Vox Akuma opens up on struggles after cutting recent ASMR stream short YouTube: Vox AkumaNIJISANJI star Vox Akuma has opened up on his mental health struggles again after cutting a recent ASMR stream short. The VTuber is taking a little break, and promises fans he will “go back to a time where it felt fun and energetic and relaxing to watch me”. Vox Akuma is NIJISANJI’s biggest English VTuber, cresting the 1 million subscriber mark in a rapid rise that has seen the agency explode in popularity in the west. He has used that audience to promote wider messages, such as his struggles behind the scenes with mental health. The Luxiem star came forward with his ADHD and PTSD diagnoses in late October, exposing a very vulnerable side of the often-cool and collected streamer. He went into slight detail about abuse he had faced in the past, and how speaking out about his health helps break down the stigma around it for others. Vox put on a brave face in the weeks since, but got overwhelmed in a recent ASMR stream on November 15, cutting the broadcast short. Fans were concerned about the star who tweeted out “something about that last scene wasn’t working, I couldn’t figure out what to say and I’m having a panic attack” afterwards. After being flooded with a wave of support, he opened up a bit more on November 17 about what happened, and how he will be taking it easy as he tries to readjust. I feel much better, I’ve been relaxing a lot,” he stated on Twitter. “The fact of the matter is what happened on Tuesday, it was an eyeopener. “Being a streamer and a public figure means if you do have a problem one day and things do go badly, there’s no way of hiding it, especially in a situation like that ASMR which was a tight production and I needed to make it work in some way. When I do stream again I’ll tell you about specific aspects of it that didn’t work for me and what made me panic in that moment.” That’s the operative indicator though: when he will stream again. Vox had a packed schedule for this week, but is putting it on the sidelines for now and playing by ear on when he will return. He is starting his first round of medication next week, and he wants to avoid the “nightmare” of coming back too soon. “I’m waking up to the fact I’m putting way too much pressure on myself. I don’t take all the stuff in my life as an excuse to do any worse than I normally would, but it’s starting to take a real toll on me. Once I’m on the path to recovery then I’ll come back to streaming in my normal capacity.” He also wants to get his stream back to a place where it’s a comfortable, safe space for people to forget about their worries, rather than being exhausted with intimate details of his health. Once he has the right frame of mind again, that’s when he’ll return properly. “When I got into this business I wanted to be a form of escapism for people, but because I’ve been so unable to avoid my own problems I’ve been reminding people how stressful and sad real life can be. “I feel bad for that, and I want to go back to a time where it felt fun and energetic and relaxing to watch me, and that starts with me. I need to get better first before I can start doing that again. I’m going to play it by ear, see how I feel, and I hope in the meantime you’ve been doing well.”

What is #VoxAdpocalypse? YouTube’s latest controversy explained Steven Crowder – YouTube / YouTubeFollowing the controversial move of YouTube saying Steven Crowder’s attacks against Vox Media journalist Carlos Maza didn’t violate Terms of Service, #VoxAdpocalypse began trending as many creators reported that their channels were being demonetized. Making your living from YouTube can be pretty tough to do considering how volatile the platform is, and things appear to be getting even harder now following the latest string of controversy. Maza flagged YouTube to Crowder’s channel with a video showcasing all of the times he said racist and homophobic insults directed at him. YouTube went through his channel and deemed that while the videos were inflammatory, they didn’t break TOS and were able to remain on the platform. I have spent two years getting targeted by racist and homophobic abuse from one of @YouTube’s star creators. Today, YouTube decided that none of this violated their terms of service: pic.twitter.com/UReCcQ2Elj — Carlos Maza (@gaywonk) June 4, 2019 The decision sparked outrage from Maza and members of the LGBTQ+ community as they felt YouTube didn’t actually care about them, despite YouTube openly celebrating Pride Month. “I don’t know what else LGBT people are supposed to do,” Maza quote-tweeted in a reply to YouTube’s decision. “I compiled the clips for them. I sent them everything. Publicly begged them to pay attention. It’s never enough. Because YouTube does not give a fuck about protecting marginalized people. It never has.” I don’t know what else LGBT people are supposed to do. I compiled the clips for them. I sent them everything. Publicly begged them to pay attention. It’s never enough. Because @YouTube does not give a fuck about protecting marginalized people, and it never has. — Carlos Maza (@gaywonk) June 4, 2019 Who is Steven Crowder? All of this stems from Crowder’s prolonged attack on Maza, and it looks like it could have some serious repercussions for YouTubers all across the platform. Crowder is a YouTuber with more than 3.8 million subscribers, and he calls himself ‘the number one conservative late night comedy show’, according to his About section on YouTube. He maintains that if his channel were to be taken down, you’d have to remove other late-night hosts from YouTube such as Stephen Colbert, a host well-known for his criticisms of President Donald Trump. .@TeamYouTube made the right decision. If they banned us, they’d have to ban.. pic.twitter.com/hyNK3PhhHU — Steven Crowder (@scrowder) June 5, 2019 While his channel was able to remain on the platform, it was demonetized – but the door is open to get that monetization back. He says YouTube sent him an email saying the following things violated the monetization guidelines: use of his “Socialism is for f*gs” t-shirt, his 2017 video titled “#204 TRANS TROOP BAN, OH NO!!”, and his 2015 video titled “Muslim Rape in UK Exposed by Toni Bugle.” This was revealed by him in his live show held on June 5. Crowder also said he spoke with YouTube, and deduced another adpocalypse was upon us. This means he believes advertisers will be pulling their ads from YouTube, making it difficult for creators to bring in any revenue. “Just spoke with YouTube,” he tweeted. “Confirmed, the second Adpocalpyse IS here and they’re coming for you. More details to follow. Stay tuned. Just spoke with YouTube. Confirmed, the second Adpocalypse IS here and they’re coming for you. More details to follow. Stay tuned. — Steven Crowder (@scrowder) June 5, 2019 Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR‘ Keem says channels have already become demonetized as a result of this situation. Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro called YouTube a ‘joke’ over what has transpired so far. “If YouTube is now going to police insulting speech — not violent speech, not incitement, not actual fake news — because a virulently censorious, radical activist masquerading as a journalist complains about being insulted, they’re a joke.” If @YouTube is now going to police insulting speech — not violent speech, not incitement, not actual fake news — because a virulently censorious, radical activist masquerading as a journalist complains about being insulted, they’re a joke. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 5, 2019 This will definitely be something to keep an eye on and see how YouTube responds moving forward.

Vox Akuma speaks out on fanservice divide in NIJISANJI VTuber’s content YouTube: Vox AkumaVox Akuma has grown to become NIJISANJI EN’s biggest VTuber by providing a mix of chill gaming content and playing up some fanservice for the audience. However some fans feel like he’s strayed too far, and he agrees, with the star looking to change up his tone. Vox Akuma and the rest of NIJIJSANJI EN have catapulted into VTuber stardom in 2022. The demon from the past has a legion of more than a million Kindred, who have diligently supported him on his climb to become the biggest English-speaking talent in the agency. However, as he has grown, there has been a divide of sorts in that fandom. While he got his start with cozy and chill gaming content, some fans started sending suggestive Superchats with elements of fanservice involved. Always wanting to please those sending money his way, Vox typically replied positively, and it led to a spiral of others doing the same thing for recognition. It came to a head at the start of December as some Kindred pointed out the difference in the star’s chat from his debut a year ago to now. It was once full of healthy discussion, but with it now full of suggestive content trying to get a reaction out of Vox, it started becoming uncomfortable. Vox is aware of this, and addressed the divide in his fandom on December 4: “I think a lot of my experiences in my first year, having all of this success, has hit me with a lot of experiences that have changed the way that I think about these kinds of things — but not always accurately. “I’m really sensitive to the idea that some people don’t like aspects of my content that other people do like. It’s an obvious concept, but it gets under my skin a lot. In an ideal world, I would just be a really palatable and enjoyable person that the majority of people really enjoy watching. “But what I’ve been experiencing, over the course of this career I’ve fallen down a certain rabbit hole — purely of my own creation — that’s made me into a certain type of content creator.” The NIJISANJI star admits he fell into the hole of becoming a “fanservice VTuber” purely because he “just enjoyed the approval” of seeing someone in his chat being thankful for him fulfilling their request. As the same names cropped up in chat on a daily basis, it reinforced the pattern. However he believes it also has the potential to alienate new viewers — and at times it’s also made him uncomfortable. “If I found my content as a brand new person, I think I’d find it somewhat impenetrable in a way. There are so many in-jokes and so many traditions, not to mention I agree with people that having a really sus aspect to almost every single stream is kind of exhausting. “I want to be able to make the right thing for everyone, and I want more people than just the people who enjoy this very specific style of content to watch me, but I think over time it’s become so dictated by what a small minority of people want me to do that it’s scaring away anyone else. “For example, streams like a Minecraft stream can just be me chatting and relaxing with everyone which is my favorite thing to do; or it can be one person making an intimate request and because that’s what I do, I’ll respond to that and give it to them and suddenly there’s an avalanche of people that want me to stop and pay attention to them individually.” To try and combat the divide, the star is going to consider new chat rules with his community. A stream has been scheduled for December 5 to discuss the matter, with Vox Akuma asking for input from all Kindred. He’s aware he has a diverse audience, and he doesn’t want to alienate some fans to please another set. Finding that middle ground is going to be tough, but at the end of the day, he wants everyone to remember he is just an entertainer and “it ain’t that deep”. “All I’m trying to do right now is keep my fingers on the pulse of what is generally enjoyed by the majority of people who watch me because I’ve made the mistake in the past to appeal to people who don’t watch me and forgetting what made my own content special in the first place. “At the end of the day, I am a YouTuber. You are watching a guy who is playing video games online. It ain’t that deep. The main thing is creating a community that is nice to be a part of, and content you enjoy watching. That is all.”

Vox Akuma is the first NIJISANJI EN member to hit 1 million YouTube subscribers YouTube: Vox AkumaNIJISANJI EN’s “Milord” Vox Akuma has made history for the agency by being the first English-speaking member to hit 1 million YouTube subscribers. Part of 2021’s Luxiem wave, Akuma shot into stardom rapidly — taking him aback on his celebration stream. Luxiem might be one of NIJISANJI EN’s most recent waves, but it’s home to their biggest record-breaking talent. Vox Akuma has taken just seven months since his December 2021 debut to break 1 million YouTube subscribers and make history for the group. He is the fourth member of the agency overall to break the 1 million mark. Hyakumantenbara Salome was the fastest in history to get the golden Play button after her debut earlier in 2022, while Kuzuha and Kanae have slowly grinded towards and above seven figures. Vox broke 1 million live on stream on July 23, and then very quickly fell back underneath as fans unsubbed just to see the demon lord’s reaction: “You’re all very funny but no please! Give it back! I had it, it was so close.” Once all the Kindreds gave back their subs and he rose above 1 million again, the demon from the past gave a very heartfelt speech. “I worked so incredibly hard this past year and it feels really hard sometimes. It feels like a lot of us — maybe it’s to do with the heatwave in Europe, or how long we’ve been going — but a lot of us in NIJISANJI have been really struggling recently,” he said. “It’s days like this I really remember why working this job is so f**king worth it. Why spending all that time and working that hard — I’m so glad that I reach anybody, but this many people? Look at how huge that number is. I can’t even put into words how many people that is.” In coming to terms with the size of his audience, Vox looked back at what he’s achieved in these seven months. This is not just in terms of content creation and curating a huge fandom, but the amount of “good” in his community. “I’m very blessed to be in a position where I can play games for a living. However, I think any content creator with an audience has the power to do a lot of good, and I’ve seen a lot of good come out of this. I’m looking back upon moments during my birthday, those projects where people said I had encouraged them to change and strengthen their mental state, all from having reached this incredible milestone. It’s kind of unbelievable how much and how far it’s gone. “It’s incredible how much good we have the power to do and I want to keep doing it. Whether it’s that charity stream, or whether it’s just being a part of someone’s life and giving them something to wake up for, just anything, there’s a lot I want to do and there’s a lot I’m still yet to do. “I feel so f**king privileged. I really do. I felt that way when I first accepted this job and I’d be satisfied to stream to a tiny audience and make enough money to make it through the day.” The record-breaking moment made waves off YouTube as well, with “Congrats Vox” trending on Twitter in the hours following the achievement. The next in line for 1 million subs following Vox Akuma in NIJISANJI EN is his gen mate Mysta Rias, who currently boasts 816,000 subscribers.

Voice actor goes viral for spot-on Star Wars impressions Instagram: thathappychapA voice actor has gone viral on Reddit after his girlfriend filmed his uncanny impressions of several different Star Wars characters. [jwplayer RElMDAap] It’s impressive when someone can do an accurate impression of any fictional character, but true talent lies in the person who can do every single character from one franchise. Actor Greg Jones was exposed for his incredible skills when his girlfriend posted a video of him doing as many Star Wars impressions as he could in less than a minute. He successfully impersonated Kylo Ren, Yoda, C3PO, R2D2, Darth Vader, Old Obi-Wan Kenobi, New Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jabba the Hut, Chancellor Palpatine, and Chewbacca. The video has subsequently gone viral on Reddit accruing more than 73,000 upvotes on r/nextf***inglevel and more than 23,000 upvotes on r/toptalent. Fans were amazed at Greg’s impressive range. One person wrote, “I would have his kids, and I’m a dude,” while another fan wrote “Damn, son. Jabba, Chewie, Yoda, and R2D2 are probably the hardest out of the lot and he pretty much nailed all of them. Impressive” Meanwhile, some were a little less impressed that he failed to include Jar Jar Binks among the plethora of characters, with one person adding a comment that read “Meesa thinks he missed one,” and it seems plenty of people agreed — the comment has almost 10,000 points. Fans of Greg Jones can find more of his impressions on TikTok where his girlfriend, under their joint account @lucy_and_greg has uploaded two videos of Greg’s Harry Potter impressions too. He expertly impersonates not only the classics like Snape and Dobby but even can differentiate between the first and second iterations of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore.. Greg has his own personal page too, where he has recently posted sketches where he acts as both Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, and even acts out the scene between Lord Farquad and the Gingerbread Man in Shrek.

Pikamee leaves VOMS following Hogwarts Legacy controversy YouTube: PikameePikamee, a popular VTuber signed with talent agency VOMS, has requested to leave the organization following controversy after she expressed a desire to stream Hogwarts Legacy. Hogwarts Legacy has sparked an avalanche of debate ever since its launch on February 10. Fans of the Harry Potter franchise have both praised and criticized the title, largely due to comments made by the series’ author, J. K. Rowling, regarding trans people. Upon its launch, a slew of streamers were faced with backlash for broadcasting the game — not the least of which were VTubers, creators who use virtual, anime-inspired avatars to represent themselves on-screen. Most notably, popular VTuber Silvervale ended one of her streams in tears after coming under fire due to Twitch’s auto-mod program, which had automatically banned the word “trans” in her chat due to the possibility that it was being used for harassment. Although Silvervale promised to push through in spite of the backlash, another VTuber has made the decision to step away from creating content after undergoing harsh treatment online from critics of Hogwarts Legacy. Pikamee chooses to ‘graduate’ VOMS after Hogwarts Legacy backlash Amano Pikamee is an OG VTuber who garnered a dedicated fan base due to her upbeat personality and humorous gaming streams. She, like many other streamers, wanted to broadcast Hogwarts Legacy upon release, and was met with a wave of criticism and harassment that ultimately prompted her to go dark for several weeks. On March 1, 2023, VTuber agency VOMS released a statement via Twitter claiming that Pikamee has decided to “graduate” from their organization. “We regret to inform you that Amano Pikamee, a member of our group, will graduate from the group and terminate her activities as of March 31, 2023,” the statement reads. “We discussed this with Pikamee herself and in respect of her wishes, we have decided to ‘graduate’ in a positive way.” The statement went on to explain that Pikamee will continue streaming until March 31, after which her content, memberships, SNS, and VOMS Project products will come to a halt. Pikamee speaks out amid decision to graduate from VOMS Pikamee also uploaded a YouTube video explaining the situation, where she thanked fans for the “love and sweet words” they had given her during her time at VOMS. “I am so sorry for shocking you guys like this,” she said. “Despite all the sad things, I still have a month left, so I hope we can have a lot of fun times.” Thus far, Pikamee’s fanbase has been showing an outpouring of support for the VTuber amid this latest news. Luckily, Pika herself seems to be taking her graduation with lighthearted spirits, as seen in a Tweet she posted the day of the big announcement. This is the latest installment in the ongoing drama surrounding streamers playing Hogwarts Legacy after critics brought ‘Girlfriend Reviews’ to tears after she and her fiancé decided to broadcast the title shortly after release.

Vlog Squad’s Jonah makes his dad’s year after buying him a restaurant YouTube: JONAH / Instagram: nickantonyanThings got emotional after the Vlog Squad’s Nick ‘Jonah’ Antonyan surprised his father by buying him a fully decked out kebab restaurant. If there’s one thing viewers love to see, it’s YouTubers and influencers using their position to do amazing things for their family and friends. Whether it’s giving them a new car or a big check, it’s always great to see the inevitably emotional outcome. Jonah decided to take things up a notch by buying his dad a whole restaurant and surprising him with it. In the video, he showed off the fully decorated kebab restaurant and prepared to bring his father in blindfolded to make sure he didn’t know what was going on. View this post on Instagram With who appears to be David Dobrik behind the camera, Jonah guided his dad inside the building, telling him: “You’ve been supporting me since day one. I love you, and you’ve done everything for me. Finally, he took the blindfold off, and he immediately teared up seeing the incredible gift, before hugging his son emotionally. In a heartfelt Instagram caption next to the video, the YouTuber explained why he decided to make the big decision. “My dad has been the biggest supporter of my comedy ever since I was a kid,” he wrote. “Growing up, we didn’t have much. My parents immigrated to the United States in their early twenties and had my sister and I a couple years later.” View this post on Instagram “They struggled to make ends meet but when our family was going through our toughest times, my parents always brought us together with cooking and food. Going through this struggle together I vowed to do something for my family. I made sure to try my best, set a few goals, and patiently work towards them.” Viewers were of course delighted to see Jonah’s father’s reaction to the surprise, with some even saying they got emotional just watching it.

Vlog Squad’s Durte Dom apologizes & responds to ‘unfair’ allegations YouTube, Durte DomAfter weeks of silence, former Vlog Squad member Durte Dom has finally responded to a series of recent allegations made against him for sexually inappropriate behavior. Over the past month or so, David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad have been beset by a long list of accusations surrounding sexual impropriety and assault. At the center of a number of these allegations has been Dominykas ‘Durte Dom’ Zeglaitis, who had not responded to any until now. The first allegations surfaced on March 17, 2021, when Dom was accused of sexual assault during a Vlog Squad content filming session back in 2018. As she explained, she was underage and after being given alcohol by the content creators, was “too intoxicated to consent” when Dom ‘took advantage’ of her. Then, on March 20, two more women alleged that Dom was sexually inappropriate toward them. Although Dobrik has posted two apologies responding to the recent accusations toward himself and his Vlog Squad, Dom had yet to officially respond to anything — until now. In a post shared to his Instagram story, Dom takes two paragraphs to apologize, explain that he finds the accusations “misleading,” and make it known that he has donated money to charity. Just judging by reactions across social media, people don’t seem thrilled with the latter two prongs of his three-pronged response. Dom starts by expressing empathy with his accusers: “I want to sincerely apologize directly to the women involved in this incident. I definitely empathize with the pain that everyone has suffered in this matter.” Then, he continues to counter those accusers’ allegations: “As far as I am concerned, everything that occurred during the night in question was completely consensual. I believe the statements that have come out against me are entirely misleading and shed an incorrect light on my involvement.” As Twitter replies show, people don’t find the latter parts of his apology to be convincing. Dom says that his “character is being unfairly attacked,” but social media appears unconvinced. Various reactions surround how “late” this apology is and how denial during an apology fails to show real accountability. Wanting to “show the world who I truly am,” Dom explains that he has “donated my time as well as thousands of dollars to several women’s right groups.” A cursory glance at social media shows that people are not impressed by this statement and have instead focused more on Dom’s assertion that he has been “unfairly attacked.”

