy Saturday morning on TikTok However, it seems that Mazur’s lazy Saturday endeavors weren’t endearing to everyone. Her video quickly went viral online as conservative commentators criticized her for not having children or tending to a household. In fact, Mazur says that she received near-constant harassment and even death threats as a result of the video going viral. “I chose not to read a majority of them, so I only know the first hour of the comments,” Mazur told Rolling Stone. “I had friends telling me not to go on Twitter. I was receiving messages on my personal Instagram calling me a whore. There were questions about my gender. They were threatening in nature and tone. I’ve slept with my alarm on every night since.” She also spoke out about the situation in a follow-up video where she detailed some of the grisly messages she received online, saying she was told that “I should actually die and never leave my house, I should be sexually assaulted, I’m pathetic, I’m a whore…” you get the gist. The conversation sparking around Mazur’s simple TikTok video has brought up issues of women’s rights and the cost of being a parent in today’s world, resulting in Mazur getting bestowed with the nickname ‘Shakshuka Girl.’ Even the likes of billionaire and TV producer Mark Cuban got in on the conversation on X, clapping back at Mazur’s critics in a post that went viral. This isn’t the first time a TikToker has sparked a battle of the sexes online. Recently, a woman claimed she was hit in the face with a brick after refusing to give a guy her number — but instead of sympathy, she got hit with a slew of harassing comments on her social media accounts.

  • Who is Sidequest Therapy on TikTok? User deletes account after “trauma dump” video – Dexerto

    Who is Sidequest Therapy on TikTok? User deletes account after “trauma dump” video TikTokA TikTok user has disappeared from the platform following widespread backlash, caused by a video in which they described a therapy session as a “trauma dump.” Sidequesttherapy, as they were called on TikTok, was condemned for their use of language. Although generally known for lighthearted dancing, lip-syncing and comedy videos, TikTok also has a more serious side. Some users dedicate their accounts to very specific topics, such as mental or physical health. Just like other social media platforms though, the information provided isn’t always of the highest quality, as anyone is free to post and share “knowledge”, regardless of their expertise. Sidequest therapy, qualifications unknown, provided their takes on topics around mental health and therapy. However, one of her last videos, before deleting the account, criticized one of her clients for “trauma dumping.” Sidequesttherapy backlash for “trauma dump” TikTok The term ‘trauma dump’ is typically used to describe someone explaining their personal trauma, unsolicited and in an inappropriate setting. Sidequesttherapy had captioned the video “not on my watch.” Read More: What is TikTok’s Discover List? – But, users were quick to condemn the suggestion that a therapy client could “trauma dump” considering it is partly the intention of receiving therapy. “Is it ‘trauma dumping’ if you’re literally their therapist,” asked Twitter user @diligenda, in a now-viral tweet. https://twitter.com/diligenda/status/1450531852054409224 Others mocked the idea of a therapist being critical of “trauma dumping.” Imagine trying to open up about private trauma to your therapist and they’re just like “”Hiya! I’m sorry, I’m not in the headspace to receive this information right now!”” — Atreides nuts (@chrissky_) October 19, 2021 Since the backlash picked up, not just on Twitter but in countless TikTok video replies, the original post has been deleted, along with the user’s whole account. It’s unclear if they are in fact a qualified therapist, but other videos on their account, shared by screenshots, also mention ‘clients’ and sharing experiences. Users have criticized this content as potentially damaging, were a client of theirs to find the videos themselves. There is usually a strict confidentiality clause in place between a client and a professional therapist, which would make these videos more problematic, if ‘sidequesttherapy’ is in fact a therapist.

  • Who is ‘scar girl’ on TikTok? Influencer’s facial scar sparks debate – Dexerto

    Who is ‘scar girl’ on TikTok? Influencer’s facial scar sparks debate Instagram: annbonelliTikTok’s ‘scar girl’ is taking over the platform — but not everyone is convinced the influencer’s facial scar is real. Here’s everything you need to know about this viral creator. TikTok is known for making trends and people go viral from time to time, but the latest content creator to take over the app is stirring up quite the debate over her unique facial feature. TikToker Ann Bonelli, also known as ‘Annie,’ boasts a dark facial scar on the left side of her face. However, this particular feature has caused her to come under fire, as many users aren’t convinced that it’s actually real. Most viewers point out the dark coloring of the scar, while others are certain that she allegedly draws it on before recording videos, claiming that the scar purportedly “moves” around her face. One netizen even uploaded a video comparing older clips of the TikToker’s scar compared to her newer videos… and viewers admit that it’s quite a change. Some commenters even claim that she’s committed to a particular “bit” and is simply playing a character. However, others aren’t shy about saying they believe the TikToker really has a scar — a controversy that she has addressed in a few of her videos. Is “scar girl’s” scar actually real? TikToker responds to backlash Annie claims that she actually has two scars, which is why older videos of the influencer show her with a lighter, shorter scar. According to the TikToker, she received a chemical burn on top of her original scar, causing it to darken. She also claims that viewers “can’t tell” the scar is raised because she uses a beauty filter, causing it to look as if it were drawn on top of her skin with makeup. The influencer says she was first injured in March 2020 and originally attempted to cover up the cut with cosmetics. She claims that her skin had a poor reaction to a topical cream she used trying to fade it, resulting in the dark scar she has today. “It should get better with time, but unfortunately, all of my scars do still heal brown,” she explained. “While I don’t think it’s right that people mindlessly comment hate for whatever reason it is, I do make a decision to put myself out on the internet. My account was made to show those out there, they’re more than their scars.” According to board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons, scars can develop a brown coloring if they are exposed to sunlight during the healing process. For now, Annie is still posting content on TikTok in spite of all the negative attention, where she spreads awareness about body positivity and self-love. She’s just the latest influencer to go viral on the platform after a young boy, called ‘Topher,’ took over the app by kickstarting a hilarious viral trend.

  • Who is Samantha Peer on TikTok? Teacher scandal explained – Dexerto

    Who is Samantha Peer on TikTok? Teacher scandal explained UNSPLASH: JONAS LEUPEMiddle school teacher Samantha Peer has been trending on TikTok for all the wrong reasons. Here is everything we know. A Lake Havasu City couple, who are both teachers, have been terminated from their employment for purportedly making explicit content on school grounds. Samantha Peer filmed the inappropriate content with her husband Dillion Peer, and shared it to her TikTok and Instagram accounts. As a result, students who were following the teacher on the platforms were able to watch the video, which led to the teachers’ expulsion. The Lake Havasu Unified School District Human Resources stated in their report, that Samantha and Dillion were fired on October 31 and November 4, 2022, respectively. According to a Lake Havasu student’s mother, the clip showed the teachers performing adult acts on the school desks. Kristina Minor, one of the parents, said: “That was my friend’s daughter’s desk. And she is mortified over the situation. [The teacher] doesn’t care knowing students have seen her everything and on students’ desks. “I’m a taxpayer. I am not paying these teachers to film p*rnography. They’re being paid to teach our kids, and set high standards for them.” School alerts parents about incident On November 7, the Thunderbolt administration, where Samantha worked, sent an email to parents about students sharing the explicit footage with each other. The email read: “The images depicted did not happen during the school day and the person depicted no longer works for LHUSD.” Thunderbolt Middle School also requested parents remove the explicit content from their children’s phones and counsel their children about appropriately using technology. Samantha reportedly had an OnlyFans account under a different name, and used social media platforms like TikTok to promote her content. Alea Bilski, a parent from the Lake Havasu school district, said she discovered Samantha had a link to her OnlyFans account on social media accounts under her real name. She also claimed the school only alerted parents after she posted about it on Facebook.

  • Who is Savannah Sparks? TikToker going viral by calling out healthcare misinformation – Dexerto

    Who is Savannah Sparks? TikToker going viral by calling out healthcare misinformation TikTok: Savannah SparksA TikTok user, who also works as a doctor, has gone viral on the app after calling out other users for spreading misinformation around the current health crisis. Savannah Sparks, a 31-year-old doctor based in Mississippi, goes by the TikTok handle ‘r0xorcist’ on the platform. As a medical professional and self-professed advocate of “call-out culture”, Sparks has made it her mission to hold people spreading misinformation about the current situation to account. She does this as part of a tongue-in-cheek series on the app she calls “Petty Journals Club” with Sav.” In an interview with NBC, Savannah explained that through this series, she discovered a disturbing trend – a lot of the people spreading misinformation about vaccinations, masks and even advising viewers on how to get around lockdown restrictions were working in the health sector themselves. In one video, which amassed 4.9 million views, she took down an anti-masker named Marissa who went on a flight wearing a fake mask while bragging “nobody’s gonna know.” Unfortunately, with Savannah exposing her Facebook page, contacting the airline she flew with and also exposing her for prescribing supplements without any medical training, it looks like people are going to know after all. She initially went viral in March after a video, amassed 3.3 million views, detailed how she identified a TikToker falsifying vaccine records and reported them to their employer upon discovering that they worked as a nurse. The TikTok caused a huge backlash among some areas of TikTok, with many commenters accusing Sparks of “doxxing” the user and “ruining their life.” This led to her having her own information leaked and on 28 March, announced that she would be leaving TikTok as a result of the abuse. However, she has since returned to the app and is continuing to work to hold people spreading misinformation to account. She told NBC: “Anything that forces somebody to change their way of thinking … it makes them angry. So, keeping that in mind, the fact that I’m doing this to so many people, I accept I’m doing exactly what I need to be doing, and I’m exactly where I need to be.”

