  • Viral TikTok candles called out by mom after devastating house fire – Dexerto

    Viral TikTok candles called out by mom after devastating house fire PexelsA mother and her family were trapped inside their house after a specific kind of candle from TikTok sparked a devastating fire inside their house. Jerri Bosley and her family were hanging out at home when the unthinkable happened – a small fire quickly spread throughout the place and developed into a massive house fire. She was left trapped inside and forced to wait for help to arrive while her children fended for themselves. While that’s a nightmare in its own right, for it to have been caused by a Lasenteur candle that her daughter had seen on TikTok is the problem that Bosley wants others to be aware of. A family was trapped inside their burning home after leaving TikTok candle lit unattended The mother and former NHS employee described the harrowing situation and how it escalated in a matter of minutes. She was upstairs when the family’s cleaner came to alert her of the fire, which they quickly deduced was coming from her daughter Teegan’s bedroom. According to Daily Mail, she was certain that the 17-year-old girl was out in the garden, but her son TJ was still upstairs in his bedroom unaware of what was developing elsewhere in their home. “I turned around and was met with a thick black cloud of smoke, it was terrifying, I was trying to shout for my son over the loud crackling and exploding of windows throughout the house,” she said. It was at this point she called for help and was forced to wait for rescue via firefighter brigade. Shockingly, Teegan had already leaped into action and saved her brother before the paramedics had even arrived. “Thankfully my daughter has climbed up onto the extension which is below his room window and helped him escape, if they had literally been a minute later the skylight on the extension would’ve exploded and there would’ve been no chance at getting him out.” Bosley described TJ as looking “like Oliver Twist” in the aftermath and she believes he may have developed a chest infection from inhaling the soot, but otherwise, the family is in okay condition. Still, the concerned mom has a very particular message for anyone thinking about buying the “I know these particular types of candles are a current trend and very popular on TikTok, so this is why I am trying to raise awareness of the dangers of them…myself and my children were so very lucky to escape with our lives, but I fear the next person this happens to will not be so lucky. If you own these candles please throw them away!

  • Viral TikTok brings Marge Simpson’s wig to life in “iconic” Halloween costume – Dexerto

    Viral TikTok brings Marge Simpson’s wig to life in “iconic” Halloween costume Twitter, @thexmixtape / FoxA Marge Simpson Halloween costume posted to TikTok and Twitter is going viral as people obsess over Kadejah ‘topfiveclothing’ Baylor’s gravity-defying, picture-perfect wig. Marge Simpson can’t be the easiest cartoon character to create for Halloween. But Kadejah Baylor, a fashion designer and content creator, was apparently ready to take on the challenge of blue hair that goes as high as the eye can see. Posting her Marge costume to TikTok and Twitter, Baylor has received millions of views and over 100,000 likes — as well as countless replies and questions. The questions most prominently asked surround how she was able to hold the wig up. And, in response, Baylor responded that it’s built on her “will to get this content.” And, it cannot be stressed enough, this is most certainly some serious content. Viral TikTok’s Marge Simpson costume goes viral for limitless wig https://twitter.com/Thexmixtape/status/1453072700558114816 Baylor captioned her video quite casually on Twitter: “Wig by me.” But it’s easy to see why that was the focus of attention, as the wig — a massive, blue centerpiece — defies all laws of physics by standing tall. In a separate video, she actually broke down how to create the wig (which should satisfy some who were wondering about the laws of physics). Still, it remains unclear if anyone will actually dare to try it out themselves. A Telfar purchase is an investment in an immigrant entrepreneur, visionary, and creative. BUY IT! treat yourself— Areli E. Hernandez 💜 (@Areli_RLE) October 27, 2021 Baylor’s choice of sound for the video has also been admired. It’s an exchange between Marge and Lisa Simpson about deciding to buy something or not, while Baylor lip syncs and holds up a Telfar bag. In one response, someone keyed in on that interaction — noting that supporting Telfar “is an investment in an immigrant entrepreneur, visionary, and creative.” While it’s nice to see someone appreciate Baylor’s creative direction and prop usage, the majority of replies are centered on the hair. With words like “iconic” and “amazing,” people seem delighted to see Marge’s trademark tower of blue recreated in full glory.

  • Arby’s manager freaks out at customer demanding refund in viral TikTok – Dexerto

    Arby’s manager freaks out at customer demanding refund in viral TikTok Arby’sA TikTok user in Hudson, Ohio recorded an Arby’s manager yelling at a patron over their full refund request. Restaurant and retail managers going viral on TikTok is nothing new. It’s possible that ‘angry manager’ TikTok videos count among the platform’s most popular content. Such posts probably won’t cease to exist anytime soon either. After all, arguments between service workers and customers have become unfortunately commonplace. And there’s typically someone on standby with a phone, ready to record the events in real-time. The latest of such happenings took place at an Arby’s in Ohio, one whose manager has received quite a bit of heat from TikTokers. Arby’s manager goes viral on TikTok for arguing with a customer A TikToker visiting an Arby’s in Ohio captured footage of a disagreement between the establishment’s manager and a customer. The latter claims they ordered a Number 1 for $9.49, but the cashier mistakenly gave them just $6.00. Tension escalates from there when the patron yells out “f–k you” to the manager, who responds by telling the man he has a “serious problem.” The two throw more expletives back and forth at one another before the manager threatens to call the police – a move the customer encourages. Though it appears the cashier fully refunds the disgruntled patron towards the end, how the matter got resolved is anyone’s guess since the TikTok-using bystander has yet to share an update. There also exists no word on how the situation grew so tense before the recording began. Notably, the TikTok clip starts with the Arby’s manager snatching an empty cup from the counter. For some people in the clip’s comments, this behavior alone “would have set [them] off, too.” Others argued the manager “escalated the whole situation,” while the cashier behind the counter remained professional throughout. Similar to the viral video of a McDonald’s worker quitting mid-shift, this is one TikTok that will undoubtedly continue to make the rounds online.

  • Viral Tigard High School TikTok video sees mass student walkout over racism – Dexerto

    Viral Tigard High School TikTok video sees mass student walkout over racism YouTube: KGW NewsA TikTok from a student at Oregon’s Tigard High School, laden with racist slurs, has caused a huge reaction from classmates, who are now staging walkouts and protests. Hundreds of Tigard High School students walked out of their classrooms on Wednesday, December 2, after watching a video of a classmate using multiple racist slurs. The video sees a female student repeating racist terms for black people, Asians, Muslims, and Latinos, laughing about it on camera. Before long, the video had been seen by much of her classmates at the school in Oregon, initiating a shockwave of events with students making sure she doesn’t get away with it. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load “I didn’t believe it, I was like, ‘No way,’” said Sean Sorko-Ram, 17, a senior at Tigard, speaking to NBC News. “You hear someone say the N-word, you hear things here and there, but all of them together in one video. … The best word I can use is flabbergasted.” Sorko-Ram also said it was hard to be too surprised, adding that she is “desensitized” to language like that, with fellow classmates having called her an “ape” and using the N-word during her earliest years at the school. High school and district officials told NBC that they couldn’t comment on whether the student is still on campus, but noted that a range of punishments are explored in these situations — though expulsion is usually not one of them. “What students are reporting are from their personal experience,” Principal Brian Bailey said. “If we are hearing more reports of these situations it could represent an uptick in hate speech. It may also be influenced by our collective and continued work to encourage students to speak out and report these incidents.”

  • Viral TikTok accuses Dolan twins of bullying at high school – Dexerto

    Viral TikTok accuses Dolan twins of bullying at high school Instagram: Ethan DolanThe Dolan twins were bullies at high school and had “humongous superiority complexes” according to a TikTok that has gone viral. Grayson and Ethan Dolan are YouTube and internet sensations who rose to fame during the era of Vine in 2013 when they were 13 years old. On YouTube, the twins have more than 11 million subscribers. A TikTokker called Justin English (@guacamolethong) posted on Thursday night responding to a video allegedly showing the twins being bullied themselves at school. The creator said: “It’s funny because I went to school with them and no one bullied them. If anything they bullied other people. They had humongous superiority complexes just because of Vine, and quite frankly they were the rudest people in the school.” In less than 8 hours since posting, the video has had almost 500,000 views. It created a massive debate with more than 2,600 comments. In a follow-up video, Justin responded to a comment from a user who asked him why he was trying to “cancel” the twins when they’re “unproblematic.” He explained: “I don’t think you understand the difference between holding someone accountable for their actions and canceling them.” He added that his intentions were not to cancel them but to call them out on their past actions and show that they haven’t been truthful with their fans. The twins themselves have spoken out about being cyberbullied about their appearance. Just last month Ethan Dolan released a short documentary detailing how comments online about his acne had severely affected his well-being and self-confidence. Ethan and Grayson were also recently forced to address their use of a homophobic slur in an old video that resurfaced in June. They explained that the clip was taken out of context and that the slur they used was an example of what they’d been called in high school, where they claimed they were “severely bullied.” Ethan said: “We were severely bullied in high school, I’m gonna be honest..we were trying to tell our story about how we were being treated in the most accurate way possible. And by doing that, we used a word that had been used against us a lot.” The Dolan twins have not responded to the viral TikTok, at the time of writing.

  • Viral “Super Straight” TikTok trend slammed for spreading transphobia on app – Dexerto

    Viral “Super Straight” TikTok trend slammed for spreading transphobia on app TikTok: kyleroyceTikTok and Twitter users are calling out a transphobic TikTok trend in which people label themselves as “Super Straight,” with the trend gaining traction on various different social media platforms. Video-sharing app TikTok has become one of the most popular social media apps, with users flocking to the platform to upload and few the short-form video content that is often the source of huge internet trends that can make their way of TikTok and onto other platforms. With the app’s clever algorithm, people are constantly recommended new things on their ‘For You’ page. This means that once a trend begins, it can blow-up very quickly. This was the case for the “Super Straight” trend. It was originally started by TikTok user Kyle Royce, who made a now-deleted video informing viewers that he had “made a new sexuality.” He explained, “now, I’m super straight. I only date the opposite gender, women, that are born women. So you can’t say I’m transphobic now because that’s just my sexuality.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8vQhkPnEE4 The video started to pick up traction on both TikTok and other social media sites like Twitter, with some supporting the ‘new sexuality’ and making a black and orange flag for it. Read More: TikTok terms explained: FYP, POV, PFP – However, as the term blew up many TikTok users called out the original video and those calling themselves “Super Straight” for being transphobic. Many called it a “mockery of the LGBTQ+ community” and explained that the term only serves to “invalidate trans people.” Make this make sense??? there is so much wrong with this- just say you’re transphobic and leave…and don’t make up terms like “superphobic” and say you go through more??? also- definitely NOT a part of the LGBTQ+ community#superstraight is absolute bullshit pic.twitter.com/alq7uvTDzp— misty (@misteevious) March 6, 2021 Some have also suggested that the trend was intentionally fuelled by forum sites that pushed the “Super Straight” trend after the original video was posted in order to cause offense online. Countless people have expressed their discomfort with how widespread this trend has become, as it is generating a significant amount of hate. It’s unclear if TikTok has anything in place to prevent the spread of the trend, but for the time being the term “Super Straight” is continuing to gain traction on social media.

  • Viral Taylor Swift lookalike is making TikTok do a double-take – Dexerto

    Viral Taylor Swift lookalike is making TikTok do a double-take Instagram: traumarn_13A Nashville-based nurse is going viral across TikTok for being the spitting image of country-turned-pop music sensation Taylor Swift — and it’s throwing the entire internet for a loop. We’ve already taken a deep-dive into TikTok’s shocking Scarlett Johansson lookalike. Now, it’s time to take a look at another celebrity dead-ringer, this time for music artist Taylor Swift. A registered trauma nurse in Nashville, Tennessee (coincidentally, the home of Taylor Swift), is taking the internet by storm due to her uncanny resemblance to the ‘Bad Blood’ singer. While plenty of the TikToker’s videos boast hundreds of thousands of views each, Ashley’s (username traumarn13) popularity skyrocketed on the app after viewers caught wind of her “old school” laundry routine, which she showed off on July 7. However, it wasn’t her lack of a washer or dryer that caught their eye; instead, it was her shocking resemblance to Taylor Swift, which has since garnered the nurse over 129,000 followers and 2.7 million likes on the platform. Unfortunately, Ashley’s sudden popularity also apparently had fans thinking that Taylor Swift actually did her laundry in the bathtub — a hilarious rumor that the TikToker debunked in a video urging viewers to take a peek at her username. That’s not all; even Ashley’s own daughter has apparently mistaken Taylor Swift for her mother after watching Netflix’s Miss Americana. Ashley isn’t TikTok’s only recent celebrity lookalike, by far; recently, the platform went crazy over creator ‘Kate Johansson,’ who has similarly taken the platform by storm for her uncanny resemblance to Scarlett Johansson, going viral with her cosplays of Black Widow and other characters played by the actress. This makes us wonder how many celebrity lookalikes are actually out there who have yet to be discovered.

  • Viral Squid Game Christmas light show takes TikTok by storm – Dexerto

    Viral Squid Game Christmas light show takes TikTok by storm Netflix / TikTok / Unsplash.com: Juliana MaltaA Christmas light hobbyist is taking TikTok by storm by integrating Netflix’s #1 show, Squid Game, with an interactive game of Red Light Green Light ahead of the holidays. It’s only November, but self-described “pyrotechnic and lighting enthusiast” ‘Justinthelightguy’ is already going viral on TikTok for sharing the spirit of the holidays in a seriously unique way. Justin’s TikTok account is completely dedicated to his impressive, over-the-top light shows that he puts on for Christmas and New Year’s. These videos have earned him an impressive following of 1.2 million fans, and several of his videos have gone viral on the platform. His latest creation takes inspiration from Netflix’s hit show ‘Squid Game,’ a Korean thriller that pits desperate debtors against one another in a series of deadly children’s games for a hefty cash prize. Squid Game Christmas light show goes viral on TikTok One of the more notable life-or-death games in the series is Red Light, Green Light. In a burst of creative genius, Justinthelight guy rigged his Christmas lights up to video and audio from this particular part of the show. A large screen shows Squid Game’s terrifying robotic doll turning back and forth while audio blares from the speakers, indicating for players to stop or go at cues of “Red Light” or “Green Light.” The lights strung up around the house also turn red or green depending on the cue, and there are even a few Triangle guards standing watch in case anyone moves a muscle. The video, uploaded to TikTok on October 20, is making the rounds on viewers’ For You Pages, and has garnered an impressive 23 million views at the time of writing (although we’re not certain how the neighbors feel about this display). Known as the ‘TikTok House,’ Justin’s holiday light show is certainly impressive, leaving fans wondering what he’s got up his sleeve as the season goes on.

  • Viral Subway TikTok is a must-watch for fans of The Office – Dexerto

    Viral Subway TikTok is a must-watch for fans of The Office TikTok/kindlykeds/The OfficeA viral TikTok video making the rounds online transforms working at Subway into a cold open from the hit NBC series The Office. In the video, uploaded by kindlykeds, the cameraman pretends to not be able to speak English while approaching the cash at a Subway restaurant. The blonde-haired cashier then calls out “Keddy!” and ensures the customer that she would be able to help because she speaks Spanish. Immediately thereafter, the camera cuts to a mockumentary-style interview segment, made famous by The Office. In the show, this is normally where a character would deliver some sort of sarcastic comment or describe how they are treated in the workplace. “I’m from the Philipines,” Keddy states, capturing the lighthearted race-based comedy from the series. “It’s in Asia. I’m not Hispanic. But they act like I speak Spanish.” For a TikTok, the editing is well done, transitioning the dialogue in the interview into the next scene – a motif from the NBC show. Soon thereafter, the scene changes to outside of the Subway while iconic Office theme plays and introduces the cast of characters. If that wasn’t already amusing enough, kindlykeds also uploaded a second “episode” in a similar style. In this “cold-open,” there is a snowstorm and Walmart has run out of bread, so people are calling Subway just for bread. “They want sixty-three foot longs with no meat, cheese or veggies,” an employee says after getting a phone call from a customer. The camera then pans to Keddy who just looks on in disbelief. Overall, the two videos do a good job at recreating the tone, humor and style made famous by The Office. It’s easy to see why they’ve been viewed over one million times. With so much skill, if the series ever gets rebooted, Keddy may be a perfect candidate to direct an episode. Hopefully, her Subway series continues well into the future with more episodes to watch.

