TikToker quits McDonald’s job mid-shift after being asked to wash dishes TIKTOK: fionnmccallum470A TikToker went viral after quitting his McDonald’s job on the spot, because he didn’t want to clean dirty dishes. Recently, TikToker Fionn McCallum posted a video of an incident in which he filmed a bunch of dirty cooking equipment, before shouting: “Hell nah, I’m not cleaning that. I ain’t cleaning that.” The young worker walked over to his manager – off camera – shouting, “Ashley, I quit. I quit. I quit.” “No! Get back here!” his angry manager was heard screaming in response, while a colleague added, “Oh, f**k that!” The fed up McDonald’s worker stood his ground, and walked out. “I quit, I’m leaving Maccas. See you on the flip side b*tch!” Fionn said as he left the restaurant. “They really thought I was going to clean that,” he captioned the video, which amassed a whopping 9.4 million views. Tiktok users react to Tiktoker quitting While it’s unclear whether the video is real or staged, TikTok users were divided over Fionn’s disdain for the dirty dishes, with some criticizing him. “How can anyone be surprised? It’s what we expect from kids today,” one wrote. “Well I can easily tell this kid is not going to be a hard worker in his lifetime,” another added. “Not even that bad it’s like 20 mins of work,” a third wrote. Many, however, sympathized with the TikToker. “‘I work at McDonald’s, I feel you,” one shared. “Na no way the manager was being serious,” another wrote. “Bruh nah I wash up at where I work which is tolerable but if I were to see that I’d probably quit too,” a third commented. Others said they’d have happily completed the job without complaints. This is the latest viral video of someone quitting their job mid-shift, after a Burger King worker divided viewers when she quit on the spot.

TikToker quits Domino’s job using post-it notes after being forced to work weekends TIKTOK: idonotknowwhatiamhereforA TikToker went viral for using post-it notes to quit her Domino’s job, after being forced to work weekends alone. Domino’s worker Bella shared a video of herself leaving post-it notes up for management asking them not to schedule her alone on the weekends. In one note, she explained that if she is scheduled to work weekends alone again, she will quit. The viral video with over 3.2 million views, also showed another note from Bella that said if she’s scheduled to work weekends alone again, then they should consider her two weeks’ notice. Her employer, however, allegedly scheduled her to work weekends alone again “for the 5th time in a row.” In a final post-it message, Bella wrote, “I’m a woman of my word,” and gave official notice of her leaving the job, because they wouldn’t honor her request.

TikTok has become a popular video app for trending dances, comedy sketches, and so much more. Another genre of videos that has picked up in popularity is fast food employees bashing their companies for negative workplace practices. Now, a new video in this genre has gone massively viral, this time a McDonald’s employee sounding off on her bosses and coworkers. McDonald’s employee goes viral for allegedly being spied on Tizzie Mia is a TikToker and McDonald’s employee whose video recounting a traumatic event at work went viral withing over 5 million views to date. She claims at her McDonald’s that her coworkers refuse to take customers’ orders, leaving her the sole employee in charge of taking orders. Despite her request that employees shift their responsibilities throughout the day, her request was denied. One day, she alerted her manager ahead of time that her grandmother was coming to dine in and say hello to Tizzie. Despite her forewarning, when her grandma came into the restaurant, her boss lashed out at her for not taking orders properly and favoring her grandmother. Tizzie said, “There were no orders on the screen. I go and take her order and I treat her like any other customer. You can see that on the security camera. But, before I take her order, an employee walks in and waves at the camera, and she goes, ‘Oh, you know the manager is watching you.’” The TikToker then went into the security room and saw all her McDonald’s workers watching the security camera of her working. “I walk to the security room, and every single employee, besides one and all the managers, are watching me on the security camera. Every single one of them.” She continued, “Imagine that, all your coworkers are just watching you behind your back. I was the one who got told off for not working, and yet they’re all watching me like I’m some kind of reality TV show.” In the comment section of the video an outpouring of support came for Tizzie, who then announced she’d be quitting her job at the fast food chain. She said, “Thank you guys for all the support! I appreciate it so much, I will be handing in my notice as it made me feel so humiliated and embarrassed.”

TikToker privates account due to backlash over long-distance relationship contract – Dexerto
TikToker privates account due to backlash over long-distance relationship contract TikTok: devonrainmotleyA TikToker shared a “long-distance relationship contract” she and her partner signed, sparking backlash that resulted in her privating her account. A study on long-distance relationships found that 40% eventually come to an end. Another survey found that the number one reason these couples go their separate ways is that their relationship isn’t progressing. 71 percent of women and 64 percent of men cited a lack of progress as the reason their long-distance relationship ended. Other reasons included growing apart, a lack of sex, and having an interest in other people. One couple, however, shared on TikTok their plan to avoid running into an eventual break-up. The answer? A contract entitling them to “sue” one another if either party acted outside of it. Big fans of the TV show Suits, Devon Motley and Geren Gathright left the internet divided over the contract, which stated that “Neither party is allowed to end the relationship until 09.01.2024 unless there’s a breach of one of the violations.” Violations included cheating, slander, and emotional or physical neglect. The couple also included a list of requirements that had to be followed, which included: “All issues with the opposite party are REQUIRED to be brought to the attention of the party in question.” – “Arguments must result in a resolution, apology, and closing action of affection (long distance will require a gift of some sort to be ordered to each party’s home).” – “Location must always be turned on.” – “Every call seen must be answered.” – “We must call at least once every day.” – “Keep in continuous contact throughout the day.” – “Always give extra reassurance.” – The internet was left divided over the contract, with one person labeling it as “psychotic behavior,” ultimately resulting in Devon privating her TikTok account entirely. One person commented, “I mean this is so extra to me because if you have a good partner this should not be needed.” However, there were those who considered the idea a stroke of genius, asking Devon to “upload the document” so they could use it.

TikToker QCP reportedly arrested for felony after driving stolen U-Haul around LA UHaul/Instagram/itsqcpTikTok star ‘QCP’ has reportedly been arrested by Los Angeles police after he drove a stolen U-Haul truck around the city. The TikToker, best known for his culinary shorts, was allegedly arrested for felony possession of a stolen vehicle back on September 9 when cops ran the van’s plates. According to TMZ, QCP told police that one of his roommates had lent him the van, but the U-Haul company had actually reported it as stolen after someone rented it and never returned it. News of the arrest lines up with a tweet from Bryce Hall on the same day where the wrote that QCP had been arrested “right before Vegas.” QCP released after felony arrest Luckily for the content creator, after being arrested he was released from custody on $25,000 bail and is confident that the case will be dropped, especially as there are currently no charges against him. The TikToker says that his roommate friend who was responsible for renting the U-Haul to begin with has since paid for the van after they didn’t pay on time. Additionally, QCP has remained adamant that he had no idea the van had been reported stolen and just wanted to help his friend move. Hopefully, the content creator can get the situation under control and can put this drama to rest, but so far, the case remains open.

TikToker pranks parents by covering their kitchen in Nutella – Dexerto
TikToker pranks parents by covering their kitchen in Nutella Tiktok: kaihspeakupTikToker Kaih Anderson pranked his parents by coating their entire kitchen with the famous chocolate and hazelnut spread, Nutella. Kaih Anderson is a TikToker who frequently takes to the platform to share videos of himself both blessing and pranking his family. His movement is to “support the sound of freedom,” and he’s received millions of views for his comical and heartwarming videos. Though he’s gone viral on TikTok before for buying supercars and giving his mom stacks of cash, his recent at-home prank amassed over 60 million views, as his chocolate-coated joke left viewers in disbelief. TikToker wraps every kitchen appliance with plastic wrap before coating it all with Nutella About a week ago, Anderson posted a video to TikTok showing himself covering his parent’s kitchen with Nutella. Though he’s no Picasso, Anderson used a paintbrush to make sure that literally everything that was visible in the kitchen was coated in the sweet treat — which included the oven, microwave, walls, refrigerator, soap bottle near the sink, and even the oil diffuser that his mom so neatly placed on the pristine countertops. However, before coating his parent’s extremely clean kitchen with Nutella, Anderson wrapped everything in plastic wrap, so the cleanup wasn’t as terrible as it may have seemed. In one of the multiple videos he posted of the kitchen looking like a chocolate lover’s dream, he captioned it saying, “I always wanted a Nutella house.” Those who saw Anderson’s now-viral prank have taken to his comments section on TikTok in disbelief of his dedication, saying, “Ain’t no way he did that.” While another joked about his parents being angered by the mess, saying, “Is there part two — to confirm you’re still alive?!” Some viewers, however, found the prank hilarious, saying, “It’s the diffuser for me,” as well as, “The way my jaw dropped.” Though Anderson pulled one over on his parents, he has yet to post a follow-up video of their reactions.

TikToker pretends to be new Subway employee, gets job and quits in an hour – Dexerto
TikToker pretends to be new Subway employee, gets job and quits in an hour comedycupid / Wikimedia CommonsA TikTok user has gone viral after claiming to have faked their way into a job at Subway. In any industry, there’s always been that thing of ‘fake it until you make it’ for some people, often those looking to change from one industry to another. Well, a content creator took that mantra to a whole new level this August after pretending to be a new hire at one of Subway’s locations. Much to their surprise, the joke quickly turned into an actual job – but it didn’t last very long. TikToker goes viral after sneaking into Subway The upload was posted by comedycupid, and has over 660,000 likes on the video sharing platform, with over three million views. “I told these Subway people it was my first day and they just let me work… I’m not even on the schedule. I’m not even an employee. I didn’t even do an interview,” they said. The background revealed they were, in fact, inside the restaurant. “I just came in and told them I was a new hire and didn’t need training and they just left me alone in this restaurant.” A comment in the replies, with over 50,000 likes, said: “lol places are so short staffed they probably didn’t care.” Comedycupid opened up a bit more about the experience, saying they walked out after an hour on the job. They said: “I walked out and they said ‘wait we’ll pay you for the hour you were here’ WITH WHAT PAPERWORK.” In another reply, the OG poster said: “I just rolled up, welcome to Subway…. I was there for not even 15 minutes and the TWO other employees went to go smoke during lunch rush. Thank god they have those little pictures fr bless.” What happened next? Cupid was unemployed at the time and that’s what prompted the visit to Subway. One of the other TikToks posted about the situation included damning allegations in regards to health and safety, too, claiming a manager said bread pans are not cleaned more than once a month. A number of other issues led to her replying in the comments: “Should I call the health department?” In a follow-up TikTok, cupid said they have since been in a call with Subway’s management. While they “don’t want people to lose their jobs,” the user admitted they do want it “to be safer in there.” Whether or not conversations with management will ensure this doesn’t happen again remains to be seen.

TikToker posts “medium rare chicken” from Costco but internet knows better – Dexerto
TikToker posts “medium rare chicken” from Costco but internet knows better TikTok: ala112_Costco’s rotisserie chicken sparked debate after an unhappy customer took to TikTok, claiming she’d been sold “medium rare chicken”. But her viewers were less than convinced. Despite its delicious reputation and nutritious benefits, chicken is a food safety risk. Raw chicken often harbors harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella and Clostridium, that result in food poisoning if consumed. Therefore, it’s no wonder that serving raw or undercooked chicken is a big no-no in the food service industry. One unimpressed shopper, however, thought she’d encountered just that after purchasing a rotisserie chicken from Costco. Sharing the pink-tinged chicken on TikTok, user ‘ala112_’ sarcastically wrote, “Thank you Costco for the medium rare chicken.” But her viewers disagreed. “Uhhh, that’s [actually] very cooked. The pink actually indicates that the chicken was very fresh before cooking,” one person commented. “It’s rotisserie, that’s how it looks [laughing out loud].” Another pointed out, “You can see the striations in the meat. You can’t see the fibers in raw chicken.” And it seems this isn’t an unusual case, with many stating that this was just how Costco’s rotisserie chickens always looked; “It’s literally [worldwide] knowledge that this is what cooked chicken looks like from every Costco.” Nonetheless, ala112_ maintained that the meat was definitely undercooked, defending her stance through various comments; “I promise you it was pink.” However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that pink meat is still safe to eat so long as all parts reach “at least 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer”. According to the USDA, pink meat is often the result of “chemical changes” that occur during cooking. They write, “Often meat of younger birds shows the most pink because their thinner skins permit oven gases to reach the flesh.” If worried about the color of your Costco rotisserie chicken, reheating it to this temperature will ensure safe consumption.

TikToker pops off on Walmart manager after being “wrongfully” fired – Dexerto
TikToker pops off on Walmart manager after being “wrongfully” fired TikTok/DiaryOfAWimpyLaynaA TikToker has gone viral after popping at their former manager for firing her from Walmart, and she’s got a fair bit of support from others in similar situations.

Take a few scrolls through your For You Page and it won’t be long before you stumble upon someone airing their frustrations about something that has happened to them – be it at work, in a game, or at school. In the case of DiaryOfAWimpyLayna, the TikToker has gone viral for taking a few shots at her manager at Walmart who apparently fired her “wrongfully” despite putting in some pretty big work on a display. TikToker goes viral after getting fired from Walmart The TikToker posted the video on October 9, first showing viewers the moment where she was “terminated” from the role. “Y’all f**king ridiculous, hell no,” she told her boss immediately after. From there, the former Walmart employee set about tearing apart a display for jeans that she had apparently spent “over 3 hours” working on. She ultimately exited the store, but not before leaving one last message for her former colleagues. “F*ck you Lisa!” she yelled before walking out. The video has picked up close to 50,000 views, which is quite the number compared to the TikToker’s usual posts. As it’s picked up steam, so too has the support for her in the comments section. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load “This is the third video today that I’ve seen someone fired from Walmart what is going on there omg,” said one viewer. “I was about to say why destroy the store but the reasoning is 100% valid,” added another. “Happens to the best ones, I was one of them too,” commented another. Seeing as the TikToker recorded further conversations about her exit, some viewers are desperate for an extended story. Though, who knows if there will be a follow-up.

TikToker ported in Jamaica was kicked off cruise for carrying medical marijuana – Dexerto
TikToker ported in Jamaica was kicked off cruise for carrying medical marijuana TikTok: infamousxdrewA TikToker was told he had to leave his cruise while ported in Jamaica for carrying medical marijuana with him on the ship. A TikToker by the name of Drew was enjoying a family reunion while on a cruise and unfortunately had to have his time cut short. In a now-viral five-part video compilation, Drew explained his situation while ported in Jamaica. Though he could legally carry marijuana with his medical card back home in the US, Drew was taken off the cruise by security for his possession. TikToker leaves cruise three days early after being caught with medical marijuana onboard The US began legalizing medical marijuana in 1996 when California became the first state to allow its inhabitants to toke legally. Though it would take years for other states like Hawaii, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, and more to legalize medical usage, the initial movement proved to be successful, as 39 states have now legalized medical consumption. Sure, one may be able to get a doctor’s order for legal usage of THC, but just because it says it is legal in the prospective state that person lives in, doesn’t mean that the card or marijuana can be carried or used in another state — let alone a province or country. So when TikToker Drew carried his medical marijuana with him on his Royal Caribbean Cruise, he was slightly shocked to find that he would eventually be kicked off for assuming his medical identity would be viable in another country. Though he was ported in Jamaica with 65 family members, Drew’s time would come to an end on the cruise after four days, just three days short of the trip’s vacation time. In one of his five now-viral TikTok videos, Drew can be heard explaining his situation, saying, “We are currently ported in Jamaica, so we will be flying home from Jamaica and my mom will be coming with me. Unfortunately, they saw my medical marijuana, which we all know that I have, and all the senior security advisors or whatever they’re called have come to the conclusion that I must disembark.” Though Drew was kicked off his Royal Caribbean Cruise, he kept his spirits high while he and his mom packed their belongings and left the ship, leaving all their family members behind. Drew also held himself accountable for the legal situation, captioning one of his TikTok videos, saying, “This was a learning lesson for me and I know what I did wrong. Hope this helps the next person to not make the same mistake.” After watching Drew go through his disembarkment from the cruise ship, one viewer shared a similar experience that they could have run into, saying, “Definitely a learning lesson… I have a cruise in a couple of months and I was thinking how I’d be able to smoke — now I won’t.” Another viewer commented on the potential legal repercussions of the entire cruise ship, relating the situation to BravoTV’s Below Deck, saying, “If it’s anything like what happened on Below Deck, Captain Sandy said the yacht could’ve been seized if something happened. I don’t know how similar.” Though Drew was kicked off his cruise for carrying medical marijuana, he hasn’t been the only US citizen to recently run into legal trouble regarding the possession of THC, as Gigi Hadid was actually arrested in the Cayman Islands earlier this summer for transporting the drug across borders.