Vlog Squad’s Jeff Wittek on his experience of James Charles hitting on him A prominent member of David Dobrik’s Vlog squad, Jeff Wittek, has spoken out about the James Charles situation after featuring in a number of compilation videos where the makeup guru hit on straight guys. Tati Westbrook’s video on James Charles was released on May 10, and featured a number of accusations against the openly gay 19 year old, which included claims that he had attempted to manipulate straight men into having sex with him. After Tati’s video went live, over a million people unsubscribed from James Charles’ channel in just over 24 hours and the media went into overdrive reporting about the allegations. Despite releasing an apology video, the numbers on James’ channel continued to plummet after losing a record breaking 2.7 million subs in five days. His video was also disliked into the top 10 disliked videos of all time. Jeff Wittek is one of the newest members of David Dobrik’s ‘Vlog Squad’, a group of prominent YouTubers who feature in the highly popular 4 minute 20 second videos. The New Jersey native is often referred to as the ‘best looking’ in the group and it appeared James Charles agreed with that when they met up for a number of video collaborations. During the making of those videos, James Charles was openly flirtatious towards Jeff, which prompted at the time a slew of comments that the two should date, despite Jeff stating that he was straight. Following the scandal created due to Tati Westbrook’s video, Jeff Wittek has now spoken out about the situation on his podcast, The Skotcast, and has defended James over his involvement in the allegations. “For a while it was annoying people saying ‘date James, date James’. I did a collaboration with James, and all the people at home they want to comment to say ‘date James’ and then something goes wrong with him and now everybody is saying I need to unfollow James. I don’t need to do shit, just like when I collaborated with him and he said some things that were a little flirty, and I was like ‘hey man not gay, let’s move on’. And then he was like ok, we’ll move on, let’s do a video and we talked about it in the video and that was the end of the story. So people saying that he was using his fame and power to manipulate people to have sex with him, if you just say no then it’s over with. What’s the big deal? Why is he having a big cancel party? I don’t get it.” Discussion starts 10:38 Jeff, his co-host Todd and guest, Jason Nash, go on to discuss how people are quick to celebrate the downfall of a personality when someone goes wrong, comparing it to a TV show rather than someone’s real life. At the time of writing the article, James Charles has lost over 2.7 million subscribers on YouTube, and since posting his explanation video on May 10, has remained radio silent across all social media.

Vladimir Kramnik boycotts Chess.com, blames “obvious cheaters” after Hans Niemann defeat Chess.com / IG: hans_niemannGrandmaster Vladimir Kramnik has thrown in the towel on Chess.com, claiming that the site is riddled with “obvious cheaters” after being defeated by Hans Niemann. Kramnik’s decision to boycott the site came after his recent defeat to Niemann on September 18 during the Champions Chess Tour Play-In event. Kramnik, a former World Champion, expressed his frustration on his Chess.com profile, stating: “I have decided to stop playing on chesscom from tomorrow on. Just too many obvious cheaters here and nothing is done to clean the platform from those small crooks. Harsh words but true.” He continued, “Hope would come back one day if it will be cleaned from at least obvious cheaters. I promise I will continue trying my best to save chess from this disease.” The older Grandmaster, who has been less active in online chess compared to the younger generation, seemed to struggle against Niemann’s tactics in their latest game. Grandmaster Daniel King even noted that Niemann appeared to be “living rent-free in Kramnik’s head,” suggesting a psychological edge in Niemann’s favor. Kramnik’s boycott now means that Chess.com is at the center of controversy once again. In 2022, the site played a part in what was a major “cheating” scandal involving Hans Niemann and World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen. Niemann, who defeated Carlsen in a high-profile game, faced allegations of cheating, leading to a report by Chess.com that suggested Niemann had cheated in numerous online games. The report, while not directly accusing Niemann of cheating against Carlsen, cast a shadow over the young player’s reputation. Niemann later filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Carlsen, Chess.com, and other prominent figures in the chess community, such as Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, which has since been resolved. The chess community will be watching closely to see how Chess.com responds to Kramnik’s allegations and whether other players will follow suit in boycotting the platform.

Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittek says he’s done being friends with David Dobrik YouTube: Jeff Wittek / VIEWSVlog Squad member Jeff Wittek has finally had it with David Dobrik, telling fans that their friendship is finally over. The Vlog Squad have become known for their outlandish pranks and risky stunts, but OG member Jeff Wittek has finally had it with Dobrik after the 2020 crane incident that almost cost Wittek his life. In June 2020, the group put an excavator in a lake. Dobrik sat in the driver’s seat, spinning his friends around on the crane attached to a rope. Things quickly went south after Wittek took his turn, spinning around at great speeds and causing him to collide with the excavator, permanently damaging his left eye. Fast-forward almost a year and a half and nine surgeries later, Wittek is starting to realize that Dobrik is a “fake friend.” View this post on Instagram In a recent live stream (uploaded to Instagram by Def Noodles), Wittek was asked by a fan if David had messaged him to check up after the surgery. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case. “Nope. Nope. Not a text or nothing,” Wittek revealed. “Not surprised, you know. It is what it is… I’m done being fake friends with that motherf**ker.” Wittek’s latest comments come shortly after the 32-year-old barber unfollowed Dobrik on Instagram. View this post on Instagram Fans are now calling on Wittek to sue Dobrik for life-long injuries. “Lmfao no sh*t, it’s not too late to sue him for the lifelong injuries,” one fan commented. “I really hope Jeff gets justice, tbh,” another user said. Wittek is set to co-host the “Roast Of Bryce Hall‘ on February 25th, with fellow Vlog Squad members Nick ‘Jonah’ Antonyan and Jason Nash.

Vitor Belfort offers to train Bryce Hall after viral KO: “I see a lot of toughness in you” YouTube: Bryce HallUFC legend Vitor Belfort has officially extended a helping hand to TikTok star Bryce Hall, offering to train the influencer after knocking him off his feet in the boxing ring. Influencer boxing continues to steamroll both the world of combat sports and the social media sphere, with more and more content creators stepping into the ring to show off their physical prowess. Bryce Hall is one such influencer, who took to the boxing ring on June 12 to face off against YouTuber Austin McBroom in the Battle of the Platforms. While Hall ended up losing his debut bout, he isn’t down for the count just yet. After KO’ing a German influencer in his own backyard, Hall went on to spar against Brazilian mixed martial artist Vitor Belfort — one of the most prolific knockout artists in the UFC. View this post on Instagram While the experience he gained from this sparring match is likely invaluable, he took a few body blows before bowing out, falling to his feet with a few audible groans. Read More: UFC star Colby Covington says Jake Paul won’t train with fighters who “make him look bad” – Luckily for Hall, it doesn’t look like his tutelage under the greats is over. Upon knocking Hall to his knees, Vitor offered to train the Sway House star while the UFC legend gears up for his own upcoming exhibition match against Oscar De La Hoya in September. “I see a lot of toughness in you, but you are a bull who has to be trained,” Belfort said in complete Rocky fashion. “I wanna ask you guys to find him an opponent, the same day I fight Oscar. You come, you train like a fighter. My rules become your rules. Find you an opponent, I’ll be your trainer.” Belfort’s inspiring words prompted a round of applause from those assembled, which Hall celebrated by giving his “Adrian” (read: TikToker Riley Hubatka) a smooch. (Sparring match begins at 3:14) While there’s no telling who Hall will take on next, fans can look forward to the TikToker potentially stepping in the boxing ring once again come September — this time, with a lot more experience under his belt.

Vitaly reveals why his boxing fight with Logan Paul has been canceled Popular YouTuber Vitaly ‘VitalyzdTv’ Zdorovetskiy has revealed why his planned fight with Logan Paul got canceled, following the KSI bout, in an appearance on Adam22’s No Jumper podcast. The YouTuber went viral following the rematch between KSI and Logan Paul due to an altercation he had at the event with fellow content creator Bradley Martyn, who specializes in health and fitness content. Though Vitaly came out of the scenario looking worse off than he had before it, beef with Bradley Martyn wasn’t the reason he was in attendance. It turns out that the Russian had an ulterior motive for attending the fight, as he has revealed that he was originally supposed to have a fight with Logan Paul following the biggest event in YouTube’s history. In an interview with Adam ‘Adam22’ Grandmaison, Vitaly revealed that he was actually scouting out the competition at the fight, as he had plans to fight Logan Paul after he beat KSI. Of course, KSI actually won the match, meaning the fight isn’t likely to happen anymore, which Vitaly went into detail on during the No Jumper podcast. “Logan was supposed to win. Agents contacted me two weeks before the fight and asked if I wanted to fight Logan, and I said absolutely. They said ‘Logan Paul said yes, he will fight you if he wins’, and they send me the agreement.” After the split decision win for KSI was announced, Vitaly said he acted straight away. “As soon as I tried to run up to the ring to call out KSI, everybody knew. The security were on their radios, they were looking at me, so I just started screaming and talking sh*t. Then the Bradley situation happened.” He also confirmed that although he wasn’t allowed to enter the ring, he was sure Logan would have called him up after the fight. It’s unclear where Vitaly goes from here: he did call out KSI, but KSI doesn’t seem particularly interested in the fight, and with how much money he must have made from the Logan Paul rematch, we can’t blame him. It’s possible we still see Paul and Vitaly throw it down in the ring at some point, as the latter suggested that there was good money involved, but this situation may be different since Logan lost.

Vitaly responds after NELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt challenges him to boxing match YouTube: SteveWillDoIt, VitalyzdTvA huge influencer boxing match could be in the works very soon between YouTube stars SteveWillDoIt and Vitaly — and the internet can’t wait for them to throw down. The age of influencer boxing has produced a slew of high-profile bouts between some of social media’s biggest stars. Kicking off with Joe Weller vs KSI in 2018, names like the Paul brothers and Bryce Hall have brought the trend to new heights… and more internet celebs are looking to get in on the profitable gag. In wake of Logan Paul’s highly-anticipated bout with Floyd Mayweather and the YouTubers vs TikTokers event this past weekend, it seems that social media is rife with influencers calling each other out — and far be it from the NELK Boys to buck the trend. SteveWillDoIt, a popular (and incredibly charitable) YouTuber in league with the infamous group of internet pranksters known as the NELK Boys, called out fellow YouTuber Vitaly ‘VitalyzdTv’ Zdorovetskiy in a recent video (although, admittedly, there was no beef behind his callout). After asking his buddies who he should challenge, he settled on Vitaly… and it looks like the veteran content creator — also known for his own ridiculous pranks that have landed him in a “horrible” Egyptian jail — has accepted. (Topic begins at 7:00) Apparently a man of few words in this regard, Vitaly responded to a fan’s tweet discussing the possible fight with a short, but sweet: “I can’t wait.” This has already sparked a tsunami of excitement among their fans, who can’t wait to see two of YouTube’s biggest pranksters throw down in the boxing ring. This latest potential matchup comes in wake of TikToker Mads Lewis entertaining a bout with rival Nessa Barrett, as well as names like RiceGum and iDubbz apparently gearing up for an official match sometime in the future. For now, it looks like everyone’s caught the boxing bug — but it remains to be seen if Vitaly and Steve will actually go through with their proposition.

Vitaly returns to YouTube after a year off and nobody noticed VitalyzdtvVeteran YouTuber Vitaly ‘VitalyzdTv’ Zdorovetskiy returned to the platform after more than a year-long break from making videos, but most of his viewers don’t seem to have gotten the message. Those who have been on YouTube for a number of years have probably heard of or seen some of Vitaly’s infamous prank videos in the past. Some of his most popular were the “Russian Hitman” stunts. The original version actually landed him in jail, but also racked up more than 18 million views in a week – an almost unheard-of accomplishment on the site back in 2012. In 2021 however, it seems like Vitaly’s main YouTube channel just isn’t pulling in the numbers it once did. https://youtu.be/VDhu7QA3tbs Vitaly finally released his first new video in more than a year to his main channel on May 12, after not uploading since March of 2020. Titled “Changing A Homeless Man Life!” It follows the Russian-American YouTuber as he picks up a homeless person from the streets of LA. As far as content goes, it’s the classic YouTube philanthropy of finding a down-on-their-luck individual and helping them out. Vitaly genuinely seems to assist the guy named Nick, but the video only has roughly 88,000 views compared to his last one before the year-long hiatus which racked up over 1 million. There are a couple of explanations why this could be happening. One is that this isn’t the first time Vitaly has done a video like this. He has a whole series of helping out people instead of pranking them, so maybe viewers just aren’t as interested as they once were. Whatever the reason, Vitaly himself doesn’t seem to be too concerned with the drop in YouTube views. The influencer has stayed busy running his other sites, and even paid for a streaker to run across the field during the 2021 Super Bowl – though you might have missed it, as it wasn’t broadcasted on television. Not being able to muster the views they once were able to is a common trend for some creators who have been on YouTube for a long time. That being said, Vitaly’s prank videos are far more popular than his ones helping people out, so when a new one of those is released, we very well could see his viewership numbers go back up.

Vitaly files police report against n3on’s girlfriend for battery Instagram/vitalythegoat/samxfrank’s profile picture samxfrank/n3onsinghNew tension is simmering between rival Kick streamers N3on and Vitaly after police were called in response to n3on’s girlfriend, Sam Frank, spitting on Vitaly at an event. There’s no love lost between rival Kick streamers Rangesh “n3on” Mutam and Vitaly Zdorovetskiy now. The pair most recently butting heads at one of N3on’s recent collaborative stream events. The drama began when Vitaly approached n3on asking for an autograph. He then proceeded to show the other streamer and his girlfriend a series of photographs, which weren’t visible on camera. It’s alleged in the video these photographs were of Sam Frank, taken from her OnlyFan’s account. The other streamer’s prank didn’t go over well with the couple. “What the f**k is wrong with you?” Sam can be heard yelling on the video. “You’re a grown a*s man doing this.” N3on then tells Vitaly, after reiterating it “doesn’t matter” if his partner is on OnlyFans. The trouble escalated further when Sam then spat at Vitaly in anger. An action that can carry a criminal charge. The streamer proceeded to rub his fingers across his face and into his mouth, before telling Sam, “Now we’ve kissed.” But the drama wasn’t over yet. With Vitaly calling the police to report Sam for battery. A video posted from N3on’s point of view showed an officer pulling them over to talk with Sam. The officer can be heard telling Sam he might have to “arrest her” because spitting at someone is a battery offense. Vitaly then told the officer he’d drop his charge if Sam apologized on the spot. Which she did. However, he’s since changed his mind about the situation once again. Later posting a video of himself leaving a police station after filing a report. In the video, Vitaly suggests he feels that Sam should be “an example.” “I am standing up for all the f***ing men bro.” He said, also claiming if a man spat on a girl he’d have to “go to f***ing jail.” Not everyone agrees with Vitaly’s take on the situation, however, with fellow streamer Jack Doherty calling him out. Doherty also referred to the Russian streamer’s own brush with similar charges in the past. Currently there is no information about whether Sam Frank has formally been charged with any crime or misdemeanor related to the incident.

Vitaly describes “horrible” Egyptian jail after scaling Pyramid of Giza Pixabay / Instagram: kingvitalyVitaly Zdorovetskiy reportedly spent five nights in an Egyptian jail after being arrested for scaling the Great Pyramid of Giza, describing the experience as “horrible” to his fans. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and is heralded as one of Egypt’s most historic relics. In his “take over Egypt” trip, the Russian YouTuber found himself in hot water after scaling the landmark. Vitaly was allegedly locked up for five days after climbing to the top of the pyramid, and while it’s not his first time in the slammer, it was certainly his “worst.” “No words can explain what I just went through the past five days,” he said, talking about the conditions of the Egyptian prison. “I was locked up in Egypt because I climbed the Pyramids of Giza.” He went on to say that he saw some terrible things, and that the experience was terrifying. “I’ve been in jail many times but this one was by far the very worst. I saw horrible things and I don’t wish this upon anybody,” he said. However, Vitaly reserved no regrets for it all, adding climbing the relic was one of the best moments of his life and he’s got some good footage to share with fans. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7T52UEHshG/ “Was it worth it? F**k yeah! I did it for a good cause and soon I’m going to share the whole video so the whole world can see,” he said. He hasn’t revealed what the good cause was, but the YouTuber has used his 10 million strong following on the platform to donate money to charities in the past. Read more: Logan Paul now dating Josie Canseco – The YouTuber often shares tidbits of his extravagant life on social media, and scaling the pyramids is up there as one of his more outlandish endeavors. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7G61cOHg2B/ He’s no stranger to trying to get views from the top of the world’s most historic monuments though. The Russian arrested over climbing the Hollywood sign back in 2016, as well as numerous other cases of trespass at major sporting events. However, he might think twice about doing it again if he wants to avoid a nasty stay in jail in a foreign country, especially if it was as bad as he suggested.

ViruZz allegedly used steroids to win bout against DK Money YouTube: DAZN X SeriesSpanish influencer ViruZz’s boxing victory over fellow creator DK Money will reportedly be overturned after ViruZz was allegedly found to have “10 times” the amount of testosterone in his body following an investigation. The world of influencer-boxing continues to make waves as more and more content creators step into the ring to test their mettle. However, some of these bouts can spark major drama. Claims of fixed matches, biased judges, and even steroid use have cropped up in the spectator sport here and there throughout its short lifetime. Most recently, a bout on the Misfits x DAZN Series 007 card has come under scrutiny after one of its fighters purportedly admitted to using illegal substances to enhance his performance. ViruZz’s win over DK Money to be overturned due to alleged steroid use On May 13, Spanish influencer and former handball player Víctor ‘ViruZz’ Mélida faced off with American rival DK Money on the Misfits 007 card. ViruZz’s performance during the bout became a hot topic of conversation. Despite getting knocked down, ViruZz delivered a second-round knockout to his opponent, taking the victory in a spectacular comeback. However, it has since been claimed that ViruZz has admitted to using steroids, as first reported by Happy Punch Boxing. The promotion also claims that, following an investigation by the Professional Boxing Association, the influencer-boxer was found to have “ten times” the amount of normal testosterone in his body. As a result, his win is expected to be overturned, marking potentially the second victory DK Money will have earned by disqualification. This isn’t the first time an influencer-boxing match result has been overturned. Last year, FaZe Temperrr successfully appealed his loss to King Kenny at a USA vs UK boxing event amid claims that the bout was “rigged.”

