  • TSM Hamlinz suffers most dramatic VR death ever – Dexerto

    TSM Hamlinz suffers most dramatic VR death ever Fortnite pro player and Twitch streamer Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin is well used to handing out eliminations on the popular battle royale title, but he was on the receiving end of the most dramatic death ever while playing VR games on October 27. Hamlinz is one of the most popular Fortnite players in the world, but often hops on other games during his streams to the delight of his audience, who love to see the American take on various titles, including horror games as the community gears up for Halloween. On Sunday, October 27, the TSM member delved into the world of virtual reality, taking on SUPERHOT, an FPS title that tasks players with surviving an onslaught of slow-motion bullets from an enemy which greatly outnumbers you. SUPERHOT is a slow-motion VR game that brought Hamlinz to his knees – literally! After playing the game for over an hour, Hamlin crouched on the floor with a VR headset strapped to his face began to yellow, firing off his weapon only to realize that he had ran out of bullets. With no weapon to defend himself and intense music from the anime Naruto playing in the background, the streamer grabbed glass bottles in a last-ditch effort to protect himself from bullets and tried to throw them at the bright red enemies who continued to fire at him. With virtual glass smashing, Hamlinz let out a desperate cry of “No, please!” as his character fell to the ground, struck down by his opponents in a final battle. Virtual Reality headsets allow players to really get into the action, with players able to use the technology to look around their surroundings as if they were there in person. This, quite often, leads to incredible moments like this one where those wearing the headset momentarily forget that they’re actually playing a game. For Hamlinz, his adventure in SUPERHOT ended with the most dramatic death you’ll ever see on a VR stream, and a reaction that is certainly worthy of the silver screen, should his career as a Fortnite pro ever take a downturn.

  • TSM Hamlinz reveals reasons for long hiatus from Twitch and YouTube – Dexerto

    TSM Hamlinz reveals reasons for long hiatus from Twitch and YouTube TSM HamlinzTeam SoloMid’s Darryle ‘Fortnite Chapter 2 for the very first time on stream, trying out all of the new features that Epic Games have added with its latest major update. While many of his fans will have been ecstatic to see him return with a stream on October 20, uploaded to his YouTube channel on October 21, titled ‘THE RETURN OF HAMLINZ’, he also had to get serious, and explain why he decided to go dark for a while. Kicking off the video with some funky music and dance moves, the TSM star jumped right in and gave his fans some insight into what’s been happening with his family during his time off. “If you don’t know, and this is a little sad, but if you don’t know, my Grandpa passed away around nine months ago and my Grandma recently had breast cancer,” he said. “Once she got breast cancer bro, it really f**ked me up dude because it made me realize that I wasn’t really over my Grandpa and I legit couldn’t say his name or think about him without crying.” Before this video, the last time he uploaded anything to YouTube was on July 31. Timestamp in the following video at 1:22. He added: “It was that bad. I needed some time by myself to rekindle, get my thoughts together, and get myself together, because I’ve never lost anyone close.” The dedicated Fortnite streamer is now back and ready to play more of Chapter 2, Season 1, with fans expecting to see many Victory Royales from him in the future. Without question, he’ll be hoping for exactly the same thing as well. His teammate Daequan ‘Daequan’ Loco had also taken some time off recently as well, not appearing consistently on YouTube or Twitch until October 7 when he announced his return on Twitter. While it’s been a difficult time for Hamlinz in recent months, he confirmed in the video that his Grandma is now much better in health and it’s great to see that the YouTuber is back entertaining his audience once again – with a smile on his face.

  • TSM Hamlinz instantly regrets using Pokimane for eye-tracker challenge – Dexerto

    TSM Hamlinz instantly regrets using Pokimane for eye-tracker challenge YouTuber and Fortnite streamer TSM Hamlinz took part in the net’s viral eye-tracking challenge – but he quickly realized he’d made a huge mistake by including another internet star. Eye-tracking technology has become a near-viral sensation across the net, with top personalities using the software to “expose” or challenge themselves while watching sensitive clips. With names like YouTube star PewDiePie famously using the tech (which ultimately got him in trouble with streamer Alinity), it makes sense that TSM’s Hamlinz would also take part in the challenge – but his stint ended in a hilariously unexpected turn of events. During his time with the eye-tracking technology, Hamlinz pulled up a clip of fellow streamer Pokimane, who was discussing the whereabouts of her missing underwear after moving. While Hamlinz himself was engaged in her conversation, his chat immediately went into a frenzy, accusing him of using the clip for less-than-savory purposes. “Boys, what the f***!” Hamlinz laughed before pausing the clip. “Okay Pokimane, it was nice talking to you – wait, who is this?” In the interim, he’d scrubbed through the YouTube video he was watching to another clip that featured both Pokimane and OfflineTV’s Lilypichu, who he jokingly flirted with in the spirit of his “pogchamp” chat. “Is that Lilypichu?” he continued. “Oh, sh**. Okay Lily, I see you mami. I need you to slide in my DM’s though, baby girl!” While Hamlinz quickly backed out of the video for fear that his chat would implode, Pokimane wasn’t the only internet star against whom he tested his might: the streamer likewise watched a video from fitness model Sommer Ray, laughing all the while. “This sh** is stressful!” he joked, before returning to his video about Pokimane and attempting to distract himself by watching her pet cat, rather than looking at the streamer, herself. Funny enough, Pokimane also undertook an eye-tracker challenge in September, which led to an equally hilarious attempt at avoiding borderline ban-worthy clips – and even a moment where she broke down in awe of another streamer’s unique “abilities.” There’s no doubt about it: eye-tracking tech can lead to some highly entertaining streams, even if they end up embarrassing the streamers using the software.

  • TSM Hamlinz latest streamer to be hacked by racist trolls – Dexerto

    TSM Hamlinz latest streamer to be hacked by racist trolls TSM_HamlinzTSM member and Fortnite streamer Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin was hacked on Twitter on August 29, becoming the latest streamer to have their account compromised. Hamlinz’ Twitter account was taken over by hackers who call themselves the “Chuckling Squad” on August 29, and they immediately began posting links to their discord and asking for follows. One thing in common with all the hacks in 2019 so far have been they all ask for follows almost right away. Immediately after posting the links, the hackers started mentioning other streamers, like Pokimane and Ninja, and sending inflammatory messages to them. “Ayyy @TSM_Myth done piped Pokimane!” read one of many tweets. The hackers also began spamming racial slurs in many of their tweets. With cases like this, they are usually resolved pretty quickly but considering how late in the day Hamlinz streams, it’s entirely possible has wasn’t even awake when the hack happened. For what it’s worth, the hackers appear to have a dark sense of humor as they had a cheeky response to someone asking if Hamlinz had been hacked. “No shit sherlock,” they said to the question. The hackers engaged with a lot of back and forth between fans of Hamlinz who were trying to stick up for him. This latest hack comes exactly a month after Fortnite World Cup winner Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf had his Twitter and Twitch both hacked immediately after his big win. Bugha was able to get to Instagram to explain that it wasn’t him on Twitter but Hamlinz has yet to do so, and it doesn’t really seem like he has to since it’s so clear. Ninja, Shroud and James Charles have also been targeted by hackers in recent weeks. Sadly, Hamlinz is just the latest victim in the long line of hacks we have seen in 2019. We will keep you update on Hamlinz Twitter hack as more information becomes available.

  • TSM Hamlinz and Daequan disappear from Twitch and social media again – Dexerto

    TSM Hamlinz and Daequan disappear from Twitch and social media again YouTube: Daequan / TSMPopular streamers and Team SoloMid members Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin and Daequan ‘Daequan‘ Loco have thousands of loyal fans across the globe, but both men have gone silent on Twitch and social media since the start of the new year. Both Hamlinz and Daequan became massive names on Twitch thanks to their prowess on popular battle royale title Fortnite. They competed under the TSM banner as they looked to cement their place at the top of the game’s competitive mountain while growing a massive fanbase through their streams. The duo eventually moved away from the esports worlds, becoming full-time content creators for the legendary organization, but once again the pair have disappeared from social media, leaving fans in the dark regarding the reasons for the absence, and when they may return to streaming. Where are TSM Daequan and Hamlinz? Fans of the pair have been starved of content from the pair, with TSM Hamlinz last streaming back on December 25, when he played Fortnite. Ending his stream, the 24-year-old thanked his viewers for their support, telling them he would see them the next stream. After telling his Twitter followers that he was “having a pretty bad Christmas Eve,” the streamer continued to tweet sporadically until December 31, but has been silent on the social media platform since. Honestly i’m having a pretty bad Christmas Eve, dealing with some stuff and I’m really sad right now. If I stream tonight it will be later if I feel better, hope you guys understand.. send some love please ?? — Hamlinz ? (@TSM_Hamlinz) December 25, 2019 This isn’t the first time that Hamlinz has taken a break, originally disappearing in early 2019 when he suffered health issues involving a cyst, and then going dark again from August until October. He explained how the passing of his grandfather, and the news that his grandmother had been diagnosed with breast cancer, forced him to take time away to “rekindle and get [his] thoughts together.” Daequan has taken a number of sabbaticals from streaming and content creation as he suffered from issues involving back pain that made it difficult for him to sit behind a desk and entertain for hours on end. In a statement released on December 6, 2019, the 25-year-old admitted that he had been through “so much b.s.” in the year, and had taken time off to focus on his own physical and mental health, along with the wellbeing of girlfriend and editor Exie. The streamer had said that he would be getting back into the swing of things as the year ended, and intended to be fully back by January 2020. The American streamed on December 26, but hasn’t gone live on the platform since, and last tweeted on January 2 when he posted a message saying: “Don’t let your comfort zone hold you back anymore. It’s a box that you put yourself in that prevents your own growth.” In 2020 don’t let your comfort zone hold you back anymore. It’s a box that you put yourself in that prevents your own growth. — Daequan (@TSM_Daequan) January 2, 2020 When will Hamlinz and Daequan return? At the moment, there has been no word from either man about a possible return, and with their social media accounts seemingly not being used, it’s uncertain when we’ll receive an update. TSM have also refrained from explaining their absences, or providing a likely date for their reappearance. For now, we’ll all have to keep an eye on their Twitter and Twitch accounts, and wait for word directly from the men themselves. There’s even a chance that the break means that something big is coming soon. With hoards of loyal fans, the likable streamers are sorely missed whenever they take a break. However, the grind of daily streaming can often become difficult for content creators to keep up with and a number of the biggest names in the space have talked openly about how important it is to take a break and reset when needed.

  • TSM Hamlinz finally breaks Twitter silence after four-months away – Dexerto

    TSM Hamlinz finally breaks Twitter silence after four-months away TSM HamlinzHamlinz has been missing in action for quite some time, but the beloved Fortnite streamer has finally broken his silence on Twitter on Oct. 25, and let the world know he is back and feeling good. [jwplayer KNn4SaTi] Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin was once a pillar in the streaming world. He shot to fame while streaming Fortnite during its peak, and his popularity rose even more after he joined Team Solo Mid. However, the beloved streamer has been on the down-low for several months now; in fact, he has been silent on social media for most of the year. Hamlinz tweeted every now and then between January and March, and even streamed a couple of times. But he was far less active than he used to be, and hadn’t posted at all since July. Many speculated he might have been on another hiatus. The first one happened when he needed some time off to deal with a nasty cyst. The second one happened not long after when he needed some time to deal with personal issues. Hamlinz is back and feeling like his old self again Thankfully, he bounced back on both those occasions, and it seems like he’s bounced back once again. The full extent of what happened this time around remains unclear. However, the most important thing is that Hamlinz has finally broken his silence on social media. “Feeling like my old self again,” he wrote. It’s a little more than one hour old, but the tweet has already amassed 50,000 likes, 6,5000 retweets, and 6,000 comments. The hype is real, and for a good reason. Hamlinz is one of the most entertaining, likable, and talented streamers in the world. Plus, it’s always nice to see people recover from whatever issues they’re facing and get back on their own two feet. The comments are filled with people happy to see him back. “Finally something good in 2020,” wrote one fan. “Hamlinz is BACK BABY,” wrote another. Sadly, Hamlinz has remained tight-lipped on whether he will stream again anytime soon. However, considering he is feeling like his old self again, it could mean that a stream might not be too far away. Either way, there’s no doubt that it will be a momentous occasion. If the excitement in the comments is anything to go by, the floodgates will open and his fans, followers, and viewers will come pouring in. Hamlinz has more than five million followers across Twitch, Twitter, and Youtube. It seems all the time off hasn’t dampened his popularity in the slightest.

  • TSM drop Fortnite pro Cowboy following accusations by underage streamer – Dexerto

    TSM drop Fortnite pro Cowboy following accusations by underage streamer TSM, Epic GamesIn response to accusations of inappropriate interactions with an underage female streamer, popular esports organization Team SoloMid have released professional Fortnite player Noah ‘Cowboy’ Cmiel. Popular Twitch streamer ‘Faith’ came forward with the accusations in a broadcast on March 2, where she showed inappropriate messages allegedly sent from Cowboy to a 16-year-old girl. “Imagine messaging a 16-year-old girl when you’re married,” Faith said of the debacle. “Imagine you’re on TSM and you message an underage girl saying, ‘Looking good.’” According to Twitch streamer Faith, TSM pro Fortnite player Cowboy, whom is married, sent inappropriate messages to an underage female streamer. Speaking to the streamer, who wants to remain anonymous, she was made uncomfortable. Cowboy has since deleted his twitter and discord. pic.twitter.com/7PmRvfsl4U — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) March 6, 2019 In the messages, Cowboy allegedly sent the streamer an invite to his private Discord server, as well as told her that she “looked good” – complete with a winky face. After Faith’s accusations went live, esports analyst Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau contacted the underage streamer, who wished to remain anonymous, claiming that she was made “uncomfortable” by the interaction. Yesterday Cowboy was officially released and is no longer affiliated with us. — TSM (@TSM) March 6, 2019 TSM later released Cowboy from their ranks – although no comments were made as to the nature of his expulsion from the team. Cowboy has since made a statement on the matter via his offline Twitch chat, asking his fans to take the accusations with a grain of salt and denying any claims of being a pedophile. Cowboy has made a statement in his offline Twitch chat pic.twitter.com/obz8v5US1W — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) March 6, 2019 “Please don’t believe everything you read on the internet,” Cowboy wrote. “I am not married and have hired a lawyer to clear my name. I am not allowed to talk about anything, but I am not a pedophile.” Cowboy has deleted his Twitter account and Discord server in light of the allegations. UPDATE: The president of TSM, Leena Xu, released a statement on the matter via Twitter on March 7, claiming that she reached out both the underage streamer and Faith in regards to the scandal. If he wants to defend himself publicly, that’s not my battle since we are terminated. I’m purely speaking about our contract resolution that fans seem to not believe is possible. — Leena Xu (@leena_xu) March 7, 2019 She then brought evidence of the messages to Cowboy’s lawyer, later terminating his contract.

  • TSM Daequean & Hamlinz post cryptic update after new YouTube channel appears – Dexerto

    TSM Daequean & Hamlinz post cryptic update after new YouTube channel appears Twitter: GFUEL/TSMTSM streamers Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin and Daequan ‘Daequan’ Loco have been absent from streams and videos for quite some time, and now ‘missing’ posters have been spotted around LA. The pair of Hamlinz and Daequan once took over Twitch in their own unique ways. Hamlinz was top-tier when it came to Fortnite, duo’ing with the likes of Tfue as he impressed with his skills. However, the two TSM content creators have been inactive from streams, and the internet as a whole, for quite some time. They’ve infrequently dropped tweets updating fans on their health and teasing returns to streaming, but the latter just hasn’t happened. Yet, something could be in the works as some fans have started to connect the dots between the pair and a new YouTube channel called Find the Streamers. Cryptic tweets on Twitter Perhaps the biggest clue of the pair’s return, has come in the form of these cryptic twitter posts. Although nothing has been confirmed, it’s safe to say that a return might be coming soon… New YouTube channel for Hamlinz & Daequan? While many streamers have attempted to get the pair to hop back in front of a camera, those attempts have proven fruitless. Though, on August 23, it was reported that people had started to spot ‘missing’ posters for the pair around Los Angeles. The posters, which feature a picture of the duo, come complete with a simple question: Have you seen these streamers? Neither Daequan nor Hamlinz names are mentioned, but there is a YouTube logo and the phrase ‘Find the Streamers.’ A quick search returns a channel that was created on August 12 with the same name and a banner picture that matches the one from the poster. So, fans have quickly suggested that they must be planning a grand return with the new channel. Of course, that’s purely speculation at this point, but it might not be too wild a suggestion. It was confirmed in late 2020 that the pair had moved in together, so a new joint venture would make sense. As of writing, there are no videos on the channel, but it has racked up a few thousand subscribers. Sadly, there aren’t any other links that play into other clues about what might be going, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

  • TSM Daequan catches Hamlinz red-handed in hilarious clip – Dexerto

    TSM Daequan catches Hamlinz red-handed in hilarious clip Hamlinz / TwitchTSM’s Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin learnt an important lesson during a recent Twitch stream – never talk about your housemate without looking over your shoulder to check the coast is clear first! As part of TSM’s Fortnite roster, the 23-year-old currently resides in the California team house with the likes of Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani and Daequan Loco. Unfortunately for Hamlinz, the one time he decided to brag about beating Daequan in a 1 vs 1 happened to coincide with his teammate being stood directly behind him, and the other TSM man wasn’t about to take that lying down! Daequan sauntered into Hamlinz’ room to perform a Fortnite dance in the background of the stream at the exact moment that Hamlinz stated “I already beat Daequan in a 1 vs 1.” “Bitch, when?! Bitch when?! What you talking about? don’t be lying!” exclaimed Daequan, scaring Hamlinz half to death and nearly making him fall out of his chair in surprise: The banter between the TSM stars continued once Hamlinz had regained some composure, with him saying “I beat him in a horse, okay, 1 vs 1 he broke my neck, but I got him in horse buddy. That’s a 1 vs 1, I didn’t get specific!” We’re not entirely sure what ‘horse’ is (perhaps the basketball variation), but the hilarious moment quickly made its way to Reddit and we’re sure that Hamlinz will be watching his six intently the next time he makes any comments about his teammates! Hamlinz is both a content creator and competitive Fortnite player for Team SoloMid and has built an impressive fanbase of just under 1.3 million followers on Twitch and 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. All the TSM players are at the top of their game, but part of being a pro player is believing that you are the best there is; even better than your teammates.

  • TSM Daequan almost “knocks out” Myth during VR boxing match – Dexerto

    TSM Daequan almost “knocks out” Myth during VR boxing match TSM’s Daequan Loco nearly gave his teammate Ali “Myth” Kabbani a stone cold knockout, thanks to his antics during a heated session of a VR boxing game. Fans of Daequan and Myth know the pair for their hilarious shenanigans, who are both under Team SoloMid as Fortnite streamers and content creators. While the two are best known for their Fortnite streams, the two also delve into a variety of other games during their broadcasts – one of which, for Daequan, was a virtual reality boxing title called “Thrill of the Fight.” Daequan, who recently announced big plans for 2020 in wake of a sporadic year of content creation, donned his Oculus Rift headset and stepped into the digital ring, throwing jabs left and right in an attempt to down his virtual opponent. However, it was during his game that Myth snuck into Daequan’s room, jokingly poking fun at his roommate by pretending to face off with him in front of the camera – all while Daequan was stuck inside the game. With Daequan unable to see Myth directly in front of him, he continued to whale away at his opponent, and nearly caught his housemate with a right hook in the process, who almost tumbled over the side of his bed after being knocked off balance by the near-blow. Myth’s shocked expression paints a clear picture that he narrowly avoided catching an actual punch to the face – a fact that Daequan didn’t realize until a full day later. https://twitter.com/TSM_Daequan/status/1204888991721377793?s=20 “I almost knocked out Myth IRL,” he wrote, publishing a clip from his stream to Twitter that Myth promptly retweeted. Daequan’s return to Twitch streaming follows his heartfelt announcement a few days prior, where he opened up about the loss of family members and friends in his life, as well as dealing with health issues, which hampered his ability to stream. Now, the content creator is looking forward to a successful 2020 – although we hope he doesn’t end up knocking out any of his teammates, in the interim.

  • TSM Daequan ambushes Hamlinz for roasting him on stream – Dexerto

    TSM Daequan ambushes Hamlinz for roasting him on stream TSM Hamlinz / DaequanTSM’s Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin and Daequan ‘Daequan’ Loco had a hilarious back and forth over the latter’s hairline, which resulted in the pair “fighting” on stream. Hamlinz and Daequan were among the earliest Fortnite Battle Royale players to be signed to a professional team for after signing with TeamSoloMid back on February 3 2018 alongside Myth and CaMiLLs to make up their original roster. The TSM pro players quick made a name for themselves as fan favorites among the community due to their highly entertaining streams on Twitch, amassing a huge following on the platform. Hamlinz and Daequan joined TSM alongside Myth. In one of TSM Hamlinz’ recent Twitch streams, he began roasting his teammate Daequan’s hairline after seeing it in a TSM YouTube video, saying “Look how high this hat is and you still got no hair showing.” Hamlinz was in a fit of laughter when Daequan walked into his room to confront him, obviously aware that he was being roasted on stream, the pair then went back and forth with Hamlinz denying he said anything before Daequan said, “Get that shit off your screen.” Despite apologizing to Daequan, Hamlinz still found himself being tackled to the ground and started screaming out for out for his mom while Daequan was hitting him, saying “Momma I love you!” Daequan then jokingly pretended to be Hamlinz’ dad telling him to clean his room before leaving, “Don’t you ever do that shit again… clean your goddamn room.” This was not the first time that Hamlinz and Daequan have gone back and forth, as Daequan’s hairline seems to be a continuous target for teammate Hamlinz. After everything had calmed down, Hamlinz summed up the experience by simply saying “Daddy got mad” and telling viewers to forget they saw anything. The pair are currently staying in the TSM content house in Los Angeles, California, while the rest of the roster has moved out to Dallas, Texas to compete in the World Cup qualifiers. It is no surprise that this TSM duo has seen so much success so far in their careers, streaming their comical interactions with each other on Twitch.