  • Who is Sam Postar on TikTok? Users are calling for his ban – Dexerto

    Who is Sam Postar on TikTok? Users are calling for his ban TikTok: apologize400Who is Sam Postar on TikTok? Users of the short-form video platform are calling for his ban, but why are they doing it? Here’s everything we know about the TikToker. TikTok has been the home of viral content since 2016. It has also helped create multiple celebrities like Charli & Dixie D’Amelio, Addison Rae, and more. Sometimes the platform can help ‘anonymous’ creators go viral through just a hashtag, like MrPancake343 who has amassed over 147m views on his hashtag. Now, Sam Postar is going viral with users calling for Sam to be banned from the platform. Here’s everything we know about the TikToker, as well as why he may be going viral. Sam Postar on TikTok The most interesting aspect of Sam is that his TikTok account is private, but he has almost three million followers. On top of that, the hashtag ‘sampostar’ has been viewed almost nine million times and is full of videos with the caption “How is @SamPostar not banned?” One user uploaded a video that seems to explain the whole scenario. Apparently, the TikToker posted a video to his account that started the whole movement. It reads, “Tryna go viral on TikTok? Make a video saying ‘how is @sampostar not banned.’ We have had over 4m views from people doing this with zero followers. Good luck.” (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) https://www.tiktok.com/@all_gaming25/video/7107684606262054190?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=6916636174712325638 Because Sam’s TikTok account is set to private, we’re unable to use an analytics tracking website like Socialblade to see how long he’s been active on the platform. However, looking at the videos using his accompanying hashtag, it appears that Sam’s plan has been going around the platform for about a week at the time of writing.

  • Who is Sam Ramsdell? TikToker goes viral for huge mouth – Dexerto

    Who is Sam Ramsdell? TikToker goes viral for huge mouth Instagram: Sam RamsdellImagine being able to eat a whole subway sandwich without taking small bites from the side. TikToker Samantha Ramsdell has got viewers in a frenzy after her video taking giant bites from a Subway meal went viral. [jwplayer ZXB9LNVP] The reason TikTok is so obsessed with this one particular creator is not just because of her impressive ability to eat a sandwich, it’s what allows her to do so: she has a really big mouth. Sam even claims that she could eat the whole thing in just two bites. TikTok is completely enthralled by it and have not held back with their reactions. In response to the sandwich video, one person wrote, “I would never let you take ‘one bite’ from my food.” Another person wrote, “Me and my lockjaw could never.” Others suggested that she earn money from mukbangs, or asked if she was using a filter. Sam seems to spend a lot of her time answering questions all about how she goes about life with such a big mouth, including “How do you laugh?”, “How do you eat in formal places?,” and “Does it hurt?” When one person asked how she eats an apple, she responded with a TikTok of her shoving an entire apple in her mouth. Amazingly, she doesn’t seem to take offense, even when someone said she looked like Connie in Coneheads, and instead uses it as an opportunity to laugh at herself and inform people, keenly demonstrating all the different ways she can stretch her mouth and even showing viewers photos from her childhood. The subway sandwich clip alone has had more than 12 million views, and Sam has lamented the fact that only the videos about how big her mouth is getting hits, despite that she is also a talented singer. Sam has now amassed more than 700,000 followers and 19.2 million likes across her videos on TikTok.

  • Who is Ryan Trahan? YouTuber goes viral for extreme MrBeast roadtrip videos – Dexerto

    Who is Ryan Trahan? YouTuber goes viral for extreme MrBeast roadtrip videos YouTube: Curiosity Stream, Ryan TrahanRyan Trahan is taking over YouTube, garnering millions of views per video thanks to his extreme budgeting skills that are drawing eyes from across the net… all with the goal of meeting MrBeast. There are a few YouTubers who fans can say, with confidence, are the cream of the crop. Names like MrBeast, Markiplier, and PewDiePie roll off the tongue easily; they regularly accrue millions of views per video and have undeniable presences as content powerhouses on the internet. However, a new name is rising in the ranks… and it’s all thanks to his comparatively small-budget projects. Ryan Trahan started his channel nearly a decade ago in 2013. Since then, he’s garnered over 8 million subscribers and hits an average of 89 million views per month, according to statistics from Social Blade. That’s not the most impressive part of it, though; Trahan posts a video every single day, which have all managed to gain around 5 million views each, give or take a few. Very few YouTubers can upload daily content to the tune of millions of views, but Trahan is well on his way. But what is it about his content that’s making people so interested? To put it plainly, Trahan is living on an extreme budget, all for the end goal of traveling across America to meet MrBeast — starting with just one penny. Trahan has collaborated with MrBeast in the past, notably joining him for the Creator Games last year. View this post on Instagram His exploits have seen him travel from California to Denver, Colorado. MrBeast is located in North Carolina, so Ryan is in for quite the road trip on his quest to cross the country with pocket change and a dream. With MrBeast getting involved, there’s no telling how this project will eventually end… but, knowing Donaldson, it’s likely to include some sort of huge grand finale. (The man literally recreated Willy Wonka’s fully-edible chocolate factory, after all.) Thus, it’s no surprise that viewers are eagerly tuning in to Ryan’s travels every single day to see how he’s faring. He’s currently 10 days into his journey and has raised $233,000 for Feeding America, a fundraiser he’s organized as part of his massive project. It’s clear that Trahan’s got something big going for him and viewers are anxious to see how this ordeal turns out, firmly placing him on the roadmap to YouTube success.

    Who is Ryan Narciso? Viral TikToker harmonizing Pokimane, Valkyrae, Tommyinnit & more Instagram: Ryan NarcisoA musician’s TikTok account has recently gone viral as he combined his love for acapella with popular Twitch personalities’ streams. Canada-based singer, Ryan Narciso, has been part of online creator communities for a long time. He’s been posting covers of songs on his YouTube channel since 2010, but like a lot of content creators, he has been trying to build more of a profile on TikTok. However, when it comes to his content on TikTok, there’s a twist. As a fan of popular Twitch streamers like Pokimane, Tommyinnit, Dream, and Valkyrae, Narciso decided to make popular moments in these streamers’ livestreams a little more memorable by providing acapella harmonies in the background. With the cumulative likes of his videos reaching 2.8 million, it is clear that there’s a lot of people out there enjoying Ryan’s remix of their favorite streamers. Read More: Who is Addison Rae dating? – The most popular video on Narciso’s account right now, which stands at 3.7 million views, was uploaded on April 2. This video shows him remixing a recent Among Us game hosted by content creator JackSepticEye. As he rushes to find the Imposter with the likes of PewDiePie and Sykkuno, Narciso remixed the moment he begged for his life before he was killed by Toast, who was one of the game’s imposters. With this being the account’s most popular video, it seems the remix even caught the attention of Jack himself, with Narciso Tweeting that “when Jack Septic Eye himself reacts to your TikToks, you have to at least mention it!” Some of his other most popular videos include an acapella version of Tommyinnit screaming “what the hell” at Dream during a game of Minecraft and a remix of Valkyrae’s shrieks of fear as she plays horror game Little Nightmares 2. These videos amassed 1.2 million and 1.4 million respectively. With the Tommyinnit remix only being posted 20 hours ago at the time of writing, the fact that it has already reached 1.2 million views suggests that Ryan’s content is only going to get more popular from here.

  • Who is Ruby Franke? 8 Passengers YouTube mom arrested for child abuse – Dexerto

    Who is Ruby Franke? 8 Passengers YouTube mom arrested for child abuse YouTube: 8PassengersRuby Franke, the mother from divisive YouTube family channel ‘8 Passengers,’ has been arrested on two counts of aggravated child abuse. Here’s everything we know so far. Family channels have long been a subject of debate online, with many netizens discussing the ethics of filming one’s young children without their consent for the entire world to see, using their important milestones for content. For instance, two parents came under fire for filming themselves vlogging their child’s report card back in 2020, while other channels like the Ace Family have faced criticism for similar instances in the past. Now, another family channel is facing serious scrutiny after the mother, Ruby Franke, was arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Who is Ruby Franke from 8 Passengers? 41-year-old Ruby Franke is a mom of six children: Shari, Chad, Abby, Julie, Russell, and Eve. Both she and her husband, Kevin Franke, are Mormon, and together founded their now-deleted family channel 8 Passengers back in 2015. 8 Passengers followed the Franke family throughout their daily lives, and amassed over 2.3 million subscribers before speculation started gathering around their activities around 2020. During this time, Ruby and Kevin Franke began to be suspected of mistreating their children. The criticism first sparked after their son claimed his bedroom had been “taken away” for seven months for pulling a prank on his little brother, leaving him to sleep on a beanbag for nearly half a year. Over time, the family began posting less frequently, and more and more accusations came to light about the Franks. The couple became closely connected to ConneXions, a family counseling service, where they gave parenting advice that many saw as abusive. For instance, in one of ConneXions’ videos, they allegedly claimed they’d pulled their children out of school and gave them no Christmas gifts as punishment for “acting selfish.” On August 30, 2023, it was reported that both Ruby and ConneXions founder Jodi Hildebrandt had been arrested on two counts of aggravated child abuse each. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office stated that the two women were taken into custody for “intentionally or knowingly committing aggravated child abuse,” as per Fox 13. According to NBC news, the arrest was made after a child had escaped from a home in Ivins, Utah and ran to a neighbor for help. They were described as malnourished and with open wounds, with duct tape covering their extremities. Another child was also found in the same home in a similar condition – a home belonging to Jodi Hildebrandt. Since the arrest, 20-year-old Shari Franke has taken to her Instagram account to make several statements about the situation, notably posting a photo of a police car and an officer, writing: “Finally.” “Me and my family are so glad justice is being served,” she wrote in another post. “We’ve been trying to tell the police and CPS for years about this, and so glad they decided to finally step up. Kids are safe, but there’s a long road ahead.” At the time of writing, no other information has come to light about Franke’s arrest — but we’ll make sure to keep you updated on the situation right here at Dexerto.