Virus leaves FaZe Clan and claims owners “hated” him after anti-LGBT tweet FaZe Clan/Instagram: fazevirusssFormer FaZe Clan streamer and YouTuber Talal ‘Virus’ Almalki has officially left the organization, citing issues with their treatment of him and even accusing senior members of the organization of “hating” him. Virus was the first member to join FaZe Clan that lived in the Middle East, representing a big push into a whole new market for the former sniping clan, as the winner of FaZe5 in 2020. Hailing from Saudi Arabia, Virus brought with him a legion of new fans that might not have engaged with FaZe before, but things turned sour when he was called out for an anti-LGBTQ+ tweet during Pride Month in 2022. After the team tweeted out their support of Pride Month, Virus said that as a Muslim, he does not support it due to his religious views, in a tweet that was deleted fairly promptly as it started to blow up. Several months later, on January 23, 2023, Virus confirmed in a YouTube video that he had left FaZe, and felt as though he had been wronged by them throughout his tenure. “Throughout 2022, I wasn’t proud of ‘FaZe Virus,’” he explained. “I was ashamed. I had a strange feeling. “When I started in 2021, there is no denial that there were great things going on in the Clan — I was happy thinking that this is my place and this is the place where I accomplish my dreams. He mentioned that the organization never really appreciated his ideas to bring FaZe to the Middle East, and all the big plans he had since joining them, even when directly trying to bridge FaZe to a Saudi Arabian team, saying that “no one gives a sh*t.” He continued: “In 2022, they put up a specific tweet, and I was awake at 4 AM and I started getting messages and notifications of people asking me ‘why are you supporting them’ and as someone that represents both FaZe and Saudi Arabia, I had to say something.” “I spent 10 minutes crafting a response that didn’t harm anyone, but I wish I didn’t give it any thought, these dirty, sick people with their tweet.” He claims another non-Muslim member agreed with him at the time, saying that Virus said nothing wrong and “only expressed his opinion to fans.” Virus added that following this incident, he felt “hate” from many people within the organization: “There was a founder who hated me so much, which he didn’t express, but I just felt like he wanted to kill me.” “I also lost contracts along the way, valued at half a million Riyals,” he explained. “It put me in a bad position because after I signed these contracts, I was expecting to see the money in three months. Thinking it was in my future, I decided to go upgrade my car, you won’t believe how much it was, but I upgraded it for around 100,000 Riyals. “I paid for the car, and then lost the 500,000 Riyals [approximately $133k]. Imagine the situation I was put in. My life turned upside down … Through it all, the worst part is that I felt like my creativity was being sucked out of me, and my wings were being cut off.” FaZe Clan has not commented on Virus leaving the organization, though his creator page is still up on their website.

Virtual Instagram egg apparently isn’t a fan of Logan Paul Logan Paul, YouTube / InstagramControversial YouTuber Logan Paul received some subtle shade from the ‘Instagram egg,’ which rose to fame after uploading the most-liked picture to Instagram in hopes of breaking a world record. Paul uploaded a screenshot of DMs with the egg to Twitter on January 17, where he asked the owner of the egg’s account to make a guest appearance on his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast. “You should come on my imPaulsive podcast as a face reveal,” Paul asked, adding the ‘🤫’ emoji for good measure. However, the egg never responded, instead leaving Paul on ‘Seen.’ Paul appeared to take the shade in good spirits, captioning his screenshot of the interaction with a humorous message. “Omg, the egg left me on ‘Seen,’” Paul wrote of the incident. While the egg has successfully conquered the Instagram world (surpassing Kylie Jenner’s photo by over 30 million likes), it has now set its sights on Twitter, aiming to break the current record of most retweets on the platform – which currently sits at 5.3 million. Additionally, popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has taken the fight to YouTube, aiming to have his ‘Egg Challenge’ video become the second most liked non-music video on the website. As of January 18, MrBeast’s video at tenth place in the runnings, with over four million likes. YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg recently took first place with his rendition of YouTube Rewind 2018, after mass dissatisfaction with YouTube’s own, official video on the subject.

Viral wool hat mesmerizes TikTok users with color-changing optical illusion TikTok: oteliacarmenA simple wool hat is taking TikTok by storm as users are left astounded by the cap’s astonishing color-changing optical illusion. First came the white-gold, blue-black dress debate. Then followed the viral waist-cinching optical illusion dress that took over TikTok (not to mention the auditory ‘Yanny’ vs ‘Laurel’ chaos). Now, another article of clothing is taking over the internet, and it’s confounding TikTokers with its near-unbelievable color changing abilities. On November 18, environment designer Otelia Carmen uploaded a video to the platform showing off her new winter hat. It’s a simple article of clothing — a basic winter beanie with a puff of faux fur on top. Color-changing winter hat goes viral on TikTok However, the actual color of the hat is causing some debate online. Carmen was shocked to see that the hat, which she had initially thought was green, had mysteriously changed colors when she brought it home. Read More: How to watch Stitches on TikTok – Her TikTok taking the hat through different rooms in her house has gone viral, showing the beanie changing from brown to red to green. Carmen chalks up this incredible anomaly to “metamerism,” a phenomenon where the color of two different objects can appear to be the same under a certain light source. To prove that she wasn’t applying a filter, the designer moved from room to room inside her home while wearing the cap without cutting away — and sure enough, the cap changed colors from brown to red to green again. The internet’s collective mind has been blown by this jaw-dropping hat, with some users in the comments refusing to believe the optical illusion is real, while others want to know what material the hat is made out of. This phenomenon is similar to the white/blue dress from 2015, which scientists concluded was caused by a “confusion” between the kinds of light hitting the dress and how our brains process that information. Thus far, Carmen’s videos showing off her magical hat have garnered millions of views in the span of a single day. The TikToker claims that she picked up the viral cap at MARC’S — and we’re certain they’ll be seeing an influx of customers hoping to try out the hat for themselves.

Virginia school board meeting goes viral after fake names Bart Simpson prank Twitter: @lovinmygirls218A Virginia school board meeting in Henrico county has gone viral on Twitter after it went horribly wrong. Described as “some Bart Simpson sh*t”, Roscoe D. Cooper III read out a list of names such as “Ophelia McCaulk” and “Phil McCraken” A meeting by the Henrico School Board was hijacked by some prankers who had the board read out a bunch of names that while on paper seem fine, when spoken aloud have a very different meaning. The prank came after one parent demanded that the board did not pass a policy. The chair, Roscoe D. Cooper III, then proceeded to call the next person up. First up is Phil McCracken who is then followed by Suk Mahidik. There’s no answer to both names and Cooper dryly moves onto Ophelia McCaulk. Throughout the whole episode, it appears Cooper doesn’t catch onto the prank initially and proceeds to read out more names. These include Eileen Dover, Don Kedick, and Wayne Kerr. If you still haven’t cottoned onto what’s going on, these are phonetic versions of various sexual phrases. Thankfully some users have broken down what each one was supposed to mean. In case you couldn’t work some of them out. In order: Phil McCraken (fill my crack in). Suck Mahdick (suck my dick) Ophelia McCaulk (Oh, feel ya’ my cock.) Eileen Dover (I leaned over). Don Kedick (donkey dick.) Wayne Kerr (wanker).— Machine Pun Kelly (@KellyScaletta) August 31, 2021 The prank goes viral The video has now gone insanely viral on Twitter with 7.1 million views with nearly 400,000 likes on one Tweet. Reactions included one person saying, “some kids pranked a school board meeting on some Bart Simpson sh*t and I am crying!!” Some kids pranked a school board meeting on some Bart Simpson shit and I am crying!! 😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/c9fX3GbejA — 🇵🇦Jess🇵🇷 (@lovinmygirls218) August 30, 2021 Many people compared it to the pranks that Bart Simpson used to play on callers in the hit series ‘The Simpsons’ on people using names that sounded like rude phrases when said aloud. Another person said, “these kids really on some tech stuff ” while others said their wives or strangers on the street checked in on them because they were laughing so much. Others said that Cooper, who read the names at the meeting, should get a medal for keeping a straight face after he realized what was happening with Eileen Dover.

Viral Walmart “thief” hits back at claims he was stealing groceries YOUTUBE: KMOV St. LouisA Walmart shopper was accused of theft after a viral video showed him placing numerous items into his bag without scanning them at a self-checkout line. However, he has now hit back at those claims. Bill Astle faced backlash after a customer at the Green Mount Commons Walmart in Belleville, Illinois recorded him filling his shopping cart with groceries, seemingly without paying for them. “This man is literally just stealing everything,” a woman behind the camera said in a short clip. “He ain’t scanning sh*t. So open about it, look at the screen, nothing ringing up.” The 14-second video was posted on various social media platforms, and went viral with over 15.6 million views on Twitter/X. Many commenters slammed the man and accused him of theft. “This is why Walmart is getting rid of the self-checkout. This idea backfired hard on them. Theft is through the roof,” one said. “This is why the rest of us have to pay an arm and leg for the small things,” another wrote. But Astle, who revealed that he works for Spark, Walmart’s delivery service, insists that he’s innocent and was just doing his job. “I’m not a thief. I’m being pictured and painted as a thief on the internet,” he told First Alert 4. He shared that as a Walmart employee, he’s able to scan products directly on his phone while picking them up. “Everything is done off the phone, so when we get to the register, we’re not actually scanning a single item,” Astle told the outlet. When a Spark shopper reaches the register, he explained that they’re required to scan their phone using the self-checkout machine and then bag the items. By scanning the products on their phones, there is no need to scan them again at the register. Astle is now trying to clear his name as more people approach him when he shops, asking if he was a thief. “I’ve had customers say, ‘Hey, didn’t I see you on the internet? Didn’t you steal items?’ And then I have to explain to people what I’m doing,” Astle shared. “Had they continued the video for another 30 seconds, they would’ve seen when I got done with the Spark delivery order, I scanned two dozen roses.”

Viral Willy Wonka event allegedly getting a horror movie but is it all a hoax? TikTok: lifeonmarz.wtfA viral Willy Wonka experience that left attendees outraged will now see one iconic character get their own movie… but is it all a hoax? Following the success of Wonka, a new interactive experience in Glasgow failed to have the same impact on disappointed attendees. Titled ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience,’ the “awful event” left children in tears and was ultimately shut down, with multiple actors involved speaking out against the organizers and the “embarrassing experience.” However, for one new character added just for the event, Willy’s Chocolate Experience might be their big break. ‘The Unknown’ was ultimately the cause of many children’s discomfort. Now, many sites are crediting Bloody Disgusting with a report that Scotland-based film production company ‘Kaledonia Pictures’ is looking to put the character on the big screen. There’s only one problem — Kaledonia Pictures might not exist. The alleged production company first shared its plans with Bloody Disgusting, claiming the film would be “gearing up for production and a late 2024 release” with the storyline following “a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie.” “Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an unknowable evil awaits them,” the plot synopsis continued. And it didn’t take long for other news sites to latch onto the story. But internet sleuths were quick to notice that Kaledonia Pictures has no online presence and doesn’t seem to exist outside reports surrounding the supposedly upcoming film. “I think this might actually be bullsh**,” one person wrote on X. “I tried to look up ‘Kaledonia Pictures’ and all I found was two separate companies called ‘Caledonia Pictures’, with a C. Neither of them make movies. The only references I found to the studio were the article linked, and others citing it.” Another said, “Once again, a singular internet article on one site is being taken as news. The company that is allegedly producing this film, Kaledonia Pictures, has no presence anywhere online, which means you are clearly being duped, just like those families that paid for that Wonka tour.” For now, there really is no telling if this horror flick is going ahead or if this is just another step in the viral chaos of it all.

Viral ‘Wakey Wines’ unbanned on TikTok amid Prime Energy and Cold Candy drama TikTok: wakey_wines01924724141UK-based convenience store ‘Wakey Wines’ has been unbanned on TikTok after just a day amid drama around its prices for Prime Energy cans as well as allegedly “ripping off” another candy brand. Since Logan Paul and KSI launched Prime Hydration in early 2022, fans have gone crazy for the product. The company is struggling to keep it in stock throughout the US, and fans in the UK have gone as far as selling the drink for absurd prices. The YouTubers expanded Prime’s product lineup in early 2023, bringing them into the US energy drink industry, with a UK launch coming in April 2023. UK-based convenience store ‘Wakey Wines’ has its hands on all five flavors and left fans shocked after advertising them for over $100 a can on TikTok. Shortly after their video went viral, the Wakey Wines account was hit with a ban. The company is back on TikTok a day later, alongside a second controversy regarding its custom-branded candy line. Wakey Wines unbanned on TikTok amid Prime and Candy drama Alongside the popularity behind their viral Prime Can advertisement video, Wakey Wines also brought more eyes to its custom-branded ‘WFD Sweets’ candy line. However, many believe the candy is a direct copy of another popular UK-based candy line called Cold Candy. DMODeejay, the mastermind behind Cold Candy, posted on Instagram shortly after Wakey Wines was banned on TikTok. He said: “I’m a COOL, positive MF… until I get violated….” Fans have taken to the comments on Wakey Wines’ TikTok page to share their thoughts on the situation as well. “Never try to outdo dmo, he can’t be topped. #dmoarmy,” one user replied. Another commented: “cold candy is the real deal, not your sweets.” “What’re the best sweets in wakey? none because they’re all rubbish! want good sweets, go to Cold Candy,” a third viewer replied. Wakey Wines’ owner hasn’t directly responded to any of the backlash at the time of writing, but with DMO and KSI angry at his actions, we may get a response sooner than later. We’ll have to wait to see.

Viral video shows ‘terrifying’ moment cruise ship hallway floods with water TIKTOK: dawn7877A passenger went viral on TikTok after filming the ‘terrifying’ moment water started gushing through a cruise ship ceiling. In a viral clip with 13.5 million views, content creator Amber (dawn7877) showed water flooding the hallway of a Carnival Radiance cruise ship, while passengers were trying to save their possessions. “Our room flooded on Carnival Cruise Radiance. It’s been 4 hours and no one has came and spoke to us,” she wrote in the caption of the video. The cruise ship, which has a capacity of almost 3,000 passengers, was sailing off the coast of California when the nightmare incident occurred. A follow-up clip showed crew members trying to clean up the mess, while Amber filmed the damage done to her room, as water covered most of the floor. “Everything is destroyed,” the TikToker can be heard saying. “At 2 AM we were woken up with water gushing into our room from the ceiling. It was absolutely terrifying,” she added in the caption. TikTok users in the comments were horrified by the flooding. “I’d have a full-blown panic attack” one person wrote. “The way I’d grab a life jacket and run to the deck, screaming we’re all going to die,” another said. “Omg another [reason] why I won’t go on a cruise. I’m so sorry this happened,” a third shared. “I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending,” someone else added. Others wondered where the water came from and why it was gushing through the ceiling. “Where is the water coming from?” one user questioned. “Why is the ocean coming inside?” another commented. A Carnival Cruise Line spokeswoman told news.com.au that the flooding was caused by “a burst water line” that impacted “an area of the ship that accounts for less than 2% of its staterooms.” She added: “The ship’s team members cleaned the area and the pipe was fixed.” For more entertainment news and other viral stories, be sure to check out our coverage.

Viral Waffle House brawls may be good for its business model Unsplash.com: Jon TysonAn in-depth report claims the viral brawls that break out at Waffle House locations may actually benefit the breakfast chain, rather than hurt its image. Waffle House’s reputation precedes itself. The 24-hour breakfast chain is known throughout the US for being the go-to spot after a night of heavy drinking, serving up calorie-dense meals for hungry partiers. However, as much as it’s touted as a perfect hangover cure, it’s also a well-known hotspot for violent behavior. Over the past few years, a slew of videos have gone viral on social media showing brawls breaking out at Waffle House locations across the country. In December 2022, an employee famously parried a chair being thrown at her in a video that took over Twitter and TikTok, with users affectionately dubbing her the “Waffle House Avenger.” While it might seem like customers would avoid Waffle House due to these incidents, the opposite seems to be the case. Since then, Waffle House has become even more culturally relevant, with the likes of American music artist Lana Del Ray spotted serving patrons at the chain in Summer 2023. Waffle House brawls might be good for business An in-depth report from nonprofit newsroom More Perfect Union argued that these viral scuffles may be elevating Waffle House’s reputation, essentially doing the franchise’s advertising free of charge. According to reporter Alec Opperman, “It turns out the chain’s violent reputation isn’t just getting views. It may be actually connected to Waffle House’s wildly successful business model.” University of Central Florida professor Ty Matejowsky pointed out that Waffle House doesn’t do much advertising at all — but notes that this leaves the chain in a “unique position” for marketing its brand. “I would suggest that Waffle House kind of cedes their messaging authority to others in terms of what the brand actually means,” he said. “People oftentimes visit Waffle House with the expectation that, you know, they may indeed witness some of these types of occurrences firsthand.” ‘Rockstar’ Waffle House cook Gerald Greene also noted that Waffle House “benefits” from the viral fight videos, saying “it gets them a lot of free publicity online.” However, this reputation does have some drawbacks, leaving employees to deal with violent customers — with one worker even getting fatally shot in a robbery gone wrong. While Waffle House might be a US cultural icon, its status as a late-night eatery with a penchant for violence isn’t a great thing for workers, who are demanding better pay and more protections from its rowdy clientele.

Viral video shows New York taxi driver “knock out” woman getting aggressive Twitter: @FightMateTwitter account Fight Mate went viral after uploading a video where a New York taxi driver punched a woman after she started becoming aggressive towards him. A Twitter post featuring a violent confrontation between a New York taxi driver and a woman from June 6 has picked up over 2.6 million views. The tweet reads as such: “Taxi driver rocks woman to another dimension after she got aggressive with him. Justified or too far?” In the footage, a taxi driver is walking back to a cab with a jacket in hand, a woman gets in between him and the vehicle. She tries to stop him and seemingly get back the jacket. The driver tries to walk away, at which point the woman grabs him by his shirt and he retaliates by punching her in the face twice which causes the woman to collapse to the ground. Afterward, the driver throws the woman’s jacket to the ground, gets back in his taxi, and starts driving away. Twitter reacts to taxi driver knocking woman to the ground Twitter users in the comments were split when it comes to the question posed by the account. Some side with the woman who was simply trying to reclaim her jacket. Others were also praising the attendants’ efforts to keep other passengers safe and how they dealt with the situation in general. “He should not only be jailed, she should sue him too,” wrote one user. And another agrees by stating: “Looks like she just wanted her jacket back. I can’t blame her. It was assault.” Others were siding with the taxi driver, mainly pointing to the fact that it was indeed the woman that has gotten physical first. “Saw this before, she was refusing to pay so he kept her jacket until she did, then she got aggressive and found out,” reads one response. Another user adds: “Anyone, man or woman. If they decide to lay hands on you first, they should be prepared for the consequences.” Some replies to the Tweet claim the woman was refusing to pay her fare and that’s why the driver took her jacket, but this could be just an interpretation of one of the viewers. It’s also worth noting that the Tweet is a repost of at least a year-old video that sparked a massive Twitter conversation.