  • TSM announce Pokelawls signing with throwback video – Dexerto

    TSM announce Pokelawls signing with throwback video TSM / Instagram: Pokelawls[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV] One of Twitch’s biggest streamers, Pokelawls, has signed with esports and entertainment giant TSM — and the announcement video of them joining forces is nothing less than throwback gold. Pokelawls is an extremely popular personality on Twitch, boasting well over 670,000 followers on the live streaming platform due to his hilarious in-game antics and humorous collaborations with other broadcasters. First beginning his full-time streaming career in 2013, Poke has been on the internet for quite some time and amassed an eyebrow-raising following on other social media platforms like YouTube, where he sports an equally impressive 255,000 subscribers. That’s not all; despite keeping his personal life largely under wraps, the Canadian influencer also features his mother from time to time during his streams, adding a wholesome flair to his over-the-top gaming content. And the dubs just keep rolling in. Welcome to TSM, @pokelawls 🤝 📺: https://t.co/O8AYRc8wwP pic.twitter.com/3D46QT9aA2— TSM (@TSM) September 7, 2020 Considering other massive entertainers signed to TSM, like streamers Myth and Greekgodx, it makes perfect sense that Poke would be a fitting addition to their ranks — but such a huge signing has to come with an equally bombastic announcement video. TSM announced their newest content creator in a YouTube video on September 7, which showed the streamer appearing to begin a regular broadcast before being literally sucked into the world of online gaming. In a throwback sequence, Poke found himself quite literally inside a game of Overwatch as Genji, — another fitting decision, considering the streamer became well-known for streaming Blizzard’s popular FPS. Not long after his stint in the Overwatch universe during the announcement video, Poke then found himself transported into the Grand Theft Auto world, another game he’s been known for streaming — particularly, within its online roleplaying (GTA RP) community. At the end of the video, Poke magically dons a TSM jersey, sealing the deal with his new organization, who appears equally as jazzed to have him on board. While there’s no telling what kind of antics the “Man Among Frogs” will be getting into in the near future, it’s quite clear that fans are excited to see what’s next for the broadcaster after becoming a part of one of gaming entertainment and esports’ biggest groups.

    TSM CEO calls OpTic a “dead brand” amid feud with Di3sel Liquipedia / Nothing But GeekTeam SoloMid CEO Andy Dinh made some strong comments about OpTic Gaming during a public spat with longtime member Mike ‘Di3sel’ Carr. In today’s world of ultra-competitive esports, it’s not uncommon for rival organizations to butt heads in a public forum like social media. What is uncommon, however, is when top and prominent members of said organizations decide to take things a step further and start taking personal shots at each other. Such was the case when Dinh, known as Reginald on Twitter, and Di3sel became embroiled in a vicious public feud, stemming from an apparent incident between the two that had taken place at a party on June 10. Di3sel was the first to strike, posting a GIF of a laughing man in an attempt to mock the TSM CEO, who replied to the tweet with a pretty shocking statement, calling the OpTic man a “has been,” and their organization a “dead brand.” Ninja wins $19,000 rock-paper-scissors game against Gotaga “Your friend was drunk and aggressive,” he wrote. “She spilled alcohol on us, but instead yelled at us. Most people who spill drinks on others generally apologize. Don’t think you should blindly defend your friend publicly and call me out to cause drama without giving context.” “Brother, I don’t call people out ever,” Di3sel replied. “But if you’re going to flex on some shit, better believe. I know for a fact she wasn’t aggressive. She is passive af [as f*ck]. You trying to flex some shit is some bullshit.” “Pray we don’t get our shit back so you can keep mouthing off and flexing you ‘should, woulda, coulda,’” he tweeted. Dinh has not responded to the latest few tweets against him, and we will continue to bring you the latest on this feud if he does indeed reply.

    Try Guys Zach trolls viewers with “important update” on drama TikTok/KornDiddyThe Try Guys’ Zach Kornfeld poked fun at the drama surrounding the YouTube collective by offering up an “important update” on the situation. In late September, the usually drama-free world of the Try Guys – a popular YouTube group that partakes in challenge videos – was thrust into the spotlight for more than just a viral meme. Internet detectives had accused one member, Ned Fulmer, of infidelity, with many noting that he had started disappearing from videos and other pieces of content. The YouTube group eventually confirmed those rumors, with Fulmer being dismissed from the collective and stating that he was taking time to focus on his family. While there have been some updates on the situation since, most notably Fulmer’s dismissal, things have settled down just a bit – outside of the SNL skit about things, that is. Try Guys Zach trolls fans with “important update” on drama So, when Try Guy’s Zach offered up an “important update” about things on TikTok, fans naturally flocked to see what was going on. Though, despite the teasing caption, it wasn’t exactly a statement. Instead, the video showed the Try Guys member getting a new dishwasher – and it’s safe to say he was pretty pleased about it too. The video has, naturally, gone viral amongst fans and everyone else who is obsessed with the drama, racking up over 4.4 million views and almost 1 million likes.

Over the last few years, Becky Habersberger (Keith’s wife) and the other partners of Try Guys members have made up the ‘Try Wives,’ and have provided content separate from the Try Guys. Allegations that Ned Fulmer cheated on his wife began taking over the internet on September 27, however, prompting his swift release from the group, leading to various members staying rather quiet about the situation. On October 6, Becky posted videos on her ‘Becksmecks2’ TikTok account regarding the situation.

In less than 24 hours after it was uploaded, the video has been viewed over 5.4 million times. (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Her video even prompted Try Guys member Eugene Lee Yang to return to TikTok with a duet of her video. In it, he pours two glasses of wine while staring at the camera. (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) She apparently uploaded another video with more details, but it’s since been deleted. In another upload, she explains that she deleted it because she received a “genuine apology” from whoever it was about. However, she had a message to share: “The things that you put on the internet are there, and they’re there forever… and people see them. Real people see them.” (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) It’s unknown when or if the Try Wives will release their next podcast episode, or even if the next episode will talk about the recent drama.

  • Ned Fulmer dismissed from Try Guys amid viral cheating allegations – Dexerto

    Ned Fulmer dismissed from Try Guys amid viral cheating allegations Instagram: nedfulmerNed Fulmer, a member of popular YouTube collective ‘the Try Guys,’ has been expelled from the group amid allegations that he cheated on his wife, Ariel Fulmer, in a viral internet thread. The Try Guys are some of YouTube’s most prominent content creators… but their usually drama-free channel is rife with speculation as accusations of infidelity swarm the internet. The group, comprised of members Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang, are generally known for trying a variety of different things and experiences (hence the name), from period pain simulators to making pies without a recipe. However, one member of the gang was seemingly absent from their latest haul of first-tries — and fans noticed almost immediately. Viewers couldn’t help but note that Ned Fulmer was apparently absent from the Try Guys’ last three YouTube videos and podcast episodes, although he is still present in their group photos and promotional material. That’s not all; Eagle-eyed fans also noticed that Fulmer’s wife, Ariel, was missing from the two latest episodes of ‘You Can Sit With Us,’ a podcast helmed by the Try Guys’ wives. The Try Guys have also reduced the amount of content they’re currently producing, recently announcing that they will upload one video a week throughout the month of October. Who is Alexandria Herring? Try Guys cheating scandal goes viral Now, internet detectives are connecting the dots to screenshots of texts provided by a Reddit user who claims he saw Fulmer cheating on his wife with one of the Try Guys’ producers and star of ‘Food Babies,’ Alexandria Herring. The screenshots show videos purportedly taken at a New York Club that show Fulmer and Herring purportedly “making out.” 7) A Reddit user (hamilton390) claims they caught Ned doing something bad. When another user asked for proof this is what they sent: pic.twitter.com/bpNkYGgeuM — Cami (@camitwomeyy) September 27, 2022 Herring’s fiancee, Will Thayer, allegedly removed all his photos with her on Instagram and purportedly unfollowed her, although his account is now private. These allegations are still unconfirmed — but that isn’t stopping Try Guys fans from dropping their jaws in shock over the situation online, with many commenters rushing to Fulmer’s Instagram account asking him to “speak up right now.” Try Guys respond to viral Ned Fulmer cheating allegations Shortly after the accusations took over social media, the Try Guys officially announced that they had expelled Ned Fulmer from the group “as a result of a thorough internal review.” “We do not see a path forward together,” their statement reads. “We thank you for your support as we navigate this change.” Ned Fulmer responds to cheating allegations amid Try Guys expulsion Shortly afterward, Fulmer published a separate statement to his social media accounts, where he claimed he’d “lost focus” from his family and had “a consensual workplace relationship.” “I’m sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans, but most of all to Ariel,” he wrote. “The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I’m going to focus my attention.” Ariel also posted a statement speaking on the current situation, similarly thanking their fans and asking for privacy for their family during this time. This is just the latest influencer-related cheating scandal to capture the internet following the ongoing feud between Addison Rae’s parents, Monty Lopez and Sheri Easterling.

  • Try Guys’ Keith Habersberger and wife Becky shock fans with baby news – Dexerto

    Try Guys’ Keith Habersberger and wife Becky shock fans with baby news Instagram: Keith Habersberger, Becky HabersbergerThe Try Guys member Keith Habersberger and his wife Becky Habersberger shocked fans on social media on September 24 as they announced that they have become parents. The Try Guys are some of YouTube’s most prominent content creators with over eight million subscribers on the platform. The group, comprised of members Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang, is generally known for trying a variety of different things and experiences (hence the name), from period pain simulators to making pies without a recipe. Outside the channel, fans are obsessed with founding member Keith Habersberger and his Try Wife Becky Habersberger as their relationship often is described as #goals. On their sixth wedding anniversary on Sunday, September 24, the couple shocked fans as they posted the same photo on Instagram, revealing that they have become parents. The photo showed the two standing together with an infant cradled in Keith’s arms. In true hard launch fashion, their captions — “Baby baby” and “Hey baby” — were clear and concise yet somehow also cryptic. Fans were shocked when they saw the post and quickly took to the comments to express their surprise while also sending their congratulations to the new parents. One person said: “Woah woah woah woah, did Becky and Keith Habersberger from the try guys just hard launch a BABY?????” “Wait who’s baby is this? Did you guys Kylie Jenner us?” another user wrote on Becky’s post. “Or is this just a fun picture with someone’s baby? Lol.” “Sir you can’t just drop this and expect me not to scream??? Is this baby yours??? Whose baby is this?? I need context you’re stressing me out,” a third user commented on Keith’s post. The baby news came about a year after former Try Guys member Ned Fulmer was dismissed from the viral internet group after a video went viral of him cheating on his wife with one of his Try Guys employees.

  • Try Guys address Ned Fulmer drama after removing him from company: “We had no idea” – Dexerto

    Try Guys address Ned Fulmer drama after removing him from company: “We had no idea” YouTube: The Try GuysThe Try Guys have put out a new YouTube video outlining the recent Ned Fulmer situation and how they plan on moving forward without him in the team. After news that Try Guys manager Ned Fulmer had been cheating on his wife Ariel Fulmer was made known to the public, Ned was soon let go from the company. In a brand new video called ‘what happened’, Try Guys trio Eugene Lee Yang, Zach Kornfeld, and Keith Habersberger spoke about the recent news of Ned’s cheating scandal and subsequent dismissal. Straight out of the gates, Zach reiterated to viewers that, “Ned Fulmer is no longer working with the Try Guys” and that this video will serve as a “timeline of what’s transpired” as well as provide some “transparency into [their] decision making” in regards to Fulmer’s dismissal. However, Zach did state that there are certain pieces of information they won’t be disclosing yet due to the legality of the matter. Keith then took over, providing a recount of when and how the three Try Guys first found out that Ned was having an affair. “On Labour day weekend, multiple fans had alerted us that they had seen Ned and an employee engaging in public romantic behavior,” began Habersgerger. They then brought up the matter with Ned who confirmed that the affair had been going on “for quite some time”, news that Keith described as “shocking.” The three then talked about how – after consulting with lawyers, HR reps, and their PR team – they made the decision to move forward with The Try Guys without Ned. Eugene then explained how “contrary” Ned’s actions were “to the values of the company [they’ve] built and of those of everyone who works here.” “We refused to sweep things under the rug. That is not who we are and is not what we stand for.” The decision to dismiss Ned was made on September 16, 2022. Ned was then removed from all Try Guys content – something eagle-eyed fans had noticed and been pointing out in these past weeks – with the team now also working out “creative ways” to have Ned removed from all future content. This includes the new season of ‘without a recipe’ as well as any other videos the team had recorded ahead of time. And while the three made it clear that they do not in any way condone Ned’s actions, they do acknowledge how saddened they are both “personally” and “on behalf of staff and fans who believed in us.” “It’s hard to rewatch old videos we love and are proud of,” Zach added. “We’re losing a friend, we’re losing someone we built the company with, we have countless memories with.” Before wrapping up the five-minute-long explainer video, Keither thanked the family and staff members who have helped the three of them “navigate” the situation, expressing gratitude for the support they have been offered in this time. The trio then asked their viewers and community to “respect the privacy of the family members and employees who may be caught up in this,” with Eugene adding that “the internet has a tendency to be a lot harsher towards women than men. So please, we ask that you exercise kindness.” Finally, Zach ended the video by labeling this moment as an “opportunity for positive growth” for the Try Guys brand, promising that they will be revealing more details in the future about Ned. That there is new content on the way and that there will likely be big “changes” coming to the channel.

  • Try Guys fans are outraged after insensitive SNL skit downplays Ned Fulmer scandal – Dexerto

    Try Guys fans are outraged after insensitive SNL skit downplays Ned Fulmer scandal SNLSaturday Night Live, the late-night comedy show, has released a skit mocking The Try Guys following the dismissal of Ned Fulmer. Viewers have responded in anger, calling SNL out for siding with Ned on the exposed affair he was having with an employee. The Try Guys, a well-loved group of adventurous YouTubers, have been updating their viewers about the ongoing difficulties that have come from dismissing creator Ned Fulmer following an affair with an employee. While specific details have been sparse, the group has been open about the emotional and frustrating positions they have been placed in. This has included several updates from the team as a whole and the deeply personal response from single members like Becky Habersberger, Keith’s wife. Keith and Zack also spoke about some of their struggles in their most recent TryPod podcast episode. While there has been a wide range of reactions for Ned’s dismissal, most were impressed with how swiftly and professionally The Try Guys dealt with the matter. In the age of the “Me Too” movement, seeing a company take swift action was surprising and refreshing. While it was confirmed the affair was consensual, Ned’s position as an Executive Producer marked a clear power imbalance that made the relationship inappropriate. The affair also violated the company’s moral views, making Ned’s dismissal the only course of action. SNL ruthlessly mocks The Try Guys in “comedy” skit While SNL is known for poking fun at many types of current events, a skit uploaded to the Saturday Night Live YouTube channel took viewers by surprise. The skit starts with a “CNN broadcast”, where a “reporter” is seen preparing to give updates on the president outside the Whitehouse. However, it takes an alarming turn shortly into the video, cutting to a recreation of the recent Try Guys video called “what happened.”. The actors portraying Eugene, Zack, and Keith exaggerate the emotional and vulnerable responses that were aired in the original video, while also mocking their careers and content. The video becomes especially cringy as the “CNN Anchor” Laura Fields seems to persistently side with Ned Fulmer, offering lines like “I’m sorry, why is that heinous” and “Bro, Jay-Z cheated on Beyoncé, it’s going to be okay”. Viewers in the comments were not impressed with the skit, with one stating “Shoutout to Ned’s college friends for writing this skit that downplays him cheating on his wife with a subordinate and makes the other guys look ridiculous for actually correctly handling a clear company/hr violation.” while another adds “Even an old fart like me, who thinks most Internet drama is something very silly, recognizes that this situation wasn’t just two coworkers canoodling at a concert. It was a business owner having a long-term affair with a subordinate, which means their entire corporation has now been opened up to potential legal repercussions.” Another viewer comments, “I love that SNL is essentially mocking a group of men for taking sexual misconduct at work seriously and actually firing someone for it. It started off funny but it really went downhill when it became apparent what a toxic take they had on the whole thing. SNL really missed the mark on this one and should be embarrassed to have posted it on YouTube.” With most of the replies to the video filled with outrage, it is clear that many SNL viewers did not find the unflattering portrayals funny or situationally sensitive.

  • TrueGeordie thinks one thing could stop McGregor from beating Khabib at UFC 229 – Dexerto

    TrueGeordie thinks one thing could stop McGregor from beating Khabib at UFC 229 YouTuber and internet sportscaster Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis uploaded his reaction to Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s September 20 press conference, where he made an early prediction concerning their upcoming fight. Geordie felt that McGregor could suffer from his high emotions surrounding their match, noting his tenacity towards Khabib during the conference. “I’ve never seen him like this,” Geordie remarked. “I think this is the most emotional I’ve ever seen him. That might not help him.” While he noted McGregor’s emotional state, he made sure to point out that McGregor is generally ‘stone-cold’ during fights, and predicted that he would keep a clear head during their bout on October 6. “The fights, he’s normally stone-cold,” Geordie stated. “I think on the night he will be stone-cold, but right now he’s fucking emotional.” McGregor accused Khabib of being cowardly during the conference, citing his opponent’s refusal to fight him after McGregor attacked his bus in a parking lot in early April. However, that event didn’t mark the beginning of their feud – Khabib had a heated altercation with McGregor’s sparring partner, Artem Lobov, just a few days prior to the bus attack, which ended up inciting the incident. McGregor stated that he would see Khabib gone ‘in the name of the Russian people,’ and made sure to advertise his own brand of whiskey, to boot. While Geordie felt that McGregor had won the verbal spat, he also stated that he respected Khabib as a fighter, and would give a full prediction closer to the fight’s occurrence on October 6.

  • Trump praises the NELK boys: “You’ve done a great job” – Dexerto

    Trump praises the NELK boys: “You’ve done a great job” FULL SENDFormer US President Donald Trump has praised the NELK Boys and their FULL SEND podcast after making his second guest appearance on the show. The NELK Boys — a group of Canadian YouTubers — have made waves on the internet with their content over the years. Notably, the group is known for their pranks and extravagant vlogs, but they’ve also built an audience for creating one of the biggest podcasts in the world: FULL SEND. The FULL SEND podcast has featured numerous high-profile celebrities, including the likes of Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg, and controversially, Donald Trump. The group first sat down with the former US President back in March 2022, although the episode was quickly removed by YouTube after 24 hours after already racking up over 6 million views. Returning for his second guest appearance on the FULL SEND podcast, Trump has praised the YouTubers for doing a great job with their platform. US President Trump praises YouTubers the NELK Boys In the April 20 episode, the former President of the United States noted that his political party is waiting for him to speak in the room across the hall – meanwhile, he’s sitting down with the NELK Boys. Trump then went on to give recognition to the YouTubers, explaining the last time he was on their podcast, he received phone calls claiming it was the best show he’s done in decades. “They [Republican Party] don’t realize that the NELK boys are probably a lot more powerful than them,” said Trump. “I can tell you when I did your last show – when I did that show, I got more calls from people I haven’t heard from in 20 years saying that was the greatest show. So, you’ve done a great job fellas.” Timestamp at 34:21 He continued: “It’s true, right across the hall you have the most powerful people in the nation, you have the most powerful governors, senators, you have everybody waiting for me to speak, and here I am sitting with you, not saying to hurry up, because you’re the NELK boys.” While the last show with the former President was quickly removed from YouTube, the latest episode still remains on the platform at the time of writing.

  • TrueGeordie makes surprising prediction ahead of Khabib vs McGregor fight – Dexerto

    TrueGeordie makes surprising prediction ahead of Khabib vs McGregor fight YouTuber and internet sportscaster Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis broke down the specifics of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor’s current feud, and made a major prediction ahead of their upcoming fight. While Geordie has been accused of a bias toward McGregor, he denied these claims, and even went on to say that Khabib could have the advantage over his opponent – but ultimately believed that McGregor has the upper hand. While he noted that Khabib’s strength as a wrestler was nothing to sniff at, he likewise held that Khabib’s weakness in the ring was one that McGregor could cleanly exploit. Although Khabib is a competent wrestler, their fight will begin standing up – where he feels McGregor has the ultimate advantage. “In terms of Khabib… he’s at an automatic disadvantage,” he said. “The fight starts standing up, which is McGregor’s game, and in that game, Khabib is basic.” Geordie even held that wrestlers have the advantage over strikers, but he didn’t underestimate McGregor’s ability. “In my opinion, a wrestler does beat a striker, unless the striker is competent enough to keep the fight standing long enough to hurt the wrestler,” he stated. However, he also noted that either competitor could make it out on top, and argued that each fighter’s weaknesses were the other’s strengths. “It just depends on who can cover those weaknesses better to assert their strengths,” he stated. The two fighters will throw down on October 6, just four days after Geordie’s prediction. While the two had a fairly heated press conference, Khabib remains steadfast in the face of McGregor’s fiery personality – but the true winner has yet to be determined.