  • Who is Repullze? Warzone streamer with more Twitch subs than Swagg & TimTheTatman – Dexerto

    Who is Repullze? Warzone streamer with more Twitch subs than Swagg & TimTheTatman Twitter, @RepullzeA relatively random Call of Duty: Warzone streamer, Repullze, has soared past 40,000 Twitch subscribers and up to sixth most-subs on the platform overall — giving him more than household names like TimTheTatman and Swagg. Twitch is a very competitive world to get your footing in, but once you’ve solidified your audience and genre, the sky’s the limit. Similarly, Call of Duty’s battle royale, Warzone, has become an incredibly competitive genre itself — with hundreds of talented streamers vying for viewers’ attention daily. Near the top of Twitch’s Warzone category, you find streamers like TimTheTatman and Swagg. The former has 6.4 million followers on Twitch and another 2.4 million on Twitter, the latter has 1.5 million on Twitch and 321.6K on Twitter. Somehow, some way, both have thousands fewer subscribers than Repullze — who has…93K followers on Twitch and 19K on Twitter. On April 8, Repullze’s community, known as the Sexy Boys Club, proved just how generous and passionate they are by getting the streamer to 40K subs, sixth-most on the platform. For context, despite having so many more followers across platforms, TimTheTatman has 35.1K and Swagg has 19.1K. Who is Repullze? Captain of the Sexy Boys Club Unbelievable. 40K subs on Twitch. I cant even believe I’m typing this right now. The #SBC is truly built different 🥺❤️ pic.twitter.com/sjSmxprHzz — रepullze (@Repullze) April 9, 2021 If you’ve tuned into Swagg or DiazBiffle’s streams at any point, you’ve probably noticed Repullze — or, as they call him, Hector. A ball of ‘romantic’ energy, he and LuckyChamu are often flying around causing mayhem and making inappropriate sounds at maximum energy. With Lucky and Biffle, Repullze forms a triumvirate known as the Baka Bros. The trio has held tournaments together, played countless streams with top streamers like NICKMERCS and Aydan, while building out their own communities the entire time. They drop 30- and 40-bombs on the regular, despite seeming less focused than a muddy camera lens. For Repullze, that community seems to have taken things to a new, top-10 level. Following a ridiculous 30,384 gifted subs in February, the Sexy Boys Club has soared up the Twitch standings — reaching sixth overall on April 8. I’ve been exposed…Certified subbotter 😭 pic.twitter.com/6RytQePtyR — रepullze (@Repullze) March 29, 2021 Such a large surge in subscribers is sure to come with question marks, especially for a streamer who averages about 1.4K viewers — far fewer than the big names his sub count has surpassed. Repullze appears acutely aware of that, poking fun at those who think he uses a sub bot when accounts like “subbot12345678929” randomly gift him 50 subs. It’s unclear exactly what has driven Repullze’s flight up the Twitch subs rankings. It could be him slapping his own derriere, jamming out to music, or distorting his voice so he sounds like an airplane pilot on the intercom while flying a helicopter. Whatever it is, the Baka Bros don’t seem to have been lying when they said they were going to the moon.

The sixth most-watched Warzone Twitch streamer in March, she has overtaken some of the biggest names in the game. But who is Primroze? While Warzone has faced its own issues in recent months, with complaints from players regarding the state of the game, there are many creators still thriving on the title. In March 2023, Russian star Recrent took the top spot for viewership, followed by French phenom Chowh1, according to stats from SullyGnome. Alongside established names like Fifakill, Nadia, and HusKerrs, though, there’s one name that isn’t quite as widely known in the Warzone space, with Primroze accruing more than 400,000 hours watched throughout the month. Featured on the front page of Twitch throughout March as part of Women’s history month, Primroze is helping break ground for female streamers in the space. Here’s who she is, and how she isn’t letting the trolls get to her. Who is Primroze? Primroze started streaming in January 2019 while in her third year of college, studying broadcast journalism. Playing Fortnite, and with her broadcast education, she says it “felt natural” talking to a camera. Over the following years, she switched between games, grinding Madden since 2020 before her more recent switch to Warzone. While she has played Warzone since it was released, she “never focused” on the Call of Duty battle royale hit until November 2022, with the launch of Warzone 2 and the new BR experience it brought. Success in Women’s History Month on Twitch The switch clearly worked, and she was recognized by Twitch to feature as part of their Women’s History Month campaign, celebrating women across the platform, bringing in a whole batch of new viewers to her stream. “I honestly don’t even know how I got that opportunity but I am so grateful for the exposure it brought to my stream,” Rose told Dexerto. “What I tried for March was just going live whenever I woke up and streaming for as long as I felt like I could. I never forced myself to go live at a certain time and I never forced myself to stay live for a certain amount of time. This really helped get my name out there because now I was streaming to the people waking up and getting ready for school or work in the morning, the people on their lunch breaks, the people getting home from school or work in the afternoon, the people getting ready for bed. “I was live all the time at random hours during the day so I saw new people come into my community who would’ve never seen my stream otherwise if I stuck to a specific schedule. Now, I’m able to go live at whatever time I feel is best for me and I know I’ll have people watching because I was able to grow in that way.” Addressing trolls, hate & accusations As happens often when women see success on Twitch, Primroze started to get called out on social media, with hate directed her way and accusations of faking followers, view-botting, and more. “At the end of the day, I’m a new name to the COD community,” she said. “I get that there are people out there that don’t know who I am and have never heard my name before March. I grew most of my community and most of my followers from Madden and I was able to get partnered on Twitch from Madden. None of that is fake and the people that know me from Madden know that none of that is fake.” She continued: “I received an incredible opportunity that anyone would be over the moon about. People are just jealous and love to hate on things they don’t have instead of celebrating the successes of others. I have an incredible community that has my back and will support me no matter what. I wouldn’t have received this opportunity if any of my community has been faked.” Primroze went on to add that she has the strength to ignore the trolls and whatever they might have to say. “I’ve always had really thick skin and nothing really bothers me anymore honestly. People can say whatever they want about me. They don’t know me personally. That’s what holds me over at the end of the day.”

  • Who is Peachy Bella on TikTok? Mystery account freaking users out – Dexerto

    Who is Peachy Bella on TikTok? Mystery account freaking users out Unsplash / peachy.bellaaaTikTok users have been spooked after an account by the name of Peachy Bella has been liking users’ every comment, on a scale so large that people have even started coming up with conspiracy theories surrounding the account. TikTok has cemented itself as a staple of internet culture in recent years, and has produced countless viral stars by its short-form video content, and viral trends. Though the TikTok user base certainly seems to be a curious one, as in the past several conspiracies have arisen about viral stars Charli D’Amelio and Dixie D’Amelio, claiming that their unprecedented rise to millions of followers within only a year means something bigger must be at play. While the conspiracies are dismissed by the viral stars and passed off as a little fun by viewers, people were finding themselves freaked out when they became embroiled in an ongoing TikTok conspiracy about someone by the name of Peachy Bella. Users report mass likes from Peachy Bella Over the period of a few months, reports were popping up all over the internet of a mysterious account who managed to like people’s comments within seconds of them being posted, no matter what the video. Some users even found the account liked their unlisted videos. “I can’t believe there’s a whole conspiracy on this Peachy Bella girl,” one user tweeted. “I thought I was the only one whose comments kept getting liked by her, this has been happening for months!” I CANT BELIEVE THERES A WHOLE CONSPIRACY ON THIS PEACHY BELLA GIRL I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHOSE COMMENTS KEPT GETTING LIKED BY HER THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS pic.twitter.com/M3OtxqWw1Z — kali ⚯͛ (@lqkali) November 4, 2020 https://twitter.com/cececarter8/status/1324937694074433536 https://twitter.com/abanuelos11/status/1324518760204562432 The account goes by the name of peachy.bellaaa, and has a substantial following of over 500,000 followers, and over 600,000 likes. Her bio says she “posts and deletes” content, and currently only has two videos posted, the comments disabled on both. The videos feature the same girl, though it is not clear whether she is actually the owner of the account. In a video that received over 360,000 likes, TikToker itsacrello shared his theory on the mysterious mass liker, suggesting that whoever owns the account with the like-bot is either using a random girl to catfish people and get more money, or it’s a real person who wants more TikTok followers. The link in her bio appears to lead to various premium Snapchat accounts. The comment section of itsacrello’s video was also filled with people claiming the same thing had happened to them, leaving everyone baffled at the sheer scale of the operation. Peachy Bella themselves, whoever they are, has not yet addressed the situation, and it appears the issue will continue until they decide to give up, or TikTok bans the account for good.