TikToker Poloboy shocks fans after revealing he has a baby – Dexerto
TikToker Poloboy shocks fans after revealing he has a baby Instagram: officialpolo.boyTikToker Marco “poloboy” Borghi has confirmed that he has a child in a series of TikTok and comments after his ex-girlfriend posted a video on mother’s day sharing details of her pregnancy. Poloboy is a TikToker well known for his lipsyncs and comedy videos, amassing a huge 439 million likes across his videos and a following of more than 4.6 million. He was formerly a member of the content house The House Nobody Asked For. On Mother’s Day, Marco’s ex-girlfriend Arielle Rodriguez shared a now-deleted video compiling a number of screenshots and images detailing her journey through pregnancy, even including some images of the baby itself. In many of the texts, which don’t show the recipients, she is seen discussing whether to seek an abortion or keep the baby. In a comment on Instagram, his ex also explained that she and Marco had broken up and responded to criticism she’d received, writing: “I shouldn’t be bashed for being the parent who stayed. I’m a single mom, yes, and I’m okay with that. Nowhere did I speak down on him for choosing to leave that’s his choice, as I chose not to have an abortion.” Arielle also denied posting the video for clout, adding that they began dating before he got famous on TikTok in 2017, and broke up in 2020. View this post on Instagram Meanwhile, fans have inundated Marco’s TikToks with comments about his child, some accusing him of being an absent father after the comments from his ex. Marco has since responded with a couple of videos referring to his situation, captioning one TikTok “Ahhh now you know. Please don’t bash her or the baby. I ask for a crumb of privacy please.” He then pleaded his case with fans, adding a comment that read, “You guys are jumping to conclusions so fast. Stop writing the narrative without any knowledge of the situation. I didn’t ask for my most intimate business to be made public. “It’s not that I don’t care. It’s not my place to tell you all what my ex wants, But I’m not out here just ‘not caring.’ I have a heart and I know that, like any child, he needs a father. I’m open to taking care of him and being there for him — but I can’t completely give up my passions at such a young age.” Following the TikToker’s public acknowledgment, Arielle has since published an Instagram story sharing more screenshots from December 2020 in which Marco apologized for his behavior and expressed his desire to be a good father, saying “I want to be a good dad and be on good terms with you so we can raise our child to be the best it can be.” Arielle finalized by saying in her story, “I agree that a person can leave if they’ve voiced that they’re not ready/don’t want children. However, I don’t support creating the impression that you will play an active part only to flake 2 months prior — I view that as immature and cruel.” Marco appears to maintain that he will do the best he can to support the child.

TikToker outs himself for fraud after sharing his secret to endless money TikTok: greenthumbgotbands / Instagram: ryanroughtA TikToker boasting about buying expensive things “without spending a single dollar” has accidentally outed himself for fraud. For most people, finding an easy solution to financial stress sounds too good to be true. However, one TikToker has claimed to have achieved this, posting a video sharing how to buy expensive things without having to pay a “single dollar.” It seems though that the self-described entrepreneur Ryan Rought, who goes by ‘greenthumbgotbands’ on the platform, may have gotten more than he bargained for after he was called out for describing fraud. In the TikTok, Rought advised viewers to open business cards before ultimately claiming bankruptcy. His comment section was full of viewers shocked by the TikToker’s seemingly oblivious confession. “Bro is going to jail”, one commenter posted. Another said, “Bro how do you still have the comments on? This is a confession.” Though not all viewers were convinced the video was legitimate, with one commenter asking, “How did you keep [a] straight face this entire video?” A follow-up video suggests that any doubt may have been correct, with Rought confirming the video was just “trolling”. “There’s no proof of me for anything because it was all complete b*******,” Rought said in the follow-up. He goes on to say, “I was trolling another TikTok video I saw, and ya’ll blew it up.” Rought has since gone on to post another TikTok describing insurance fraud, with new unsuspecting viewers falling for the video.

TikToker outrages the internet after claiming he doesn’t use soap or deodorant – Dexerto
TikToker outrages the internet after claiming he doesn’t use soap or deodorant YouTube: The Doctors / TikTok: carnivoremd2Popular influencer and carnivore diet practitioner, Dr. Paul Saladino, is sparking some outrage online after claiming he doesn’t need soap and deodorant to smell clean. Dr. Paul Saladino is a Functional Medicine Physician, influencer, and one of the leading advocates for what is popularly known as the ‘Carnivore Diet.’ The Carnivore Diet is a diet that only consists of animal products — namely red meat, eggs, fish, and poultry, excluding all fruits and vegetables. Saladino has literally written the book about it but that’s not the only unusual lifestyle choice in which he indulges. A recent TikTok from the MD is shocking the internet, wherein he claims that he doesn’t use any personal hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, and even deodorant. His video discussing his personal grooming habits has gone viral, racking up over one million views as curious cats can’t believe a licensed doctor is apparently hygiene-avoidant. “People always ask me what kind of shampoo I use,” he says in his video. “None. Just water! Soap? Just water. I don’t use that either.” Instead, Saladino argues that the “quality of your diet will determine how you smell and how your breath is.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. However, TikTok commenters aren’t really buying his claims as oodles of viewers are chiming in with some serious speculation. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for good diet and exercise, but using soap and deodorant ain’t gonna take years off your life,” one user wrote. “Bro, not all bad breath comes from the gut,” another argued. “It can also come from not flossing, and also from the tongue, or even a cavity if someone had one.” “So… you don’t wash your hands after taking a dump or before preparing food?” another asked. All in all, it doesn’t look like most folks are convinced of Dr. Saladino’s claims — but he isn’t the only big name pushing the carnivore diet, by far. In fact, popular podcast host Joe Rogan goes on the diet once a year… although sometimes, he says his stomach disagrees with his food choices.

TikToker on rampage doesn’t understand why paper straws are served with plastic cups – Dexerto
TikToker on rampage doesn’t understand why paper straws are served with plastic cups Instagram: tomdaddarioA man left his local barista and went on a rampage about paper straws being served with plastic cups. TikToker Tom Daddario took his rampage online to expose coffee shops for serving paper straws with plastic cups. Though the paper straw craze has been around for about five years, as McDonald’s began giving paper instead of plastic straws in 2018, Daddario, who ranted about the change in his sipping method, asked a reasonable question, ‘Why give paper straws if you’re still using plastic cups?’ Since posting his comical agitation online, social media has weighed in on the topic, agreeing with the inquiry of Daddario. US states banned the use of plastic straws and implemented the use of paper ones Plastic pollution began to rise in the 1900’s, causing damage to our ecosystem through non-recycled items being emptied into our oceans. Not only that, but globally, the world generates over 400 million tons a year of plastic waste. But where does the waste go if it hasn’t been dumped into the oceans? Well, smaller plastic items like straws and bottle caps are generally littered on the ground, resulting in some US states to ban the use of plastic altogether in 2020. Not all states have banned plastic, but places like New York, California, and Oregon have done so, which caused fast food places and coffee joints to have to replace plastic straws with paper ones. However, those same states that banned the use of plastic, still allow serving beverages in plastic cups — despite using paper straws alongside it. Though it’s a solid effort to restore the ecosystem, the paper straw and plastic cup nuance caused Daddario to take his opinion to the net, having ranted about how much the “20:1” plastic to paper ratio doesn’t make sense. In his video, Daddario can be heard saying, “I care about the planet, but guess what? This f—ing pisses me off!” He then held up his paper straw and said, “This paper straw is going to fall apart and make your drinks suck halfway through.” He continued, “But the thing that makes me mad about it is that it came in a plastic cup, with a plastic cover! This ratio must be 20:1! How about you give me a plastic straw and a paper f—ing cup, that way, we can help the planet and I can enjoy my f—ing drink!” Since posting his rampage to his TikTok and Instagram, Daddario received plenty of people agreeing with him, as one viewer said, “All facts!! I’m utterly mind blown that the lawmakers who came up with this paper straw s—t didn’t think to do away with plastic cups and lids instead.” While others said, “This guy just makes sense… he needs a podcast, lighting, and some editors — please,” as well as, “100% agree with you.” Though Daddario’s concern is quite valid, the use of plastic straws in certain states is likely to continue, as the plastic ban has not been lifted.

TikToker onlyjayus reveals shocking photos after assault at Metallica concert – Dexerto
TikToker onlyjayus reveals shocking photos after assault at Metallica concert onlyjayus, TikTokA TikTok star with over 17 million followers, Bella ‘onlyjayus’ Avila, found her attacker with the help of fans on the social media platform after being “repeatedly punched” during a Metallica concert. The content creator has recorded over 830 million likes during her time on the video-sharing platform. Her uploads are normally lighthearted, with topics ranging from fun facts to general life tips followers can take on board. On May 29, one of her clips had racked up over 500,000 likes, but for very different reasons. Bella explained that during a Metallica concert – at the Bottlerock Festival in Napa, California – she was assaulted in the VIP section. The event started on May 27 and ended two days later. The TikToker reported the aggressor to Bottlerock security and urged viewers to come forward with any information regarding his identity if they recognize him. Just hours later and detectives across TikTok solved the case, confirming the identity of the man in question. TikTok star onlyjayus assaulted at Bottlerock Festival In her initial TikTok video, she explains that a moshpit broke out behind her which led to a slight crowd surge in her direction. From there, she was pushed into a guy in front, who allegedly responded with aggression. Read More: TikTok slang explained: FYP, POV, PFP – Talking through her experience, the creator said: “This man’s response [after the accidental bump] was to push me to the ground, where I ended up hitting my head. When I stand back up, kind of like ‘what the f**k’, this man grabs me by my shirt and repeatedly punched me in the face.” Bella included the photographs of not just the man who had assaulted her, but also shots of her face after the punches. There was no visible bruising on her jaw at the time of recording, though photos from the day of the event showed markings above the eye. More footage was posted by her on Twitter, which has since been submitted to security. Anyone in the Napa area recognize this guy? The mosh pit behind us pushed me into him. His response was to push me to the floor. When I got back up he grabbed me by the shirt & punched me in the face 4 times I got this vid to show security but he ran before they could find him pic.twitter.com/nlV6EsXYjl — onlyjayus (@notjayus) May 28, 2022 Following the repeated punches, the social media influencer wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt by explaining he had hit a woman. Standing at over six feet tall, Avila assumed he may be more remorseful after this was explained, yet she said he followed up with: “I don’t give a f**k.” Once they were separated, Avila fled the scene for a few moments and upon return, the guy was gone. The male was clean shaved, wearing a Velvet Antlers Technology cap and a camo jacket. The experience has naturally put a downer on the festival for onlyjayus, too. After posting the clip, she replied: “I’m at the festival again right now and can’t really enjoy the music because I’m too busy scanning the crowd.” Onlyjays attacker identified After posting her public callout to TikTok. Onlyjaysus was able to post a lightning turnaround thanks to sleuths the world over. In a video posted less than 48 hours after alerting the internet to her attack, an extremely pleased Bella announced: “we found him.” Continuing, she said: “in 24 hours you guys were able to find him and send me his name, age, phone number, address, place of business, and his wife and son’s number.” The TikToker then clarified that the assailant admitted to the assault over the phone. Bella also announced she passed on all relevant information to the police before pressing charges, as well as promising to keep everyone updated with the next steps in this process.

TikToker Nina goes viral sneaking into Met Gala and reveals how she did it – Dexerto
TikToker Nina goes viral sneaking into Met Gala and reveals how she did it TikTok: Nina LinTikToker Nina Lin managed to sneak into the annual Met Gala event without a credential, and her videos documenting the experience have blown up a fair bit. Sneaking into a fancy event with a fake badge, holding a camera, or just booking it past a security team has produced some of the internet’s most classic highlights. Some of the biggest content creators on the planet have managed to get into somewhere where they probably shouldn’t be with a bit of trickery, and it’s a trend that will probably never die. Well, one TikToker – Nina Lin – managed to sneak past security at the 2021 Met Gala in New York and mingle with some of the biggest stars on the planet. And as a result, her account has blown up. The TikToker, who has over 2 million followers on the video-sharing app, dropped a handful of posts documenting her experience – with two in particular in reaching over eight million and 17 million views respectively – before bundling it all into a YouTube video. Nina stated that she managed to sneak past the security guards by claiming she was a part of the New York Times coverage team working on Snapchat, making it all the way to the red carpet. Once there, she got to chat it up with the likes of Chance the Rapper, Lil Nas X, Jimmy Fallon, and Rita Ora, among others. Plus, she even managed to grab some selfies with them to boot. The event, obviously, goes much further than the red carpet showcase, leading into some glitzy afterparties. Nina said that she tried to get into them, but she didn’t last long. As for making a return next year, Nina advised people not to attempt to copy her sneaking in, but if the Met Gala actually wants to give her an official invite, she’s all for that.

TikToker Nessa Barrett slams TalentX’s Michael Gruen: “He hates me” – Dexerto
TikToker Nessa Barrett slams TalentX’s Michael Gruen: “He hates me” Instagram: Michael Gruen/ Instagram: Nessa BarrettNessa Barrett has slammed TalentX manager Micheal Gruen in the third installment of Josh Richards and Dave Portnoy’s new podcast BFFs in which they talk about all things TikTok drama. The first episode of the podcast sent fans into a frenzy after the Barstool Sports’ president claimed that Nessa Barrett had found her fame through dating Josh Richards. The host claimed he was “in the middle of a TikTok war” and fuelled drama by tweeting memes and jokes about the situation. But for their third episode, they actually invited Nessa herself onto the show, and while there appeared to be no beef between Dave and the popular TikToker, it was revealed that the manager of TalentX Michael Gruen and Nessa are feuding. Fans of Nessa will know that the pair don’t necessarily like each other. After the drama surrounding the first episode, Michael weighed in with his own opinion on an Instagram fan page for the star. He wrote, “I must’ve missed the memo that Nessa – or anyone for that matter – deserves ‘the world’. The earth is inhabited by ~7B people…last I checked Nessa is just one of them (along with myself and everyone else).” Nessa did not publicly reply but she did unfollow him on Instagram. It turns out that their beef runs a little deeper. After remaining quite held back with her answers for the first half of the podcast, Nessa suddenly had words to say once Micheal was mentioned by Dave. (Topic starts at 27:00) She said, “I do not like him. He’s rude. He hates me. He has it out for me. I think he’s jealous because he’s secretly in love with Josh which is no problem but yeah he has called me ugly to my face and in front of people” Josh attempted to defend Michael, and said that the word “Ugly” wasn’t used, but instead that “he said my taste in women was not good.” Nessa continued, “He has said like the beginning of quarantine that he wants to send me on a one-way ticket to Mexico and I’ve been sat there alone and I was 17 like he is just rude…I just don’t waste my energy on him I just don’t like him he’s a terrible person” She also added and emphasized that “he is a certified a**hole.” Michael is yet to react to Nessa’s brutal takedown, but given his reputation, he is likely to respond very soon.