After the robot spilled two full drinks, it stopped and said in its automated voice: “Bummer.” TikTok reacts to robot spilling drinks on the floor In the comments, several TikTok users cracked jokes about the robot’s mishap. “The robot probably got embarrassed,” one user commented. “The robots are tired, overworked and underpaid too!” another joked. “Please forgive him, he’s our new apprentice,” a third quipped. Others questioned the efficiency of robot servers and whether they can replace human servers. “If these robots take over the restaurant industry we are doomed,” one user commented. “What’s the point when now you need a human to clean it up? Why not just have a human serve from the beginning,” another wrote. “Well, looks like they’re gonna need a human to clean that up,” a third added. “I really don’t mind robots serving me drinks. Human waiters can be just as clumsy,” someone else shared. This is just the latest robot-related video to take off on TikTok; previously, a customer went viral after he was forced to tip the robots that made his drink.

Viral video shows Boston Marathon runner appearing to poop in stranger’s yard Unsplash: AmutiomiA doorbell camera video has gone viral across the internet as it catches a Boston Marathon runner appearing to poop in the homeowner’s yard mid-race.

In the video, the runner can be seen popping a squat in the corner of a yard when a spectator came around the entrance of the property to partake in an awkward 20-second stare with the participant. Seconds later, the runner made his way back through the trees — only to never be seen again. Or until the video upload went viral, that is.

Viral video of plane not moving in the air sparks conspiracy theories TIKTOK: tania.drawsA viral TikTok video of a plane not moving in the air has left viewers convinced that there’s been a glitch in the matrix. In February 2023, content creator tania.draws took to TikTok to share a bizarre 10-second clip that she had taken from her car in Chicago. Tania’s video showed a plane seemingly not moving even though it was in mid-air. While the airplane was stationary, her car was moving. “WTF,” she wrote over the clip. “Glitch in Matrix? This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this in Chicago either,” read the caption of the post. The video has since gone viral with over 2.3 million views, and viewers have been expressing their thoughts in the comment section. TikTok reacts to airplane not moving in the air Thousands of TikTok users shared their theories, with many agreeing that it’s a “glitch in the matrix.” “Can’t no plane just sit in idle… yeah definitely a glitch,” one user wrote. “Definitely a glitch, I’ve seen one in Washington, DC near Blowing Air Force base 2 weeks ago,” another shared. “My daughter and I saw one a month ago or so, we thought we were going crazy,” a third added. Others suggested that what Tania witnessed was parallax, where the position or direction of an object appears to change when viewed from different positions. As the video was recorded when the TikToker was in the opposite direction it was moving in, some believe that this is why the plane appears to not be moving. “Parallax, it’s an optical illusion,” one user commented. “It’s still moving though. Physics at work!” another said. “It’s called a Parallax which is an observed displacement of an object due to the observer’s changed position,” someone else explained.

Viral video of DoorDash delivery mid-basketball game debunked as fake Twitter: Austin HansenA viral video of a food delivery driver walking onto a basketball court mid-game to deliver a McDonald’s order has been debunked by a cameraman who sat courtside. With TikTok overtaking YouTube as the place to post clips that could go viral, you’ll see plenty of videos on there that will make you question yourself as to whether it’s real or not. The best of these clips quickly make it onto other social media platforms, capturing the attention of the internet as a whole, with many trying to figure out what exactly has gone on. That was the case on January 25, when one man stepped onto the basketball court during a game between Loyola Chicago and Duquesne, looking to deliver food as he posed as a Doordasher. Door Dash prank during college basketball game debunked Plenty of users assumed that the video was real, and that the man in question was just a helpless delivery driver who couldn’t locate the person they were supposed to be dropping the other order with. However, Austin Hansen, a courtside cameraman who captured the whole thing, has now debunked it as a prank. The cameraman noted that the would-be delivery driver was sneakily mic’d up and seemingly filming for a video. “They didn’t kick him out. He just casually walked back into the stands with his McDonalds in hand,” Hansen added, noting that he will personally “tackle” anyone who tries to replicate it. Plenty of social media users weren’t shocked by the fact it was all fake. “Should be arrested for doing that,” said one. “How did he get onto the court is what I want to know? Does this school have zero security?” added another. “Internet clout chasers are the worst type of people,” commented another. It’s certainly a unique attempt at a prank, but security teams will have to be alert if anyone tries to recreate it.

Viral video of man showing off $5,000 TV at 2000 New Year’s Eve party stuns viewers YouTube/y2k0nditi0nA video from a 2000 New Year’s Eve party is going viral after a man showed off his expensive $5,000 television. The late 90s and early 2000s were a simpler time. Things weren’t as expensive, you didn’t have to take your shoes off at the airport, and the N64 was all the rage. So, imagine what a $5,000 TV must have looked like back then. Turns out, not that impressive. But you wouldn’t know it based on the reaction a group of men had at a New Year’s Eve party in their buddy’s basement and seeing this beast of a TV in action. The video, uploaded to NostalgiaFolder on X/Twitter has blown up with 4.6M views, but those in Generation Z, also known as zoomers, are baffled by the tech they’re seeing. The internet is blown away by this $5,000 TV at a 2000 New Year’s party In the clip, a man led his buddies down some stairs to his basement for a special “surprise” where a big TV awaited right next to a CD tray. After being pressed for how much he paid for it, with one friend suggesting $10,000, he replied by revealing he spent “about half” of that. As reported by Outkick, Redditors were able to determine that the TV is likely a Sony Trintron Wega that hit the market in 1998 and still goes for hundreds of dollars on Ebay. While some users are claiming the video is staged, that hasn’t stopped zoomers and others from being amazed at the clip now that it’s resurfaced. “Man I remember my grandma had one of those things, used to be mind blowing,” one user remarked. “So glad we live in the future,” said another. “Aww! It really puts it into perspective though how drastically and quickly technology has changed & improved though. That was really not all that long ago, all things considered,” someone else pondered. Regardless, the video has given a lot of joy to users who long for a simpler time, even if the YouTube clip itself might not be real.

Viral video captures terrifying moment slingshot ride snaps and crashes TIKTOK: alby_ladA viral TikTok showed the horrifying moment passengers on a slingshot ride were sent crashing into a metal beam, after one of the bungee cords broke loose. The incident took place in Winter Wonderland, an annual Christmas event held in Hyde Park, London, and was captured by TikTok user alby_lad. In the shocking video, which has amassed over 3.5 million views, the bungee cords can be seen slipping on take off, and being hurled to the left instead of straight up. The green metal cage collided with a supporting post and spun erratically, leaving the two riders dangling high above the ground. An eyewitness said they heard a “massive bang,” and claimed that the passengers were stuck on the slingshot ride for about 20 minutes before they were finally escorted off. London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police said they were called out to the incident, but the riders had been rescued by the time they got there. The Met said in a statement: “Police were called at 20.22 on Wednesday 14 December to reports of two people trapped in a bungee ride in Hyde Park. Officers attended along with London Fire Brigade. “It was reported that two teenage boys have been in a fairground ride when there was an incident that left the cage they were riding in suspended in the air. “The cage had been lowered down before police arrived and the boys had also left the scene. There were no reported injuries.” Meanwhile, a spokesman for Winter Wonderland said in a statement: “We can confirm that a technical issue involving the reverse bungee occurred on Wednesday evening. Both riders were safely escorted off the ride, checked by our on-site medics and were not injured.” They said safety was the “highest priority” at the Hyde Park attraction, and that all rides had “rigorous and regular” safety checks.

Viral TikToks show “microfibers” in fast food drinks TikTok: CloseintelTikToker ‘closeintel’ has gone viral after uploading videos where he shows microfibers and other microscopic debris inside fast food drinks, leaving fans in disgust. When it comes to viral content on TikTok, creators can almost always get viewers’ attention when it’s related to fast food restaurants like Mcdonald’s or Burger King. Examples of such content are the recent outrage over Little Ceasers’ pizza prices, and the McDonald’s worker who yelled at an “entitled” customer. Now, Closeintel’s videos where he looks at water from fast foot restaurants underneath a microscope and the results have left viewers disgusted. TikToker finds microscopic debris in fast food drinks On July 1, the TikToker posted a video where he went to McDonald’s to order a cup of water before going home to look at it underneath the microscope.

(Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Just seven days later, the TikToker went to Burger King to test out their water. This time, he let the ice in the cup melt a little bit before looking at it under the microscope. “I saw a couple of microfibers,” he revealed “I also saw this really strange material that looked like it was deteriorating. There was really tiny debris I saw falling off the material and when zooming in it looked like they were kind of moving. It could have just been Brownian Motion though.” (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) The creator also checked out Starbucks water and found similar results, which left viewers disgusted as they called the views “nasty” and gross” throughout the comments on the video. Closeintel did, however, make sure to mention that results will vary at each location so each result may vary from the last.

Viral TikToker mods Bernie Sanders sitting meme into video games and it’s hilarious @toastedshoes_/TikTokOne YouTuber took The Bernie Sanders chair meme and put him into as many video games as they could, and the results are some of the funniest uses of the meme we’ve seen yet. An image of United States Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sitting in a chair with mittens during the inauguration instantly went viral, with memes popping up on every form of social media you could think of. Bernie in GoT, Bernie with Connor McGregor in a chokehold, Bernie sitting on the payload in Overwatch; the humble politician from Vermont seemed to be everywhere. Now thanks to Australian YouTuber ToastedShoes, he’s even popping up in all kinds of video games, like Fallout 4. https://twitter.com/ToastedShoes/status/1354106441431355392?s=20 Want to see Bernie wielding a Darth Maul dual-edged lightsaber? Just check out the Battlefront 2 mod that allows him to do just that. The Force is definitely strong with the Senator from Vermont, as he flies around, cutting down legions of clone troopers without lifting a finger like a true servant of the Dark Side. ToastedShoes wasn’t able to do this alone though, the 3D Bernie model came from artist Joe Mashups, and the various mods were made with some of the top modders for each pitching in and helping out. Read More: Are Dream and Ranboo the same person? – Bernie can be seen knocking down walls in Resident Evil, appearing as bosses in Dark Souls and Devil May Cry 5, and even as the Dragon (and every other character) from the opening level of Skyrim. All of these hilarious mods can be seen in the full video down below, where Toasted Shoes features each of his ridiculous creations. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the nature documentary on Bernie’s in Fallout 4 is tough to beat. There are still so many possibilities too, imagine Bernie in Red Dead Redemption, or causing chaos in Cyberpunk. Now that we think about it, seeing Geralt and Bernie together in the Witcher 3 would be pretty great as well. It’s been over a week since the Bernie meme broke Twitter (which is basically an eternity in internet time) and while things have died down there, based on how hilarious these mashups are, the meme could definitely keep on surviving in the modding community for a good while longer.

Viral TikToker ghosted by man on holiday finds out he is married Unsplash: aurora.kreativ / TikTok: chanzandchillA TikToker was left baffled after her date ghosted in the middle of their second date — a date that had involved him flying her out to Miami. With the help of the internet, she found out he was secretly married. TikToker ‘chanzandchill’, who goes by CP, was left in disbelief after her date abandoned her in Miami while the pair were vacationing on their second date. Sharing the bizarre turn of events on TikTok as a “dating horror story,” CP revealed that the man left after saying that he had to meet with his sister for lunch. Calling him “Michael” for the purposes of her story, CP said she then reminded him that the two already had some “hard to get” lunch reservations booked for that afternoon. Michael promised he would be back in time but never showed, later claiming he’d received some unexpected and devastating news. But to make things stranger, CP realized he’d come by to grab all his belongings, most likely while she was taking a nap in the same room. Feeling disrespected, CP promised to let viewers know of any updates — and she most certainly delivered. Determined to solve the mystery of her dumping in Miami, CP revealed “TikTok sleuths” had reached out to her and were “already on” the case to find out why Michael had unexpectedly dipped. Not long afterward, an update was posted that revealed many commenters’ suspicions to be true: Michael was married. CP was able to get in contact with another woman who had been played by the same guy. This second woman revealed that Michael had a wife of fifteen years who worked night shifts as a nurse, providing him with the opportunity for his affairs. Michael did eventually send an apology to CP, telling her that she “didn’t deserve” to be ditched in Miami and labeling his own behavior as “f***boi sh**.” In response, CP said, “Was the urgent situation that your wife [redacted] told you to get your ass home?” Despite many commenters urging CP to tell Michael’s wife the truth about his unfaithfulness, CP said she had not decided whether that was something she wanted to do. She also said that if she did decide to tell his wife, she would not be using someone else’s grief for views. Check out the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Viral TikToker Kierra Lewis stunned after meeting country singer Kip Moore YouTube: Bobby Bones Shows / Instagram: kipmooremusicViral TikToker Kierra Lewis, who is known for hilarious videos expressing her love of various male country singers, was absolutely stunned when she had a surprise meeting with country star Kip Moore on the Bobby Bones show. While some TikTokers go viral for dancing, some for singing, others for participating in trends, Kierra Lewis has carved out a niche of her own, and her followers absolutely love her for it. With over 259,000 followers on the platform, Kierra has gone viral on multiple occasions, all thanks to her love of certain country singers. While she didn’t originally seem to be a huge fan of the country genre, she made a series of TikToks in which she discovered her affinity for some of the male country singers such as Sam Hunt, and promptly went viral for her entertaining commentary on their appearances. Fans of her videos quickly suggested to her a range of artists that she might enjoy, and since then people keep coming back to Kierra’s videos to watch her entertaining personality. One such artist that the TikToker has become a huge fan of is Kip Moore, a singer-songwriter who has released four studio albums. But the last thing Kierra expected was to actually meet the star when she was invited on to the Bobby Bones Show. On the show, she explained that there’s a certain “stigma” surrounding country music that meant she expected the artists to look much different from how they do, and that’s why she was so pleasantly surprised when she found out about the faces behind the songs she liked. When asked who her favorite is, Kierra revealed that “Kip is [her] top.” Topic starts at 4:10 Originally, Bobby surprised the TikTok star by telling her that he had Kip on the other end of the phone, eliciting a startled scream from Kierra. But after the crew pretended they were having connectivity issues, she was even more blown away when Kip himself walked through the door of the studio. After freaking out for a brief moment Kierra quickly regained her composure, and told the singer that she loved his vibe, commending his album ‘Wild World.’ Listeners fell in love with the TikToker’s personality, and it looks like she may have ended up gaining a few fans along with meeting her favorite country singer.

Viral TikTok video takes jab at Apple with “bougie” eggs Apple/TikTok/UnsplashA TikTok video about extremely expensive eggs has gone viral thanks to a creator using the product to take a cheeky jab at the cost of Apple products. Throughout the years, Apple has created a cult-like following with the release of the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and yearly refresh of their Macbook line. However, many believe that their products are overpriced compared to the equivalent Windows PC or Android device. People have dubbed it the “Apple tax,” and have thought of a wide variety of jokes regarding it. TikToker ‘mitchmcconnellsneckskin’ has gone viral with a video in which he uses a high-priced carton of eggs to take a cheeky jab at the cost of Apple products. Viral TikTok video makes a joke about Apple Products Uploaded on January 25, the creator recorded a follow-up video about how “bougie” someone would have to be to buy the expensive carton of eggs. In his post, he explained that curiosity got to him, and he spent $8.99 on the food. However, the TikToker caught viewers off guard as soon as he opened the carton. He said: “Let’s open them up here. On this side [of the package] you have your nice eggs and over here, as usual, you have ‘designed by Apple in California,’ and it does come with the lighting cable and Apple stickers but no charging block.” (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Some viewers were hilariously convinced that Apple actually started making eggs. Cecilio Martinez commented: “Not me actually thinking for a second ‘omfg Apple has eggs’ LOL” They weren’t alone, though, as comments relating to iPhone packaging echoed throughout the creator’s comment section.

Viral TikToker Doggface shocked after juice company gifts him new truck TikTok: 420DoggFace280This year might be a huge dumpster fire, but the internet is obsessed with this one TikToker with immaculate vibes, who goes by Doggface online. His positivity has now spread so far that Ocean Spray has bought him a truck and a ton of juice.

The TikTok has had more than 25 million views, and some of the app’s biggest stars commented about how much they loved the clip. Stars including King Science, Demi Skipper, Casey Hamilton, and even Marshmello himself lauded the video’s euphoric atmosphere. Cole Walliser, known for his slow-mo celebrity videos straight from the red carpet, even created his own version. Other people were insanely impressed with one person writing “Gonna tell my kids this was Jesus.” Another person wrote, “This is his world and we’re really just living in it.” The official Twitter account for Fleetwood Mac reshared the post saying “We love this!”. Even band member Mick Fleetwood has himself joined TikTok and recreated the iconic clip. As a result, Doggface went from 700,000 followers on TikTok to more than 2 million in less than two weeks.

You made them a BAGGG.” https://twitter.com/pricklepeach/status/1313603866857009152 The glee spread to Twitter too after user @pricklepeach went viral, with more than 360,000 likes on one tweet, revealing the amazing news, and thanking the company’s CEO Tom Hayes for celebrating the internet sensation. In addition to the generous gift from Ocean Spray, Fleetwood Mac’s hit song has reportedly seen their streams spike, and DoggFace himself has received $10,000 from fans after they learned he had been living in an RV with no running water. After spreading love and positivity to millions of people online during such a difficult time, Nathan Apodaca deserves nothing less.

Viral TikTok video shows Wordle fans how to never lose a game Wordle/TikTok: CaseyJohnsonwvTikTok user ‘caseyjohnsonwv’ has gone viral after posting a video showing how he managed to find every possible answer to the popular word game, Wordle. If you’ve been on Twitter at all throughout the beginning of January, you’ve likely seen a user send out a tweet with seemingly random green and yellow blocks. That would be the result of their attempt at completing the daily word game ‘Wordle‘ which was created by Josh Wardle, who originally created it to help his wife fulfill her love for word puzzles. It has since blown up in popularity, with millions of users across the world participating in the game daily. Now, TikTok user CaseyJohnson has revealed that he has uncovered every possible answer to the viral word game. Viral TikTok allegedly offers Wordle fans help Uploaded on January 24, Casey’s video has received over 200k views and tens of thousands of likes from fans. As he explained in the comments, the creator used his existing developer skills to find this information as payback to someone who spoiled a past game for him. He said: “So a couple of days ago I mentioned you can find the solution to the puzzle if you know what you’re looking for. With that in mind, I started creating a python bot that automatically emailed the solutions to my enemies at midnight.” (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) https://www.tiktok.com/@caseyjohnsonwv/video/7056887116688772398?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id6916636174712325638 However, he decided that was too hard so he dived further into the website’s developer code. Minutes later, he found two lists — one with every valid guess you can make, and the other with every solution there has been or will be. Casey explained it further: “If you have enemies that really really care about the game Wordle, you can ruin their day by sending them every solution…right now” This isn’t the first video that the creator uploaded regarding the viral word game. His first video details how to look at the solution to the puzzle, however, so fans of the game should steer clear.