  • Who is PewDiePie? How the YouTube king reached over 101 million subscribers – Dexerto

    Who is PewDiePie? How the YouTube king reached over 101 million subscribers [jwplayer IX7jLp7f-dXeUz4Ko] Together with G Fuel. Buy Pewdiepie’s new flavor here. With over 101 million subscribers and rising, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is the biggest individual content creator on YouTube. Here’s how he went from a small Minecraft YouTuber to the biggest online personality in the world. PewDiePie is enjoying one of his best years yet – his channel has been boosted by his return to gaming with his popular Minecraft series, helping him to reach over 100 million YouTube subscribers. He also got married to his best friend Marzia ‘CutiePie’ Bisognin just days before smashing that mindblowing milestone. How did he reach this point? Let’s have a look back at the long journey that has taken him from his home in Gothenburg, Sweden, to becoming a global superstar – the undisputed king of YouTube. The Swede is the biggest content creator on YouTube with over 101 million subscribers. PewDiePie’s humble beginnings PewDiePie was born as Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg in Gothenburg in 1989. Growing up in the second largest city in Sweden, Pewds has said in past interviews that video games had always been a part of his life, and by the time he was a teenager, he was going to internet cafes to play them. It wasn’t until 2006, however, that he first created his YouTube account called ‘PewDie’, pew referring to the sound of a laser being fired off. However, the Swede unfortunately lost his password, and had to re-create a second account in 2010 that he called ‘PewDiePie’. An early video of PewDiePie, showing the young Swede’s humble origins on YouTube. During that same year, he was studying industrial economics at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, following in the footsteps of his parents who were both successful executives. However, in 2011, he made the decision to leave education to focus on his YouTube channel. The YouTube star’s first video on his main channel was him messing around with a friend in Minecraft. Reflecting on this video earlier in 2019, Pewdiepie said: “At the time I thought wouldn’t it be cool to become Minecraft YouTuber, and here we are nine years later!” Pewdiepie early YouTube journey In an interview with The Guardian in 2015, the Swede explained that when he first started out, he didn’t expect to make money. “I knew people were big at other types of videos, but there was no one big in gaming,” he said. However, it wasn’t the sandbox title that got him noticed – it was his horror ‘Let’s Plays’ he began in 2010 (particularly Amnesia: The Dark Descent) that made his channel explode in popularity. His fans enjoyed his comedic commentary and the way he would scream at barrels as he played. (Timestamp of 10:12 for mobile viewers.) It was in 2011 that Pewds started his ‘Fridays with PewDiePie’ weekly vlogs, where the young Swede would open up to his followers and update them on his life. It quickly became popular with viewers, and helped him connect with his fans. The following year was important for the YouTuber, as he went from 50k subs to 500k subs, his Let’s Plays – including the popular flash-based game Happy Wheels – continuing to be a smash hit with YouTube’s emerging demographics. In July 2013 he passed one million subscribers, before doubling the figure just three months later. He later signed with YouTube network Maker Studios. PewDiePie officially became the most subscribed channel on YouTube in 2013 after going from 3.5 million subs to a mindblowing 19 million by the end of the year, making him one of the fastest growing channels in the history of the video platform. By 2015 he’d amassed over 34 million subs. The Swede’s rise in viewers is record breaking. PewDiePie’s meme rebirth While the YouTube star would continue with his Let’s Plays and gaming content for years, he eventually got burnt out in 2015 and began to make changes to switch his style. In 2016, he shifted his focus towards mature humor, and doing reaction commentary videos. During a 2017 upload on his channel, the Swede reflected on this change. “In my older videos I might have seemed a lot more happy,” he admitted. “But guess what? I faked it. I thought for people to want to watch my videos I would have to be happy. And I think it’s safe to say it worked.” (Timestamp of 01:42 for mobile viewers.) YouTube announced their new premium service ‘Red’ in 2015, and Pewds flew out to Los Angeles to film ‘Scare PewDiePie’ – a series that recreated games in real life, with the Swede attempting to survive the show’s challenges with his friends. The YouTube star really started to find his new voice in 2017, when he created his new reaction series ‘Last Week I Asked You (LWIAY)’ in which he reacts to fan-created content on his subreddit. Later that year he started his iconic ‘Meme Review’, which eventually featured guests such as Elon Musk and Dr Phil reviewing memes. (Timestamp of 12:55 for mobile viewers.) T-Series Vs PewDiePie 2018 was big for PewSiePie. His reaction series had grown his channel, but the Swede had a new challenger when Indian based corporation T-Series’ began to close in on his subscriber count. The feud, called ‘T-Series vs. PewDiePie’, became a cultural phenomenon, as the entire YouTube community rallied behind the Swede with a subscriber marathon to keep him ahead of the corporate entity. YouTube star Jimmy ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson even went to Super Bowl 53 with shirts that read: ‘Sub 2 PewDiePie’. They were spotted on national television, and were an example of the lengths creators went to to keep Pewds as number one.

While T-Series eventually ended up winning the battle, Pewds got one last shot in, releasing a second diss track titled ‘Congratulations’ the day they passed him in subs, which led to the Indian company to try and sue him, although the lawsuit was eventually dropped. (Timestamp of 12:55 for mobile viewers.) Minecraft mania PewDiePie made his triumphant return to gaming on June 21, 2019 when he surprised fans with a new Minecraft series that took the video platform by storm. Often dubbed the ‘PewDiePie effect’, the Swede playing the 10 year old sandbox game made it a massive hit again.

A render of PewDiePie’s elaborate Minecraft world he calls ‘Broland’. Millions tune in to see him adventure in the sandbox game. The series is full of lore and saw the Swede create cinematic episodes like his battle with the Wither and his epic showdown with the Ender Dragon, while having more emotional moments like his August 11 episode where he held a wedding for his dog Sven that was surprisingly moving. During his update Vlog on August 18, he reflected on the fact that his Minecraft success had brought his channel back to his roots. “Having that moment when I started off, I never thought I would relive that ever,” said PewDiePie. “I never thought I would experience that again and I’m so happy.” (Timestamp of 04:59 for mobile viewers.) 100 million subs and marriage After nine years on the platform, PewDiePie broke the 100 million subscriber milestone on August 25, making him the first individual to do so, and the biggest content creator in the world. As if that wasn’t incredible enough, the Swede revealed on August 20 that he and his longtime girlfriend Marzia had got married the day before. And rounding out the his incredible year of success, he announced that they’d bought a house in Japan. We are married!!! I’m the happiest I can be :heart:️ I’m so lucky to share my life with this amazing woman. pic.twitter.com/RA3iKAgMOs — ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) August 20, 2019 PewDiePie has come a long way from his YouTube beginnings, an emotional journey that has seen him grow up on screen. “It’s been a rocky road,” he admitted. “I appreciate everyone sticking through with me, throughout all the controversies.” PewDiePie’s ability to navigate the trends, and change up his style at the right time, while also doing what makes him happy, is what has helped him become one of the most influential entertainers in this decade, and he shows no signs of slowing down.

    Who is Olivia Jade? YouTuber receives backlash amid college bribery scandal YouTube: Olivia JadeOlivia Jade, a popular YouTuber with almost 2 million subscribers, is suddenly at the center of massive controversy, and even legal trouble, after her mother, actress Lori Loughlin, allegedly paid bribes of $500,000 to get her daughter into a prestigious college. Known for makeup, fashion and lifestyle videos, Olivia Jade was a rising star on YouTube, but now her channel is being flooded with dislikes, and comments have been disabled on all of her uploads. Making matters worse, in one vlog, Jade states that she “doesn’t really care about school”, despite attending the University of Southern California (USC) on what now appears to be dubious grounds.

Her Twitter account too has also been boosted, with 8,000 new followers in two days, but it’s not necessarily the kind of followers she will want to attract, as Twitter has been particularly negative towards to social media star.

Fellow actress Felicity Huffman is also charged with similar offences, as she apparently paid $15,000 for her daughter’s SAT to be corrected where wrong answers had been given.

  • Rising Creators: Who is Nic D? Music artist takes over TikTok with viral love songs – Dexerto

    Rising Creators: Who is Nic D? Music artist takes over TikTok with viral love songs Soundcloud: Nic DWho is Nic D? The versatile Virginia-based artist has spread like wildfire on TikTok and Spotify with his love songs. Here’s everything you need to know about this viral songwriter. These days, it’s no longer a secret that TikTok is an incredible platform for artists to get their music out into the world. From the success stories of up-and-comers like Olivia Rodrigo and Trevor Daniel to newfound glory for established artists such as Lewis Capaldi, there seems to be no limit to how high the bite-sized media platform can elevate someone’s music. That’s the exact kind of success that Nic D is hoping to find for himself through his fun but equally heartfelt songs. While it’s impossible to know who’s going to reach that level of success, the 30-year-old sensation is certainly on his way up the ladder. Who is Nic D? Nicolas Donovan, better known on the internet as Nic D, is a recording artist based out of Culpeper, VA. Between his music and his hugely successful podcast, he’s collected over 2 million combined followers on TikTok, as well 40+ million streams on Spotify alone. With an energetic and fun-forward approach to music and content creation, the singer-songwriter produces absolute earworms. At the same time, he never fails to bring the laughs on the FRDi (Feels Right Don’t it) show that he hosts with his videographer and overall partner-in-crime, Cakes Mitchell. What kind of music does Nic D make? While some fans view him primarily as a pop artist, Donovan’s catalog contains a surprisingly deep mixture of sounds and styles. From the smooth R&B feel of a track like “Intentions” to the light and playful sounds of his biggest hit “Fine Apple” (which landed him a Bryce Vine remix), it’s not easy to pin a label on his musical stylings. This is due in part to his prolific work rate. In the three years since he started releasing music, Nic D has pushed out more than 70 songs, as well as a 16 track album titled “This Can’t Be It” in 2020. The easiest recurring theme to identify in all of the tracks is unquestionably the concept of love. As both a husband and a father, the rapper paints vivid pictures of what matters to him the most. In the track “Serotonin,” he touches on the idea of being with a significant forever in the chorus while also comparing himself to the suave bank robber Danny Ocean in the process. That kind of slick-yet-earnest wordplay has worked out well for the Virginia native, as he currently holds 1.2 million monthly listeners as of January 2022. Outside of music, Donovan and Mitchell’s podcast has also found major success on TikTok. The show, which has a separate account from both of its hosts, has racked up nearly 1.5 million followers and more than 40 million likes on the app. Although it’s still early in his career, Nic has already proved that he has what it takes to make a living in the entertainment industry, and it certainly looks like his current wave of success won’t be ending any time soon.