TikToker Nessa Barrett begs paparazzi to leave her alone amid breakdown – Dexerto
TikToker Nessa Barrett begs paparazzi to leave her alone amid breakdown YouTube: The Hollywood Fix[jwplayer ksH6zuKH] Nessa Barrett is a popular face on TikTok, boasting over 10.8 million followers on the viral video app for her catchy dance videos — but sometimes, internet fame can come with a steep price. Nessa Barrett has been a hot topic across social media for quite some time, having come under fire for a controversial video where she danced to audio of the Quran being read aloud in early April. This scandal aside, Barrett has been relatively welcome sight online, even gaining notoriety for her original song “Pain” — although some critics accused her of copying the music video of singer Madison Beer’s own song, “Selfish.” Now, Barrett is coming under the microscope again, taking to Twitter to beg paparazzi to leave her alone as she struggles with her mental health. https://twitter.com/nessaabarrett/status/1301217877048078336?s=20 “My mental health issues are so serious and personal,” Barrett wrote. “Don’t record me while I’m going through something and post it please.” The videos in question appear to have been filmed by popular celebrity news outlet The Hollywood Fix and photographer Kevin Wong, which show the TikTok star “breaking down crying” during a dinner with fellow influencer Josh Richards. The videos, which now boast over a combined 340k views on YouTube, have been met with some contention among fans, some of whom have expressed grief that she is being exposed during such a vulnerable moment. “I don’t think you should film someone crying,” one user advised. “What was literally the point of recording her crying?” another asked. “She’s just a teen, everyone makes mistakes, The hate she’s getting is too much, and even if she were an adult, why would you record someone crying?” “WHY ARE YOU FILMING HER WHILST SHES CRYING?! Just give these people a break from cameras and paparazzi all in their faces. SOME OF THEM ARE STILL A TEEN!” This isn’t the first time Barrett’s mental health has been the talk of the net; the star opened up about her struggles in an interview in early August, revealing that she’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression. Fans are reaching out to the TikToker in support as the incident sparks conversation regarding privacy while living in the public eye.

I know it was wrong, that video was two years ago and I look absolutely stupid and that’s on me. “I’m extremely sorry to not only the people I offended but to all of my followers for disappointing them this way. I will make a video explaining more and apologizing more because this apology doesn’t seem as genuine as it should be. There’s nothing I can do at this point… I wish I could take it back.” View this post on Instagram Despite Naomi’s apology, and promise that she would film another, “better apology”, people were not impressed with one person commenting on Instagram, “No, I’ve come to a decision any TikToker who isn’t black says the n-word from now on they will forever be canceled in my mind because this is a damn shame”, which had more than 500 likes. Another user in the comments on the drama page accused Naomi of “fake shaking,” while many others said that they do not accept the apology.

Sometimes videos are so popular that they even end up going viral again months after they were originally posted, as is the case for TikToker nabby.nabs. Nabs had been documenting the process of her pregnancy on her account to share with her followers, and in October 2021, she posted a clip of the beginning of her ‘drop.’ According to the NHS, this is when the baby moves head down into the pelvis “in a staged process called ‘engagement.’” Nabs captured the first sign of the drop, and then showed an image of her bump 48 hours later in an amazing ‘after’ shot.

TikToker mortified nursing home residents sleep with more people than she does Instagram/TikTok/anniekknightA TikToker and OnlyFans star was left absolutely stunned after learning that elderly folks at nursing homes are having a lot more luck on the dating scene than she is. In a viral clip that has been taking over the platform, Annie Knight, a TikToker from Australia, revealed that she has a friend who works at a nursing home and hears all sorts of wild stories. According to Knight, everyone in the nursing home her friend works at has been very active under the sheets – more so than even she is. “They just r**t like bunnies. They sneak into each other’s rooms and they just go to town,” she said. I’m pretty sure they’re having more [intimacy] than I am right now… apparently everyone is just sleeping with each other. It’s high school all over again!” Knight went on to ask her viewers if they could verify the claims her friend made and the results backed up what she had heard.

They try to talk dirty to my mom and she’s like ‘no I’ve been married for 22 years,’” wrote one. “My ex left me for her boss that was a REGISTERED nurse. So yes, the staff definitely do. Not sure about the clients,” replied another. “I don’t know about heaps and all of them… But yep! At least some do it,” remarked someone else. The TikToker ended her video by joking that she should go to a nursing home herself judging by the comments, it might not be such a bad idea if she’s looking for a partner (or a dozen) when she’s older.

TikToker Motmcody goes viral for exposing “Curbside Karen” over driveway argument TikTok: motmcodyTikToker Cody Salazar (@motmcody) has gone viral on August 24 for posting an exposé of his very own “Curbside Karen,” which has already accrued over a million views. ‘Karen’ videos have become an entire sub-genre in their own right. On August 10, another culprit went viral on TikTok for complaining about a homeowner’s Tigger flag. Later, on August 17, a “Gym Karen” exploded onto the platform after filming herself scolding fellow gym members. TikTok viewers flocked in their thousands to watch the latest ‘Karen’ drama on August 24. Cody, who usually posts gaming content and vlogs, recorded his neighbor reprimanding him for parking on her driveway. In the video, ‘Karen’ and her accomplice maintained that they “own the street,” while Cody branded them “embarrassing.” Cody addressed his neighbor initially by asking “is there a problem?” The woman then responded by saying “you can record me, I don’t give a f**k.” She repeatedly told the TikToker to “shut up” after he questioned what the “issue” was. He insisted that his parking was “legal” and challenged her to “call a tow truck, call the cops.” Cody then revealed that a “sheriff came” to the house, although he didn’t specify which party called him. ‘Karen’ was then told to “move her car.” In a final video (also posted on August 24), the TikToker told viewers that his “petty” neighbor “got back into her car” and “backed up” after the police left. Fans lived for the drama Cody’s viewers turned to the comments for more chaos. User Janet (jguzman721) encouraged the TikToker to “tow it! Tow it! Tow it!” Another user simply said, “I’d be embarrassed if that was my mom.” User AJ Sanchez coined the name “Curbside Karen,” which won approval from Cody himself. “I think this is the one bro,” he said. Others defended the neighbor after the TikToker branded her a “nutcase.” One viewer said, “it’s an unwritten rule not to park in front of someone’s house,” calling it “common courtesy.” Check out Cody’s TikTok for more ‘Karen’ drama!

TikToker mortified as serial killer dad wrote to say she looked “fat” in wedding photos TikTok/lifeafterhappyfaceThe daughter of the notorious Happy Face Killer has revealed the disturbing letters her dad sends her from prison in an outrageous TikTok, even mocking her “fat” wedding day photos. Melissa Moore is the daughter of Keith Hunter Jesperson, better known as the Happy Face Killer. He earned that monicker by drawing smiley faces on letters he would send to media and authorities in the 90s. Growing up the daughter of a man who killed at least 8 women is not easy, but Moore has embraced her reality, and she’s since become quite the popular TikToker with over 100,000 followers. In a viral TikTok, Moore showcased letters her dad sent her from jail and they’re downright eerie, to say the least. TikToker’s serial killer father calls her “fat” According to Moore, she got married this summer in July and shortly after, she received a letter from her dad in the mail containing a photo of her at the wedding. “So, he’s somehow able to see my Instagram from prison,” she explained. (Click here if TikTok fails to load) It’s not completely out of the norm for criminals to have internet access, but the fact he’s able to get on Instagram suggests he could potentially interact with others digitally while behind bars. “In the letter, he says I’m fat and my husband is fat and we don’t run,” Moore added. “He then tells me maybe this marriage will work and ends with ‘why wasn’t I invited?’” The TikToker went on to show off a Christmas gift she was sent by her dad, containing a purse that his inmate friend had apparently made. So far, Moore’s disturbing video has been viewed over eight million times, making it her most popular upload on the platform and she plans to reveal more letters in additional clips going forward.

TikToker mortified by gown that looks nothing like what she ordered online – Dexerto
TikToker mortified by gown that looks nothing like what she ordered online TIKTOK: fashionbyanitaA TikToker was left stunned after the dreamy evening gown she ordered online looked completely different in real life. Fashion blogger Anita (fashionbyanita) bought a stunning gold off-the-shoulder evening gown from the online retailer Cherley. However, she was shocked by what was delivered to her, and went on to share her frustration on TikTok. “This is what came in the mail,” Anita said in her video, modeling the dress for her 172,900 followers. “I don’t even know how long I’ve been waiting for this now. Let me show you what this was advertised it was going to look like, which is why I bought it.” “But this is what we got, just keep that in mind,” she added, showcasing her garment made of what seemed like low-quality fabric. Anita then shared a picture of what she actually ordered. In the photo advertised on the website, the model wore a beautiful metallic gold dress with petal trim. The design was visibly different, and it looked nothing like what the TikToker was wearing. Anita revealed that she’d purchased the metallic dress on September 10 and received her order on November 30. “Now can you tell me which one is not like the other?” she quipped. TikTok users in the comments were in hysterics over the online shopping fail. “Hahaha wow, that has to be the worst ‘doesn’t look like the original’ I’ve seen,” one person wrote. “Nah that’s an AI dress they got you lmao,” another said. “I don’t blame people for disappointing you… I blame yourself for trusting them,” a third commented. “I was trying to see the potential in tweaking it. I’m sorry for your loss,” someone else shared. In a follow-up clip, the fashion influencer showed an email she received from Cherley, which asked her to send pictures of the item to resolve the issue. Anita said she “can’t wait to send these photos.” For more entertainment news and other viral stories, be sure to check out our coverage.

TikToker mortified after user easily fakes her dad’s identity during stream – Dexerto
TikToker mortified after user easily fakes her dad’s identity during stream TikTok: et.nyaA TikToker was left mortified after a user easily faked her dad’s identity during a stream, convincing her they were the real deal. In the age of social media, anyone can impersonate you online. All you need is a name, some basic information about the person you’re copying, and a little bit of social engineering. It’s this reason why verification has historically been so crucial across various platforms. To prove the real from the fake. Though showing just how easy it is to impersonate someone online, a TikTok is now going viral showing how a person you’re talking to might not even be who they claim to. Uploaded by TikTok user et.nya, they hopped into a random TikTok livestream, found the streamer’s Facebook page, and used the streamer’s dad’s image as a profile picture. Naturally, the streamer was skeptical at first, considering et.nya’s username was “rizzondemand”. Even saying, “Unless someone’s pretending to be my dad, but I don’t think so.” To prove they were their dad, the streamer asked what her nickname was, which was also remarkably easy to find. “Bugg” is the streamer’s nickname, which was discoverable on the streamer’s dad’s Facebook page as well. Once et.nya correctly called her Bugg, the streamer immediately bought in, despite the username. Naturally, many viewers were mortified, with one comment writing, “The internet is a scary place.” However, others found the humor in it, saying, “Rizzondemand had me howling.” This isn’t the first time et.nya has freaked out random TikTok live streamers with their profile picture, regularly going into random livestreams and using the streamer’s face as their profile picture. So if you’re going to live stream on TikTok, or any social media for that matter, do be careful of what you put out there.

TikToker mortified after NYC landlord raises rat-infested apartment rent by $800 – Dexerto
TikToker mortified after NYC landlord raises rat-infested apartment rent by $800 TikTok/trina_roseeeA TikToker based in New York City has gone viral after revealing her landlord was hiking rent at her flooded, rat-infested apartment by nearly $1,000 a month and even more for new tenants. New York City is one of the most expensive cities in the world and it could be getting a lot worse for one Trina Rose. In a TikTok that’s grossing out the platform, Rose explained how the landlord would be increasing the rent by $800 because “that’s what the apartment’s worth.” Following this, she began showing off what the inside of her apartment looked like and it’s got to be one of the nastiest things many have seen. (click here if TikTok fails to load) TikToker reveals flooded, rat and roach-filled apartment Right after revealing the rent increase, Rose kept mocking the landlord’s quote of “that’s what the apartment’s worth” by showcasing her living conditions. In addition to floods, the TikToker filmed roaches on the ground and even what appeared to be a couple of dead rats. Rose went on to reveal that her “greedy bastard” landlord went on to list the apartment for a whopping $1,700 more than what she and her roommate were currently playing. To be transparent, Rose said she was paying three grand, but the landlord asked for thirty-eight, so she would be moving out, but the next tenant would be paying a lot more. (click here if TikTok fails to load) “He listed the apartment for $4,700 a month! And is he going to put $4,700 worth of improvements into this place? No!” she blasted. “It’s still going to have the roaches, it’s still going to be attracting rats in the back and if there’s a f**king tropical storm, it’s gonna flood!” Users were disgusted by the rent increase and the living area, slamming the landlord for his ways. In any case, anyone in New York might want to stay clear of that area unless they have a love of all things roaches.

TikToker mortified after charging customer thousands for $14 drink – Dexerto
TikToker mortified after charging customer thousands for $14 drink TikTok: alexander_saintvon/Unsplash: Fahmi FakhrudinA TikToker was left horrified after she accidentally charged a customer $1,453 for a coffee instead of the regular price of $14.53 and had to ‘hide’ from them. TikTok has very much become a platform for users to share stories from their daily lives rather than just being about dance routines, new works of art, and other bits of creativity. That, naturally, includes plenty of horror stories about goings on. Some TikTokers have recorded themselves getting fired while trying to make a video of their day, others have clashed with Airbnb hosts over the state of the house they’re staying at, and so on. Well, one TikToker – Alexander Saint Von – had another case of the scaries after she revealed that she’d overcharged one customer in a massive way for a coffee, prompting her to hide from them for a bit. Barista accidentally charged customer thousands for cup of coffee That’s right, the TikToker, who works as a barista, was supposed to charge a customer $14.53 for their order but accidentally went way beyond that. Instead, she charged them $1453 for the order. “I’m just a 23-year-old teenage girl. Don’t be mad at me,” she said in her post, which has gotten over 33,000 views at the time of writing. Plenty of viewers were understanding of the mistake, even if Alexader had to hide from the customer. “I’ve done this before. Thankfully the person was nice about it and my manager was able to void it,” one said. “This something I would do,” another said. Alexander noted that the order was ultimately voided and the customer got their money back. “It was voided lol. The customer was super understanding and their money was given back to them,” she said in one of her comments. It’s just a word to the wise to always check your bill before paying. You never know, you might have a massive charge on it as a surprise.

