Shoplifter gets caught by cop after getaway driver ditches her in viral video TIKTOK: tessibaby1In a viral TikTok, a Nike shoplifter was captured getting caught by a police officer after her getaway driver left her behind. Content creator tessibaby1 posted the video that showed the shoplifter getting ditched by her accomplice who drove away, leaving her alone with stolen Nike products. “When shoplifters take ALL the Nike but forget to unlock the door…” a text-overlay in the video read, as the woman was seen in the parking lot of the store she burgled from. In the 22-second clip, the woman was trying to open the back door of a car, before it just drove away, abandoning her with the stolen goods in hand. She then dropped a large amount of gray Nike sweatpants to the floor, before noticing that there was a police officer running toward her. The woman quickly took off running, but the cop caught her eventually. She then walked away as she got handcuffs placed on her hands behind her back. TikTok reacts to shoplifter ditched by getaway car The video went viral with over 2.7 million views, as TikTok users took to the comments to share their amusement. “You know she told the truth and nothing but the truth after he left her,” one user quipped. “Why is she running after a car they’re gone and she’s going to jail,” another added, along with crying laughing face emojis. “POV the person kept trying to unlock the door but every time they unlocked it the girl reset it by pulling the handle” a third joked. Others, however, expressed sympathy for the shoplifter for being set up by her accomplices. “That was not you friend they wanted to see you get locked,” one user said. “They did that to her on purpose, that’s terrible,” another agreed. This is just the latest shoplifting incident to go viral, after a TikToker followed a shoplifter home and had the police arrest her.

Shmee150 reveals why he’s not driving his beloved McLaren 675LT Spider – Dexerto
Shmee150 reveals why he’s not driving his beloved McLaren 675LT Spider Tim ‘Shmee150’ Burton has plenty of beasts to choose from in his garage, but one of them won’t be seeing the road for a while, with the YouTuber explaining why he’s not driving his McLaren 675LT Spider in a recent video. Shmee150’s car collection is the envy of motoring enthusiasts around the world. The UK YouTuber has plenty of motors sitting in his garage, including an Aston Martin Vantage GT8, a Mercedes AMG GTR Pro, and a Ford GT. While he takes pleasure in taking them out for a spin, there’s one car that will be staying inside the garage for a while — his McLaren 675LT Spider. The YouTuber mentioned in a December 31 video there were some problems with the car in its routine service back in mid-2019 that have kept it off the road. “I took delivery of this car back in July 2016, that means it’s now about three-and-a-half years old,” he said. “At three years it went back to McLaren to have a full service, an MOT [test], to have a full complete checkover, to extend the warranty, and unfortunately a few little niggles were found.” Most of them were cosmetic, with some damage to the paintwork on the front wings and the bonnet. The panels had “a small bit of rust” on them, which took quite the process to fix up. For mobile readers, the related segment starts at 6:21 “They had to take them all apart, get them repainted, assemble them, and then take them back to Topaz to have them re-PPF’d (paint protection film). It’s been quite a long process.” He mentioned that, while not “particularly impressed” with the defects, that wasn’t the reason it was sitting at home. There’s a much more severe fault on his hands, one that could risk his life. “At the moment, the airbags are not connected because unfortunately, in transport back to me, the battery died,” he said. “Because the battery died, the electronics all disconnected, and as a result, it means I’d be driving without airbags. “It’s not a particularly hard thing to fix, it just needs a computer plugged in to reset them, but it does mean that I’m not going to drive a car like this without airbags on.” The broken airbags, coupled with poor weather conditions around where he lives, has forced Shmee to shelve the $400,000 beast for now. He did show off its roaring engine though, starting it up in his garage to show that it still runs perfectly fine. With another trip back to the dealer expected for his McLaren, it might still be a few months yet before we see Shmee back out on the road with one of his favorite prized possessions.

Shop owner gets leg up on fat-shaming critics by lowering plus-size prices – Dexerto
Shop owner gets leg up on fat-shaming critics by lowering plus-size prices TikTok: HesterSunshineTikToker Hester Sunshine got the leg up on fat-shaming critics in the comment section of one of their videos by making plus-size apparel even cheaper than it was in the first place. In the apparel industry, it’s not uncommon for bigger sizes of clothes to cost a little bit more due to the price of fabric and such. Self-acclaimed apparel innovator Hester Sunshine has gone against the grain with their store, which offers plus-size clothes for the same price as others. After they posted a video showcasing their clothes and received comments from fat-shaming critics wanting Hester to charge more, they hit back in the best way possible. Shop owner puts plus-sized clothes on sale Posted on November 11, 2023, Hester revealed that they recently had a video go viral on “the wrong side of the app.” “And a lot of people were upset because I showcased one of my favorite models wearing a size j, which is the equivalent to a 6x. One of the biggest angers that I got out of this was that I charge the same price for my smaller sizes that I do for my plus size,” they said. “You know what, guys? Keep being angry, keep being annoyed because i’m going to do you one better. From now until the middle of December, all of my plus sizes are going to be 20% off. For a little bit, my plus size will be cheaper.” They went on to explain that most straight-size people have been able to get cheaper, more accessible clothing and that she wanted to shake things up a bit. Viewers quickly took to the comments to share their support for the shop owner. “Just wanted to say love this love you love what you’re doing!! from a broke plus size girlie can’t afford right now but hopefully someday soon,” one user replied. Another commented: “Fashion is how I learned about Equity vs. Equality as a child when I learned why different sizes cost the same. I love the idea of this sale.” For more news and other viral entertainment stories, keep it locked to Dexerto.

Shirtless Madden streamer goes viral after sweaty DBZ-inspired celebration – Dexerto
Shirtless Madden streamer goes viral after sweaty DBZ-inspired celebration Facebook, Chibatta MitchA Madden streamer, ‘Chibatta Mitch,’ has set the internet ablaze as a clip of him, shirtless and sweaty, blending the WWE and Dragon Ball Z, earns viral fame across social media. Of all the simple objects in the world, few hold as much power as a green screen. And Chibatta Mitch, the self-proclaimed “Madden God,” has proved that true by capitalizing on an otherwise limited streaming setup to produce a clip that is flying across Twitter. Like Santa, his reindeer and sleigh full of gifts, a video of Chibatta Mitch’s Madden gameplay is circulating the internet’s clouds and bringing joy to gamers far and wide. Mitch, a Facebook Gaming streamer and Madden maestro (ranked at No. 3 worldwide), doesn’t have the greatest microphone quality, but his production and energy remain untouched. In the circulating clip, Mitch is playing an opponent online and, despite it being just the first quarter, he is shirtless, drenched in sweat and calling timeouts for pep talks like it’s the Super Bowl of a cheesy movie. But, instead of , the streamer uses his green screen and music selection to produce a moment that juxtaposes the worlds of professional wrestling and anime. https://twitter.com/biz__23/status/1347792509485928450 Inspired by the energy, ‘biz__23’ shared the clip on Twitter with a simple caption: “This s**t made me want to start gaming again.” Eventually, the clip made its rounds across the web, even prompting ESPN’s SportsCenter to share it on a day that many expected traditional sports fans to be much more focused on NFL Wildcard Sunday. Read more: Rust dev mocks streamers – But some content cannot be denied and Mitch’s is no exception. In the replies, users credited the streamer for producing an excellent Kamehameha recreation and for the thunderstorm embodiment of the WWE’s Undertaker introductions. Fans of Chibatta Mitch’s also saw the clip and had to introduce new viewers to more of his antics. In one clip, ‘PJ_Island12’ showed a screen recording of Mitch hyping himself up as a drill sergeant addressing a line of marines. With other fans letting people know that this first-quarter Mitch behavior is typical, we now know that the streamer goes through multiple ripped shirts per stream. More impressively, despite bringing so much energy to his content, it appears that he is a top-3 ranked player on the Madden leaderboards.

Sheeraz Hasan warns Charli D’Amelio over botched promo: “We control the paparazzi” – Dexerto
Sheeraz Hasan warns Charli D’Amelio over botched promo: “We control the paparazzi” Instagram: sheeraz / YouTube: Charli D’AmelioMedia mogul Sheeraz Hasan has sent a warning toward TikTok star Charli D’Amelio after the influencer’s lawyers took issue with her appearance in a promotion for Hasan’s masterclass. Charli D’Amelio is arguably one of the most famous people on the internet right now. An icon from Gen Z, D’Amelio is the most-followed creator on TikTok, and has scored a slew of major brand deals throughout her still-budding career (including getting her very own drink at Dunkin’ Donuts). There’s always some fairly big caveats to fame, though… one of those being potential lawsuits at every corner. It seems like Charli has found herself in the middle of one after her lawyers went after media mogul Sheeraz Hasan this month. For those who have no idea who Hasan is, this kingpin has been dubbed as “the man who controls Hollywood.” This vaguely obtuse title refers to his status as a major social media powerhouse behind some of the biggest faces in showbiz, including Kim Kardashian. Why is Hasan talking about Charli D’Amelio? Charli recently appeared in a promotional video hawking Hasan’s “Fame” masterclass, where she was shown saying, “Hi, Fame By Sheeraz!” in what looks like a clip taken by paps while she was enjoying a night out on the town. It seems that Charli’s lawyers are not happy with her inclusion in the project. According to TMZ, they recently sent a legal letter to Hasan asking that her portion of the video be completely removed. View this post on Instagram Hasan warns Charli D’Amelio: “You’re always gonna need fame” Hasan shot off a response to this legal kerfuffle in a pointed video on August 24, where he appeared to warn D’Amelio against pissing off the paps in her current climb toward success in the mainstream media. “It doesn’t matter what you do in your career, you’re always gonna need fame,” Hasan began. “Every time you go out, fame cameras are there. You get media. Every time you need exposure, fame cameras are there, your stock goes even higher.” “If you want your show to be a hit on Hulu, you’re gonna need fame. Without your fame, without the machine, without us giving you that exposure… you’re not gonna get the ratings. … I think you should pick up the phone to your lawyer, and say, ‘Listen, I think we should back off, because I want a hit TV Show.’” Hasan went on to tell TMZ: “Don’t poke the media beast. We control the paparazzi and media that promotes you and gives you FAME. That’s why you endorsed FAME by Sheeraz.” Charli has yet to respond to Hasan’s video, leaving fans scratching their heads and onlookers waiting for the next move.

Sheri Nicole shuts down Monty Lopez’s call to “reconcile” as he’s spotted with Renne Ash – Dexerto
Sheri Nicole shuts down Monty Lopez’s call to “reconcile” as he’s spotted with Renne Ash Instagram: sherinicole, renne.ashAddison Rae’s mom, Sheri Nicole, is taking shots at ex-husband Monty Lopez after he was spotted out with 25-year-old influencer Renne Ash once again. The family drama between Addison Rae’s parents has entered another jaw-dropping chapter after Monty Lopez was spotted hanging out with Renne Ash again. For those out of the loop, Addison Rae isn’t exactly on good terms with her parents. The issues started after it was thought that Lopez was cheating on Sheri Nicole when he was exposed by Instagram influencer Renne Ash, who posted a slew of affectionate pics she’d taken with Monty. According to a statement from Renne, she was under the impression that he and Sheri were separated and in the process of making their breakup permanent. “Unfortunately, he misled me on his marriage, he lied to me,” Ash said to PageSix. “He even introduced me to his mom, his youngest brother, and I thought we had something real. He told me a story of his marriage that convinced me that they were apart and in the process of getting a divorce.” Monty Lopez spotted with Renne Ash again It looked as though this couple was officially over after Renne’s damning statements took over social media — especially when Lopez seemed to move on to influencer Ava Louise. However, Lopez was recently spotted out with Renne Ash once again at several locations including Soho House West Hollywood and Hotel Bel-Air. “It was like they were meeting to talk, to talk through everything that’s happened since word got out about their relationship,” sources claimed via Daily Mail. “Monty seemed really paranoid and it was clear he didn’t want to be recognized and he was nervous about being out with Renee in public.” This latest news comes after Lopez made comments about “reconciling” with his family, saying in a statement to the Hollywood Fix, “I’m sure, we reconcile every day as a family. That doesn’t break apart anything. Maybe we’re not happy with each other but at the end of the day, we’re still all family so it’s gonna work out.” It doesn’t look like Sheri is interested in making up, though, after he was seen hanging out with Renne Ash. She posted a pointed tweet on September 16, writing a very possible response to the matter: “Let it go and don’t you dare look back.” That’s not all; Sheri posted another tweet shortly thereafter, saying that she can “move on quickly if I feel like you are playing games with me.” For now, it doesn’t look like any reconciliation will be happening between these estranged spouses as Addison Rae continues to distance herself from her family amid the “mortifying” drama.