  • Viral social media group ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ incites fake protest in LA – Dexerto

    Viral social media group ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ incites fake protest in LA Image courtesy: Tyler SandersViral social media group ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ has been preaching the theory that birds are “government surveillance drones” over the past few years, and have now conducted a fake protest in Los Angeles, California. Social media hoax group Birds Aren’t Real has amassed over 800,000 followers on TikTok with an added 390,000 fans on Instagram, jokingly spreading the idea that birds are spies for the government. According to the organization’s founder Peter McIndoe, 23, “Birds Aren’t Real” first started as a prank in Memphis, Tennessee. McIndoe had the idea to join a small assembly of protesters and counter-protesters with an unrelated and ridiculous sign, planting the seed for his parody movement. The movement has since traveled across the United States cashing in on merchandise and setting up live rallies. Now, it’s reached LA with its latest “protest.” ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ fake protest in LA On March 20, 2022, “Birds Aren’t Real” organized a fake protest in Los Angeles, California, at the CNN offices in Hollywood, attracting over 150 of the organization’s followers. “I know the truth, do you know the truth?” McIndoe asked his followers, “We have been censored by the media for as long as I can remember,” the 23-year-old proclaimed. Followers of the parody movement dawned signs reading “learned the truth and got rid of my pet bird,” “If it has a beak don’t let it speak,” along with many other well-witted slogans. The protest became rowdier as fans began to impede traffic and overpopulate sidewalks, with multiple individuals nearly getting run over and honked at by passing traffic. At 5:50 pm PST the crowd began to march around CNN’s Los Angeles bureau, chanting that birds weren’t real – satirically blaming the media for not “telling us the truth” about birds. That’s what you get for working with the bad guys. https://t.co/RaLhbWh5Jk — Cam (@cameron_kasky) March 21, 2022 After almost 30-minutes of protesting and chanting slogans like “if it flies it spies,” McIndoe thanked everyone for coming out, and told his followers that the movement was becoming stronger than ever. Do fans really think birds are real? Julia Roberts, 19, was a protester at the rally along with her friends, and told Dexerto, “We are just here to have fun, of course, we don’t think birds are real, it’s just like a fun way for the community to get together and do something fun, you know?” TikTok star Daniel Mac, who currently has over 12-million TikTok followers, was approached by a fan asking “What do you do for a living?” to which the star responded with “I’m a bird trooper.” View this post on Instagram While it isn’t quite clear how much longer McIndoe will be able to “convince” his fans that “Birds Aren’t Real,” he is clearly riding out this joke as long as he can.

    Viral shouting match has the internet divided over who should pay $4600 bill TikTok: viccgottiA birthday meal that went horribly wrong when the bill arrived has left the internet divided over who should pay the massive $4600 bill. TikToker viccgotti uploaded a series of videos from a birthday dinner he attended with childhood friends, where they went to a fancy restaurant to celebrate. However, a fight broke out when the bill arrived, revealing that several members of the group had ordered significantly more than the rest, meaning that the bill totalled 4600 dollars. Viral TikToker reveals he lost childhood friends over $4600 bill In the video, which circulated widely on TikTok and Twitter, the birthday girl can be seen asking the rest of the table to split the bill equally, saying: “It’s my f*cking birthday, why the f*ck should I have to pay for something on my birthday?” However, the person filming and another guest pointed out that most of the bill had been ordered by just a couple of people, and they shouldn’t have to pay more because others ate more expensive food. “Why would I pay for something I didn’t buy? I’m not splitting the bill. You got lamb chops, you got steak, look at how much you got!” In a follow-up video, the uploader said that he had lost friends over the argument, despite knowing them since the third grade. “They said that they didn’t want to mess with us, and this has been my friend since like third grade. I’m like ‘you seriously don’t want to be my friend no more?’” He defended his choice to upload the videos despite the negative impact it had on the birthday girl, saying: “Hey, those are your actions. That is what you did. For more news and updates on viral TikToks, check out the viral “grinder salad” sandwich trend that’s doing the rounds.

  • Viral smiling dog looks just like Seth Rogen and he’s a massive fan – Dexerto

    Viral smiling dog looks just like Seth Rogen and he’s a massive fan Seth Rogen has reacted to an inundation of tweets saying that a smiling dog gone viral looks exactly like him – and he loves it. Rogen is a comedian and actor that has featured in some of the most popular comedy films of modern times. He has played leading roles in films such as Knocked up, This Is the End and The Interview, working with the likes of James Franco and Jonah Hill to name but a few. With any major star, social media is an incredibly important tool – for better or for worse – but Rogen isn’t a regular poster online. However, when he does, it’s always a success, and now he’s gone viral after reacting to a photo of a dog that everyone has been telling him he looks like. In a tweet posted on January 9, Rogen quote tweeted a photo of the dog – smiling, and looking distinctly wholesome – addressing the “dozens” of people who tagged him in the tweet. However, while some people might be offended at the suggestion that they literally look like a dog, Rogen seemed particularly pleased with himself. He said: “I’ve been tagged by dozens of people saying I look like this dog and I couldn’t be more flattered.” I’ve been tagged by dozens of people saying I look like this dog and I couldn’t be more flattered. https://t.co/x0y3fFmeMd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) January 9, 2020 You can see why some people may consider there to be a resemblance between the two, particularly around the eyebrows and with their matching bushy hair, though we’d hesitate to call them complete doppelgangers. Barely 12 hours later, Rogen had already received over 52,000 retweets and nearly 500k likes on the tweet, with fans absolutely loving the comparison between the two. One user even went so far as to create a short video of the scaling evolution from smiling dog to Seth Rogen, and it definitely makes it more clear what exactly people are seeing. Rogen is just one of many people to have been told he looks like a random animal here and there, but the way he embraces it is both hilarious and heartwarming. Who knows, maybe we’ll see Rogen’s lookalike appearing on the big screen in the near future: after all, stranger things have happened.

  • Viral Sadie Sink lookalike is blowing away Stranger Things fans on TikTok – Dexerto

    Viral Sadie Sink lookalike is blowing away Stranger Things fans on TikTok Netflix / Instagram: julietsiegelA Sadie Sink lookalike is taking over TikTok as ‘Stranger Things’ fans can’t believe the viral doppelganger isn’t actually a clone from the Upside Down. Stranger Things Season 4 is officially in the books, and a few of the show’s core cast members are getting praise from fans for their jaw-dropping storylines and knockout acting skills. Alongside names like Jamie Campbell Bower and Millie Bobbie Brown, Sadie Sink — known for playing skateboarding ‘zoomer’ Max Mayfield — is also receiving a major amount of shine for how she portrayed her grieving character throughout this most recent season. But that’s not what’s throwing the internet for a loop right now. Instead, TikTok users are going gaga over Sink’s apparent doppelganger, who got invited to the live Stranger Things Experience and decided to do a little cosplay to celebrate. TikTok user Juliet Siegel is turning heads for how close she resembles Sadie as seen in Stranger Things Season 3. Wearing a striped t-shirt and drawstring denim shorts, she’s got Sadie’s look down pat — but her long red hair and freckles also totally steal the show. Click here if TikTok fails to load. She also pulled off Max’s new look in Season 4, donning a walkman and a blue jacket (and, of course, rocking out to Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’). Needless to say, viewers are stunned by how closely Juliet resembles Sadie Sink, and they’re not shy about letting her know that they were almost completely fooled by her jaw-dropping cosplay. “I THOUGHT YOU WERE SADIE HELP,” one user wrote. “Are you and Sadie Sink twins?” another asked. “I literally thought you were her at first,” yet another said over on Instagram. This isn’t the first time a major celebrity lookalike has taken TikTok by storm; who could forget the viral Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson doppelgangers who shocked the internet with how much they looked like Harley Quinn and Black Widow? Although Sadie Sink hasn’t reacted to her own doppelganger, it’s clear that this Stranger Things fan is Running Up the Hill of internet fame thanks to her serendipitous genes.

  • Viral Robert Pattinson deepfake is taking over TikTok – Dexerto

    Viral Robert Pattinson deepfake is taking over TikTok TikTok: iam_pattinsonAn account featuring what appears to be a Robert Pattinson deepfake is going viral on TikTok, garnering millions of views thanks to just how convincing it is. There have been a fair few celebrity impersonation accounts that have gone viral on TikTok in the past, with the platform even mistakenly verifying some of them because their accounts were so convincing. But some people take their impersonations to the next level with ‘deepfakes’ which are a form of synthetic media in which a person in a video is replaced with someone else’s likeness. Parody account ‘deeptomcruise’ is one example, who’s garnered over 3 million followers thanks to his uncanny recreation of actor Tom Cruise. The latest account to go viral is ‘iam_pattinson,’ which includes several videos of a figure resembling actor Robert Pattinson, who is currently best known for his portrayal of Batman. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load In his first video, which now has over 20 million views, the impersonator leans into the camera and gives a little wave, with the caption reading, “hi there!” Although the figure bears an uncanny resemblance to Pattinson, viewers immediately smelled a rat. “I know my man’s hair and that’s not it,” one comment with nearly 160,000 likes read. “That’s Pobert Rattinson,” said another. While some were convinced that the account could actually be the real deal, others are becoming increasingly confident that he’s a deepfake as he uploads more viral videos to the app. “It’s 100% a deepfake but I love it all the same,” said one comment with over 40,000 likes, another saying, “Guys cmon it ain’t real, it’s a deepfake. Look at the hair that ain’t his hair.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load ‘Iam_pattinson’ has gained over 5 million likes since starting his account, and now has over 650,000 followers. Although many were impressed by the similarity to the actual actor, several commenters agreed with the sentiment that “it’s honestly terrifying that people can do this with CGI.” In 2020, a report from University College London claimed that deepfakes are the most dangerous use of artificial intelligence in terms of potential applications for crime. It looks like the Robert Pattinson deepfake is only set to garner more attention as it continues to go viral on TikTok, but with the rise of deepfakes on the app, people may be second-guessing whether a video of their favorite celeb is really them at all.

  • Viral romantic AI companion brutally roasted online: “The future sucks” – Dexerto

    Viral romantic AI companion brutally roasted online: “The future sucks” X: andyohlbaumA new AI chatbot described as “the future of AI Romantic Companionship” has been slammed online by internet users unimpressed by this latest use of technology. Chatbots have been increasing in numbers, with more and more AI companions appearing across the net. From popular streamers launching their own bots to social media platforms like Snapchat getting in on this latest craze, AI is slowly spreading its reach. The latest is Digi, described as “a romantic AI companion chatbot developer that centers quality, user safety, and a premium experience.” “Designed and fine-tuned for each specific user,” Digi claims to be “a leap into the future of romantic companionship.” However, not everyone is impressed. Announcing v(1.0) of Digi on X (formerly Twitter), a thread listing the AI’s features included; “a unique style that eliminates the uncanny valley,” customizable features, and a progression system. But, despite the post claiming that Digi had the potential to “truly lead the way forward in AI [and] animation,” replies were quickly overrun by users roasting the AI chatbot. Compared to an episode of Black Mirror, users have claimed that the notion of a romantic AI companion is immoral as it relies on targeting “the most vulnerable” while prioritizing profit over a “net societal good”. “Nothing like [a] completely fake relationship that has no bearing in reality to brighten one’s day,” one person wrote. Another pleaded, “Like, I’m not being funny, political, or religious with this, but please stop. Humanity does not need this.” “It’s alarming how our society is moving backward instead of forward,” someone else said. “This is a clear example of how technology doesn’t always equal progress.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

  • Viral professional fishing video exposes Ohio fishermen caught in cheating scandal – Dexerto

    Viral professional fishing video exposes Ohio fishermen caught in cheating scandal Professional fisherman and multi-tournament winner Jake Runyan found himself at the center of controversy after a viral video exposed him for stuffing his fish with lead weights and other filets. On October 1, Barstool Sports writer Billy Football shared a viral video on Twitter of professional fisherman Jake Runyan. While at first the chaotic nature of the video may seem hard to understand, it’s quickly revealed that Runyan – and his non-present partner Chase Cominskey – were involved in a cheating scandal. Members of the crowd can be heard yelling, urging someone else to “call the cops” as an official at the event begins cutting open each of the team’s fish. Catch after catch, the official pulls out one or two lead weights from inside the fish, as well as filets cut from smaller fish. Weights and filets were found inside all five of Runyan and Cominsky’s catches, and several spectators took photos and filmed the scandal from start to finish. Jake Runyan, Chase Cominsky caught in fishing cheating scandal after viral video Cominsky did not appear in the video as he had seemingly left the competition before the angry mob of competitors and spectators formed, leaving Runyan to take the brunt of the backlash. One man off camera could be heard shouting claims that Runyan had been cheating for years, and that he had finally been caught. Runyan was questioned on the spot, “How many f**king tournaments have you done this?” In December of 2021, the Cleveland, Ohio native and his partner Chase Cominsky won both the Blaster Walleye Fall Brawl and the Walleye Slam earning the Lake Erie Walleye Trail Championship. These unprecedented victories also came with $306,000, according to Runyan. However, these incredible wins are now under scrutiny as the duo was caught in one of the largest fishing scandals in recent history.

  • Viral ‘Pikachu dog’ resurfaces at NBA games despite owner’s fine – Dexerto

    Viral ‘Pikachu dog’ resurfaces at NBA games despite owner’s fine Twitter: Bleacher ReportThe viral Pikachu dog has made its return to NBA games and it is now photobombing cameras despite its owner being fined for the transformation. At one point or another, we’ve all wished that we could have a real-life Pokemon to accompany us in our day-to-day lives. Sure, the powers and moves would cause chaos, but it’d be pretty fun to have. Some Pokemon fans have taken things up a notch and turned their imagination into reality somewhat, by creating their own Pokemon through different avenues. Most recently, one dog owner went super viral for dying their dog exactly like Pikachu and taking them courtside at a Miami Heat vs Minnesota Timberwolves game. Now, the dog is back, and it’s as impressive as ever. Pikachu dog resurfaces at Chicago Bulls games That’s right, the viral Pikachu dog made its return to the NBA scene on January 8 when it was spotted at the Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz game. Once again, the dog was put on camera for everyone to see, but this time it was the owner who pushed it into the spotlight rather than confused commentators. The dog was held up in front of one of the courtside cameras as the Jazz shot some free throws. “Oh, I thought it was a stuffed animal at first,” said one of the commentators. “That’s a cute little dog, though. Look at it!” The clip has been viewed a few million times already, as plenty of fans are impressed that the dog is still dyed exactly like Pikachu. Well, it is missing his signature ears and lightning strikes but we can let that pass. There have been some concerns about the dye used to color the dog, especially as doing so is even illegal in some states – including Florida. The owner of the dog, Erik Torres, was recently cited $200 for dying the dog yellow but said he has no plans to change given he owns the dog and will appeal the citation.

  • Viral plane argument breaks out after passenger puts her seat back – Dexerto

    Viral plane argument breaks out after passenger puts her seat back TikTok: @grahamnancarrowTwo passengers had a heated argument about whether or not a woman could put her airplane seat back in a viral moment. Airplanes have been the scenery for many viral altercations in recent years, as the close-set environment and raised tensions spark arguments between people. Unfortunately for those involved, not many of these altercations have been positive, like when one influencer proceeded to have a meltdown and fight other passengers, or the viral scene where a woman claimed another passenger was “not real” (who also recently revealed what she actually saw on the flight.) Despite this, not all altercations have been troublesome, and some have been more light-hearted, like when people were amazed by a man who unsheathed his bare feet, revealing six toes on a single foot in a viral flight takeoff video. Airplane companies are notorious for upsetting customers with cust-cutting strategies, like double booking flights — but two passengers argued over whether there was sufficient room in the plane’s seating arrangements for a seat to be put back. Woman fumes at the passengers sat behind her One TikToker recorded the incident from their seat a few rows back as the two passengers debated the ethics of putting your seat back during a flight: “I’m allowed to put my seat back!” The woman let her frustration be known as she complained about the passengers behind her not allowing her to recline her plane seat: “The whole trip she pushed my seat!” The person who appeared to be arguing with her had their hands raised, and was defending themselves inaudibly as the woman continued to berate them for their flight behavior: “I’m allowed to put my seat back! I’m allowed to put my seat back! I’m allowed to put my seat back!” The viral video sparked arguments online beyond the IRL altercation as people debated whose side they would be on in this situation — even flight employees weighed in on the discussion: “I’m a flight attendant.. and I tell you anyone on the economy can recline their seat,” one employee commented. One lawyer, frustrated with the debate on ethics, decided to step in and give a verdict of what the law states on seat reclining. Still, some people haven’t had time to join the airplane debate, as another viral TikTok video has roused the internet to give their advice on whether a woman should break up with her boyfriend after she found he had an active Hinge account.