TikToker mortified after Gen Z-er tells him this dance move makes him look “old” TikTok: goodforthegoochA TikToker has been left shocked after finding out his dance moves were “giving away” his age after getting called out while clubbing. A night out clubbing and dancing the night away is a great opportunity for many to let loose, test out some new moves, and feel the music. But according to Gen Z, there are some unspoken rules to follow for those looking to get out on the dance floor. One TikToker found this out after dancing with a girl at the club only for her to claim his moves were “giving away” how “old” he was. Gus, who goes by ‘goodforthegooch’ on TikTok, posted a video in which he recounted how a night out dancing resulted in a brutal reality check. “I was dancing at the club last night with this girl and she was like, ‘You know what’s giving away your age?… You keep putting your hands up,’’ Gus said. Following her comment, Gus said he continued to keep dancing the same without realizing it, resulting in her telling him to stop; “She like put my arms down and I was like, ‘I’m too old to be in this club.” Viewers were shocked by the dance rules Gen Z was seemingly adopting, with one person writing, “What I noticed in [this] generation [is] they don’t seem to be having fun when they dance… we had fun not caring what people saw!” Another said, “Imagine feeling the music through your body, happily and someone says to change your dancing style bc you’re showing your age?? Nooo!” Many encouraged Gus to ignore the advice he’d been offered at the club, telling him instead to “Live freely, raise those hands baby.” “We were literally instructed to put our hands in the air like we just don’t care. It’s our legacy.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

TikToker Montana Hughes reveals advantage she has over MasterChef stars – Dexerto
TikToker Montana Hughes reveals advantage she has over MasterChef stars YouTube: Channel 10 / 10P PlayTikTok star and influencer-chef Montana Hughes is set to compete on MasterChef — and while she might not be a seasoned competitor, she’s confident she has what it takes to win. Australian influencer Montana Hughes is a bonafide TikTok star with over 200,000 followers and 5 million likes on the viral video app. Her content primarily revolves around all things culinary and cooking. Known for such delicacies as her kiwifruit bark and cream cheese garlic bread, there’s not an item on her menu that doesn’t make the mouth water. She’s set her sights a bit higher than being a social media star, though, as she’s now slated to participate in the forthcoming season of MasterChef Fans & Faves Australia. Click here if TikTok fails to load. While she’s definitely got some skills under her belt, the TikToker is the youngest competitor in the group… a cast that is also filled with former competitors who are already used to the pressure of televised cooking competitions. “Even I can say it myself, the amount of experience I have compared to someone like Julie Goodwin… I mean, that’s something you can’t change,” Hughes said in an interview with 10 Play. View this post on Instagram “But I credit a lot of my foundation in cooking from learning from MasterChef, making the recipes from 10 play, experimenting and stuff like that. I think, having taught myself from that creative style of cooking is a very different sort of style, and something that I think is a bit of an advantage.” If things continue on the up-and-up, Hughe’s big dream is to someday open “a small 10-seater restaurant where I have complete creative license over the kitchen,” and even change the menu “week to week.” There’s no telling how the show will turn out, but one thing’s for sure — Hughes is confident that her unique TikTok flavor will bring something fresh to the table.

TikToker mocked for bizarre live stream using straightener to make popcorn – Dexerto
TikToker mocked for bizarre live stream using straightener to make popcorn TikTok: pinkydollrealTikToker ‘pinkydoll’ is coming under fire after a clip from her live stream went viral, showing the influencer constantly repeating odd phrases while popping popcorn with a hair straightener. TikTok is a hive for viral content of all sorts… but some of this content is more unique than others. Between the site’s viral trends like the Grimace Shake and viral moments that take the whole internet by storm — like a woman who was convinced that a passenger on her flight “wasn’t real” — are influencers who are trying to take off on the app by standing out as much as they can. One of these influencers is facing backlash online for her unique spin on TikTok live streams… but some netizens are praising her for getting the bag. A TikToker by the name ‘pinkydoll’ went viral on social media after a Twitter user uploaded a clip from her live stream, which shows the influencer popping popcorn kernels using a hair straightener while repeating a slew of odd phrases without taking a breath. “Ice cream so good, yes yes yes,” she repeats, before thanking a viewer named Lopez and saying, “Slay,” and licking the air. “Thank you Blade, thank you Jayce, gang gang,” she says, and then growls. Viewers confused as TikToker repeats odd phrases during live stream The short clip is so strange that it’s sending viewers for a loop. “Any time I accidentally happen upon a TikTok Live, I feel like I am watching the world end,” one user said about the clip. “I just feel so old,” another said. “I don’t know what’s going on, or why anybody is getting paid.” I just feel so old. I don’t know what’s going on or why anybody is getting paid. — Bad John Brown (@BadJohnBrown) July 10, 2023 “I mean, she’s got more than 1000 likes in less than 30 seconds, so…” a commenter argued. I mean she’s got more than 1000 likes in less than 30 seconds so — Johnny Drg (@johnnydrgg) July 11, 2023 “And you would do it too, for a dollar,” another said. But why in the world is pinkydoll saying all those weird phrases? It turns out that her repetitive actions (i.e., her licking the air or saying, “ice cream so good”) are ‘rewards’ that are prompted when viewers give her tokens, which appear on the screen during her live streams. This is just the latest odd moment to take over TikTok after a man found himself lost at sea while on vacation with his pals.

TikToker mocks viewers calling him out for making videos over a minute-long – Dexerto
TikToker mocks viewers calling him out for making videos over a minute-long TikTok: _nickvogelA TikToker has hit back at viewers criticizing him for pushing the lengths of his videos to 1-minute with a hilarious response. TikTok’s Creator Fund was developed to reward the “creativity and hard work” of its users by providing “monetization tools and opportunities.” Users who qualify by meeting specific eligibility requirements could take advantage of the Creator Fund to make money via their original TikToks. In hopes of achieving just this, however, one man has found himself on the receiving end of criticism after viewers took issue with his videos being pushed to meet the 1-minute mark. Seemingly unphased, he hit back with a hilarious response. Nick Vogel, who goes by ‘_nickvogel‘ on TikTok, posted in response to a comment claiming his videos were “Always somehow barely over a minute.” “And there’s always somehow 20 of you saying the exact same thing on every video,” Vogel said. “I already addressed this once but I’m going to address it again — why do you care that I’m making money? Especially when you’re not the one paying?” “For a video to qualify for the Creator Fund it has to be over 1 minute long,” Vogel explained, stating his videos hit this requirement “95 percent” of the time before the rule was even in place. “I just don’t understand why anyone cares at all. It’s a shame TikTok doesn’t have a salty commenter fund — you guys would be making bank.” Then — to ensure his video did hit 1 minute — Vogel hilariously included a selfie thanking viewers for helping him rack in money as the TikTok continued for a further 30 seconds with backing music. Amused commenters praised Vogel’s humorous response, with one person writing, “This made me laugh so I stayed the whole minute.” “The best outro ever!” another stated. “Please bring this back in future videos! Especially ones under a minute.” It certainly doesn’t seem Vogel will be cutting back on his TikTok times in the near future. Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

In a TikTok video with over 4.4. million views, the woman shared the moment she missed her boyfriend’s proposal because she was too focused on getting a photo of them together. “POV: You just wanted a fit pic and boyfriend tries to propose, but you need to check the waiter’s angles,” reads the on-screen caption to the viral clip. The embarrassing moment occurred when Monica and Andrew (couplecam) were at a restaurant, and got a waiter to take some pictures of them as the two were dressed up. Little did Monica know, the couple were dressed for an occasion, as Andrew had an engagement ring box by his side, before holding it up and opening it to reveal the rock. During the seven-second clip, Monica can be heard telling the server she needed “flash” for the photos, to which Andrew quips “is this flashy” while brandishing the rock. Unfortunately, his girlfriend didn’t notice that he’d proposed, as she was too preoccupied with the camera angle. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load below.

In a follow-up video, Andrew can be seen holding Monica’s hand, which now bears the engagement ring. “You think that’s flashy enough?” he joked, in a callback to his line in the viral video.

TikToker Mizzy apologises for pranks as the Tate brothers want him to “lead a better life” YouTube: memeulousTikTok star Mizzy, who rose to infamy after a series of his controversial pranks went viral, has apologised for his actions after discussing his future with Tristan and Andrew Tate. The TikTok prankster was arrested and charged several times after pranks which involved entering people’s homes, stealing dogs and taking over trains. When he appeared on Piers Morgan’s show for an interview, he showed little remorse for his actions, and said he was going to use the attention to start streaming on Twitch.

TikToker Mizzy says the Tate brothers reached out to him after arrest. In his apology, Mizzy stated that he now plans on “trying to do right” for the young people who watch his videos, and that the Tate brothers reached out to him after the charges against him. He said: “I don’t really have regrets in my life, I live life in the moment, but that video should have never been posted, or even done in the first place. “I basically gained clout from a stupid thing. Now that I have this platform and all these eyes on me, I’m trying to do right.” However, he made a distinction between his real self, Bacari, and the persona Mizzy, who are “two different people” in his eyes. He promised that: “Mizzy is still going to be effect in some way, shape or form.” “I’ve been talking with the Tate brothers, Tristan reached out to me, and he wants to help me lead a better life and be an advocate for better things. “I can be the hero or the villain. Right now, I’m the villain.” Time will tell if Mizzy makes good on his promises, but this seems like a genuine new leaf. Here’s hoping it pans out well.

TikToker Mikayla Nogueira under fire for claiming it’s hard to be an influencer – Dexerto
TikToker Mikayla Nogueira under fire for claiming it’s hard to be an influencer TikTok: MikaylanogueiraTikTok beauty star Mikayla Nogueira, who has over 13 million followers on the platform, is facing criticism for comments she made in a 2021 video, where she explained the difficulties of her influencer career. Although the original video is over a year old and now deleted, it went viral in September 2022 after spreading on Twitter and Reddit, before making the rounds on TikTok again. In the video, Nogueira responds to a comment suggesting she tries a “9-5” job to see how hard it is. “Every single day I get up at 6am,” Nogueira said. “I spend about 5-6 hours filming video content that ranges from three to four videos, and then I spend a few hours editing that video content. Then I have to work on my other social media profiles.” Mikayla Nogueira: “Try being an influencer” She finished the video by saying “try being an influencer for a day,” implying that it is difficult and that the hardship is not recognized by non-influencers. The sound “I just finished working, it’s 5:19. Try being an influencer for a day, just try it,” has been used by countless TikTokers to compare it to their own work day. TikToker ‘styledbyam’ posted her response, which has accrued over 2 million views, explaining that after a full day of university, they now have to “serve food and drinks for 8 hours.” Mikayla has so far avoided responding to the backlash, but her comment section on her latest videos are now full of people discussing the issue, either positive or negative. Her last video, published on September 23, has over 11 million views, which is about three times more than her regular uploads. In the comments, there is fierce debate about her now infamous TikTok video. “People are really cruel. That’s all I’m going to say. Love you, Mikayla,” one fan wrote. Others joked, “Bestie take a day off you’ve been working so hard.” Another commented, “God this looks so much harder than being threatened almost every day in retail and customer service.” Many are also anticipating a response video from Mikayla, but as of the time of writing, there is no public response.

TikToker Mikaela Testa hasn’t left her house in a week after being ‘fat-shamed’ by Kerri Gribble – Dexerto
TikToker Mikaela Testa hasn’t left her house in a week after being ‘fat-shamed’ by Kerri Gribble TIKTOK: mikaelatesta/INSTAGRAM: mikaelatestaTikToker and OnlyFans model Mikaela Testa said she hasn’t left her house in a week after being body-shamed by another model. Earlier this month, fellow Australian influencer and OnlyFans model Kerri Gribble called Mikaela “fat” in a since-deleted Snapchat video. After the two had met at an event, Kerri took to the social media app to give a “public service announcement” to her fans. In the clip, she declared that “social media is fake” and “Mikaela Testa is fat in person.” Mikaela initially responded by brushing it off, as she uploaded a video in which she flaunted her figure, with audio that declared “I don’t give no f**ks.” However, in an emotional TikTok video posted on December 17, the 22-year-old shared the real impact of Kerri’s words. “I have not left the house in a week since that comment was made, because I don’t like what I look like and I don’t want to be seen by anyone,” she revealed. “I struggled with an eating disorder between the ages of 16 to 21 and it was one of the reasons why I got my surgery because I thought it would fix whatever was wrong with my brain. “The last thing that I wanted was for this to be resurfaced and brought back because I don’t know how to fix it.” Many TikTok users slammed Kerri’s body-shaming remarks, and called for WhiteFox Boutique – a brand the model works with – to drop her. In a statement to news.com.au, the brand said it was “no longer an affiliate” with Kerri. Following the controversy, the influencer shared a written apology to her Instagram Stories, in which she admitted she never intended for the video to go public. Kerri explained that she was surprised Mikaela “looked different in person” and that she did not consider calling someone “fat” to be an insult. Mikaela stated in a comment under her video, that although she’s not “too accepting” of Kerri’s apology, she can “move forward and forgive her.”

TikToker Megan Marie explains viral cheating boyfriend TikTok after claims its fake – Dexerto
TikToker Megan Marie explains viral cheating boyfriend TikTok after claims its fake TikTok: CallHerMeganMarieA viral TikTok from user Megan Marie where she apparently caught her boyfriend cheating and watching the Olympics with another girl has sparked quite the debate on social media, with some unsure if it was staged or not. For the longest time, TikTok was all about showing off your singing or dancing skills. However, as the video-sharing app has gotten increasingly popular, it has become so much more than that. The app now resembles Vine, when that was at its peak, mixing a wide range of content into one, with plenty of users going viral for the tiniest of things. Now, a post from user callhermeganmarie has caught the attention of millions as she apparently caught her boyfriend cheating on her. However, she’s had to clear things up. Megan Marie’s cheating boyfriend TikTok video Megan’s initial post came on July 24 where she was recalling a text message exchange she’d had with her ‘boyfriend’ asking what he was doing. He apparently informed her that he was watching the Olympics with friends, but a closer look showed that wasn’t the case. The TikToker showed that the photo he’d sent her had some interesting clues about where he was – including a female-style TV cabinet, a glass of wine on the table, and a photo frame clearly missing a photo. Her post quickly blew up, receiving well over three million views and thousands of commenters berating the boy in question for cheating on her. Though, some believed the photo was a set-up and she was intending to go viral by lying. Megan Marie responds to viral cheating boyfriend TikTok Well, in response to the attention, Megan Marie cleared things up and showed that she wasn’t involved in the photo and the boy she was talking to was actually hanging out with someone else. However, she added that she hasn’t cut contact with him. Instead, the pair apparently went on a date after the post blew up and saw the funny side of it. “We were both joking about it,” the TikToker added. “He’s not a piece of trash like everyone was saying, it’s just funny.” Megan is not alone in using a ‘live photo’ of cheating to go viral on TikTok. Back in May, influencer Serena Kerrigan had a similar viral post where viewers were equally about whether or not her ‘cheating’ expose was real or staged. Just like that, we’ll have to wait and see if anything further comes from this.

TikToker messages husbands of women who leave her hate comments – Dexerto
TikToker messages husbands of women who leave her hate comments TIKTOK: roxystylezz26A TikToker left viewers divided after messaging the husbands and boyfriends of women who left her hate comments in viral video. In a series of viral videos, the TikToker and OnlyFans creator revealed that she was DMing the husbands and boyfriends of women who send her hate, to test their loyalty. “I’m coming for your husbands,” reads the caption over Roxy Stylez’s first revenge video, which has gone viral with almost 5 million views. “I’m gonna message some girls’ husbands, and I’m going to show you their responses,” she says in the video, while sounding very excited. “All you women who thought it was such a good idea to comment on my video nasty things, this goes out to you.” She then shows the accounts of four women who she says left her “mean” comments, and records herself messaging their husbands and boyfriends on Instagram to test their loyalty, saying she bets one of the four will respond. Viewers divided over TikToker’s revenge on haters Many TikTok users praised the OnlyFans model for getting justice on haters. “This is a level of petty that I can fully support,” one user encouraged. “This the definition of waking up and choosing violence… I’m here for it,” someone else wrote. Tana Mongeau even commented: “This is hilarious.” Others, however, were less than impressed with Roxy’s idea of revenge. “Translation: I’m not happy so I’ll do my best to make you unhappy,” one user wrote. “If you put all that energy into something positive, you might feel better about yourself. Try it, it works!” another one added. In an updated video, Roxy shared the responses she received from messaging the four men. She revealed that the first guy she messaged deleted his Instagram account, but she’s sure that his wife deleted it for him. The second guy she messaged didn’t respond. But she claims that two out of the four men responded in a flirtatious way. One guy told her that “there’s an account using your pics,” and while she was confused at first, it made sense when he sent her a picture of space and wrote: “because you’re out of this world.” The other one messaged her saying: “honestly, your looks got my attention, but after I regained focus, holy f**k, you are hilarious too.” “Ladies, I don’t want your f*cking man, but if you’re mean to me, I’ll show you I can have them,” Roxy clarified in her video. In a third video, the TikToker says one of the women whose boyfriend responded changed her and her boyfriend’s usernames “to make it look like he didn’t respond to me.” She further clarifies she is not at all interested in the “trash” men she is messaging, and just wants to show that people don’t get to be a “bully without receiving some consequences.”