She-Hulk star Jameela Jamil calls for non-binary category at award shows – Dexerto
She-Hulk star Jameela Jamil calls for non-binary category at award shows INSTAGRAM: jameelajamilShe-Hulk star Jameela Jamil has recently proposed non-binary categories at award shows to prevent exclusion of women in Hollywood. The 37-year-old actress suggested an entirely new category solely for non-binary actors, amid talk of the Academy Awards looking to do so in the future. On Instagram on June 17, Jameela wrote: “Would it not be better to give non-binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women given the known disproportionate amount of men vs women winning at award shows? She went on to praise non-binary talent in the movie industry, suggesting we should “add” to the categories already in existence, rather than “run the accidental risk of erasing.” Jameela continued: “It’s a shame that this disparity exists in the first place. But it does exist. It is blatant and it makes the news every year within awards shows. I have learned during my 18 years working within activism, that while some backlash is inevitable and indeed helpful, some of it only muddies the waters and slows down progress.” The ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ actress explained how her comments were because the Oscars are “looking to get rid of gendered acting awards. As we see with the director award which is genderless, it’s rare to even see a woman nominated never mind win.” She added: “I want to open more doors and create more tables, not narrow the opportunities for everyone, including GNC [gender non-conforming] people.” ‘The Last Of Us‘ star Bella Ramsey, who identifies as non-binary, supported Jameela’s idea in the comments. “I would love the categories to be ‘Actress/Non-Binary Performer’ and ‘Actor/Non-Binary Performer’ then the performer can be submitted into their preferred category,” they wrote. “It’s not a perfect solution, but that’s my take on it. I think it’s more about making us feel seen and included rather than categorised,” they said. Jameela later revealed that the two had been discussing the issue together over direct messages, and realized that they both “don’t have the perfect answer.” For all the latest entertainment news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

Shawn Michaels explains why he wasn’t surprised by Logan Paul’s “fantastic” WWE debut – Dexerto
Shawn Michaels explains why he wasn’t surprised by Logan Paul’s “fantastic” WWE debut YouTube: Impaulsive/True GeordieShawn Michaels is one of the most popular, decorated, and celebrated superstars in the history of the WWE. He’s now heaped praise on YouTuber Logan Paul a couple of months after his WrestleMania debut. Logan Paul shocked the pro wrestling world when he started to appear on WWE broadcasts, but even more so when he made his debut alongside The Miz at WrestleMania, taking on Rey and Dominik Mysterio. He impressed even the most die-hard fans — a hard achievement for any wrestler, let alone someone who’s never even performed in the ring. Best of all though, he made some of the greats of the sport stop and appreciate his talent, including Mr. WrestleMania himself, Shawn Michaels. Speaking with UK podcast host Brian Davis on his True Geordie podcast, Davis — who is often more friendly with YouTubers and other influencers than pro wrestlers — asked what Michaels thought of Logan’s debut. He said: “Absolutely, I was [impressed] as well. I’m glad you brought it up, because that was … Look, it’s always a question to people when we bring in celebrities from the outside, and now I will say I think the celebrities really make a real effort to make sure they adjust to our sport well. “He did a fantastic job. I will say this: I wasn’t that surprised by it because if you’ve watched him in boxing, and almost everything he does, he jumps into it, full board. He’s 100% committed to everything he does. So I wasn’t surprised by it but, at the same time, he really did do a fantastic job.” Timestamp 8:10 Michaels went on to explain how hard it can be to step into the ring after taking a big break — let alone doing it for the first time, without getting regular reps in between the ropes. Logan has spoken about how much he loved performing in the WWE and his return at SummerSlam is already set to happen — and maybe it could even become a regular thing if he can keep performing that well.

Shaq roasts Logan Paul for wearing ‘Jeffrey Dahmer’ glasses – Dexerto
Shaq roasts Logan Paul for wearing ‘Jeffrey Dahmer’ glasses YouTube: IMPAULSIVEYouTube star Logan Paul sat down with the legendary Shaquille O’Neal for an episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he ended up getting mercilessly roasted by the former pro baller. Logan Paul scored the literal biggest guest of his career with Shaq in an October 5 episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. The 7’1 celebrity athlete sat down with Logan, George Jankos, and Mike Majlak to discuss his life as a former NBA star and current sports analyst… but the conversation kept getting interrupted with some hilarious quips from Shaq. To start, Shaq couldn’t help but roast Paul’s ‘short shorts,’ asking the YouTuber to please “close his legs” when speaking to him. Shaq mercilessly roasts Logan Paul on IMPAULSIVE podcast “Do me a favor, close your legs when you’re talking to me,” Shaq joked before imitating Paul’s pose right in front of George Jankos. “Do you see him?” “Woah, dude! You almost slapped your d**k in my face!” George joked. Shaq was ready with the zingers all evening, even going on to compare Logan’s clear glasses frames to those of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, the subject of a controversial Netflix show. “Why do you look more like a dad than Shaq does?” Co-host Mike Majlak asked Logan. “Is it the glasses?” Logan asked. “These are new.” “I know, I seen the Jeffery Dahmer joints,” Shaq slyly replied, sparking laughter from the entire audience. “What the f**k is going on?” Logan laughed. “What did I do wrong?” “You’ve been watching Netflix,” Shaq shot back. “So have I. I’m on episode six right now.” (Topic begins at 2:31) Of course, those were far from the only jokes Shaq had on hand; in fact, the first words out of his mouth on the show were: “All that money you’re making and you couldn’t get a bigger stage?” It’s clear that Shaq enjoyed his time on Logan Paul’s podcast, and the crew were able to banter about while still discussing more serious topics and stories from O’Neil’s life. This is just the latest major guest that Logan has had on his podcast, following the appearance of wrestling star Roman Reigns on the show in September.

TikToker claims shark tracking app may have accidentally found missing OceanGate submarine – Dexerto
TikToker claims shark tracking app may have accidentally found missing OceanGate submarine TikTok: sqayl / OcearchThe search for the missing OceanGate Titan remains ongoing, as its passengers slowly run out of oxygen. However, one TikToker claims a shark-tracking app may hold the answers. The OceanGate Titan went missing four days ago after losing communications during its descent to the Titanic. While search teams race to locate the submersible, the internet has been going wild with theories as to what happened and where the Titan currently resides. Now, one TikToker claims he may have accidentally stumbled across a way to locate the Titan. Posted to the account ‘sqayl’, the TikToker theorizes that a free shark tracking app called Ocearch may have unintentionally stumbled upon the submarine’s location. Two of the apps tracked sharks, Andromache and Simon, triggered pings on the app at locations that did not match their expected “patterns”. “This will inevitably get deleted by Ocearch,” sqayl claimed, explaining that the sharks were unlikely to have swum to the coordinates they were detected at. “The statistical likelihood of both of these sharks swimming to the exact same location where the Titanic sunk and Titan the missing submarine is located [sic] is an imaginary number that doesn’t exist,” Sqayl claims in the video. Sqayl goes on to further explain in the comments of his TikTok that he believes “The shark tracking [app] accidentally pinged the submarine somehow.” Pleading for someone to reach out and ask Ocearch for the coordinates, Sqayl remained adamant that the pings were not “glitches”. “Wow, that ping stopped at -226 ft too. Crazy as hell man, you might be onto something,” one person commented. Others were more skeptical of the theory, with one TikTok user writing, “You, in fact, did not find the missing sub.” However, it seems the pings have since been deleted by the app, leaving Sqayl’s theory to be left unverifiable. As the story continues to progress, we’ll be sure to keep you updated. For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

Shaq considers streaming after hearing about $100m xQc Kick deal – Dexerto
Shaq considers streaming after hearing about $100m xQc Kick deal Twitter: fullsquadgaming / Instagram: xQcWorld-famous NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal seemed to show an interest in streaming after learning about xQc’s $100 million deal with Kick. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of the world’s most famous streamers — and now, he’s one of the world’s richest, having secured a massive deal with Kick back in June. The streamer, who previously made his home exclusively on Twitch, has now begun streaming on Kick to the tune of $100 million in one of the most profitable streamer contracts we’ve seen to date. Dozens of other high-profile content creators have also eyed Kick as their primary platform of choice after news of xQc’s deal went viral, with names like Amouranth joining the site and others like Logan Paul hoping for his own lucrative Kick contract. Shaq vows to “come after” xQc following streamer’s $100M Kick deal Now, another major figure is pondering the possibilities of streaming on Kick — none other than NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, who learned about xQc’s deal in a recent episode of the Full Squad Gaming podcast. Shaq sat down with the Full Squad Gaming hosts in a casual interview where they informed him about the streamer’s profitable payday, prompting Shaq to give a humorous (and quite surprising) answer in response. “They pay him $50 million [per year] just to play video games?” Shaq asked. “Just to stream on their site,” one of the hosts answered. “Not even exclusively.” “…He’s in trouble,” Shaq responded. “Because I’m about to come after him. …He just turns the camera on and people just watch him?” “Would you ever try it?” a host asked. “What would I stream?” Shaq queried. After being informed that he could stream just about anything he liked, the former pro baller replied: “Hmm. I might have to look into that.” When asked about what his price would be, should Kick take an interest in him, Shaq responded that his desired amount was “up there.” Shaq hasn’t been afraid to venture outside of his comfort zone in the past. Between his various exploits as a businessman as well as headlining music festivals under the name DJ Diesel, he’s had an illustrious presence beyond the basketball career that put him on the map. Who knows if we’ll see this celebrity enter the streaming space? “Congratulations to the guy who signed [for] a hundred mil,” Shaq said, making sure to give props to xQc’s historic deal. Shaq’s statement comes at a pivotal moment in the ongoing streaming wars as platforms like Kick, Twitch, and YouTube continue to duke it out by securing top-tier broadcasters with exclusive deals.

Shaq offers Hawk Tuah girl “gracious” life advice after partying together – Dexerto
Shaq offers Hawk Tuah girl “gracious” life advice after partying together Instagram: HaileywelchofficialNBA legend Shaquille O’Neal gave the viral Hawk Tuah girl, Hailey Welch, advice on “how to deal with fame” after partying in Nashville together. Tennessee woman Hailey Welch has taken her newfound fame in stride after becoming an overnight internet sensation by coining the viral catchphrase “hawk tuah” during a street interview. She has since made a fortune selling merch, sung on stage with country music star Zach Bryan, and revealed plans for starting her own show. But not everything has been sunshine and rainbows. Hailey previously called out “creepy” fake social media accounts and revealed she’s received “hateful comments” online. While partying in Nashville, however, the Tennessee celebrity met Shaq, who shared advice on navigating stardom. Sources told TMZ that Shaq had his team reach out to the newfound influencer after her appearance with Zach on stage. Hailey was then invited to join Shaq at his DJ gig at Bon Jovi’s place, which is where the two connected. Not only did the two groove together behind the DJ booth – with Hailey causing the crowd to erupt after recreating her signature “Hawk Tuah” – but Shaq also took the opportunity to get candid. The former NBA star advised Hailey to “keep a smart team around” to avoid being taken advantage of and give “no mind” to haters who didn’t actually know her. Hailey’s reps later told Page Six that Shaq was “extremely gracious, personable, and caring” as he ‘realized’ she was “dealing with a lot of unnecessary hate.” They went on to dub Shaq as “part of the ‘Protecting the Hawk from the Vultures’ squad”, with Hailey allegedly now considering him a “friend and someone who truly cares about her.” Hailey later posted a photo with Shaq on her Instagram account, writing that he was teaching her to “shoot” in the caption and that “his accuracy is as elusive as a rare remix.” In another post, she dubbed the NBA legend “the Big Diesel”.

Shannon Briggs under fire for punching fan at KSI v Logan Paul weigh-in – Dexerto
Shannon Briggs under fire for punching fan at KSI v Logan Paul weigh-in YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul made a showing at the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 8 for their pre-fight weigh-in – but they aren’t the only ones with a score to settle. Shannon Briggs, two-time world heavyweight champion and coach to Logan Paul, got caught in a scuffle sometime at the weigh-in, as shown by footage taken by FightHype.com. In their four-minute-long video, Briggs can be seen arguing with a member of KSI’s entourage – seemingly WKA World Champion Amer Abdallah – outside the Staples Center, reaching out to push his throat as their argument escalated before being separated by security. 600“He shouldn’t have come up to me,” Briggs explained. “I’m not like that.” That’s not all: after being talked down, Briggs walked away from the altercation to a barrier several paces away, where another scuffle erupted between the former world champ and a group of bystanders. Briggs can be seen throwing a punch to a white-shirted civilian’s face as the second altercation erupted, which was quickly contained by police. “Chill out,” Briggs warned once the commotion died down. “Chill out.

Leave it at that.” This altercation did not go unnoticed by KSI, who called for the commission to remove Briggs from the venue on fight night. “So why is Briggs punching civilians now?” KSI Tweeted. “The commission should have you removed from the fight tomorrow.” So why is @TheCannonBriggs punching civilians now?

However, it looks like tensions have finally been settled, with WBA light heavyweight champion Badou Jack Tweeting that the “beef” between Briggs and Abdallah had been “squashed.” “It was all a big misunderstanding,” Jack wrote of the scuffle. “We are all brothers again.” The ”beef” with @TheCannonBriggs and @TeamAbdallah is squashed now. It was all a big miss understanding. We are all brothers again :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::boxing_glove: — Badou Jack (@BadouJack) November 8, 2019 Despite trying to keep the peace, it doesn’t look like the internet is letting go of the incident anytime soon – and whether or not Briggs will be allowed to coach as Paul’s cornerman during the rematch remains to be seen.

Shaq argues esports pros should be recognized as athletes: “I can’t do what you do” – Dexerto
Shaq argues esports pros should be recognized as athletes: “I can’t do what you do” YouTube: PaperlyteShaquille O’Neal has weighed in on the debate raging around whether esports players are athletes or not, claiming they should indeed be recognized as one and the same. Shaq Daddy, Big Shamrock, and Superman are just a handful of the names used to describe the one-of-a-kind Shaquille O’Neal. The terms NRG investor and esports fan are less often-used but still equally valid descriptions of the NBA hall of famer. Though this is far from the first time the 7 ft 1 behemoth has made his NRG affiliation known. In conversation with Jake Lucky on the Full Squad tour bus, currently traveling America for unique interview opportunities, Shaq offered his opinion over whether or not he believes esports pros are athletes. In a short clip posted to Twitter, Jake Lucky asked Shaq directly whether he considers esports players to be ‘Athletes’. A semantic debate that has been going on since professional gaming entered the cultural mainstream. Starting his response, Shaq fired off an instant “I do”, before continuing and clarifying his point. “Athlete means different things. But athlete means here” while tapping his temple. Expanding upon what ‘here’ means, O’Neal stated “15% of the game is physical, everything else is mental.” With burnout and mental fatigue consistently on the radar in the pro esports scene, Shaq hit the nail on the head with his thoughts on the duress that players go under. Pointing out: “That’s why you guys don’t really have a long shelf life. 3-5 years?” I asked Shaq if esports players are athletes His answer was frikin beautiful pic.twitter.com/R5O0176nII — Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) May 25, 2022 Finalizing his thoughts on the topic, O’Neal offered this inspirational soundbite: “If you guys say you’re athletes, I believe you. Cause I can’t do what you do.” With calls for esports to be included in the Olympics dating back to 2017, and strong opposition in full swing, it’s unlikely that Shaq has closed the debate for good, but it’s a solid step in mainstream recognition.