  • TrueGeordie Rages at Boxing Fans Who Complain About the KSI vs Logan Paul Fight – Dexerto

    TrueGeordie Rages at Boxing Fans Who Complain About the KSI vs Logan Paul Fight TrueGeordie is tired of hearing boxing fans complain about the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing match. He aired his frustrations in a new video that defends what the YouTubers were able to accomplish. Some boxing fans were upset that two untrained fighters in KSI and Paul received so much attention for their fight. TrueGeordie believes that boxing followers are upset due to jealousy The only reason boxing fans are genuinely getting annoyed is because that event has done better, and will do better, than most actual boxing events. He does agree that YouTubers out selling real boxers is an issue, but the blame is being misplaced. That shouldn’t be a knock on the YouTubers, that shouldn’t be a knock on the fact that they don’t know what they’re doing, they’re not real boxers… That should be a knock on actual boxing promoters and boxers. Read More: MMA Fighter Darren Till Comments on Logan Paul Potentially Joining UFC KSI vs Logan Paul should not bother boxing fans, according to TrueGeordie, but they should even look at the event as a positive. These YouTube boxers are getting more young eyes watching boxing than any boxing event in the last 10 years. I mean, that is the demographic that boxing is struggling to get more and more… so boxing fans should be grateful for [KSI vs Paul] because young YouTube fans will be watching and thinking, ‘this is entertaining and these guys aren’t even professionals.’ TrueGeordie became a major figure in the YouTube KSI vs Paul fight after he moderated the contentious UK press conference. He interviewed both YouTubers on his channel and gained almost 300,000 subscribers in the lead up to the fight.

  • True Geordie warns Heineken against ‘copying’ YouTube trademark – Dexerto

    True Geordie warns Heineken against ‘copying’ YouTube trademark YouTube: True Geordie / Heineken[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] In one of the more bizarre feuds to pop up in the YouTube space, UK creator True Geordie has hit Dutch brewery Heineken with a stern warning not to use a name he has trademarked. True Geordie has become somewhat of a big name in the UK YouTube scene. He hosted the first Logan Paul v KSI fight, as well as a podcast that regularly gets in big-name guests such as Logan himself, boxer Tyson Fury and comedy extraordinaire Ricky Gervais. While wrestling between the YouTube space and breaking into the mainstream, though, True Geordie — real name Brian Davis — was obviously shocked to see Heineken announce a show with the same name as one he hosts. With the return of the UEFA Champions League on August 7, Heineken tweeted out that they would be celebrating by hosting a livestream on YouTube and Facebook, calling the show “The Kick Off.” Anyone familiar with True Geordie will know that he already runs his own show called The Kick Off, in which he discusses everything going on in the world of football. Immediately upon seeing the tweet posted by Heineken, Davis sent them a warning, explaining that he owns the trademark for ‘The Kick Off’ and suggesting they change the name “to save this going any further.” https://twitter.com/TrueGeordieTG/status/1291743686297092096 Obviously, it’s unclear what the end result could be here. Heineken’s show appears to, technically, be called ‘The Kick off Powered by Defected’, which could mean there is no incrimination on Geordie’s trademark. It’s also unclear whether the creator’s trademark is held exclusively in the UK or whether it stands internationally — if that’s the case, then Holland-based Heineken should have absolutely no issues. Whatever comes from this ordeal, we’ll be sure to update the story if and when something happens.

  • True Geordie Slams Logan Paul for Attempting to Stop Him Commentating the KSI Fight – Dexerto

    True Geordie Slams Logan Paul for Attempting to Stop Him Commentating the KSI Fight YouTuber True Geordie has hit back at Logan Paul after being accused of bias towards KSI, and Paul trying to stop him commentating the YouTube boxing match. Logan posted a video on July 28, calling out both True Geordie and KSI for what went down at the UK press conference, accusing Geordie of being bias towards KSI and being a Logan and Jake Paul ‘hater’. As a result, Logan is now refusing to allow True Geordie to commentate the boxing match, as he did the first event between KSI and Joe Weller. It was planned that True Geordie would be the main caster for the fight, but according to KSI’s agent, the Paul’s have a 50% stake and so can prevent that from happening. So Logan has had a pop at me in his latest video and his team have apparently said they don’t want me commentating the fight. I’m going to give my side in a video today. — True Geordie (@TrueGeordieTG) July 29, 2018 True Geordie’s video about Logan’s suicide forest incident, titled “LOGAN PAUL EXPLOITS DEAD BODY” sits as his most viewed video ever, and was extremely scathing, appropriately so. Geordie uploaded his video responsding to Logan’s recent criticizms, calling him a hypocrite and saying that he is simply trying to get revenge, for the viral video Geordie made in early 2018. “According to the organizer’s of the event, you’re stopping me from commentating this event, and I’ve built a career trying to be the sports caster of YouTube. And now you get to take that away from me – this is your revenge.” KSI’s agent confirmed that the Paul camp is putting a stop to Geordie commentating the event. Yes, it is true. We would love @TrueGeordieTG to commentate on the fight. Unfortunately it’s a 50/50 contract which gives Team Paul approval on any decisions that are made around the event, including the presenting team. https://t.co/hQA8UImN4O — Stuart Jones (@StuartJones7) July 29, 2018 KSI himself has tweeted that he is in favor of True Geordie commentating, but if the Paul’s ultimately have the final say, there may be nothing they can do to change their mind. In his video, True Geordie says Logan is simply trying to play the victim, so that if he wins or loses the fight, fans will ultimately see him as the better person. “I think you are becoming incredibly skilled at PR. You’re painting yourself out as the victim, so that win or lose in this fight, you’re still going to win at the end of the day. That shows you’re a smart lad, you’re thinking about every single outcome, and I respect that. But, still, you can make KSI out to be the bad guy all you want. Ultimately, you’re going in their to punch each other square in the face, potentially knock each other out, possibly give each other brain damage. No matter what you say, nothing will compare to that, it’s a fight.”

  • True Geordie opens up about suicidal feelings after leaked DM controversy – Dexerto

    True Geordie opens up about suicidal feelings after leaked DM controversy UK YouTuber and podcast host Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis has spoken out on the suicidal thoughts he had following the controversy over his leaked direct messages with women. In August 2019, True Geordie was continuing on his path to online stardom, at least in the UK YouTube scene. He had acquainted himself with most of the top names and was hosting a podcast that has seen the likes of boxer Tyson Fury, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, and Logan Paul appear on it since. However, in the space of four days within the summer month, he lost a major deal that was making him some serious money and, the straw that broke the camel’s back, a series of sexually-charged messages between himself and a woman got leaked for the world to see. In an hour-long video titled “The Fall of True Geordie,” he was interviewed by friend Laurence McKenna, who asked about the leaked DMs – and Davis was as thought-provoking as he was honest. “It was like a nightmare,” he said. “An actual nightmare. Seeing so many tweets of hate towards me, just pouring in, by the thousands. The enjoyment that people got out of destroying me was clear as day.” After discussing the notion of sex not being a taboo subject for him, he continued: “It wasn’t that they were trying to make jokes. They were trying to end me. ‘You are canceled.’ ‘We f**king hate you.’ The thing that shocked me more than anything was the hate.” It was then that Brian started getting into the darker side of the controversy, addressing how he felt when all the hate was pouring in. “I’m a strong person. I dealt with suicide. I’ve dealt with people trying to take my life. But the wave of hate passed through all of my protection. I couldn’t ignore it,” Davis said. “I couldn’t not feel it. It went straight through my skin and into my heart. Everyone hates me, and that was what shocked me.” The popular YouTuber added: “I’m back here. I’m back feeling suicidal again… I drunk more than I’ve ever drunk in my life. I was thinking about methods of suicide. I was looking at banisters wondering if it could take my weight. Do I want to live in a world where this many people hate me? I’m ready to get off now.” (Timestamp 26:45 for mobile users) True Geordie went on to say that his only goal was to “not kill himself,” a sad summary of the way his life was during that time period and, when questioned why he didn’t do it, he simply said “I don’t have the bottle,” essentially meaning that he was too scared to go ahead and do it. He also said that while he didn’t want to live, he didn’t want to hurt people by dying, especially the people behind the scenes who may end up struggling because of the lost deal just days prior. He added that he knew he had to face it head on, it was never going to go away if he didn’t, and that he knew from the jump that he was going to accept it and address the issue at large, despite advice to simply deny it entirely. True Geordie has never been one to shy away from the discussion surrounding mental health and the difficulties so many people face in times of hardship, having seen and experienced it all first-hand. This story is eye-opening and speaks to the power of ‘cancel culture’, which a number of prominent online personalities have spoken out against recently, including the likes of beauty YouTuber James Charles and streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel.

  • True Geordie says he would “absolutely” punch Andrew Tate in the face – Dexerto

    True Geordie says he would “absolutely” punch Andrew Tate in the face YouTube: The Fellas, FLAGRANTBritish YouTuber and podcast host True Geordie called out controversial internet celeb Andrew Tate, saying he’d “absolutely” punch the former kickboxer in the face, if circumstances allowed. Andrew Tate has become an inflammatory online figure over the past few months. A former kickboxer, Tate has since transitioned to focus on marketing his own financial and lifestyle coaching online academy, ‘Hustler’s University,’ as well as growing his internet presence. Several of Tate’s comments have gone viral on social media, with many critics finding his views offensive and misogynistic. Tate has also been involved in the influencer-boxing space as of late, with Jake and Logan Paul both entertaining the idea of a bout with the former kickboxing champ. True Geordie sparks Andrew Tate fight rumors The Paul brothers aren’t the only major online figures who’d be happy to take a jab at Tate; podcast host True Geordie is also down to sock it to him, but not if it means going to training camp for an official boxing match. Geordie shared his opinion on Tate during a recent episode of comedian Andrew Schulz’s FLAGRANT podcast when he was asked if he’d ever box the influencer. “He’s been chasing fame for years,” Geordie began. “People don’t realize, this guy is the most desperate, fame-hungry person. …the way this guy talks about women is, as we all know, a f**king joke.” “I feel sorry for him if I’m being honest with you,” he continued. “All that money, and he’s clearly miserable. There’s so much anger there. Where’s that coming from?” “Would you box him?” co-host Akaash Singh asked. “If he came up to me in my face, I would absolutely punch him in the face,” Geordie answered. “But am I gonna make effort to go running every morning? No. He’s not worth that. We can do it right here, right now, but I’m not getting in the ring and making the effort.” (Topic begins at 1:38:08) Although it doesn’t look like a celebrity boxing match will ever happen between these two creators, fans are convinced that Jake Paul is gearing up to take on Tate after his boxing manager was seen posing with the mogul in a photo.

  • True Geordie slams his idol Conor McGregor in passionate speech after UFC star punched old man – Dexerto

    True Geordie slams his idol Conor McGregor in passionate speech after UFC star punched old man YouTube: True Geordie / Instagram: thenotoriousmmaYouTuber Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis has slammed his hero and professional MMA fighter Conor McGregor following the emergence of a video which appeared to show the Irish megastar punch a man in a bar. Conor McGregor is one of Mixed Martial Arts’ biggest stars, rising through the ranks of the UFC’s Featherweight division, becoming the first man in UFC history to hold championships in two weight divisions, and even taking on Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in what was described as “the biggest fight in combat sports history.” McGregor has been making headlines away from the Octagon though, and following the release of footage which appears to show ‘The Notorious One’ punch an elderly man who refused a shot of his whiskey, True Geordie has decided to criticize his idol and his recent behavior. 600“As a lot of you know, I am known as one of the McGregor fanboys on YouTube,” the 32-year-old stated. “He’s probably in my top three dream interviews, I’ve purposely avoided criticizing him in the past so I didn’t fuck it over for us in the future. Well, that ends today.” He continued on: “I’m about to kiss that interview goodbye. What the fuck can I say, punching old men in pubs. I’ve tried defending him so many times. You’ve inspired so many young kids to take up martial arts, to be a better person, and the performances you gave across your career and you showed the heart of a lion. I bought into it. You were like me, a regular working-class guy who just wanted to look after his family, give them a better life and prove the haters wrong.” “There were some antics where I said (nothing.) They’re all private matters, we don’t know the full story. But when it comes to this, you’re in a pub and you offer a shot to an old guy and he probably tells you your whiskey is shit? You’re a fucking professional fighter. You’re a lethal weapon.” True Geordie added: “There’s a way of conducting yourself. He’s a little old man, you don’t punch him in the face. Everything you started MMA for – to defend yourself, to defend your family, to be a better person – you’ve shit all over it, and everyone who’s defended you in the past, we all look like fucking idiots, but you look like the biggest fucking idiot.” “I’m gutted that someone I looked up to would act in this way. Fuck me man, what the fuck are you on? The saddest thing about it is, it’s the first fight you’ve won in three years!” Regulator collaborator Laurence McKenna, who sat off-camera during the rant, asked whether True Geordie was disappointed because he thought McGregor was “above this kind of behavior.” “I’m more annoyed that other the years a lot of people have said that this is the type of bloke he is,” he replied. “And I’ve said ‘Nah.’ I’ve watched so many interviews, I’ve consumed every bit of content, I felt like you get a good idea of who someone is.” “It’s just ruined it, because now whenever someone says anything, I can’t say (anything) now, because those actions are indefensible. He’s proved the haters right, unfortunately.” According to reports in his native land, McGregor will face charges for the altercation although these have yet to be confirmed by police in Ireland.

  • True Geordie Reacts to “Nightmare” KSI vs Logan Paul Press Conference – “A public ridicule of Logan Paul” – Dexerto

    True Geordie Reacts to “Nightmare” KSI vs Logan Paul Press Conference – “A public ridicule of Logan Paul” YouTuber TrueGeordie has posted his reaction to the KSI vs Logan Paul conference which he hosted and refereed, calling it a “nightmare” and that he felt he wanted to die on stage. TrueGeordie has had experience with these types of event in the past, having hosted the press conference for the previous fight between KSI and Joe Weller, but says he wasn’t prepared for what went down this time around. The conference itself was cut short after Logan Paul exited the stage before answering any questions, following a torrent of abuse from KSI and the crowd. But before either KSI or Logan took to the stage, their siblings Deji (ComedyShortsGamer) and Jake Paul faced off first. The True Geordie says he immediately knew that the event was not going to go to plan upon seeing the behavior from both fighters and the crowd itself, which were simply uncontrollable. “At this point I was cringing, I was just like ‘this isn’t going to go how I want it, is it.’ It was going the way of the LA [press conference]. I was really panicking inside now, because it had just been non-stop chanting. I think the problem, is that the only press conference most people have seen was the McGregor vs Mayweather one, which is nothing like a proper fight conference. I’m looking back at it now, and it wasn’t as bad as it felt, like up there I felt like I was dying on stage. You know, like a comedian that’s got no jokes, that was basically what it felt like.” “Logan was just shook. He sat in his chair, slumped, his body language not aggressive, not a fighter, just taking everything. Not a word to say back. Everyone in the room was chanting his girlfriend’s a ‘hoe’. It was a public ridicule of Logan Paul, this was not a press conference, at this point. And there wasn’t a f***ing thing I could do about it. People were saying ‘oh, you should have stopped [KSI]’. I was expecting Logan to just jump in at some point, and to stand up for himself against JJ, I wasn’t expecting him to just sit there.”

  • True Geordie explains the biggest problem with FIFA 20 – Dexerto

    True Geordie explains the biggest problem with FIFA 20 The Kick Off/YouTubeTrue Geordie has become an important name in the YouTube world, as a commentator at both YouTube boxing matches as well as having a popular podcast to boot. While he doesn’t upload much gaming content anymore, he’s revealed one of his biggest gripes with FIFA 20. Brian Davis, better known as The True Geordie, has been uploading on YouTube for six years, originally creating real-life videos about football and his beloved Newcastle United F.C. before starting the True Geordie Podcast in 2016. Since then his popularity has risen and he’s become an integral part of the UK YouTube scene, creating content with the likes of KSI and the Sidemen, Spencer F.C., JaackMaate and WillNE amongst others. While Geordie hasn’t done much gaming content recently, he took to one of his side channels, The Kick Off, to play EA Sports’ latest title FIFA 20 with Laurence McKenna, who he also works with on the podcast. After a match on the game’s Volta mode, the two discussed what they thought – and True Geordie wasn’t very impressed. “The problem with FIFA is instead of realizing the game isn’t like football and scrapping the entire mechanics, they seem to tweak things from last year,” he starts. “What they need to do is completely strip the game down, give up on what they’ve been doing, and start again. Because this is not enough like real football.” As a side note, he adds “Also, care about Career Mode, because that is a completely neglected gaming system.” True Geordie then discusses Rocket League and how great the football mechanics are – despite it not even really being a football game. “The way the ball bounces, the actual physics of the game, are real.” FIFA has always received a lot of criticism from players, but such is the nature of being one of the most played games in the world. However, with the issues faced and the hashtag #FixCareerMode trending when FIFA 20 had just released, it seems some fans are getting impatient with EA Sports. While True Geordie isn’t the greatest authority in gaming, he definitely brings up an interesting point, and the comparisons made between FIFA and Rocket League give players a lot to think about.

  • True Geordie reveals why Jake Paul is “risking everything” vs. AnEsonGib – Dexerto

    True Geordie reveals why Jake Paul is “risking everything” vs. AnEsonGib Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis has given his insight on the upcoming Jake Paul vs. AnEsonGib fight, suggesting Paul is “risking everything” for a chance at fighting Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji. 2020 is set to be a big year for YouTube boxing bouts. Logan Paul has made his intentions clear in trying to get an MMA fight off the ground, while Jake Paul has accepted AnEsonGib’s challenge for the first big fight of the year. Both fighters are coming off wins on their previous cards, with Jake Paul taking down KSI’s brother Oladeji ‘Deji’ Olatunji while AnEsonGib stunned Jay Swingler back in August 2018. While the name value isn’t as big as KSI vs. Logan Paul, True Geordie has high hopes for what he believes is the best bout in YouTube history. With so much on the line for Paul, and nothing to lose for AnEsonGib, both parties will be going all out. It’s a stark contrast to the original KSI vs. Logan Paul card where both YouTubers featured. Jake Paul was on top of the YouTube world, and was almost set on turning down a bout against Deji for the sake of fame, but now the tables have turned. “Jake was turning down the JJ fight initially, saying ‘I don’t need this,’” said TG. “Let’s not forget Jake was bringing in major views, he might have even been doing bigger views than JJ once upon a time. But the script has been flipped. “JJ now is one of the biggest guys [on YouTube], Jake’s views have clearly gone down. I know he’s taken breaks and whatever but ultimately, the content has gone in a different direction and people aren’t liking it as much anymore.” For mobile readers, the related segment starts at 4:03. Jake Paul, who has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, has built up a new persona on the platform, which has rubbed some fans off the wrong way. “People aren’t liking him as much once upon a time,” said True Geordie. “He’s a bit of a villain, and on a platform where how much people like you decide how much they watch you, it hurts your brand when people think you’re a bit of an a**hole. However, that’s not to say it’s a bad thing. Going against the grain is what creators are having to do, and every major story has a villain. True Geordie admitted he “likes” that Jake Paul has changed his character on the platform. It helps build up a story line between YouTube’s villain and one of its biggest underdogs. AnEsonGib went into his fight with Jay Swingler as an unknown enigma, and showed his grit to come out on top. “He’s the Rocky of YouTube boxing,” he said. “He isn’t the one that everyone thought was the champ or the biggest name, but he’s becoming the people’s champ. “It’s one of the biggest rises we’ve ever seen on YouTube. It’s an absolute unlikely hero, and I love him for the fact that he’s gone ‘f**k it, let’s do this,’ especially against a bigger guy.” While Jake Paul’s fan base dwarves AnEsonGib’s, the underdog has the advantage of having almost the entire internet behind him. A loss for Jake Paul is not an option — in fact, it’s quite possibly career suicide. “The whole world is probably going to be on Gibbo’s side, outside of the Jake Paul fanbase, people are going to be like ‘if he does this, scenes,’” he said. Read more: What we know about Jake Paul vs. AnEsonGib – “Jake Paul has very little to gain, and almost everything to lose,” he said. “He is risking a lot just to get this fight with JJ. If he loses to Gibbo, who is the smaller guy physically and in terms of YouTube by a mile, Gibbo has then finessed him at this. He has hunted him down and forced this fight on him. In his mind, the winner has already been made up without a punch thrown. “Gibbo has already won by getting this fight. His profile has gone up, his subscribers have gone up, he’s going to make a f**kton of money. “You just win by stepping into the ring with Jake, because Jake isn’t a loved personality outside of his fan base. If you do anything to him, you’re a hero, if you beat him, you’re legendary.” With so much on the line, and a lot to be gained for both parties, there’s never been a more high-stakes YouTube fight, and that’s what’s got True Geordie excited. “I think this fight might be the best YouTuber fight yet. I think we are getting a knockout, they aren’t going to play it safe. I feel like between these two, Jake and Gibbo, there’s no mercy there. I think we are getting a knockout, and we will have a decisive fight.” It will all come down to January 30 for the big bout between the duo, and the internet, including True Geordie, will certainly be watching.