Viral TikTok trainspotter Francis Bourgeois hits back at claims he’s “faking it” TikTok: Francis BourgeoisViral TikToker and avid trainspotter Francis Bourgeois has come out swinging against accusations he’s “faking” his overjoyed act to get more clicks on the social media app after old images of the star resurfaced this month. The internet’s most wholesome TikTok star, English trainspotting aficionado Francis Bourgeois, has moved to derail recent suggestions he’s a “fake.” Bourgeois, whose real name is actually Luke Nicholson, barreled into internet stardom earlier this year via an infectious laugh and head-mounted camera, with the star uploading TikTok videos of himself watching carriages, trains, and steam engines from bridges, stations, and even farmyards. The star’s overjoyed attitude to trains and hilarious TikTok antics earned him a huge following on the social app — 1.9 million, to be exact — with many calling him “the most wholesome man in England.” Recently, however, he’s been dubbed a “fake.” The recent TikTok accusations, which Bourgeois denies, have arisen after old images of Nicholson dressed as a roadman emerged on Twitter in mid-December. In an Instagram video, noticeably filmed from a regular height and angle, Nicholson addressed claims he is simply playing a character, and that the whole trainspotting TikTok account is a long-drawn-out parody. “I’ve seen many doubting my authenticity,” he said. “I believe these came from images from when I was younger. I’d like to take you back to that time. I started a new school in Year 7, and my favorite thing to do was to come home and play with my model railway. But I realized I was experiencing feelings of loneliness, so I decided to try and fit in more at school. “I gelled my hair,” he said, sharing images of his childhood, “and decided to sell my model railway to fund my gym membership. I even wore roadman clothes, but it wasn’t me and it wasn’t making me happy. “Lockdown happened, my hair grew out and I reclaimed my love for trains. And honestly, chasing trains really feels like the shackles are off and I’m totally free.” Watch the TikTok video here if it fails to load. Nicholson’s real name may not be Francis Bourgeois, but the 20-year-old is adamant Bourgeois is “not just some character” he’s playing. The only real forgery is the pseudonym, which comes from one of King George III’s court painters. The accusations were sparked online after images of Nicholson wearing a beanie, “roadman” attire, and silver chains were uncovered. Fans also claimed he was a fake due to the fact he attended raves at Manchester’s Warehouse Project and has a Spotify song called “Whatley Quarry.” He concluded: “I love showing you guys how awesome trains can be. And, as well as trainspotting, I love doing other things, like going to festivals and having fun.”

Viral TikTok video shows what it’s like meeting online COD friends IRL Instagram/leftmysoulA popular TikTok video capturing the moment a Call of Duty Black Ops 2 player united with his teammates in person has gone viral. The video was originally posted by user Kevin, better known by his username “leftmysoul.” In the video, a camera follows behind the CoD player as he walks onto the New York City street where his friends are waiting. “Oh my God,” the Call of Duty player screams when he sees his online comrades. The three young men quickly embrace and hug it out. After all, Kevin had just flown from the other side of the United States for this very moment. The video’s caption reads, “tb (throwback) when I flew to New York from California to meet my PlayStation friends!” The caption also provides some insight into what game mode leftmysoul and his friends enjoyed playing the most, but it shouldn’t come as much of a shocker for anyone who played Black Ops 2 back in the day. “Met these guys when I was around 12 and we have countless memories on Black Ops 2 Zombies,” it read. Zombies first appeared in Call of Duty dating back to World at War, when players would fight waves of Nazi Zombies in a co-op mode. The mode was a massive hit, and the zombie trend returned with Black Ops and continued on from there. Leftmysoul’s video would end up getting reposted on the official Daquan Instagram account. Thanks to the profile’s 14 million followers, the video went viral, scoring a whopping two million views in mere hours. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RoVa3hPqh/ Thanks to the internet, air travel, and modern gaming, players from all walks of life can meet up in person – making for some truly magical moments. There’s no telling what the future will hold as technology improves and more online friendships surge into real-life meetups.

TikTok user Amanda posted a video on the social media platform, explaining how her most recent order with clothing company Shein included messages that she did not ask for. The video that Amanda first posted about the issue can be viewed below or alternately, accessed via the link here. “This is part of my Shein order I received today. I purchased it on January 15, less than a week ago,” began Amanda. “Upon opening it, six pieces of unfolded papers fell out. I opened one up and they all say the same thing. ‘You are going to die in this suit.’” Amanda then went on to explain how she, “put gloves on, washed my hands. Little bit worried and scared. I will not be wearing this dress, not trying it on. Call the local police department even. Not a joke. Definitely disappointed Shein. Crazy.” At the time of the writing, this initial video about the incident has generated over 6.7 million views, 500k likes, and almost 13k comments. However, Amanda has since also uploaded multiple new videos explaining the situation in greater depth. In one such follow-up, she explains how “nothing like this happens in my area so I was extremely freaked out. It was something that really shocked me, especially after you have a girls night out and come home to this.” Amanda added, “I don’t know whether or not the dress was a return and they shipped it back out. It’s possible. I’m still not trying it on and I am not going to wear it as much as I really wanted to try this dress out.” Time will tell how exactly Shein plans on responding to the viral incident and the potential threat of the notes.

Viral TikTok takes you inside KFC’s first-ever fine dining restaurant TikTok: Samantha KhaterAn Australian TikToker has gone viral after reviewing KFC’s first fine-dining experience and it may surprise you. TikToker user Samantha Khater has given her fans an exclusive review on KFC’s first fine-dining experience – only available during the restaurant’s one-week pop-up in Australia.

KFC’s fine dining goes viral on TikTok The video also shows customers being greeted with a glass of champagne, entering a room that featured chicken-shaped lighting fixtures, black tablecloths, and wine pairings for each course. One course could be described as “supercharged” wings, served over a flaming bed of charcoal. Others included popcorn chicken with gnocchi, gold-crusted drumstick, and a dish that required foodies to lick a sauce reincarnation of the chain’s founder, Colonel Sanders, off their plates. The pop-up restaurant’s deserts look like something that would be served in a 5-star restaurant as diners were given the choice of a “chocolate mousse with popping candy” or “KFC chips with ice cream.” Foodies react to KFC’s viral fine-dining experience TikTok foodies along KFC fans are now reacting to the viral experience with mixed responses. “Fine dining but still the food taste and look like fast-food lol. Just different ambiance,” one user said. “What country is this? We barely have options where I’m from Plus we had to pay for condiments up to recently cause they weren’t giving any free,” a second user stated. “Did they really just make KFC for ultra rich?” another TikToker questioned. It is unclear whether the fast-food chain will be bringing back the pop-up restaurant, as fans are divided over the idea of fine dining at KFC.

Viral TikTok stirs debate as best man steals spotlight in proposal to bridesmaid canva and tiktokIn a viral TikTok with over 20 million views, the best man of the wedding proposed to one of the bridesmaids during a wedding, which resulted in a debate in the comment section. Weddings are typically all about the bride, where they celebrate their big day with close acquaintances in life. But at this particular bride’s wedding, she allowed the best man to propose to one of the bridesmaids, which resulted in great cheer from the attendees, but a split reaction on social media. The video begins with the bouquet toss. The MC shouts out, “1. 2. 3!” But rather than randomly tossing the flowers, the bride turns around. The group of people awaiting the toss appear incredibly confused, as this act goes against tradition. Rather than throwing the flowers into the air, the bride hands the bunch of flowers to a bridesmaid, who is apparently the bride’s sister. The bridesmaid looks side to side, confused by the untraditional move. Shortly after, the best man appears and bends down on one knee, revealing a box with an engagement ring inside. The to-be fiancé nods yes, and the bride joins the three for a group hug. “I know the bride was okay with it, but me personally I would be mad as the one getting proposed to because make it its own moment, not someone else’s,” one user stated. “Yeah I think it’s tacky to propose at a wedding, on the guy’s part, a little more effort, but what do I know,” another added. Many other viewers provided a different perspective, fully supporting the proposal. “I have seen people hate on stuff like this, like they are taking away from the wedding… That’s such bs, this makes it so much more amazing! Share the love!” a TikTok user commented. “Ya’ll, that’s her sister. Why wouldn’t she wanna share the moment? I love this!” said a supportive comment.

Viral TikTok star Francis Bourgeois’ true identity apparently revealed TikTok: Francis Bourgeois / PixabayTikTok sensation Francis Bourgeois has captured the hearts of viewers with his wholesome train antics, but is there more to Bourgeois’ persona than meets the eye? There are plenty of worthwhile trends to explore on TikTok, but one user has captured the attention of viewers like no other in recent weeks. Taking to the train tracks of the UK, Francis Bourgeois’ trainspotting adventures continues to bring in the views, as his infectious goodwill adds a welcoming touch to his content. The Brit has quickly become a viral hit across social media, with many questioning if his love of trains is real or just part of an act to have success? Some have even questioned if Francis is his actual name. What is Francis Bourgeois’ real name? Details of Francis Bourgeois’ past have remained a mystery, despite the TikToker’s growth in popularity. Now, following some digging from The Tab, it seems as if Bourgeois’ real name is actually Luke Nicolson. The Tab’s report stemmed from a Companies House document which names Nicolson as the founder of “Francois Bourgeois Limited.” Additionally, the report uncovered an Instagram account with the same name that has links to the Brothers modeling agency that represents Bourgeois. Despite having other Luke’s on their website, the agency doesn’t have a Luke Nicolson listed, which only adds fuel to the fire. The name Francis Bourgeois is seemingly borrowed from a court painter who assisted King George III. The TikToker has proven to be such a hit that he’s started incorporating other famous faces into his posts. In mid-November, he linked up with football icon Thierry Henry for a chat, which blew the internet’s collective mind Regardless of what his name actually is, plenty of users still enjoy the content as his videos rake in millions of views.

Viral TikTok star Scott Seiss appears in Cocaine Bear trailer and fans love it YouTube: Universal PicturesTikTok star Scott Seiss has set the internet ablaze after appearing in the trailer for the movie Cocaine Bear as fans couldn’t believe it was him at first. The rise of TikTok has meant a whole new crop of internet stars have been born. Some like Charli D’Amelio, Dixie D’Amelio, Addison Rae, and Khaby Lame have taken their internet fame and run with it. In the case of the D’Amelio sisters, they’ve got their own TV show, Lame has appeared on Formula 1 and football broadcasts, while Rae has starred in Super Bowl commercials. Addison has also appeared in her own feature-length movie too, a feat that has only been achieved by a select few TikTokers. Well, Scott Seiss – the TikToker behind the infamous Ikea employee videos – is joining that club after fans spotted him playing a role in the new movie Cocaine Bear. Yes, that’s the title. Scott Seiss appears in Cocaine Bear movie trailer The trailer for the movie, which is loosely based on a real story of a wild bear ingesting drugs, was released on November 30. Naturally, the wild title and storyline captured the attention of millions. As the views rolled in, viewers across social media couldn’t help but point out that it seemed like Seiss was in the movie. “Scott Seiss jumping from Angry Retail Worker TikTok to the height of cinema. A legend, a prince,” commented one. “The best thing about this trailer is it has that hilarious guy who does the TikTok’s in Ikea giving smug answers to customers,” said another. “My desire to see this movie went up 10x when I saw that Scott Seiss is in it. You might know him as ‘the IKEA guy’” added another. Seiss himself said that it is not a joke and that he is, in fact, in the movie. “Told y’all I was in Cocaine Bear,” he tweeted. The movie itself releases on February 24, and it seems like the TikToker is going to help it be a smash at the box office – even if the name and premise alone would have done that.

Viral TikTok spotlights wild ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ easter egg via Wired YouTubeA viral TikTok pulled back the curtain on an Everything Everywhere All at Once easter egg that casually broke the fourth wall in one the film’s pivotal scenes. Without going into spoilers, Everything Everywhere All at Once is a different take to a multiverse action adventure that drives its narrative of a family thrust in the middle of a transdimensional crisis. In one of the scenes, lead actor Michelle Yeoh is ‘diving’ into the multiverse aspect of the film when the directors gave us a glimpse of different versions of her character. Everything Everywhere All at Once easter egg Apparently, during this montage, the filmmakers snuck in a still of Yeoh doing greenscreen work with others from the production in full view on a Zoom call. TikToker ‘HiddenMovieDetails’ slowed down the action of the film to reveal a fun easter egg that puts Everything Everywhere All at Once’s VFX crew on the big screen. Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert had to maneuver making an incredibly creative movie during all the shutdowns stemming from 2020’s health concerns. As such, they had to get clever on a few spots throughout the film to clear certain hurdles that were limiting their production. The beauty of this scene in the movie has a practical storytelling angle that also serves as a cheeky easter egg. On the one hand, it was simply one of many versions for Yeoh’s character shown in the montage. On the other, it was a slick easter egg for people who caught the blink-and-you-miss-it moment that revealed a bit more from behind the scenes. The Daniels previously revealed other filmmaking gems they had to implement to complete their 2022 hit, and fans are having fun rediscovering some of their favorite moments from Everything Everywhere All at Once while tracking them down.

TikTok star roasted by Detroit Lions for quitting shaved head challenge Freepik.com, karlykuav / TikTok: Detriot LionsTikTok continues to pump out some of the net’s hottest challenges, but one user has gone viral for not keeping up her end of the bargain — even after receiving comments from the Detroit Lions. TikTok is the net’s most viral video platform for a reason; having pumped out such hits as the ‘Savage’ and ‘Say so’ dances, among other memes, the app has become an online sensation in the past two years. However, it’s for more than just dancing and lip syncing; some users have begun calling out certain celebrities, sports teams and brands with a unique challenge, with such premises as: “If [X] comments on this post, then I’ll do [Y.]” For one TikToker, this meant shaving off her entire head of long, blonde hair if the Detroit Lions decided to comment on her video. Unfortunately for her, they did; as did the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and the Seattle Mariners, all top-tier sports teams with huge fan followings. Despite getting the attention she’d hoped for, it doesn’t look like the TikToker — going by the username ‘kenzie’ — held up her end of the deal. In a response video on December 1, Kenzie admitted that she didn’t have the desire to shave her head, and instead decided to shave that of one of her male friends. “Didn’t think it would blow up and really didn’t wanna have a pixie cut for the next three years,” Kenzie explained in the video’s caption. Needless to say, she was promptly roasted by the sports teams who had commented on her previous video as well as random onlookers, who made sure to voice their displeasure in the comments section. “Disappointed but not surprised,” the Tampa Bay Rays said. “You got all those likes AND got noticed by the Detroit Lions and didn’t even live up to your word,” a commenter wrote. “That’s embarrassing.” However, the Detroit Lions themselves had a hilarious response, indicating that their “respect” had shifted from Kenzie to the poor soul she’d recruited for her head-shaving mishap. All in all, it seems that this is a good lesson in keeping your end of a deal — or rather, being a bit more realistic about what you’re willing to do for views.

Viral TikTok slams ‘true crime’ trend about Gabby Petito going missing Instagram: gabspetitoThe disappearance of Gabby Petito has received worldwide interest, partly because of the 22-year-olds presence as an influencer on TikTok, where she and her fiancé Brian Laundrie are now the subject of thousands of videos about the mystery. But some users think the ‘true crime’ trend is harmful. Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie set out on a #VanLife trip in the summer of 2021, but only Laundrie returned home from the trip. Despite Petito’s social media posts portraying a perfect, loving trip, police recorded footage of the couple being stopped over a potential domestic violence incident showed a very different picture. After her disappearance, fiance Brian Laundrie was declared a person of interest in the case, but later disappeared himself a few days after returning home. Petito’s family say he is in hiding. On September 20, a body was found matching the description of Petito, but it has not 100% been confirmed yet by forensic examinations. All of this has led to massive interest on social media, especially TikTok, with hashtags such as #findgabby and #whereisgabbypetito attracting hundreds of millions of views. Gabby Petito TikToks criticized This spread of ‘true crime’ TikTok videos have been criticized for some for making light of a serious situation, and exploiting a woman’s disappearance for views and attention. One viral TikTok by @bloodbathandbeyond, real name Jessica Dean, has gone viral on the platform for calling out this type of content around the Petito case. She imitates the online sleuths taking on the role of a detective without any expertise, and potentially spreading misinformation as a result. At the end of the video, Dean also highlights that the media and social media attention given to the Petito case outweighs that of similar situations involving “black or brown people.” Dean told BuzzFeed News that she finds many of these TikToks “insensitive” regarding the case. Two weeks before Petito went missing, police released bodycam footage showing her in tears and explaining mental health struggles. Commentators have said this situation is an example of how social media rarely presents the true lives of influencers, instead just a manufactured ‘perfect’ version. Similarly, the TikTok videos about the situation could be making a very serious missing persons case into a trivialized form of entertainment in the ‘true crime’ genre of content.

Viral TikTok shows women insulted after Barbie screening: “This is what it’s like” TikTok: vannachauu / Warner Bros. PicturesA heartbreaking TikTok has gone viral showing the moment three women taking photos after attending Barbie were yelled at “completely unprovoked.” Greta Gerwig’s Barbie made history with an opening weekend that hit $356 million globally, making it the biggest debut for a film directed by a woman. With its message of empowerment, Barbie has been rebranded to relate to a new generation. And according to Rotten Tomatoes’ 86% approval rating, most audiences are listening. However, a recent viral TikTok shows that not everyone has been paying attention to the movie’s message, with three theatre attendees insulted simply for taking photos. Vanna, who goes by ‘vannachauu’ on TikTok, went to see Barbie with two friends, with the trio dressing in pink to celebrate the iconic doll’s live-action debut. Leaving the cinema “feeling emotional and empowered,” the friends decided to take photos together in front of the Barbie poster. But their wholesome moment was interrupted after a man driving past insulted them, shouting, “Ya’ll are ugly as f***.” Vanna shared the moment on TikTok, writing, “What’s it like being a woman? Being excited to dress up and watch Barbie with your girlfriends. Walking out of the theatre feeling emotional and empowered and wanting to take a cute picture together in front of the Barbie movie poster.” She then heartbreakingly added, “Just for a man to drive by and say ‘Ya’ll are ugly as f***’ completely unprovoked. This is what it’s like being a woman.” And it’s a sentiment shared by many — after all, the film’s success wouldn’t exist if so many didn’t feel it recognized the experience of being a woman. Many commenters showered the girls in support, relating to the ordeal. “The encapsulation of being a woman, we can never exist in peace. You all look absolutely adorable,” one posted. Luckily, the movie has also given rise to positive stories, such as ‘yourdailybitterness’ on TikTok, who shared her experience watching Barbie with her boyfriend. “At the end, yes, he might not truly understand what it means to be a woman but he told me he’d try to learn as much as he could,” yourdailybitterness wrote. This aligns with Gerwig’s intended message, who told the New York Times that “My hope for the movie is that it’s an invitation for everybody to be part of the party and let go of the things that aren’t necessarily serving us as either women or men.” For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

Viral TikTok slams teens for racist halloween costumes in blackface: “This is a hate crime” TIKTOK: stinkyuglyratA group of teenagers have been blasted for a “hate crime,” after appearing in a video wearing blackface for their Halloween costumes. The video shows a woman confronting the grinning teenagers at a Walmart, as they appeared to be dressed up as prisoners with their faces and hands colored black. “Who are these kids in Cedar City Utah?” the 19-second clip was captioned. “Please spread this so we can find them!” The woman behind the camera scolded the group, and accused them of committing a hate crime. “You guys are not going to get into a college. You guys are not going to get any scholarships, because this is a hate crime,” she told them. “We all dropped out of high school, it’s OK,” one of the teens claimed, before laughing and turning away with the other group members. “I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you guys to be doing this,” the woman said off-camera. “It’s really not funny.” Teens bashed on TikTok over blackface costumes The clip sparked outrage on TikTok and Twitter, as users condemned the blackface-wearing group in the comments. “The fact that they knew what they were doing… DISGUSTING humans,” one user wrote. “Such ignorance. They won’t be anything better than where they are mentally,” another shared. “This can’t go unpunished. Everyone sticking up for them is just as racist. They think this is so funny, proves how disgusting they are,” a third commented. “Dumb people. I hope future employers and colleges see this crime. This is what’s wrong with the world,” someone else added. Cedar City Police released a statement on 1 November, that said while police weren’t called to the Walmart store at the time of the incident, it is now under investigation. “Cedar City Police Department and Cedar City officials do not condone this type of activity,” the statement said. Meanwhile, a media representative from Walmart’s corporate offices provided a statement saying that the teens were ultimately kicked out of the store. “We don’t tolerate discrimination or demeaning behavior of any kind and are incredibly disappointed by what is shown in this video,” the statement read.