Shane Gillis roasts Joe Rogan with Trump impression on Kill Tony amid RFK ‘endorsement’ drama – Dexerto
Shane Gillis roasts Joe Rogan with Trump impression on Kill Tony amid RFK ‘endorsement’ drama JRE/XShane Gillis brought back his Donald Trump impersonation to roast Joe Rogan when Kill Tony held a special event from Madison Square Garden. Popular comedy podcast Kill Tony was live in New York City on August 9 – 10, and just like the show’s most-viewed episode ever, Shane Gillis donned his Trump wig to do the event in-character. As host Tony Hinchcliffe introduced the guests, he referenced Joe Rogan and the show’s home in Austin, Texas, causing Gillis to interrupt him and go on one of his classic Trump-inspired rants. Gillis joked that New York was better than Austin, because it didn’t have “absolute cowards like little Joe Rogan telling us what to do.” The comedian brought up Rogan’s controversial praise for Robert F. Kennedy Jr on his JRE podcast, which many mistakenly believed was a presidential endorsement. “He wants to endorse RFK Jr, can you believe this? Joe Rogan is an absolute joke and a complete p*ssy, and if I ever saw him, I would whoop his b*tch ass,” Gillis continued. “What a coward. Complete coward and it’s frankly, he’s an embarrassment to this country.” Of course, this was all done for laughs to make Joe Rogan’s entrance on Kill Tony all the more dramatic when he came out to “confront” Gillis. This segment came as the real Donald Trump expressed frustration over Rogan’s remarks about RFK, where he called the 70-year-old the “only [presidential candidate] that makes sense to me.” Trump posted on his Truth Social account attacking Rogan saying, “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring.” Rogan did, however, clarify that his praise wasn’t an endorsement. “This is me saying that I like RFK Jr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence. I think we could use more of that in this world.” The podcast icon also uploaded an Instagram photo after the Kill Tony show alongside Gillis and joked about the whole fiasco. “Ran into Trump. Everything is cool,” he captioned the picture.

Shane Dawson’s documentary series could be making him millions – Dexerto
Shane Dawson’s documentary series could be making him millions Popular YouTuber Shane Dawson’s ongoing documentary series over social media star Jake Paul is reportedly making him millions, according to industry experts. Influencer marketing manager Jessica Brennan of agency Specialist Works held that the YouTuber could be getting paid anywhere from $85,000 to $170,000 for a single video – leading to massive monthly income. “The fact that he’s probably making around 15 videos a month means he’s earning around two million dollars a month,” she told the BBC’s Radio 1 Newsbeat. Dawson’s current series has an upload schedule of Monday/Wednesday/Friday, but has no formal cap – meaning that it could potentially feature a slew of episodes. Dawson’s previous series, covering makeup artist Jeffree Star and YouTuber Tana Mongeau, feature five and three videos respectively, with Star’s piece being the most recent addition to his portfolio aside from his ongoing project over Jake Paul. It seems as though Dawson is becoming more and more ambitious with each project – which likewise means more cash. Brennan held that Dawson’s attractiveness to advertisers stems from the series’ currently viral nature, as it has been in YouTube’s top trending videos with each episode’s release. “It means that these types of people are merging into a celebrity, more than just a YouTuber, because of how well they are known outside of their platform,” Brennan explained. Dawson’s quick coverage of controversial figures has earned him praise and criticism alike, with his most recent controversy stemming from his treatment of Antisocial Personality Disorder in the second episode of ‘The Mind of Jake Paul.’

Shane Dawson’s docuseries on Jake Paul is getting more viewers than major Netflix shows – Dexerto
Shane Dawson’s docuseries on Jake Paul is getting more viewers than major Netflix shows Shane Dawson / YouTubeThe ongoing docuseries created by Shane Dawson focused on Jake Paul is smashing viewing records – and not just on YouTube, but in the mainstream too. Shane Dawson is a YouTuber with over 17 million subscribers, and recently has done a number of documentary style videos focused on other creators. His eight part series about Jake Paul is Dawson’s biggest undertaking yet, with each episode lasting over 40 minutes, and focusing on different facets of Jake Paul’s life and personality. The professional editing style and length of each episode has drawn comparisons to professional TV documentaries – but the numbers show that Dawson’s videos are actually outperforming the biggest mainstream equivalents. YouTuber, comedian and rapper Elijah Daniel, compared the numbers of Dawson’s Jake Paul series to that of Netflix’s ‘Making a Murderer.’ According to Daniel, Dawson is getting the same number of views per episode as the entire Making a Murderer series, and in less time too. Making a Murderer, one of the biggest, most talked about docuseries to come out in the past few years, got 19m viewers in 35 days across all episodes. @ShaneDawson is getting almost that per EPISODE in less than a week w a homemade series & if that isn’t inspiring idk what is — lil phag (@elijahdaniel) October 1, 2018 Daniel also compared it to the immensely popular ‘Stranger Things’ series, which had a budget of $8 million, and yet couldn’t accrue anywhere near the viewership figures of Dawson’s series. To compare, the episode ‘The Family of Jake Paul’, has over 12 million views in only two days, a figure which Stranger Things almost never managed for an episode after a whole week. But like, actually lmao. Stranger Things s2, w an $8m budget per episode got around 350k views/episode first day. He’s getting better ratings than the biggest mainstream shows out rn. Even their first week numbers pale in comparison to his homemade series ratings. It’s nuts pic.twitter.com/q9SmdS0J2Y — lil phag (@elijahdaniel) October 1, 2018 It is not an entirely fair comparison however, as the shows Daniels mentions require service subscriptions to Netflix, which are costly, whereas watching Dawson’s YouTube series requires nothing more than an internet connection. Regardless, the level of interest and general fanfare around Dawson’s series, proves that YouTube and other user created online is no longer playing catch up to huge budget productions of TV and Film. Another YouTuber, Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, also boasts about the viewing figures that his $20,000 budget Fortnite tournament would achieve, beating out a major production like AMC’s The Walking Dead. I ran a Fortnite tournament earlier this year that was getting more viewers n a Friday night (live viewers) than the Walking Dead. Forbes wrote a article on it. My budget was $20k a week lol — KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) October 1, 2018 The latest episode of Shane Dawson’s series, ‘The Enemies of Jake Paul’, has accrued over 9 million views in less than 24 hours. With three episodes still remaining, the total view count will easily hit over 100 million. At the time of writing, the series has over 72 million total views, after only five episodes.

Shane Dawson to expose “Ugly Side of the Beauty World” in next documentary series – Dexerto
Shane Dawson to expose “Ugly Side of the Beauty World” in next documentary series Shane Dawson, YouTube / Jeffree Star, InstagramWhile popular YouTuber Shane Dawson has made a home for himself on the video platform for some time, his documentary series have pushed him to the height of fame in recent years – and now, he’s spilling the beans about his upcoming project. Dawson began his documentary series drive by detailing the lives of controversial YouTubers, including such names as Tana Mongeau, Jake Paul, and even Jeffree Star – a massively popular makeup mogul who will be making yet another appearance in Dawson’s next series. Dawson uploaded a Tweet on June 30 finally admitting the premise and date for his forthcoming project, which he called, “The Ugly Side of the Beauty World.” Ugly Side of the Beauty World series in the fall and possibly something else in july. some stuff happened that threw a wrench in the conspiracy series but i’ll explain soon. but the series in the fall is A LOT..so trust me, you’ll be sick of me by the end of the year haha :grimacing: https://t.co/AVO2eOxhvb — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) June 30, 2019 “Ugly Side of the Beauty World series in the fall and possibly something else in July,” he wrote in reply to a fan. “Some stuff happened that threw a wrench in the conspiracy series, but I’ll explain soon. But the series in the fall is A LOT… so trust me, you’ll be sick of me by the end of the year.” Although Dawson didn’t exactly let slip what the series might be about, he has previously mentioned that he is working closely with Star for the project (which, considering its title, could very well discuss the drama between beauty YouTubers James Charles and Tati Westbrook in May). That’s not all: Dawson claimed that his previously teased conspiracy theory video would be incorporated into his Beauty series, which he’d previewed with a series of photos in early June. Dawson uploaded four photos to Twitter on June 8, which showed an apparent video setup in a hotel room and a snapshot of his face on the camera’s viewfinder. Although he didn’t make any mention of what the proposed conspiracy was about, it looks like fans won’t be seeing a full-fledged series for the theory, as was previously thought. “…the main theory will now be incorporated into the beauty series, and it just makes more sense to do that,” he explained. “But I’ll explain more soon.” thank u :,) the main theory will now be incorporated into the beauty series and it just makes more sense to do that. but ill explain more soon :pray::skin-tone-2::heart:️:heart:️ https://t.co/bo76xGyLDc — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) June 30, 2019 Despite these drawbacks, fans are more than excited for Dawson’s upcoming collaboration with Star for yet another documentary, following his ‘Conspiracies with Shane Dawson’ double-video uploads in late January. Dawson’s documentary series earned him widespread acclaim across the YouTube space, even seeing him earn a Shorty Award in early May for his efforts – and with all the hype surrounding his current endeavors, his next project is shaping up to be another smash hit.

Shane Dawson starts trending after bizarre cat Tweet from “Nintendo” – Dexerto
Shane Dawson starts trending after bizarre cat Tweet from “Nintendo” Instagram: Shane DawsonShane Dawson might be gone from the internet, but after an unusual Tweet by ‘Nintendo’ concerning a cat went viral on February 13, it became clear that he certainly hasn’t been forgotten… It all started when a very official-looking Nintendo account tweeted a screenshot of Super Mario along with some furry friends with the caption: “Nothing feels better than the inside of the cat!” Although some fans thought this was an innocent mistake on Nintendo’s part, a closer look at the account makes clear that it isn’t affiliated with Nintendo (although it definitely looks very convincing). Firstly, the account isn’t ‘verified’ on Twitter, meaning that it doesn’t have the blue tick that most official accounts have. The account was only set up in August 2020, and if that wasn’t clear enough, the location of the account is set as ‘PARODY’. https://twitter.com/MelBot999/status/1360646621227151361 With that in mind, it is pretty clear that the people behind this ‘Nintendo’ account knew exactly how their innuendo-filled tweet could be interpreted. In what is no doubt an embarrassing moment for Dawson, as the Tweet blew up (it now has 12.7k likes and 4.6k retweets), he ended up trending on Twitter as a result, as fans couldn’t help remember Shane’s own chequered history with felines. With Twitter users joking that Shane Dawson must be running the official Nintendo account, here are some of the best memes that came out of the surprise Twitter trend: https://twitter.com/honkykarl/status/1360756704581804033 this is why shane dawson is trending and I hate myself for understanding this reference. pic.twitter.com/VEC5kW7w5L — JOLLY J✨ (@DynamoSuperX) February 14, 2021 another account being run by shane dawson https://t.co/tP5oxOnYtG — Poyo420 (@Poyo420_) February 14, 2021 i just looked at the reason why shane dawson is trending… pic.twitter.com/u0KfRbpfoO — soni (@bbysonia_) February 14, 2021 https://twitter.com/0hn0syk0/status/1360855661937119232 What happened with Shane Dawson and his cat? Shane Dawson was accused of engaging in sexual activity with his cat after an old clip from his ‘Shane and Friends’ podcast resurfaced in March 2019. In the 2014 clip, Shane jokingly described how he had his “first sexual experience” at 19 years old with his pet cat. In the podcast, the YouTuber claimed he “spread” the cat’s legs, and “humped” her ‘tummy’, “and I kept humping and humping, and I came all over the cat.” After the resurfaced clip went viral, and many fans expressed their concern, Dawson attempted to clarify that the discussion was meant as a joke in a series of tweets. He said at the time: “That story was fake and was based on a dumb awful sketch idea I had years ago that I never made.” However, that didn’t stop fans from turning his now-infamous response to the scandal into a meme, with Ethan Klein from H3H3 Productions Tweeting at the time: “I have no idea what this is about and Shane I’m sure you didn’t f**k your cat, but this is the best copy pasta on the internet ever.”

Shane Dawson’s Spotify hacked with song about cat controversy Instagram: shanedawsonYouTuber Shane Dawson’s Spotify account appears to have been hacked, after people discovered a song had been uploaded in his name titled ‘I F**ked my Cat,’ referencing his viral controversy.

Since then, he’s managed to garner over 20 million subscribers, but has also been part of his fair share of controversies.