Back in July, the internet was obsessed with what Tiffany Gomas had seen – well, at least thought she’d seen – on a flight out of Dallas Fort Worth.

For the longest time afterward, the Dallas native stayed quiet on what unfolded. However, she’s started being a little more open about things and leaned into her now-infamous outburst.

As noted, Gomas has been pretty open about her experience now, revealing that she didn’t actually see anything on the plane.

In the video, the woman — now identified as Tiffany Gomas — claimed that one of her fellow passengers wasn’t real, famously saying: “I am telling you right now, that motherf*cker back there is not real.” Viewers were immediately curious to know exactly what it was that Gomas apparently saw, with some even speculating that she made the entire thing up as a stunt with the aim of going viral. Now, Gomas has officially revealed what she actually saw on her flight after refusing to speak on the subject for months. “Not real” plane woman Tiffany Gomas shares what she saw on viral flight During an episode of the ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast, Gomas opened up on what she supposedly saw during her viral meltdown. But, according to her, she didn’t actually see anything at all. “You know, the reason I probably haven’t come out yet, because it’s like, so cringe — I did not see anything, ” she admitted. “I mean, I think y’all knew that.” Instead, Gomas claimed that her claims of a passenger being “not real” was merely an “expression of speech” at the tail end of an argument. “I got in a bit of an altercation,” she continued. “It spiraled out of control. It was not my best moment. I mean, it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying.” “I was just in my feels. I just needed to get off that [flight.] I was highly distressed. Not a good look. It was not a good situation.” Although Gomas wouldn’t exactly say what she was arguing about with the other passenger, she admitted that it wasn’t her finest moment — something she admitted in her initial response to the drama over the summer. For now, that’s all we know about the incident until Gomas decides to speak about it more. In the meantime, keep it locked to Dexerto for more trending news and content.

  • Viral “not real” plane woman responds to OnlyFans requests and predicts huge earnings – Dexerto

    Viral “not real” plane woman responds to OnlyFans requests and predicts huge earnings YouTube/MacrodosingPodTiffany Gomas, better known as the viral “not real” plane woman has responded to calls for her to join OnlyFans. The internet is still mesmerized by Tiffany Gomas’ surreal meltdown in a July 2023 video where she infamously began yelling about how someone onboard was “not real.” In the time since, she’s gone on to become quite a celebrity, appearing on Barstool Sports and even celebrating Halloween by holding a contest where people dressed up as her. With so many eyes on her, Gomas has received some requests to start an OnlyFans account with the viral woman convinced that she would earn a fortune if she decided to actually make adult content. “Not real” plane woman rules out OnlyFans During an appearance on the Macrodosing Podcast, Gomas revealed she hasn’t earned a cent from her newfound fame, but she’s received requests to be on Playboy and OnlyFans. “Trust me, there are times where you’re like in your deep moments. You’re like, ‘damn, should I do that?’ But it just really doesn’t fit who I am as a person,” she explained. Sadly, for those who felt like she would jump at the opportunity, Gomas has no interest on joining the adult platform, even though she has no doubts that it would be successful. “I’m not knocking it whatsoever. It’s just not really up my alley. I actually do have a good career,” she added. “Trust me, I can make a hell of a lot more money on OnlyFans though.” According to Gomas, if she did join OnlyFans, she’d make enough money to retire as early as next year, but despite the tempting offer, it doesn’t seem like she’s willing to make that leap anytime soon. Gomas is hardly the only influencer to turn down an OnlyFans offer. Notably, Twitch streamer Pokimane has repeatedly said she won’t join OF despite viewers constantly asking her to make one.

The bizarre joke spawned several memes, and Tom Holland even ended up responding to it in a video with Esquire, saying: “This actually really stressed me out, and then I saw it was Nicki Minaj. And then I realized I’ve never met Nicki Minaj.” Topic starts at 1:51 Now, after Tom Holland and Zendaya were spotted kissing in a car, the meme has been brought back to life, and it’s made a huge resurgence on both Twitter and TikTok. Some users have made news-style tweets about a ‘break-up’ between Nicki and Tom, inspired by some of the very firsts posts to go viral relating to the meme back in 2019. https://twitter.com/j0kersh0e/status/1411049840629387272 Others over on TikTok shared some of the greatest picture edits from the fake ‘timeline’ of their relationship.

  • Viral “not real” person on plane identified after woman’s freak-out – Dexerto

    Viral “not real” person on plane identified after woman’s freak-out TikTok/Twitter: Dom_LucreThe ‘not real’ person that caused a woman to freak out before her flight and go wildly viral has now been identified after a new video has surfaced. In the last few months, TikTok has been awash with videos of strange moments happening on planes. We’ve seen people freaking out at babies, marriage proposals being conducted, and a few fair fights as well. Though, the most recent one to go viral was arguably the strangest yet. The clip, which was originally posted by knuckelslawncare, showed a woman freaking out as she believed she’d someone who wasn’t “real” sitting by her. “You can sit on this plane and die with him or not, I’m not going to,” she said as she stormed off. The clip has gone wildly viral across both TikTok and Twitter, with people trying to figure out what caused her freak. Did she see an alien? Was she hallucinating? Well, a new angle has appeared. Hoodie guy from viral airplane freak-out surfaces at last It surfaced on July 6 after being across social media by Dom_Lucre, and it shows that the woman was concerned about a green man. Though, it was hardly an alien-like ET sat there. The man in question that was sat near her was sitting in a green hoodie – hood up, naturally – as another passenger videoed the cabin crew removing the woman’s luggage after she stormed off. While he doesn’t say anything, nor does the cameraperson try to interact with him, he’s definitely sat there and he’s definitely real. Other accounts from people claiming to be on the flight have popped up, revealing details about how the flight was delayed around three hours and passengers were deplaned. The woman has not appeared anywhere else since, though. People are definitely waiting for her side of things.

  • Viral list claims women “absolutely refuse” first dates at Cheesecake Factory & Denny’s – Dexerto

    Viral list claims women “absolutely refuse” first dates at Cheesecake Factory & Denny’s Wikimedia CommonsIn a viral post shared widely on social media, women are listing some of the places that they “absolutely refuse” to be taken on a first date – sparking some debate. It appears that visiting some of the biggest fast food diners in the US is a deal breaker for some women. The post, originally published by an anonymous Facebook user, thanks “the ladies who reached out to help me on my list”. The list itself consists of 28 possible venues. Most of these pertain to popular fast food restaurants, including Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory, Applebee’s, Chili’s, Red Lobster, Denny’s, and Starbucks. Some on the list, however, are more specific, and mention particular date scenarios, such as “Your house”, “A bar just for drinks”, and “Family functions”. After the list became viral on X/Twitter, it’s also drummed up a series of disgruntled comments by men: “Where tf we supposed to go then, the moon?”, one asked. “Looks like we’re going to Home Depot so she can build a new personality”, another said. “Would have been easier to name the places they would go, list would have been shorter,” a third added. The viral video that started the trend So where did this list come from? This trend is derived from a viral video posted on TikTok, where a woman flat-out refused to leave her car because her date had chosen to take her to the Cheesecake Factory. In the video, she confronts her date, prompting “who takes a woman that looks like this to the cheesecake factory?”. She later states, “when you take out a beautiful woman, you’re supposed to take care of her”. The man responded by saying, “I went into this date with the expectations for myself to keep you safe, to respect you, to pay for your food, of course.” This controversial video left fans divided, with some in favor of her protests, but she mostly met backlash. One user stated, “she would’ve went straight back home with her Applebee’s outfit saying she’s embarrassed to be in the cheesecake factory.”

  • Viral hero saves baby in stroller from rolling into traffic after mom falls – Dexerto

    Viral hero saves baby in stroller from rolling into traffic after mom falls TwitterA man is being celebrated as a hero after a viral video showing him saving a baby from rolling into oncoming traffic surfaced online. It’s not every day you become a hero, but that’s exactly what one man is being hailed as when he saw a mother collapse while trying to stop her baby from rolling into cars in the street. In a video that’s been going viral online, security footage showed a woman outside of her car when a big gust of wind began to carry away her baby, who was strapped inside of a stroller. Despite the mom’s best efforts, she fell down and appeared to injure herself as the stroller continued to make its way toward traffic and speeding cars. Luckily for her, however, a hero emerged in the nick of time. Man saves baby from rolling into traffic in viral video As the mom struggled to get up, a man rushed to the stroller and took control of it just before it could come into contact with cars and began to roll it back to the baby’s mom. Those filming the security footage were amazed at the man’s quick thinking, calling him a “lifesaver” who was in the “right place at the right time.” The mom was clearly very emotional after the nightmarish experience and embraced the hero who comforted her as another man helped her to her feet. Since being uploaded to Twitter by ‘USSGoodGirl,’ the clip has been viewed over four million times. The user, who says she’s based in California, claims she first saw the video on a community Facebook page. “Windy AF here today and the stroller rolled away,” she captioned the clip. Although the identity of the mystery man is unknown, we at Dexerto salute him for his heroic actions. This isn’t the first heroic moment caught on camera recently, either. Last month, a Twitch streamer saved a driver from a burning car after he jumped out of his vehicle with a fire extinguisher.

Olivia ‘Livvy’ Dunne is a student and gymnast at Louisiana State University, who has garnered a massive online following since 2021. Although she’s popped up more frequently in 2023 (partly thanks to the ‘Baby Gronk’ meme), Livvy has become one of the most recognizable collegiate gymnasts out there over the years, building a following of millions across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

After fans crowded her gymnastics meets, she put out a PSA on Twitter, asking attendees to “be respectful.” “I will always appreciate and love the support from you guys, but if you come to a meet, I want to ask you to please be respectful of the other gymnasts and the gymnastics community as we are just doing our job,” she penned.

  • Viral Hawaiian Punch experiment puts viewers off ever drinking it again – Dexerto

    Viral Hawaiian Punch experiment puts viewers off ever drinking it again Food4LessA TikToker dad showed his fans why they should never drink Hawaiian Punch, after revealing the process of actually making it, which certainly put some viewers off. A video released by TikTok user, huntinggeardeals, has made waves on the platform. Fans of the ever-popular Hawaiian Punch were flabbergasted after the dad conducted a simple science experiment, proving the beverage might be harmful. In the video, he warned viewers, “Do NOT drink Hawaiian Punch,” before going on to conduct the experiment, which involved using the contentious beverage, as well as some hard-boiled eggs. The video then cuts to a view of several hard-boiled eggs, each of which have been soaked in various drinks. These include water, Coca-Cola, coffee, chocolate milk, and then finally, Hawaiian Punch. While the eggs soaked in Coca-Cola and coffee were both stained, the egg soaked in Hawaiian Punch was an intense, bright-red color, and clearly dissolved from the acidity. He explained that his kid’s science project prompted him to conduct the experiment, which allowed you to see which beverages might stain your teeth. He was clearly concerned, however, when he found the effects of Hawaiian Punch, questioning, “If this is dissolving an egg, what is it doing inside of your body?” Commenters knew there was something wrong with Hawaiian Punch The video, which has since gained over 5 million views, saw everyone rallying against the beverage. Users say that they always knew something was wrong with Hawaiian Punch. One commented, “I’ve never liked Hawaiian Punch cause no matter how long it’s been in the fridge, it’s never cold.” Another stated, “Nobody ever believed me when I told them that drinks like Hawaiian Punch and Sunny D hurt my throat.” One user even claimed: “When I was younger I spilt Hawaiian punch on my blue shirt and it literally bleached it.” Others began talking about the science behind the egg’s reaction, voicing that “the dye is reacting with the calcium in the shells, and forming insoluble salts. as long as you’re not made of calcium, you’ll be fine.” Others weren’t convinced, however, questioning, “But is that dissolving or is that sugar crystallizing?” Either way, this kid’s science project has got people talking, with many resolved never to drink the beverage again.

  • Viral grocery store confuses everyone by stocking shelves with pictures of food – Dexerto

    Viral grocery store confuses everyone by stocking shelves with pictures of food cosmicwildp/TikTokA shopper documented her bizarre trip to the grocery store where she found an aisle full of empty shelves covered in pictures of food. Sometimes, weird videos seem to make their way to everyone’s FYP on TikTok. From optical illusions that will make you look twice to NPC streamers, the app has seen it all. Adding to the weird and wonderful on the app, a woman named Paige shared a video of her unusual trip to the grocery store which left both her and viewers confused. In the video, which has been viewed over 50,000 times and growing fast, Paige films in the middle of an aisle at the grocery store. She shows viewers that while the shelves look full, the items on display, including Cheez-Its and bottles of apple juice, aren’t actually there. Instead, the unnamed grocery store hung up large printed sheets made to give the appearance of fully stocked grocery store shelves. “Just when you thought grocery shopping couldn’t get any worse,” Paige says in the video. For those who may have also been fooled by the illusion, Paige shows that when she reaches for an item, she can’t physically grab anything since her hand runs into a literal plastic sheet. “I’m so upset by this,” Paige adds. At the end of the video, she shows that the grocery store only added to the confusion by having real items, like boxes of Topo Chico, next to the illusion items. Viewers are just as confused as Paige She captioned the video: “If you want tips on how to hate grocery shopping even more, have them change everything around and then throw in printed photos of food.” Viewers were left just as confused as Paige as they took to the comments to discuss the curiously looking interior of the grocery store. While some commenters speculated that the grocery store was masking a food shortage, Paige replied, letting them know that the reality is that the grocery store is in the process of adding a liquor store and has been moving the grocery store layout around. “Maybe like a placeholder thing while they do a renovation of the aisle,” a commenter clarified. “It’s like when Disneyland tries to hide construction,” another wrote. Several commenters poked fun at the situation. “Perhaps the real groceries were the friends we made along the way,” the top comment read. “The real grocery shopping experience without the hassle of grocery buying,” another person joked.

  • Woman under fire for spitting inside grocery store chip bag in viral video – Dexerto

    Woman under fire for spitting inside grocery store chip bag in viral video RedditA video showing a woman spitting chips back into the bag in a grocery store before resealing it has gone viral online, with people slamming the “disgusting” video. New videos go viral online every single day, and while that’s sometimes because they’re funny or just downright bizarre, sometimes certain clips gain traction because of just how outrageous they are. The latter is definitely the case for a new video that has emerged on Reddit, showing a woman walking around a Kroger’s store in Nashville and tampering with various different products. The nine-minute-long video shows her spitting chips back into the bag and resealing it before placing it back on the shelf. She also opens a bag of toilet paper to wipe her mouth and then puts the roll back, and even takes swigs from bottles before screwing the cap back on. View this post on Instagram In the video, the impression is given that she has left the products behind on the shelf, however according to TooFab, a spokesperson for the Kroger Nashville Division explained: “As soon as we received notification of the video circulating that involved one of our stores in the Nashville division, we began our own internal investigation. “Through the quick action of our team, we were able to verify that the items used for the video were not left behind on the shelf and were purchased by the individuals involved.” The response to the video has been huge, particularly on Reddit where there are hundreds of comments calling her out. One comment described her as “a legitimately disgusting and horrendously selfish person.” However, others caught on to the fact that it was a “prank,” describing it as a “stunt for views.” It’s currently unclear whether any action will be taken against the woman over the incident, with some people revealing they have reported the situation to the Nashville Police Department.