Viral TikTok shows Walmart potentially “hoarding” PS5s amid stock shortages Mike Mozart Flickr / SonyA TikTok of Walmart’s PS5 inventory has gone viral, with some users slamming the company and accusing them of “hoarding” the consoles amid shortages. Walmart and other major retailers are stocking up for the Holiday season shopping spree. An employee revealed the state of one warehouse with dozens of pallets filled with PlayStation 5 consoles stacked over each other. “This is why y’all don’t have the PS5 because Walmart is hoarding all of them,” user hishamhasan3 said.

The clip has been going viral as people expressed their frustration at seeing the stockpile. According to the video’s owner, a lot of the inventory was marked for consoles that have already been claimed but have yet to go out. “Bro I know it’s super bad,” they said. “Most of them are backup orders.” This also spurred speculation of hoarding to affect demand but retailers have been catching up with shipping orders in light of supply chain blockages worldwide.

Viral TikTok shows tourist booed for climbing sacred Mayan pyramid in Mexico: “Lock her up!” TIKTOK: angelalopezeA “disrespectful” tourist was blasted on TikTok after being filmed climbing an ancient Mayan pyramid in Mexico without permission. In a viral clip with over 3.4 million views, the female tourist got booed as she illegally climbed the steps of the sacred Castillo de Kukulcán, in southeastern Mexico. A crowd was gathered in the esplanade of Chichén Itzá, and shouted “jail, jail, jail,” “lock her up” and “sacrifice, sacrifice,” because “this woman does not respect the rules.” The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has prohibited climbing the sacred Mayan building since 2008. It also announced fines ranging from about 2,558 to around 5,115 US dollars, depending on the damage caused to the structure. The tourist even did a little dance on top of the site, which further angered Mexican and foreign visitors as they whistled, chanted, and booed even louder. When she finally reached the bottom, and tried to make her way through the crowd, water and trash was thrown at her. “This is so disrespectful… don’t mess with my Mexican people,” the caption of the video posted by angelalopeze read. TikTok slams tourist for climbing sacred pyramid In the comments, TikTok users criticized the unnamed tourist for her actions. “Why can’t people BEHAVE when they go out. So embarrassed for her and horrified for these people as they watch something so sacred be disrespected,” one wrote. “I instantly feel happy that everyone there wasn’t having it and rightfully boo’d her off,” another user shared. “I’m waiting for the internet to find this woman’s identity because wtf is wrong with people. They should be publicly shamed,” a third said. “The crowd yelling ‘jail, jail, jail!’ makes me feel better about society seeing these acts as egregious rather than applaudable,” someone else added. At the time of writing, INAH authorities have yet to report the incident, and the woman remains unidentified.

Viral TikTok shows mechanic ripping out car battery over an alleged pay dispute TikTok: EleydiruizTikTok users have become enthralled by a viral altercation between an enraged mechanic and a driver in Philadelphia, leading the mechanic to rip out a battery from a moving car. Every day a new trend appears on TikTok but what really captivates viewers is undoubtedly drama. However, this time it isn’t beef between influencers, but a clash between a mechanic and a driver on the streets of Philadelphia. After the driver allegedly failed to pay for repairs, the mechanic literally took matters into his own hands and stopped a moving car in its tracks. TikTok users debate over Philadelphia mechanic’s actions In a now-viral video posted by TikTok user @eleydiruiz, a Philadelphia-based mechanic is shown disconnecting a car battery while the vehicle is moving, while clearly full of rage. While the full story of the argument has yet to be revealed, the caption reads “when you try to run off without paying the mechanic.” The mechanic is shown removing the battery and then attempting to smash the driver’s side window, failing to do so. This has caused TikTok users to ridicule the widow-breaking effort: “Damn that window stronger than my last relationship.” Commenter @KittieJRose said, “I punched a window before and the surgery wasn’t worth it.” However, many TikTok users are unsure whether reacting aggressively was the right call in this situation. @GusN93 isn’t sure all the pieces of the story are present, saying “something is missing from this story maybe he didn’t even fix it right.” TikTok user @MichaelRaquel questioned the quality of the mechanic’s repairs, adding “Car should have kept running. Damn car ain’t fixed. Alternator is bad.” As the video gains more traction, one thing is for sure: always pay the mechanic.

Viral TikTok shows cat playing tic-tac-toe during Coronavirus quarantine iqraanabi – TwitterDespite all of the gloominess it’s brought onto the world, the recent Coronavirus outbreak has at least produced one silver lining – adorable TikTok videos of pets playing tic-tac-toe. With so many temporarily off work and school due to the Coronavirus, staying home with not much to do, there’s been another, much brighter outbreak – one involving pets, tic-tac-toe, and TikTok. User ‘iqraanabi’ posted the most adorable video playing the simple paper-and-pencil game with her cat, Taz, which has struck gold in terms of views. Over the first 20 hours, it amassed over 652,000 views on TikTok, and another whopping 10.1 million on Twitter. https://twitter.com/iqraanabi/status/1239294114094632961 It seems that the charming nature of the clip has struck a chord with people, since the result of the game was pretty one-sided, as you’d imagine. It ended in the minimum three moves, but the fact that Taz was clearly and visibly pointing to spots on the paper for where its owner should draw the O’s is just pure awesomeness. In fact, what could be the funniest part doesn’t come until the end of the video, when the owner lovingly points a middle finger only for her cat to react angrily, as anyone would when being taunted after a loss. A while after posting this TikTok, the user followed it up with an update – a clip captioned “what a sore loser,” showing the kitty scaling a wall in agony after the defeat. https://twitter.com/iqraanabi/status/1239580115396431880 If the music and concept of the video seem familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen another one that’s very similar to it, with the main difference being that it features a turtle instead of a cat. This one’s pulled in over 11.8 million views on TikTok over a three-day span, and a mindblowing 24.3 million on Twitter, making it one of the most viral clips of 2020 so far. It’s clear that people are loving these types of videos for some reason, and it’s not because these pets are showing great aptitude in tic-tac-toe, because they’re definitely not. https://twitter.com/MatthewFoldi/status/1238868585168207873 The owners of this cat and turtle should consider themselves fortunate; their pets at least seem to have a grasp of the game, whereas others’ haven’t proven to be so bright. One user on Twitter posted a clip of her bunny in response to the kitty video, and the rabbit instantly began chewing the piece of paper rather than playing a turn. I tried…….. but it works different with bunnies… pic.twitter.com/NCwg6MKnIW — NagatoPyon (@Nagato_Pyon) March 16, 2020 Either way, there’s no doubt that this type of content is becoming all the rage on TikTok at the moment, and who knows where it’ll end up since there’s no end in sight yet for this Coronavirus scare.

Viral TikTok shows Domino’s worker trying to get himself fired TikTok: Peter.4pfA Domino’s employee captured their attempts at trying to get fired from their job on TikTok in a series of sabotaging videos on the viral video platform. Everyone has found themselves in a job that they dislike but we’ve got all got to put bread on the table, or in this case, pizza. Rather than hand in their notice, TikToker @peter.4pf has taken viewers on a journey as they document various ways they’ve been sabotaging Domino’s in a bid to get fired. The TikToker’s latest installment to their quest for unemployment sees them damaging pizza boxes, much to the amusement of fellow TikTokers. TikToker films strange methods of “sabotaging” Domino’s pizza Since April 29 @peter.4pf has chronicled his bizarre adventure, with the first video “day 1 of sabotaging domino’s till I get fired” kicking off the series. The first video in question shows Peter enacting a rather mundane act of rebellion: using the Domino’s store smartphone to run his TikTok account. When it came to the second part of this unusual series Peter stepped up his sabotage game by “turning off the ovens during rush.” Click here if the TikTok doesn’t load Click here if the TikTok doesn’t load TikTok commenters have chimed in with their thoughts on Peter’s pranks, with one person saying “nah that’s messed up if I had cold pizza I woulda been mad.” Commenter @alexbrody added “this ain’t right” while @simp4robertt jokingly pleaded “Peter stop your family misses you.” Peter has yet to release the third installment of his practical jokes, but it can only be a matter of time before Domino’s takes action.

Viral TikTok sees Ninja impersonator sneak into celebrity basketball game Instagram: ninja, nickwoldA viral TikTok sees Dreamers frontman-turned-TikTok sensation Nick Wold impersonating streaming behemoth Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins to sneak into a celebrity basketball game alongside the likes of Chris Brown, Jack Harlow, and many more. Ninja became one of the biggest names on the internet throughout 2017 and 2018 when the rise of Fortnite correlated directly with his meteoric rise to stardom. Known for his wacky personality, brilliant ability in-game, and ever-changing hair color, Ninja hit the mainstream and became the biggest gamer in the world. Now, his popularity may have waned slightly, but this worked out perfectly in Wold’s favor. With bright blue hair resembling Ninja’s, the Dreamers lead vocalist saw his opportunity and truly grabbed it by the horns. The TikTok, posted on Saturday, June 5, has received over 1 million views already. Considering the account has only 11k followers, this is becoming the definition of viral. The video — which was posted to Dreamers’ main page — sees Nick get into the event without needing to supply identification, which was especially handy as he could conceal much of his face behind a face mask. He then walks around the court and shows off seeing some of his favorite rappers, including the likes of Chris Brown, Jack Harlow, Jason Derulo, and many more. The basketball event was part of Diddy’s The Crew League, a celebrity basketball tournament that airs every week on the Revolt YouTube channel. It seems as though Ninja himself has probably seen it, too. While the star hasn’t posted about it, his wife Jessica tweeted the video, calling Wold an ‘icon’ for the TikTok. While plenty of the comments point out that Wold himself doesn’t look too much like Ninja, it was a good enough disguise to get into the event, which is all he could really ask for. Now, if Nick can bring his band similar success to Ninja’s streaming career, this prank would have benefited him endlessly.

Viral TikTok shocks fans as Black Widow and Harley Quinn lookalikes team-up TikTok: kate_johansson. YouTube: Suicide Squad, Black WidowA TikTok showing two lookalikes of Scarlett Johansson and Margot Robbie has gone massively viral since it was posted on August 4. One person commented, “so you’re telling me that they’re not the real actress” while another said the resemblance was “scary”. Captioning the TikTok “who do you choose?” and asking fans to choose between DC or Marvel Comics, the video has already received over 4.8 million likes, over 51,000 comments, and nearly 26 million views. The video samples Britney Spear’s and will.i.am’s song Scream and Shout. It first shows Kate Shumskaya, aka. @kate_johansson and Anastasyia Prichinina, aka. @russian_harley_official, as themselves. Then as the beat drops, the video transitions to them dressed as Johansson’s and Robbie’s characters respectively. Robbie’s character Harley Quinn is one of the most famous characters from DC Comics while Johannson’s Black Widow is one of Marvel’s lead characters. DC and Marvel Comics are widely seen as rivals by their two fanbases. Click here if the video does not load It’s not the first time Shumskaya’s Johannson character has gone viral either reaching a milestone of 5 million followers on July 12. Shumskaya now has 7.9 million followers. Prichinina has a smaller profile with just 911.1k followers where she has also cosplayed Disney’s Cruella Deville from its films ‘Cruella’ and ‘101 Dalmations. However, a video of the pair on her channel already has 5.9 million views so her follower count should be expected to increase. In the video, Shumskaya as Black Widow can be seen joining Prichinina as Harley Quinn in an elevator. When the doors open, Quinn can be seen dragging Black Widow out unconscious. Best Marvel and DC fan reactions Several fans were particularly shocked about how much Prichinina looked like Robbie as Harley Quinn. One fan wrote on TikTok in caps, “HOW IS THAT NOT HARLEY QUINN” while another just to check asked, “so that’s not Margot?” A TikToker also brought up the very good point that “how does someone who looks exactly like Scarlett happens to know someone who looks exactly like Margot.” Another exclaimed, “this is the best Harley and Black Widow lookalike I’ve ever seen.” One fan commented that their “brain is confused”. Something anyone who has watched the TikTok video can relate to.

Viral TikTok reveals Squid Game translation errors that completely change the show TikTok: Youngmi Mayer/NetflixThe Korean series Squid Game has become one of Netflix’s biggest shows, however, there appear to be a few translation errors that change the dynamic of some conversations and even the theme of the episode. Netflix’s Squid Game has, well and truly, taken over social media in the days since its release. The Korean series has got fans hooked by the unique concept and fascinating twists and turns that lay around every corner. The series is on track to become the most popular show on Netflix ever and its stars have started skyrocketing in popularity themselves, racking up millions of followers on social media in a matter of days. However, there appears to be a few problems that fluent Korean speakers have pointed out which really change the dynamic of some scenes and even full episodes themselves. The errors were pointed out by podcaster Youngmi Mayer in a three-minute-long TikTok post that has since racked up over three million views and even found its way to Twitter, where it’s also shining a light on the mistakes. In the post, Mayer points out that the dialogue of Han Mi-nyeo is “constantly botched” and the translations miss points about her character. “It seems so small, but it’s the character’s entire purpose of being in the f**king show,” she said. As another example, the podcaster shows a conversation between two characters where the English translation misses a key line that plays into the wider theme of the episode. “It’s a very small sentence, but now it doesn’t even make sense,” Mayer lamented. “That is such a difference in ideology that the writer is trying to get across to you, it’s making me so angry.” Youngmi also notes that there are plenty of other errors scattered through the show that she’d highlight if she got the chance, and given how popular her post has become, that might happen. Though, as noted, the errors are unlikely to make viewers turn away. The show may have captivated a global audience, but maybe Netflix will address the translations at some point.

Viral TikTok reveals what happens to Uber Eats orders when customers don’t tip Pixabay/TikTokHave you ever wondered what happens to Uber Eats and Door Dash deliveries that don’t get tips? A viral TikTok has shown off stacks of undelivered orders that drivers refuse to take. There’s no denying that Uber Eats, Door Dash, and other food delivery services have been a major lifesaver to anyone looking for a dine-out experience while staying in for the night, but that convenience isn’t cheap. With delivery fees, service charges, and taxes – what would normally be a $10 meal can quickly cost double, and that’s without an optional tip for drivers. So, what happens to deliveries that don’t have a tip attached to them? That’s exactly what TikToker ‘Mrpanda’ revealed in a wild clip that has gone viral. (Click here if TikTok fails to load) TikToker shows stacks of untipped orders that drivers won’t take In the clip, the TikToker walked into an unknown restaurant and showed off a bunch of orders that went undelivered, claiming some had been sitting there for over four hours. “These been sitting here for four hours because no dashers would take non-tip orders,” they explained. “No tip, no trip. The worker told me no dashers/Uber Eats/Grub Hub went to get the orders.” In the comments, Mrpanda addressed some users claiming that tips sometimes happen after a delivery has already been made. “Everyone saying to tip after the delivery, don’t know that the driver has to drive to the restaurant and wait for the order which sometimes takes 20-30 minutes. That’s your service right there, that’s why we only take good tippers’ orders, because increased tips in a no-tip order rarely happens.” The clip has spread like wildfire on the site, amassing over 5.4 million views in under a week. It will be interesting to see if people who don’t normally tip decide to change their ways after seeing how many orders go undelivered.

Viral TikTok reveals secret message in classic Eminem track Wikimedia Commons/fiveforty540Eminem is widely regarded as one of the best rappers of all time. One TikTok has reminded us of that, displaying a hidden message in the Real Slim Shady revealed by a process called “backmasking”. While his latest albums may not have been up to snuff, Eminem’s original music is some of the best rap music the genre has ever seen. When at the peak of his powers, Eminem released The Slim Shady LP, featuring songs like “Guilty Conscience” and “Role Model”. The album won Best Rap Album at the Grammy awards in 2000 and has been certified gold and platinum worldwide. The track that comes to mind for most people, however, is “My Name Is” which has had a secret piece of genius go viral on TikTok, and it’s absolutely brilliant. Posted by user @fiveforty540 AKA Gary, the process of “backmasking” a record was explained. The crux is this: records rotate in a set direction to make the music play, so by reversing the rotation, you get the sound in reverse. Artists can then insert secret messages into the track to be played by eagle-eared people experimenting with the rotation. Backmasking the original 1999 vinyl pressing of The Slim Shady LP, over “My Name Is”, reveals a hidden line within the song. When backmasking, the words “It’s Eminem” can be heard, which is a slick easter egg inserted into a top-class album. Gary describes the backmasking as “a real true introduction into the layers of Marshall Mathers as Eminem as Slim Shady”, which links to Eminem’s general focus on identity in his music. If you have a record player of your own, you can give the backmasking technique a go with other vinyls, too. Artists like Oasis, Linkin Park and The Beatles have all used backmasking at some point to hide messages in their discography, so it’s definitely something to keep an ear out for.

Viral TikTok reveals how clean Chick-Fil-A food actually is TikTok: @closeintel, Chick-Fil-ATikTok users are looking at Chick-Fil-A food in a new light after a TikToker has examined their chicken under a microscope. Fast food restaurants are the kingdoms of comfort food, whether it’s McDonald’s or Chick-Fil-A. TikToker @closeintel brought home some Chick-Fil-A chicken, but it wasn’t just for eating this time. To get a clear vision of just how sanitary their food is, the TikToker put it under a microscope, captivating the viral video platform in the process. TikToker’s microscopic look at Chick-Fil-A TikToker @closeintel has taken deep dives into fast food products before, but his microscopic look at Chick-Fil-A chicken has divided the platform. In the video, the TikToker breaks down the skin and meat itself: “first the skin, I see lots of spices. I also see some kind of fibers, not sure what they are, and lots of grease.” Moving onto the meat @closeintel was surprised just how “clean” the product was: “no blue or red fibers like McDonald’s.” While most TikToker commenters are fascinated by @cleanintel’s dissection of Chick-Fil-A’s menu, others are afraid their future experiences will be ruined. One TikTok user, Krystena1220, said: “you’re not going to ruin it for me!!! Still eating it I don’t care what’s in it!” Another user agreed and added: “I don’t even care if it got little fibers on I’m still eating it.” However, others have appreciated @closeintel’s scientific approach to fast food, with TikToker commenter @iAkiSama saying: “I love your content so much. It reminds me why I was attracted to science when I was a kid.” Other commenters have requested the TikToker to examine “Burger King” and “Dunkin Donuts”, so it’s only a matter of time before a Whopper is under the microscope.