Shane Dawson shocks fans with surprise return to social media YouTube: Shane Dawson[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Longtime YouTuber Shane Dawson has finally made his return to social media, marking nearly three months since he took an indefinite hiatus from being online after being canceled by critics over his older content and divisive behavior. While Dawson is one of YouTube’s OG content creators, he has come under the microscope multiple times in the past over some of his older videos. Some of the videos that were called out by critics included his use of blackface to portray one of his original characters for comedy sketches, as well as another video where he made inappropriate gestures toward a then-eleven-year-old Willow Smith. Dawson addressed the growing outrage surrounding his online presence during a video June, claiming he wanted to be “part of a change, not part of a problem.” In the style of YouTuber Jenna Marbles, Dawson posted his video and dipped from the internet altogether, leaving fans in the dark and critics saying “good riddance.” However, Dawson appears to have made an unofficial comeback to the online world, posting a series of images to his Instagram Story to congratulate fiance Ryland Adams on the announcement of his new pop culture talk show, “The Sip,” in September. “I wasn’t planning on coming back to the internet for a while,” Dawson wrote. “But today is a special day for my best friend, and I want to be there for him the way he has always been there for me.” While much of Dawson’s story was a loving tribute to his husband-to-be, the YouTuber also teased at a future statement regarding his absence from the internet. “I have so much I want to say, and I promise in the future I will, but today I wanna talk about Ryland.” That’s not all; Shane also post a selfie, giving fans the first look at him that they’ve had since his hiatus. “I probably won’t be back for a while, but I just wanted to say hi and support my man,” he added. “Hope you guys are having a good day.” While it doesn’t look like this YouTuber will be uploading content anytime soon, it seems that he has released some new merchandise amid his break from the net — albeit incredibly quietly, with no video announcement or fanfare, but instead with a series of posts via his merch line’s official Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTGh6vB9sL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link For now, fans are breathing a sigh of relief that he seems to be doing well, although the jury is still out on whether or not public sentiment will welcome him back with open arms.

Shane Dawson reveals why hateful comments stop him from making videos – Dexerto
Shane Dawson reveals why hateful comments stop him from making videos Shane Dawson, YouTubeLongtime YouTube star Shane Dawson has successfully kicked off his second channel after a wave of success from his viral documentary series — but fans are concerned about his seemingly sporadic upload schedule. Once known for his edgy humor and comedy sketches, Dawson is now hailed for his widely popular documentaries, covering controversial YouTubers like Jake Paul, Tana Mongeau, and even Jeffree Star. However, the YouTube documentarian is now taking a new direction with his content, after creating a second channel called “Shane Glossin’” in January that went viral shortly after being made. While it seemed like Dawson would be using his second channel to upload more frequently (with videos outside his usual documentary domain), some fans are questioning why he hasn’t been as active on the platform, which Dawson explained in a Tweet on February 19. In his post, Dawson shared a screenshot of a comment from a disgruntled viewer, who complained that the YouTuber had gained wieght and was being “enabled” by those around him. “I love Shane, but it’s a damn shame to watch him putting all this weight back on while everyone around him laughs and enables it,” the comment read. According to Dawson, it’s comments like these that push him away from YouTube, which still sting despite his historic presence as a social media mogul. “‘Hey Shane, why don’t you post more?’” he captioned the comment. “‘Why don’t you upload more?’ Well… this. You would think after 13 years on YouTube, comments wouldn’t get to me, but damn… they still feel like the very first time, haha.” Hey Shane why don’t u post more? Why don’t u upload more? Well… this 🙃 you would think after 13 years on youtube comments wouldn’t get to me but damn… they still feel like the very first time haha pic.twitter.com/c1CfJIv1Lf— Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) February 19, 2020 Thus far, the star has been met with support from fans and fellow creators alike, with even Yousef “Fouseytube” Erakat chiming in with his own wisdom on the subject. “Go read my comments,” Fousey replied. “They make me want to not exist. I wish mine were as loving as even that one. With that being said, you look great. And as long as you’re happy, to hell with that opinion.” go read my comments. they make me want to not exist. i wish mine were as loving as even that one. with that being said, you look great. and as long as you’re happy, to hell with that opinion. ❤️ — Yousef Erakat. (@fousey) February 19, 2020 It’s no secret that social media can be incredibly toxic, especially for influencers, with Shane’s honest Tweet marking yet another testament to the impact that hateful comments can have on users, no matter who they are.

Shane Dawson rumored to have lost thousands after ‘Conspiracy Series’ gets demonetized – Dexerto
Shane Dawson rumored to have lost thousands after ‘Conspiracy Series’ gets demonetized Shane Dawson, Twitter / Adobe StockPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson unveiled his new ‘Conspiracy’ series on January 30, much to the delight of his fanbase. While the first installment of the series already boasts over nine million views as of January 31, Dawson’s long-awaited documentary received the yellow dollar sign from YouTube – and he may have lost thousands due to the demonetization. Fans took notice of the issue shortly after the first episode went live, noting that its previous advertisements had been completely removed from the video altogether. sis it it just me or did this video get demonetized pic.twitter.com/wqiQliQczA — _Rad_ (@Rad43189003) January 31, 2019 While YouTube’s new algorithm could be to blame for the debacle (as the platform recently cracked down on recommendations for ‘conspiracy’ content), it so happens that Dawson used footage of a dangerous prank, which spurred the site’s automatic review system. However, YouTube has since reviewed the issue, concluding that nothing was inherently wrong with his inclusion of the footage as he was merely discussing pranks – not directly promoting them. “Sometimes we get it wrong when determining whether a video is suitable for advertising, so we encourage creators to appeal for a review if they think there’s been an error,” YouTube said of the issue. “We work quickly to restore advertising as soon as we’re made aware of a mistake.” The Verge figured that Dawson may have lost over $14 thousand in AdSense during the 12 hour window in which his video went demonetized – although their numbers are up for debate, considering the success of Dawson’s other projects. ohhh ya. i’ve never made money on my conspiracy videos and i’ve had some removed. it’s the risk of being into this dark shit i guess! love ur stuff btw!! :pray::skin-tone-2: — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 31, 2019 Dawson himself spoke on the debacle via Twitter, writing, “Oh yeah. I’ve never made money on my conspiracy videos and I’ve had some removed. It’s the risk of being into this dark shit, I guess!”

Dawson uploaded the trailer on January 18, after teasing the video with a screenshot on January 14.

Dawson hinted that the series would take a drastic turn from his usual subject matter months beforehand, following the conclusion of his Jake Paul documentary in early October of 2018. After throwing around the possibility of UFO sightings, the California wildfires, and even a discussion on YouTube’s widely-debated advertising algorithm, it appears that Dawson is taking a deep-dive into next-gen technology – more specifically, into privacy breaches created by such technology. Dawson amped up the suspense by showing what appears to be sensitive documents, and even commented that he might need to contact his lawyer. it will be…. unexpected…. and i’m going to have to change my locks after. :eye::up_red_triangle: https://t.co/Akr6Ku6oFg — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 12, 2019 The YouTuber likewise admitted that the videos for the series could be over two hours long – possibly justifying its short length of merely two episodes.

Shane Dawson reveals mysterious teaser for next documentary series – Dexerto
Shane Dawson reveals mysterious teaser for next documentary series Shane Dawson, Twitter / FreepikPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson is a familiar face on the video platform, more recently hailed for his critically-acclaimed documentary series – another one of which may be on the way, very soon. While Dawson’s past series covered the scandals of controversial YouTubers like Jeffree Star, Tana Mongeau, and Jake Paul, he has been known to branch out into conspiracy theories, as evidenced by his two videos released in early 2019. While he hasn’t spilled the beans as to what his next project is about just yet, he did give fans a cryptic teaser in the form of a few photos on June 8. Dawson uploaded three photos to Twitter, which showed his face on the viewfinder of a camera, as well as a video setup in what seems to be a hotel room. The YouTuber said nothing about the photos, besides a series of emojis: a bell, a door, a key, and a VCR tape. Dawson pinned the photos to the top of his Twitter account and has yet to Tweet again as of June 9, leaving fans seriously stumped as to what his next project could be. The most popular ongoing theory suggests that Dawson’s next series will investigate haunted hotel; although, considering his latest stint in conspiracies, it could just as easily deal with hidden cameras – a horror story that has haunted many a traveler. I love it when Shane goes to haunted locations! It gives me the spooks. — Minymaku :white_flag:️:rainbow: (@minymaku) June 8, 2019 HAUNTED HOTEL HAUNTED HOTEL HAUNTED HOTEL OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!! — Katie Smith (@kssyuhh) June 8, 2019 Dawson has likewise teased his upcoming project with makeup mogul Jeffree Star, with whom Dawson created his ‘The Secret World of Jeffree Star’ series in August 2018. Although nothing concrete has yet been revealed for their upcoming video series, the two teamed up to review Kylie Jenner’s skincare line as a “break” from filming the project, which saw a wave of buzz across social media after they effectively “shaded” the product line. In fact, Dawson’s series have been so popular that they have even incited public statements from major companies, as seen in Chuck E. Cheese’s response to his video detailing the conspiracy theory that claims the restaurant reuses old pizza slices. Whatever his next series might be, fans can’t wait for its grand reveal – the date of which has yet to be announced as of the publication of this article.

Shane Dawson reveals new details on latest show involving Jeffree Star Shane Dawson, Twitter / Jeffree Star, InstagramPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson is already filming his next documentary series – and it involves celebrity makeup guru Jeffree Star, once again. Dawson dropped more details on his upcoming series in a Tweet on March 7, where he admitted that the documentary will have two seasons filmed over the course of seven months, possibly split between summer and fall. While Dawson isn’t concrete on the release dates for the show, he claimed to be filming other series in between his current project. Update :man::skin-tone-2::laptop::man::skin-tone-2::laptop::heart:️ pic.twitter.com/gv3WJsRi2Y — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) March 7, 2019 Attached to the Tweet were two photos of Star and Dawson at what looks to be a reveal event for the Morphe x Jeffree Star collection, (where Dawson was admittedly a bit shaken up by the crowd). The YouTubers revealed their upcoming series in December of 2018, after Star tweeted about the development following their first series in August of that same year. With Dawson and Star’s original series garnering over a whopping 110 million views, it stands to reason that the two would come together again for another project – although the premise of this documentary remains a mystery. Shane’s latest series delved into the world of conspiracy theories, with discussions on Walt Disney’s cryogenically frozen body and even Chuck E. Cheese reusing pizza slices, which the restaurant vehemently denied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bhiiFwUdU8However, it looks like Dawson may be returning to the world of celebrity YouTubers, following his massively successful series covering Jake Paul and his allegedly “sociopathic” personality traits.

Dawson published a tweet addressing the issue on February 4, where he explained his reasoning for pushing the episode back. “Just a reminder that both parts are an hour and 45 minutes each,” Dawson wrote. “Made by two guys. Uploaded for free. And I probably won’t post for another couple months, so I’m more than happy to take extra time to make it great.

Dawson’s first episode in the series was demonetized within the first few hours of its release on January 30, due to showing footage of a controversial ‘Bird Box’ challenge video. While many speculated that the demonetization may have been due to YouTube’s new stance against ‘conspiracy’ content, the site later admitted that it was a mistake, due to its automatic review system. Dawson himself recognized the danger in uploading such content in a Tweet responding to the debacle, claiming that such accidents are merely “the risk of being into this dark shit.” ohhh ya. i’ve never made money on my conspiracy videos and i’ve had some removed. it’s the risk of being into this dark shit i guess! love ur stuff btw!! :pray::skin-tone-2: — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 31, 2019

Shane Dawson responds to criticism following Jake Paul ‘Sociopath’ video – Dexerto
Shane Dawson responds to criticism following Jake Paul ‘Sociopath’ video Popular YouTuber Shane Dawson has responded to criticisms following the latest episode of his docuseries covering social media star Jake Paul, where he teases the idea that many YouTubers could have Antisocial Personality Disorder. In the video, Dawson visits with therapist and YouTuber Kati Morton, who discusses the textbook symptoms of sociopaths. The video was edited much like a horror film, with disturbing music and dramatic cuts to YouTubers and celebrities exhibiting ‘sociopathic behavior.’ Dawson himself stated in the video that he was ‘100% NOT insinuating’ that any of the people shown were sociopaths – but his message didn’t put audiences at ease. Fans of Dawson and Paul alike took to Twitter to express their concerns over the matter, stating that Dawson’s handling of the mental disorder unfairly stigmatized those who have it. ok I stan @shanedawson but this new series creates a dangerous dynamic of unqualified people wrongly diagnosing mental disorders & dehumanizing & stigmatizing people with mental disorders. Take this as entertainment & nothing more — jesse saint john (@jessesaintjohn) September 28, 2018 While Dawson expressed that he understood fans’ issue with the video, he likewise defended himself, citing sociopaths’ lack of empathy and emotion. Read More: Are your favorite YouTubers sociopaths? Shane Dawson’s latest docuseries explores the possibility – “People with severe antisocial personality disorders don’t have empathy and don’t care,” he wrote in a Tweet responding to criticism. “At all. So, for anyone to be offended is so confusing to me, considering they actually literally don’t care. Like. At all. And it’s something that is rarely even discussed and it can affect lives.” He then went on to state that he felt he was helping spread awareness of the condition, and cited the world’s dangerous environment of shootings and sexual assaults. While Dawson’s series over Paul was already under massive scrutiny, this latest episode further fuels the fire – and gives the video itself more attention. ‘The Dark Side of Jake Paul’ is currently at the #2 trending spot on YouTube, and boasts over 12 million views, vying to usurp Dawon’s previous projects over Jeffree Star and TanaCon.