  • Who is Mold Girl on TikTok? Woman’s horrifying apartment issues go viral – Dexerto

    Who is Mold Girl on TikTok? Woman’s horrifying apartment issues go viral Instagram: @elenasretenovic / TikTok: @tallgurlA Nevada woman’s battle with her landlord over mold in her apartment is taking TikTok by storm, leaving viewers horrified and concerned for her health. In December 2021, TikTok user ‘tallgurl’ (real name Elena Stetenevoic) posted a full-scale epic tale to the video platform detailing her issues with her landlord. According to the TikToker, she and her roommates were constantly suffering from fevers, headaches, and other symptoms consistent with mold exposure. She ordered a mold test kit from Amazon and decided to swab a vent in the home that was rife with mold. Once the sample started growing, she alerted her landlord of the situation — but it seems they didn’t agree with her findings. Instead, they replaced the vent and sprayed it with Lysol to “kill” the mold. It took a doctor’s note to order a mold inspection of the place, which the landlord was happy to pay for… on the condition that it was, in fact, mold. If not, the tenants would be “liable for the fees.” Elena posted a few more updates, claiming that a mold inspector had come to look at the house, who ultimately didn’t seem too concerned about the issue. Click here if TikTok fails to load. The results came up as passable in the inspector’s tests, leaving her and her roommates responsible for the costs. “They did detect mold spores in the air, but they were not in a quantity that was too high for us to breathe in, basically,” Elena explained. In another update, Elena claimed that she’d been contacted by several other people claiming to be tenants under her landlord within the same neighborhood, who also said they had similar experiences with health issues in their homes. Woman goes viral over mold in her apartment It was after this update that Elena began to lean into the nickname ‘mold girl,’ which the internet had given her after becoming invested in her tale of moldy woe. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like much has changed for TikTok’s resident ‘mold girl.’ On February 3, she posted an update to the situation after being featured on Snapchat Discover. “To be honest, not much has changed,” she revealed. “We still have mold, our landlord still doesn’t care, we still can’t afford lawyers, we still don’t know our rights.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. That isn’t stopping commenters from giving her frequent advice — especially after an independent lab claimed she was living with three different species of mold, including penicillin, which can “trigger allergic reactions.” Elena’s initial viral video has amassed over 9 million views at the time of writing. Hers isn’t the only story to go viral on TikTok with real-world implications, though; for more viral stories like these, check out the TikTokers who went viral after fans couldn’t decide if they were actually related or not.

His original song ‘Long Txts’ already has a quarter-million views on YouTube, and fans are hoping that his TikTok fame continues to shed more light on his musical ventures.

    Who is Logan Paul fighting next? Antonio Brown and Dillon Danis rumors Antonio Brown, Logan Paul, Dillon Danis – InstagramPopular YouTuber Logan Paul looks eager to return to the ring after his split decision loss to KSI in November, but which star is he looking at taking on next? Since YouTubers first entered the sport of boxing, many fans have been calling for their favorite personalities to clash for everyone to watch. Following Jake Paul’s victory over AnEsonGib on January 30, his brother Logan seems to have found new motivation for fighting following his narrow defeat to KSI. Logan has built a massive name for himself in the entertainment industry, with over 20.2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, giving him plenty of options for opponents looking to share the limelight. However, the popular content creator has been leaving many hints as to who he has on his radar for his next bout and has seemed to have narrowed it down to two well-known athletes. Could Antonio Brown fight Logan Paul next? Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has seemed to have sparked Logan’s interest as a potential opponent following his departure from the New England Patriots after allegations surfaced about the star The pair have been quite vocal on Twitter about setting up a bout between themselves, and have revealed their intention to donate all their earnings to charity if the fight was to take place. if you do, i’ll match your donation https://t.co/nJJgtGMx9E — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) February 2, 2020 During Super Bowl weekend on February 1, the two personalities had a brief clash with one another in Miami, although it is unclear what events led up to the face-off. In the clip, which was shared by Impaulsive co-host Mike Majlak, Paul asked Antonio Brown “Do you want to make this happen?” sparking fans’ interest in the potential fight. THE SAGA CONTINUES! @LoganPaul @AB84 😱😱😱 pic.twitter.com/AIJWomFUIy — Mike Majlak (@mikemajlak) February 2, 2020 Dillon Danis vs Logan Paul? Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt Dillon Danis also seems to be keen for a fight with Paul, although unlike his previous boxing bouts, Logan has revealed his interest in potentially testing out his MMA skills as well. Logan competed as a wrestler during his early years, so the bout between the two of them could make for an interesting matchup in MMA with the pair bringing different skillsets to the table. Dillon Danis initially rose to fame after training Conor McGregor ahead of many of his recent fights and although he specializes in BJJ, the grappler only recently transitioned to MMA himself and currently holds a 2-0 record in Bellator. Super Bowl weekend seems to have been a busy one for Logan Paul as he also met with Bellator MMA’s promoter and CEO, Scott Coker, during his trip to Miami, leaving many fans confused about his plans. However, shortly after Scott Coker tweeted the photo of their meeting in Miami, Dillon followed up by hinting that he and Logan could be next, posting a picture of the two of them simply captioned, “It’s on,” although, the fight has not been officially confirmed as of yet.

Since TikTok exploded in popularity, we’ve seen tons of bodybuilders gain traction on the video-sharing app. However, none may be as dedicated to their craft as Liver King. Nicknamed for his love of eating raw liver with every meal, the Liver King went viral on TikTok for sharing his absolutely wild meals and hardcore exercises that promote his dedication to “ancestral living.” Who is Liver King on TikTok? With over 2.4 million followers on TikTok, Liver King shares his meals and heavy lifting to his followers, whom he’s lovingly given the nickname “primals.” The 44-year-old influencer from Texas follows the nine “ancestral tenets” which help achieve the ancestral lifestyle he promotes. The tenets involve his raw diet, exercising, and healthy sleep habits. He also documents his travels, having gone everywhere from New York City to the jungles of Africa. Read More: How many TikTok users are there? – In nearly every video on his page, he’s shirtless, rocking a backward hat and massive beard which nearly reaches down to his enormous eight-pack.

So, the way to break that fast is by simulating a successful hunt. We did two rounds of pushups, and we carried a heavy load to simulate carrying a carcass back, to share in the success of the hunt.” Liver King’s TikTok page continues to grow, as he’s nearly doubled his following on the platform in 2022 alone.

  • Who is Landon Barker dating now? TikTok star’s relationship timeline explained – Dexerto

    Who is Landon Barker dating now? TikTok star’s relationship timeline explained Instagram: landonasherbarkerLandon Barker may be known for his two-year relationship with Charli D’Amelio, but he seems to currently have his eyes on someone new. Popular TikToker and son of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, Landon Barker, 20, has fans wondering who he’s currently dating, as he posted a “mystery woman” to his Instagram story in April. After fans did some social media digging, it was revealed that the girl was internet personality Ryley Ladd. Ryley, who has 150K IG and 54K TikTok followers, collaborated with rapper Lil Tecca last year on his ‘Gist’ music video. She also starred in The Kid Laroi’s music video ‘Too Much’ in the same year. After fans found out that Landon’s new alleged girlfriend is Ryley, they were quick to praise her for being “gorgeous.” One fan also referred to his ex-girlfriend TikToker Charli D’Amelio in a shady comment, “Now that is how you upgrade.” Landon dated Charli from June 2022 – February 2024. When they broke up, he posted a statement to Instagram. “We broke up to focus on ourselves. We are still friends and have so much love for each other. I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared and hope you can respect our decisions.” Before he and Charli dated, Landon could be linked to model Josie Canseco. The two stirred up relationship rumors in early 2022. However, he unfollowed her on social media in May of that year after he thought she cheated on him with musician and TikToker Jaden Hossler. Landon’s earliest relationship, though, goes back to 2016 when he allegedly dated actress Devenity Perkins. Speculation began after the two often shared each other on their social media accounts. Though Landon has spent the majority of his fame dating Charli, his newly speculated relationship with Ryley just might be what he needs to get a break from being known as ‘Charli D’Amelio’s ex.’

    Who is Lia Marie Johnson and why are fans so worried about her? YouTube: Lia Marie JohnsonActress and internet personality Lia Marie Johnson is at the center of social media controversy — but who exactly is this young woman, and why are fans across the net expressing concern for her safety? After multiple distressing instances involving the celeb surfaced online in late 2019 – early 2020, fans are becoming more vocal about their concerns for Johnson, who has repeatedly assured critics that she is “okay” and just wants to be “left alone.” Her name popping up on Twitter’s trending page, among other online outlets, might spark curiosity in those who don’t know her story — nor who she is, at all. Who is Lia Marie Johnson? Johnson is a 23-year-old actress, music artist and online personality, known for her involvement in such internet shows as the Fine Brothers’ “Kids React,” AwesomenessTV’s “Side Effects” television series, and even YouTube Red film “The Thinning 2” as Logan Paul’s co-star. She likewise boasts her own YouTube channel, a home for her music videos and a few other various uploads, which currently sports over 1.8 million subscribers at the time of writing. Johnson also has a successful Instagram account, with a similar following of 1.3 million fans, chronicling her lifestyle and travels. With such a massive online presence and a history of being in the spotlight, it comes as little surprise that her name is in the news — but why is she such a hot topic? Why are fans worried about Johnson? Heads turned across the Twitterverse after the influencer began a two-hour ‘Instagram Live’ stream on December 24, where she exhibited worrying behavior and experienced a wide range of emotions as she discussed her career and future. Despite many labeling the broadcast as “disturbing” and even speculating that she was under the influence (due to the bagged bottle she was seen drinking from), Johnson assured fans that she wasn’t on drugs, but instead argued that her spiel came from an “interesting mindset.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=SBOfWKPtlSw&feature=emb_title Drama surrounding the star escalated on January 2, during another Instagram Live stream, in which she appeared to be drunk or under the influence. During the broadcast, she was seen kissing a man off-camera, who urged her to end the broadcast as it could affect “his work.” “Lia I need this to not go out because it will effect my work” this is chilling. Lia Marie Johnson is in serious danger… pic.twitter.com/ark150mrTK — T (@t_stockk) January 2, 2020 Although the identity of this man remains unknown, many believe him to be her producer, Stephen Wetherbee. Johnson also revealed that police were later called due to fan concern, with the star claiming she was handcuffed and detained. Other disturbing instances from the star These aren’t the first recorded instances of concerning behavior from Johnson. A leaked video from November 2019 allegedly shows Johnson engaging in a fist fight while naked, which a Twitter user claimed was due to taking a shower in her bathroom uninvited. After asking Johnson and her male friend to take their leave, the two got physical with other members of the household, leading to eventual police involvement and even the alleged theft of the Twitter user’s laptop. Johnson’s distressing live streams also have a storied history, with the star going live in May 2018 with a rant that had many wondering if the star was under the influence of drugs. For now, Johnson is urging fans to leave her alone amidst the chaos from her January 2 broadcast — a request that many aren’t keen on entertaining, feeling that she is in grave danger or being exploited by those around her.