  • Viral “gang brawl” breaks out in parking lot with over twenty people fighting – Dexerto

    Viral “gang brawl” breaks out in parking lot with over twenty people fighting Twitter/TSFights2A massive “gang brawl” is going viral on Twitter after over twenty people partook in an epic parking lot rumble. Fights come in all shapes and sizes. From mini one-on-one skirmishes to gigantic smackdowns featuring armies of combatants, there’s no shortage of content when it comes to fisticuffs. One of the craziest bouts we’ve seen in a long time, however, comes in the form of a parking lot scrap that started off as a simple beef between rivals, but soon escalated into an incredible brawl. The melee has already exploded on Twitter since being posted to Top Street Fights, and it’s easy to see why, considering just how out of control things got once all the spectators decided to throw down. “Gang brawl” featuring over twenty fighters goes viral At first, the fight began with two men squaring off in a fairly entertaining slugfest, with both guys firing away – but when one ended up getting knocked down, all hell broke loose. “One vs one fight turns into all out gang brawl,” the account captioned the video – and for good reason. In a split second, things went from a fairly controlled fight to complete bedlam, with all sorts of mini-scraps breaking out all over the parking lot. The brouhaha kicked off in record time as seemingly everyone in attendance got in on the action. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to even tell which side people were on, as some fights had uneven odds (such as a group of three taking on a duo of two fighters). In any case, the 33-second viral video is one of the most ridiculous brawls we’ve ever seen, which is saying something, considering we just recently witnessed a woman successfully destroy 20 people on her own. It’s not clear why the groups were fighting or what happened after, but hopefully, no one was seriously injured in the altercation.

  • Viral floating broom TikTok has users baffled – Dexerto

    Viral floating broom TikTok has users baffled TikTok: TheOneNamedLucca/TikTokA viral video that shows a broom ‘floating’ in mid-air without any help has captured the attention of TikTokers who aren’t quite sure what to make of it. With Halloween only just coming and going, TikTok has been flooded with videos that attempt to show off incredibly spooky phenomenons designed to terrify others. As a result, TikTokers were obsessed with the legend of the creepy Navajo Skinwalkers, trying to convince others that they’d caught glimpses of them. However, not everything has been that terrifying. In the days following the fright-filled holiday, one TikToker managed to capture a floating broom, which is pretty unexplainable but it’s hardly going to leave viewers with nightmares. Though, it might keep them awake at night trying to figure out what’s happened. TikTok’s floating broom video The post, which has racked up over 4 million views, comes from TikToker TheOneNamedLucca – an Amazon driver who captured the video while out doing deliveries on November 3. In the video, Lucca shows the broom just floating in midair directly in front of his van – almost as if a witch has parked it in place. “It’s just floating, seriously,” he said. “There’s no wires, there’s nothing it’s connected to… What is that? Seriously? And it’s just moving too!” While some users might have thought it was just an optical illusion, and it’s some sort of debris on his van’s windscreen, Lucca shows that’s not the case. He steps outside and gives viewers another angle of the strange phenomenon. Is the floating broom TikTok real? Some viewers quickly suggested that it might have been a drone that had been set up to look like a broom or perhaps there was wire but it was see-through so it blends in with the sky. “I know there is an explanation but IDK what it would be, a drone?” said one. “I thought it was the dirty windshield at first,” added another. The TikToker noted that he wasn’t alone on the trip and could get his co-worker to prove it was “legit” and debunk some of the theories that the video was faked. https://www.tiktok.com/@theonenamedlucca/video/7026821628592016646?referer_url=httpswww.hitc.com&referer_video_id=7026783611265338630&refer=embed&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=7025897142854190597 As of writing, the original continues to rack up views and comments as TikTokers want to get to the bottom of it. Some are hoping for a follow-up from the next time Lucca is on his delivery rounds to see if it’s still and if someone can offer an explanation.

  • Viral Gail Lewis signed Walmart vest sells for $11k in Airrack charity auction – Dexerto

    Viral Gail Lewis signed Walmart vest sells for $11k in Airrack charity auction Instagram: airrackA Walmart vest signed by the internet-famous Gail Lewis has sold for $11,000 in YouTuber Airrack’s viral charity auction after the listing got banned from eBay. Gail Lewis gained international fame in late November after she bid farewell to the Walmart she’d been working at for ten years in a clip that went viral on TikTok. Viewers were left stunned by her dedication to her former job and flooded Lewis with likes and follows, making her an internet star overnight. Prominent YouTuber Airrack, a creator known for his over-the-top projects and challenges, decided to team up with Lewis for a good cause using her viral fame as a launch pad. Signed Gail Lewis Walmart vest sells for $11K In mid-December, Airrack got Lewis to sign a Walmart vest, which he intended to auction off for a charity of Lewis’ choosing: Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. However, his first listing for the vest ended up getting him permanently banned from eBay after it racked up $400K in bids. Acting quickly, the YouTuber sought out another auction house for the vest, and Goldin answered the call. He took the first flight he could find to New Jersey, where the vest was authenticated and put up for auction. On December 20, the vest was officially sold for $11K — $13,420 in total with buyer’s premium. eBay apologizes for removing Gail Lewis $400K vest listing Thus far, neither Airrack nor Lewis have yet to make a statement about the final bid, but eBay has issued an apology to the YouTuber for removing his $400K listing from their platform. “We were able to connect with Airrack who listed Ms. Lewis’ vest and clear up the issues that caused the vest to be flagged,” they wrote in a post on Instagram. “We had a constructive conversation and agreed to help Airrack with any future eBay or charity listings.” This is just the latest installment in Airrack’s journey to upload every single day until the New Year, with the condition that if he fails, fellow YouTube star MrBeast gets to permanently delete his channel.

  • Viral experimental artist sparks debate among TikTok users: “So bad that it’s good” – Dexerto

    Viral experimental artist sparks debate among TikTok users: “So bad that it’s good” TikTok: lewisrossignolUsers on TikTok are confused if an experimental artist going viral on the platform is really talented –or if he is just scribbling, dividing them online. Lewis Rossignol, posted a TikTok on March 15, which saw the artist draw a close-up of a car, along with wobbly lines and some crayon colors. A popular comment under the video had a user stating how the artist’s work is the epitome of “trust the process” which initially looks like scribbling but turns out “poetic somehow”. The TikTok garnered more than 5 million views and 1,600 comments where some users saw the beauty in his end work, while others were simply not impressed by it. TikTok users debate if Lewis is talented or not Some suggested that the TikToker drew it with his weaker hand as a user stated that the art was so bad that it made them want to throw up while another compared the work with that of a child. The experimental artist had, however, not responded to the negative comments as he continues posting videos on the platform. He has eventually found defenders of his work where one commented, “I have never seen anything so bad yet so good that I like it, it’s like being a professional child.” Rossignol included the comment in his follow-up video and later on addressed the negativity. In a TikTok post on July 11, the experimental artist captioned his video as a response to people insulting him. He captioned the video saying trolls keep telling him he draws like a three-year-old, “as if I’m supposed to take it as an insult”. Even though his work receives criticism, the experimental artist keeps gaining views and followers.

  • Viral crowd brawl at Jake Paul fight was more entertaining than the actual event – Dexerto

    Viral crowd brawl at Jake Paul fight was more entertaining than the actual event Instagram: JakePaul/Twitter: Ian KennedyJake Paul’s bout against Tyron Woodley was the main event, but fans in the stands decided to kick the night off with an amateur exhibition of their own that has quickly gone viral online. YouTuber and undefeated boxer Jake Paul continues to shock fans and detractors with his skills in the boxing ring. Despite being unable to fulfill his promise of getting a knockout win over Woodley, the pair slugged it out before Paul took home the split decision victory.

Yet, while the fans at home were watching the action in the ring, it’s a fight that happened in the stands that has gone viral. Going the distance While Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley settled the score in the ring, the streets came calling in the seats. Reported initially by DramaAlert host Keemstar, the footage is a familiar situation of palpable tension.

Security was on the scene quickly to disparage any serious harm. However, the amateur nature of this short fight has sparked a variety of responses on the form of these unexpected fighters. “One punch and that man was fumbling” commented one viewer on the technique of the white t-shirt battler.

It seems that this was one of many unofficial exhibitions too, as one user pointed out: “There were 4 different fights just in the stands!”. Wherever these gentlemen are now, we’re sure that they’ve learned a valuable lesson in street fighting.

Christmas is a time for reuniting with their families to enjoy the festive season with their loved ones. One part of Christmas loved by many, but discouraged by some, is the giving of gifts, to show appreciation for those close to them, despite some people’s ungrateful reactions. The present part of Christmas is unanimously enjoyed most by children, who go to sleep the night before eagerly anticipating what Santa might bring them, but for some, a TikTok Mom went too far with the amount of gifts she bought her children. TikTok mom draws backlash for Christmas presents In the viral TikTok video with over 9 million views, the original poster pans around the living room of their house to show a floor stockpiled with presents: “We just don’t have the room in this new house to display the presents properly.” Many oeople criticized the parent, some believing them braggadocious for sharing the huge mountain of presents, especially when combined with the caption. “I asked my daughter what is she looking forward to the most for Christmas. She said the dinner and spending time with family. I raised my children well,” one person commented. “I’ll never understand this. Even being able to do it, I would never understand it,” another said. “That’s just too much,” another comment agreed. Others felt that it was spoiling the children, arguing “This is just too much.” However, not everyone in the comments was complaining about the post, with some people reminding others not to be so judgmental: “So many comments seem upset that she went all out for Christmas with HER money for HER family she wasn’t bragging or boasting simply sharing the blessing(s) she was able to get/give.” “Great to see,” another user commented. “No one should feel guilty for wanting to make their kids happy. Even if some can’t.” If you’re interested in what are the best Christmas movies to snuggle up and watch with you’re family on Christmas day, check out our article on the Best Christmas movies currently on Netflix.

  • Viral cheese fondue fail guy tries fountain again & people are delighted – Dexerto

    Viral cheese fondue fail guy tries fountain again & people are delighted YouTube: Tasty HoonIn a joyful turn of events, the mukbang YouTuber who had a rather unfortunate incident with a fondue machine gone haywire, has finally got his cheese fountain working perfectly, much to the internet’s delight. YouTuber Tasty Hoon has just recently got started on his mukbang YouTube channel, a style of eating show originating from Korea that sees streamers and YouTubers eat huge amounts of delicious looking food on camera. However, disaster struck for Hoon just three videos in when he attempted to make a cheese fondue fountain to dip his fried chicken in. The cheese was much too thick, and the fountain started literally falling apart before his eyes, thick globs of cheese being whipped around at frightening speeds, landing across the room. Topic starts at 1:01 The stunned YouTuber kept carried on with the show nonetheless, wrapping his chicken in the blanket-like cheese that he’d picked up from the table. The clip promptly went viral, one of its most popular tweets receiving over 430,000 likes and counting. In the comments of his previous video Hoon announced he would give the fountain and another try, and on that he delivered. This time the cheese he melted was a lot thinner in consistency, and looked a little more promising. But that didn’t stop Hoon from flinching when he hit the on-switch, totally unable to anticipate what the results would be. To his absolute delight the fondue worked perfectly, and that made the delicious-looking cheese-covered fried chicken a lot more rewarding. Topic starts at 6:40 And the internet was just as delighted as Hoon, sharing their congratulations on the success across social media. One Twitter user expressed how much they loved “the joy on his face. I love this man and his cheese fountain.” The joy on his face. I love this man and his cheese fountain pic.twitter.com/wBKrbpo0oq — mc skin (@chunkmoneyy) November 2, 2020 Another user commented on the perfectly cyclical story of the failure and success of the mukbanger’s cheese fountain, calling it a “mistakes into miracles” story. Tasty Hoon’s viral success has had people falling in love with the mukbanger’s hilarious personality, and it may well give him the push to try other ambitious food experiments, hopefully with some more hilarious moments along the way.

  • Viral “Cheese of Truth” TikToker shocks fans with Terry Crews collab – Dexerto

    Viral “Cheese of Truth” TikToker shocks fans with Terry Crews collab TikTok: kessel_nathan_officialThe Cheese of Truth has spoken… and its latest prophecy foresees a collaboration with Terry Crews. Oh wait, that’s already happened. For anyone understandably confused, the “Cheese of Truth” is a bizarre TikTok series that sees slices of Swiss cheese slammed against pages of text. Prophecies are then read from whatever words the holes in the cheese have left uncovered. Previously, the Cheese of Truth offered pearls of wisdom such as “Your relationship will never end ever” and “You need to realize you’re hot”. But things have officially moved up a notch, with the creator behind the viral cheese seemingly now offering celebrity readings. And the Cheese’s latest truth surrounds none other than American actor, television host, and former American football player, Terry Crews. Nathan Kessel, known as ‘kessel_nathan_official’ on TikTok, recently posted a new Cheese of Truth video that took many fans by surprise as it saw the family consultant “casually” collaborate with Crews. In the video, Kessel can be seen approaching Crews with a slice of cheese in hand before announcing “Cheese of Truth” and slamming the dairy product on top of Crews’ head. “You will be bald forever,” Kessel prophesied, with Crew’s breaking into tears (his best acting yet, if we don’t say so ourselves). Following the bad news, all Kessel could offer Crews was an apology, writing “Terry I’m sorry” in the caption of his video. Fans and viewers alike were left flabbergasted, confused by Crews’ unexpected and bizarre guest appearance. When asked how the collab came about, Kessel only replied with “Yes”. “The fact the Terry Crews basically let you slap the shine off his noggin with cheese is blowing me away,” one viewer wrote. Another said, “That way not the crossover I expected.” Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

  • Viral cat on cocaine sent to zoo Harambe died in after terrorizing Ohio neighborhood – Dexerto

    Viral cat on cocaine sent to zoo Harambe died in after terrorizing Ohio neighborhood Cincinnati Animal CAREFootage of a wild cat on cocaine went viral after it terrorized an Ohio neighborhood, then ended up in the Cincinnati Zoo where Harambe died. A wild serval cat native to Africa was captured earlier this year in the Ohio neighborhood of Oakley. Resident Reid Faherty captured footage of the cat growling in a tree on Edroy Court, which quickly made the rounds online. Chief Troy Taylor from the Hamilton County Dog Warden’s Office told Local 12 these types of animals “are on the dangerous wild list for Ohio.” Strangely, the wild cat was made all the more threatening by the drugs found in its system by Cincinnati Animal Care medical crew. Viral cat on cocaine now calls the Cincinnati Zoo home While the serval now-named Amorie currently resides at the Cincinnati Zoo, which may sound familiar to those who know the Harambe story, results from a toxicology report paint a strange picture of the cat’s time roaming the streets of Ohio. According to officials, Amorie’s test results show evidence of cocaine in his system at the time of his capture in January. “Toxicology came back [that] the animal was positive for narcotics in its system. And DNA came back which was conclusive of [it] being an illegal serval,” Chief Taylor revealed. How narcotics ended up in the cat’s system is a mystery yet to be solved. Local 12’s update on the viral cocaine-drugged cat also revealed that Amorie suffered a broken leg during his capture. Fortunately, the medical team at Cincinnati Animal Care helped the animal get back into shape. As of writing, Amorie remains in the care of the Cincinnati Zoo, though what’s next for the serval is not known. Needless to say, this update about the cocaine cat is bound to garner a lot of interest, especially as moviegoers give Cocaine Bear a chance.

While Baby Tate’s bars may have been a one off duet, fans are dying for a full-length rendition of the song from this rapper. Britt Barbie has already released a full-length version of this song that expands upon the original TikTok version. Britt Barbie’s song didn’t come out of nowhere, either. She had a previous TikTok go viral where she repeated the phrase, and that made her inclined to turn this into a full track. How did the now-viral Britt Barbie song start? Britt Barbie posted a TikTok where she ended every statement with the phrase “Period Ahh”, and it took off for her. After her original video gained popularity. Britt Barbie posted a TikTok of her repeating the phrase and adding a slightly different, “Period Uhh”, alternating between the two. This video went viral, taking over TikTok enough for Baby Tate to take notice. She created a duet, which only helped skyrocket Britt Barbie’s song into even further popularity. Fan impressions on Baby Tate’s duet are that she killed it, and her rendition of Britt Barbie’s song is good enough to warrant doing a full version. The only thing we’ve seen so far from Baby Tate is this tweet poking fun at Britt Barbie’s now-iconic phrase. This isn’t Britt Barbie’s first taste of viral fame, however. Earlier this year, she went viral on TikTok for claiming she didn’t know that hair grew from the top of her scalp. The account Britt Barbie posted the original from was taken down according to the title of the re-uploaded video from Britt Barbie. Now that she’s uploaded a full version of “Period Ahh Period Uhh” separate from TikTok, it’s hard to say whether Baby Tate will be able to create her own rendition of the track even if she wanted to. However, that doesn’t rule out a collaboration between these two creators. Who knows what could happen?