Shane Dawson releases highly-anticipated second episode of Conspiracy Series on YouTube – Dexerto
Shane Dawson releases highly-anticipated second episode of Conspiracy Series on YouTube Shane Dawson has been tackling a wide variety of topics with his Conspiracy Series on YouTube, and the latest episode features some of the most intense conspiracies yet. The popular YouTuber blazed through 2018 with a trio of well-received documentary series focused on controversial YouTubers Tana Mongeau, Jeffree Star, and Jake Paul. For his newest series, titled Conspiracy Series, Dawson has gone outside the bounds of the platform to investigate various conspiracy theories and mysteries from around the internet. While the first episode of the docuseries covered several different topics, the February 11 episode hones in on just three. The bulk of the video features a deep dive into the life of Brittani Louise Taylor, a YouTuber who released a book detailing her struggles with domestic abuse in December 2018. Throughout the lengthy interview with Taylor, Dawson uncovers the many secrets that Taylor’s relationship with the father of her son held and discovers the extent of abuse that she suffered over the last few years. In the 90-plus minute video, Dawson also takes a deep dive into a haunting conspiracy involving the popular restaurant chain Chucky E. Cheese along with an equally haunting voice mimicking computer software. Given the fairly intense and intricate subjects that Dawson tackles in his latest video, the reasons behind his widely discussed speed bumps and struggles with putting out the episode become all the more clear. On February 8, after some fans had begun to grow restless waiting for the episode, Dawson addressed fans on Twitter, explaining that “[the episode is] not a typical conspiracy video…it’s a story about someone close to me who had their life ruined by someone for fame and money.” Despite having teased multiple episodes to the series, fans will be disappointed to hear that Dawson made no mention of any more installments to Conspiracy Series in his latest video.

Shane Dawson responds amid Jeffree Star & James Charles controversy – Dexerto
Shane Dawson responds amid Jeffree Star & James Charles controversy YT: ShanePopular American YouTuber Shane Dawson has responded following allegations he and Jeffree Star were ultimately behind last year’s ‘dramageddon’, which saw Tati Westbrook level numerous allegations at James Charles. The amount of drama in YouTube’s beauty scene is becoming difficult to keep track of. Jeffree Star, among others, is facing unsavoury allegations from a host of his ex-employees and friends. It is one of his ex-models – Kameron Lester – who has played a major part in this ongoing controversy. Lester, in a lengthy Instagram TV broadcast, levelled multiple allegations against Star, including the fact that the make-up mogul was regularly in contact with Shane Dawson. Their conversation allegedly settled on James Charles, and their feelings regarding the YouTuber. The conversations Lester references have caused many to settle on the idea that Star and Dawson were behind Tati Westbrook’s video on James Charles – entitled ‘BYE SISTER’. The video ‘exposed’ James Charles, but Charles has since responded and Westbrook retracted a host of allegations. Now, responding to the accusations that he was part of the campaign against James Charles, Dawson has attacked the beauty industry on YouTube, and defended himself on multiple fronts. While he admits to knowing that Tati Westbrook was going to make the video on Charles, he refutes that he was a motivating factor behind it. He also states that he has never “tried to ruin a career or make someone look bad in my 15 years on YouTube”. The screenshots from the deleted tweet can be found below: Dawson essentially stated his desire to remove himself from any future drama, and that he did not warn Charles about the video. However, he stated that the pair have discussed the matter in private and he will not make the conversation public. Furthermore, he hit out at YouTube’s beauty and make-up scene, claiming it is full of people who have become “obsessed with looks, money, power, fame, screenshots and subtweets”. He has since explained why he deleted the tweet, stating that: “But I don’t want this energy in my life or on my timeline. I’m too sensitive for this shit and I’m done.” I deleted everything. I’m done. For those who wanted me to “address it” I did. I’m sure u can find it reposted somewhere. But I don’t want this energy in my life or on my timeline. I’m too sensitive for this shit and I’m done. — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) June 21, 2020 Jeffree Star, for his part in the ongoing drama, defended himself on the Mom’s Basement Podcast, asking why he would try and “drag” James Charles, when he has no need to. As much as this drama seems to be dragging on, it doesn’t seem that we’ve heard the end of it yet.

Shane Dawson postpones Jake Paul docuseries release ahead of Alissa Violet episodes – Dexerto
Shane Dawson postpones Jake Paul docuseries release ahead of Alissa Violet episodes YouTube / InstagramYouTuber Shane Dawson’s docuseries over social media star Jake Paul has taken a sudden hiatus just ahead of its episodes covering Paul’s relationship with ex-girlfriend Alissa Violet. Shane broke the news in a Tweet on October 4, where he revealed that he was skipping his upload schedule of Monday/Wednesday/Friday to take extra time developing the series’ fifth episode. “Part five and six coming Monday and Wednesday,” he wrote. “We wanted to release Part Five tomorrow, but we underestimated how much footage we had and we wanna make sure it’s perfect!” Part 5 & 6 Coming Monday & Wednesday :pray::skin-tone-2::heart:️ We wanted to release part 5 tomorrow but we underestimated how much footage we had and we wanna make sure it’s perfect! pic.twitter.com/9mfOnCFpag — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) October 4, 2018 Dawson likewise stated that he was ‘reworking’ the series in an earlier Tweet, which could hint at even further investigation into Paul’s well-documented past. Part five will likely cover Jake Paul’s controversial relationship with Alissa Violet, as hinted at by a voicemail Dawson received toward the end of the series’ fourth episode. A now-deleted vlog of Paul’s shows the YouTuber spitting on Violet, who came forward with allegations of emotional and verbal abuse concerning their relationship. Paul himself admitted that discussing Violet was his biggest fear for the docuseries, admitting that it was difficult to open up to Dawson about the issue in a video addressing concerns around the series’ reception. “That’s definitely the part I’m most nervous about,” he said in response to a fan’s question on the matter. While Dawson’s series has been the center of recent speculation over its handling of the term ‘sociopath,’ it continues to break records, and regularly sits in the top trending videos on YouTube with each release. With part 5 being hyped up ahead of its release, there’s no telling what tea will be spilled in regards to Paul and Violet’s relationship – or what further secrets of the Paul family might be revealed.

Shane Dawson releases “crazy” footage from robbery attempt – Dexerto
Shane Dawson releases “crazy” footage from robbery attempt Shane Dawson, YouTubeYouTube star-turned-beauty guru Shane Dawson has released extensive footage from an attempted robbery that took place in October, which was teased in an episode of his 2019 series with Jeffree Star. In the first episode of his documentary series “The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star,” Dawson and fiance Ryland Adams revealed they’d had to call law enforcement to their home due to the presence of unwanted intruders. A short, dramatic clip of the break-in featured footage of Ryland holding a baseball bat, with Dawson showing a phone call to 911 — a disturbing incident that was expounded upon in his latest video uploaded to his new channel, “Shane Glossin.” (Footage begins at 2:30 for mobile readers) Under this new moniker, Dawson revealed the ordeal in its entirety, showcasing security camera footage that revealed the presence of a hooded stranger walking outside the house as Ryland spoke to police on the phone. The camera then went dark, with sounds of persistent knocking sending Dawson into a panic as he whispered, “Oh my god,” in fear. (Footage begins at 1:30 for mobile viewers) The spine-chilling moment was preceded by a voicemail from Jeffree Star, who expressed relief that Shane had recorded the incident on film as further proof of the invasion and advised him to amp up security on the property. Dawson later explained the invaders’ motivation, claiming that they’d been trying to steal his “Conspiracy” makeup palette ahead of launch. “Jeffree said, ‘Listen, once we start doing this palette, people are gonna start coming for you,’” the YouTuber recalled. “I thought he meant like on Twitter, haters or something. He meant in real life, and they would try to come to my house and rob me, and find our makeup palette and steal it and f**king counterfeit it.” The YouTuber later claimed that the would-be robber climbed over his fence and made their way into his home via the garage, prompting him to try and lock the door at the exact moment they tried to open it. The break-in followed the notable robbery of Star’s warehouse in April, which resulted in the black market sale of his concealer line before it had been released to the public. Thankfully, both Dawson and Ryland emerged from the terrifying ordeal unscathed — but the blood curdling footage acts as a chilling reminder of the consequences that internet stardom can bring.

Shane Dawson explains how getting ‘canceled’ was actually a good thing – Dexerto
Shane Dawson explains how getting ‘canceled’ was actually a good thing INSTAGRAM: SHANEDAWSONShane Dawson has opened up about being infamously ‘canceled’ by the internet in 2020, after old problematic videos came to light. Dawson apologized in 2020 for his old and offensive content, which included blackface, racism, and jokes about pedophilia. However, social media users were not forgiving, as he lost over 400,000 subscribers following the apology video. This led him to take a 1-year social media break, after claiming that his career was “over.” He returned to posting YouTube content again in 2021, although he’s not as active as he used to be. Although he lost many fans due to his problematic past and drama, Dawson has recently revealed that being ‘canceled’ has its positive perks. Shane Dawson glad that he was ‘canceled’ During a recent podcast episode with Perez Hilton, the YouTuber explained: “I really think the universe and God, or whatever, really planned it this way because I was at a point before I got canceled where I didn’t wanna be around anymore. I was so burnt out.” Dawson added: “I started therapy for an eating disorder and all the other stuff and then oddly enough, two months maybe even sooner, I started therapy, I got canceled and it was like, ‘Oh.’ That felt very designed to me by something.” He revealed that after having enough time to reflect, he’s now able to create content that he likes, and focus on his podcast ‘The Shane Dawson Podcast.’ “Now I can see what the bigger purpose is, and I do, and I’m so grateful to be where I am, and for my family, and to not be freaking out every f**king day, like, ‘What am I going to make? ‘What am I going to make? How am I going to top it? Are people going to be mad?’ It really was never ending.” Despite losing some of his fanbase due to past controversies, Dawson’s new videos continue to amass millions of views on YouTube.

Shane Dawson leaks more details for his mysterious ‘Conspiracy’ docuseries Shane Dawson, YouTube – TwitterPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson released an official trailer for his upcoming docuseries on January 19 – but that wasn’t the end of the reveals. Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem got in touch with Dawson out of curiosity, hoping to get a first glimpse into what the series is really about. According to text messages between the two YouTubers, Dawson’s series will “expose a fake YouTube relationship” – as well as “expose a company,” which Dawson claimed could get him sued. Additionally, Dawson sent KEEMSTAR yet another trailer for the series, which KEEM included as part of his Drama Alert segment. While the trailer in question features stock footage of a flying jet, a creepy baby doll, and a sign denoting Area 51, it also gave a glimpse into Dawson’s previous interview with Hollywood Life – specifically when the host asked Dawson about his earlier series over YouTube stars Tana Mongeau and Jeffree Star. While it is unclear if this segment hints at an important facet of Dawson’s upcoming documentary, his initial trailer denoted a deep dive into next-gen technology – more specifically, into possible privacy breaches created by such technology. Featuring such tech as DeepFakes, facial recognition, and the Amazon Echo, Dawson’s series could very well expose a major tech company (although the “fake YouTube relationship” has yet to be determined from what evidence fans have thus far). The two-part series is set to drop on Wednesday, January 30, with episodes possibly running over two hours long, according to Dawson’s previous Tweets on the subject.

Shane Dawson loses 400,000 YouTube subs following apology video – Dexerto
Shane Dawson loses 400,000 YouTube subs following apology video YouTube: Shane DawsonShane Dawson has seen his YouTube subscriber numbers take a tumble, losing 400,000 subs since June 23 as fans continue to walk away from his channel. Ever since joining the platform all the way back in 2008, Shane Dawson has been creating original content – rising to stardom through the years. However, his channel is currently in the midst of freefall when it comes to subscriber numbers. The exodus of fans began on June 23, with 100,000 deciding to unsubscribe. On June 26, the 31-year-old uploaded an apology video where he addressed claims that a number of his previous uploads were racist, as admitted that he was ashamed that he had mocked racial stereotypes and even used blackface. Since then, the number of fans who have decided to walk away from his channel has only continued to grow. According to SocialBlade, a website that tracks social media stats and YouTube subscriber numbers, Dawson has lost 100,000 subscribers each day since his apology video was uploaded. The exit of fans has also seen his channel even dip below 23,000,000 subscribers. However, plenty of viewers are still watching his videos. On June 28, the channel gained 1,331,856 new video views – though, he had lost 1,194,593,422 on June 27, presumably as videos were being deleted. While many fans may have unsubscribed following the racist allegations put towards Dawson, the YouTuber also came under fire from Jaden Smith on June 27. The musician and actor tweeted that he was “disgusted” that Shane had ‘sexualized’ his sister, Willow Smith, who happened to be 11-years-old when Dawson made his joke – with his post getting over 855,000 likes and 144,000 retweets. It remains to be as seen to whether or not even more fans will unsubscribe from Shane Dawson in the coming days, or if the current exodus is the biggest bit of backlash that he will face.

Shane Dawson hints at next series with mysterious new hashtag Shane Dawson, Twitter / Symonenko Viktoriia, ShutterstockPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson may have given clues about his next major project, thanks to a mysterious new hashtag he used in a Tweet on November 25. In the Tweet, Dawson asked his audience to recommend any “theories” they wanted him to discuss, instructing them to use the hashtag ‘#SDconspiracytheories.’ “Doing research 👁🔺,” Dawson wrote, using emojis to indicate the Illuminati symbol. “If there’s a theory you want me to discuss, Tweet it to me with #SDconspiracytheories.” doing research :eye::up_red_triangle: if there’s a theory you want me to discuss tweet it to me with #SDconspiracytheories — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) November 26, 2018 This isn’t the first time Dawson has considered conspiracy theories, either; this latest Tweet follows a previous post he made on November 13, where he toyed with the idea of creating a documentary series about extraterrestrials. “I think I just found my next series,” Dawson wrote, linking a video of TIME’s investigation into UFO sightings by three Irish commercial pilots. “Aliens… please make contact and then come talk to me on my couch? 👽🙏🏻☕️” i think i just found my next series. aliens….. please make contact and then come talk to me on my couch? :alien::pray::skin-tone-2:☕️https://t.co/8gDsdNUf1W — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) November 13, 2018 Since posting the Tweet, Dawson has considered the scandal around SMOSH parent company Defy Media, the California fires, and even a documentary over YouTube’s widely-debated viewership algorithm – which Dawson humorously remarked could turn into a “thousand-part series.” Dawson’s latest documentary series over controversial YouTuber Jake Paul received critical acclaim across the platform, breaking records and even receiving more views than major Netflix shows. creating yet another installment to the Jake Paul series after his breakup with YouTuber Erika Costell. However, it looks like Paul has already taken up that mantle, delving into their split of his own accord in his new series, ‘Jake Paul Uncut.’