  • True Geordie responds after DMs leak online – Dexerto

    True Geordie responds after DMs leak online YouTube: True GeordiePopular British YouTuber Brian ‘True Geordie‘ Davis has responded after DM’s between himself and a partner were leaked in August, revealing some messages. Initially, the messages caused confusion, with some speculating that they had been faked via a hack, and Geordie kept fans in the dark for a few days with no immediate response. The conversation was incredibly explicit, even with some of it blanked out, and the extreme nature of the messages led to many believing it was a hoax. TrueGeordie was subjected to a roast by Stephen Tries over his leaked DM’s. Finally, on August 24, True Geordie responded on his 1.6 million subscribed-YouTube channel, during his popular ‘True News’ show, joined by frequent co-host Laurence. To get things off on a light-hearted note, Geordie was subjected to a roast by fellow YouTuber Stephen Tries, who reeled off some witty puns including: ‘Apparently you were really drunk when you sent those messages – it’s not the first time you’ve been sh*t-faced.” Geordie did get down to the nitty-gritty though, admitting that the messages were in fact real, explaining: “Sometimes you just go down a road. Dirty messages flying back and forth, you just want to say the sickest sh*t possible, so that you can outdo each other. This is just fantasy talk.” He continued: “I get that for a lot of people, that’s quite extreme, but, I don’t know, sometimes my brain just goes places if I’m having a dirty conversation. It doesn’t mean it’s all real.” Read More: Fouseytube challenges Deji to boxing match – When asked about the “shit on me” remark, Geordie explained, “No, not really. No one actually wants someone to squat over them and shit on them. It’s just something people would say, well, something I would say.” The leaked DM’s even sent True Geordie to number two on Twitter’s trending column in the UK, and his response video has already racked up over a million views. Feedback from fans has been generally positive, with comments like “Once you own it they can’t win,” and “Geordie took this like a champ, didn’t deny it like most people would have, big respect, it’s his private life, not anyone else’s to judge.”

  • True Geordie Explains Why It’ll Be Good to Have Joe Weller Commentating the KSI vs Logan Paul Fight – Dexerto

    True Geordie Explains Why It’ll Be Good to Have Joe Weller Commentating the KSI vs Logan Paul Fight YouTuber True Geordie, who is set to commentate the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing match, has revealed that Joe Weller will be his co-commentator, explaining the unique perspective he can bring. On August 25, a host of popular YouTubers will take to the ring in the Manchester Arena, headlined by Deji vs Jake Paul and KSI vs Logan Paul. The event is a follow up of sorts to last years bout between KSI and Joe Weller, two of the most popular British YouTubers who put on a sold out event which millions watched online. Weller lost the fight, in fairly convincing fashion it must be said, but took the loss well and has been invited back this year – but not to get in the ring. This time around, Weller will sit with True Geordie to commentate the proceedings, which will be invaluable insight for the viewers watching at home, as True Geordie explains: “I’m glad we’ve got Joe, because we’re going to be able to actually get what [the fighters] are going through as they’re walking into the ring and all that. Because it’s different, if we got a ‘proper’ boxer, their experience of it wouldn’t be anything like what Joe’s talking, Joe’s going to know what it feels like.” They also reveal that former world champions Johnny Nelson and Shannon Briggs will provide boxing analysis between round and fights, as two experienced ‘boxing brains’. True Geordie himself will lead the commentary, as he did for the previous event. There were concerns that he would be dropped for the occasion after a dispute with Logan Paul, but it has since been resolved. You can watch the full discussion of the upcoming fight and commentary team on the True Geordie Podcast below.

  • True Geordie doesn’t think McGregor is ready for a rematch with Khabib – Dexerto

    True Geordie doesn’t think McGregor is ready for a rematch with Khabib YouTuber and internet sportscaster Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis published his thoughts on the recent UFC 229 in a video, where he claimed that Conor McGregor might not be ready for a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov. While Geordie stated that he normally advocated for rematches in regards to McGregor, he felt that audiences hadn’t seen enough out of the fighter during UFC 229 to prompt an entertaining rematch with Khabib. “We haven’t seen anything so far that really says Conor McGregor can beat Khabib,” he said. He also held that Khabib’s performance “legitimized every criticism anyone has ever had” in regards to McGregor’s career. “Win, lose, or draw, they’re on to the next one,” he said of coach John Kavanaugh’s attitude toward the match. “Not this one. This jeopardizes everything.” Geordie then stated that McGregor would have to beat Khabib in order to be seen as ‘the best fighter in the world’ – which isn’t looking likely, as Khabib faces potential suspension for his assault on McGregor’s Jiu Jitsu coach following his victory. “He has to go and beat Khabib – but there’s work to be done,” he admitted. Khabib flying out the cage #UFC229 pic.twitter.com/6i0QsVYEPn — RC Woodley (@RcTWood) October 7, 2018 While Geordie is a diehard McGregor fan, he respected Khabib’s performance in the octagon, feeling that he put on a ‘world-class performance’ at UFC 229. Khabib’s win over McGregor was cut short after a crowd-wide brawl ensued when Khabib and his teammates assaulted McGregor and his Jiu Jitsu trainer. While sources have stated that McGregor’s cornerman incited Khabib’s actions, the fighter faces major punishment from the UFC.

  • True Geordie dropped by Gymshark after “Islamophobia” accusations in Andrew Tate beef – Dexerto

    True Geordie dropped by Gymshark after “Islamophobia” accusations in Andrew Tate beef Twitter: True GeordieFitness apparel company Gymshark has ended its relationship with UK YouTuber Brian Davis, better known as True Geordie, following remarks made towards Andrew Tate leading to accusations of discrimination and Islamophobia. On Monday, November 7, drama erupted as True Geordie was accused of Islamophobic comments, after making a joke that Tate, a Muslim, should “do the right thing,” with an implication that the divisive social media star should “blow himself up” as suggested in a prior comment. These comments immediately started to go viral and were picked up across TikTok, Twitter, and further afield, eventually being heard by Tate himself. Tate was quick to respond to Davis, saying: “After me converting to Islam, he made a piece on one of his podcasts saying I’m not true in my conversion, and then insulted all Muslims. Making f**king racist comments about an entire religion as if that’s somehow funny. Let me tell you something my friend, and True Geordie if you are watching this, this is a message directly to you. There are certain times in life when you need to know when to shut the f**k up. “To insult my religion, and the religion of billions of people across the f**king planet, making ignorant jokes about blowing ourselves up, thinking it’s gonna go without consequence, you’re gonna learn very quickly my friend that was a mistake.” This was then met, very swiftly, with an apology from Geordie, who said it was just an “idiotic joke” at the expense of “someone who seriously dislikes me.” Due to the gravity of the situation, however, many have not accepted the apology, and Gymshark appears to have placed itself in that group. They put out a short statement the following day, saying the following: “We do not agree with the comments made by Brian, AKA True Geordie, and have suspended our relationship with him indefinitely, effective immediately.” Geordie himself has not yet responded or spoken out again publicly since the apology. It’s highly possible Gymshark isn’t the last brand to revoke its relationship with him, but time will tell whether this goes further.

  • True Geordie Admits That the KSI vs Logan Paul Fight Did Not Go the Way He Expected – Dexerto

    True Geordie Admits That the KSI vs Logan Paul Fight Did Not Go the Way He Expected True Geordie- YouTubeYouTuber and internet sportscaster Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis uploaded a nearly 40-minute YouTube video giving his impression of the KSI vs Logan Paul fight, as well as his own backstory leading up to the event. In the video, Geordie revealed a heightened respect for Logan Paul, who he had previously called out for his controversial video in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’ Following Geordie’s interview with Paul on his podcast, which preceded the fight, he felt that they had come to an understanding over their differences – and likewise felt that Paul had the upper hand over KSI. He admitted that he believed in Paul’s gumption and called him a “born winner,” stating that Paul’s mental fortitude had “no quit.” He also cited Paul as a “big dude,” maintaining that his physique was a massive indicator for his then-upcoming performance. “I know how much Logan values being number one… if he really didn’t believe that he wouldn’t at least look good in there, he would never have gotten in the ring, and that was enough to make me think… he’s not going to leave himself wide open.” While he felt that KSI’s experience and skill were greater, he didn’t think that the white-collar boxer would finish Paul off – and he wasn’t completely incorrect. Geordie broke down the fight, believing their match was a true draw due to Logan’s strong start and second wind, as well as KSI’s endurance and skill. He expressed true sympathy for each YouTuber at the result, alongside awe that they had managed to create such a large event with a massive audience. While the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch has yet to be given a definite date, reports indicate that the fight will take place in February of 2019.

  • True Geordie unbanned on Twitch after Andrew Tate Islamophobia accusations – Dexerto

    True Geordie unbanned on Twitch after Andrew Tate Islamophobia accusations The Kick Off, YouTubeTrue Geordie’s Twitch account has been unbanned after serving a one week suspension, believed to be caused by Islamaphobic comments he made during a spat with Andrew Tate. The comments, which have been labeled as Islamaphobic, sparked not just an apology from the content creator but also partners making the decision to drop him, such as Gymshark. After he was asked about potentially fighting Andrew Tate, who converted to Islam in October, he snapped back: “I would gladly blow myself up if I could take that sh*tbag with us. If he really wants to prove [that he is Muslim], do the right thing.” The comments, which quickly went viral on social media, were widely condemned as advancing Islamaphobic stereotypes. True Geordie unbanned on Twitch His Twitch ban was confirmed on November 10 and was a blow the streamer, given that he hosts a live weekly football show called The Kick Off on the platform. The length of the ban was not confirmed at the time, and True Geordie did not address it. However, the ban was indeed only temporary, with his channel no reinstated on November 17. Twitch does not comment on community guidelines violations, to respect the privacy of users, meaning that the exact cause of the ban is not confirmed either. True Geordie posted an apology video on November 7, tweeting: “I made a very stupid comment last week on a livestream which has upset a lot of people. “I want to say sorry, please watch this guys as I mean every word.” In the video, he said it was a joke made in the heat of the moment. He said: “It’s just not the way I am. I realize that I am a cocky guy and I say a lot of silly jokes. I get lost in that sometimes,” agreeing with Laurence McKenna that he likes to upset people from time to time. However, True Geordie’s apology also faced criticism, with commenters accusing him of insincerity and highlighting his deflection from the issue by citing the loss of his mother, and former relationship with a Muslim woman. He also ended the video by asking viewers to like and subscribe, which was then mocked on social media.

  • Troy Baker backtracks on controversial NFT deal after fury from fans – Dexerto

    Troy Baker backtracks on controversial NFT deal after fury from fans Flickr: Gage SkidmoreBeloved video game voice actor Troy Baker has decided to pull the plug on his recently announced NFT deal. The initial statement was met by a ton of online criticism and the actor has explained all in a new Tweet. Troy Baker has forged an incredible career in the video game industry by providing his talents to a variety of characters. Fortnite, The Avengers, Mortal Kombat, The Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty, God of War, and Joel Miller in The Last of Us are just some of the 100+ voice acting credits the star has accumulated. He’s become recognized as one of the most reliable and sought-after talents in gaming, but his reputation has taken a setback due to a recent NFT deal. Troy Baker apologizes for upsetting fans On January 14, 2022, Troy Baker posted a Tweet declaring: “I’m partnering with @VoiceverseNFT to explore ways where together we might bring new tools to new creators to make new things, and allow everyone a chance to own & invest in the IP’s they create. We all have a story to tell. You can hate. Or you can create. What’ll it be?” NFTs, AKA non-fungible tokens, have become the talk of the town in the last year with many high-profile companies and celebrities embracing the concept. The new form of cryptocurrency has caused much discussion, and the reaction to Troy’s involvement with them wasn’t positive.

Thank you all for your feedback and patience. After careful consideration, I’ve decided to not continue the partnership with VoiceVerseNFT. Intentions aside, I’ve heard you and apologize for accusing anyone of “hating” just by simply disagreeing with me. — Troy Baker (@TroyBakerVA) January 31, 2022 The dissension for NFTs continues to grow, with Ubisoft being mocked for its recent stance on NFTs. Regardless, Troy Baker probably isn’t the first to dip into this new market of possibilities, and the uproar and controversy surrounding the topic will inevitably continue to rumble on.

  • Truck driver kills five in deadly highway pile up while browsing TikTok – Dexerto

    Truck driver kills five in deadly highway pile up while browsing TikTok Maricopa County Sheriff’s OfficeA semi-truck driver has been arrested and charged with manslaughter after causing a fiery crash in Arizona that killed five people. Danny G. Tiner was arrested on June 29, 2023, on five counts of manslaughter, four counts of endangerment, and one of tampering with physical evidence, the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) announced in a statement. The 36-year-old driver was browsing the TikTok app while driving 68 mph in a 55-mph construction zone on Interstate 10, when his semi-truck collided with stopped traffic on January 12. His commercial tractor-trailer shoved two cars between another semi and two other vehicles, which caused the crushed cars to burst into flames, killing five people. The accident shut down the freeway for 11 hours, 3TV/CBS 5 reported. Tiner said he “received a message on his electronic work tablet and acknowledged the message,” according to the AZDPS statement. “Tiner said when he looked back up traffic was stopped, and he could not stop his vehicle in time to avoid a collision.” Upon further investigation, AZDPS and the FBI found that he’d been speeding prior to the crash and was distracted with the popular video app while doing so. That information was found after Tiner turned his phone over to officials, and a forensic examination was conducted through his device. The 36-year-old was driving a semi-truck for Mr. Bult’s Inc., a waste transportation firm that’s been involved in at least 26 crashes in Arizona in just two years, 3TV/CBS 5 said. At the time of writing, Tiner remains in custody at Maricopa County Jail. His bail, set at $300,000, has not been posted, and he is due in court on July 7, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

  • Trovo’s stream viewership grows 60% across early 2021 – Dexerto

    Trovo’s stream viewership grows 60% across early 2021 TrovoStreaming platform Trovo has experienced incredible success so far in 2021, seeing a 60% growth in viewership across the first quarter of 2021. While video game streaming has long been dominated by Twitch, there appears to be a new kid on the block. 2020 saw the collapse of Mixer, and the emergence of Trovo, a new streaming platform from Chinese tech company Tencent. It has focused on promoting mobile games and grass-root esports, and has seen its viewership rise consistently across 2020. Its audience, though has exploded in early 2021, marking a major increase on its early figures, in terms of hours watched. Do you know that @trovolive Hours Watched grew by 60% in Q1, 2021? We’ve prepared a new report from which you will learn: ➡️General #Trovo growth ➡️Most popular categories & streamers in Q1 ➡️Interview with Silu Wang, Trovo’s Brand ManagerRead: https://t.co/zdjsv2DB1y pic.twitter.com/CIkc4dj7hh — Streams Charts 🇺🇦 (@StreamsCharts) June 2, 2021 In Q3 of its launch year, Trovo racked up 8.67 million hours of watch time. The final quarter of 2020 saw this figure rise to 20.81 million hours. The growth was already well underway, but Trovo’s explosion in early 2021 may have surprised even the platform itself. For the first three months of 2021 they racked up 47.57 million hours, over 5 times more than Q3 of 2020. It is a hallmark of a streaming platform on the up, attracting new viewers thanks to its diversity of content and focus on mobile gaming. Not only does hours watched suggest viewers are investing more time, but also that there are considerably more viewers investing their free time into Trovo. Trovo Brand Manager, Silu Wang, spoke to StreamsCharts about the exponential growth: “Diversity and inclusiveness are key to Trovo’s aims. We prioritized mobile gaming when we first started because the mobile gaming community was not really a priority anywhere else and that did not sound right to us at all. “However, prioritizing mobile gaming doesn’t mean we ignore other communities. Respecting all communities on our platform and serving these communities in each respective way are what we are aiming at.” The most popular categories on Trovo continue to be Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty but, with the platform’s growth only going one way, we could see the prominence of other titles improve massively.

  • Trovo is using mobile gaming tricks to make streamers more money than on Twitch or Kick – Dexerto

    Trovo is using mobile gaming tricks to make streamers more money than on Twitch or Kick Burgeoning livestreaming service, Trovo, doesn’t have the reach of bigger platforms like Twitch and YouTube, but claims streamers are earning way more on their site – so how are they doing it? In May, Trovo posted a tweet comparing three streamers and the earnings they made in a month. One streamer was on Twitch, one was on Kick, and another was on Trovo. According to Trovo’s case study, the Trovo streamer, “Despite having fewer viewers […] earned significantly more per hour compared to other platforms.” Indeed, the final numbers were: Twitch: $3.63, Kick: $12.61, and Trovo: $245. This tweet, however, was met with immediate skepticism. Some doubted that the figures could be extrapolated to more streamers, and suggested Trovo had simply cherry-picked a particularly extreme example. Dexerto asked Trovo to send us more information, including stats on more Trovo streamers, to see if their claims would continue to be true. We also questioned the very high sub numbers for Trovo streamers, compared to their viewership. From what we’ve seen, Trovo does indeed provide the potential for much higher earnings for a small-to-medium-sized streamer than other platforms. This is largely thanks to the gamification of its monetization systems. However, there are still some drawbacks to streaming on Trovo, and we have some concerns about how well these systems will scale if the platform grows. How does Trovo make more money for streamers? Trovo is different from Twitch and Kick in many ways, but one of them is that it’s much more popular for mobile gaming, and its audience is not as heavily US-based. Rather, South America, Europe and MENA are its dominant markets. This connection to mobile gaming has been reflected in how it monetizes content. Channels participate in what are called “PK battles” which are essentially competitions between two channels to get a higher number of points, earned through viewers supporting the stream monetarily. Trovo also pushes what’s called the “Ace” program, which immediately reminds us of the ‘VIP’ options some mobile games use. Ace is a platform subscription, and is for the “ballers” Trovo said. There is a number of levels that can be paid for, and Trovo says big spenders will pay for it, thanks to the benefits it provides. Twitch does have features like sub badges, which increase with loyalty. But users can’t manually increase these badges on a whim, rather they have to keep subscribing for months and years to see the badge change. On Trovo, viewers can more actively engage in improving their “rank” in the chat, through constant donations. And there are seemingly endless ways to make these donations. In truth, it would be difficult to explain them all, but the primary currency is spells and elixirs. These are akin to Twitch bits, and viewers can spend anything from $0.05 to hundreds of dollars giving these to the channel. All of it comes back to the gamified model though, and the PK battles. This direct, head-to-head, form of monetization, allows two communities to battle it out, and everyone wins – the viewers, the platform, and of course, the streamer. Viewers can “earn exclusive badges, avatars, and rewards for their participation” in battles, Trovo explains, which is often enough for them to part with their cash. The smaller minimum donations are no doubt an important part of this too, especially considering there is no regional pricing, so everything is transacted in USD. There is also a game-of-chance aspect to some donation types. Spells are RNG-based, meaning viewers may spin the wheel, so to speak, in repeated attempts to get better and better spells. How much do Trovo streamers make? This varies massively of course, but Trovo did provide us with evidence of some eye-opening figures. For example, one streamer who averages only 66 viewers, raked in $17,637 in just 30 days. And it wasn’t just a one-off. In previous months they earned $22,060 and $16,139, in March and February respectively. Of course, this isn’t the same for everyone. It will certainly be the case that some streamers are making very little on the platform too. Trovo says that the amount streamers earn depends on how actively they engage with all of the various monetization features on the platform. Some may be too shy, or feel bad for pushing it, but if they do, the rewards can be lucrative. This is also the reason that sub numbers are way higher on Trovo. First of all, a basic sub is cheaper, at only $2, as opposed to the minimum of $5 on Twitch and Kick (regional pricing does make this cheaper for some countries). But subs can also contribute to PK battles, and are rewarding for viewers too. Both streamers and viewers can also join ‘teams’ on the platform, which can then engage in these battles together. Twitch does have a teams feature, although it is limited to streamers, and is not used for any monetization purposes. Should you move to Trovo? If you’re a streamer, these numbers will certainly be enticing. However, despite the impressive pitch from Trovo, there’s still a few questions you should be asking yourself before making the switch. One is about the size of Trovo’s audience. It is significantly smaller than Twitch, and even Kick. Similarweb, which independently reports site traffic, estimates that Trovo gets around 13 million visits a month. This is compared to Kick’s 75 million and Twitch’s 1 billion-plus. This can also mean that you are a bigger fish in a smaller pond, especially if you bring across a following from another platform already. But, Trovo’s monetization is also somewhat reliant on its more concentrated user base. For example, one feature sends out a sitewide notification when certain monetization goals are met, directing people to that channel. This may be ok on a smaller site, but we can only imagine the controversy if Twitch added such a feature. Additionally, one complaint we had when watching some streams was that the content felt too heavily focused on donations and subs. One streamer we watched, for around five minutes straight, discussed nothing except their progress in the PK Battle they were currently engaged in. It could be that this type of content does have an audience, but it’s certainly not for everyone, and this could hamper Trovo’s ability to grow. Trovo explained that how much monetization dominates the stream is still up to the streamer – but does their earning potential shrink if they are not talking about spells, donations, and PK Battles frequently? Trovo is aware of these concerns though, and knows that it may need to adapt if the platform was to grow. It’s worth mentioning too, that Trovo encourages multistreaming – so they are more than happy for streamers to broadcast on these rival sites at the same time. However, Twitch has recently prohibited anyone streaming on their site from simulcasting elsewhere, on “Twitch-like” platforms, which Trovo would certainly fall under. So, is Trovo the best platform for streamers? Not necessarily, but, there is definitely a lucrative opportunity for a certain type of streamer, who is happy to lean into the monetization features, and reap the benefits. In a time where Twitch is facing stiffer competition and its own controversies, Trovo is well-timed in its offensive, and we’d always argue that more competition, in general, is the best result for streamers and viewers.