We’ve all probably seen a movie bar fight or two in our lives, but a real-life beatdown outside a pub may be crazier than anything from Hollywood. In a clip that’s going viral on Twitter, a crowd of around fifteen people and ten women began rumbling as they exited the bar with seemingly everyone fighting with a dance partner. As the groups began to separate, one blonde girl was being kicked on the ground when someone got into a car and proceeded to back up onto her.

The driver was soon confronted by yet another fighter who tried to get in and attack them, but she had to be restrained. By the end, the woman who was run over had to be helped up, but luckily everyone else seemed to recognize that the situation escalated way too far. It’s not clear when the melee happened or if anyone was severely injured, but the FightHaven Twitter page says the battle took place in Pennsylvania. Since being posted, the clip has gone viral, amassing over 1.3M views in just one day. This is just the latest in a long line of fights to go viral recently.

In her viral video, she said that the trend “slightly triggered” her eating disorder, and that she has to “swipe or look away” from the videos. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load below. In the comments, many users agreed with Victoria’s stance, with some saying they that they felt inspired to engage in disordered eating because of the videos using the viral sound. “No same the ED has been fully triggered and wants to come back,” one user commented. “Same it’s so triggering but yet I’ll be peeking with one eye,” another wrote. “Me trying to laugh as if I’m not going to think abt it for the res of the day,” a third added. Others expressed concern for those making videos that joke about disordered eating. “And the way some of them don’t even realize it’s a whole ED,” one shared. While the popular audio features Bella’s voice, the model has been vocal about her own experience with eating disorders and body dysmorphia as a teenager in an interview with Vogue on March 15. “I’d pack my little lunch with my three raspberries, my celery stick. I was just trying, I realize now, to feel in control of myself when I felt so out of control of everything else,” she said. Although she revealed that she has a much healthier relationship with food now, she still has feelings of body dysmorphia, explaining: “I can barely look in the mirror to this day because of that period in my life.”

  • Viral “alien corpse” shown to Mexican government inspires cake remake – Dexerto

    Viral “alien corpse” shown to Mexican government inspires cake remake Twitter: The_BakekingEarlier this month, footage of suspected “alien corpses” shown to the Mexican government went viral. Now one baker is getting in on the drama, turning the corpse into cake. On September 12, journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan reported that “‘non-human’ alien corpses” were on display at Mexico’s Congress. As a result, the internet went wild with rumors and theories surrounding the alleged 1000-year-old remains. “These specimens are not part of the evolution of our world,” Maussan said, testifying under oath. “They were not recovered from a UFO scrap. They were found fossilized in a diatom moss mine.” Nonetheless, this has yet to be scientifically proven, and there is much debate surrounding the authenticity of Maussan’s claims due to his unreliable track record. One baker, however, is making the most of the viral sensation, showing off his impressive cake-making skills with his very own edible alien corpse. Ben Cullen, who goes by ‘The Bake King‘ online, is renowned as the UK’s most creative cake maker — and his latest creation goes to show just why he deserves the title. “You won’t believe this!” Cullen wrote on Instagram, posting a video of an “alien corpse” being cut into with a knife only to reveal the body is in fact cake. Framed as a news report, the video’s headline reads, “Suspected Alien corpse turns out to be a cake.” And while Cullen’s creation isn’t actually the same alien corpse featured in Maussan’s footage, many were pranked by the skillful cake. “What scam is this? Are [you] serious [right now]?” one person commented. Others, however, had some very different concerns; “Some alien [is going to] watch this on free TV and think humans are eating their kids and they are never coming back here.” Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

  • Amazon delivery van driver fired after TikTok goes viral – Dexerto

    Amazon delivery van driver fired after TikTok goes viral TikTokAn Amazon delivery van driver has been fired, after a clip went viral on TikTok showing a woman stepping out of the back of the van, and was viewed millions of times. In October, TikTok users became obsessed with a video of an Amazon delivery driver and an unnamed woman stepping out the back. At first, some are skeptical of what they were seeing. However, the clip has been confirmed as a real Amazon van and driver, who had allowed the woman to enter the van. As a result, the driver, from Florida, has been fired from Amazon, reportedly for allowing an unauthorized person into the delivery vehicle. The company said, “The driver is no longer delivering packages to Amazon customers.” Original Amazon van TikTok video The original video was first posted by patrickhook01 back on October 24 and has racked up over 12 million views since then, as users have shared it far and wide with friends and fellow TikTokers. As noted, it shows a delivery driver and a woman stepping out the back of his van, with the woman seemingly checking if the coast is clear before taking a hop, skip, and jump away from the driver. It didn’t take long for users to figure out what had seemingly gone on, joking that the woman might be doing her own delivery in nine months time. “Well that explains why my packages never come on time,” many users joked. Some viewers questioned how the person recording it was in the right place at the right time to catch them coming out the door. The original uploader said they began filming when they saw the door open. Others noted that Amazon vans have cameras and trackers, which would give the game away if the driver was doing what the video appears to show. With the viral potential of TikTok and its ‘For You Page’ algorithm, it’s possible for any video to suddenly go viral, with real world consequences as seen here.

  • Viperous has been unbanned on Twitch – Dexerto

    Viperous has been unbanned on Twitch Viperous / InstagramAfter being hit with a second Twitch ban, streamer Viperous has been unbanned, so fans can continue watching her stream on the platform. Well-known for her Rainbow Six Siege and Fortnite gameplay, Viperous is a very popular streamer and has over 50,000 followers on her channel. Those wanting to watch her on June 12, however, will have seen the broadcast cut short for her second suspension on the website. Previously, back in November 2019, she was banned for allegedly using a racial slur, which she claimed at the time was actually her saying “nerd”. On that occasion, Twitch lifted the ban and apologized for their mistake. This time, however, the reason for her ban was unclear. Though, her presumably temporary suspension has now ended, meaning her channel is discoverable once again. Why was Viperous banned on Twitch? The news was confirmed on June 12, as the StreamerBans account confirmed the Twitch partner had been suspended. ❌ Twitch Partner “”Viperous”” has been banned! ❌https://t.co/Hkgxp9Rnro#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner 🏈 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) June 12, 2021 Her viewers are speculating that the ban is actually a result of a DMCA strike, after streaming CBS content during a live stream. Viperous did not comment about the ban publicly while her channel was offline. Right before the ban came into effect, though, she tweeted “Why” after being told by another user to be careful on stream. Now that the ban is over, fans can hop into her chat next time she goes live and continue as normal. Maybe she will unveil specifics about the ban during a live stream, but for now, at least, the issue has been resolved.

  • Viperous banned from Twitch again for watching YouTube video on stream – Dexerto

    Viperous banned from Twitch again for watching YouTube video on stream Viperous, InstagramTwitch streamer Viperous has been hit with a second ban in three days, and this time she’s revealed why her channel has been suspended. This is the third ban from streaming she has experienced, having previously found herself caught up in a strange story where Twitch accused her of a racial slur, which turned out to be her saying “nerd” during a broadcast. That was later overturned and Twitch apologized for the mistake. Her most recent ban on June 12 was thought to be a DMCA strike, after watching videos with her audience on stream. And just three days later – one day after being unbanned – the popular streamer faces another spell on the sidelines. Why is Viperous banned on Twitch? On June 15, she took to Twitter to explain why fans can’t watch her on Twitch for the time being. She tweeted: “DUDE WHAT!!! I was watching a video on anesthesia awareness on YouTube that had zero blood or gore in it.” In the post, she included a screenshot of a message from Twitch, which stated she had been banned for “Sharing content featuring gore or excessive blood.” This means a Community Guidelines strike had been placed on her account, so she’ll be locked out from streaming for another couple of days. DUDE WHAT!!! I was watching a video on anesthesia awareness on YouTube that had zero blood or gore in it. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! @Twitch pic.twitter.com/K8LML3D7sa — sidney (@Viperous) June 15, 2021 The video that got her banned In a reply to that original post, Viperous showed the video she had been watching on YouTube. It was a Shane Dawson video, which starts with a disclaimer of containing “very graphic descriptions of surgery” and is described by the creator as “intense.” The content itself is about raising awareness of Anesthesia and what it’s like to wake up from surgery. However, there doesn’t appear to be any blood or gore included in the post, meaning there is a good chance Viperous may see this overturned. Should anything change in relation to this ban, we’ll update this post. For now, though, Viperous’ channel isn’t available unless you have a time machine.

  • Viperous slams bizarre Twitch ban amid yoga pants ASMR meta – Dexerto

    Viperous slams bizarre Twitch ban amid yoga pants ASMR meta YouTube: Sidney CellasPopular Twitch streamer ‘Viperous’ has hit out at the broadcasting platform after being denied for an unban appeal over a YouTube video — which showed “zero blood and gore.” Viperous has had a tumultuous week on Twitch. The streamer has over 50,000 followers and mainly streams Rainbow Six or Fortnite gameplay. She has been banned twice in a span of three days, with her latest appeal effectively squashed. After being banned for what was supposedly a DMCA strike, Viperous once again faced a suspension three days later after watching a YouTube video with her fans. The video, created by Shane Dawson, dives into Anesthesia Awareness but doesn’t feature actual blood or gore… but the video appeared to be the reason for her latest ban, nonetheless. https://twitter.com/Viperous/status/1404671549257383939?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1404671549257383939twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentviperous-banned-from-twitch-again-for-watching-youtube-video-on-stream-1595495 Viperous reached out to Twitch in an email, which she shared with Dexerto, asking them for the specific reason for her ban. “If this was not the video pertaining to the reasoning of my ban, then the only other thing I could think of would be an FX prop of a hand that was shown in another video an hour before my ban; also by Shane Dawson,” she explained. “The cut off hand that was shown was stated to be FX/PROP and *NOT REAL* before it was shown.” Twitch responded with an email (also shared by Viperous), stating that she had been banned for “broadcasting or sharing content that deliberately includes or likely includes content that would be deemed sexually explicit, extremely violent, or otherwise obscene content that would violate Twitch’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.” Twitch concluded by determining their “enforcement was valid,” and her ban will remain. Viperous lashed out at the platform in a pointed tweet on June 17, noting that she’d received a seven-day ban over a fake prop of a hand, while other streamers have shown nudity and only received a 24-hour ban — all this amidst the platform’s “new meta” of women posing in yoga pants while licking ASMR microphones. Twitch banned me for an FX makeup prop of a hand in a youtube video. I submitted an appeal where they stated it was prop/FX before showing it and they denied my appeal and said the ban stays. But you show your pussy for 6 seconds and get a 24 hr ban. Actually mind blowing. — sidney (@Viperous) June 17, 2021 Twitch does not comment on individual bans, so it is likely this is the only answer fans will receive regarding Viperous’s odd — and mysterious — suspension.

    Vinnie Hacker’s girlfriend threatens to leave job over online bullying Instagram: Faith Ordway/ Instagram: Vinnie HackerTikToker Vinnie Hacker’s girlfriend has threatened to leave her job after fans of the creator spammed her with hate comments.

Other big names in Sway Gaming include Griffin Johnson, Quinton Griggs, and Kio Cyr. Fans recently spotted that he was getting close to fellow creator Faith Ordway. Soon after they posted a TikTok together, Faith was bombarded with comments about her and her past social media posts. In a series of tweets, Faith expressed how badly she was affected by the unwanted attention, writing “I’m done with all the hate and people trying to put dirt on my name. I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. https://twitter.com/faithordway7/status/1329186002510913539?s=20 “If you chose to believe it go ahead don’t care anymore, you’re all just ruining my mental health over a man going through depths trying to make me look like a bad person” But this soon escalated, with Faith threatening to quit her job as a result of the online hate she had received: “I’ll fly home and just quit the job I love, and stop seeing someone who I like since it’s caused issues… I care more about Vinnie and his image than my own, so I’ll dip because you’re bringing him issues” https://twitter.com/faithordway7/status/1329187075388686337?s=20 Vinnie himself expressed his opinion on Twitter, explaining, “I’m removing all my negative/annoying posts.

I’m deeply sorry if I offended anyone, take the apology or don’t. I don’t know how to handle 1000 people trying to attack me.” https://twitter.com/faithordway7/status/1329197478197936128?s=20 Meanwhile, it looks as though Vinnie’s fans aren’t conceding, as screenshots of Faith’s comments are still being blasted on TikTok room.

  • Violent gym fight goes viral as men brawl amongst workout equipment – Dexerto

    Violent gym fight goes viral as men brawl amongst workout equipment Instagram: blackfitnessA video has gone viral for showing a violent brawl among a group of men. The most bizarre part of the fight? It took place in a gym. Gymming can be a serious lifestyle for many, with various exercise fanatics often debating on correct etiquette across social media. From how to use the equipment to not staring at others, there are many unspoken rules to ensure everyone is treated equally and with respect. It seems, however, that some gym users did not get the memo on how to behave after a violent fight broke out between a group of men. Shared to Twitter on the account ‘LordEmee1’, the video shows the men brawling amongst the equipment and other gym users. Luckily no weapons were used in the fight — with plenty of weights around, the outcome could have been far more severe. Instead, punches were thrown and people were tackled to the ground. All the while, other gym members watched and continued with their own workouts. It is unknown why exactly the fight broke out, however, some have assumed that race may have been involved. It is worth noting that there is currently no evidence to support this. “The hatred in America is wild,” one person commented. Others were more focused on the men’s skill — or lack of — with one Twitter user posting, “All that muscle tied to crappy technique.” “None of them look like they know how to fight,” another said.

  • Vinnie Hacker achieves surprise win against Deji in YouTubers vs TikTokers event – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker achieves surprise win against Deji in YouTubers vs TikTokers event Twitter: Vinnie Hacker/DejiDuring Battle of the Platforms, Vinnie Hacker scored Team TikTok their first (and only) win of the night after a surprise win against YouTuber Deji. In theory, Deji was a shoe-in for victory. As well as fighting before, he managed to go the distance in the ring with Jake Paul — a feat that even the likes of AnEsonGib can’t say. Some might even say that, as the younger brother of KSI, fighting is in his blood. However, one thing he won’t be getting bragging rights from is his fight with 19-year-old TikTok star and boxing newcomer Vinnie Hacker, who managed to beat the YouTuber by Round 3 with a TKO. Here’s the winning moment from TikToker Vinnie Hacker over YouTuber Deji! https://t.co/aHlFLhgHh6 — Dexerto (@Dexerto) June 13, 2021 While Deji seemed to be taking the lead in Round 1 — his significant weight advantage seeming to work in his favor — Hacker landed a brutal right hook in Round 2 that seemed to tip the scales in his favour, as he later stopped KSI’s brother with a TKO in the following round. Read More: YouTube sweeps Battle of the Platforms as Austin McBroom KOs Bryce Hall: Highlights, results & more – With coronavirus restrictions leaving Deji stranded in Mexico for two weeks in the lead up to the fight, many speculated that he might end up at a disadvantage training-wise. Fans were also shocked at Deji’s physique during the official weigh-in on June 11, with many pointing out that he had a “dad bod.” Following his loss, Deji appeared defeated, tweeting that he was a “failure.” However, following a public pep talk from KSI, who said he “did more than many people could do” by getting in the ring in the first place, the YouTuber seemed determined to continue his fighting career, as he vowed to fans on Twitter that he would “bounce back.” No you’re not deji. You got in that ring. That’s more than what many could ever do. Ultimately you’re an entertaining YouTuber, boxing or not. So don’t worry about this for real. ❤️ bro — ksi (@KSI) June 13, 2021 Meanwhile, following his win, Hacker seemed a little dazed but very happy with his win. Keeping things friendly with his competitor, he credited Deji for being a “great fighter” while refusing to comment on what many people hope is the start of fruitful fighting career. He later thanked his circle, fans and anyone who supported him “in general” throughout this process. “I did this for ya’ll,” he said in the tweet. With Hacker not ruling out a fighting career and Deji seeming determined to get back into the ring, could we see a rematch between the two content creators in the future?