  • Who is Joe Rogan? – Dexerto

    Who is Joe Rogan? YouTube: JREJoe Rogan is a comedian, commentator and podcaster, who is polarizing to say the least, with the internet often split into two tribes: those who love the podcast host for his outspoken views, and those who find him too tough to bear. But the host of The Joe Rogan Experience, which is on Spotify and YouTube, is a bona fide internet celebrity, with millions of fans who hang on his every word and a platform that attracts some of the biggest names in business and entertainment – including Tesla founder Elon Musk – to spill the beans in front of his microphone. Here’s everything you need to know about Joe Rogan. Contents Joe Rogan facts How old is Joe Rogan? His rebellious nature, outspoken views and social media savvy may make Rogan seem younger than his years, but he’s in fact 53 years old. He also credits his youthful exuberance to testosterone supplements. Rogan was born in Newark, New Jersey on August 11, 1967. He began his career in comedy before pivoting to mixed martial arts (MMA) and podcasting. How Tall is Joe Rogan? The podcaster gives the impression of being a larger than life character, but in fact he’s a pretty average guy when it comes to height. Standing at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he’s slightly below the global average height for men. What is Joe Rogan’s net worth? With a career in comedy, MMA commentating and a successful online persona that includes a podcast empire behind him, Joe Rogan is pretty wealthy. While exact figures vary, most sources seem to believe he’s worth around $100 million or more, when taking into account his past earnings and his current business interests. Where does Joe Rogan live? That $100 million wealth allows Joe Rogan to live in the lap of luxury. In October 2020, he bought a luxurious 10,980-square-foot mansion in Austin, Texas, for a cool $14.4 million. The eight-bedroom mansion is located on Lake Austin, and inspired by Asian design and architecture. Rogan moved there from a smaller, but still palatial mansion in California, citing the state’s high taxes as one of the reasons he was moving. How did Joe Rogan Become famous? Joe Rogan Stand-Up Comedy Rogan became enamored with comedy after watching Richard Pryor performing. Friends he had at the gym and Taekwondo school he ran encouraged him to take to the stage, pointing out that they frequently made him laugh. He first performed in Boston, Massachusetts, in August 1988. Two years later, in 1990, Rogan moved to New York City and worked the New York comedy circuit. In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles and fame beckoned. He appeared on an MTV comedy show, which resulted in a Fox sitcom called Hardball. He moved on to NewsRadio, another popular sitcom, which was broadcast on NBC. Rogan also had a Netflix special in 2018. Joe Rogan in the UFC Around the same time as he was acting in popular sitcoms, Rogan was watching the rise of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Combining his interest in martial arts and his love of being in front of the camera, he joined the UFC in February 1997, conducting backstage interviews at UFC 12: Judgement Day. Rogan initially left the UFC after two years over a dispute over money. In 2002, he returned to the UFC as co-commentator alongside Mike Goldberg, winning awards along the way for his idiosyncratic calls. All the while he was performing gigs and working on TV shows. Rogan eventually left the commentators’ desk behind in 2016. He’s also appeared in the UFC video games, but dropped out before UFC 4 because he “absolutely hates” doing the voiceover for it. Joe Rogan Podcast What is the Joe Rogan Podcast? One of the reasons for Rogan leaving the UFC was the continued success of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and the amount of time it took out of his life. Launched in 2009 with Brian Redban, another comedian, it was initially broadcast on Ustream, then moved to YouTube. Rogan himself has described the podcast as he and his co-host “sitting in front of laptops bullshitting”. Yet the podcast has proved as popular as Rogan’s UFC announcing, winning him multiple awards and being downloaded millions of times. Some of the biggest guests on the podcast include Elon Musk, who appeared on episode 1169 in a rambling, eye-opening interview, though he has also attracted mainstream celebrities from sports and television: Jay Leno and cyclist Lance Armstrong, as well as Neil deGrasse Tyson, have sat besides Rogan to chat. Spotify took The Joe Rogan Experience from YouTube with a $100 million deal – one of the largest ever brokered in podcasting – in May 2020. The deal allows Spotify exclusive rights to full episodes of the podcast from January 2021, with short clips still being uploaded onto the YouTube channel Rogan runs. Joe Rogan’s Opinions Joe Rogan’s Views on Gaming In a July 2020 interview on his podcast, Rogan described gaming as “a waste of time” for most people. “Video games are a real problem,” Rogan said. “They’re a real problem. You know why? Because they’re f**king fun. You do them, and they’re real exciting, but you don’t get anywhere.” His opinion sparked a widespread debate on social media. Joe Rogan’s Political Views Rogan is avowedly liberal in his political views, supporting the legalization of cannabis, the use of LSD, gay rights and a Universal Basic Income. He said he would likely vote for Bernie Sanders, but controversially said he would support Donald Trump over Joe Biden, citing his age. “Biden, to me, is like having a flashlight with a dying battery and going for a long hike in the woods, it is not going to work out,” he said. “It’s not going to make it.” On his podcast, he brings on guests from both sides of the political aisle. Some praise this for providing a more balanced approach. Others have been critical, arguing it gives a platform to potentially harmful views, while Rogan sits on the fence, or will even agree with contradicting views one episode to the next.

That said, Star said that despite their disagreements he still wanted to stand up for her when he alleged Too Faced had paid Nikkie a flat fee for a collaboration. Nikkie’s collaboration palette titled “Power of Makeup” went onto become a commercial success despite negative reviews. After the subject was brought up in Star and Shane Dawson’s ‘The Secret World of Jeffree Star’, Nikkie tweeted the following: I signed my contract with TF back then because I was naive & didn’t know better. at the end of the day, I signed it, it’s my own fault— but what I’ll never forgive is that “allegedly” they changed the palette’s quality behind my back. 1000’s of negative reviews & I was clueless — NikkieTutorials (@NikkieTutorials) October 6, 2019 Nikkie went onto say, “I don’t care about the money but I had to fight YEARS to prove my authenticity and gain your trust again.” It seems now that the pair are back to being friends. When Nikkie came out as transgender in January 2020, Star tweeted that Nikkie was an “inspiration” and was “so proud to call you my friend.” Star’s feud with Tati Westbrook & James Charles The drama started when Tati Westbrook uploaded her viral “Bye Sister” video where she described how their friendship fell apart and made sexual harassment allegations. Charles later hit back at Tati in a video and Star weighed in on the drama saying James “is a danger to society. Everything Tati said is 100% true.” James Charles’ loss of three million subscribers at the time meant Star then took the top spot in terms of followers for makeup YouTubers. However, the drama was far from over when Westbrook alleged Star and Shane Dawson encouraged her to post about Charles. She alleged that their reason for doing this was because of their upcoming ‘Conspiracy’ palette launch.

    Who is Jake Paul fighting next? Bellator boss sparks Dillon Danis rumors Instagram: jakepaul / Twitter: dillondanisCEO of Bellator MMA, Scott Coker, has sparked rumors of a potential fight between YouTube star Jake Paul and MMA fighter Dillon Danis after revealing that conversations between their teams are ongoing. What started as exhibition fights exclusively between influencers like Logan Paul, KSI, and Joe Weller, has turned into a spectacle where social media stars are pitted against huge names in professional boxing. Most recently, Logan Paul was announced to be fighting Floyd Mayweather on February 20, 2021. Younger brother Jake Paul also revealed that he is “dedicating his life” to defeating Conor McGregor, after winning his fight against Nate Robinson. But the question on everyone’s lips is always, ‘who’s next.’ With many pro boxers tempted by the publicity of these huge exhibition fights, the pool of willing participants is widening, and it doesn’t seem like either of the Paul brothers will back down from a challenge. Is Jake Paul going to fight Dillon Danis? Back in August, professional MMA fighter Dillon Danis revealed in an interview with ESPN MMA that he believed he would at some point fight Jake Paul, and described the young star as “the one that really wants to fight me.” However, rumors as to whether the fight would ever actually go ahead were certainly up in the air, and Dillon was thrown out as just one in a sea of names of potential competitors for Jake. Read More: Bryce Hall leaks Faze Jarvis’ number – Now, Bellator MMA boss Scott Coker has provided some solidity to those rumors, by revealing that there are actually talks going on behind the scenes to try and arrange something between the two stars. When asked by Nolan King of MMA Junkie about the status of the fight, Coker said “Those calls have been happening for a year, you know. And you know what, I’m sure Danis would love to fight him.” Topic starts at 6:53 He explained that while Jake seemed focused on boxing, Coker would love him to give mixed martial arts a try, potentially with a “two-fight contract” in mind where they “let him go do boxing, and come back and do MMA.” He ended by saying “never say never, and a lot of it has to do with what Dillon wants to do. But he’s gung ho, he’s all for it.” Coker asserted that “I’m sure at some point it will happen.” The knowledge that their teams are in talks with each other may come as exciting news for those who are a fan of these style of fights, and with Danis seeming more than up for taking on Jake Paul, it seems like it will be one to watch.