Shane Dawson hints at YouTube return after long break following controversies – Dexerto
Shane Dawson hints at YouTube return after long break following controversies YouTube: Shane DawsonYouTube OG Shane Dawson has been absent from the platform for nearly a year after undergoing intense criticism for his past content — but a recent community post may hint at his upcoming return. Shane Dawson was one of YouTube’s first uber-popular content creators, best known for his comedic skits and later for his feature-length documentary series. However, in early 2020, Dawson found himself facing the ire of the internet over his older videos and podcast episodes. From telling a seriously weird story about his pet cat to making inappropriate comments about a young Willow Smith and coming up with racist caricatures for his skits, many of Dawson’s past videos were put under the microscope, causing him to release a viral apology video addressing the matter. However, the outrage continued to rise after Tati Westbrook accused him of orchestrating the drama surrounding James Charles in summer 2019, leading Dawson to step away from the internet indefinitely. Nearly a year later, Dawson may have hinted at a comeback to content creation, as told in a March 24 community post on his secondary YouTube channel, Shane Glossin’. “Sorry I haven’t been online in a while,” he wrote. “Just been taking time for my mental health. But I’ve been getting creative and editing again! It’s been really fun. Check out Ryland’s new video that I edited. I’m really proud of it.” This isn’t the first time Dawson has teased a comeback; he appeared in fiancé Ryland Adam’s YouTube video in February, a month prior to his latest community post, where he laughingly said, “I know that I’m weird, and I know that my career’s over.” While Dawson has made the occasional social media post now and then in wake of the drama, this appears to be the first major stride he’s taken toward a proper return, although the response to his comeback has been decidedly negative among commenters. For now, all users can do is wait and see if Dawson really does return to YouTube, or if the vehement response to his latest post will make him think twice about uploading content again.

Shane Dawson gives honest assessment of Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul’s relationship – Dexerto
Shane Dawson gives honest assessment of Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul’s relationship Tana Mongeau, Instagram / Clevver News, YouTubeYouTube stars Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul “unofficially” tied the knot after just two months of dating, but some fans aren’t convinced that the couple will last – and one top YouTuber isn’t solid on their relationship, either. Popular YouTuber Shane Dawson gave his thoughts on their marriage during an interview with Clevver News on August 22, where he claimed that he had “a lot of questions” regarding the legitimacy of their union. “Have they even seen each other?” the YouTuber questioned, likely due to Mongeau skipping her honeymoon due to a family emergency. “There’s a lot of questions. But I also don’t care about the answers. And I’m thirty-one. Know what I mean?” (Timestamp: 7:25 for mobile viewers) Dawson likewise threw some subtle shade toward the couple for getting married so soon, after debunking rumors that he’d cautioned Mongeau against tying the knot with Paul. “You know those people who you’re like, I love them, they’re like family… but there’s certain things where you just don’t look at it?” Dawson continued. “That’s one of them. …I don’t know, it’s weird.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B02MToGh8lR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe YouTube star also reacted to rumors of Paul cheating with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell: although he didn’t make any verbal statements on the subject, his exaggerated “shocked” expressions spoke for him. Paul himself has denied any involvement with the scandal, claiming that he wasn’t actually in the viral photos taken by fan, with older brother Logan Paul backing up his explanation of the debacle. Dawson’s thoughts on the young YouTubers’ union follows his highly-acclaimed documentary series over Jake Paul in late 2018, which was met with some controversy due to his treatment of the term “sociopath.” Dawson also based a series around Tana Mongeau that same year, following the disastrous aftermath of her “TanaCon” event, which was meant to rival “VidCon.” With both YouTubers having been the subject of Dawsons’ docuseries, their union “makes sense” to him, but he advised both parties to focus on their own projects in light of the drama surrounding their marriage – a wedding that Mongeau admitted wasn’t actually legal.

Shane Dawson has hilarious interaction with Dr. Phil ahead of new series – Dexerto
Shane Dawson has hilarious interaction with Dr. Phil ahead of new series Shane Dawson, YouTube / Dr. Phil, TwitterPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson has had his fair share of celebrity interactions – but one of his more notable star-studded run-ins took a hilarious turn. Dawson retweeted a post from American psychologist and television show host Dr. Phil on March 6, which included a photo of the celeb wearing a plain T-shirt (instead of his iconic suit and tie combo) with the simple caption, “T-shirt time.” “It’s like looking into my future,” Dawson jokingly said of the post, adding a heart-eyed emoji to further add to the humor. It’s like looking into my future :lovestruck: https://t.co/iCLffrSYfm — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) March 6, 2019 The YouTuber’s Tweet didn’t go unnoticed; Dr. Phil himself came across the post shortly thereafter and gave a light-hearted reply, writing, “Looks like a bright future to me!” While Dawson didn’t give a direct response to Dr. Phil’s follow-up, he made sure to retweet it, giving the post a spot on his timeline for posterity. This interaction comes ahead of Dawson’s upcoming documentary series, which is centered around celebrity makeup guru Jeffree Star. Although no concrete details have been given as to the series’ contents, Dawson admitted that it will have two seasons split between summer and fall – and is being filmed over a grueling seven month period. In the meantime, Dawson is focusing on other projects, which will include “people and subjects” that his fans are sure to find “interesting.” Dawson’s latest series covered multiple conspiracy theories, such as Walt Disney’s cryogenically frozen body and even Chuck E. Cheese reusing pizza slices – which the restaurant vehemently denied after the documentary caused a stir online.

Shane Dawson fires back at trolls for insulting his weight – Dexerto
Shane Dawson fires back at trolls for insulting his weight Shane Dawson, YouTubeYouTube star Shane Dawson took a hiatus from social media after revealing rude comments on his videos that insulted his weight — but now, he’s firing back with a pointed response to the haters. Dawson opened up about his seemingly sporadic upload schedule in a soul-bearing Tweet on February 19, which included a screenshot of a hateful message that targeted his body. “I love Shane, but it’s a d**n shame to watch him putting all this weight back on while everyone around him laughs and enables it,” the commenter wrote. Hey Shane why don’t u post more? Why don’t u upload more? Well… this 🙃 you would think after 13 years on youtube comments wouldn’t get to me but damn… they still feel like the very first time haha pic.twitter.com/c1CfJIv1Lf— Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) February 19, 2020 The YouTuber admitted that comments like these prevent him from uploading on a regular basis, and announced that he would be taking a step back from social media due to the rude trolls and being in a “weird headspace.” Now, Dawson has made his return to YouTube with another video, where he gave an explicit message to any haters hoping to body-shame him in future uploads. Thanks for the nice tweets. I appreciate it a lot. Sorry I got sensitive and posted that. I usually just ignore stuff but I’m just in a weird headspace lately :/ I think I’m gonna take a break from the internet for a bit. Thanks for being supportive and having my back ❤️ — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) February 19, 2020 His March 6 upload opened with a montage of celebrity news hosts discussing his Tweet, later panning to a shot of the star working out on a stationary bike alongside his personal trainer in a small gym. “Listen, my only response is gonna be ‘f**k you,’” he said of the issue. “People who make fun of people’s weight, or attack people’s weight, literally f**k you. You’re gonna die soon. I know it. I can feel it. I’m a psychic.” That’s not all: he went on to reveal that he will no longer be talking about his weight or joking about the matter, and even gave some well-intentioned advice to those suffering from fat-shaming comments online. “Don’t let things that people say on the internet bother you,” he advised. “…whatever people are saying about you is just a projection of how they feel about themselves, or they just want attention.” (Segment begins at 1:46 for mobile readers) It’s no secret that social media can be toxic, especially towards those with a massive online following — but Dawson isn’t going to give his haters the satisfaction of letting their words affect him any longer, and we’re here for it.

Shane Dawson gives his brutally honest opinion on Jake Paul – Dexerto
Shane Dawson gives his brutally honest opinion on Jake Paul YouTuber Shane Dawson told all in an interview with The Hollywood Fix regarding his documentary series on Jake Paul – who he feels isn’t ‘a great guy.’ Dawson commented on the current state of Team 10, which is now undergoing a reorganization after the exit of several YouTubers – despite Paul’s apparent niceties. “I don’t think he’s a great guy,” Dawson said in response to the Fix’s cameraman. “I think he’s better now… he’s young. At that point, he was a monster… I think now he’s realized that this isn’t the way to live.” In fact, Dawson placed Paul in the top three YouTubers he’s worked with thus far, claiming that he was ‘humble’ and ‘accommodating’ during his visit to the Team 10 house. He also spoke on the 2017 incident between former Team 10 assistant Meg Zelly and FaZe Banks, whom Zelly claimed had assaulted her in a nightclub. While Dawson had heard Zelly’s voicemails from that night, he feels that she was never assaulted, and that the entire incident was blown out of proportion because she had been drunk. “I don’t think FaZe purposefully hurt anybody,” Shane said, again calling Banks by the wrong name. “I don’t think Jake planned it. I think it was more, he jumped on it to ruin Banks’s career – which was bad.” Dawson also compared Jake Paul to Michael Jackson, finding similarities between Jackson’s famed Neverland Ranch and the legoland-esque art in the Team 10 house, alongside their reactions to their massive fame. Dawson’s previous series over TanaCon won him a Streamy award for Creator of the Year – which he wasn’t present to receive, as he was, instead, filming the interview with The Hollywood Fix.

Shane Dawson finally releases new ‘Conspiracy Series’ documentary on YouTube – Dexerto
Shane Dawson finally releases new ‘Conspiracy Series’ documentary on YouTube After teasing the release of his new docuseries for weeks, popular YouTuber Shane Dawson has finally dropped part one of the series centered on various conspiracy theories. Shane Dawson skyrocketed towards the upper echelons of YouTube in 2018 with the release of a series of documentaries focused on different controversial members on Youtube. After most recently covering Jake Paul for last Fall’s eight-part series, Dawson has moved on to a new topic altogether with his latest documentary. While the inspiration for Dawson’s latest YouTube docuseries seemingly started with him thinking about aliens, things seem to have changed on the way. Rather than looking at extraterrestrial beings, Dawson instead takes a deep dive into the many different conspiracy theories that have run rampant over the last few years. With such a broad range of topics to cover, it’s no surprise that the video is quite hefty, clocking in at a whopping one hour and 44 minutes. ‘Conspiracy Series, Part 1’ starts out by focusing on a major conspiracy surrounding the recent wildfires that ravaged California before looking into other popular conspiracies dealing with the infamous DeepFakes and various bizarre iPhone glitches. As the title signifies, this isn’t the only video that Dawson has planned either, as he teases another five entries to the series where he’ll be “going even further down the rabbit hole.” The initial scenes of the video were timestamped with a date of December 1, 2018, meaning he certainly has plenty of footage to work with. We stayed up all night trying to finish and were gonna need a few more hours. pic.twitter.com/tl5AnCkSW2 — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 30, 2019 If Dawson’s eight-part docuseries on Jake Paul – weighing in at almost seven hours over the course of eight episodes – is any indication, we could be in for a long journey with this latest ‘Conspiracy Series.’ Despite having plenty of teases for the next episode, Dawson has yet to give a release for part two of the series.

Shane Dawson finally reveals date for his next documentary series – Dexerto
Shane Dawson finally reveals date for his next documentary series Shane Dawson, YouTube / FreepikLongtime YouTuber Shane Dawson is a well-known face on the video platform, having skyrocketed to further fame following his documentary series over controversial internet stars like Jeffree Star, Tana Mongeau, and even Jake Paul – and now, after months of waiting, his next project finally has a release date. While Dawson teased the documentary in a series of cryptic photos in late June, fans didn’t get a release date for the project until much later, when he published a Tweet admitting that he would upload “something else” in July, following his upcoming “Ugly Side of the Beauty World” in fall 2019. However, fans were left in the dark as to a date for the project – that is, until July 13. Ugly Side of the Beauty World series in the fall and possibly something else in july. some stuff happened that threw a wrench in the conspiracy series but i’ll explain soon. but the series in the fall is A LOT..so trust me, you’ll be sick of me by the end of the year haha :grimacing: https://t.co/AVO2eOxhvb — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) June 30, 2019 Dawson posted yet another series of photos to Twitter that revealed the due date for his next video for the week of July 14, showing a series of empty soda cans lined up on his kitchen counter. “This can only mean one thing,” Dawson wrote of the mess. “New video coming… this week!” :raised_hands::skin-tone-2::eyes::raised_hands::skin-tone-2: pic.twitter.com/piK3PqTDQQ — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) July 13, 2019 Although fans are aware of his joint project with Jeffree Star coming later in the year, they’re still relatively in the dark as to the subject matter of his July release – but his photos from June might provide a hint as to his forthcoming series. The YouTuber posted a slew of pictures to Twitter that showed what appeared to be a video setup inside of a hotel room, with his face featured in the viewfinder of his camera. Fans shared their theories across the net, with some speculating that Dawson’s teaser hinted at his investigation of a haunted hotel, an idea that he has toyed with before in previous uploads. Considering his recent stint in conspiracy theories, however, his latest video may investigate hidden cameras in hotel rooms – although no one is certain of this theory, just yet. I love it when Shane goes to haunted locations! It gives me the spooks. — Minymaku (@minymaku) June 8, 2019 Thus far, Dawson has kept tight-lipped in regards to his next release, making his fans wait with bated breath before diving into another drama-filled roller coaster ride of content – which could be as wildly successful as his previous series.