TikToker Markell Washington defends Charli D’Amelio amid dance credit backlash – Dexerto
TikToker Markell Washington defends Charli D’Amelio amid dance credit backlash Instagram: Markell Washington/Charli D’AmelioPopular TikToker Markell Washington jumped to the defense of Charli D’Amelio after she’s come under more fire for apparently not crediting other TikTok dancers for their moves. Charli D’Amelio is by far TikTok’s most popular creator, but her huge following also means she’s constantly under the microscope for her posts and actions. In recent months, she’s come under fire from different people for apparently not giving credit to creators for their dance trends, with some claiming that she’s passing them off as her own. She’s not alone in being criticized for this – Addison Rae was slammed for using dance moves on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that originated from black creators. However, Charli has received some backing. Popular TikToker Markell Washington – who has over 7 million followers on the app and has collaborated with Charli before – hit back at people claiming she doesn’t give credit. “People want to keep calling this girl out for not giving credit when credit is due, guys, check your receipts, that was so long,” he said, showing that Charli has given credit plenty of times before, even going back to last year. “I feel like people are just coming for her just because she has the biggest following on the platform,” he added. “Let’s be real, if someone had 300,000 followers didn’t give somebody dance credits, none of us would come for their life.” The TikToker added that people don’t keep that same energy for everyone. “If we’re going to go after people, we got to make sure we hold everyone accountable, no matter their status or number that comes after their name.” Charli has not responded to the criticism herself, but she clearly has people who have her back on it, even if that won’t stop the masses from taking shots at her.

TikToker Mattia doxed by Nicki Minaj fans after “fat-shaming” her baby – Dexerto
TikToker Mattia doxed by Nicki Minaj fans after “fat-shaming” her baby Instagram: @nickiminaj, @mattiapolibioRap legend Nicki Minaj has finally started posting pictures of her baby boy, affectionately referred to as “Papa Bear” — but one TikToker’s snide comment about the child’s appearance has earned him incredible backlash online. Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty revealed their child to the world on January 2 in a series of adorable Instagram photos that quickly went viral across the net. Giving no name to the public just yet, Minaj referred to her baby boy as “Papa Bear.” “Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on,” she wrote. “Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there. Big hugs to all the women who have been pregnant during this challenging time.” View this post on Instagram Despite the wholesome nature of Minaj’s post, many critics and trolls have been bashing the child’s appearance online. TikTok star Mattia Polibio is one of these critics, who boasts over 5.6 followers for his viral comedy sketches and dance videos. In a post on his private Instagram account, Mattia appeared to make fun of Minaj’s baby, posting a photo of the child with the caption: “FAT A** BABY! @nickiminaj b***h!!” Unsurprisingly, Mattia’s post was instantly met with outrage, with many users claiming that he was effectively “fat-shaming” an infant. “This is not it… what is he doing body shaming a literal BABY,” one user wrote. “That baby’s chain is probably worth Mattia’s whole career,” another joked. “Pipe down.” Still, others were so upset over the post that they actually leaked Mattia’s personal information, including his address, phone type, and his parents’ phone numbers. View this post on Instagram However, this development has been met with some dissent among Nicki’s fanbase, with some arguing that fans went “too far” by sharing his parents’ information rather than just his own. This isn’t the first time an influencer has been doxed this month; Minecraft YouTuber ‘Dream’ was also victimized by an overzealous fan after merely sharing a photo of his kitchen, leading to a heated debate among his viewers as to respecting his privacy. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1345177088052002817?s=20 While it’s absolutely never okay to leak someone’s personal information, it goes without saying that Mattia might think twice about poking the Barbz’ hornet nest in the future.

TikToker Malu Trevejo responds to backlash after old video resurfaces Instagram: malutrevejoTikToker and singer Malu Trevejo has responded to backlash over reportedly saying slurs, as well as over a video that resurfaced in which she tells a story about how she kissed her cousin when she was younger. 18-year-old Malu Trevejo is a Cuban-born singer who has developed a huge following on social media. On Instagram, she has 9.1 million followers, and on TikTok, she has an even bigger 12.3 million followers. While she has a huge number of fans, she is not immune to controversy, and the influencer ended up addressing several situations all at once after criticism began to build. One of the main sources of the criticism was a video of her that resurfaced, in which she tells her followers about the time she kissed her cousin as a child. “I grabbed him, right,” she said, “he was scared. He was scared as f**k. I grabbed him. I took him to my closet. I locked the door of the closet, and I started giving him kisses.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1358174998809038848 Following that, she describes how she went to tell her mom about the kiss, and the clip ends with her saying her cousin was crying, and that: “I r*ped him.” The context of the story was unclear, but people were quick to demand answers from Malu. She replied on her Instagram story by saying: “I kissed my little cousin when he was a baby and I was a baby too. I was probably five like?” She continued by saying:”people [are] so weird, I can’t even tell stories without MFs trying to make such a big deal like? You’ve never made stupid things as a kid? That’s what kids do when they kids. Stupid things.” On an Instagram live, Malu also addressed criticism over her reportedly saying the R-word, claiming that she’s, “not disrespecting anybody,” and using rapper Pop Smoke as an example of someone who said it in his songs. View this post on Instagram In response to people calling her a ‘racist,’ the social media star said, “I ain’t f***king racist. My dad is black. One of my boyfriends, the main one, the one I actually fell in love with? Black,” adding “dude, your comment is irrelevant.” View this post on Instagram Malu clearly didn’t have time for people calling her out, but many were disappointed with the nature of her response. It remains to be seen if she’ll address the situation further, especially after coming under more backlash.

TikToker Marc Winski reveals he was detained by TSA because of his stutter – Dexerto
TikToker Marc Winski reveals he was detained by TSA because of his stutter TikTok: MikeWinski/Unsplash: @eyestetixTikToker Marc Winski revealed that he was detained by the Transport Security Administration at an airport because of his stutter. Millions of people around the world suffer from some sort of speech impediment, whether it be a lisp, slur, or in Marc Winski’s case — a stutter. As explained by the National Stuttering Association, stuttering is a speech impediment that involves disruptions, also called disfluencies, in a person’s speech. For example, a person with a stutter may repeat the ‘d’ in ‘dog’ multiple times. To those who are unaware of its existence, the stutterer may be confused for someone who is nervous, as Marc Winski found out when he was detained by the TSA while traveling with his wife. Marc Winski detained because of his stutter “I got detained by TSA at the airport because of stuttering,” Marc explained. He then went on to describe the event, saying he was heading through TSA check-in when the gate attendant asked where he was heading. “I’m going to Florida,” Winski replied. The employee didn’t seem to buy it, mentioning that Winski seemed nervous. The TikToker added, “No, I just stutter sometimes.” At this point, he was detained by the TSA agent for an “extra pat-down.” Marc then asked his viewers if they believed it was discrimination. As his video gained traction, hundreds of people echoed the same answers — they believe it is. (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) The writer of this article is a person with a stutter, and has been in very similar situations with law enforcement in the past. He took the experience as a way to educate himself on how security and other branches of law enforcement should handle situations like this. Long story short, this event that is likely going to stick with Marc for the rest of his life probably wouldn’t have even happened if the TSA agent had used their proper training. TSA Agents are trained to spot specific behavioral indicators, and having an obvious speech impediment isn’t one of them.

TikToker Malu Trevejo hits back at claims Vinnie Hacker “rejected” her – Dexerto
TikToker Malu Trevejo hits back at claims Vinnie Hacker “rejected” her Instagram: Malu Trevejo/Vinnie HackerAfter sharing some very suggestive TikToks directed towards Hype House’s Vinnie Hacker, social media personality Malu Trevejo has rebuked claims by fans that the TikTok star rejected her advances. Malu Trevejo hasn’t had an easy time in her love life as of late. After being publicly caught kissing engaged boxer Ryan Garcia back in October, she became embroiled in a vicious war of words with his ex-fiance Drea Celine, who accused Trevejo of continuing to send “thirst traps” to Garcia even after she was caught kissing him. Now, it seems like Trevejo, 18, has turned her attention towards fellow TikTok star Vinnie Hacker, who is also 18. However, in a series of cryptic TikToks and so called “thirst traps,” it would appear that despite Trevejo’s attraction, it just wasn’t meant to be for the pair. However, Trevejo appeared determined to show Hacker what he was missing in a series of TikToks, and this didn’t go unnoticed by her fans. View this post on Instagram When one fan commented that Hacker had really “lost one” by rejecting Trevejo, drama page TikTok Room confirmed that Malu had liked their comment. She also liked a comment by a fan on the same video that, in a thinly-veiled reference to Vinnie, said: “Every time Malu gets rejected she gets glowed up”. Read More: Bryce Hall confronts creepy stalker – Trevejo followed this up by posting a second, even more suggestive TikTok, which she captioned: “He’s missing out but it’s ok, not too many could handle.” Yet, she quickly deleted the video. View this post on Instagram Malu then appeared to deny claims that she was rejected by Hacker by revealing in a post on her Instagram story that he was the one who messaged her first. The post said: “Can’t believe I got ‘rejected’ by someone who DM’d me first saying ‘love me’ LOL.” While Hacker himself hasn’t yet commented publicly on the situation, it appears that now, unfortunately, the love story for these two is over before it ever really began.

TikToker makes fiance sign contract to guarantee he never cheats: “New level of crazy” TikTok, salamiiqueenA TikToker has gone viral after making her fiance sign a contract guaranteeing he will never cheat in their relationship, with some heavy financial repercussions. Chaylene Martinez, known on TikTok by the username SalamiiQueen, has gone viral after confirming her partner has signed a now-notarized document promising to never cheat. It states that if he was to ever cheat, he would assume her future living costs for life. While she has refused to share a PDF of the file on privacy grounds, Martinez has spoken openly about the arrangement – which she describes as a romantic gesture. TikToker inks legal document preventing partner from cheating The clip was uploaded to her TikTok account on August 12. Despite having just 20,000 followers, a series of viral videos about this situation have put her likes at 4 million.

TikToker Malu Trevejo flees home to escape drugs & threats from family – Dexerto
TikToker Malu Trevejo flees home to escape drugs & threats from family YouTube: Malu Trevejo[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]Malu Trevejo is a popular face on TikTok, where she boasts well over 8 million followers — but her fanbase is growing concerned after she revealed some serious family issues in a few social media posts. 17-year-old Trevejo is a budding internet star and singer. Born in Cuba, raised in Spain, and currently based out of Miami, Florida, the teenage social media mogul has garnered quite the impressive online following, but fans are growing fearful for her safety. While Trevejo has been posting concerning videos to Instagram for some time now, it seems that her personal situation has grown quite urgent, as the TikToker revealed she has allegedly run away from home. Her reasons for fleeing are both numerous and shocking for supporters: The singer claims that her father is addicted to drugs and her mother is an alcoholic, as told in an emotional Instagram Live directly after a confrontation with her mom over the issue. In the stream, Trevejo admitted to smoking marijuana to deal with the constant stress at her house, and even accused her mother of enabling her father’s drug habit, as well as using her social media fame for money. However, Trevejo also claimed that she doesn’t want to emancipate herself for fear that her mother will go to jail, and has instead seemingly run away from home. That’s not all; the TikToker even admitted that she has received threats from her mother’s boyfriend, alleging that she possesses voicemails of him saying such things as, “Somebody’s gonna pay for this,” and “You’d better watch yourself.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CFufIYMHND-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “She wasn’t feeding me food for like, two or three weeks on purpose,” she said of her mother. “Since I didn’t have no control over my credit cards, nothing, I wasn’t gonna be able to eat nothing. And there was nothing in the house, ‘cause she would leave the house and leave me there alone.” “Crazy how people try manipulating you,” she wrote in an additional Instagram post, likely a follow-up to another incident where her mother had allegedly tried to manipulate her into staying home by sending photos of herself crying. Fans are coming out in support for Trevejo and offering their sympathies for a concerning situation that is continuing to unfold online for one of TikTok’s burgeoning young personalities.

TikToker Mahek Bukhari found guilty of murder following fatal car chase – Dexerto
TikToker Mahek Bukhari found guilty of murder following fatal car chase Leicestershire Police / Instagram: maybvlogsTikToker Mahek Bukhari has been found guilty of murder after she and her mother — alongside several others — rammed a car off the road, resulting in the death of two men. Popular TikToker Mahek Bukhari was involved in a road traffic incident on February 11, 2022, that resulted in the deaths of two men; Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, both 21. A murder investigation was launched and eight people were arrested and charged. Mahek’s fellow defendants included her mother, Ansreen Bukhari, 45, Raees Jamal, 21, Rekan Karwan, 28, Sanaf Gulamustafa, 23, Ameer Jamal, 28, Natasha Akhtar, 21, and Mohammed Patel. Four have now been found guilty of murder after it was discovered the high-speed chase took place over a long-running affair that went sour between Ansreen and Saqib. Saqib had been threatening to expose the affair to Ansreen’s husband and son using sexually explicit material after she had ended their three-year relationship a month prior. The prosecution alleged Saqib was then “lured” to a car park to be “jumped” by Mahek’s associates in an attempt to stop the blackmailing. Saqib’s friend did not know the defendants and was only driving the vehicle as a “favor” to his childhood friend. Saqib and his friend drove off with two cars carrying the eight defendants in pursuit. The chase reached speeds of up to 100mph before the victim’s car was rammed off the road and engulfed in flames. The jury heard a panicked phone call Saqib made to 999 moments before the crash in which he said, “I’m being followed by two vehicles… they’ve got balaclavas on… They’re trying to kill me, I’m going to die…” The victims’ vehicle then hit a central reservation barrier and a tree while doing 80mlh, causing the car to be “split into two.” “This was a callous and cold-blooded attack which ultimately cost two men their lives,” said Mark Parish from the East Midlands major investigations unit. “None of the defendants made any attempt to help the victims or to call for help. Instead, they drove on and then even drove back past the collision site.” A trial at Leicester Crown Court saw Mahek, Ansreen, Raees, and Rekan convicted of murder. Sanaf, Ameer, and Natasha were found not guilty of murder but were convicted of manslaughter, and Mohammed Patel was found not guilty of murder or manslaughter. Mahek sobbed as the verdict was delivered after more than 28 hours of deliberations and a three-month trial. The defendants will be sentenced on 1 September, with Mahek facing life in jail.