Viral TikTok reveals NFL fan’s bet to run on the field before being tackled on live TV TikTok: trentsdreamcoA TikToker has given NFL fans a behind-the-scenes look at what happened moments before their friend ran onto the field and got laid out during the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills playoff game. While streaking during a sporting event may have become less common over the years, activists and fans still regularly storm the field of big events and games in the hopes of getting their small moment of fame. It happens in everything from the Super Bowl to the Olympics, Wimbledon, and the World Cup – but it usually ends up with the invader being hauled down by security after a small chase. During the wild Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills AFC Divisional round playoff game, one Chiefs fan decided to run onto the field, and ended up as an internet meme after getting wiped out by Buffalo’s star wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Here comes the boom! #ChiefsKingdom #streaker pic.twitter.com/GPWRUFt5a8 — Carl Fugate (@carlfugate) January 24, 2022 Chiefs vs Bills Stefon Diggs tackle TikTok Some of the clips of the tackle have managed to attract over four million views, as fans have taken pleasure in watching the massive hit. Well, TikToker trentsdreamco has revealed a behind-the-scenes look at what happened just moments before the tackle, as it was their friend who made their way onto the field. It wasn’t just a random moment of madness either, as the TikToker bet their pal $1000 that he wouldn’t do it. “$1000 to run on the f**king field and get arrested, and spend the night in the drunk tank?” they replied before actually following through on the bet. Though, he clearly wasn’t counting on getting wiped out by Diggs or wrapped up around the neck by security. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load The TikTok post has way surpassed some of the other clips of the wild moment, amassing over 8.8 million views in under a day of being live on the app. There’s no word yet on whether the bet has been paid up, but TikTok users are eager to know what happened in the aftermath. We’ll just have to wait and see if there is a follow-up.

Viral TikTok ‘Quiet Quitting’ work trend explained A TikTok video calls out the controversy surrounding “Quiet Quitting,” speaking about the importance of work-life balance. In recent years, millions of people worldwide have been working to find and maintain healthier lifestyles – especially at work. This includes looking for better work environments, fighting for fair wages, and striving to get back on track with dreams and goals. Recently, a new trend called “Quiet Quitting” has become part of this journey, and viral TikTok shared by baobao.farm explains why the name is misleading. What is Quiet Quitting? TikTok trend explained Quiet Quitting, as explained in the video, is the act of not going above and beyond at work. This means only doing core tasks outlined in a position in order to maintain a healthier work-life balance. The TikToker explains the trend is proof there are problems in the system. Employees shouldn’t have to burn themselves out with extra workloads to make the incomes they deserve. In another video shared by zaidleppelin, Quiet Quitting is described as “quitting the idea of going above and beyond at work”. The video points out that “work is not your life”, and shows the TikToker engaging in other pleasant activities. Meanwhile, a TikTok from @zaidleppelin On quiet quitting #workreform ♬ original sound – ruby ” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>gabrielle_judge goes over several different perspectives of the trend, stating that instead of setting healthy boundaries, employees can do the bare minimum. The video also theorizes Quiet Quitting could be a ploy by large companies designed to guilt employees about setting healthy boundaries. Regardless of the trend, it is safe to say that setting healthy boundaries is beneficial for overall happiness. Hopefully, these videos will be a reminder that setting limits is important for any employee’s mental and physical health.

She says yes. We go with a group of friends, and we are having a great time. Throughout the game we are flirting, hugging, kissing a little bit, etc. “We also do this thing where one of us leans in for a kiss, and the other person leans away, which is an inside joke between the two of us. So, we do our little inside joke thing, and unbeknownst to us, we are being recorded.” He clarified that she didn’t get rejected and that they were just “playing around,” adding that they didn’t know they were being recorded. This explanation was also backed up by the girl from the video on her TikTok account. Their posts were quickly met with supportive comments from readers who told the couple they look “adorable,” calling out the internet for making such quick judgments from the short clip.

Viral TikTok of teens walking into a random house sparks debate TikTok: secretmizzyA group of teens in London have sparked controversy as they film themselves walking into a random house in the middle of the day. The video has sparked debates across several different platforms. Here’s everything you need to know about the debate. TikTok trends can be about anything under the sun. From dancing to popular songs to cooking a new viral recipe, the possibilities are endless. But when does a video go too far? That’s the debate that’s currently going on on social media after a TikToker named secretmizzy posted a video of him and his friends walking into a stranger’s home in London. Being used to making videos about running from security guards and doing practical jokes on strangers, the group is no stranger to doing things for views. But have their last prank gone too far? Why did they walk into a random house? Having previously done other controversial things to gain likes and followers, walking into a stranger’s home seemed to be the next plan in gaining a bigger following. The video started with the three boys saying they were planning on walking into a random house. The next clip saw the group open the gate to a home, walking past a woman doing garden work, and up the stairs to the front door. The woman soon followed them and called out “James” as they all got inside. A man, James, is heard replying from the kitchen downstairs and soon runs up the stairs when he sees the unknown boys in his home. He quickly asks them to leave. But Mizzy decides to instead walk into the living room and make himself comfortable on the couch before finally walking out of the house. Despite the video seeming real, fans are wondering how true it actually is as Mizzy captioned the post: “JAMESSS #mizzy #fakesituation #blowthisup.” What are people saying? Since the video was posted on May 16, it’s been viewed over 1.7 million times on TikTok. It has also been shared across other platforms, such as Twitter, as people have a lot to say about the viral video. One person wrote on Twitter: “To be fair I would’ve known they’re just messing around for social media. But I still would’ve wiped the floor with them.” Another person said: “So people are filming themselves doing crimes. Pretty sure breaking and entering even if the door is open is a big ol’ offence.” A third added: “Best keep your doors locked, at all times!” “This isn’t funny or entertaining :/,” a fourth person wrote.

Viral TikTok of ‘UFO’ being transported splits the internet TikTokA clip of a supposed ‘UFO’ has been trending like crazy on TikTok, after one user appeared to have a close encounter. However, many viewers aren’t buying it. If you’ve ever scrolled through the internet for a short period of time, you’ve more than likely come across someone trying to convince you that they’ve had a run-in with an alien. When it comes to TikTok, these supposed close encounters appear to be happening with exceeding regularity. Some TikTokers even claim that they speak alien languages and have “transmissions” to people out there in the solar system. Yes, seriously. In recent weeks, a few clips have gone viral that claim to show ‘UFOs’ being transported elsewhere in the United States. Though, none have quite taken off like the one posted on March 9 by the mystery.usa01 account. TikTok is obsessed with ‘UFO’ being transported, but is it real? It’s only a brief one, with a woman screaming in the background as the truck and its oversized cargo – which, granted, does look like the stereotypical UFO – pass by them on the highway. The short clip has racked up over 115 million views at the time of writing, as TikTokers have become enamored with knowing what exactly is being transported. Some are convinced it’s from another planet, and others have a few more logical explanations – like the fact it could be a Disney movie prop. “Bro do y’all not think. IT’S A MOVIE PROP,” commented one viewer. “That is the roof to a silo,” another suggested. “That’s part of a carnival ride sir,” another viewer added. Some viewers couldn’t help but poke fun at it all too. “You think UFOs look like the ones in cartoons?” another commenter said. “It must be true, it’s on TikTok!” another joked. As we’ve seen previously, some users have taken older YouTube clips, added new sound, and tried to claim that its a new video. The clip doesn’t appear to be edited from an older viral clip, but it has achieved its goal of going viral anyway as users continue to add to the debate that rages on in the comment section.

Viral TikTok of Katy Perry’s eye “glitch” during concert sparks concern TIKTOK: katyperrytvA viral TikTok video of Katy Perry seemingly losing control of her right eye with a twitch mid-concert has sparked worries from fans. The ‘Never Really Over’ singer was filmed during a performance at Las Vegas, and seemed to suffer an eye “glitch” at some point while on stage. In a viral video with over 19.2 million views, the camera focused in on the Katy Perry‘s face and she appeared to lose control of her right eyelid. The singer, who was staring into the audience as she struggled with her eye, used her hand to try and lift her eyelid back into its place, but her effort proved futile as it remained shut. She then put a hand to her temple to try and open it once more. When her eyelid finally seemed back to normal, Katy continued on with the show. The 17-second clip was shared on TikTok on 24 October, and has since sparked concern and conspiracy theories among fans and viewers. “Her clone was glitching. That’s scary,” one person wrote in the comments. “Her robot seems to glitch a lot,” another added. “It wasn’t the eye thing that was weird it was the fact she acted like it didn’t happen and went on with the show…” a third commented. “For the ones who don’t see the problem you are the problem,” someone else shared. Others found the singer’s eye “glitch” moment funny. “That baby doll you had as a kid with the eye that kept closing,” one person joked. “She lost the wifi connection,” another quipped. Some viewers were worried she may have been struck down by facial paralysis, as the right side of her face didn’t move. While it’s unclear what caused Katy’s eyelid to shut, the singer acknowledged in 2021 that she suffered from lazy eye or ‘wonk eye,’ which could explain the events of the concert.

Viral TikTok of a real “mermaid” in Kenya splits the internet TikTok: MaryMusyoka/UnsplashA TikTok video has gone viral online that appears to expose the existence of mermaids in a small African town — but is it real? Mermaids are mythical creatures that have long been debated among enthusiasts, with some believing that they really do exist, inhabiting various marine areas around the world. Similar to the likes of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster, Merpeople sightings have been discussed and shared online over the years, and the latest ‘sighting’ has gone viral all over TikTok. Clocking in at over 9 million views at the time of writing, this video has got everyone on the app talking, and discussing whether this is finally proof that mermaids actually exist. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load The video itself sees the original poster, MaryMusyoka, showing their findings in footage from Ukunda, Kenya. The video shows a bunch of beach-goers gathered around a washed-up creature that some are claiming is a mermaid, with the upper body of a young girl but the lower body of a fish. The creature’s fins and tail appear to be moving, in contrast to the lifeless upper body of the ‘mermaid.’ But, some viewers aren’t convinced. Is it a mermaid in the viral TikTok? It’s hard to say with 100% certainty, but the likelihood of this being an actual mermaid seems minimal, given the fact that proof of mermaids even existing has been slim. Some of the comments suggest it looks more like a fish eating the girl, given its grunting and flailing, and that the people surrounding it are simply trying to “clout chase” by posting and saying it’s a mermaid. It’s unclear exactly what the situation is, but it’s fair to say this has caused a huge stir on TikTok and even further afield.

Viral TikTok of guest cutting wedding cake before bride and groom sparks debate TIKTOK: mediocrehaileyA viral TikTok video of a guest accidentally cutting a wedding cake before the bride and groom has left viewers divided.

The video was shared by the wedding guest, and showed her cutting into the top tier of her friend’s wedding cake with a knife, licking some of the white icing off her finger as she took a slice. According to the text overlay for the video, she ignored the brownie table that was left out for guests, and thought the bride and groom already served the cake to everyone else. “Ignoring the brownie table and confidently cutting myself a slice of HER WEDDING CAKE thinking uh-oh! They forgot to serve it to everyone else!” she wrote. “I know better now, I hate myself.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load TikTok divided over guest being the first to cut wedding cake Many TikTok users took to the comments to share their frustration regarding the incident. “This made me angry and it’s not my wedding,” one wrote. “The way someone was even recording this instead of running up and stopping you,” another added. “I can’t wait for brides to add this to the list of things they stress out about happening on their wedding day,” a third commented. “Noooo pls because I would never talk to you again,” someone else said. Others found the accident hilarious. “But it’s literally just a cake? I’d be howling laughing if someone did this to mine,” one user shared. “These comments are not it omg this is actually so funny like if my friend did this at my wedding I would find it absolutely hilarious,” another wrote. Luckily, all was forgiven for the wedding guest, as the bride commented: “She is formally forgiven and has learned her lesson in wedding etiquette.”

Viral TikTok iPhone hack is unlocking the internet’s eavesdropping dreams Apple/TiktokThere’s a new iPhone hack going viral on Tiktok that has users dreaming up ways they could use their phones to eavesdrop on conversations they’re not invited to. A video from Agents of Shield Actor Elizabeth Henstridge has Tiktok users questioning the morality behind a little-known iPhone feature called ‘Live Listen.’ This is a mode in Apple’s iPhone settings that allows users to listen to conversations happening up to 50ft. away from their device through the use of an exterior Bluetooth-capable device. While this feature primarily serves as a sort of hearing aid for users with audio impairments, the internet has come up with several creative ways to put the extended range capabilities to the test in their everyday lives. Viral Tiktok questions the morality of iPhone’s Live Listen feature When Henstridge’s video started to blow up, it took no time at all for the Marvel star’s comment section to flood with users sharing their experiences with the program, or how they would like to use it in the future. One of the more nefarious ideas was to listen in on the dinner table while you’re away: “So at family gatherings when I step out of the room I can hear what they’re saying about me now? Bet.” Similarly, u/Stephanieresists imagined a world of chaos erupting from the adoption of this technology: “A whole messy trail of broken marriages and relationships in 3…2…1…” Someone else added that this is just S.H.I.E.L.D’s way of watching over Henstridge’s Dr. Simmons, claiming, “It’s Coulson and Fury keeping tabs on you!” How to setup Live Listen on iPhone If you want to activate the feature for yourself, you’ll need to dive into your settings. Open the Accessibility menu – Select Hearing Devices – Locate your device under MFi Hearing Devices – Start Live Listen – Once you’ve tapped the button, you can leave your device behind while still listening to everything going on in the immediate area of your phone. Whenever you’re done, simply click “End Live Listen” to stop the audio transmission until you turn it back on. There’s plenty of room to use this feature practically, but be careful what you decide to listen in on – you might be better off not hearing it at all.

Viral TikTok Halloween hack makes pumpkin carving easier than ever TikTok: brunchwithbabsTikToker ‘brunchwithbabs’ has gone viral with her video sharing all her best tips for making pumpkin carving cleaner and easier, just in time for Halloween. With Halloween season in full swing, TikTokers across the world have been getting creative with their themed content, sharing ideas for last-minute costumes, or recipes for spooky treats. Many have also shared videos about pumpkin carving, including grandma of eight ‘brunchwithbabs,’ who told viewers her best tips for carving to make the sometimes tricky process a lot easier. She started by suggesting that users sit with the pumpkin on their lap rather than standing, and to cut open the pumpkin from the bottom rather than the top as many usually do. One of the most time-consuming parts of pumpkin carving can, for many people, be scraping out the insides, but Babs showed that an easier way to do it is to use a hand mixer in order to loosen everything up first. She went on to use a dry-erase red marker to draw out the face so that she could easily wipe away to pen once the design was carved out. And, to make cutting the design easier, she suggested using cookie cutters and a soft-headed mallet instead of a knife. Finally, she put vaseline along the new cuts in the pumpkin to stop it from drying out as quickly, and sprinkled cinnamon inside the pumpkin to give it a nice scent. Viewers on TikTok were blown away by these simple but effective hacks, with one user writing, “the end shocked me. I have never seen the pumpkin cut from the bottom. Genius.” Another added: “I was today years old when I realized I’ve been doing this the hard way my entire life!” Babs’ video has garnered over 3 million likes and 25 million views, and it looks like many are set to try these hacks out this Halloween.

Viral TikTok hand signal for help saves missing teen canadianwomen.orgA missing 16-year-old girl has been saved after she used a hand signal for distress that went viral on TikTok to get the attention of passing vehicles. With such a huge userbase, TikTok is increasingly becoming the place to go to spread awareness about important causes online, and the hand signal for help was one of them. The signal for help campaign was launched by the Canadian Women’s Foundation in 2020, and was originally used as a way for a person to silently indicate that they need help or are in a dangerous domestic situation via video calls. It quickly went viral on TikTok, with people spreading the word about the potentially life-saving signal across the app. To use the gesture, face your palm forward, tuck your thumb over your palm, and then fold your fingers over your thumb. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load Now, a missing 16-year-old girl from North Carolina has been saved after using the signal to alert passing cars to her distress. Deputies told WKYT that the person who called 911 did so after seeing the girl give the signal from inside the car she was in. They reportedly stayed on the phone with dispatchers until police intercepted and stopped the car. 61-year-old James Herbert Brick was arrested for “unlawful imprisonment” of the teen who had been reported missing several days prior. The Canadian Women’s Foundation explains that if you see someone making the signal, “check in with the person safely to find out what they need and want you to do.” They also state that it does not necessarily mean you should call the authorities right away, and instead means, “reach out to me safely.” The incident has prompted more people to re-share the viral hand signal in the hopes of raising awareness and potentially saving lives.

Viral TikTok groom from $56 million wedding arrested for shooting at police Unsplash.com: Nathan DumlaoA groom who went viral on TikTok last year for holding “the wedding of the century” was arrested on suspicion of opening fire on a police officer. Texan Jacob LaGrone, who went viral in 2022 for his enormous wedding that featured several days of events and cost over $50 million, was arrested for “aggravated assault on a public servant.” The wedding took TikTok by storm when bride Madelaine Brockway posted highlights of the five-day celebration on the site, which included live performances by Maroon 5 and a $56 million price tag at the Amangiri resort in the Utah desert. Each night of the event had a different theme, such as “Pretty in Pink” and “Golden Hour”. “Wedding of the century” groom arrested on assault charges But it looks like the couple’s fortune has taken a turn for the worse after LaGrone was charged with three counts of aggravated assault against police after he allegedly fired a gun at them in March earlier this year. Three officers from Westworth Village and Westover Hills said they were responding to “multiple disturbance calls” on 14th March when they allegedly “were fired upon” by LaGrone. According to court documents and reporting by NBC News, LaGrone was offered a plea deal of 25 years in prison after appearing in court on the 30th November. His newly-wedded wife has since stopped posting on social media, and took down several videos that related to the wedding.

Viral TikTok from Logan vs Mayweather event compares it to Fyre Festival Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME, TikTok: Cbass429A TikTok from the Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather boxing match has shown an inside look at how the event was for spectators, and it paints a pretty grim picture. The event was a huge spectacle, with fans from the boxing and online worlds colliding to watch the matchup, expecting a 50-0 Mayweather to completely dominate the YouTube star. While there were no knockouts and no judged winner, Mayweather clearly had the upper hand throughout, though Logan did surprise some people by getting a few decent strikes in. While the event was attended by many top influencers and celebrities, each backing their respective fighters, the actual fans in attendance didn’t quite get the crazy ringside experience. Much of the footage that has been seen from Paul vs Mayweather has been from the perspective of their ringside guests, but one fan posted a TikTok comparing it to the infamous failure that was Fyre Festival — and it’s clear why. Cbass429 posted to TikTok during one of the undercard fights, explaining that he paid $750 for his Row 2 tickets — where the in-ring action could barely be seen as it was so far away, and the audience didn’t have announcers to call the matches as they happened. “We can’t even see the fight,” he said. “This is wild… This is Fyre Fest.” Since uploading it on Saturday, June 6, the post has racked up well over 4 million views and almost 300,000 likes, with many either shocked at what Cbass429 got for the price, or shocked that they actually bought tickets in the first place. While many mocked Cbass for actually attending, he took it all in his stride and was clearly simply surprised at the experience they were having. Needless to say, he’ll think twice before doing that again.