  • “Troubled” Hank Green calls out Mark Rober & Nile Red deepfake YouTube Channel – Dexerto

    “Troubled” Hank Green calls out Mark Rober & Nile Red deepfake YouTube Channel VidCon/HankGreen.comYouTuber turned TikTok sensation Hank Green has raised concerns about the future effects of deepfake technology after shining a light on a channel that imitates former NASA engineer Mark Rober & chemist Nile Red specifically. Hank Green has had some serious longevity in the world of internet stardom. From propelling the vlogbrothers into the public eye with the Harry Potter-based tune “Accio Deathly Hallows” back in 2007 to hosting podcasts with Ryan Reynolds in 2022, the science communicator’s track record is unmatched in terms of variety. Part of how Green has stayed in the limelight for so long is his thoughtful view on the world of online content creation, and as the cofounder of VidCon, he’s seen just about everything there is to offer. That’s why the rest of the internet listens when he makes a point to highlight when something doesn’t sit right or develops into a worrying trend on a big platform. Hank Green is ‘freaked out’ about deepfake channels on YouTube The Complexly cofounder and Crash Course host started off the conversation by warning everyone else not to go into “attack mode” right away, hoping instead to have a nuanced discussion about why he believes that well-done deepfakes could be dangerous. One of the first points he raised was about quality and believability, calling the videos “pretty well done” but not entirely convincing. “They aren’t mean spirited, but they do have the “characters” say things those guys would never say.” Even if they’re not a perfect interpretation, Green went on to say the potential ramifications of this content becoming more popular is a scary thought. “Even if one video is fine, you never know what you’re going to see yourself do in the next one. Imagine being totally out of control of something that is, in a pretty real way, /you/,” he explained. He also made the point that while Rober & NileRed haven’t publicly raised issue with their likeness being used, other creators deserve to have that option in the future. “As far as I know, Mark and Nigel are the first creators who have had successful, monetized deepfake content of them uploaded onto YouTube. They’ve been pretty chill about it, but I honestly don’t think I would be.” While it will likely be up to individual platforms to police what kinds of content are allowed to be uploaded, the vlogbrother’s remarks do highlight an interesting challenge that sites like YouTube will face in the coming years.

  • Troll spams xQc’s stream with hilarious Alinity cat drama message – Dexerto

    Troll spams xQc’s stream with hilarious Alinity cat drama message Twitch: xQcOW, AlinityTwitch star Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel’s Minecraft stream was interrupted when a donator trolled him with a hilariously long message about fellow streamer ‘Alinity Divine‘ and her ongoing cat drama. Alinity seems to be everywhere right now, and not for good reason. With allegations of abusing her cat, the steamer’s woes are now spreading throughout the Twitch community and beyond. From Imane ‘Pokimane‘ Anys slamming her actions on stream, to Nordan ‘FaZe Rain‘ Shat calling her a “stupid b*tch” in a YouTube video, the clip of Alinity throwing her cat has gotten a reaction out of many. Now it seems people are using the drama to troll xQc in a hilarious way. xQc’s stream goes awry While streaming Minecraft, xQc was in the middle of tunneling through the ground when he received a donation from a fan that came with a comically peculiar rant about Alinity. “I had a run in with Alinity today when I was walking my cat. She tried to give it vodka, and my cat stood strong and refused.” the message began. “She tried to pick up my cat and throw it behind her back, my cat stood strong and refused. Alinity, in defeat, walked away in agony.” The bizarre message then changed into what appeared to be an advert for VPN service ‘NordVPN’, though it’s not clear whether the advertisement came from the company itself or if it was just put in at an attempt to be funny: “Luckily earlier that day I had downloaded NordVPN on my cat. With NordVPN, my cat was able to stand strong under pressure from a formidable threat”. The message was made all the better by xQc’s expressionless face, as Minecraft’s relaxing music played in the background. It didn’t seem to phase him much, as he’d already had more than enough time to be flooded with the Alinity situation, as he had reacted to it on a previous stream. xQc’s reaction to Alinity The Canadian streamer’s reaction to the ‘infamous’ cat throwing clip was how most of us upon seeing the video: shock and bewilderment. He decided to watch it during his July 18 broadcast to see what all the fuss was about. “Holy shit!” he exclaimed with his mouth wide open, clearly flabbergasted by Alinity’s actions. “Damn, dude!” It is unclear at this point whether Twitch will be banning the female streamer for her actions.

  • Trolling online to be made illegal in UK after Katie Price campaign – Dexerto

    Trolling online to be made illegal in UK after Katie Price campaign PANew laws in the United Kingdom might be on the horizon after model Katie Price’s campaign to make hateful online trolling a criminal offence is picking up speed with the backing from Members of Parliament. The former reality star has been a staunch advocate against online abuse since she discovered the sheer magnitude of daily hateful interactions directed to her son Harvey, who suffers from partial blindness, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome. In an Instagram post, Price revelled in joy after it was announced that a parliamentary committee had agreed with the former Eurovision runner-up that spreading online hate on the social media must be made illegal. The announcement comes after Price’s petition to make online abuse an illegal offense reached over 220,000 signatures. The House of Commons Petition Committee deemed current laws on hate speech does not adequately protect people from being harassed online, per their report. “There is no excuse for the continued failure to make online platforms as safe for disabled people. Self-regulation has failed disabled people and the law must change to ensure more lives are not destroyed,” said Committee chair Helen Jones MP. Jones continued to say that Harvey’s experience wasn’t unique and that social media entities must be held partially responsible for letting these “toxic environments” exist without repercussion. “The law on online abuse is not fit for purpose and it is truly shameful that disabled people have been forced off social media while their abusers face no consequences,” Jones said. Price’s petition calls for online abusers to be entered in an official register, since the hate isn’t unique to people with disabilities. The proposed changes would also look to protect against “racism, homophobia, body shaming and a whole range of other hate speech.”

  • Troll Japanese clothing company CUGGL goes viral after winning lawsuit against GUCCI – Dexerto

    Troll Japanese clothing company CUGGL goes viral after winning lawsuit against GUCCI UNSPLASH: JULIEN TONDUA Japanese troll clothing company went viral on social media after winning its trademark lawsuit against GUCCI over similar CUGGL logo. GUCCI lost its lawsuit in a Japanese court, after the Italian fashion house tried to block CUGGL for attempting to trademark a “confusing” logo, which it claimed was essentially its trademark. The Japan Patent Office dismissed the opposition, concluding that there weren’t enough similarities between both logos for GUCCI to make a solid case. Per Financial Times, the owner of CUGGL is Osaka-based Nobuaki Kurokawa, who sells t-shirts parodying famous brands. He has reimagined the Puma mark into other animal names such as pug, labra(dor) and pome(ranian). These shirts sell on his website at about $12 to $25. Social media users react to CUGGL A Twitter user shared the news that the Japanese troll brand won its lawsuit against the luxurious Italian fashion house. The tweet also showed the logo of CUGGL, which GUCCI argued was essentially its trademark partially covered with a hot-pink brush stroke. Hundreds of users replied to the viral tweet, which has over 25,000 likes, as many sided with Nobuaki Kurokawa, even calling him a “genius” for trolling the high-end luxury brand. “BIGGEST TROLL [laughing crying emoji]” one user wrote. “This is genius! More of this please haha” someone else added. “Holy hell this is clever” someone shared. Another user agreed, adding “Why is this low key hard lol.” Kurokawa applied for the trademark for CUGGL, along with a variation reading ‘GUANFI’ back in October 2020. Gucci, however, only spotted the registration much later. The Italian fashion house accused its opponent of trademarking the CUGGL symbol with “malicious intent to free-ride goodwill and reputation” of its brand, as stated by Osaka-based trademark attorney Masaki Mikami. The Japanese Patent Office refuted the comparisons between the GUCCI and CUGGL logos and said it could not identify any resemblances “from visual, phonetic, and conceptual points of view.” As there was a “low degree of similarity” between the two, the Board concluded that consumers couldn’t possibly mix the two logos up.

  • Tristan & Andrew Tate claim their charges are about stealing TikTok money from women – Dexerto

    Tristan & Andrew Tate claim their charges are about stealing TikTok money from women Rumble/Andrew TateTristan Tate has claimed that the “official story” about the charges against him and his brother Andrew accuses them of taking money from girls on TikTok. Back in December 2022, the Tate brothers – Andrew and Tristan – were arrested by Romanian authorities as part of an investigation into human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. Their Romanian home was also raided in the process, with cars and other items being seized. The brothers, along with two women, were held by authorities until May before finally being released. Though, they were placed under house arrest for at least 30 days. Numerous social media accounts sent messages on behalf of the Tate’s while they were being held by authorities, but now they’re back home, they’ve started streaming again. Their return stream was watched by over 400,000 viewers and contained some claims about their arrests. Tate brothers claim they’re being investigated for stealing TikTok income “Here is the official story. In 2021, two years ago, my brother and I formed an organized criminal gang with the intent of moving women to Romania so we could steal money from their TikTok accounts to enrich ourselves,” Tristan said during their stream. He acknowledged that he used to run a webcam studio, where women were put to work, but it is now defunct. He claimed there is “no link” between that and what he and his brother are currently being accused of. “That is the narrative, that is what I have been arrested for,” he added, referring back to the claim about making money from TikTok. “This is the first time publicly I can finally clear that up.” As per Reuters and other reports, the Tate brothers and the two female suspects’ official charges are for forming an organized criminal gang, suspected human trafficking of multiple victims, and an accusation of rape. The Tate brothers deny all charges. Charges against them were recently “broadened” and changed the investigation to a focus on “human trafficking in continued form.” This, as per Romanian officials, is a “more serious crime” than the separate counts of trafficking and as such could land them up to 10 years of prison time.

  • Trisha Paytas under fire for “racist” Ice Spice Halloween costume – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas under fire for “racist” Ice Spice Halloween costume YouTube: Just Trish, Ice SpiceYouTube star Trisha Paytas faced backlash for dressing up as rapper Ice Spice for Halloween — but the “Deli” artist seemed to be a big fan of her costume. Halloween is on the horizon, and that means that folks are gearing up to celebrate the day with their favorite costumes. From supernatural creatures to movie characters and even celebrities, people all over the globe are getting ready to step out on October 31 for some good old-fashioned trick-or-treating in style. However, one celebrity is facing major backlash over her choice of costume after viewers found the outfit “racist.” Trisha Paytas faces backlash for Ice Spice Halloween costume Trisha Paytas is an OG YouTuber, podcast host, and OnlyFans creator. Paytas has been making content for well over a decade now (since 2007, to be exact), and during this time, she’s seen her fair share of drama. Following the birth of her daughter, Malibu Barbie (yes, that’s the kiddo’s real name), Paytas started up her new podcast ‘Just Trish,’ where she dishes on current events and hot goss with her fellow creators. While fans are loving the revamped podcast, some weren’t too happy with her choice of Halloween Costume. This year, Trish is dressing up as American rapper Ice Spice — and not everyone is here for it. Ice Spice approves Trisha Paytas’ dressing up as her for Halloween Trish uploaded some pics of the costume to Instagram on October 17, showing herself decked out in a curly red wig and an all-pink outfit reminiscent of the rapper’s music video fit for her song ‘Princess Diana’ with Nicki Minaj. At first, Trish was besieged with comments claiming that the costume was “racist,” with some viewers even accusing the YouTuber of “blackface” for dressing up as a woman of color. “White person to white person — Trisha you can’t be doing this,” one user wrote. “Ummmmm blackface?” another asked. However, others have since stepped up to defend Trisha from these accusations, with a slew of commenters supporting her outfit following the backlash. “I hate when people mean well, but don’t know what they’re talking about,” one user wrote. “This is not blackface, in fact, this is what black people ask of non-black people. Relay the person’s likeness without darkening the skin/trying to appear black.” Even Ice Spice herself shouted out Trisha’s costume in her Instagram stories, saying that the YouTuber “ate” up her outfit. That’s far from the only costume Trisha has donned for the season, though. Just recently, she and fellow influencer Tana Mongeau dressed up as fembots from Austin Powers in an October 22 podcast episode.

  • Trisha Paytas slams “stalker” for following them during wedding trip – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas slams “stalker” for following them during wedding trip TikTok: animalsckingdom / YouTube: blndsundoll4mjYouTuber Trisha Paytas recently called out a TikToker for filming them during their second destination wedding to husband Moses Hacmon. YouTuber and all-around influencer Trisha Paytas recently tied the knot with artist and architect Moses Hacmon, brother to fellow YouTuber and artist Hila Klein. While the two initially held a ceremony in Las Vegas, they later traveled to Maui to tie the knot again in a glamorous second destination wedding. However, the couple weren’t away from prying eyes during their romantic getaway. One person on TikTok notably uploaded a video full of paparazzi-esque photos of the wedded pair, some of which showed they were being followed around their resort. A few were taken in close proximity to Hacmon, with one image even being taken in the same elevator as the artist. Trisha Paytas took notice of the video and responded in another TikTok, blasting the person for what they dubbed “stalking” behavior. Click here if TikTok fails to load.

Filming anyone without their permission or consent is super rude.” Paytas went on to call the video an “invasion of privacy” and re-iterated that they are always happy to take photos with fans… as long as they ask.

While Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein have become quite the popular pair due to their “Frenemies” podcast, the two influencers were not always buddy-buddy; in May 2019, Klein notably sparked a feud with Paytas after criticizing them for photoshopping their body in a video that quickly went viral. Paytas took issue with Klein’s comments, and in October 2019, the H3H3 co-host invited them onto his podcast to hash out the situation. They appeared on several other episodes afterward and became a regular presence in a new show humorously named “Frenemies” as a reference to their previous beef with each other. 39 episodes later, Paytas has officially quit the podcast, as revealed in an emotional June 8 YouTube video. In their upload, Paytas claimed that they’d spoken to Klein about an outburst of theirs during a recent recording of the “Frenemies” podcast, with Klein claiming that the production crew “wasn’t happy” with Paytas’ comments. During the latest episode of the podcast, Paytas argued that they “didn’t get input on people we hire,” referring to a new hire Klein had made without their knowledge. Paytas went on to spat with him over production costs and a new studio he’d purchased in Downtown Los Angeles for the H3H3 Podcast. Their conversation quickly turned into a tense back-and-forth, with Klein claiming that Paytas got a “generous” cut of the show’s profits and Paytas stating they felt left out of the bigger business decisions. Paytas later asked to end the podcast after Klein accused them of “gaslighting” him. (Topic begins at 1:30:00) In their announcement video, Paytas admitted to having some confusion as to who was getting what percentage of profits from the Frenemies and Highlights YouTube episodes, and stated there had been some disagreement over a new hire that was not brought to their attention.

I don’t really know what more I can say or do. I’m very sorry to all the fans of Frenemies, I know how much it meant to everyone, I did everything I humanly could to save it.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1402330347992358919 The H3 Twitter account also confirmed that this would be the “last” Frenemies episode, making for disappointing news for their fanbase and marking an end to an iconic YouTube podcast series.

During the August 18 episode, they explained why relations are still “sh**ty” with the Vlog Squad founder. This isn’t the first time Trisha has been outspoken about the YouTuber’s controversies. In July 2021, the YouTube star even called out Vlog Squad member Natalie Noah for defending David from the backlash. Fans stood by Trisha’s side for calling out the YouTube clique, citing “gaslighting” as the reason Trisha felt hurt. On August 13, the social media sensation explained why they “can’t let up” on David’s “traumatic crime.” Trisha was quizzed about the pair’s current friendship status by Keemstar on the August 18 episode of ‘Mom’s Basement.’ The ‘Drama Alert’ host stated that “David got canceled, big time” and “lost a lot.” He asked Trisha whether they could “see yourself being cool with David?” Shooting all hopes of reconciliation out of the water, Trisha admitted that they couldn’t see themselves being cool with the YouTuber. “Definitely not… with David,” they said. “But I’m always down to… talk to someone.” The YouTube star previously stated in a Tweet that they like to “discuss and debate.” The content creator claimed that “David and Jason (Nash) took zero accountability.” They revealed that neither party “reached out”, and “they have a lot more bad karma coming their way.” In relation to their former romance with Jason, Trisha said that “he did a lot of sh**ty things to a lot of sh**ty people.” Topic starts at 8:30 After discussing David’s apology to Gabbie Hanna, Trisha doubled down on needing one for themselves. “The stuff he did to me wasn’t that much… it was like tormenting.” Nonetheless, the YouTuber stated she still finds David “gross” and claims he’s “running away from (the situation).” Trisha claimed they “still get all this hate” from fans of the Vlog Squad.

    Trisha Paytas tells Logan Paul why she hates “disgusting” PewDiePie Instagram: trishapaytas / YouTube: pewdiepieTrisha Paytas has taken aim at fellow YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, labeling him “irrelevant” and “disgusting”, during an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. Trisha Paytas is a long-time content creator on YouTube, uploading to the platform since 2007, and the 31-year-old has amassed a cult following thanks to her music career, and her incredibly candid videos in which she discusses her relationships, and more. The American’s honesty has created tension with other YouTubers in the past, including PewDiePie, who uploaded a video back in May criticizing her after she invited YouTuber Nikocado Avocado to Los Angeles to collaborate, and then allegedly “ghosted” him when he arrived. Paytas is currently touring the U.S. as part of her music career. Paytas has not forgiven the Swede for making the video, in which he labeled her behavior as “gross,” and when Logan Paul asked for her opinions on the 29-year-old, she quickly fired back at him and his channel. “Ew. F**k him and his declining views,” she said as an image of the YouTuber appeared. “Everyone’s like ‘Wow, he’s the most subscribed,’ you get a f**king million views on YouTube, like what the f**k.” “He did a video about me. I’m like the most irrelevant person. This is where your content is coming (from) where you’re doing a video about me ghosting someone? PewDiePie, f**k all the way off. You’re disgusting, your humor sucks, and you should stick to playing video games. F**k PewDiePie, I hate him.” Logan and co-hosts Spencer Taylor and Mike Majlak were stunned by the outburst, staring at the camera with expressions of shock, moving quickly on to her opinion of Jake Paul. “F**k him too!” she stated. “He can’t back up his sh*t because he’s like: ‘Trisha calling out David, people did that me when they left Team 10.’ No, I called out David for talking about me in a f**king video, you didn’t talk about any of your Team 10 members. Something completely different, he didn’t know what the f**k he was talking about.” PewDiePie isn’t the only YouTuber Paytas has had a public spat with, as she is involved in a war of words with David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad, claiming back in August that Dobrik had “ruined” her life in the aftermath of her breakup with Jason Nash. The Swede has yet to respond to Trisha Paytas’ damning words, refraining from mentioning her on his social media channels or in any videos.

  • Trisha Paytas slams David Dobrik’s apology video: “It’s cowardly” – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas slams David Dobrik’s apology video: “It’s cowardly” Instagram: Trishapaytasbackup / Instagram: DaviddobrikWithin a day of David Dobrik posting an apology video in response to multiple controversies surrounding former Vlog Squad members, Trisha Paytas released her own follow-up, calling him “cowardly.” Throughout much of 2021, Dobrik has come under fire for a number of heated controversies. From ex-collaborators detailing their experience as “traumatizing,” to others being accused of sexual assault, Dobrik has been at the center of it all. The social media star finally broke his silence on March 16 with a two-minute YouTube video. Throughout his response, Dobrik explained how he’s “grown as a person” and no longer “agrees with some of the videos [he’s] posted.” While he specified two key examples, apologizing to Seth Francois and distancing himself from Dominykas Zeglaitis, otherwise known as ‘Durte Dom,’ Paytas believes this video was far from apologetic. “It’s cowardly,” she labeled it in a March 16 YouTube video of her own. In a 23 minute response, Paytas outlined much of her own experience with Dobrik while slamming his apology. “He’s missing the whole point,” she said. Rather than taking accountability for his actions, Paytas argues Dobrik was looking to “shift all the blame. [He] didn’t even acknowledge what he did is wrong.” “He did not apologize,” she continued in a series of posts on TikTok. “He said he distanced himself from Dom and other friends that made poor decisions. He gave a very brief apology to Seth without delving into what he did wrong.” “Why do you have to deflect and try to put it on someone else? Less than a week ago, he was feeding Scott text to try and prove Seth was a liar. He’s not sorry, he’s just trying to save face.” As a former member of the Vlog Squad, Paytas also explained how she experienced similar issues with Dobrik firsthand. “I didn’t give consent,” she said in reference to numerous clips that made it into various vlogs. “I don’t think he understands what consent is at all.” Dobrik is yet to issue any further statements since his March 16 YouTube apology. We’ll provide any updates as further information comes to light.