  • Vinnie Hacker under fire after claiming he “doesn’t have a type” – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker under fire after claiming he “doesn’t have a type” YouTube: Past Your BedtimeTikTok star and Twitch streamer Vinnie Hacker is coming under fire after claiming he “doesn’t have a type” — but his fans think otherwise. Vinnie Hacker is a hugely popular influencer, boasting over 15 million followers and a staggering 1 billion likes across TikTok, on top of 5 million fans on Instagram. Vinnie also streams on Twitch, and told us in an interview that gaming is a huge part of his life aside from his status as a top-tier content creator on other platforms. In fact, Vinnie joined gaming and entertainment org 100 Thieves last year — but it’s safe to say that his good looks and charm are a huge part of his appeal aside from his gaming exploits. Vinnie’s fanbase has always been curious about his favorite type of girl when it comes to dating… but according to Vinnie, he doesn’t have a type at all. The TikToker opened up about his preferences in a recent podcast with Fannita Leggett on August 21 after the host jokingly asked him about the topic. “People always ask me that question, and every time I say I don’t have a type. Like, I don’t. People don’t seem to believe me when I say that, for some reason.” “Is your type white girls?” Fannita asked. “No,” Vinnie responded. “I don’t have one.” (Topic begins at 14:28) Vinnie Hacker faces backlash for saying he doesn’t have a type Vinnie’s statement about people not believing him is true, because according to commenters, the influencer is apparently not being totally truthful about what kind of girl he likes. Fans are pointing out that Vinnie appears to have a preference for blonde women with long hair, and even brought up an old TikTok of his where he joked about it years ago. “That man is lying, he knows damn well he’s got a type LMAO,” one fan wrote on Instagram. “He loves blondes, but he will never say it so that everyone likes him,” another speculated. However, others are arguing in defense of the streamer, saying he’s following a variety of different women on social media who may or may not be to his tastes. Whatever the case may be, Vinnie is sticking to his story — but this wouldn’t be the first time he’s faced these kinds of accusations. Earlier this year, TikTok star Serena sparked quite the debate after claiming that Vinnie unfollowed her because she wasn’t blonde.

  • Vinnie Hacker reveals why he’s “scared” to have a girlfriend – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker reveals why he’s “scared” to have a girlfriend YouTube: Vinnie HackerSocial media star Vinnie Hacker is one of TikTok’s most popular content creators — but fame can come with a hefty price, as the influencer noted during an episode of the BFFs podcast. The fanaticism of Beatlemania nearly pales in comparison to the current obsession surrounding various K-pop stars and social media influencers, Vinnie Hacker being one of them. The TikToker, who boasts over 10 million followers on the viral video app, is popular among the site’s female viewerbase — so much so, that he’s had to stop his own fans from harassing women he’s been seen with. This has happened on a number of occasions, with Hacker expressing frustration over some of his fans going after girls he’s either dating or reportedly merely speaking to. The star has even had to debunk fake claims of DMing his viewers. This phenomenon was brought up during a June 24 episode of the BFFs Podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, who asked Hacker how he handles the overwhelming nature of his own fanbase. Hacker admitted that he is genuinely uneasy about having a romantic partner or even talking to someone, referencing the many times his fans have harassed women in his life in the past. once it gets past that breaking point to where someone becomes relevant, the assumptions come and get dragged along with them. privacy is invaded and people try to tell them how to live their lives. you end up not being your own person, but the internet’s person. — 100T Vinnie (@vinniehacker) January 21, 2021 “What the hell is wrong with people?” Hacker said of the situation. “I wasn’t even talking to this one girl, I didn’t even know her, but the fact she mentioned we talked… but we didn’t actually talk. People just started attacking her.” “It keeps on going,” he continued. “Every time. That’s why I’m scared to talk to anybody right now. Personally, I don’t care about getting attacked or anything anymore.” (Topic begins at 48:25) Plenty of Vinnie’s fans sounded off against this harassment in the comments of the podcast, decrying those who harass any girl he’s seen with — showing that it’s not his entire viewer base who is responsible for the negativity. While it’s hard to keep a private life in the spotlight of social media fame, Vinnie appears to be handling the situation quite well, and is clearly unbothered and even willing to combat any toxicity from his overzealous fans.

  • Vinnie Hacker responds to backlash after posing with cigarette – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker responds to backlash after posing with cigarette Instagram: vinniehackerTikTok star Vinnie Hacker was ready for backlash after posing with a cigarette in a recent Instagram post, despite claiming he was quitting smoking last year. 20-year-old Vinnie Hacker is an extremely popular influencer, boasting over 15 million followers on TikTok and 5.6 million on Instagram. Hacker was officially signed to esports and entertainment organization 100 Thieves last year, and also sports a Twitch channel where he occasionally plays video games with fans. The creator is known for having a somewhat edgy style and could be seen smoking cigarettes in some of his previous posts… but in November 2022, he claimed that he was finally quitting tobacco. Vinnie Hacker posts smoking photos despite quitting tobacco in 2022 “Two days without vaping so far,” he wrote in a November 5 post. “Although this isn’t a huge milestone in terms of longevity, it is for me. The first step is to make a small one, and I hope y’all can support me on it.” “The thing that helped me the most was imagining my parents outliving their son,” he added. “Also, who the f*ck wants to say they died to ‘nicotine.’ I ain’t finna let that sh*t win.” However, fans were quick to lash out at Vinnie after he posted a series of photos to Instagram on January 18. In the pics, Hacker is seen sporting some seriously vampy fashion, boasting a long dark coat, dangling earrings, and — most notably — a cigarette between his lips. He’s currently vacationing with fellow influencer Noah Beck in Paris… and although Beck was happy to take some photos with his bestie, fans weren’t too jazzed about the pics due to Hacker’s cigarette. It looks like the influencer knew this backlash would happen, as he captioned the post: “Who cares about the cig? Enjoy the post, will you?” “Nah, I care about that cig big brother,” another influencer said. “Put that cigarette away right now,” one fan commented. “Didn’t you quit smoking?” another asked. Hacker is far from the first creator to come under fire for smoking. TikToker and singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett has also caught flak for posing with a cigarette in some of her Instagram posts — but unlike Vinnie, she had a far harsher statement for fans who took issue with the whole situation.

  • Vinnie Hacker responds to backlash over deleted “insensitive” TikTok – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker responds to backlash over deleted “insensitive” TikTok Instagram: Vinnie HackerTikTok star Vinnie Hacker has responded to backlash from fans after he posted a TikTok saying he was “lonely” after the US election results were announced – but his response to the situation has seemed to rile up fans more. Hacker is a growing star on the TikTok scene – he has 4.3 million followers on his main TikTok account as well as 1.4 million followers on his Instagram. Known mostly for his lip-sync videos on TikTok, he has also gained a following by being part of content house Sway Gaming – which is a spin-off from notorious content house the Sway House. Other big names in Sway Gaming include Griffin Johnson, Quinton Griggs and Kio Cyr. Hacker is also known for being open about his mental health struggles, with him opening up about some of the issues he faces on Twitter as well as on his private TikTok account @imnotvinnie and ‘pain account’ @itsallpainlmao. A recent phenomenon, ‘pain accounts’ are essentially private accounts wherein TikTok users vent their frustrations and share their mental health struggles. Even big name TikTok stars such as Nessa Barrett, have their own standalone ‘pain account.’ However, a recent post on Hacker’s ‘pain’ account caused him to draw scrutiny from fans. Following the announcement of the election results, which led to widespread celebrations across the US, Hacker posted a now-deleted TikTok wherein he said that while he was “super stoked” about the election results, he was “still lonely”. This in turn led to a lot of backlash, with several commenters telling Hacker that this situation was “not about” him, with one commenter remarking that Hacker was showing a lot of “privilege” by posting this video. One TikTok user said: “Are you kidding me right now?” In response to this backlash, Hacker deleted the video before posting a series of erratic Tweets. He started by posting that he was “done with being judged for everything”, saying that he “felt like he was being constantly watched” before apologizing for posting “such insensitive content”, reiterating that it was “never [his] intention to be insensitive to any community”. He then announced that he would be taking a social media break, but soon posted a TikTok to his private account which appeared to depict him sitting in a dark room before telling fans to “check [his] Twitter to get a deeper understanding” of the reason behind the TikTok. https://www.tiktok.com/@imnotvinnie/video/6892571007173889286 Over on Twitter, he explained that he posted the TikTok to “get a deeper understanding and meanings behind your guys’ disappointment”. He said that he’s not “reaching for sympathy” with the TikTok and “understands that this is something [he] should be held accountable for”, but he also argued that “some things were taken out of proportion” – claiming that he got death threats and family threats as a result of posting his original TikTok. Hacker ended the Twitter thread by asking fans for their “understanding” as he continues to educate himself on issues. reaching for sympathy. that’s not the case. there is no sympathy to be shed. also, most of it is just mocking, but underneath replies i could see a lot of your guys’ points. i understand. this is something i should continue to be held accountable for- — 100T Vinnie (@vinniehacker) November 8, 2020 a lot of you are still young, so some things were taken out of proportion; death threats, assault threats, threatening family, etc. but as you become older and start to realize, this isn’t how you handle things, education is solution. i know this is going to be a rough ride – — 100T Vinnie (@vinniehacker) November 8, 2020 and it will continue to be for as long as i have a social media platform, but i don’t want you guys to give me “i love you i hope you’re ok” right now, i want you to give me your understanding, and know what i’m saying with the meaning behind it. — Vinnie 😃 (@Vinniehacker) November 8, 2020 Fan reactions to the thread were mixed. While some fans sided with Hacker – with one Twitter user pointing out that it was “totally human to make mistakes” – other fans were more skeptical about his intentions behind the Twitter thread, with one fan arguing that “the way [Hacker] handles being held accountable is so weird”, speculating that he has a “manipulative side. It is unclear when – if at all – Hacker will start his social media hiatus.

    Vinnie Hacker puts MattyBoy on blast for allegedly copying his TikToks Instagram: vinniehacker / Instagram: okmattyboy‘Vinnie Hacker’ is one of the biggest names on TikTok and the social media celeb has clearly inspired others online. Though up and coming personality ‘MattyBoy’ has allegedly taken this inspiration too far. It can often be murky trying to figure out where things originated on the internet.

The medium also leads to a host of those celebrities being quite young. One of them is Vinnie Hacker. The TikToker has over 5.7 million fans on the platform, as well as 2 million on Instagram. However, life in the limelight has come with its own set of problems. Hacker feels like he’s been forced to live to unreasonable standards put by his fans. “Why do some people want to control my life. Telling me who I can and can’t talk to. Saying that you’ll only allow me to be with “this person.” Grow up. Don’t be manipulative,” he said in a TikTok. “You preach against manipulation and then go on and make sure that they live a life that’s satisfying to you and not them. One mistake and a person’s career is over in this area of work.” “In the eyes of the internet, people are subjected to be role models. And people say to not set unnecessary standards for others, but wouldn’t you think a life without mistakes and growth and perfection is more of a high standard than learning and growing?” He also said that once you get thrown into the social media machine, you can’t really pull yourself out. Ultimately, these stars live and die by their fans’ judgment. “Once it gets past that breaking point to where someone becomes relevant, the assumptions come and get dragged along with them. Privacy is invaded and people try to tell them how to live their lives. You end up not being your own person, but the internet’s person.” once it gets past that breaking point to where someone becomes relevant, the assumptions come and get dragged along with them. privacy is invaded and people try to tell them how to live their lives. you end up not being your own person, but the internet’s person. — 100T Vinnie (@vinniehacker) January 21, 2021 These comments come as Hacker takes a break from Twitch streaming to focus on his personal life. “Taking a break from streaming for quite a while. I don’t really feel to explain. A lot of personal stuff, on top of the unfortunate stuff that happens whilst streaming. Something always goes wrong. I might begin again, I might not,” he said.

  • Vinnie Hacker interview: TikTok, Twitch, and “growing up too soon” – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker interview: TikTok, Twitch, and “growing up too soon” Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for JBLTikTok star Vinnie Hacker spoke about Twitch streaming, fashion, and the challenges of being a 19-year-old internet celebrity in an interview with Dexerto at the JBL x 100 Thieves launch party. 19-year-old Vinnie Hacker boasts over 13 million followers on TikTok. It’s his biggest social media platform, and one he credits to his meteoric rise to online stardom. In fact, his status as a celebrity TikToker even earned him a spot on Netflix’s Hype House reality show, where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Lil Huddy and Nikita Dragun on one of the world’s biggest streaming platforms. As such, it’s no surprise he was invited to mingle with other major influencers at the 100 Thieves x JBL launch party, which was decked out in oodles of retro gaming memorabilia to celebrate the two companies’ collaborative headset. View this post on Instagram “I’m super excited,” Vinnie said of the event. “There’s so many friends that I see here … I don’t go out a lot. But especially when I go out with these guys, for example, they’re an exception. They’re all super nice, and I love everybody that’s in this space.” How to navigate internet fame without “growing up too soon” However, being in such a focused spotlight as a massive online personality isn’t easy, Vinnie says. Becoming a celebrity meant he had to grow up fast, while other young people his age are partying at their college campuses or taking gap years. “I’m 19,” Vinnie reminded us. “It’s definitely like growing up too soon, maturing too soon. A lot of people my age are going to college, going to college parties and stuff like that. I feel like, you know, since I have to portray myself to all these millions of people that either look up to me or just watch me in any way, that I have to be mature and be a role model at a young age.” Getting pinned as a role model isn’t the only pressure of being a major social media star, either; Vinnie says that watching what he says is also par for the course in his field. “It seems as if, nowadays, you can’t make any mistakes,” he added. “You have to be super careful about, even if you’re wording something wrong, just stuff like that. It’s definitely worth it because you realize a lot of stuff when you’re younger, so you’re able to capitalize off of that.” For Vinnie, the “cons” of accruing fame aren’t all inherently bad. The TikTok star claims that being famous helps you find out who your real friends are. “I’d say that a lot of people do mix up the cons of being an influencer, as far as a lot of people like to get close to you because of who you are. But there are benefits in that, which is being able to find out who actually wants to be friends with you for who you are. You’re able to see after a while, who actually cares and who actually just wants to be there because you are who you are.” From TikTok clips to Netflix Most recently, Hacker found himself starring in a Netflix’s Hype House show — another big step in his career, and one that he wasn’t expecting, although he did claim that he had thoughts about competing on ‘Survivor’ at one point. “No, I never really thought about that,” he said when asked if being on a reality show was something he ever saw himself doing. “My mom did want me to go on Survivor, though. I went back home to Seattle not too long ago, and my mom said, ‘Hey, I signed you up for Survivor, by the way.’ And I was just like, ‘Why would you do that?’” “I was actually pondering Survivor when I was little for a while, but I never thought I’d actually do a reality show of any sort. It was weird. It’s something you have to get used to, because you have cameras set up in your house, you have people following you around all the time. It’s definitely something that takes time to get used to.” Balancing TikTok & 12-year-old Vinnie’s Twitch dreams Although he might be best known for his TikTok presence, it would be amiss to dismiss his equally huge presence on Twitch, where he boasts a whopping four million followers who regularly tune into his gaming broadcasts. For Vinnie, gaming is a huge part of his life, and finding a balance between his status as a TikToker and a Twitch streamer can be a difficult feat — but he’s not giving up on his passion for streaming, whatsoever. “I know that like ever since I was twelve, I’ve been more passionate about Twitch,” he admitted. “But you can never leave those people that helped you grow. That’s why I can’t decide on which one is of more importance to me, and it’s hard to balance it. These people from TikTok basically made me who I am today, whereas Twitch, I’ve been doing since I was twelve.” Unfortunately, Vinnie’s PC recently experienced some technical difficulties, leading to a rough patch for his current streaming pursuits… but he’s adamant on getting back to broadcasting as soon as possible. “Recently, my whole PC basically like, blew up, so I’ve been waiting to get a different one. I’ve been waiting to get parts because so many people are ordering parts. I’ll most definitely be streaming a lot more than I am now.” Purgatory: An ode to XXXTentacion On top of being a Twitch streamer and TikTok icon, Vinnie is also big into the fashion world. In fact, he’s got his very own clothing line, ‘Purgatory,’ which he claims was inspired by none other than rapper XXXTENTACION. “I actually got into a lot more high fashion stuff because of my friend Wisdom,” he said of his personal style choices. “Streetwear and stuff that I usually wear when I go out, just to go shopping, I got kind of that inspiration, it kind of just grew up with me and it kind of just phased in.” “As for the clothing brand, XXXTENTACION had a clothing brand called ‘Revenge.’ He pretty much inspired a lot of it, as far as design, but also just the name ‘Purgatory.’ It’s between heaven and hell. I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of that. I kind of just want to learn more about it.” View this post on Instagram Although Hacker can’t speak in-depth on upcoming news for his brand, he did say that there will be a relaunch this summer that “will be pretty big.” For now, Vinnie is set on trying to “be more adamant on Twitch” as he tries to get his PC back in order. “I’m hoping to be able to do more for [my fans], not only on Twitch, but on these other platforms and showing support for them.”