Shane Dawson explains why he left James Charles scandal out of series – Dexerto
Shane Dawson explains why he left James Charles scandal out of series Longtime YouTube star Shane Dawson rocked the online beauty community with the release of his new series “The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star” – but fans noticed that a major component was missing from the documentary. Before his series went live, Dawson teased his reaction to the drama surrounding beauty guru James Charles, who was the center of a worldwide scandal after being “exposed” by mentor Tati Westbrook in early May. Although Dawson’s trailer included his signature “shocked” expression to the news, the drama itself was never featured in his latest series – something he later explained in a lengthy Instagram Live video on November 7. According to Dawson, he’d actually created three episodes covering the scandal, but chose not to include the issue for fear of damaging the reputations of those involved, claiming that all parties had moved on from the blowup. “The message is egos, jealousy, entitlement, narcissism, and everything you could imagine in the beauty world in one thing by all the people at the same time,” Dawson explained. “And they all, I think, realized that. …I think everyone has grown immensely from that situation.” That’s not all: Shane likewise admitted to regretting including the issue in his trailer, and claimed that Charles had expressed apprehension at having to potentially deal with mass backlash, yet again. Read More: Jake Paul hints at “moving on” from YouTube – “I should’ve never put the drama in the trailer,” he continued. “I shouldn’t have done that, but I did it because I thought that’s what the series was. So now, I feel kind of stuck because I don’t want people to think that I am a fraud or that I lied.” (Shane’s video begins at 0:33 for mobile viewers) While the YouTuber initially thought his audience would only be interested in the drama, it turns out that much of the internet is going gaga over the business side of the industry – so much so, that his collaboration with Star completely sold out shortly after going live. I cant believe it. everything in the conspiracy collection sold out. i cant believe how supportive u guys have been through this. i genuinely cant put into words how overwhelmed i’m feeling. we’re internet dinosaurs and the fact that you guys are still there for us is insane :,) pic.twitter.com/0gRgLtuuE2 — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) November 2, 2019 Having curated one of the most successful moments of his career, Dawson is flying high, leaving one of YouTube’s biggest scandals in the past – likely, for the better.

Shane Dawson exposes SMOSH parent company in brutal video – Dexerto
Shane Dawson exposes SMOSH parent company in brutal video Ryland Adams, YouTubePopular YouTuber Shane Dawson sat down with boyfriend Ryland Adams to detail their experiences with SMOSH parent company Defy Media, who underwent massive criticism after their sudden shutdown in early November. Adams spoke on his hosting work with YouTube channel Clevver, which was likewise under the Defy umbrella, claiming that he was threatened with legal charges “literally every single day for about three months,” should he come out with a ‘Why Left Clevver’ video. Additionally, Adams was made to sign an ‘MCN,’ which allowed Defy to take a percentage of his earnings from ad revenue in an effort to prevent him from creating the video in question (ultimately to avoid being sued by the company). “For them, it was a way to for them to screw me over but let me out of my full time job at Clevver,” Adams stated. Adams also claimed that Defy withheld their checks before closing, insinuating that the company had used the funds to allegedly settle their own debt – and even accused Defy of having a “brainwashing, cult mentality” toward their YouTubers. Dawson likewise came forward with allegations against Defy, claiming that one Clevver Style employee was only getting paid “1/100th” of what the channel itself was making, despite her hard work. “It is disgusting,” Dawson expressed. “And companies like Defy …they find YouTubers, they make them work super hard, and they pay them nothing – and they’re not honest about how much the channels themselves are making.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0664514/mediaviewer/rm524892160 Defy was hit with multiple class-action lawsuits in the weeks following their closure, both from former employees and companies partnered with Defy, alike. If won, Defy faces massive financial restitution to the plaintiffs – which could include paying its former employees the equivalent of 60 days of work.

Shane Dawson explains why he privately apologized to Charli D’Amelio – Dexerto
Shane Dawson explains why he privately apologized to Charli D’Amelio Shane Dawson, Charli D’Amelio – YouTube[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star Shane Dawson explained to fans that he had to apologize to TikTok star Charli D’Amelio due to a misunderstanding over his criticism of the short-form video platform. Shane Dawson and fiancee Ryland Adams have been vocal about their concerns regarding TikTok in the past, with Adams notably calling out many of the site’s viral dance trends for being “wildly inappropriate.” However, Dawson himself wasn’t under fire due to his thoughts on the platform; instead, the documentarian claimed he’d received criticism after fans assumed he’d thrown shade at Charli D’Amelio during his fiancee’s April 29 vlog. “It was a 15-year-old girl,” Dawson said in the video. “It was on my ‘For You’ page, and the song said, [redacted], and she was just like [dances]. She lip-synced! What is going on?” (Topic begins at 7:20) Instead, Dawson clarified that he had criticized another TikTokker for dancing to a song that contained explicit lyrics. “Charli, I’ve spoken to, we’ve talked in the DMs,” he explained when he and Adams brought up the topic during their June 18 video. “I had to reach out to her and apologize. People thought I was shading her in one of Ryland’s videos.” “I don’t think I was,” he continued. “I was talking about a girl I saw on a beach dancing to a song that said, ‘I got two d**ks!’ And everyone thought I was talking about Charli.” (Topic begins at 8:33) The YouTuber also made it clear that he has nothing but love for TikTok’s most-followed content creator, who rose to the top of the site over former leader Loren Grey in late March. As previously mentioned, Adams and Dawson have spoken at length about their issues with TikTok in the past, with Ryland having notably spoken out against offensive trends that have gone viral on the app — including one that made fun of disabled individuals. “I have a lot of issues with TikTok being problematic to begin with,” he stated in an April 29 YouTube video. “There’s a lot of trends that really offend me in a large way.” Luckily, it seems to be all love between the app’s reigning Queen and YouTube’s star documentarian, in spite of his concerns about the platform.

Shane Dawson explains why he’s creating a third YouTube channel – Dexerto
Shane Dawson explains why he’s creating a third YouTube channel YouTuber Shane Dawson confused fans on January 2, after he created a brand-new YouTube channel in wake of his successful makeup collaboration with fellow internet celeb Jeffree Star. Dawson is a familiar face on YouTube, having started his journey on the platform in 2005. He has since gone on to become one of its biggest content creators in recent memory, and boasts over 23 million subscribers. Known at first for his skits and edgy humor, the YouTuber went on to become a celebrated documentarian, centering on the lives of controversial figures like Jake Paul, Tana Mongeau and Jeffree Star. Now, it seems that one of the site’s biggest faces is taking another step in his career, as told in a series of Tweets on January 6 and 7 to kick off the New Year. In his Tweet, Dawson announced the creation of his third channel, “ShaneGlossin,” following the creation of his second account “Shane Dawson TV” in 2008. “I made another channel for makeup videos and other random stuff I might feel like posting,” Dawson explained. “I just wanted a low pressure place to post stuff if I get creative or inspired at 3 AM.” I made another channel for makeup videos and other random stuff I might feel like posting. I just wanted a low pressure place to post stuff if I get creative or inspired at 3am :)) https://t.co/JZXBUxLkCf — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 7, 2020 This post would explain the random video uploaded five days prior, simply titled, “Test,” which featured Dawson sledding down a snowy hillside — a video that has garnered over 1 million views at the time of writing, in spite of being an obvious “tester” upload from the YouTube star. “ShaneGlossin’s” creation comes as little surprise to fans, considering the smashing success of his “Conspiracy” palette collab with Star in November 2019 — but not everyone is pleased with this development, and some have even gone as far as accusing Dawson of being a “fake” beauty guru. “I play with makeup almost daily,” Dawson replied to one critic. “I just don’t post about it because I’m not in the mood to post. After a series I tend to gain weight, spiral, and hibernate for a couple months. Currently in that phase.” I play with makeup almost daily. I just don’t post about it because I’m not in the mood to post. After a series I tend to gain weight, spiral, and hibernate for a couple months. Currently in that phase.

Shane Dawson explains how cat scandal “ruined” his marriage proposal – Dexerto
Shane Dawson explains how cat scandal “ruined” his marriage proposal Shane Dawson, YouTubeYouTube star Shane Dawson proposed to longtime boyfriend Ryland Adams in March 2019 – but his plan didn’t go off without a hitch, thanks to a scandal that arose from one of his old podcasts. The YouTuber found himself in the middle of Twitter’s “#shanedawsonisoverparty” during that same time, after users rediscovered an episode of his previous podcasts that contained a story of Dawson’s first “s*xual experience.” In what he later claimed was a “joke,” Dawson claimed that he’d engaged in inappropriate activity with his pet cat, with critics across the net hoping to cancel the content creator for the divisive clip. I found the audio!! Shane Dawson came on his cat! WTF!!!!! This was on his podcast pic.twitter.com/6slFQRxIeE — Sandwich Ruler (@magician_dragon) March 17, 2019 Seven months later, Dawson released the third episode of his documentary series “The beautiful world of Jeffree Star,” where he revealed that the scandal had “ruined” his attempts to propose to Adams amid the backlash. “This whole situation ruined… not just ruined my day. [It] ruined so many things,” he explained, with screenshots of texts to Ryland’s mother flashing on the screen. “It definitely ruined everything. And I’m not letting that happen again.” (Timestamp: 6:50 for mobile viewers) These texts reveal what appear to be Dawson’s plans to propose, with the YouTuber writing, “I’m gonna do it before dinner with the sunset.” “Don’t be nervous, it’s going to be perfect!” Ryland’s mom replied, using a ring emoji. Read More: Top 5 most popular ASMR channels on YouTube – However, Dawson later revealed that the drama didn’t completely disrupt his proposal plans, claiming that he “didn’t care about that” in response to another text asking him if he would wait for the scandal to die down. In fact, Dawson asked to have their photo taken as a means to “get Ryland alone,” with his video ending on a tear-jerking note that showed his emotional proposal in full – which he’d posted to Twitter seven months prior. Despite the scandal, Shane didn’t let Twitter drama ruin an important life event – and it doesn’t look like he’s going to let any future debacles damage his mental health, either, taking inspiration from Jeffree Star’s no-nonsense attitude.

Shane Dawson completely panics after getting locked out as tornado hits – Dexerto
Shane Dawson completely panics after getting locked out as tornado hits Youtube: Shane Dawson, Ryland AdamsYouTuber Shane Dawson accidentally locked himself out of his house after receiving a tornado warning to get to his basement. Dawson’s fiance Ryland Adams was out at the time, leaving Dawson in a panicked state. Adam’s video was posted on his vlog account and mainly covers their recent move to Colorado with a welcome party and showing off their new house. However, the tone of the video quickly turns sour when Dawson recounts how he got himself locked out of their house after receiving a tornado warning. The video segment starts with a clip of Adams talking about their moving truck arriving with their stuff, explaining away the bare state of the house. We then switch to later in the day with Dawson receiving an emergency text message telling him to get to the basement or shelter fast. Dawson says his reaction was to say “oh my god.” With dramatic music playing over the clip, we see Dawson lock himself out of the house and start to panic. Dawson said the previous owner of the house then texted him to say “I know you’re not from here but you need to get to the basement.” Dawson went on to say that the previous owner sent him a map of the area and the level of risk from tornados. Dawson says that the area where they live was “black” or the “deepest red ever” indicating a very high risk. The YouTuber explains that the previous owner called him to check in when Dawson explained the situation. Dawson asked if there was a shelter in the barn or whether he should break a window. The previous owner, according to Dawson, advised he do just that after looking at the map again. The video then cuts back to Dawson locked outside the house where he says, “this is officially not funny anymore. Ryland is at the store….and I’m having people in the area texting me telling me I need to get in the basement.” Topic starts at 21:43 Luckily for Dawson, it appears Adams arrived in time with the clip moving to both Dawson and Adams in the basement with their dogs with the video then cutting out.

Shane Dawson drops new teaser for upcoming mysterious YouTube docuseries – Dexerto
Shane Dawson drops new teaser for upcoming mysterious YouTube docuseries After teasing his next docuseries for weeks, Shane Dawson has dropped another mysterious hint giving fans a look at what’s in store for the YouTuber’s next creation. Shane Dawson has risen to popularity over the last year with popular documentary series centered on the YouTube’s biggest and most controversial figures, including Jeffree Star, Tana Mongeau, and, most recently, Jake Paul. For his next docuseries, though, it looks was though Dawson is taking a much different angle to bring his fans something they haven’t seen ever before. While Dawson has previously teased projects with the likes of Justin Bieber, he has since confirmed that his next project will be “out of this world.” He’s been Tweeting triangle emojis hinting at something related to conspiracy theories and on January 8, he finally gave fans an official look at what’s coming soon, complete with spooky music to fit the theme of his new series. :eye::up_red_triangle::back: pic.twitter.com/WfHMvsRbNX — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 9, 2019 If that wasn’t enough, Dawson followed the video up with another Tweet saying that he has “a 2 hour and 20 [minute] video” with another “3 hours of footage” on his cameraman’s computer. i currently have a 2 hour and 20 min video and andrew has about 3 hours of footage on his computer. i have no idea how many videos / how long they are gonna be :grimacing::scream: bring A LOT of snacks :pancakes::pizza::fries::lollipop::doughnut::eye: https://t.co/2UeqajUHPu — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) January 9, 2019 “I have no idea how many videos [or] how long they are gonna be,” Dawson tells his followers on Twitter. “Bring A LOT of snacks.” If Dawson’s last docuseries centered around Jake Paul is any indication, viewers could certainly be in for quite the long ride. While his series on Tana Mongeau’s infamous Tanacon was only three episodes long, his subsequent series on Jeffree Star (5 episodes) and Jake Paul (8 episodes) have gotten progressively longer each outing. working on stuff for 2019 :eyes::up_red_triangle: pic.twitter.com/MvO5tOR3TP — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) December 8, 2018 Given that this new series looks to be centered around various conspiracy theories, it doesn’t seem as though he’ll reach the same lengths as previous series, but time will tell just how long it ends up being. Outside of this quick video, though, Dawson gave no indication of when the newest series would be out, meaning fans will have to wait a bit longer for more announcements.