Viral TikTok Grandma lays out rules for her funeral and the internet is obsessed TikTok: Grandma DroniakTikTok user Grandma Droniak has gone viral for addressing some key rules that she’d like attendees of her funeral to abide by, with many users becoming obsessed with her laid-back approach. Talking about plans for our eventual passing on isn’t a comfortable subject for anyone, but one TikToker has captured viewers around the world for making the situation far less upsetting. Grandma Droniak has over 3.2 million followers on TikTok, with all of them becoming obsessed with Droniak’s simple set of rules for her own funeral. As the clip goes viral, more TikTok users are asking questions and wondering just why does Droniak have beef with a woman called Bertha? Grandma Droniak doesn’t want Bertha at her funeral Outside of uploading vlogs with her grandson Kevin, Grandma Droniak has a loving TikTok following that are going crazy over Droniak’s funeral rules. Stating in the caption “it won’t be any time soon but don’t forget,” Droniak laid down her straightforward wishes: “These are my rules for my funeral, listen up. You could cry but don’t cry too much. Don’t make a fool of yourself.” “Bertha is not invited! Don’t let her in. And you better get drunk afterwards, take a shot for me!” added Droniak. Droniak’s wishes are causing a hilarious stir in the comments, with some users asking whether they be “drunk during” the funeral, prompting Droniak to say nothing more than “sure.” However, it is the mysterious nature of Bertha’s banishment from the funeral that has TikTok users begging for more context. Many users have asked Droniak for a “story time,” in which she could explain just where her beef for Bertha began. Commenter SchubyDoobert said: “if Bertha turns up, there will be two funerals.” Even the official DuoLingo account, out of nowhere, commented: “justice for Bertha.” It’s an intriguing mystery that Grandma Droniak has yet to clear up. We’ll be waiting for the next chapter of the Bertha saga.

Viral TikTok exposes “secret room” in Target for watching customers TikTok: SANTI / Wikimedia Commons: Jay ReedA TikToker is going viral for exposing secret rooms in certain Target locations, which they claim are for keeping an eye on customers near the checkout area. TikTok is known for making certain discoveries go viral. For instance, one woman’s “hack” for getting $2 burritos at Chipotle was a huge hit on the site, and the app’s viral “shower jeans” method left users trying out the benefits of showering with pants on for themselves. However, this latest discovery is making all Target regulars raise an eyebrow as the chain is now coming under intense online scrutiny. On May 3, 2022, Target employee and TikTok user ‘Santi’ posted a video near Target’s self-checkout area before panning the camera to show a series of mirrors lining the top of a far wall near the ceiling. It turns out that these aren’t your usual mirrors; instead, Santi climbed up a flight of stairs to show that these are actually two-way mirrors that look out onto the store from a “secret room.” The room appears to be a space specifically for employees, seeming to house offices and meeting rooms alongside an area that allows them to look out onto the store floor. “If you see mirrors like this in a Target, they are watching you,” Santi captioned the video. Click here if TikTok fails to load. The clip has garnered over 4.4 million views since being posted just a day ago — and viewers are giving their takes on the situation with some hilarious comments. “Well they aren’t doing a good job,” one commenter said. “Cause I walked out with an air fryer.” “Watch me do what?” another wrote. “Try and find a shirt that isn’t cropped?” “Mans snitched on his own company,” another user added. It’s safe to say that this is making us a little extra-aware of any mirrors in our local Target store — a chain that came under fire mere days prior after one TikToker discovered a slew of brand-new bikes in a dumpster behind her a Target location.

Viral TikTok exposes YouTubers & celebrities’ alleged DoorDash tips YouTube: Bryce Hall, CANCELLED With Tana Mongeau / Doordash / Pexels.com: Norma MortensonA viral TikTok has DoorDash drivers exposing the alleged tipping habits of certain influencers and celebrities, including personalities like David Dobrik, Tana Mongeau, and even Donald Glover. Meal delivery services are popular and convenient ways to get your favorite foods delivered right to your door… but an key part of the price is the tip that goes toward the delivery driver. One DoorDash delivery driver uploaded a TikTok that is taking the internet by storm, but it’s not just their story that’s turning heads. The TikToker claimed that they’d delivered to a “very rich recording artist’s house in the Hollywood Hills” just to receive a $2 tip despite the arduous journey there. The driver’s purported experience has gone viral, accruing nearly one million views, and it’s got a ton of other food delivery drivers speaking out in the comments — and some of the allegations about tips are dropping jaws across the internet. One commenter claimed that the famed music artist Jason Derulo ordered $500 worth of food and left a $0 tip, while another claimed that they received a $2 tip from Kylie Jenner after delivering a $250 order. However, it’s not just A-List celebrities in these comments; several commenters described their experiences with influencers, and the stories aren’t positive, either. Two users stated that they delivered food to David Dobrik’s home, with both drivers claiming they received no tip for their trouble. This prompted another commenter to reply, saying that TikTok star Bryce Hall similarly failed to leave a tip. Yet another stated that Tana Mongeau, a popular YouTuber and former “wife” of Jake Paul, tipped “literally nothing” after putting in a food order for $400. Of course, all of these stories should be taken with a grain of salt, as there’s no way to prove they’re true… but it’s certainly shining a light on the importance of tipping delivery drivers as part of the package deal.

Viral TikTok exposes ‘Karen’ kicked off flight after hoping all passengers “crash and die” TikTok and CanvaIn a viral TikTok, a ‘Karen’ is escorted off a Spirit Airlines flight. But prior to leaving, she shouts out that she hopes all the passengers “crash and die,” which prompts a reaction from even the flight captain. The viral TikTok begins with passengers greeting the ‘Karen’ as she’s escorted off of the plane. But after being booed by a passenger, instead of walking away peacefully, the lady shouts rude remarks to everyone. “Boo you b**ch. If you were in my position, you would do the same thing.” Seeing as how the video lacks context, it’s impossible to tell if the common passenger would have done the same thing given the unknown circumstance. But one thing is definitely clear, the ‘Karen’ was lacking in class, as the last thing she told the others was “I hope y’all crash and die!” This comment was received with “oohs” throughout the plane. As for the pilot, the rude statement prompted him to stand up and confront the lady directly. Since the confrontation happens off-screen, it’s impossible to tell exactly what went down from that point on. The comment section for the viral TikTok video criticized the lady, as you might have expected. “That’s not something you wish for on Spirit,” one user added. For those unaware, Spirit Airlines has had a history of malfunctioning airplanes, making the person’s comment especially bad in taste. “Why was she getting kicked off in the first place? Story time please!” another viewer asks, clearly interested in the full story. But unfortunately for them, the original TikTok user has yet to provide context within the comment section or in another video.

Viral TikTok ‘exposes’ Machine Gun Kelly’s secret guitar feature Instagram: Machine Gun KellyA Guitar Center employee has recently “exposed” Machine Gun Kelly for allegedly faking playing his guitar during live performances. Music artist Machine Gun Kelly, 31, has over 3.3 million followers on TikTok, with an added 18.5 million streams on Spotify. In a recent video uploaded to TikTok, the “Kiss Kiss” singer was called out for not having his guitar’s volume on during multiple live performances. TikToker exposes MGK for not playing the guitar On March 3, a video was uploaded by TikTok user @gunnar_dugrey that showed the “kill switch” on MGK’s guitar flipped in the downward position, rendering the guitar “completely silent.” The TikToker went on to question whether the 31-year-old actually uses the guitar or if it is just for show. In the video, the TikToker goes through screenshots of the singer holding his guitar, zooming in to see if the “kill switch” is in the down position, meaning it’s “completely silent.” As the creator cycles through the photos, it’s revealed that in some live performances, the guitar appears to be muted. The video currently has over 1.8 million views with fans flooding the comments to clown on the musician. “It’s like when you give your siblings the unplugged controller when gaming – but the band gave him the silent guitar, lmfao,” one commenter wrote. “I think I saw Jamie Lee Curtis playing for him backstage at Coachella,” another commenter joked. Although he’s getting roasted online right now, MGK is no stranger to the social media space, having recruited influencers like Corpse Husband for a collab last year — a project where he didn’t break out the guitar for a music video.

Viral Milani Cosmetics TikTok ‘exposes’ Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial evidence A viral TikTok from Milani Cosmetics is making waves for calling out an inconsistent piece of evidence from the high-profile Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial. The cosmetics brand was quick to debunk a part of the opening statements from Heard’s team which highlighted one of its products to support the case against Depp. As a part of Heard’s defense, a lawyer claimed the actress would frequently use a ‘Milani Conceal + Perfect All-in-One Correcting Kit’ to cover up signs of abuse. The lawyer went on to say Heard would allegedly carry the kit on her person throughout the relationship. Depp v Heard trial goes viral on TikTok This quickly caught the eye of Milani who posted on TikTok to debunk the claim after it went into the backlog of when it first released the correcting kit. The company noted how the “alleged abuse was around 2014-2016,” with Heard and Depp calling it quits in ‘16. That’s all they needed to hear before dropping the video to the tune of TikTok’s ‘International Super Spy’ sound. “You asked us… let the record show that our Correcting Kit launched in 2017,” they said. Then the video cuts to what appears to be the company’s in-house marketing for the Correcting Kit in the time leading up to its launch. As far as Heard’s lawyer’s claim on the single piece of evidence, many TikTok viewers were convinced by what they saw. “I love how a whole company exposed her. My day is so much better,” one person said, reacting to the video. “Obsessed!” Milani joked, replying to a different viewer. “We are here to provide the facts of the case.” Since publishing the video on April 22, the video has gone on to get over four million views with thousands of people reacting to the clip.

Viral TikTok exposes how difficult Squid Game’s challenges really are TikTokThe hit Korean Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ has taken the internet by storm, and now, TikTok users are discovering how deadly the show’s challenges actually are by trying them out themselves. In the show, hundreds of down-on-their-luck individuals agree to participate in a series of challenges based on children’s games in order to win a fortune. It’s a fun premise, especially considering the fact that all of the games have a deadly twist: If you fail, you die. Given the simplicity of some of the games, TikTokers have been trying them out for themselves with viral results. Just be aware that these videos do contain some slight show spoilers, but with that out of the way, let’s see how dangerous these challenges are for normal people. Squid Game’s “Red Light, Green Light” challenge The first game played on the show is Red Light, Green Light. When the large robotic female looks away, you’re free to run to the finish line, but you must stop when she turns back around. In the show, many characters are unable to complete the challenge and are shocked to discover that the immediate penalty for failure is death. TikTokker Viprawr actually recreated the scene to near perfection, robotic girl and all. In the clip, you can see four players successfully stop as the girl turns around, avoiding death. Overall, if you know the rules to this game, it’s likely that you’ll succeed, but it may be harder to remain emotionally stable if folks are literally dying right next to you. What is the Honeycomb Squid Game TikTok trend? One of the most interesting and trendy challenges is the Honeycomb game, which saw players attempt to cut out a shape from a candy mold without breaking it within a short time limit. As shown by TikTokker ‘bayashi.tiktok,’ this challenge is a lot tougher than it sounds. After creating a mold for himself with a star design pattern, he attempted to cut it out. With sweat dripping from his brow, he failed miserably. User ‘_urgflol’ also tried the challenge, this time by just breaking off the outside pieces, thinking they’d discovered an easier way to finish the game. This didn’t work, however, and they too failed. In the case of both videos, the creators ended them with a scene from the show of a Triangle villain shooting them in the head. So, while it might be safe to say that while Red Light, Green Light is easier, Honeycomb is a much more difficult game than it seems… and one in which a lot of people may meet their demise in an actual Squid Game.

Viral TikTok ‘exposes’ Hype House’s Olivia Ponton’s “fake” relationship Instagram: Olivia PontonA viral TikTok by TikTok user Hannah Kosh seems to suggest that Olivia Ponton’s relationship with Kaila Novak is “all for views” – and it looks like she has receipts, too. In the TikTok, which has already amassed over 800k views in the 15 hours it’s been live, Kosh claims that Kaila is involved with another girl, Rilie Hardister. Hannah points out that Rilie recently commented on Ponton’s most recent TikTok of herself and Novak, saying: “That wasn’t very ‘everything for views’ of you Kaila.” Kosh also showed evidence that Rilie and Novak know each other, including a screenshot of the two on FaceTime. Although the comment appears to have now been deleted, Hannah claimed that there was a good reason behind the comment, saying that there is an alleged deal between Olivia and Kaila where the two would pretend to date online, with Olivia promising to get Novak’s sister into modeling in return. Backing up these claims, Hannah showed viewers apparent text conversations between Kaila and Rilie. In one text conversation, Kaila appears to tell Rilie that she “need[s] to know that what you’re seeing on the internet just isn’t real.” Another text read: “Every single thing is for views, every word and comment is carefully planned out to get some kind of reaction. I’m doing this all for my sister.” The screenshots also suggest that Ponton is aware of Rilie’s connection to Kaila, with the latter appearing to tell Hardister that Olivia had taken her phone and blocked Rilie on it. Although Kosh never revealed her source for this video, it seems likely that if the leaked text messages are real, they may have come from Rilie. TikTok users had mixed reactions to the claims. Some fans believe claims that the relationship is fake, with one pointing out that “Kai never posts about Liv.” Another fan suggested that Olivia may have faked the relationship in order to win over fans, saying: “I knew Olivia was doing it to stop the hate because everyone was mad at her for coming out as a prank so she got a girlfriend so she could say it was true.” However, others suggested that Olivia might be a victim in the situation too, with one fan saying: “This is sketchy. Sounds like she [Kai] is playing both of them.” Another asked: “If it was just some ‘deal’ why would Liv care enough to block the Rilie girl?” Olivia originally caused speculation about her sexuality in March, when she posted a video lip-syncing to the lyrics: “I am not gay, well first of all ehhh, but let’s be precise/ Cause if she’s pretty then watch it ’cause I’m gonna be f***ing your wife.” With this song being used by a lot of LGBTQ+ people on the app, this led to a lot of people speculating that Ponton was bisexual. This was also around the time she started interacting with Ky on social media, with Olivia posting a video montage of her for her birthday before later posting a TikTok of the two kissing through face masks, effectively confirming their relationship. Last year, Ponton caused backlash among fans after taking part in an April Fool’s challenge along with other TikTokers like Zachary Smith and Ivan Martinez. The challenge involved lip-syncing to Will.i.am’s “Boy’s and Girls” to “come out” as queer. Although it seems that she has since come out for real, rumors about the legitimacy of her relationship with Ky is bound to raise questions again.

Viral TikTok creeps out viewers as Tesla detects ‘ghosts’ in cemetery TikTok: iam3dgar / Pexels.com: SCREEN POSTA TikToker is going viral after recording a clip of their Tesla detecting pedestrians while rolling through a seemingly-empty graveyard. TikTok is a hive for content of all kinds. From viral dance challenges to must-try pasta recipes and more, the video app has something for everyone. However, sometimes TikTokers upload content that takes everyone by surprise, as seen when user ‘iam3dgar’ apparently proved the existence of ghosts… all thanks to their Tesla’s trusty pedestrian detection feature. Some Tesla models come equipped with a system that can detect nearby pedestrians and warn them that the vehicle is approaching by emitting a sound, as electric cars tend to operate fairly quietly. Tesla detects ghosts in abandoned cemetery viral tiktok Drivers can see pedestrians show up on their navigation system on the cars’ digital console, as well, usually represented as a simple, gray model of a person. TikToker ‘iam3dgar’ put this tool to the test while driving through an empty cemetery. After a few seconds of driving, their navigation system showed a “pedestrian” appear on the screen, although no one was standing to the right of the car. The video has racked up over 12 thousand views at the time of writing, with some commenters convinced that the TikToker captured evidence of otherworldly beings. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Unfortunately for lovers of the supernatural, it looks like this is probably just a malfunction of Tesla’s collision warning system, which could be detecting objects or people that aren’t actually present. Another theory presented suggests that the Tesla’s pedestrian warning tool could be mistaking the headstones or other objects for people. Either way, it certainly makes for a spine-chilling discovery… but we’re not so sure it’s as shocking as Elon Musk becoming a major stockholder in Twitter.

Viral TikTok shows woman raging in Denny’s after leaving dog in hot car TikTok: highhanA video of a woman lashing out at people in a Denny’s criticizing her for allegedly leaving her dogs in a hot car is going viral on TikTok, with users calling out the customer for her behavior. When someone captures a crazy incident on camera, often the first place they go to share it with the world these days is TikTok. The app has seen its fair share of viral ‘Karen’ videos, appearing everywhere from Victoria’s Secret to the gym, and the clips often tend to generate outrage among viewers. On March 29, TikTok user highhan uploaded a 15-second-clip of a woman shouting in what appears to be a Dennys, with the caption claiming: “This lady had dogs in her hot car and some girl tried to tell her to not do that.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load “Go away, you f**king idiots,” she said. “God damn liberal idiots today. Sick of these f**king young people. God damn young people. That’s what’s wrong with this world.” In a reply to one of the comments, the original poster went on to write: “The lady was literally telling the girl she was a veterinarian and she knows what she’s doing. I was [like] ma’am obviously not.” The clip quickly garnered a lot of attention on the app, with viewers flooding the comment sections with their thoughts on the altercation. “Has nothing to do with being liberal or republican,” one comment with over 6000 likes read. “You just don’t leave dogs in a hot car. Even if the window is cracked.” “Not a grown woman throwing a fit at Denny’s for mistreating her own dogs,” wrote another. At the time of writing, the video has over 2 million views and 125,000 likes, as it continues to do the rounds on TikTok.

Viral TikTok coffee creamer hack will make your mornings sweeter TikTok: carlyrose352A viral TikTok video provides an incredible life-hack for those who love creamer with their coffee, and it’s about to make your mornings much easier. [jwplayer MvEjv9It] While TikTok isn’t commonly seen as an app to get educated, more often used for comedy skits, dancing, lip-syncing or similar, that’s not to say it doesn’t come in incredibly handy at times. People are often keen to share stuff they’ve learned, tips for all manner of things and ways to make your life slightly easier on the app. That said, this new one from carlyrose really could be about to change your life — or, at the very least, make your mornings a little easier.

Viral TikTok claims Jake Paul’s KO victory over Woodley was rigged Showtime/Instagram/JakepaulJake Paul stunned the boxing world with his incredible knockout against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in their rematch, but a new theory claiming the knockout was rigged has gone viral on TikTok. Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul managed to put his feud with Tyron Woodley to rest by literally putting the former UFC Welterweight champion to sleep in the sixth round. The KO was applauded by many throughout social media as the YouTuber improved his record to 5-0. This was even as Tyron had a whopping $500,000 bonus on the line if he were to score a knockout against his adversary. However, now that the dust has settled, some fans think that the KO may not be as legitimate as it seemed and have pushed a new conspiracy theory suggesting it was staged. https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1472528390334857217 Viral TikTok claims Jake Paul’s KO was staged In a viral video uploaded by user noahaustinlive, it’s alleged that Paul “turned his gloves inside to let Woodley know when to let his arm down.” Basically, the theory is that Jake Paul motioned for Woodley to lower his defenses so he could be rocked by a huge right hand and fall to the mat in a heap. Despite the clip gaining traction over the platform, not everyone is buying the theory with many rushing to defend Jake Paul in the comments. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load “There’s always that one person just admit it Jake won,” a user commented with many others voicing similar sentiments. “Just accept the fact that Jake won, bruh,” another wrote, disregarding claims that the bout was staged. So far, Paul hasn’t addressed rumors that his KO was fake, but the YouTuber has defended himself against such claims in the past. It will be fun to see what’s next for Jake Paul’s boxing career as the 5-0 fighter looks ahead to the new year and potential bouts against Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal on the horizon.