  • Social Gloves responds to accusations that YouTubers vs TikTokers fighters were unpaid – Dexerto

    Social Gloves responds to accusations that YouTubers vs TikTokers fighters were unpaid Instagram: livexliveTikTokers Josh Richards and Vinnie Hacker have claimed those who fought in the huge YouTubers vs. TikTokers boxing event have yet to be paid in full. UPDATE 6/25/2021 10:26 AM PST – Social Gloves Entertainment has responded after TikTok stars Vinnie Hacker and Josh Richards levied claims that fighters who participated in the Battle of the Platforms were not compensated. In an Instagram story, Social Gloves stated that they are “working tirelessly to verify the financial results” of the event. The platform then claimed that they’d hired a “first-class forensic auditor to make sure that all amounts are properly accounted for” and that their “sincere hope is to pay every fighter and every talent who participated” on a “reasonable timeframe,” while encouraging participants to send in receipts. Original story is as follows: On June 12, a selection of huge influencers from both YouTube and TikTok gathered together at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium to face off in an attempt to prove which platform is superior. The night had some explosive moments, but as hard as they tried, team TikTok only managed to score one win over team YouTube, with Vinnie Hacker beating Deji in one of the most talked-about fights of the night. The highly anticipated main headline fight was between Bryce Hall and Austin McBroom, and although Bryce ended up losing, he didn’t need a win to be promised an enormous amount of money. Prior to the fight, he revealed: “I’m getting 4% of pay-per-view sales…Then $5 million as soon as I step in the ring, and then a $1m knockout bonus.” However, in an episode of the BFFs podcast, Vinnie Hacker and host Josh Richards claimed that the participants of the event still haven’t been paid in full. After host Dave Portnoy said he’d heard that people were yet to receive their money, Josh claimed: “Fighters didn’t get paid, artists didn’t get paid, no one got paid. “From what I know, and I haven’t got to actually talk to Bryce I guess yet, but since after the fight has happened, all the reports have said that no one’s gotten paid. They’ve gotten their signing bonuses, which was like probably 100k, 50k, depending on the fighter — none of the other money’s come through.” Josh also went on to claim that he’s “95% sure” that the company due to pay the fighters filed for bankruptcy two days prior, but his fellow hosts questioned why the news, if true, isn’t getting more attention. He said the company in question ‘might’ be Social Gloves, which has since appeared to be confirmed due to their Instagram stories response to the allegations. Topic starts at 8:26 + 58:00 He added: “I heard there was suing involved already, and there was sh*t going down. I don’t know if maybe they came to an agreement, I don’t know if they worked it out in the last 24 hours, but I’m gonna bank on the side that you’re gonna see these fighters all get p*ssed really really soon.” Vinnie Hacker says he hasn’t been paid They later brought TikToker Vinnie Hacker on as a guest, and asked him whether there’s any truth to Josh’s claims that the fighters hadn’t been paid. “There’s a lot that we have to deal with right now, and I don’t even know the full story,” he said. Vinnie explained that he even got a call telling him to “keep his head up” because they “don’t know what’s going on right now.” He continued: “This whole time, this whole thing, I’ve been so out of the loop, because it was just terrible communication in the first place.” He then went on to confirm that he’s not been paid yet. It’s not clear which other fighters are in a similar position to Vinnie, but if Josh’s predictions are true, participants may come out of the woodwork soon to share their frustrations publicly.

  • Vinnie Hacker fans baffled as his Tinder profile appears on LA billboard – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker fans baffled as his Tinder profile appears on LA billboard Instagram: vinniehackerPeople have been left confused after a billboard imitating TikToker Vinnie Hacker’s Tinder profile popped up in LA, with fans wondering who could be responsible for the new installment. Vinnie Hacker is one of TikTok’s most popular influencers, with over 10 million followers on the platform. His popularity skyrocketed even further when he got the only TikTok win of the night at the Battle of the Platforms event against Deji, proving to be one of the most exciting moments from the night. His huge fanbase is very loyal, and naturally, there are plenty among them who are curious about the star’s love life, though he’s commented previously that he’s “scared to talk to anybody right now” as a result of the overwhelming amount of hate girls get when they are rumored to be involved with him. However, it looks like someone out there is keen for Vinnie to get out there, after the Hollywood Fix spotted a billboard in LA that was made to look like the star’s Tinder profile. The profile stated his location as The Hype House, and listed his likes as “boxing and long walks to the bathroom to take a selfie.” His dislikes were written as, “stinky breath and loud noises.” The board featured several of Vinnie’s pictures, and bizarrely, right at the end, there was also an image of him in the background of text that read: “I promise I don’t have chlamydia. Fans were of course thoroughly confused by the billboard and immediately wondered who could have been responsible. Many say that it was Vinnie’s friends who set up the over-the-top promotion of this dating profile as part of a prank, rather than the influencer posting it of his own accord. Vinnie has yet to react on social media to the new LA installment, but it’s possible that his reaction could feature in upcoming content from whoever came up with this wild prank if they happen to be part of the influencer world.

  • Vinnie Hacker confirms departure from Sway Gaming house in emotional TikTok – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker confirms departure from Sway Gaming house in emotional TikTok Instagram: Vinnie HackerAs we make our way through a new year, it looks like Vinnie Hacker is making a new start of his own, with an announcement on TikTok that he would be leaving Sway Gaming. Sway Gaming is a content house that emerged as a spin-off from the notorious Sway House. Alongside the recently departed Hacker, other members of the House include Kio Cyr, Griffin Johnson and Quinton Griggs. The House was originally launched in July this year by management and media company Talent X Gaming. Hacker, 18, is the first person to leave the House. The TikTok star, who has 5.4 million followers on the app, announced the news in an emotional TikTok, which featured him waving goodbye to his room, packing his possessions and hugging goodbye his now-ex housemates. Vinnie captioned the TikTok as follows: “Love all you guys so much. Living in this house was a rise and a half. I’ll never forget that this was the biggest impact on my life being here.” Since announcing his departure, Hacker has received an outpouring of support from not just his fans, but other influencers, too. TikTok star Chase Rutherford remarked in a comment: “I’m getting emotional,” while a fan commenting on his TikTok joked: “Don’t make me cry, it’s 6 a.m.” Other fans began speculating that Hacker’s departure meant that he was gearing up to move to the main Sway House or other popular content house, the Hype House. With fans having mixed feelings about the prospect, one TikTok user said: “If you guys were his real fans, you would support him whether he went to the Hype/Sway House or not.” Read More: Noah Beck’s Most Viewed TikToks of 2020 – However, for those who are worried that Hacker would no longer be collaborating with the people in Sway Gaming, have no fear — Hacker commented on his TikTok to say that he would still be around the house “24/7” even if he isn’t living there. What has Vinnie Hacker been up to recently? Hacker’s departure from the House comes after an eventful couple of weeks for the internet star. Recently, he was embroiled in a war of words with fellow TikToker MattyBoy, who Vinnie accused of “copying” him. Fans had been speculating for a while that MattyBoy had been copying Hacker’s mannerisms and content style, but it looks like Vinnie himself felt he had to step in after MattyBoy posted content where he was wearing the exact same beanie as Hacker, which is a staple part of his look. View this post on Instagram But that’s not all – Hacker also felt the need to speak out after a female friend was once again targeted by his overly enthusiastic fans. After commenting on an Instagram post by his friend Samantha Riehl and tagging her in his story, Vinnie’s fans begun to dig into her social media and make negative comments, presumably jealous of what they thought was a budding relationship between the two. Read More: TikToker Jaden Hossler leaves Twitter – This led to Hacker calling out his fans on Twitter, saying: “Didn’t know when i made a TikTok account I’d be signing a paper to sell my soul to people who don’t actually respect me.” Now that he’s left Sway Gaming, let’s hope 2021 is a much more plain sailing and drama-free year for the TikTok star.

  • Vinnie Hacker explains viral Olivia Rodrigo pics that sparked dating rumors – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker explains viral Olivia Rodrigo pics that sparked dating rumors YouTube: GQ, 100 Thieves Cast100 Thieves star Vinnie Hacker explained the story behind his viral photos with singer Olivia Rodrigo, which had fans convinced the two were secretly dating earlier this year. Vinnie Hacker is an uber-popular TikToker and Twitch streamer who signed with esports and entertainment org 100 Thieves in May 2022. Vinnie has admitted that his meteoric rise to internet stardom felt like “growing up too soon,” and has dealt with both the euphoric ups and distressing downs of online fame… including the backlash around his choice of girlfriends. The influencer has even claimed he was “scared” to have a girlfriend in the past due to previous backlash and harassment his dates have dealt with from his fanbase — but one possible girlfriend really sent the internet into a tizzy. Vinnie Hacker responds to Olivia Rodrigo dating rumors Shortly after signing with 100 Thieves, Hacker was spotted getting cozy with viral singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo at an event, instantly sparking dating rumors. The photos went viral, and fans were thoroughly convinced the two stars were a secret couple. Unfortunately for these hopeless romantics, Rodrigo began publicly dating 26-year-old DJ Zack Bia back in April and is reportedly still seeing the artist after her breakup from Adam Faze. Months later, Vinnie is officially putting the rumors to rest, as told during an August 18 episode of the 100 Thieves podcast with co-hosts Nadeshot and CouRage. “We went to her show,” he explained. “I’ve known her for like six, eight months now. We met at my friend’s birthday party and I was hanging out with a group of her and her friends and me and my friends.” “Apparently, Jack has met her before — he’s my close buddy. So basically, Jack knew all those people she was hanging out with and we were just chilling the whole night.” “We became friends with her and then I went to her show that night, and afterwards — I can’t remember what it was called, where went — it was her and a bunch of her friends who went to the show, so yeah.” (Topic begins at 0:48) There you have it; according to Vinnie, he and Rodrigo are just friends who’d hung out together at a local haunt after one of her live shows, where the photo seems to have been snapped. For now, it looks like Rodrigo is still seeing Zack Bia — the ex-boyfriend of fellow influencer and budding music artist Madison Beer.

  • Vinnie Hacker and Noah Beck reveal the worst things their haters have done – Dexerto

    Vinnie Hacker and Noah Beck reveal the worst things their haters have done YouTube: Noah BeckTikTok stars Vinnie Hacker and Noah Beck are no stranger to the ups and downs of internet stardom — but their career path isn’t always full of sunshine and roses, as the pair revealed in a recent video. These days, almost everyone is on social media in some way, shape or form. As such, a slew of popular personalities have risen on such platforms as YouTube, Twitch and TikTok, making for a new era of celebrities amidst the classic A-listers — but sometimes, their fans and haters can take things to extreme lengths. Many influencers have spoken out about the shocking breaches of privacy they experience on a regular basis, with names like PewDiePie and David Dobrik claiming that fans have shown up to their homes on multiple occasions uninvited. However, it’s not just overly-obsessed fans that content creators have to worry about; haters are just as dangerous, as Vinnie Hacker and Noah Beck — two of TikTok’s most popular male personalities — have revealed. View this post on Instagram In a March 7 episode of ‘Beckseat Driver,’ an interview series where Beck invites a TikTok-famous personality into his car and asks them questions about their life, the two got to talking about the wildest things their haters have done. Vinnie Hacker responded by revealing that one of his haters actually showed up to his parents’ house after apparently being disgruntled by the way he expressed himself online. “You know somebody showed up to my house?” he said. “My parents’ house? Dude, that made me so mad!” That’s not all; both Vinnie and Noah admitted that their phone numbers had also been leaked by angry critics, with one leaker even threatening Noah’s family. (Topic starts at 5:15) “I’ve had a random number send me a picture of my house that you can’t get from Google images — it was a weird angle of my house from back home. And he was like, ‘Better hide your sisters.’” The duo also revealed that haters have “made up” lies about them quite often, as well, with both seeming exhausted at the lengths their critics will go to out of pure spite. While they might be incredibly wealthy and famous, its important for everyone to remember that influencers are people, too — not just a fabricated presence behind a smartphone screen.

  • Vikkstar123 explains why he’s leaving the Sidemen House – Dexerto

    Vikkstar123 explains why he’s leaving the Sidemen House Twitter / @Vikkstar123Popular YouTuber and member of the ‘Sidemen’, Vikram ‘Vikkstar123’ Barn, has announced that he is leaving the Sidemen house, and moving out on his own. Sidemen is a YouTube collective of UK based content creators, led by the likes of KSI and others, who run the Sidemen channel as well as their own. Together they make various skits, vlogs and challenges, and even released a book in 2016 detailing the story of their careers and how they joined forces. Vikkstar, a member of Sidemen since its inception, will remain part of the group, but will no longer be living alongside them in their large mansion home. Instead, he plans to move into London City proper, to get the most out of city life and live more independently. “I’m going to be moving into my own place, that’s in London,” he explains “I want to enjoy the city life.” “I’ll be bringing you guys along with me all the way, I’m not going anywhere, I’ve been doing this seven, eight years, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. […] I can’t thank the Sidemen enough for the journey we’ve had together and all the amazing memories.” Given that he is no longer staying in the house, it is unclear how often Vikkstar will participate in the ‘Sidemen Sundays’ videos, the weekly series posted on the Sidemen channel. Over the past 12 months, Vikkstar has shifted his content focus on to primarily Fortnite gameplay commentaries, and less vlog or other game content. The focus on Fortnite, as for many other YouTubers, appears to be working for Vikkstar123, who almost a decade into his YouTube career is still seeing consistent growth.

On his Instagram, Patrick wrote: “my brother, Adam Perkins, passed away this previous Sunday, 4-11-21. I can’t even really put into words what this loss means for me. I’m often asked the question, ‘what’s it like to be a twin?’ and my response is usually, ‘what’s it like to NOT be a twin?’ “Being a twin is a very central part of my identity.

Tributes Pour in Fans are devastated and hundreds of thousands have taken to Twitter and other social media to offer their tributes to Adam, sharing images and videos dedicated to the late star.

You will be deeply missed.” https://twitter.com/LilMsIzz/status/1382197196653686785?s=20 Another user wrote, “rip Adam Perkins, like, forreal, you were one of my comfort people, I miss ya already friend, hope you’re welcoming people to chilis!!” https://twitter.com/ZeroRoyals/status/1382198604568227846?s=20 On TikTok, the spiritual successor to Vine, fans expressed their gratitude for the entertainment the fans provided to millions of people, with one person saying “This cut deep, you and Adam have brought happiness to so many people in my generation. It hurts to see something that mad light in my life go.” Another person wrote, “Adam was a massive inspiration to me. My young self wouldn’t have been the same without his influence,” while Patrick replied “Me too man. My biggest inspiration.” Who was Adam Perkins? While Vine stopped existing in 2016, many of its biggest stars have carried on as iconic internet celebrities. Even now, short Vine compilations still get millions of views on YouTube, and there are still multiple Instagram and Twitter accounts dedicated to them. Several vines have carried on their internet life as memes or gifs and have even been pasted onto merchandise. Adam and Patrick Perkins found viral fame on the app, particularly for one clip showing Patrick blowing a smoke circle using a vape on a desk when Adam, who carries the camera, blows it away. He turns to the camera and exasperatedly says “Adam!.” Another iconic and highly quotable vine shows Adam walking into his bathroom in just a pair of boxers saying: “Hi, welcome to chillis.” Due to their identical looks, many people thought the vines all featured the same person, and in November 2020, Patrick was forced to confirm that he and Adam were actually separate people. Clearly Adam’s impact online was huge, and he will be missed by people around the globe.