    Trisha Paytas slams David Dobrik for “ruining” her life in emotional video Trisha Paytas, YouTube / David Dobrik, InstagramYouTube star David Dobrik is a popular face on the platform, boasting over 13 million subscribers as of August 24 – but fellow YouTuber Trisha Paytas is claiming that the vlogger has “ruined” her life. Paytas uploaded a video on August 24 responding to YouTuber Jeff Wittek, who discussed an incident at a Starbucks where he allegedly saw Paytas – but didn’t mention her by name in his podcast episode on the subject. According to Wittek, he left the Starbucks without causing a scene, although he refused to make eye contact with Paytas because he “doesn’t have any respect” for the YouTuber. (Timestamp: 12:00 for mobile users) Paytas gets emotional in her video response While Wittek refused to name Paytas, she directly claimed that she was the person in question, and lashed out at both Wittek and David Dobrik, claiming that the past year has been “the worst year of her life.” “Me and Jason had to hide our friendship or whatever the fuck we were for three months, because David did not want me in the friend group because I made a video about an uncomfortable incident that happened to me in my relationship!” Paytas yelled through tears. What incident is Paytas talking about in her latest video? The incident Paytas referred to occurred earlier this year, after she spoke out about her ex-boyfriend Jason Nash joking about having a threesome with YouTuber Tana Mongeau – who was just twenty years old at the time, compared to Nash’s 45 years. This proposition made both Paytas and Mongeau uncomfortable, with Dobrik allegedly shutting Paytas out of the “Vlog Squad” due to the ensuing drama. While Paytas’ original video has since been deleted from YouTube, copies of her emotional spiel are still floating across the platform – and the beef is still ongoing, with the YouTuber accusing Dobrik of “using” other content creators for his vlogs before kicking them out of the squad. “I’ll call his name out, David Dobrik – the worst,” Paytas said in her latest video. “Uses, uses, uses, and then, ‘Oh, you’re not good anymore? Get her out of the group.’” 600Dobrik has yet to speak out on Paytas’ video as of publishing this article.

    Trisha Paytas says James Charles “should go to prison” over past sexting controversy YouTube: Trisha Paytas / James CharlesInfluencer Trisha Paytas said she believed James Charles “should go to prison” in a video posted to their YouTube channel. In it, they criticized the fellow Youtuber over allegations made against him from minors earlier in 2021. Paytas certainly didn’t mince their words describing Charles as “gross and creepy,” and “disgusting.” They also said he “shouldn’t even be on the internet.” The comments were made after Charles attempted to make a comeback after a series of controversies relating to his dating life and relationship with young fans. Charles admitted to sending sexually explicit messages to fans aged 15 to 17 in early 2021 after a number of allegations were made against him. Charles insists that he didn’t know they were underage at the time. The drama between Charles and Paytas goes way back and seemed to end when Paytas apologized to Charles as well as Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, whom they were feuding with at the time. At the time, Paytas declared they were quitting social media for good though Paytas continues to post regularly on their social media channels. Trisha goes in on James Charles Charles returned with a video posted to his YouTube channel on July 2 that was temporarily demonetized due to the sexting scandal, and Paytas wasn’t impressed. “Everyone is asking me like “Oh my god James Charles might come back, do you want to comment on it?” Trisha starts when Moses, their fiance, says “Who cares.” Topic starts at 4:54 Trisha then agrees and continues, “Obviously James Charles is gross and creepy. I’m glad that’s been brought to awareness but it’s like he’s back. People forgive him. There’s only so much you can do because the people who were the victims, the minors, don’t come forward”. After discussing allegations against Bill Cosby, Paytas swings back to Charles. Paytas goes on to say “you can only shout about it so much. People will either see it or they won’t.” Paytas then dropped their most incendiary comment saying that James Charles “should go to prison …. but hey, he’s back on the internet.” Finally, Trisha concluded: “I don’t really have too many thoughts on it other than that he’s gross. What am I going to do? Make a video about that? You’re disgusting, you should not be on the internet.” Charles’ new video, titled “An Open Conversation,” has been heavily criticized on social media since it was posted on July 2.

  • Trisha Paytas says she regrets making fun of Charli D’Amelio and Loren Gray – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas says she regrets making fun of Charli D’Amelio and Loren Gray Instagram: loren, charlidamelio / YouTube: Zach Sang ShowOG influencer Trisha Paytas has admitted that she “feels bad” for poking fun at TikTok stars Charli D’Amelio and Loren Gray in the past. Trisha Paytas is a new mom to baby Malibu Barbie, and she says that becoming a parent has helped reframe her mindset around certain topics. After giving birth in September, Paytas is making the rounds on podcasts and interviews, most recently appearing in an episode of the Zach Sang show on December 15. During the conversation, Paytas admitted that she regretted certain comments she made about younger influencers in the past — most notably Loren Gray and Charli D’Amelio. Paytas hit out at Gray during an episode of her now-defunct ‘Frenemies’ podcast with H3H3’s Ethan Klein, calling the TikToker “that girl that no one knows” (something Gray jokingly said was a “humbling moment” in her career). Paytas also uploaded several videos calling the D’Amelio sisters (Charli and Dixie) “ungrateful,” pointing out viral moments like the time Dixie gagged at escargot made by her family’s personal chef. In fact, Charli herself called out Trisha Paytas in a TikTok live stream, calling the influencer “completely rude” and saying “you have your own problems, please stop worrying about mine.” Two years later, Paytas says that she isn’t a fan of how she acted toward the young TikTok stars and is reevaluating her mindset toward youths trying to make it in the industry. Trisha Paytas “feels bad” for making fun of Loren Gray and Charli D’Amelio “I felt so bad. I was like, why am I picking on this little girl?” Paytas said. “I felt so bad. I was like, oh my god, I look so embarrassing. It’s like when Wendy Williams would come for people, and you’re just like, ugh. You’re like this old person.” “I don’t wanna be this old hag coming for little kids, you know what I mean?” she continued. “I had to reevaluate. Same thing with Charli D’Amelio and Dixie D’Amelio. I would clown on her music. Like, why? Why was I doing that? I was such a hater. I felt so bad.” (Topic begins at 1:11:20) Although Loren nor the D’Amelio sisters have yet to publicly respond to Paytas’ comments, it’s clear that the new mom regrets her past comments toward the TikTokers — two of which are coming back for a third season of the D’Amelio Show next year.

According to Paytas, she is effectively retiring from her role as a full-time YouTuber, citing stress from constantly creating content and even admitting that the platform was her lowest source of income as reasons for stepping back from the site. “YouTube is no longer my priority,” the star explained. “…I was stressing about it, like, ‘What am I gonna do?’ …this was my lowest form of income. There was definitely no money motivation. as far as views, there wasn’t really view motivation.” That’s not all: she likewise revealed that she has become more popular on other platforms like TikTok and Patreon, and has chosen to prioritize those income streams accordingly, as well as claiming that she hasn’t received much positive feedback on YouTube, in comparison. “YouTube was always my biggest passion,” she continued. “It motivated me — not only in money, but views, people liked it, I was getting good feedback. I’m just not getting great feedback anymore on YouTube. …I just lost my passion and creativity for it.” Of course, the content creator isn’t going to give up YouTube for good; instead, she plans on treating the platform as more of a “hobby,” where she hopes to home future music videos and side projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tinpHHI0UkI This news follows a tumultuous year for the social media celeb, who came under fire after coming out as transgender in 2019.

    Trisha Paytas reveals wild story of how she was shot at by a celebrity H3 Podcast Highlights, YouTubeYouTube star Trisha Paytas is known for the wild moments that have occurred throughout her career as an entertainer, but fans weren’t expecting a crazy story she told on the H3H3 Podcast. While Paytas has done everything from making music to modeling and more, the social media celebrity is best recognized for her emotional videos opening up to fans on her kitchen floor, as well as her beef with other personalities on the net. Thus, it came as little surprise to viewers when she squashed her famous feud with H3H3’s Ethan Klein by appearing on his podcast — but their discussion soon turned to a topic that left their jaws on the floor. Paytas was in the middle of the podcast when Klein’s wife and comedy partner, Hila, asked about the YouTuber’s storied past; more specifically, her wild nights in her younger years. Her answer came as quite a shock when she revealed that she’d been shot at by an unnamed celebrity when she was 22 years old, who she refused to identify for fear that he would sue her for telling the wild tale. “I had a guy that just liked to shoot at your head when he was f**ked up,” she answered. “He got off, like, almost killing you. But he was like, ‘I’m not such a good shot, I’m not going to,’ and he would shoot around your head.” The YouTuber went on to claim that the incident took place in Malibu, California, and that she was even forced to sign an NDA — even though she was under the influence of questionable substances. “For me, I left right away, because I thought he was going to kill me because I was f**ked up,” she continued. “I remember I got in my car and left. …he’s like, it turns him on to shoot guns. …he told me to stand over there, and just shot around my head. That’s what I remember.” Despite claiming that the incident was “consensual,” Klein expressed great concern over the morality of the situation and her safety — but thanks to their informative discussion on NDAs, it looks like Paytas is going to review some of the more sketchy agreements she’s made in the past.

Colleen Ballinger, best known for her ‘Miranda Sings’ character, has been hit hard with backlash following multiple former fans coming forward with inappropriate stories surrounding the content creator. From bullying to grooming to sharing unsolicited nudes, Ballinger has been accused of quite a bit. Her response? A musical number that many feel doesn’t deserve the title of an apology and mocks those affected by Ballinger’s actions. Now, fellow YouTuber and media personality Trisha Paytas is speaking up on the controversy. Paytas makes her stance clear in the video posted to YouTube. She is unimpressed by Ballinger’s dismissal of her former fans and disgusted to find out that her private photos have been publicly shared and mocked. “It’s very serious and it’s a topic I don’t take lightly and I can’t take lightly,” Paytas said, explaining that she has taken a step back from internet drama but feels the current issue goes beyond that. Paytas admitted she feels embarrassed to have found out Ballinger was sharing her explicit photos with underage fans, all the while acting as Paytas’ friend. “I do not condone at all unsolicited nudes [being sent]. Sex worker or not, I think using someone’s nudes as a way to hurt them, make fun of them, make light of them [or] be mean is the lowest form of intelligence,” Paytas said. “I think that’s so inhumane. I think that’s so disgusting.” Paytas claimed that there were multiple occasions in which Ballinger used her private photos for a joke. Paytas also added that when she asked Ballinger about the controversy, Ballinger denied everything and assured her that she had not shared any photos. When Paytas ultimately saw evidence of Ballinger’s actions, she said her “heart was racing” and felt sick to her stomach. She said, “That’s probably the worst I’ve seen from someone that I’ve considered a friend. That’s pretty barbaric, that’s pretty misogynistic, and it is downright cruel.” Prior to Ballinger’s backlash, Paytas had teamed up with the YouTuber to make a podcast together — a series not expected to return anytime soon. “She does not exist to me anymore,” Paytas concluded, praised by fans for her mature, well-thought, and genuine response.

  • Trisha Paytas quits “toxic” social media after apologizing to James Charles & D’Amelios – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas quits “toxic” social media after apologizing to James Charles & D’Amelios Twitter, @TrishaPaytas / YouTube, Dixie D’AmelioNo stranger to drama, influencer Trisha Paytas has apologized to James Charles, Charli and Dixie D’Amelio before claims that she will delete her social media profiles due to toxicity. Nearly 700,000 followers on Twitter, 3.9 million on TikTok and nearly 200,000 on her backup Instagram (her original was deleted), Trisha Paytas boasts an enormous social footprint on the internet. But, following another string of drama with some of the world’s biggest influencers, she is planning to disable it all. Absolute, unrelenting candor has become a staple of the Paytas presence. From David Dobrik and Ethan ‘h3h3’ Klein to, more recently, James Charles and the D’Amelio sisters, Paytas is more familiar with web beef than a podcast advertisement for Omaha Steaks. Within months of the latest drama, though, the outspoken influencer is toning it down and stepping back. In a video posted to her TikTok account on January 8, Paytas let fans (and haters) know that, due to toxicity, she would be closing off her presence on social media. Simultaneously, she made a brief apology to Charles and the D’Amelio sisters. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1347936156734824449 Front camera on, makeup off and set in a dark room, Paytas breaks her traditional, eclectic, TikTok grid with the brief video explaining her need to leave social media. To start the video, she quickly updated fans on her plans moving forward: “I’m leaving the app, for real. I’m leaving social media. It’s a really toxic place and I wish you all well.” Then, she added on a succinct apology to the massive influencers who have been involved in her recent beef: “I want to apologize to Charli, Dixie and James.” Trailing off with an “um” after the apology, Paytas cuts the video off and provides no further elaboration. Instead, the next day she posted two videos following her traditional content, one about new sunglasses and one about grilled cheese. And, finally, she posted a final video explaining her plans. The next day, Trisha Paytas said she is quitting again due to the harassment pic.twitter.com/CoBkH1upU7 — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) January 9, 2021 While Paytas has yet to delete any of her social media profiles, she confirms on TikTok that it remains her intention. Instead, she promises fans that they’ll still have some limited access to her content: “You can find me on YouTube, I’m going to be focusing on me, my family and my fiance.” Charles and the D’Amelio sisters haven’t responded to the apology while fans are reluctant to believe the accounts will be deleted. Regardless, Paytas leaves her viewers with a simple message: “For those of you showed me love, thank you. For those of you who showed me hate, you win.”

  • Trisha Paytas “relieved” after David Dobrik is called out by ex-Vlog Squad members – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas “relieved” after David Dobrik is called out by ex-Vlog Squad members Instagram: Trisha Paytas/David DobrikYouTuber Trisha Paytas, who has a long-running feud with David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad, has opened up after former Vlog Squad member Seth Francois described how Dobrik tricked him into making “traumatizing” content in an episode of the H3 podcast. Admitting in a YouTube video that she was “triggered” by the episode, Trisha said that “for so long [she] thought that [her fall-out with Dobrik] was [her] fault.” However, recalling how Francois first made allegations against Dobrik last year, Paytas said that she felt “so relieved that Seth spoke out.” “Whenever I speak out about someone, my credibility is shot, and I get why,” she continued. “So, when someone else can back up what I’m saying – and there’s so many parallels – I felt so relieved to hear [Francois] share his story in depth.” Referring to Nik Kewaski’s account as well as Francois’, Paytas went on to say that “these stories aren’t to cancel or to hate on somebody, but just to take accountability and say sorry.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvFV_IwRbcs&feature=youtu.be Trisha then went on to share her own story about working with Dobrik, where she claims he got her then-boyfriend James Nash to film with Madison Beer and Tana Mongeau behind her back shortly after making jokes about Nash wanting to sleep with a younger woman. “I usually am so easy going and I am willing to be the butt of the joke. I have a really good sense of humor and awareness. I like being the joke sometimes,” she continued.

Dobrik is yet to respond publicly to these latest allegations.

Usually considered to be Dobrik’s right-hand man, Nash has found himself in hot water over the YouTube stars “pranks,” albeit mostly by association. However, he has also found himself in additional controversy after footage of him with a then-2o-year-old Tana Mongeau resurfaced.

  • Trisha Paytas names her newborn baby after Barbie doll and fans are split – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas names her newborn baby after Barbie doll and fans are split YouTube: blndsundoll4mjYouTube star Trisha Paytas has given birth to her first child — but the baby’s name, Malibu Barbie, is throwing some fans for a loop. Trisha Paytas is a YouTube star, podcast host, and now a mom, announcing the birth of her baby girl on September 15, 2022. While fans are certainly excited about this latest development for their favorite influencer, they’re also a bit uneasy due to her child’s name — Malibu Barbie. Paytas named her daughter after the Malibu Barbie doll, a specific version of the iconic toy that first debuted in 1971 with the “Sun Set” Malibu Barbie and friends. Since then, this particular version of Barbie has become somewhat of a cultural monolith for her beachy fashion and bright colors… but not everyone is sure this is the best name for a child. “Please tell me you did not actually curse your child with the name ‘Malibu Barbie,’” one user wrote on Twitter in response to the news. please tell me you did not actually curse your child with the name “malibu barbie” — big_man3 (@BloodyGummms) September 15, 2022 “No to the name… think about her! She will be teased in school!” another urged. No to the name… think about her! She will be teased in school! — Susie Buchanan (@susiebuchanan66) September 15, 2022 Still others compared Paytas to Debbie Jelinsky from the Addams Family Values film — the character Morticia loathed for wearing “pastels.” There were also a slew of users who couldn’t help but mention the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who some were convinced Trisha would name her baby after as her due date was quite close to the monarch’s passing. Trisha Paytas responds to rumors of naming baby after Queen Elizabeth II Trisha herself denied naming her baby after the ruler, noting that she hadn’t even had her baby yet, as some were claiming she’d given birth on the same days as the Queen’s passing. “I didn’t want to say anything,” she explained in a TikTok video. “I didn’t want to make it about me or anything. It just felt weird. I’m so sorry to the Royal Family that my name was trending under the Queen’s.” For now, Trisha is focusing on “staying out of drama” as she celebrates the birth of her first baby — regardless of how the internet feels about her name.

  • Trisha Paytas hits out at H3H3 for “ruining” her relationship – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas hits out at H3H3 for “ruining” her relationship YouTube: blndsundoll4mj / H3 PodcastYouTuber Trisha Paytas hit out at H3H3’s Ethan Klein on Twitter after claiming he ruined her relationship with his brother-in-law. The personality went off on the podcast host in a Twitter tirade. H3H3’s relationship with Paytas has been a tumultuous one, after Ethan Klein featured her in a video in May 2019 where he called out influencers using Photoshop to touch up their bodies. They mended bridges earlier in 2020, though, after she was invited on the H3 podcast and was slotted to be the contestant on their Bachelorette segment. However, things quickly fell apart amid dating drama. Trisha Paytas blames H3H3 for ruining relationship The whole thing kicked off at the end of March when Paytas uploaded an image to Instagram of her and Hila Klein’s brother Moses together. Ethan and his wife seemed blindsided by their supposed relationship. However, on April 13 Paytas posted a series of now deleted Tweets aimed at Ethan Klein, in which she called him the “f**king worst and accused them of “abandoning Moses” and ruining their relationship. Ethan quickly fired back, stating, “Do you really think you need any help f**king up relationships?” He then mocked her video on the situation as being too long. Klein was referring to her YouTube video which she uploaded the same day. In the clip, she emotionally explained that she was “heartbroken” and was told she had been dumped on the H3 podcast. “I found out it’s over through the podcast. They say Moses texted them “it’s over,” she said. Trisha stated being broken up through someone else really hurt. “Getting broken up via text or phone really sucks. But getting broken up with on a podcast really sucks. Through not even him, but someone else. Especially someone that has been mean to me and trolled me in the past.” Paytas then hit out at Ethan and Hila. “From podcast one, they’ve been really mean to me. Ethan and Hila. Ethan was like I disavow this. Said he would do anything to sabotage our relationship. Hila said me tweeting about her brother’s s** life felt a direct attack. Hila was like “she’s never allowed over at my house!” she continued. (Timestamp 21:34 for mobile users.) It remains to be seen if Ethan addresses the situation on the podcast, as there hasn’t been an episode since April 10. Although it wouldn’t be too surprising if the Kleins tackled it given the drama swirling around it. Trisha Paytas took down the tweets almost immediately, but has still left up her YouTube video. However this gets resolved, this is another example of how dating can get messy fast when it involves family.

Shortly after, Trisha responded to the comments in a series of videos. “I guess these comments are supposed to offend me, but even if I spent every last dollar at least I’m enjoying my life,” they said. “That’s what I like to preach. I never claim to be like super-wealthy, I’ve always said I like to spend my money. Is that a crime?” In a second video, they responded specifically to claims that Moses was in economy. “You know what I don’t understand, is people’s elitist comments like this. Like one, my husband would be that husband that would let me take a first-class flight and sit in economy.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load They then encouraged the commenters to go and check Moses’ TikTok, where he uploaded a video of his own first-class seat. Trisha also stressed that there’s “nothing wrong with economy,” and added, “y’all out here be hating on everything.”

Most intensely, since the livestream aired, TikTok user ‘ab_stinence’ went on a personal attack against Paytas, claiming “Trisha Paytas is the last person in the world that should be mothering a child.” In a rather calm response, Trisha stated that they’ve been sober and not involved in drama since 2020. Additionally adding: “the idea of commenting on someone else’s reproductive choices just feels ick to me.” Paytas went on to say that all of the negativity came from people who “wish misery” on the star and unborn child. Ultimately chalking much of it down to jealousy: “They just can’t stand to see other people happy because they’re so miserable with their own lives.”

  • Trisha Paytas hits back at outrage after claiming to have DID – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas hits back at outrage after claiming to have DID Trisha Paytas, YouTubeInternet star Trisha Paytas is hitting back at online outrage, after being called out by top YouTuber Anthony Padilla for claiming to have Dissociative Identity Disorder — commonly called Multiple Personality Disorder. Padilla is known for his popular YouTube series, titled “I Spent a Day With,” where he sits down with a variety of people from various demographics for an in-depth discussion about their life experiences. One of his videos in this series focused on a woman with DID; and considering their eye-opening conversation, was quick to call out Paytas after the star uploaded a video claiming to also have the disorder. In her March 12 video, titled, “Meet My Alter,” Paytas admitted to “self-diagnosing” herself with DID and MPD, claiming that she felt she’d never created her own personality and was always “borrowing” from other people’s identities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcOdCuluFyo Needless to say, her video quickly went viral online, with both Padilla and his girlfriend Mykie posting Instagram stories expressing their disappointment over the matter. “Claiming you have Dissociative Identity Disorder is not a cool excuse to mock people in the community and call them crazy,” Padilla wrote over a recording of Paytas’ video. https://twitter.com/gershyskiss/status/1238465995028795395?s=20 https://twitter.com/itbel1kethat/status/1238424808590901248?s=20 Fans were quick to echo similar sentiments, with commenters across Twitter and YouTube taking issue with Paytas’s video. “…this is VERY damaging to an already damaged and alienated community,” one user wrote. “This hurts me to watch. You spread so much mis-information in this, and quite frankly, it seems as though you are trying to use this as an excuse for your bad behavior.” Trisha paytas claiming she has DID & spreading false information is absolutely disgusting & so damaging to the community. I’m so so sorry to those this has impacted. Also those commenting ‘diagnosing’ her with BPD – stop. Just fucking stop.— 𝕶𝖊𝖌𝖆𝖓 (@smallxflame) March 13, 2020 The YouTuber has since responded to the widespread hate against her due to the video, calling out Padilla in particular for his Instagram story on the subject in an upload the very next day. “I think it’s apparent to everybody that has watched me for some time that I have a lot of mental health issues,” she argued. “…the minute I open up about it, I’m s**ted on, and told, ‘No you’re not.’” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4qTpY-dC6c Even the woman featured in Padilla’s video on DID has reacted to Paytas’s initial video, taking special care to note that Paytas called her “crazy” when describing her first impressions of their conversation. This comes after the backlash Trisha received in 2019 after coming out as a transgender man — another issue brought up in critics’ replies to her most recent divisive video.