In the video, Scott County Judge John Telleen detailed that Madison Russo had admitted to using other patients’ stories as her own, slamming her for engaging in the “lengthy course of deceit.” The judge said: “Through this scheme, you deceived your friends, your family, your community, other cancer victims, charities and strangers who were motivated by your supposedly tragic story to donate to help support you.” Madison Russo also made a comment during the sentencing, explaining why she decided to do the year-long scam in the first place. “A lot of people have made speculation as to why I did this and how somebody who looked like they had everything together could have such a mess,” she said. “I didn’t do this for money or greed. I didn’t do this for attention. I did this as an attempt to get my family back together.” “I fully acknowledge what I did was wrong. And I’m incredibly sorry,” Russo added. “If there was anything I could do to take it back, I would. The reality is, I can’t.” The TikToker’s sentence includes 100 hours of community service, and her $39,000 fine has been paid.

TikToker Madison Russo arrested for “scamming” $37,000 with fake cancer diagnosis – Dexerto
TikToker Madison Russo arrested for “scamming” $37,000 with fake cancer diagnosis Facebook: Madison Russo / GoFundMeTikToker Madison Russo was arrested and charged with first-degree theft, after allegedly scamming $37,000 in donations pretending she had cancer. The 19-year-old, who lives in Iowa, lied on TikTok and GoFundMe about battling pancreatic cancer and having a tumor “the size of a football,” police say. On January 23, Madison ‘Maddie’ Russo was arrested on a first-degree theft charge, a felony punishable in Iowa by up to 10 years in prison. Police stated that the TikToker faked having “Stage 2 pancreatic cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and a tumor the size of a football that wrapped around her spine.” Russo documented her apparently fake cancer battle on TikTok and on a GoFundMe page, where she had raised $37,303 from 439 unsuspecting donors, officials said. According to the police, the accused con artist stole photos of cancer patients posted on social media, and shared them as her own. However, on January 11, medical professionals reported noticing “life-threatening inaccuracies” in the way she was using medical equipment in posed photographs and videos. When police raided her apartment, they seized a fake wig, an IV pole with a feeding pump filled with cotton balls, medical supplies in a relative’s name, and cash, court records show. GoFundMe addressed the fundraiser in a statement to McClatchy News, saying the site has “a zero tolerance policy of misuse of our platform and cooperate with law enforcement investigations of those accused of wrongdoing.” Everyone who has donated to her fundraiser has been reimbursed, and the 19-year-old has been banned from GoFundMe. One donor told KWQC she was “shocked” when she learned about the teenager’s arrest. Russo was released from the Scott County Jail, after a $10,000 cash bond was posted on her behalf and is waiting to appear in a trial. She will be arraigned on March 2.

TikToker loses job at pet food company after exposing health & safety concerns – Dexerto
TikToker loses job at pet food company after exposing health & safety concerns TikTok: JamesSalvinski/Unsplash: EyestetixA TikToker has lost his job after exposing health & safety concerns within the pet food company he worked for in a series of viral videos. TikTok’s popularity has helped users find jobs over the recent years, but not every work-related story is quite as positive. From one user getting fired after posting videos during a meeting, to another losing her job for revealing her salary on TikTok, many have gotten fired after their videos went viral on the app. TikToker James Salvinski’s story is a little different, however, as he knew the potential ramifications after posting his first-ever video. TikToker loses job after exposing pet food company’s health concerns On October 19, James uploaded a video explaining that the pet food company he works for is making him change the expiration dates on a box of products. “This is my first TikTok video and unfortunately, I have to make it… What I’m forced to do, as you see in front of me here are a bunch of [expiration date] tags,” he explained. “And, I have to change them so they’re no longer expired and we can sell them. “These are for your pets that you love with all your heart. I have two dogs and I would not give these products to my [dogs]. They say they’re fine, but there’s a reason there are dates on them as there are animal fats in the product.” In a second video, he showed another product from the same company that he was checking for bugs and found feces among other things inside the packaging. Just a day after the first video went viral, James revealed in a comment that he was fired from the company — and that he would do anything to keep them safe. TikTokers from around the world shared their thoughts about his videos, thanking him for looking out for the safety of their pets. One replied: “I am sorry you got fired for doing the right thing. You stood up for innocent animals. Good job!” While another said: “A man after my own heart!! Thank you for being an advocate for our fur babies!!” “You’re a good man,” a third user replied.

TikToker made 20 ft tall cutout of Dream’s face within hours of viral YouTube reveal – Dexerto
TikToker made 20 ft tall cutout of Dream’s face within hours of viral YouTube reveal YouTube: Dream / TikTok: tobynjacobsOne crafty TikToker celebrated Dream’s viral face reveal in a big way by creating a 20 foot tall cardboard cutout of the Minecraft star within hours of his video getting uploaded. Dream is one of the most prominent Minecraft content creators on the internet, and he finally showed his face to the world on October 2. The YouTuber hid his appearance from the internet throughout his career, covering his face with a mask in photos and using digital artwork to represent himself online. With millions of fans across the net, his official face reveal instantly went viral — and one person decided to make the moment even bigger than it already was. TikToker makes massive cardboard cutout of Dream 6 hours after face reveal TikToker Tobyn Jacobs is a content creator who specializes in making enormous cardboard cutouts, usually for celebrities and anime characters. The latest personality to get the cardboard treatment was Dream — and Jacobs carried out his task in record time. According to the TikToker, he created the massive structure in about six hours, using 218 pages of paper to achieve the giant cutout. “Working this fast was actually fun,” Jacobs said of the feat. “Usually I can hate it if there’s too much pressure, but I’ve been in a rut, so it came out strong [in] my desire to make cutouts.” Jacobs’ videos documenting the process have garnered over five million views collectively, with commenters both impressed and shocked by the massive creation. “It looks like it would chase you through a building on Gary’s mod,” one commenter joked. “It ain’t even been a day,” another said. “Where did all the printer ink go?” another quipped. Dream’s face reveal was certainly a big moment in internet history — but he might take over the net again if he collabs with MrBeast, who asked him to feature in a few of his videos.

TikToker loses it after finding a giant centipede in brand-new robot vacuum – Dexerto
TikToker loses it after finding a giant centipede in brand-new robot vacuum TikTok: milesabovetechAfter opening his new robot vacuum, a man was shocked to find a giant centipede inside. TikToker Miles is best known for his unboxing and reviews of new technological gadgets. He has a following of almost 1M and continues to gain fans from his helpful TikTok videos. Though he’s never quite had an issue with his new tech devices, he was recently shocked when he found a living creature in his new robot vacuum. After realizing what was crawling just inches before him, Miles took to TikTok to share his findings. Consequently, viewers were left just as shaken. TikToker loses sight of centipede after finding it: “I almost s—t myself!” Miles was about to review his brand-new robot vacuum when he noticed something weird with the device. So, he chose to look closer, not quite realizing what was wrong yet. He then took apart the vacuum, lifting a fabric-like piece — lo and behold, to Miles’ surprise, he found a large centipede living in a circular compartment covered by the fabric. The centipede then crawled on Miles’ hands, as he explained in his viral TikTok video, “I literally almost s—t myself!” He continued, “When it first, like, crawled on my hand, I literally threw it.” Miles used a pair of kitchen tongs to capture the centipede roaming around his home. Though initially unaware of where the little creature was, Miles finally found it under a rug. He continued to explain the adrenaline-ridden moment, saying that the centipede began “gnawing” on the tongs that Miles had snagged it with. Still in shock, he placed the bug, which was as long as Miles’ cell phone, in a plastic container. Though he revered the centipede as “The scariest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Miles won the battle in the end, having survived long enough to share his story on TikTok. Those who saw Miles’ shocking experience took to his comments to update the TikToker on what type of centipede it may have been, with someone confirming that it was a “Giant Redheaded Centipede.” One viewer commented to warn Miles on what could happen if the centipede bit him, saying, “You’re lucky it did not bite because let me tell you, their bite is much worse than their looks.” Others who saw his TikTok video shared similar experiences, saying, “It has happened to me before, but the main problem is — there are usually a couple of them and at least a second one.” As well as “This happened to me yesterday but with a roach. It landed on me and I tried to kill it but it escaped and I searched my room for an hour and still couldn’t find it.” Though Miles had a freakish and shocking experience unboxing his new robot vacuum, he’ll have to put his fear aside for future reviews, as his livelihood depends on his honest and helpful tech support.

TikToker loses 66lbs with chicken tender diet and the recipe has gone viral – Dexerto
TikToker loses 66lbs with chicken tender diet and the recipe has gone viral TikTok / mrbyrnesA TikTok chicken tender recipe has gone viral on the platform after being dubbed a “healthy” alternative to fast food brands, as part of a user’s 66 pound weight loss diet. The food TikTok scene is among the most popular on the internet, providing everybody with a love for cooking or more generally eating, a place to learn. Quite often you will see recipes taking over the internet, ranging from healthy snacks to indulgent desserts. This June, an Irish TikTok user called mrbyrnes has been dominating the algorithm, raking in hundreds of thousands of responses with their low-calorie, high protein, alternatives to comfort food. TikTok chicken tenders diet goes viral On June 25, the content creator rolled out a new video for their ‘low cal healthy chicken tenders’. He says was a key component of the diet that saw him lose over 60 pounds, leaving people around the world intrigued about the recipe. The TikToker’s body transformation can be seen at the start of the clip, which has raked in over 1.4 million likes at the time of writing. For three chicken strips, they pack 47 grams of protein and 350 calories. To make them, he adds 350g of chicken to a bowl, adds hot sauce, lots of seasoning, and uses 65g of corn flakes for the breading. Is it really healthy? The snack itself is said to include 350 calories per batch of three. Using a fast food comparison from the USDA, KFC chicken strips are said to contain 129 calories and 13 grams of protein per piece, which means the TikToker’s substitute shaves just 13 calories off the stuff you would get from Kentucky. As for TGI Fridays Chicken Fingers, they pack 106 calories per piece, at just nine grams of protein. Read More: What does ISTG mean on TikTok? – Therefore, if you’re looking for a high-protein diet, the TikToker’s are certainly up there. These are oven-baked, too – better than fried options – yet it’s still not the healthiest thing you can choose to eat. While there may be question marks over whether they’re healthy (as not many fried foods are), it’s not stopped this video from taking off on the platform. It certainly won’t be the last, either.

TikToker loses all her eyelashes in painful makeup mishap – Dexerto
TikToker loses all her eyelashes in painful makeup mishap Unsplash.com: Tima Miroshnichenko / TikTok: merrickhbAn unfortunate TikToker shared the shocking moment she ripped out most of the eyelashes on her right eye after a simple makeup tool went awry. TikTok is a home to viral content of all kinds. From popular dances to wild challenges, life hacks, and more, there’s something for everyone on the video-sharing app. That being said, there are definitely some clips circling TikTok that give viewers the heebie-jeebies. For instance, one woman caught the moment she accidentally ripped off her own eyelashes while doing her makeup… and viewers are cringing in empathy for the now eyelash-less TikToker. Creator ‘Merrick Bourgeois’ was finishing up her makeup look when something horrible happened. Shocked TikToker rips out eyelashes with eyelash curler Apparently, the TikToker went to fix her eyelashes with an eyelash curler — a device that squeezes a person’s eyelashes between two padded arms to achieve a curled, wide-eyed look. Unfortunately, the curler ended up ripping out most of the TikToker’s eyelashes, leaving her completely shocked. Merrick gave viewers a good look at the eyelash curler, which had a whole row of eyelashes stuck to the top arm. She then switched to her phone’s front camera, revealing that the top of her right eye was completely bereft of any eyelashes. “Send HELP,” she captioned the video. “I’m crying, oh my god.” Commenters can’t help but sympathize with the unfortunate TikToker, with some theorizing that she may have applied mascara before using the curler, causing her lashes to stick to the tool. “That’s the exact reason I curl my lashes BEFORE mascara,” one user wrote. “And that’s on always cleaning before every use,” another advised. “Bro, I will never complain about losing like 4 eyelashes in mine, wtf,” another said. “I would immediately pass away,” a viewer joked. Merrick explained the situation in a follow-up video, claiming that her hand had actually slipped while using the curler, subsequently ripping out her eyelashes. Yeowch! At least Merrick’s accident has given a good lesson for makeup-uses on the internet. And luckily for her, eyelashes do grow back, although it takes about six weeks or even longer in some cases. This is just the latest accident to go viral on TikTok after one user’s attempt at scaring city workers in a costume went wrong in the most hilarious way possible.

TikToker locks delivery driver in gates for refusing to give parcel in viral video – Dexerto
TikToker locks delivery driver in gates for refusing to give parcel in viral video TIKTOK: ryansm6A delivery driver had to climb over gates after a TikToker trapped him in her driveway for refusing to hand over her parcel. In a viral TikTok video with 1.9 million views, the DPD driver was seen trying to escape the property of a furious customer who locked him in and demanded he hand her a parcel. The delivery driver tried to climb a wooden fence using a dumpster, but when he realized the fence leads onto another back garden, he took the garbage can over to the property’s metal gates and proceeded to climb them instead. During the video, the woman behind the camera is heard saying: “I’m never going to get my phone… you’re not going to let me see the phone no?” She then tried to reach to take the parcel out of his pocket, but the driver told her: “Hey, hey hey. Get the f**k away from here.” He then let her know that he’s fine with her filming the whole thing, even though she accused him of “stealing” her phone. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load below. TikTok reacts to delivery driver trapped in driveway Some people were divided as to who was in the wrong, as there seems to be context missing. “There’s definitely more to this than she wants us to know. These parcels have strict instructions for delivery drivers,” one user commented. “Something sus here,” another wrote, while a third said, “Half a story. Where’s the first part?” The vast majority, however, slammed the customer for locking in the delivery driver. “You’ve just committed a crime. Not him,” one commented. “She’s locked him in! Omg. Who does she think she is?” another wrote. “Looks like she’s locked him he’s trying to get away.. so she’s the one in wrong from the look of it,” someone else shared. Others suggested the TikToker did not have the correct ID or the wrong name on her passport, which is why she could have been refused delivery.

TikToker Loren Gray ecstatic after Olympics uses her song “Queen” – Dexerto
TikToker Loren Gray ecstatic after Olympics uses her song “Queen” Instagram: Loren GrayIn a rare mark of success, TikTok star Loren Gray was stoked to find out that her hit single “Queen” has been used by the official Olympics website. Loren Gray is a massive TikTok star who made her name on the platform long before Charli D’Amelio, back when the app was called muscial.ly. The 18-year-old was the most followed creator on the app for a long while, before being surpassed by Charli in March 2020. She was then gradually overtaken by huge names like Addison Rae, Bella Poarch, and Zach King. However, she still remains the 7th most followed creator at the time of writing with more than 51 million followers, and she has a massive 2.8 billion likes across all her videos. In addition to her popular short videos, Loren has more than 21 million followers on Instagram and more than 3 million subscribers on YouTube where she posts frequent vlogs. That’s just in addition to her burgeoning music career which has the internet personality toeing the line between social media star and household name. Understandably, Loren was incredibly emotional when she found out her song “Queen,” her third single released in 2018, had been used in a video by none other than the official Olympics channel. Loren tweeted, “The Olympics actually just used my song to showcase an Olympic gold medalist figure skater & her incredible story. I’m gonna go cry now.” the olympics actually just used my song to showcase an olympic gold medalist figure skater & her incredible story. i’m gonna go cry now. pic.twitter.com/zAuHsLCzub — Loren Gray (@iamlorengray) March 9, 2021 The video, displayed on the official website for the game, celebrates German figure ice-skater and gold-medallist Aljona Savchenko as part of a global campaign celebrating incredible female athletes as part of International Women’s Day. Loren’s feminist anthem certainly fits perfectly alongside clips of Savchenko giving it her all. For Loren, the use of her song by the Olympics gives her global, mainstream recognition. Despite their many millions of followers, this is still a huge achievement for any online creator. Many TikTokers are now following in Loren’s steps, carving out their own music careers and collaborating with massive artists such as Jason Derulo, Blackbear, and Machine Gun Kelly to achieve notoriety outside of social media alone.