  • Viewership stats show massive growth of Twitch in 2021 so far – Dexerto

    Viewership stats show massive growth of Twitch in 2021 so far TwitchTwitch has seen a boom in its popularity over the course of 2021, with total hours watched in the first quarter of 2021 nearly double those from the same period in 2020. Stats revealed by data analytics firm Stream Hatchet have shown a monumental rise in the popularity of Twitch over the last calendar year. Back in 2019, between January 1 and March 31, viewers spent a total of 2.8 billion hours watching Twitch. In the same period in 2020, that figure had risen 14% to 3.2 billion hours watched. However, the viewing figures report for the first quarter of 2021 has truly driven home the surge in popularity Twitch has experienced over the past year. The report by Stream Hatchet shows viewers spent a staggering total 6.3 billion hours watching Twitch streams in the first quarter of 2021. This is a rise of 97%, or almost double the amount of hours watched from this time in 2020. In fact, this is roughly 300 million more hours watched than in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019 combined. Stream Hatchet cites roleplaying games have played a crucial role in this boom in popularity, with Rust jumping 27 places in the most-watched games ranking to eighth place, while GTA V has dislodged League of Legends as Twitch’s most popular game, in terms of hours watched. xQc, a rather controversial roleplayer on the OfflineTV Rust server who also recently received his third ban from the NoPixel GTA server, came out as the streamer with the most hours watched at 73.2 million – almost as much as Shroud, Ludwig and Summit1g combined. While Twitch has seen a huge increase in viewership overall, the stats have also exposed a massive gap in viewership figures between male and female streamers. Figures from Rainmaker.gg, StreamElements‘ analytics partner, show a 105% increase in Twitch viewership year over year. Also of note though, is Facebook’s growth. StreamElements Head of Communications Chase Patrick believes this growth will continue well into the future. “The growth will continue because the interactive appeal of livestreaming has now been embraced by the mainstream to the point where talk show hosts from Stephen Colbert to Bill Maher are casually mentioning the brand in their monologues,” he said. “The other thing that is happening is Twitch is investing in growing its audience beyond gamers by investing in other categories like sports. This included announcing a partnership with NBC surrounding the Olympics, and launching a Sports Accelerator Program where sports streamers are being paid to create content. ” The rise of Facebook Gaming Twitch isn’t the only winner. These figures also underline the insane growth of Facebook Gaming, whose audience has shot up from 0.6 billion hours viewed between January-March 2020 to 1.1 billion hours viewed between January-March 2021 – an increase of 87%. Read More: Just Chatting dominates Twitch content – YouTube Gaming also saw a major boost, with the acquisitions of streamers like Valkyrae seeing its hours viewed rise from 1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to 1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2021. However, if the current trajectories remain, Facebook Gaming will overtake YouTube Gaming as the second-most-watched live streaming platform by the time we reach 2022.

  • ‘Vigilante’ sparks debate after tripping man escaping Toronto police – Dexerto

    ‘Vigilante’ sparks debate after tripping man escaping Toronto police Twitter/6ixbuzztvA man is going viral for helping Toronto police apprehend a suspect fleeing a potential crime scene, but his actions have spawned quite a bit of debate. Police videos can be pretty thrilling to watch unfold and we’ve seen plenty of wild incidents over the years with cops hitting people with WWE finishing moves to chasing after a tractor that rammed through a Waffle House. The latest incident making waves online comes from Toronto, Canada where police gave chase to a suspect only for the man to be stopped by an onlooker who stepped his foot out. In the viral 20-second clip, a man can be seen getting physical with an officer before making a mad dash away only for a ‘vigilante’ on the scene to trip up the suspect, allowing the cops to make an arrest. Viewers split after ‘vigilante’ stops man running away from police The video was posted to both X and TikTok by 6ixBuzz and has been viewed over 300,000 times so far. Interestingly, viewers are split down the middle on the man’s actions. While some have called the man a “hero” and even a “citizen of the year” nominee, others don’t think his actions were warranted and he shouldn’t have gotten involved. “Vigilantism is a crime,” one user remarked. “Why do other people always want to play police?” another rhetorically asked. Meanwhile, others were concerned that the man would be charged for tripping the suspect and felt he might have ended up being arrested as well. “Is he guilty of assault?” another questioned. “This is Canada you can’t do that. Criminals have more rights than us,” said someone else on TikTok. It’s not clear so far what the man fleeing was charged with or what happened to the “hero” who helped officers apprehend the suspect. In any case, it seems like viewers are completely split down the middle on if his involvement was for the best.

They looked happy,” a viewer said. Another commented: “I’m sure he was more than thrilled to be told he’s going to be a grandad!”

  • Viewers troll man demanding $125 from neighbor for keeping boxes on porch – Dexerto

    Viewers troll man demanding $125 from neighbor for keeping boxes on porch Instagram: black_positivityA man demanded $125 from his neighbor for having delivery boxes on their front porch for over six hours. A man claiming he was part of the Homeowners Association, also known as the HOA, approached his neighbor about having boxes on their front porch all day. Though the neighbor didn’t answer the door, the man from the HOA spoke into their doorbell camera, demanding $125 for leaving the boxes. Viewers of the viral moment have since reacted, trolling the man asking for the money. Man from HOA says fines are given after boxes are left over six hours A neighbor had five boxes delivered to their house earlier in the day. Hours later, a man from the HOA took the time to ask them for $25 per box, resulting in a total of $125. As the man began explaining why the neighbor owed the HOA, he said he was “quite upset as of right now.” The man continued, “You are getting a fine for this, for having all these packages.” He then picked up some boxes and counted every one of them. The man from the HOA then explained in detail why the neighbor was being charged, saying, “Because they’ve been on your porch more than six hours — that’s the rule.” Viewers of the viral encounter commented, saying that the man from the HOA should get a real job. They also called him “boring” and “lonely.” Other comments included, “HOAs are out of control — just milking working people for every penny. We do not need them!” And, “This guy has no life of his own. He sits at his house watching other people’s front porch.” Some viewers even urged the neighbor to be careful, as the man may have been posing as an HOA member, just to rob their home. One person also said that the man should “hold his breath” for the money, as it was only a verbal fine with nothing on paper. Though the man from the HOA demanded the money, he didn’t give a timeframe on when or where it was due. It’s unknown if the fine was ever paid.

  • Viewers shocked that man paid a sober woman $25,000 to drink a glass of wine – Dexerto

    Viewers shocked that man paid a sober woman $25,000 to drink a glass of wine TikTok: sarahpribisA woman relapsed on her sobriety from alcohol when she was propositioned with $25,000 to drink a glass of wine. Sarah Pribis was offered $25,000 by a man she had gone out with on occasion. Though the money was initially put on the table for Pribis’ business ventures, there was one stipulation — she had to drink a glass of wine with the ‘gentlemen.’ However, Pribis is a recovering alcoholic and tried everything inside herself to deny the beverage. Since sharing her story with TikTok, viewers have responded in shock that someone would prompt an alcoholic to drink despite them saying no. Woman had the most “brutal relapse” for a year after drinking a few sips of wine A few years ago, Pribis was asked by the charity she was involved with if they could auction off a lunch with her. Happy to help, Pribis agreed to dine out with whoever the lucky winner was. However, things took a turn for the worse when the “much older” man who paid $25,000 at the auction to eat with Pribis asked her if she would drink wine with him if he gave her an additional $25,000 for her business ideas. Knowing she was a recovering alcoholic, the man still insisted on Pribis drinking the wine. She eventually took a few sips and relapsed — but that was just the beginning. Pribis explained in her TikTok video that she dined with the fella on occasion, but there were “red flags” from the start, as he always poured her a glass of wine “just in case” she changed her mind. Not only that, but she recalled only eating in a reserved backroom where nobody could see them. Nevertheless, Pribis continued to go out with the man because he seemed interested in financing her business ventures. However, after Pribis chose to drink those few sips with the man to celebrate him giving her a check for $25,000, she began to burrow herself in self-pity, as her relapse “secret” started to weigh heavy on her mind. She then started to abuse prescription medicine, saying, “It led to almost a year of a very brutal relapse — one of the darkest times in my life.” Pribis ended her video advising, “Not all money is good money.” Viewers, however, were shocked that anyone would give a recovering alcoholic an option to drink. They also shared their gratitude for Pribis telling her story, saying, “Thanks for being vulnerable, you are helping so many people.” Others said, “I’m so sorry he manipulated you like that. Thank you for sharing your story! It’s so easy to think it’s just one drink and I can go back. But shame destroys.” Luckily Pribis was able to pull herself out of her addiction once more and began dedicating herself to her work. She even has a television show she’s been working on, as she hopes to bring the idea to fruition sometime soon.

  • Viewers shocked over husband’s reaction to “getting another girl pregnant” – Dexerto

    Viewers shocked over husband’s reaction to “getting another girl pregnant” TikTok: royalandwaveyA woman’s video on TikTok left viewers shocked, showing her husband sobbing in the shower after supposedly “getting another girl pregnant” — but it’s probably not real. Thanks to the internet, tons of everyday folks have gone viral for one reason or another… but sometimes, these viral moments are more explosive than others. That’s the case for one TikTok user by the name ‘royalandwavey,’ who supposedly caught her husband confessing that he’d cheated on her and gotten the other woman pregnant. However, more than a few netizens are raising an eyebrow at the viral video and pointing out that it might be faked. Man throws tantrum after getting another woman pregnant – but is it real? On Sunday, November 5, ‘royalandwavey’ posted a video to TikTok that has garnered over 20 million views in just three days. In the video, her husband sits in the shower, fully clothed, while water splashes all over him as he cries, confessing that he slept with another woman and even got her pregnant. The guy is later seen kicking his legs while lying on the floor in a temper tantrum, while his girlfriend commentates over his “unreal” behavior. Commenters were just as shocked as the TikToker was. “Why he acting like YOU got someone else pregnant?” one user wrote. “He better just leave himself at this point,” another said. “He legit threw a tantrum over the consequences of HIS own actions,” yet another pointed out. However, based on other content on the TikToker’s page, some viewers are levying a skeptical eye toward the viral video. In fact, ‘royalandwavey’s’ TikTok bio reads “For Entertainment Purposes Only,” leading even more to believe that the entire video was just a skit made up with the intent of catching eyes online. Although there’s several more videos in the saga, it’s unlikely this viral video montage is real… but that hasn’t stopped folks on TikTok from being entertained.

  • Viewers outraged at Salvation Army for using Apple Pay to accept donations – Dexerto

    Viewers outraged at Salvation Army for using Apple Pay to accept donations TikTok: msparkman829Never done before, the Salvation Army is now asking people to use Apple Pay to donate during the holidays. There are a few things that are inevitable to run into while shopping for the holidays — one being a red Salvation Army donation bucket. Usually, there’s a volunteer ringing a bell when asking for passerbyers to donate their cash or change. However, during a recent shopping excursion, a woman came across an Apple Pay station for the Salvation Army. People have since reacted, outraged at how the idea of donating has changed. People shocked at how much the Salvation Army was asking for in donations via Apple Pay TikToker Ms. Parkman was recently doing some holiday shopping when she encountered the opportunity to donate to the Salvation Army. However, to her surprise, the way of donating looked a little different. As she recorded what would later be her viral TikTok video, Ms. Parkman walked up to an Apple Pay station. All you’d have to do was tap your phone to the charge and your donation to the Salvation Army would go through. However, not only was there no human present at the pay station, but there were only three price options to donate — $20, $10, & $5. Those who viewed Ms. Parkman’s video were stunned when they saw how the donation process changed, saying, “I remember asking my mom for her spare change to give to Santa, lol. Not no $5.” Someone also asked where the $1 option was, as they also thought the price range was a bit much to ask for. Others mocked the idea, jokingly saying, “Sorry, I only carry cash.” And though Ms. Parkman did reply to a comment saying that she usually pulls out a couple of dollars for her children to donate during the holidays, it seemed as though she was disappointed, as she also mentioned that she enjoyed the “pleasant” bell ringers.

  • Viewers shocked as airplane passenger covers their neighbor’s TV screen on long-haul flight – Dexerto

    Viewers shocked as airplane passenger covers their neighbor’s TV screen on long-haul flight Reddit: d_p_e_kA passenger on an airplane wasn’t able to watch any movies during their trip when a flier in front of them covered their TV screen with their hands during a long-haul flight. There’s no shortage of jaw-dropping moments that have happened on airplanes — but this incident in particular is making the internet rage. Just over the past year, we’ve covered a slew of disturbances that went viral during flights. From a woman ‘upgrading’ her seats by covering them in plastic wrap to a woman who claimed one of her fellow passengers “wasn’t real” in an epic meltdown, it seems airplanes are a hotspot for… interesting events. The latest moment to take the internet by storm is sparking a debate about communication with other fliers during air travel and what’s considered acceptable flying behavior. Person’s hands cover passenger’s TV screen on long-haul flight In 2022, Reddit user ‘d_p_e_k’ posted a video taken by his cousin, showing their point of view from where they were sitting in an airplane. The passenger in front of them had their hands over the headrest of their seat, effectively blocking the cousin’s TV screen. In the video, the flier tapped on the screen and appeared to pick at their fingernails, apparently oblivious to what they were doing and how they were inconveniencing the person behind them. The video went viral, and is picking up again a year later as viewers are left flabbergasted by the passenger’s behavior — and even offering some suggestions as to how they would have handled the situation. “You should have held his hands,” one commenter suggested. “Fake sneeze and flick some water on him,” another said. However, others were upset that the cousin apparently didn’t communicate with the passenger about their behavior for the duration of their long flight. “And your cousin sat there in silence and let them do that?” one user said. “Lol they must have liked it, then.” “Your cousin should have called a flight attendant and tell them ‘hands’ to stay on his side,” another suggested. This is just the latest airplane-related snafu to go viral after an off-duty pilot reportedly tried to crash a plane during a bad mushroom trip.

  • Viewers demand Joe Rogan invite Dr Disrespect on JRE podcast for “banger” episode – Dexerto

    Viewers demand Joe Rogan invite Dr Disrespect on JRE podcast for “banger” episode YouTube/Dr Disrespect/Joe RoganFans of Joe Rogan and Dr Disrespect are pushing hard for a JRE podcast episode featuring the two megastars. UFC commentator Joe Rogan’s JRE is the most-watched podcast in the world, where the former Fear Factor host interviews everyone from Elon Musk to Edward Snowden – but he’s never had the two-time on yet. With the Joe Rogan Experience continuing to be a hit with viewers, it’s not uncommon to see fans pitch their own ideas for who would make a good guest, and Dr Disrespect seems to have jumped on that list. In late July, thousands of people voiced their support for Doc to make an appearance on Joe Rogan with many insisting it would be a “banger” of an episode. Fans want Dr Disrespect to go on Joe Rogan podcast In a post going viral on X, Dr Disrespect’s mod ‘SixxTimeDad’ uploaded photos of the two men with the caption, “The interview we deserve.” As expected, it wasn’t long before others commented in agreement, urging Rogan to make the interview a reality. “This would be a banger of an episode,” one said. “I don’t watch podcasts… but I’d have to tune into that one,” remarked another. Others felt that the interview would be better if Dr Disrespect was out of character and instead went on JRE as Guy Beahm instead of the two-time. It’s not often that Doc breaks character, but when he does, it’s always quite interesting, as he will approach a topic in a completely different way than when he’s dominating the competition on stream. So far, there’s no word on if Rogan and Dr Disrespect are in talks. However, back in 2019, the streamer said he would turn down an invite to go on the show, saying that if he were to go on a podcast, he would do it “his way,” which could require “additional resources and funding.” We’ll have to see if this fan demand is enough to sway Doc into picking up the flip phone and giving Rogan a call to see if an interview can come to fruition.