  • Trisha Paytas fires back at “scary” Gabbie Hanna in heated feud – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas fires back at “scary” Gabbie Hanna in heated feud Instagram: gabbiehanna/Instagram: trishapaytasYouTuber Gabbie Hanna has announced that she will be releasing a song on September 25th – a song that she describes as being “kind of a diss track” about fellow YouTuber and influencer Trisha Paytas. [jwplayer smynPnSq] It has been just three weeks since Hanna dramatically returned to YouTube after six-week hiatus, but it hasn’t taken long for her to be embroiled in new controversies. In a 46-minute video discussing her return to YouTube, she mentioned that she would soon be releasing the first single from her album, which she described as being “written about Trisha Paytas for Trisha Paytas.” Paytas and Hanna have a long history of bad blood, with the former accusing Hanna of harassment back in November 2019 after she allegedly told Paytas’ boyfriend that she had herpes. Now, in what is seemingly an intensification of this feud, Hanna expanded upon her first single in an interview with Keemstar. Although she maintains that the song was originally written for Paytas and “doesn’t come from a place of hate”, she admitted in the interview that the song “sounds like a diss track”. Of course, the Twittersphere responded to this latest move with great enthusiasm. Gabbie Hanna: I’m done with the drama Gabbie Hanna: But here’s a diss track — SalomeaArtistry (@ArtistrySalomea) September 11, 2020 One user pointed out how Hanna’s recent claims of being “done with the drama” are somewhat contradictory given she is making a whole diss track about another YouTuber, while another suggested that Paytas gets even by unveiling her own diss track… Now that we’d love to see. https://twitter.com/ITS_DANIELPEREZ/status/1304615983580053504 Trisha Paytas responds to “diss track” It didn’t take Trisha Paytas long to make her feelings known on this peculiar step in Gabbie Hanna’s music career. Taking to Twitter, Paytas tells Hanna to “enjoy her s****y song” and to “please visit a psych ward after”. She also reaffirmed her desire to have “zero association” with Hanna. https://twitter.com/GabbieHanna/status/1304585787422289920 In (a slightly puzzling) response, Hanna assured Paytas that the song would “embody [her] in a really powerful way” and offered to give her a preview of the music video. Meanwhile, Paytas compiled an explosive thread containing numerous allegations against Hanna, accusing her of lying about being assaulted and calling her a “r**e apologist” amongst other things. Hey Gabbie Hanna – I know I’m an easy target but let’s not forget u being 1) rape apologist 2) lying about a man assaulting u (rice gum) 3) not paying ur producers early on 4) not crediting ur producers early on 5) leaving ur best friend on nye while she was fucked up cont.— Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) September 12, 2020 With Hanna seemingly sticking to her guns about this song – which she promised to release alongside an “awesome music video” – it seems like this feud is far from over.

  • Trisha Paytas flees from “creepy” stranger filming her car – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas flees from “creepy” stranger filming her car YouTube: blndsundoll4mjYouTube star Trisha Paytas was in the middle of filming a TikTok inside her car when she was approached by a stranger who kept following her as she drove away, even after being asked to leave her alone. Trisha Paytas is known for filming in several different settings for her videos, one of which is inside her vehicle. The influencer often speaks candidly to her fans while chowing down on some drive-through meals, which is exactly what she was trying to do while filming a recent TikTok. Unfortunately for Paytas, her presence caught the attention of a bystander, who took out his phone and tapped on her door in an attempt to get her to film a video for his child. Paytas was clearly not in the mood to collaborate and asked him to leave — but he continued to record, even as she pulled out of her parking spot and made to exit the restaurant’s parking lot. “Seriously, if you come knocking on my door!” she exclaimed. “Like, it’s so creepy! And then to demand that I talk to your kid? It is a man on a phone saying, ‘Roll down your window! Roll down your window!’ I won’t do it! It’s not right, it’s not cool.” Paytas captioned the video: “This harassment is not okay. Outside my car, you can say hi to me. When I’m inside my car, it’s the same as being inside my home. It’s a huge boundary that is crossed.” Paytas uploaded another video further clarifying the situation, calling the ordeal “terrifying” and claiming that the stranger was “mocking” her while making his request. The YouTuber even claimed that the stranger followed her in his car while she was driving on the freeway, and alleged that he was yelling such statements to her as: “Oh, you’re too good!” “Now I’m scared to go home because this dude knows my car,” she admitted. “He’s in my area. If your dad was in an Arby’s at Thousand Oaks at 3 PM, your dad is a piece of ****.” This is far from the first time an influencer has been harangued by a total stranger, but Trisha’s latest run-in with an allegedly belligerent bystander is sparking a conversation across social media about respecting the privacy of the internet famous. Some fans might feel a certain “closeness” to YouTubers after watching videos and vlogs, but these interactions aren’t always welcome, nevertheless.

  • Trisha Paytas ‘exposed’ for ghosting fellow YouTuber Nikocado Avocado and lying about it – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas ‘exposed’ for ghosting fellow YouTuber Nikocado Avocado and lying about it Trisha Paytas, Instagram / Nikocado Avocado, YouTubePopular YouTuber Trisha Paytas is no stranger to controversy – but this time, she’s under fire for some serious drama with a fan and fellow content creator on the platform. YouTuber Nikocado Avocado uploaded a video on May 10, where he exposed Paytas for, allegedly, completely ghosting him after making plans to meet up. However, this wasn’t just any hangout; Nikocado had actually flown from Colombia to Los Angeles to meet up with Paytas, after the two had discussed flights and ideas for collaborative videos together, as evidenced by screenshots that Nikocado claims are of their direct messages. “I won’t be able to move on until I let people know what happened, and what she did to me, and how it made me feel.” Nikocado tearily said of the issue. “This hurt a lot more, what I went through with Trisha. It hurt so much. And I’ve never talked about it.” The drama began after Nikocado created an instrumental cover of Paytas’s song “Warrior” in 2017 for a contest, after which she claimed to be a professed fan of his work and made an effort to get in touch with him for a collaborative video. 600https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhL5XpbuzFkWhen Nikocado finally made the trek to Los Angeles, he apparently found himself ghosted by the YouTube star for the entire week – who explained her absence in a series of videos after the fact, claiming that she had “no idea” that he was even traveling to see her and even professed not to know him outside of his cover of her song. “I was never going to,” Paytas said of the matter during one video. “I was never going to collab, you know what I mean? I don’t know where that came from!” According to Nikocado, Paytas went on to edit their messages and even spread the faked screenshots across the web, prompting her audience to send a slew of hate his way for being a “desperate social climber” and a “manipulative person.” Paytas has since uploaded a 43-minute long video on the topic, where she claimed that she was “not comfortable meeting up” with someone she hadn’t yet met, appearing to question his mental state due to a video of Nikocado “waving a knife” at his husband. Paytas has come under fire from fans and various members of the community, including Drama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, for changing her story and, if the supplied evidence is to be believed, smearing Nikocado’s name in an attempt to divert attention from her actions. Paytas was recently called out by YouTuber Ethan Klein of H3H3 for photshopping her Instagram pictures – he claimed that such practices are damaging to Paytas’ young audience, who might try to achieve such impossible standards of beauty. However, Klein’s video garnered ample backlash, after some viewers took issue with him calling women in unedited photos “manatees” or “Twinkies,” with Paytas herself calling Klein’s video “predatory.”

  • Trisha Paytas’ fiancé Moses Hacmon responds to cheating rumors – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas’ fiancé Moses Hacmon responds to cheating rumors Instagram: trishapaytasbackupMoses Hacmon, fiancé of YouTuber Trisha Paytas, has denied claims that he cheated after rumors began circulating online, saying that people are “making up lies” to upset them. Trisha and Moses first met in 2020 as part of a Bachelorette style series hosted by H3H3 Productions’ Ethan and Hila (who is Moses’ sister.) The pair started contacting each other outside of the show and began posting pictures together on social media, much to fans’ surprise. At the end of the year, they announced via social media that they had gotten engaged. Despite Trisha’s feud with H3H3 following the end of the Frenemies podcast which Trisha co-hosted, the couple have remained together throughout. On September 2, a Twitter user contacted Moses about a picture of him and another woman that had resurfaced on the H3H3 subreddit. Read More: Is Tana Mongeau boxing soon? – “Just as a heads up, they are now spreading rumors that you are cheating on Trish based on an old photo of you at Venice Beach with another woman + that you may have been at rodeo with her recently,” they wrote. Moses replied to the claims shortly after. “This is one of my best friends that is invited to my wedding. At this point, they are just making up lies in attempt to upset us. But they are just losing credibility every day,” he wrote. This is one of my best friends that is invited to my wedding. At this point they are just making up lies in attempt to upset us. But they are just losing credibility everyday. — Channel Water (@Moses_Hacmon) September 2, 2021 This comes after an Instagram user claiming to be Moses’ ex ‘exposed’ him in a series of posts, where she agreed with suggestions that he’s a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” As rumors continue to emerge online about both Trisha and Moses, many fans wonder whether the pair will at some point address the various claims in detail.

  • Trisha Paytas explains why she “can’t let up” on David Dobrik following controversy – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas explains why she “can’t let up” on David Dobrik following controversy YouTube: blndsundoll4mj / Instagram: daviddobrikFive months on from David Dobrik’s huge controversy alongside the Vlog Squad, Trisha Paytas has explained why she “can’t let up” on the popular vlogger. Back in March, David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad were embroiled in controversy after ex-members came out to speak about the effect filming videos with the team had on them, calling out the conduct of those involved. Business Insider also released an article titled “A woman featured on YouTube star David Dobrik’s channel says she was raped by a Vlog Squad member in 2018 the night they filmed a video about group sex,” with the woman in question claiming she was sexually assaulted by Dom Zeglaitis. This led to David losing subscribers and sponsors at a rapid rate, and he ended up taking a three-month break from the internet, returning to posting again in June. Trisha Paytas, who used to film content with the Vlog Squad, was vocal in her criticism toward David and the other group members at the time, but five months later the YouTuber has revealed why she still “can’t let up” on him. “Even me just having been there before a really traumatic crime took place, it still makes me physically sick to this day,” she said. “And it’s why I can’t let up on David or the Vlog Squad because nothing has changed and no one has grown. No one has taken responsibility or accountability.” Topic starts at 18:05 Paytas continued: “It’s so gross to me that they don’t realize the severity and how lucky they got off on every single situation.” She also went on to call them out for “trying to shift blame on a friend that’s no longer in the group.” While David has returned to regular posting on social media, he’s been met with a decidedly mixed reaction, with some glad he’s back to vlogging again, and some saying he shouldn’t have returned to social media at all.

  • Trisha Paytas explains her “falling out” with ASMR YouTuber Zach Choi – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas explains her “falling out” with ASMR YouTuber Zach Choi Zach Choi, YouTubeYouTuber Trisha Paytas has tried her hand at a variety of different content, from making music to mukbang videos and even ASMR — but she had a self-described “falling out” with another huge name in the audiophile scene. Zach Choi is another huge name in the YouTube world, boasting over seven million subscribers due to his massively popular combination of mukbang and ASMR videos. For those not in the loop, a “mukbang” is an online broadcast that often features a creator eating large amounts of food for their audience, while ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) content strives to give viewers that tingly-scalp feeling by producing certain sounds over a highly sensitive microphone. Choi has found the best of both worlds by combining these two viral topics, and even collaborated with Paytas on a number of such videos — but the two no longer create content together, as she revealed during an episode of the H3 Podcast in mid-March. The YouTube star admitted that she and Choi had a “falling out” with each other thanks to previous drama with another mukbang YouTuber, Nikocado Avocado, who claimed that Paytas had ghosted him after convincing him to travel to the United States for a collaborative video. “How did you guys fall out?” Podcast host Ethan Klein asked. “The Nikocado thing,” Paytas answered. “Nikocado threw me under the bus, and then I was on drugs… everyone was throwing each other under the bus.” She went on to clarify that the incident took place in December, which she described as her “last little drug binge” before going sober. (Topic begins at 28:17 for mobile readers) While her drama with Nikocado spurred a slew of backlash online, the two have since made up by finally collaborating on their previously planned mukbang video in August 2019 — but the issues don’t end there, with Nikocado also allegedly having legal troubles with Choi, himself, claiming that his fellow ASMRtist was trying to sue him in January. Contrary to its relatively relaxing content, it seems that much drama is afoot in the ASMR/Mukbang community — leading to a falling out between two of its biggest content creators.

  • Trisha Paytas credits TikTok for helping them come out as nonbinary – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas credits TikTok for helping them come out as nonbinary YouTube: Trisha PaytasYouTube star and “Frenemies” co-host Trisha Paytas has recently come out as nonbinary, giving credit to TikTok and Gen-Z for helping them to understand their gender. Trisha Paytas is a widely popular presence in the social media sphere. Best known for their iconic videos crying on their kitchen floor and, more recently, as a co-host on Ethan Klein’s “Frenemies” podcast, Paytas has witnessed quite the transformation throughout their career as a YouTuber. However, Paytas has most recently made headlines for a video uploaded on April 9, where they revealed that they’re nonbinary and genderfluid. In the video, Paytas reflects on friend and fellow influencer Gigi Gorgeous’ own “coming out” journey, which — alongside Generation Z and TikTok — helped them to better understand their own gender and gain the courage to come out. View this post on Instagram “With ‘nonbinary’ — and I have to give credit to TikTok and Gen Zers — I finally… that feels like the perfect label for me, right?” they said. Paytas also expressed immense gratitude and admiration for their fiancée, Moses Hacmon, for accepting their gender and referring to them as their preferred pronouns “based on what I was feeling that day, that week, that hour.” “This is what I’ve been struggling with for so long, is for people to just accept that I’m all genders and no genders at once. The more I was researching nonbinary, I was like, ‘This is the label. This is who I am.’” Thus far, Paytas has been met with an overwhelming amount of support from their fans — but their current spat with fellow influencer Nikita Dragun has brought up accusations of transphobia against them, due to a previous video they uploaded in 2019 where they came out as a trans man. “That video was never meant to be offensive or a troll,” Paytas said of the video. “It came across as bad and wrong, and I didn’t know ‘non-binary’ back then. I really just thought, ‘I’m really a male.’” 🥺🥺 this is so sweet. They/ them is my preferred at the moment. I really adore u. Thank u for this — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) April 10, 2021 As for what pronouns Paytas prefers, they revealed that for now, they prefer to go by “they/them.” “A lot of the time, I’m a ‘they,’ in the sense that I don’t know… but I am a person, and it’s okay if I’m just a person. If I’m just a person that day. I don’t wanna be called ‘her,’ I don’t wanna be called ‘him’ on certain days.”

  • Trisha Paytas confuses everyone with bizarre TikTok video series – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas confuses everyone with bizarre TikTok video series TikTok: Trisha PaytasVlogger and influencer Trisha Paytas has posted a series of strange videos on their TikTok account, featuring Paytas and her fiance Moses Hacmon – leaving fans utterly bewildered. In the series, Hacmon plays an immigrant who sells popcorn at the theatre, stars in the movie Paytas is watching and turns out (SPOILER) in the final episode to be the son of someone who owns a flying car company. Paytas on the other hand plays a deliberately obnoxious American girl named Elena, who is routinely rude to Moses’ character and expresses a number of negative opinions about immigrants. The videos are titled “Immigrant Shamed for English,” coming in four parts with over a million views between them. They appear to have been filmed in Paytas and Hacmon’s mansion. The videos feature some interesting editing from a close-up of popcorn overflowing to Paytas’ voice imitating the sound of a phone notification going off. Click here if the video does not load However, it seems that the videos are a parody of a YouTube account run by Dhar Mann who posts videos of motivational videos that are supposed to teach life lessons. Mann’s slogan is “we’re not just telling stories. We’re changing lives” and his videos often feature people being judgemental or lying until there is a twist that proves the person wrong. The video series ends with Paytas’ character realizing that Hacmon is rich, has a nice car, and has a government-approved plastic tray that will pretend you from getting cheese on your jeans. We do not know at this point whether we will be getting a sequel or that this style of video will become a new venture. Many fans in the comments thought the videos were equally odd and hilarious. One viewer poked fun at how the content was similar to what typically goes viral on Facebook. Why is Trisha doing 2014-style Facebook content 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/RJOa8DEj9p — Kalhan (@KalhanR) August 31, 2021 Another said it was “still better acting than Addison Rae,” while one fan suggested acting is not Trisha’s strong point. Others thought it was sweet that Moses went along with Trisha’s ideas and they love the idea of “a government-approved cheese container.”

  • Trisha Paytas confuses fans with seemingly fake wedding video – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas confuses fans with seemingly fake wedding video YouTube star Trisha Paytas stirred backlash across the net after coming out as a transgender man in early October. Now, she’s switching gears with a surprising new move that has fans scratching their heads. Paytas uploaded a video on October 25 that turned her transgender scandal on its head, announcing that she was engaged to be married in just a week’s time. That day has since come and gone, with the YouTuber refusing to let slip any details about the identity of her husband, until now. Paytas uploaded another video on November 5 titled, “OFFICIAL WEDDING VIDEO,” causing fans and critics alike to scramble to her channel in hopes of a reveal for the mystery groom. Unfortunately, they were met with an even more confusing matter: rather than featuring an actual human being, Paytas’ long-await wedding video saw her get married to a life-sized cardboard cutout of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt. Whether or not this is a mere stunt for views remains to be seen, but fans are divided as to Paytas’ intentions with the video, with some claiming that she’s using her “wedding” as a means to distract from the fallout of her transgender announcement. “It’s obvious she did all of this to distract everyone from the transgender scandal,” one viewer wrote. Trisha paytas just had a full blown wedding with a cardboard cutout of Brad Pitt a week after coming out as trans but not trans can someone PLEASE help her. — Ramona Flowers (@poulet_belle) November 5, 2019 That’s not all: some fans speculate that Paytas actually bought the ring herself from an Etsy store, while others claim that there is no marriage certificate on file for the star from Nevada.

Trisha Paytas claims she got married in Nevada where weddings are public record but looking it up there is no record of it taking place. Also, she bought her own ring off of Etsy?

  • Trisha Paytas claims Jeff Wittek “threatened” them in exposed text messages – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas claims Jeff Wittek “threatened” them in exposed text messages YouTube: blndsundoll4mj, Jeff WittekYouTube star Trisha Paytas shared text messages from influencer Jeff Wittek, claiming they felt “threatened” by his words after discussing his eye injury on their new podcast. In mid-April, Jeff Wittek dropped a proverbial bombshell on the YouTube community by revealing a serious eye injury he’d sustained as a result of vlogger David Dobrik’s pranks. Wittek shared shocking footage of himself swinging wildly from an excavator that Dobrik was driving. Wittek hit the side of the vehicle and simultaneously damaged his eye — a wound that would have resulted in his death if it was a few inches higher, according to a doctor. Trisha Paytas, fresh off the ‘Frenemies’ podcast with H3H3’s Ethan Klein after their infamous fallout a few weeks prior, discussed Wittek’s eye injury during the first episode of their new YouTube series on June 29… and they wasn’t exactly sympathetic. (Topic begins at 6:00) “You were dumb,” Paytas said bluntly, addressing Wittek. “This was something unsupervised. You had no professionals, no medical people on site. You’re just dumb. …just say that. This was really stupid.” It doesn’t look like Wittek took Paytas’ opinion very well, as the former Frenemies host shared text messages they’d received from him a few hours later — messages they felt were “threatening.” The messages show a few disgruntled texts from Wittek, which read: “Poke away at my injury and it’s gonna end really bad for everyone,” and “You’re crossing the line.” Meanwhile, Paytas argued that they were allowed to comment on what they like and that Wittek “can’t dictate who comments on your content.” Wittek responded to Paytas’ Tweet sharing the messages with an eyebrow-raising comment: “Nobody cares, you little rat. Go to the police, maybe they’ll sit through your 10 hours of videos.” Nobody cares you little rat. Go to the police maybe they’ll sit through your 10 hours of videos. — Jeff Wittek (@jeffwittek) June 29, 2021 Paytas shot back by claiming they “hope David is paying for some therapy for you, too.” This unexpected beef has taken the internet by storm, with many fans confused by Wittek’s sudden show of hostility after seeming to get along with Paytas — but maybe he’s just really in the spirit of gearing up for his boxing match against David Dobrik.