TikToker left “nauseous” after her married uncle liked her on Tinder – Dexerto
TikToker left “nauseous” after her married uncle liked her on Tinder Tinder/TikTok: @breakingbadbiddiesTinder has its share of horror stories to be sure but this one might take the cake. A TikToker has gone viral after revealing her married uncle sent some signals on the app. Tinder offers a special brand of nightmare fuel and it’s not the financial horror of a $499-a-month subscription service. It’s not even the gods-forsaken concept of whatever the hell Roblox Tinder is supposed to be. In the case of poor TikTok user breakingbadbiddies, her nightmare began when a married family member decided to like her Tinder profile. In a viral slideshow with nearly 70,000 likes, she explained the story. Click here to see the TikTok in full. In some text overlay, breakingbadbiddies explains that she joined Tinder at the suggestion of some friends, to help her get over a bad breakup. The next slide reveals she has a whole new trauma to deal with. The next slide cuts to an image of her married uncle’s Tinder profile clearly showing that he had indeed swiped right. “That’s my literal grandpa,” she said in a text overlay addressing the second man in the censored image. Users in the comments were understandably horrified. “I can’t even put into words how odd this would make men feel,” one said. “I woke up nauseous this morning,” breakingbadbiddies replied. “I want to think he did it to scare you or show you that he saw you,” one user said trying to justify the weirdness of it all. “Problem is, he’s still married and on this app,” another replied. Usually, you get the ick after your first Tinder rendezvous but this is an entirely different kind of gross. Here’s hoping for a speedy mental health recovery for poor breakingbadbiddies after some time to process. And some therapy maybe.

TikToker Blake Rosier, found himself as the only guest on a cruise ship, much to his own bafflement. With most cruise ships able to take onboard a capacity of approximately 3,000 guests, Rosier’s experience is definitely an unusual one. “I don’t know how this happened exactly,” he said, in a now-viral video posted to TikTok ten months ago. While it’s unclear which cruise liner he traveled with, Rosier certainly made the most of the situation. “They even have a movie playing for just me,” he said in the TikTok, pointing out a large cinema screen on deck. “All the shows are still going, the pools are open. [It’s] literally just me here.” Rosier seemingly indulged in the different services provided, posting another video to YouTube that showed him wandering through the ship’s barren dining hall. With only the crew for company, Rosier was recognized by all staff — who stood waiting patiently on his every need. “It’s truly insane and it’s been amazing,” Rosier said about the experience. “That’s the only appealing cruise I’ve ever seen,” One person commented on the TikTok. Others found the situation a little more terrifying: “Waiting on the dateline story about a guy who never made it back from [a] cruise.” For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

TikToker left in tears as man follows her during run to ask for phone number TIKTOK: LUCY.HOLZA TikToker was left in tears after a man started chasing her during her run to ask for her number. Lucy Holz shared a tearful video on TikTok, describing the terrifying moment, after she managed to escape the man. She claimed that the stranger followed her during her run, and started chasing her, before asking for her number. “I just had quite a scary experience on my run” she said in the video, as she wiped her tears. “I was just going for a run on a public trail, I’d just started, and I ran past this guy, and he looked at me a bit weird. I didn’t think anything of it, then he overtakes me and stops right in front of me. He’s also not wearing running clothes at all, just regular street clothes.” She continued: “As he runs past me, he looks at me again, and I think this is a little bit weird, I’m just going to keep an eye on him. It’s the middle of the day, I’ve passed heaps of other people. He started walking right in front of me, so I overtake him again because I’m running.” As Holz started running, the man would then run after her to ask for her phone number. “I don’t look at him at all, I say no, and keep going.” She said. “He falls back, but I reached the part of my run where I’d usually turn around and come back because I don’t know the neighborhood at all.” The TikToker said she couldn’t turn around because of the unknown man, so she kept running until she ended up at an unfamiliar location. She said she might call someone to pick her up, as she appeared shaken up from the incident. “It was really scary, and I’m so obviously not interested,” she said, “I’m running and wearing headphones. What a f**king piece of sh*t to come and do that, and ruin my run.” Viewers react to TikToker’s terrifying ordeal Many women, who have experienced similar harassment, commented on Holz’s video. “Call the police! Something similar happened to me…they charged him and he’s being sentenced this month,” one viewer shared. “It’s so scary when this happens! And I know they know it freaks us out. I’m so sorry this happened to you,” another viewer commented. “For all you people that have never experienced this: it’s legit scary as hell!” someone else added. The incident is undoubtedly familiar to many women, as according to Runner’s World, 60% of women surveyed said they have been harassed while running. Lately, many women have shared their harassment stories on the social media app. Last month, a TikToker was left in tears after detailing her “terrifying” harassment working at a gas station.

AMC did respond to deny that there is an infestation at the AMC Empire 25 near Times Square. “Any time we receive a guest report about this topic at this location, the seat in question and several surrounding seats are disassembled to inspect for any sign of evidence,” a company spokesperson said. “If evidence is found, the affected area is closed and treated as soon as possible. In some cases, including as recently as last week, the third-party expert uses a canine inspection to ensure that all previously identified activity has been eliminated,” they said.

TikToker Lauren Kettering apologizes after “disrespectful” video – Dexerto
TikToker Lauren Kettering apologizes after “disrespectful” video Instagram: Lauren KetteringTikTok star Lauren Kettering has made a lengthy apology after fans called her out for seemingly mocking tics in her latest upload. In a now-deleted TikTok with boyfriend Giovanny Valencia, Lauren can be seen lip-syncing before twitching and appearing to imitate tics. Tics are repeated sounds, movements or twitches a person’s body makes that are often involuntary, meaning that the person is unable to stop themselves from experiencing. They’re thought to occur due to changes in the part of the brain that controls movement. Involuntary tics are a common symptom of neurological disorders such as Tourette’s Syndrome. Consequently, a lot of fans took issue with Lauren appearing to make light of these tics considering how they relate to neurological disabilities. One TikTok user said: “I find this so disrespectful, my brother has tics and he can’t help them but here are influencers mocking them as if they’re something to joke about.” View this post on Instagram Meanwhile, over on Instagram, one fan admitted that the video “doesn’t feel right”, while another said: “How the actual ff is someone making fun of something a person cannot control? It’s literally a mental illness [sic].” Read More: Charli D’Amelio’s dad slams social media – In response to the criticism, Kettering quickly removed the video and posted a statement apologizing.

TikToker Lauren Kettering opens up about “sketchy” Not a Content House – Dexerto
TikToker Lauren Kettering opens up about “sketchy” Not a Content House YouTube: Jordyn JonesTikTok star Lauren Kettering, who, up until January this year, was part of now-disbanded content collective Not a Content House, has shed light on her experience in the House as part of Jordyn Jones’ podcast “What They Don’t Tell You.” When Kettering, along with fellow TikToker Madi Monroe, was suddenly unfollowed by Not a Content House on January 11, many suspected that there was bad blood between the TikTok stars and the content house. While both TikTokers at the time dispelled the rumors — with Lauren at the time saying that she just wanted to “do [her] own thing and [work] on a lot of projects” — it appears that now, amid allegations of misconduct against two managers of the House, Kettering, 16, is being more open about what really went down when she left. In response to Jones’ question, where she asked Lauren about “one thing they don’t tell you about being in a content house,” Kettering said: “They [the management] were very controlling. I didn’t make money in the House.” As alleged by several former members of Not a Content House, they were forced to do “house deliverables” by management, meaning that a lot of the money they earned went on utilities and rent. Shedding light on a seemingly common problem among TikTokers, Jordyn responded: “That actually happens with a lot of the Houses, you see people getting $30,000 brand deals while you get nothing, and everything is just getting taken from you.” Kettering continued to shed light on some of the allegations made against managers of the house, saying:”The management just lied about everything, and there is a lot of sketchy stuff we found out. I just feel like people need to really be careful with things like contracts.” Lauren also remarked that she got “no freedom” as a member of the House, recalling how she had to miss one of her best friends’ birthdays in order to travel and do a sweepstake. She also claimed that the house itself had an ant problem, and was often unhygienic: “The house was so messy and dirty, they couldn’t even get people to clean it good,” she said. Read More: Soggy Nugget TikTok: Scary chef goes viral – Kettering also recalled how management allegedly hired security guards to evict them from the house, claiming that the guards threatened her, Katie Sigmund and Monroe with violence if they didn’t leave.”We were all minors at the time,” she added. Despite the Centre for Disease Control temporarily banning tenant evictions due to the current health crisis, Lauren claimed in the podcast that she had to cut the trip to Anaheim short after getting a call informing her that all of her possessions were “in trash bags on the side of the road.” Fans were shocked to hear about the extent of what went down in Not a Content House. One fan on YouTube said: “I felt so bad for Lauren while watching this, she’s went through so much,” while another fan noted that “this goes to show that you shouldn’t judge people before you get to know who they are.”

TikToker Larray addresses backlash over Tony Lopez jab in diss track Instagram: LarrayTikTok star Larray has responded to criticism over his diss track ‘Canceled’ that called out several different YouTube and TikTok influencers, including Tony Lopez, Bryce Hall and Shane Dawson. 22-year old Lawrence Merrit, who is better known by his screen name Larray, is part of TikTok content creation collective the Hype House. Larray’s track went viral, and has just debuted at No.81 on BillBoard’s Top 100 chart. The track mentioned so many different people it’s almost impossible to count. The lyrics ranged from lighthearted insults like rapping that Bryce Hall has “smelly balls” and James Charles has a big forehead, to more serious allegations. Larray refers to the Shane Dawson cat scandal, and references the backlash Nikita Dragun received after she was recently accused of blackfishing. Jeffree Star is also mentioned briefly in one line where Larray accuses him of using a racial slur. Tony Lopez in particular is called out after allegations that he has been sending Snapchats to underage fans. However, Larray had to address backlash for his diss track in a post on TikTok. He said, “In my song, I made a few jokes and I stated a few facts and there’s a huge difference between the two and I’m going to explain them because a lot of you guys are confused.” Larray said that people had called him out for “normalizing child grooming by making jokes about it” in his diss track when he sings “Tony Lopez caught a case.” He emphasizes this part of the song was not a joke and is a fact “because we all witnessed it online.” He added that he should not have been criticized when “The entire TikTok community were memeing and joking about the Tony situation.” Larray added screenshots of other TikTokers making jokes about Tony Lopez and the allegations against him. He ended by saying “Don’t try to call out bigger creators for things that you would laugh at in private chats or with your friends”

TikToker Kyle Scheele admits viral Kum & Go meal stunt was actually staged TikTok: kylescheele / Wikimedia Commons: Shmeebster / Kum & GoTikTok star Kyle Scheele went viral after claiming he’d scored a deal with a gas station chain over a prank… but it turns out his “prank” was completely staged. Plenty of influencers and celebrities have scored their own signature meal deals with various fast food brands — just take a look at Charli D’Amelio’s Dunkin’ Donuts bev or Saweetie’s viral McDonald’s dinner. However, no influencers had bagged a deal with a gas station… until author, motivational speaker, and TikToker Kyle Scheele serendipitously partnered with Kum & Go due to what he claimed was a harmless prank. The “prank” saw the influencer create a cardboard cutout of himself advertising his very own ‘Kyle Scheele Meal’ at a local Kum & Go station. The cutout instantly became a viral hit, attracting enough visitors to form a line outside the establishment to take a selfie with the “fake” ad. Click here if TikTok fails to load.

Instead, he claimed that he was given free reign to do as he pleased, resulting in the viral cardboard cutout. “Kum & Go didn’t plan or orchestrate any of that,” he explained. “They just gave me permission to run wild.” “That was a ton of fun, but even though they didn’t plan it or orchestrate it, they did know about it, and in retrospect, I should have just been upfront and told you about it.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. The overall response to Scheele’s apology video has been a negative one; many fans are upset with the TikToker for representing his partnership with the gas station as a prank that paid off, with some accusing the star of “emotional manipulation.” Kum & Go’s director of brand marketing Matt Riezman also admitted to the plan in AdWeek’s article, leaving fans sad, confused, and angry over a seemingly wholesome influencer-brand interaction.

TikToker Kyle Scheele goes viral for fake gas station meal cutout – Dexerto
TikToker Kyle Scheele goes viral for fake gas station meal cutout Kum & Go/TikTok: KyleScheeleTikToker Kyle Sheele has gone viral after placing a cardboard cutout, advertising an idea for his own influencer meal, into a local Kum & Go gas station. While the short-form video app has provided countless dances, sounds, and other various trends, it also helps change the lives of creators in various other ways as well. In October 2020 we saw ‘Doggface’ receive a new truck when the juice company Ocean Spray noticed him after a video of him drinking their cranberry juice while skateboarding down the road went viral. Now, TikToker Kyle Scheele has gained popularity after posting a gigantic cardboard cutout of himself inside of a Kum & Go gas station advertising “The Kyle Scheele Meal” which quickly caught the eye of the company who decided it wasn’t a bad idea. The Kyle Scheele Meal In his first video regarding the prank, Scheele explained that he went into a local newly-built Kum & Go gas station and noticed a cardboard image that he wanted, so he asked if he could have it. Much to his amusement, Kyle learned that the store employees don’t have any control over things placed inside the store, so he immediately went home with the idea of creating his own cutout marketing something he’s always wanted—his own influencer meal. After the help of two friends, one being a photographer and the other conveniently owning a print shop, Kyle realized that he had accidentally made his image nine feet tall. However, he didn’t let that hold him back as he still went ahead with the plan to place it in the store.

In this video, he explained that thanks to his original video going viral with over 24 million views, he got the attention of the actual company who commented: “We won’t tell if you won’t.” Kyle uploaded a third video a few days later explaining that Red Bull joined the conversation and after a few calls back and forth with both companies, they noticed the increased foot traffic he created with his “prank” and officially gave him a meal—renaming it “The Kyle Scheele Meale.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load https://www.tiktok.com/@kylescheele/video/7032358670058966277?is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6996829777869768197 This prank-turned-partnership makes this TikToker one of the first to have their own influencer meal, joining the likes of J Balvin, BTS, and Mariah Carey who all have had collaborations with McDonald’s.

TikToker kicked out of store after working a full shift without being hired TikTok: ugh_madisonA TikToker has gone viral after she was kicked out of a Kroger’s store for pretending to be an employee after she was recognized by a real worker. Popular content creator Madison, known as ugh_madison on TikTok, has found fame for her series of videos in which she disguises herself as a retail worker and pretends to be an employee. So far, the content creator has worked “shifts” at the likes of Target, Walmart, and most recently, Kroger. However, Madison’s latest work prank took a turn after she was spotted and recognized by an actual employee. From then, the video went completely off the rails as Madison was approached by a manager and asked to leave. When pottering about the store, Madison was approached by a Kroger employee who held up her phone and showed Madison her Target video. The employee then asked the content created if that was her, accusations that Madison quickly denied. The employee then went to fetch her manager, who told Madison she had to leave as working at Kroger for free goes against labor laws. They then kicked Madison out, with the Tiktoker claiming “This was my first and last day working for Kroger for free” before departing the store after her six-hour shift. The video, which now has over 530,000 views, is filled with comments from users who are shocked that she was able to stay in the store for 6 hours but was then actually recognized by a real worker. “You are every HR department’s worst nightmare,” wrote one TikTok user, another commenting that Madison was “the employee of the day.” Time will tell which store Madison ends up in next, however, we’ll be sure to keep you across her content as more videos go viral on TikTok.