Jake Paul’s boxing career Jake has a boxing record of 9-1, excluding his amateur bout against Deji in 2018, which he also won. Jake has secured six victories by KO, as well as winning one by split decision and two by unanimous decision. Jake Paul vs Deji In August 2018, the younger Paul brother took on the younger brother of UK YouTuber KSI, Deji, in a boxing match at Manchester Arena. Jake Paul won the bout after Deji’s team threw in the towel, ending the match. The bout was Paul’s first boxing match, and triggered an interest that has since continued throughout the second part of his career. Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib In January 2020, Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib took place in a standalone event booked by DAZN in Miami. Again, Paul showed his prowess, winning the bout in the first round by knockout after sending the British YouTuber to the canvas twice in short succession. The victory set up another bout, this time against Nate Robinson. Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson Jake Paul took on the former NBA star, Nate Robinson, in another boxing match that took place in November 2020, winning the bout by knockout. Paul managed to knock the former basketballer down three times in two rounds, scoring a decisive victory. Jake Paul vs Ben Askren Paul upped the ante on his next opponent, former Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren. This marked Jake’s first foray into a fight with a pro fighter, retired or not — and it set him up for another major win on his record. Paul knocked out Askren in the first round of their April 2021 bout. According to Jake, the fight allegedly generated $65 million. Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley Jake’s next biggest challenge would be his bout against former five-time UFC champ Tyron Woodley, which took place in 2021. This fight had all kinds of trash-talk leading up to clash night — including a hilarious bet between the two opponents that would have Woodley getting ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattooed on himself if he lost. Although it’s uncertain if Woodley actually kept his promise, Jake ended up taking yet another victory over the seasoned combat sports vet, winning the bout by split decision after going the full eight rounds. Paul, however, wasn’t pleased with the commission’s ruling and wanted his knockout… which he got in their eventual rematch just months later. Paul secured a rematch against Fury; and in December 2021, he got his long-awaited KO, knocking Woodley out in the sixth round to finally settle the score. Jake Paul vs Anderson Silvia In October 2022, Jake Paul had the biggest fight of his career thus far — stepping into the ring with Brazilian MMA star Anderson Silva was a high point of Jake Paul’s boxing record for some time. While ‘The Problem Child’ predicted he’d finish the fight by stoppage before the end of the fifth round, 47-year-old Silva managed to keep up and take it the distance. The decision went to the officials after eight intense rounds — with Jake ultimately taking the win by unanimous decision. Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury After multiple delays and issues, Jake Paul finally stepped into the ring against Tommy Fury in February of 2023. Paul had nearly fought Tommy Fury twice prior to the actual fight. However, when the two did finally step in the ring together, Jake was served his first loss in his boxing career. Judges awarded Fury victory via scorecards, with a 74-75 for Paul and 2x 76-73 for Fury, resulting in an overall victory for the former Love Island star. After taking the loss against Fury, Paul’s rematch clause has come into effect, meaning the boxers will see a rematch sometime down the line. Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz Jake Paul battled with former UFC contender Nate Diaz on August 5, 2023, in a ten-round pro boxing match in Dallas, Texas. He showcased considerable improvements to his boxing, particularly his left hook. In round five, Paul knocked Diaz down with a powerful left hook, delivering the best punch of the night. By this point, Paul was well in front on the scorecards and just needed to last the distance. He did just that — even when Diaz eventually turned it on in the final stages of the fight. In the end, Paul celebrated a hard-fought victory that helped re-establish his career as a professional boxer following his defeat against Tommy Fury earlier in 2023. He won via unanimous decision (97-92, 98-91, 98-91). Jake Paul vs Andre August Off the back of his bout with Diaz, ‘The Problem Child’ went up against 10-1 professional boxer Andre August for one of the toughest fights in his career on December 15. However, Paul ended up facing the challenge with ease, defeating his opponent by KO in the very first round, sending August to the floor. Jake Paul vs Ryan Bourland Continuing on his path to becoming “boxing world champion”, Jake Paul took on former Gold Gloves champion Ryan Bourland on March 2 for his first fight of 2024 as the co-main event of Amanda Serrano vs Nina Meinke. The veteran cruiserweight held an impressive 17-2 professional record heading into the fight but was still no match for the YouTuber, who added another TKO to his record with a first-round stoppage after absolutely smashing Bourland. Jake Paul’s dating history Alissa Violet Jake Paul’s love life has never been far from the headlines. His first prominent relationship as a star was with fellow Vine creator Alissa Voilet. Things ended badly between the pair though, as Violet said she was mentally abused and that the relationship was almost faked for content. Tana Mongeau Paul “married” fellow YouTuber Tana Mongeau at a Las Vegas wedding, access to the livestream of which was sold online to fans. It’s never really been clear how serious the relationship was, but in Late 2019, Tana confirmed it was over. There was speculation that Jake had cheated on her with ex Erika Costell, but this was apparently an innocent meeting to clear the air. Julia Rose The “marriage” was short-lived, and in 2020 Jake Paul was dating MTV reality star Julia Rose, who recently was arrested for altering the Hollywood sign to read “Hollyboob”. Jutta Leerdam Although she’s been in a few of Jake’s pics and videos up until this point, Jake and Jutta went official after she appeared in an episode of his podcast on April 27, 2023. According to Jake and Jutta, they’d been attempting to keep their relationship lowkey, but the paparazzi got to them first, and they ended up breaking the news via Instagram on April 3. Jutta Leerdam is a 25-year-old professional speed skater and world champion from the Netherlands, who won her first major title at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Finland. She’s clinched three world titles since then, is considered the reigning sprint European champion, and is an Olympic medalist. Jake Paul’s music career As well as a successful career on YouTube, Jake Paul has released a number of diss tracks to further online conflicts with fellow creators. Perhaps the best known is “It’s Everyday Bro”, which when released in 2017 went platinum because of its success on streaming platforms. Paul has since released a number of singles that have failed to chart worldwide, despite racking up significant views on YouTube.

  • Who is Jake Paul fighting next? 5 perfect opponents for the YouTube boxer – Dexerto

    Who is Jake Paul fighting next? 5 perfect opponents for the YouTube boxer DexertoYouTube star Jake Paul is gearing up for his next bout this summer — but until his opponent for this upcoming fight is announced, we’ve got five boxers who would be a perfect fit for ‘The Problem Child.’ Jake Paul is truly the poster boy for influencer boxing. After his very first match against fellow YouTuber Deji in 2018, the youngest Paul brother has gone on to rack up an undefeated 5-0 professional boxing record. Scoring matches against the likes of NBA star Nate Robinson, Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, and even former UFC champ Tyron Woodley, it seems like the sky’s the limit for this internet superstar… and he’s not done yet. With his next bout slated for August 13, fans are waiting with bated breath for him to announce an opponent. Until then, we’ve got a list of perfect rivals we’d love to see ‘The Problem Child’ take on in the ring. Tommy Fury This match made in heaven almost happened last year… until Fury pulled out at the last minute due to an injury, prompting Jake to schedule a rematch with Tyron Woodley, instead. Fury is, by far, one of the most perfect opponents for Jake Paul. Both men are high-profile internet stars with millions of followers a piece, and each shares a fair history in boxing. Fury’s father and older brother are notable former and current professional boxers, with Tommy himself boasting an undefeated 8-0 record. It burns that this match didn’t come to fruition after months of planning and trash-talk from both sides. Both fighters boast a similar build, as well — the influencers are around six foot and 180-190 pounds, making for an easy matchup. It’s unclear if we’ll ever see these two schedule a match again… but according to Jake Paul himself, it’s not looking likely. KSI The ongoing beef between KSI and Jake Paul is nothing short of legendary. Following KSI and Logan Paul’s very first match in 2018, Jake seemed to hold a special resentment toward the British YouTube star, and challenged him a boxing match not long afterward. However, things haven’t panned out for this particular grudge match for a number of reasons. Following KSI’s 2019 rematch with Logan (which he won by split-decision), the pandemic put a halt on all in-person events for some time. On top of that, KSI was focused on his music career, leaving little time to practice between shows. However, the Brit has now announced that he’s coming back to the ring this August (albeit at a later date than Jake Paul), and we can’t help but wonder… is a fight with ‘The Problem Child’ on the horizon? Standing at five feet eleven inches tall, KSI isn’t too far off the mark from Jake Paul. Considering that they’re both influencers, as well, this is another match that’s just too good to pass up. Only time will tell if they end up in the ring together, though. Logan Paul What can we say — family feuds make for great storylines. Jake and Logan Paul famously butted heads earlier on in their careers, but now, both brothers have sufficiently mellowed out and often support each other in their prospective endeavors. Despite being on good terms, folks just can’t seem to let go of a possible boxing match between the two YouTubers… and we have to admit that the possibility is quite tempting. In fact, both brothers have discussed the topic openly in the past. At first, they claimed they’d never touch gloves in a sanctioned match — but now, things are looking a little bit more likely, as Logan Paul admitted to entrepreneur Gary Vee that he’d be down to take on his little bro in the ring. Although Logan has a bit of a height advantage over Jake, it’s definitely something we know audiences would be anxious to see… either in the boxing ring, or in a high-flying WWE match. Floyd Mayweather While this matchup is still the stuff of fairy dust and dreams, it’s not a far-off possibility — and it’s one we know fans would love to see happen. Undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has already proven that he’s down for the occasional fun exhibition match against the odd influencer, as shown by his fight against Logan Paul last year. On top of that, who could forget his infamous scuffle with Jake Paul at the weigh-in a day prior? (‘Gotcha hat’ will now forever live in the hallowed annals of internet history.) Unfortunately, there’s one thing stopping this fight from being a perfect fit; Jake boasts quite the size advantage over the boxing superstar, although it’s worth noting that this had no bearing on Mayweather’s bout with Logan. Anderson Silva Brazilian mixed martial artist Anderson Silva rounds out our wish list of dream fights for Jake Paul. This one isn’t as far out of left field as one might think; in fact, Silva himself has stated that he’s absolutely down to switch his kicks for punches for the chance of fighting the youngest Paul brother. Jake has also expressed a great love for the MMA star — so what’s the holdup? Even other combat sports greats like Michael Bisping are urging ‘The Problem Child’ to go toe-to-toe with ‘The Spider.’ However, it looks like both athletes are currently dealing with extremely busy schedules, so the jury’s still out on whether or not this dream match will ever happen. Honorable mentions Conor McGregor Of course, this list would be totally amiss if we didn’t say something about Irish MMA legend Conor McGregor. This fight has long been a dream of Jake Paul’s, who has taken every opportunity to call out ‘The Notorious’ Irish fighter for a possible boxing match. While McGregor has been cautiously open toward the possibility, we can’t say this is a bout we see happening — the size difference between the two fighters alone is enough to make us press pause on the idea, altogether. Who knows, though — stranger things have certainly happened. Mike Tyson Last but certainly not least, we’ve got to add ‘Iron Mike’ Tyson into the mix. Talks of a possible bout between ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ and Jake Paul have long been in circulation, with Tyson praising the YouTuber for putting boxing back in the spotlight. In fact, the two were confirmed to be in discussions regarding Paul’s upcoming August fight…. But according to Jake’s camp, the matchup isn’t looking likely. It’s still unclear who Jake’s next opponent will be — but if any one of these names above are involved, you can bet we’ll be more than excited to see it come to life.