  • Trisha Paytas claps back at “delusional” Gabbie Hanna as feud continues – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas claps back at “delusional” Gabbie Hanna as feud continues Instagram: Gabbie Hanna / Trisha PaytasTrisha Paytas clapped back at Gabbie Hanna for releasing a 47-minute YouTube video about them, claiming that she’s “delusional, repulsive, and scary,” and the things she says about them are not grounded in “reality.” Gabbie Hanna has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. YouTuber Jessi Smiles shared a phone call that confirmed Gabbie’s involvement with her abusive ex-boyfriend, which led to widespread backlash. Then, she came under fire for two separate occasions, including one where she allegedly stalked Bo Burnham and another where she was accused of bullying Daniel Preda and Joey Graceffa. Now, she’s re-ignited an old feud with Trisha Paytas by releasing a 47-minute YouTube video titled, ‘TRISHA PAYTAS CAN’T STOP LYING,’ in which she accuses them of “lying” and “gaslighting.” It wasn’t long before Trisha clapped back in a video of their own. “Everything about [Gabbie] is repulsive,” she said. In their view, Gabbie’s ‘obsession’ compels her to “remember everything” about them, which is “scary.” “I wish her well. I do wish everybody well, including her,” she added. “The only way that she’ll understand [that she’s delusional] is if people keep telling her the same thing – that she has delusions. It’s not reality in her head.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1409649696075751428?s=20 Fans admitted it was “hard to keep up” with all the drama between them and think its best for both of them to stop. “This is truly the YouTube drama that is never going to end,” wrote one fan. “They’re the same exact person screaming at each other over the same points repeatedly. It’s a dual-sided obsession.” The sentiment was shared by many others who agreed that they either need to bury the hatchet and make amends or forget about it move on. But it begs the question, who will the first to extend an olive branch?

  • Trisha Paytas calls Gabbie Hanna “vile and disgusting” on Tana Mongeau podcast – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas calls Gabbie Hanna “vile and disgusting” on Tana Mongeau podcast Instagram: Tana Mongeau, Gabbie HannaTrisha Paytas called Gabbie Hanna “vile and disgusting” during a debut appearance on Tana Mongeau’s Cancelled podcast. Paytas went on to say that they would rather “lick David Dobrik’s nuts than ever see that girl again.” The second episode of Mongeau’s podcast debuted on August 3 and featured Paytas, Mongeau, and Hunter Moreno. The topic of Hanna came up when Mongeau discussed a call she received from the press with Paytas later making the remarks about Hanna. Mongeau was talking about an experience she had when she was younger, potentially underage, and alleged a much older YouTuber attempted to hit on her. Mongeau explained that she doesn’t know if “I was 17 or 18” and went on to say “I don’t know if anything so bad ever happened to where it’s condemning them.” She described the interaction as just “a flirty word encounter.” Read more: Jake Paul exposes his past as a bully – Initially hesitant to name Hanna in the podcast, Mongeau said that she “got a call that Gabbie Hanna was trying to sell to them that this YouTuber hooked up with me when I was underage.” Paytas then reacted to Mongeau’s allegations saying it was “gross.” They went onto say “you cannot bring someone else’s trauma public if you’ve never talked about it and you’re not friends with this person.” The YouTuber also said that Hanna was the one person she’d describe as “vile” and that the series the YouTuber posted about Paytas “just makes me so upset.” Paytas also referred back to her allegation Hanna had told Paytas’ boyfriend in November 2019 that she had herpes. The feud between Hanna and Paytas has been long-running with both YouTube stars posting multiple videos about each other. One fan in June 2021 said, “this is truly the YouTube drama that is never going to end.” Perhaps they were right. Nevertheless, Paytas has been busy in recent weeks filming a new music video titled “Van Gogh” set during World War 2. The video debuted on August 4.

    Trisha Paytas calls H3H3 a “disgusting piece of shit” because of video ‘exposing’ her photoshop Trisha Paytas – YouTube / H3H3 – YouTubeProminent media personality Trisha Paytas took some major shots at fellow YouTuber Ethan ‘H3H3‘ Klein after he published a video essentially exposing her for editing her selfies. It is no major secret that a lot of people who have large followings on social media will touch up the photographs of themselves to make them look as good as possible. This, however, is not something that Klein is willing to let fly under the radar, as evidenced by a video he put out on May 8 titled ‘Instagram vs Reality,’ to show how far some go to make their photos look top notch for social media. At several point in the video, he presented Instagram pictures of Trisha Paytas side-by-side with much more candid photos of her, all while making some harsh comments about them in his commentary. “Will people even recognize her if they saw her on the street?” he said.”I mean, she is unrecognizable. This is Coachella versus throwing down in the McDonald’s parking lot at 3 AM. This is Coachella versus World Star Hip Hop.” (For mobile users: Trisha Paytas segment starts at 3:30 mark) Trisha Paytas bashes H3H3 on Twitter Shortly following Klein’s video going up, Paytas had a very aggressive reaction on Twitter, bashing the YouTuber via a long string of vicious tweets. “Hey H3H3, you are a disgusting piece of shit,” she tweeted. “Your recent video is not only predatory, it’s also harmful to young girls.” hey @h3h3productions – you are a disgusting piece of shit. your recent video is not only predatory – its also HARMFUL to young girls — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) May 9, 2019 In her 10+ tweets directed at Klein, she made it clear that she wanted the video to be taken down not because she was embarrassed by the candid pictures of her, but rather because of the heavily negative impact it may have on other females, bringing up her own experiences with suicidal thoughts in the past. “Hey H3H3, I was suicidal at age 13, 15, 19, 22, and 25 over comments like yours,” she tweeted. “You went beyond opinions, you are going for extreme bullying that could lead to many girls wanting to take their lives like I did for so many years.” hey @h3h3productions – I was suicidal at age 13, 15, 19, 22, and 25 over comments like yours. you went beyond opinions, you are going for extreme bullying that could lead to many girls wanting to take their lives like I did for so many years — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) May 9, 2019 She also posted her own video in response to Klein’s, in which she appeared without any makeup or filters on and made her case for why the video should be disabled. H3H3 strikes back In the face of Paytas’ very vehement reaction to his video, H3H3 hit back with something of his own on Twitter, sarcastically calling her a “rude person” that he didn’t recognize. Who is this rude person? I don’t recognize her from her profile picture. Anyone know? https://t.co/tI06H4qzMC — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) May 9, 2019 He also went on to post a picture that included two photographs of himself – one without any editing and one that made him look a lot younger and skinnier, captioning it “Reality vs Instagram.” With this suddenly explosive drama between Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein unlikely to subside any time soon, it’s worth keeping an eye to see what kind of blow each side will deal next. We will continue updating this story with more information as it becomes available.

  • Trisha Paytas apologizes to TikToker Loren Gray after saying ‘no one knows her’ – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas apologizes to TikToker Loren Gray after saying ‘no one knows her’ YouTube: Trisha Paytas / Instagram: lorenTrisha Paytas has apologized to TikToker Loren Gray after claiming that no one knows who she is, saying she actually did know who she was at the time. Although Trisha’s wildly popular podcast ‘Frenemies’ with H3H3’s Ethan Klein came to a dramatic end in June due to her comments regarding staff and pay, it seems as though she still has plenty more comments from the show that she wants to address. The program often revolved around the hosts discussing topical stories on social media, and giving their opinion on various influencers. Trisha even previously apologized to TikTok star Dixie D’Amelio in one episode after speaking negatively about her online. The next star to receive an apology from Trisha is Loren Gray, who has over 50 million followers on TikTok, and was once the platforms’ most-followed content creator before the rise of Charli D’Amelio. In a new video uploaded to TikTok, Trisha addressed some of the comments she made about Loren, after the influencer said Trisha referred to her as “the girl that no one knows.” “Okay, apology of the day goes to Loren Gray,” she said, before playing the clip of Loren talking about Trisha’s comments. “I am just an a-hole sometimes, I say stuff to be funny, or edgy. I knew Loren, I know Loren.” “I obviously knew who she was, I’ve followed her on TikTok forever, she actually went to the same trainer as I did for a minute,” she continued. Trisha also reported that Loren said she knew about the YouTuber’s upcoming wedding, and was excited about the theme, so she even extended an invite. She went onto explain that Loren was really “sweet and classy” about the situation, and said that her comments weren’t “personal.” It appears that Loren has yet to respond publicly, but Trisha indicated that she planned to reach out to the TikToker privately, too.

  • Trisha Paytas apologizes for Frenemies drama with Ethan Klein: “I’m embarrassed” – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas apologizes for Frenemies drama with Ethan Klein: “I’m embarrassed” YouTube: blndsundoll4mjYouTube star Trisha Paytas suddenly quit their stint on the popular ‘Frenemies’ podcast with H3H3’s Ethan Klein on June 8 — and the fallout around their exit has been nothing short of astronomical. YouTubers Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein turned a heated feud about body-shaming into one of the internet’s most popular podcasts. Appropriately dubbed ‘Frenemies,’ the show came about after Ethan invited Trisha onto the H3 Podcast to hash out their differences, resulting in an unexpected — but certainly not unwelcome — entertainment duo. However, after 39 episodes discussing the latest internet drama, current events and their own life stories, Paytas asked the crew to cut short a video that went live on June 8 after getting into an argument with Klein about money and business management. Paytas felt they were being left out of important business decisions and weren’t getting a big enough cut of the profits, while Klein claimed that Paytas was receiving a “generous” amount of income from the show. (Topic begins at 1:30:00) Paytas later uploaded a video explaining their side of the story and why they’d decided to leave — leaving Klein feeling “gutted” about the situation. Klein later claimed that his production crew was receiving threats to their personal social media accounts over the debacle. On June 9 — a day after the drama went down — Paytas uploaded yet another video and a series of Tweets apologizing for the fallout of their sudden exit from ‘Frenemies.’ In her posts, Paytas apologized for showing “private conversations” from now-deleted tweets and claimed that the issue “got blown out of proportion.” “I’m so sorry it’s ending this way,” they wrote. “I feel horrible. This is the worst feeling to see people think I’m this heartless monster who doesn’t do anything wrong. I have been in the wrong so many times on Frenemies, they’ve been really wonderful to me.” I apologize to Ethan, Dan , Ian and Sam – like I really do. It’s embarrassing and I’m embarrassed. And most of all you guys – like it was cool af to be back in a popular group for just being me. Like love and positivity always feels good. And this right now , does not. I’m sorry — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) June 9, 2021 Paytas’ teary video about the scandal shared similar sentiments, stating that the issue was a “misunderstanding that got blown out of proportion” and that they “don’t want people to think of me as a rude person.” The response to Trisha’s latest posts and video by commenters has been decidedly mixed, but with Klein choosing to “take a step back” from the situation on social media, his reaction to her new statements may still be in the wings.

  • Trisha Paytas apologizes to Dixie D’Amelio for criticizing her over snail drama – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas apologizes to Dixie D’Amelio for criticizing her over snail drama YouTube: H3 Podcast / Dixie D’AmelioYouTuber Trisha Paytas has apologized to Dixie D’Amelio via the Frenemies podcast, saying she’s sorry for the way she treated her during the snail drama from 2020. An episode of ‘Dinner with the D’Amelios’ was flooded with outraged comments in November 2020, after Dixie expressed her disgust over eating a snail prepared by her family’s personal chef. Many viewers called the star “childish,” but Chef Aaron May, who served the dish to the family, said: “I love Dixie and Charli. I’ve worked with them before, I’m gonna work with them again. I think it’s a little blown out of proportion.” Trisha Paytas was particularly vocal about calling out Dixie and her sister Charli over the incident, but she received backlash herself for publicly hating on the teen stars. However, it now appears that Trisha wants to lay the feud to rest, and apologized to the TikToker on an episode of Frenemies with co-host Ethan Klein. “Can I also just apologize to Dixie D’Amelio? I’m really sorry,” she said, adding, “I shouldn’t have made fun of her for the snail thing.” She continued to explain that “I saw everyone doing it and I was like okay whatever, and your music’s good, you’re like 19, you’re killing it. I know she doesn’t care because she’s killing it, but you’re killing it.” Topic starts at 56:53 Trisha was also very complimentary towards Dixie’s YouTube show ‘The Early Late Night show,’ saying “I love your show. I’d love to be on Dixie’s Early Late Show, I love that show.” She gave Dixie’s huge set high praise, and added, “Yeah, I apologize. I really do like her show.” Ethan also added that the D’Amelio sisters are “not really problematic,” and that “as far as people on the internet go, they’re nice people.” Dixie has yet to respond to the apology, but there seem to be some fans who would like to see the pair collab in some capacity now that Trisha has apologized.

Ethan and Trisha’s unlikely partnership made the Frenemies podcast a wild success, uploading 39 episodes that featured the pair discussing the week’s biggest drama, playing games, and more. But the show came to an abrupt end on June 8 as a result of episode 39, when Trisha and Ethan got into a tense conversation about production costs, along with Trisha claiming they “didn’t get input” on who the team hires. Trisha subsequently announced via a YouTube video that they would be leaving the show, with Ethan saying he’s “gutted” over the whole situation. Trisha went onto apologize to the team, claiming they felt “embarrassed.” I apologize to Ethan, Dan , Ian and Sam – like I really do. It’s embarrassing and I’m embarrassed. And most of all you guys – like it was cool af to be back in a popular group for just being me. Like love and positivity always feels good. And this right now , does not. I’m sorry — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) June 9, 2021 However, Trisha has now uploaded a series of videos titled ‘Ethan’s Lies’ in which they reacted to the H3H3 star’s own video addressing the situation. “I can only share the truth, I can only speak my truth. I’m embarrassed, I’m upset, I regret a lot of the past 48 hours, but if there’s just blatant lies, I have to just go through it,” they said. At one point in Ethan’s video, he claimed that Trisha “wanted to fire everybody, and get new staff,” which Trisha immediately denied. “Ethan is a piece of sh*t, a piece of garbage that I swear on my life like before this started I was like, ‘damn, I lost a really good friend,’ but you are such a liar,” they responded. Topic starts at 34:05 The YouTuber went on to say: “It’s so f**ked up to lie on that. Show me, show me a text where I’m like ‘fire the crew,’ a conversation, like that’s so f**ked and twisted. Just because I’ve had issues with them, just because I’ve said I don’t vibe with them, I don’t like their sense of humor, I’ve never said fire people, are you f**king kidding me right now?” Their three response videos have been paired with a series of tweets claiming that Ethan is “manipulating” the situation. https://twitter.com/trishapaytas/status/1402879093897515010 I assure u he does not. He listed the initial set costs and new. cameras.and his employees were on salary long before frenemies. I wish we put some of the 100% of highlights he keeps (which he never even mentioned) towards productions costs. That would be dope. https://t.co/jjQ9c3HKIs — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) June 10, 2021 It’s not clear what the future holds for the Frenemies podcast, and while some fans hope there may be a reconciliation, many think that this could be the end of the popular show.

  • Trisha Paytas and Jaclyn Hill repair friendship after 2020 public spat – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas and Jaclyn Hill repair friendship after 2020 public spat Instagram: Trisha Paytas / Jaclyn HillTrisha Paytas and Jaclyn Hill have seemingly repaired their friendship after a positive exchange on social media, which included an apology, and revealed they’re on good terms once again. Trisha and Jaclyn started feuding back in 2020 when Trisha posted a photo of her hugging Jaclyn’s ex-husband, Jon Hill. Eventually, she opened up about her relationship with him and claimed Jaclyn “had been a b*tch” to him in the past. Then it all snowballed out of control. Trisha took a swipe at Jaclyn’s new boyfriend, Jordan Farnum, out of the blue. They said he was “embarrassing” and claimed they “hated” watching his YouTube channel. However, it seems like the two of them have finally made peace. Jaclyn shared a video of Trisha cooking Chicken Lo Mien based on a recipe they got from Jordan’s YouTube channel, and people were stunned. “This is too cute!” she said. “Trisha Paytas made Jordan’s Chicken Lo Mien! I think they need to do a collab.” Trisha responded enthusiastically, saying, “His channel is the reason I’m trying to cook. I’d love to enter my grilled cheese in the next competition with [you] guys.” It’s a stark contrast to what they’ve said in the past. 🥺🥺🥺 his channel is the reason I’m trying to cook ….I’d love to enter my grilled cheese in the next competition with u guys 😭😭😭😭 https://t.co/9uoP6CSxKz — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) April 16, 2021 The situation prompted a confused fan to ask whether the two of them like each other now. Jaclyn responded, saying, “I have never had a problem with Trisha. And [they] apologized in her intro for anything bad [they’ve] ever said about me, so moving on.” Trisha echoed the sentiment. “Honestly, me being nasty towards [you] is the most embarrassing thing ever,” they said. It turns out they were in a “bad place” at the time and lashed out on Jaclyn for no reason at all. “You’ve always been sweet to me before and literally did nothing. I really am sorry [as f**k]. And I just always wanted to be [your] friend.” Honestly me being nasty towards u is the most embarrassing thing ever. I cringe. I’m sorry. Like I really was in a bad (high af) place – you’ve always been sweet to me before and literally did nothing ….like I really am sorry af. And I just always wanted to be ur friend 🥺 https://t.co/vbswxgJRF4 — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) April 16, 2021 Fortunately, it seems like they’ve buried the hatchet once and for all, and a potential friendship is blooming. Fans are thrilled at the prospect of seeing them tee up some content together, and it sounds like it could happen sooner than expected.

  • Tripwire Interactive CEO steps down after backlash over controversial tweet – Dexerto

    Tripwire Interactive CEO steps down after backlash over controversial tweet Tripwire InteractiveTripwire Interactive CEO John Gibson has stepped down from the company following backlash over a controversial tweet he sent in support of new abortion laws in Texas. A boycott against Tripwire Interactive led by Twitch streamer Ben ‘CohhCarnage’ Cassell after their CEO, John Gibson, tweeted in support of the controversial new abortion laws in Texas seems to have paid off. The company released an official statement and announced that Gibson has “stepped down” from the company effective immediately, and the current vice president, Alan Wilson, will take his place. They also apologized for his actions and assured fans that his views are his own and do not reflect the company’s views. “The comments given by John Gibson are of his own opinion and do not reflect those of Tripwire Interactive as a company,” said a representative. “His comments disregarded the values of our whole team, our partners, and much of our broader community.” “Our leadership team at Tripwire are deeply sorry and are unified in our commitment to take swift action and to foster a more positive environment. Effectively immediate, John Gibson has stepped down as CEO.” A statement regarding recent events.

The extent of his connection with the company remains unknown. However, it’s reasonable to assume they’ll keep him out of the public eye for quite some time.

  • Trisha Paytas accused of exploiting transgender community for views – Dexerto

    Trisha Paytas accused of exploiting transgender community for views Trisha Paytas slammed after posting transgender announcement videoPopular YouTuber Trisha Paytas has been forced to defend herself against a tirade of criticism after posting a video where she claimed to identify more as a gay man, rather than her natural-born gender. Many viewers have accused the internet personality of exploiting the LGBTQ+ community in an effort to get more eyes on her content, with a controversial video – titled “I AM TRANSGENDER” – being uploaded to her channel on October 7 and already amassing 650,000 views. During the course of the video, Paytas opens up about her feelings towards her natural gender and how it felt growing up as a young girl, claiming that she was targeted by other children after growing facial hair and eventually given a “man” nickname. However, it was her comments about identifying as a gay man that has caught the attention of some viewers, with Paytas being accused of sensationalizing a marginalized community. “Here’s the thing. I identify with men better. People always think there’s something wrong with me because I don’t have that many girl friends,” she said during the upload. “I do love girls and I love their sensitivity and stuff like that, but that’s why I identify more as a gay man – because I like guys, but also identify as a guy.” Drag queen persona Vicky Vox was one of the many critics who spoke out against Paytas’ video on Twitter. The actor, real name Lance Hara, called for the tweet to be reported by as many people as possible, arguing that the YouTuber was trying to ‘bait’ clicks, instead of sharing a genuine story. “Report this tweet. Using gender identity as click bait is a privileged act of violence. I’m not gonna stand for it,” Vox tweeted. “The headline and photo used cannot be serious. Trans people are murdered for quietly trying to live their life.” Report this tweet. Using gender identity as click bait is a privileged act of violence. I’m not gonna stand for it. I don’t care what it’s actually about. The headline and photo used cannot be serious. Trans people are murdered for quietly trying to live their life. Big NOPE:rage: https://t.co/b7PB99vc5H — VICKY VOX (@TheVickyVox) October 7, 2019 You don’t know me, my journey , my struggle, my transition. I’ve been with a gender identity therapy specialist for the past 6 months cause I hated who I was since I was 3. Think before you tweet , THIS is more harmful than me sharing my story. — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) October 7, 2019 Trisha followed up on the remarks, stating that she has been meeting regularly with a gender identity therapy specialist for around six months before making details of her journey public. Another user, TATIANNA, stated: “You are a fucking clown. Learn from this and go away for like a long ass time. F***ing messy and attention addicted.” You are a fucking clown :clown_face::clown_face::clown_face: learn from this and go away for like a long ass time. Fuckin messy and attention addicted. pic.twitter.com/ZttnGqueSm — TATIANNA (@TATIANNANOW) October 8, 2019 Paytas also claimed in the video that she would consider being an advocate for the transgender community in the future and, despite trolling fans in the past with videos very similar, she maintains that this isn’t the same. “I know I’ve trolled and stuff in the past, so I don’t want people thinking this is a trolling video. I know I’ve come out as gay before, I’ve come out as bisexual before,” she added, before stating that she takes issue with labels such as male, female, straight, gay, and others.