TikToker Keith Lee calls out UFC fighter Sean Strickland for false racist allegations – Dexerto
TikToker Keith Lee calls out UFC fighter Sean Strickland for false racist allegations TikTok: Keith_Lee125 / YouTube: Sean StricklandTikToker Keith Lee has shut down racist allegations made by UFC fighter Sean Strickland, claiming the conversation the two shared was spun to create a false narrative. Keith Lee, known as ‘keith_lee125’ on TikTok, is a 27-year-old professional fighter turned food reviewer who helps small businesses turn their fortune around. His change in career started after Lee decided to hone his speaking skills after the 2020 pandemic, with his TikTok account subsequently blowing up. Currently boasting 13.5 million followers on the platform, Lee has since gone on to collaborate with MrBeast and Kevin Hart. But Lee’s success almost came to a standstill when UFC fighter Sean Strickland claimed the creator was racist, resulting in mass backlash and negative comments. Now, after great consideration on whether to address the allegations, Lee has spoken out and clapped back at Strickland’s accusations. The drama started after the UFC fighter claimed he hated “Kevin Lee’s brother” while on an episode of his podcast. Strickland alleged that during a discussion at the gym, Lee came up to him and “tried to talk to [Strickland] about race”. According to Strickland, after some back and forth the conversation became heated with Lee apparently claiming, “I don’t like white people.” Now Lee is clapping back in a new TikTok addressing the claims Strickland made, stating “Yes, me and Sean had a conversation. No, this conversation didn’t go anything how he depicted it.” Lee went on to explain that he joined in on Strickland’s conversation with two other mutual friends and that the topic was already about race, in a discussion that started off as “intelligent” and “productive.” However, things took a turn after Strickland said, “Yo, Lee, I’m not racist. I’ve f***** more black women than you have, bro. How am I racist?” A statement Strickland himself admitted to. While Strickland claimed he was being ‘“funny,” Lee said he didn’t find the humor in the UFC fighter’s comments. “He then spun my words into saying [I don’t like white people],” Lee said. “Never at one point did I say I don’t like anybody [sic]. I simply disagreed with what he said and, instead of fighting ignorance with ignorance, I said ‘No, I’m happily married with children and I’m very proud of the family that God has allowed me to build.’” Strickland tweeted about Lee’s response, stating, “Bro you eat Cheetos for a living…. relax ‘I’m married to a beautiful black woman’ yes and right before that you said ‘naa I don’t like white people.’ Again it doesn’t f****** matter… [laughing my ass off] Keep eating your sushi. [sic]” Lee admits he considered not responding to the allegations made against him, but that they were beginning to affect his family and livelihood. He even went on to call the two friends who had been present for the conversation, both of which denied Strickland’s claims. “This goes completely against what I stand on as a person [sic],” Lee said. “My actions speak louder than my words, and I’ve been blessed enough to be in a position to be a marketing platform for business and business owners of all races.” For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

TikToker Kai Novak responds to “fake” texts about her relationship with Olivia Ponton – Dexerto
TikToker Kai Novak responds to “fake” texts about her relationship with Olivia Ponton TikTok: ohkai_ / Instagram: olivia.pontonTikToker Kai Novak has responded to a viral TikTok that claimed her relationship with Olivia Ponton isn’t real, saying that the text messages used as evidence are “fake.” Towards the end of March 2020, rumors began to circulate on TikTok that Olivia Ponton was dating a girl named Kai, after they were seen together in various social media and real-life interactions. However, a viral TikTok posted by Hannah Kosh claimed that the girls were faking their relationship as part of an agreement, where Olivia could help Kai’s sister get into modeling. The video alleged that Kai was also talking to another girl, Rilie, at the time, and pulled up screenshots of messages that she claimed the two girls exchanged. One of ‘Kai’s’ messages read: “Every single thing is for views, every word and comment is carefully planned out to get some kind of reaction. I’m doing this all for my sister.” The messages also alleged that Olivia would block Rilie on various different platforms from Kai’s phone. The video received nearly 600,000 likes, and was flooded with comments from confused fans. On April 30, Kai made her own video addressing the claims stated in the viral TikTok. “So many things I have to say, but I think at the end of the day I just need to prove that these texts are fake, and that Rilie has gone to such lengths to try to ruin a genuine relationship that I and Liv are super happy in right now,” the TikToker said. https://www.tiktok.com/@ohkai_/video/6957128028958838021?lang=en&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6891581267042141701 She clarified that she and Rilie never dated, were never going to date, and have also never met. Kai then went on to demonstrate just how easy it is to fake texts, by showing that she could change a contact to have any number she wants. “Basically what I’m saying is, the screen recording proves nothing, because Rilie’s been texting one of her friends that’s pretending to be me,” she added. “She’s changed the contact, she’s changed the phone number, in an attempt to get in between a genuine relationship that Rilie’s obviously jealous of.” https://www.tiktok.com/@ohkai_/video/6957128126270852357?lang=en&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6891581267042141701 She went on to say: “It’s really sad that I have to come on here to defend myself for something I’ve never done, considering I’ve blocked Rilie for a decent amount of time now. Rilie, I know you’re jealous. I know you have nothing better to do in your time, clearly. But grow up, let’s get over it, and stop coming at my relationship because you just have nothing and it’s embarrassing.” Olivia previously dated fellow TikTok star Kio Cyr, with the pair parting ways back in June 2020. But many fans are delighted for Olivia’s new relationship with Kai, loving the content they post together.

TikToker Kat Clark issues apology for “tone deaf” tourist video – Dexerto
TikToker Kat Clark issues apology for “tone deaf” tourist video TikTok: katclark86Australian TikToker Kat Clark has issued an apology after fans took issue with her vlog detailing her trip to New York City, with some commenters calling it “tone deaf.” Kat Clark is a relatively popular TikToker from Australia, boasting over 3 million followers on the viral video app. Clark often chronicles her travels with her family for her viewers, with their latest getaway taking place in New York City. In the short vlog, Clark and fam stayed at late rapper Biggie Small’s previous residence in Brooklyn and wanted to get the authentic New York experience… but not everyone was impressed with how they handled their trip. During their stay, Clark notably filmed a community of Hasidic Jewish people walking down the street and asked: “Why are so many people wearing these wigs?” seemingly referring to Shtreimels, hats that are traditionally worn by Hasidic Jewish men. On top of this, many viewers expressed disdain for how Clark described The Big Apple. TikToker under fire for “offensive” comments during New York trip “Not many tourists would choose this destination, but we want to experience the real New York,” Clark said in her video, using footage of food spilled on the ground outside. Clark also called a nearby pizzeria a “dodgy little pizza joint” and pointed out how there were “two police officers at every intersection, people selling trees and other supplies, hairdressers, and homeless people everywhere.” Commenters took issue with how Clark described the city, as well as her question regarding the Jewish community she filmed in her video, calling her words “insulting” and “tone deaf.” “This is so tone deaf,” one user wrote. “People aren’t a side show,” another said. “Imagine someone else just brushing off something about your religion like you just did,” another pointed out. “You could hurt someone’s feelings. It’s not hard to ask.” TikToker apologizes to Jewish community for “tone deaf” tourist video Clark has since posted an apology video addressing the backlash on her travel vlog, claiming that she received a slew of negative comments only after she’d left the city to travel back to AUS — including one that purportedly said, “If I ever see you walking the streets of New York, Imma beat your a** like your ex.” “I’m here to tell you that I have never seen a Shtreimel before,” Clark explained. “I have lived in Australia my whole life. …I have never seen anyone walking the streets with a Shtreimel before.” “Firstly, I wanna say sorry to anyone who was offended by my question,” she continued. “That wasn’t my intention. I was just making an observation, and I truly didn’t know what it was.” Comments beneath Clark’s apology video are relatively positive, with many claiming they also had never seen a Shtreimel until her NYC travel vlog. Since then, Clark has continued to upload other videos of her time in New York with her family, all of which have, comparatively, been well-received by fans.

TikToker Justine Paradise reveals she’s received threats after Jake Paul accusations – Dexerto
TikToker Justine Paradise reveals she’s received threats after Jake Paul accusations YouTube: IMPAULSIVE / Justine ParadiseJustine Paradise has revealed that, following accusations of sexual assault against YouTuber Jake Paul, she has been receiving an influx of threats and “disgusting hate.” On April 9, Justine uploaded a YouTube video in which she detailed her experience of going to the Team 10 house, and claimed Jake Paul sexually assaulted her. Jake firmly denied the allegations when he responded on April 13, calling it “a manufactured accusation” and a “blatant attempt for attention.” He also added that he would be “pursuing this defamation of character case to the fullest extent of the law.” In a new video to let her followers know how she’s been doing since she made her previous video, Justine has revealed the level of hate she’s been receiving online. “I’m getting so many threats in my DMs,” she began. “Not just from random people but from people who are in Los Angeles, telling me that they’re here so I need to watch my back. People saying that they will fight me if they see me, people saying that I need to kill myself.” Justine went onto explain that: “There are so many messages of people just telling me just to kill myself. That’s super overwhelming for me because I’ve never experienced this amount of hate on the internet before. The hate is so insane.” Topic starts at 4:02 https://youtu.be/vJYq4r3RnZ0?t=242 On her feelings about having so many eyes focused on her story, she said, “it’s so strange to watch so many people judge even the tiniest things I say,” and added, “it’s so weird to have this much attention, and especially for so much of it to be negative, it’s really hard.” The TikToker also revealed that she’s considering turning off her comments and DMs altogether as a result of the extreme backlash. “At first I just kind of got wrapped up in looking at the comments because when people ask questions I wanted to be able to answer them and defend myself, but there’s just so much disgusting hate that it’s just pointless to even go through it,” she added. It doesn’t appear that Jake Paul’s team has taken any legal action against Justine yet, but how the situation will progress going forward remains to be seen.

TikToker fails miserably at doggface208’s viral skateboard trend TikTok: doggface208 / julia_jamisonA TikToker has gone viral after spectacularly failing at a trend that sees people coasting around on skateboards drinking cranberry juice, inspired by the creator of the chill video, doggface208. Since its invention, TikTok has been the prime spot for video trends that sweep the internet, with people using the app’s unique (and often slightly broken) effects along with countless viral sounds to produce some hilarious content. And lots of people have made a name for themselves through their viral content, including doggface208, real name Nathan Apodaca. What is the doggface208 skateboard trend on TikTok? The user made waves in the TikTok world when he uploaded a video of him coasting along on a skateboard, swigging from a bottle of cranberry juice to the tune of “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac. The video now has a whopping 60 million views and 10 million likes, appearing across For You Pages globally, and inspiring the tag #dreamschallenge to surge in popularity, with plenty of people prompted to make their own versions. That’s how the trend started up. Not as easy as it seems TikTok user Julia Jamison was inspired to give the chill looking challenge ago. She enlisted a little help from her friends, one of which was filming from a distance and the other who pushed her along on the skateboard. Everything seemed to be going well initially, but when Julia lifted a foot off her skateboard for just a moment, her balance was thrown. She was sent crashing to the ground, the huge bottle of cranberry juice she was holding going everywhere. The chaos continued as her hat fell off and her skateboard shot out from underneath her and away from the view of the camera. She couldn’t have gone down more spectacularly. The unfortunate video has since garnered hundreds of thousands of likes on the pages that it has been reposted to, people both loving and cringing at the painful looking end to the viral trend.

TikToker Joey Swoll goes viral for defending man in gym amid streamer Jessica49 controversy – Dexerto
TikToker Joey Swoll goes viral for defending man in gym amid streamer Jessica49 controversy Instagram: joeyswollFitness TikToker Joey Swoll’s latest post has gone viral for defending a man in a controversial gym video shared by streamer Jessica49. TikTok Fitness Coach Joey Swoll is well-known within the TikTok fitness community for his work on combating “toxic” gym culture. He creates various educational gym content on TikTok, as well as responds to viral TikToks of individuals at the gym coming into question. Most recently, Swoll replied to Twitch streamer Jessica49’s TikTok, and shortly after went viral. Within the video, Swoll defended a man’s actions as he attempted to help Jessica49 at the gym, which she found extremely discomforting. The TikTok originally showed Jessica49 at the gym, in which she expressed her discomfort after being glanced at by a man, calling him a “stupid f*** piece of s***”. She then expressed extreme discomfort after the man approached her and asks if she needs help, layering the screen of the TikTok with text such as “what if I just ripped his pp out of his socket so he could never reproduce again” and “natural selection better take these wierdos out”. Swoll counteracted Jessica’s arguments, providing his own experience as a veteran lifter. “If you watch the video, he sees that you struggle putting plates on the other side. Now any experienced lifter knows that when you have a barbell on the ground… it’s very difficult to put plates on… He sees that you struggled, being an experienced lifter he comes over and tries to help you, ’cause that’s what kind people do.” Swoll went on to then condemn Jessica’s comments about the man. “It’s sad to see you took an act of kindness, this man doing something for you, being kind, and turned him into a creep at the gym. Talking about how you want to rip his reproductive organ off so he can’t reproduce and that natural selection should take him out. Really? “Trying to make yourself out to be a victim. Which you’re not. There are women harassed at gyms, you’re not one of them. You need to do better.” Joey’s video has received over 49 million views on Twitter, and the majority of comments seemingly agree with his take on the matter.

TikToker Jazlyn apologizes after lip-syncing racial slur – Dexerto
TikToker Jazlyn apologizes after lip-syncing racial slur Instagram: @jazlyn_gTikToker Jazlyn apologized for lip-syncing a racial slur while singing Said Sum Remix by Moneybagg Yo in a video with Danielle Cohn and Angel Rivera. Jazlyn’s lip-sync videos have helped her become popular on TikTok. Despite the fact she’s only 16 years old, she already has 1.5 million followers and has pulled a whopping 77.5 million likes across all her videos. However, she slipped up in a recent video, lip-syncing a racial slur while singing Said Sum Remix by Moneybagg Yo with Danielle Cohn and Angel Rivera. Jazlyn was the only one who lip-synced the word, and after being called by fans, she owned up to the mistake and wrote an elaborate apology. View this post on Instagram “To all my supporters, I never thought I would be in this position as I do not and have never used the n-word as part of my vocabulary. First and foremost, I sincerely apologize to anyone who I may have offended by my actions in the video that was posted.” “I do not want to make excuses, but I honestly just got caught up in singing the song and mimicked the lyrics. As an influencer, I completely understand the importance of word choice, particularly when it comes to racial sensitivity.” “I also understand that with a social media platform comes a greater level of responsibility, and being a positive role model is imperative. I truly focus on that every day as positivity is so important in our world today.” “Obviously, none of this justifies my actions, but the main thing I want to convey is that I do not use that word in any form of speech on or off social media. People that know me personally can validate that.” “Needless to say, I made a mistake, and I take full responsibility for that. As I continue to learn and grow as an individual, I will ensure that I remain aware of sensitive issues that could offend someone or influence someone in the wrong way.” View this post on Instagram Her fans are disappointed because they felt she could have easily skipped over the word like the others. Plus, they claim the “mistake” is even more disrespectful since it’s the middle of Black History Month in the United States and Canada. So, while some fans felt like her apology was earnest and sincere, others acknowledged it but refused to accept it.