    Who is Jacqueline Guzman? Actress fired over viral NYPD TikTok rant TikTok: Jacqueline GuzmanActress Jacqueline Guzman has been fired from the production company she was part of after she sparked outrage with a video about street closures for NYPD Officer Jason Rivera’s funeral. Jacqueline Guzman sparked backlash online in January when she uploaded a video to TikTok in which she gave her opinion about street closures for the funeral of 22-year-old NYPD Officer Jason Rivera. “We do not need to shut down most of Lower Manhattan because one cop died for probably doing his job incorrectly,” she said. “They kill people who are under 22 every single day for no good reason and we don’t shut down the city for them. “Like, this is f**king ridiculous. This is f**king ridiculous. What if somebody is having a heart attack in this area? Nobody can get to them because it’s all blocked off for one f**king cop.” @vinylboobs you are right, we shut down the whole F’ing city!! #EAD @NYDO_1993 @NYPDHispanic @bigricanman @PeggyMaysonet @jwcortes @cpegues YOU GOT SOME DAMN NERVE!! pic.twitter.com/QnJsVlgBZc — Dago™ (@REMYROCK180) January 29, 2022 She deleted the clip shortly after posting, but people were quick to make copies of it and repost those across multiple social media platforms, with many trying to establish her identity. Following the huge amount of backlash against her, Face to Face Films, the independent film & theater production company she was part of, released a statement about the situation. “Face to Face Films has just been made aware of an insensitive video involving one of our members, Jacqueline Guzman,” they wrote in an Instagram post. Click here if post doesn’t load View this post on Instagram “Face to Face Films does not support nor can condone these comments made about fallen Officer Rivera.

  • Who is Jake Fellman? YouTube shorts genius gains 1 million subs in a month – Dexerto

    Who is Jake Fellman? YouTube shorts genius gains 1 million subs in a month Instagram: Jake Fellman/ TikTok: Jake FellmanYouTuber Jake Fellman has gained 1 million subscribers in less than a month, all without posting a single normal-length video, proving that short-form videos on YouTube can actually warrant massive success. Jake Fellman is known for his incredible 3D artwork and has built up a large following across social media. Since joining YouTube, Jake has racked up more than 2.5 million subscribers – and the last million he gained within the space of fewer than 30 days. What makes this so impressive is that Jake has posted zero “regular” YouTube videos. Every subscriber has been gained as a result of these short clips, many of which include Among Us parodies and quirky sketches. Jake was able to build up a pretty large following on TikTok, too, with more than 3.5 million followers, 58.4 million likes, and earning more than 50 million views on one popular clip, in particular. However, on YouTube, his most popular video has far surpassed TikTok with 115 million views. Before he even hit this amazing milestone, Jake posted on Instagram about his journey into making his art. “I downloaded Autodesk Maya for the first time in September of 2018,” he wrote. “Starting with zero knowledge of 3D design, I taught myself the software from the ground up – practicing for several hours each day. “In the summer of 2019, I began to learn the ropes of negotiating contracts and managing clients while sitting in my bedroom, wearing a bathrobe. Now, I live in a small Alaskan town that is inaccessible by road where I’m able to support myself financially simply through a stable wifi connection and a well-worn laptop. “My message is that you don’t need a fancy education or 10 years of experience to win. I’m self-taught and have only been in the game for 2 years.” Right now, YouTube Shorts are planning to rival TikTok, and might just be the best way to grow a channel in 2021. YouTube recently revealed that Shorts are hitting 3.5 billion views per day during its early test run in India. CEO Susan Wojcicki announced in a post that the company will be expanding Shorts to new markets in the coming year.

  • Who is Hair by Chrissy? Viral TikTok salon drama explained – Dexerto

    Who is Hair by Chrissy? Viral TikTok salon drama explained YouTube: Hairby_chrissyA popular TikTok hairstylist has turned off comments on all platforms after claims of discrimination went viral, leading to people review bombing her Yelp page. But who exactly is Hair by Chrissy and why has she gone so viral? Video sharing app TikTok is the perfect breeding ground for virality, with videos going from nothing to hundreds of thousands of likes overnight, trends sweeping its huge user base with its spookily smart algorithm. But many users have found themselves coming across huge talking points that have seemingly sprung out of the blue, and one of those phenomena is Hair by Chrissy who has found herself ‘cancelled’ overnight. But many are confused as to exactly who she is and why there are so many videos springing up about her. Hair by Chrissy is a hair stylist TikToker, with a relatively sizable following of 1.5 million. She has previously styled huge TikTok stars such as Dixie D’Amelio and Cynthia Parker, and owns Habit Salons in both LA and Arizona. Chrissy initially caught some backlash when salon customers emerged with reviews claiming that that the salon was not enforcing the use of masks, in an apparent flouting of recent regulations. https://twitter.com/hillaryyfae/status/1315076771625103360 As this criticism began to brew, viral TikToks started to pick up traction that documented the many reviews that had flooded Habit Salon’s Yelp page, claiming that Chrissy had been discriminatory to people of color. The reviews alleged that Chrissy “doesn’t do ethnic hair” and many viral TikToks claim that the salon has been deleting reviews that in particular call out alleged incidents of misconduct by staff members against people of color. One particularly scathing review claimed the salon provided “mediocre hairstyles by an entitled anti-masker. Definitely not worth anyone’s time. Extensions don’t look blended at all and she doesn’t give a crap about you unless you have TikTok followers. This old lady is cancelled.” Yelp itself even ended up freezing the salon’s review pages due to the “increased public attention,” the viral drama starting to appear on people’s For You Pages globally. Hair by Chrissy herself has now turned off comments on all her social media platforms to deflect the hate, but continues to post videos and images to her various accounts. She even reposted a video from her former videographer claiming she’s one of the most “talented and hardworking people he knows.” That hasn’t stopped memes about the bizarre incident to flood both TikTok and Twitter, with many joking they are on “Hair by Chrissy TikTok” and saying “Hair by Chrissy on TikTok said I see your White House garden party and I raise you an indoor salon with no masks and questionable aesthetics.” https://twitter.com/sophinglis/status/1316520882916012032 https://twitter.com/arperelli/status/1316132311109431296 At the time of writing there has been no formal response to the outrage from the popular TikTok stylist, and they continue to post as normal.

  • Who is Henry Winkler? Comedy legend turns into wholesome TikTok creator – Dexerto

    Who is Henry Winkler? Comedy legend turns into wholesome TikTok creator Verge / TikTokIconic TV/movie star Henry Winkler has joined TikTok and is already going viral for some of the most wholesome videos on the site – and he’s just getting started. We often see big celebrities and movie stars make a TikTok and other socials. While some use it as a vehicle for promotional purposes, Winkler has been on a tear with his last posts that have quickly garnered millions of views. Winkler (76) has been on TikTok since the tail-end of 2020 but hasn’t really shared much content on the platform. The few things he has posted, however, have spread like wildfire with thousands of people commenting on the modern-day dancing adventures of the Fonz. Who is Henry Winkler? Henry Winkler is an American actor with a rich, decades-long career that includes a role in the ‘Happy Days’ sitcom (1974) as Arthur ‘Fonzie’ Fonzarelli. His career would later result in a Prime Time Emmy Award for his role in HBO’s ‘Barry’ (2018) while appearing in cult classic projects like ‘The Waterboy’ (1998) and the ‘Arrested Development’ series. He’s appeared in dozens of other TV series or voice acting roles and is setting himself up nicely as a wholesome TikTok content creator. Henry Winkler’s TikTok For someone who’s only posted six TikTok videos, Winkler is starting to hit a groove on the platform in more ways than one. Since 2020, Winkler has published a few messages to his fans as well as an initial dance video that went viral to the tune of 14 million views. In the midst of the 2021 holiday season, the comedian gave his 1.1 million followers a long-awaited follow-up to his initial dance TikTok years prior. These included a “Happy New Year happy dance” that reminded his fans why he’s going to be one of the best follows in 2022. The second video shows Winkler up to his old antics but this time he’s being flanked by three of his grandkids. Whether or not his grandkids convince Winkler to be more active on TikTok remains to be seen but his videos have already given the site’s users something to smile about in 2022.