Shane Dawson claims fiancé Ryland Adams was possessed by a demon in his sleep – Dexerto
Shane Dawson claims fiancé Ryland Adams was possessed by a demon in his sleep YouTube: Shane DawsonIn probably one of the weirdest moments in influencer news this week, YouTuber Shane Dawson took to Instagram to claim that his fiancé, Ryland Adams, is getting possessed by a demon. Shane Dawson has made quite a name for himself due to his highly acclaimed documentary series, having gone on deep-dives with controversial personalities like Jake Paul and Jeffree Star, and later, covering creepy conspiracy theories. Dawson certainly has a flair for the dramatic, as noted in his divisive docuseries about Jake Paul and the purported “sociopathic” tendencies he claimed some content creators might have. This “eerie” style of video translated to his later uploads covering conspiracies (like that weird Chuck E. Cheese pizza theory). Most recently, it looks like Shane Dawson’s latest tale involves his own relationship — but it’s decidedly far more creepy than employees putting random pizza slices together in a themed restaurant. In a few of Instagram stories published on August 17, Dawson claimed that, as he was getting into bed, fiancé Ryland Adams told his partner that he was going to die before “waking up” and seeming to have no recollection of the encounter. It was much more unsettling than that, though, if Dawson is to be believed; the influencer went on to describe the situation in detail, and it definitely sounds like something out of a horror flick. “He’s laying down,” Dawson began, pantomiming a sleeping Ryland, “And then I come into bed, and he goes, ‘Watch out for the balloons! You’re gonna die tonight!’ And he started laughing!” “And then I said, ‘What?’ And he goes, ‘Don’t fall off the bed — you’re gonna die tonight! Watch out for the balloons, you’re gonna die!’” Dawson continued, mimicking a hysterically laughing Ryland. “It wasn’t just creepy or scary,” he added. “It was horrifying. We were just talking about it, and how there may be a demon in his body. We might have gotten a haunted antique from an antique store. Maybe the chandelier.” (The full story can be viewed in the Instagram post below.) View this post on Instagram Dawson and Adams recently relocated to Colorado after the intense criticism that Dawson faced over his older content — and it looks like the couple is re-thinking their choices of antique décor. We’ll have to wait and see if he publishes another documentary series in the style of ‘Paranormal Activity’ regarding the weirdness in his new house.

Shane Dawson claims he’s “horrified” over his past in official YouTube return – Dexerto
Shane Dawson claims he’s “horrified” over his past in official YouTube return YouTube: shaneShane Dawson has officially made a comeback to YouTube over a year after being cancelled online, teasing a three-part documentary series focusing on the paranormal. In summer 2020, popular YouTuber Shane Dawson was met with an onslaught of backlash and criticism after clips from his older videos and podcasts surfaced online. Much of this content was criticized for being racist in nature and inappropriate. Even the likes of Jada Pinkett Smith called out Dawson for a comment he’d made about her daughter, Willow Smith, sparking further outrage against him. The fallout that followed was nothing to sneeze at. Dawson lost over 400,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, and his collaborative ‘Conspiracy’ makeup line with beauty guru Jeffree Star was removed by Morphe in wake of the controversy. Nearly a year and a half has passed since Dawson published an apology video discussing the aforementioned scandals, and after quite a while of teasing a potential comeback on social media, he uploaded a forty-minute long video on October 7, 2021. In the video, Dawson addressed the drama from last year, claiming he felt “horrified” by the ordeal. Shane Dawson responds to past controversies in new YouTube video “I definitely feel ashamed and embarrassed and horrified over a lot of the old clips and stuff that started coming out when I got canceled and all of that, awful,” he said. “Then it snowballed. It’s weird, if I talk about it, how I really feel, people are gonna say, ‘Oh, you’re trying to get sympathy,’ or whatever. So, I like, don’t want to talk about it.” “I don’t want to be looked at as somebody who gave up and left and ran away from the internet because they were afraid of whatever,” he said later on in the video. “I left because I felt like I should, and I left because I needed time.” (Topic begins at 7:30) Dawson’s latest project is a three-part documentary series detailing hauntings and other such paranormal activity, with his newest YouTube upload being the first of these. Thus far, responses to Shane’s comeback are decidedly mixed — but it looks like Dawson is focusing on creating content in spite of public opinion.

Shane Dawson breaks social media silence again to tease YouTube return – Dexerto
Shane Dawson breaks social media silence again to tease YouTube return Instagram: Shane DawsonAlmost a year since his viral apology video in light of multiple controversies, former YouTube star Shane Dawson has broken his silence on social media and addressed his future. As one of the first true YouTube celebrities, Dawson amassed millions of followers online before he was caught in a wave of controversy throughout 2020. From a bizarre cat video to a heated clash with the Smith family, there was plenty to address in his now infamous apology video. In the 12 months since, Dawson has been relatively absent from social media. Despite commenting that his career was “over” back in February, he later hinted at a YouTube return in the following month. Now, Dawson has re-emerged online once again to clarify his future. “I know I haven’t posted a video in a long time and I promise it’s not because I don’t want to,” he told fans in a June 9 Instagram post. “I’m just trying to stay in a good mindset and be happy.” This update comes seven months since his last appearance on Instagram in particular. Meanwhile, both his YouTube and Twitter accounts have remained dormant since the June 27 apology video. Despite this considerable break in light of the numerous controversies, Dawson has confirmed he will be making a return sooner or later. “I promise I’m not going to abandon my channel after 15 years of creating,” he said. “Just been re-evaluating my life the last year and figuring out what I want to do with it. Life is short and I’m grateful for every second of it. Hope you guys are doing well! I miss you!” View this post on Instagram Obviously, it’s still early days yet and this new update doesn’t pinpoint a specific week or even month. Dawson could still be away from the spotlight for a good while yet. There’s also no telling what his YouTube comeback might look like either. Dawson could return with a simple follow-up vlog or have an entirely new content series mapped out. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Shane Dawson causes stir with Instagram return amid recent controversies – Dexerto
Shane Dawson causes stir with Instagram return amid recent controversies Instagram: Shane DawsonTo the shock of fans across the web, Shane Dawson has one again made a brief return to social media after ceasing to post on all platforms after an explosive chain of events followed his ‘Taking Accountability’ apology video in June. [jwplayer smynPnSq] Shane Dawson initially stopped posting on social media in early July after a backlash to an apology video he uploaded to YouTube – wherein he addressed his use of racial stereotyping and blackface among other offensive jokes – shed light on other issues from his past such as his past comments about children and inappropriate sexual jokes. Around this time, Tati Westbrook also uploaded a follow-up to her infamous ‘Bye Sister’ video wherein she accused Dawson of manipulating her and telling her “poisonous lies” about Charles in order to get him out the way before the launch of his and Jeffree Star’s Conspiracy palette. As a result of these scandals, Dawson lost over 400,000 YouTube subscribers and even had his makeup line removed by Morphe. Since then, with the exception of a brief post last month wishing fiancé Ryland Adams luck with a new presenting role, he has remained silent on social media. However, on November 1, Dawson posted a series of photos to commemorate the 1-year release of his Conspiracy palette. Gushing over Jeffree Star, he thanked the makeup mogul for “believing in him” and describes the release of the palette as “one of the best moments of his life”. Reflecting on various aspects of the day, he also thanked makeup artist Lipstick Nick before closing the part of the story by saying: “Sorry for all the pics. Just being emotional and sentimental tonight.” Providing hope to fans on an eventual social media return, he also said: “I’ll be back soon, I promise”. He also took the opportunity to encourage fans to vote during the elections, before sharing his teddy bear statue collection and referencing that he’s had a “rough year”. Fans had very mixed reactions to Dawson’s return to social media. With many of them telling Dawson to “stay off the internet”, one Twitter user said: “Anyone else feel like this a big ‘Hey guys I know everyone hates me but I just wanted to remind everyone I am rich and still gross ok bye’ “. Reminding people of Dawson’s misdeeds, another Twitter user said: “He legit rubbed his face on a dogs crotch and kissed a child on the lips at a fan meet up along with so much more (no hate to you but I don’t know how people support him)”. Referencing Dawson’s quip about having a “rough year”, a further Twitter user said: “Not Shane still playing the poor pitiful him role saying he had a rough year. We all have had a rough year this year. Tone deaf to talk about buying statues because of it when people are struggling to pay rent, buy food because of the pandemic”. Other fans were more wistful, with one Twitter fan saying “I can’t wait for Shane to come back to social media”, while another fan said: “I love him and I’ve missed him. I hope he comes back with on own terms. When ever it is”. Fans will have to wait and see what Shane Dawson’s promised ‘return’ would actually entail.

Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams give update on baby boys after meeting with surrogate – Dexerto
Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams give update on baby boys after meeting with surrogate Ryland Vlogs / YouTubeShane Dawson and Ryland Adams have given an update on how their two sons and surrogate are doing as they prepare to become fathers to twins. Shane Dawson and his husband Ryland Adams have been documenting their journey to become parents through surrogacy. The couple got married on January 3, 2023, after being together for 7 years. Throughout their relationship, especially in the past few years, the pair have been open about one day wanting to become parents. They have been documenting their surrogate journey on YouTube, from finding the surrogate, discovering they’re having twins, and even revealing the twins’ names: Jett Adams Yaw and Max Adams Yaw. In their most recent update, the couple shared big news about what happened in their recent scan as they reach 20 weeks. “We met our surrogate at the hospital the babies will be delivered at,” Ryland said in the video. “We walked in, of course, we didn’t film because of the privacy of the surrogate and because of the no filming rules at the hospital. “So we were just fully there, present, but it was this big 20-week anatomy scan and it was magical.” Shane chipped in and said: “It was crazy. I know I keep saying this but this was the best moment of my life. I’ve said that through every step of the process, but this specifically was the best moment of my life and let me explain. He went on to explain that the scan had been two hours long as they’d spent one hour focusing on each baby at a time. “As they were putting [the ultrasound wand] on her stomach, and boom right away, it was like a movie. There was like two babies, floating around. And one of them, we don’t know whose genetics is whos, we don’t really care about that, but I kind of thing ‘Baby A’ might be my genetics because it would not shut up. You could see its mouth moving like ‘blah blah blah’. And then ‘Baby B’, when she went over to ‘Baby B’, it was more like this,” Shane said as he covered his ears to show. “It was so real! Because it is real,” he said. “It was a lot.” Ryland then went on to explain how they could see “they’re fully formed humans growing inside the surrogate”. “It was so crazy to see them kicking, moving, stretching, flipping, opening their mouths and even yawning, like their hearts beating. It was just so crazy,” Ryland said. Shane then went on to say that everything with the babies looked great and healthy. They are due to be born in mid-December 2023.

Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams reveal they’re pregnant with twins – Dexerto
Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams reveal they’re pregnant with twins Instagram: Ryland AdamsYouTube star Shane Dawson and his husband Ryland Addams have announced they are expecting two boys via a surrogate. They shared their names and due dates in a sweet new video, documenting their journey to parenthood. After having documented the start of having a baby through surrogacy, Shane Dawson, 34, and husband Ryland Adams, 32, have now announced they’re becoming dads of twins in January as their surrogate is pregnant. The couple got married on January 3, 2023, after being together for 7 years. Throughout their relationship, especially in the past few years, the pair has been open about one day wanting to become parents The couple had previously shared that they’d transferred two fertilized eggs to their surrogate in the hopes of having twins. They then left their fans hanging for six weeks, not giving any updates on how it went – until now. Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams are expecting twin boys In a video posted on July 6, Shane and Ryland excitedly tell fans that their surrogate is pregnant after receiving a photo of a positive pregnancy test sent to them by text from their surrogate. Later in the video, the couple travel to Spokane, Washington, to attend the 6 week scan and to hear their babies’ heartbeats for the first time. This is also when it’s confirmed that they’re having twin boys, due on January 4, 2024. Recapping what had happened during the appointment, Shane said he had been shocked that both embryos had survived the transfer. They both had one egg that had been fertilized and transferred to the surrogate, in the hopes to have two children who are biologically related to either Shane or Ryland. Going through surrogacy and insemination, Shane and Ryland decided to bring their viewers and fans along on their journey. They also revealed that they’re expecting two sons, and already have names picked out – Jett Adams Yaw and Max Adams Yaw. When babies are born through IVF, which is the process their surrogate is using, fertility doctors are able to identify XX or XY chromosomes in the embryo, making the gender selection nearly 100 percent accurate, so parents can choose the gender of their child, according to the Pacific Fertility Center of Los Angeles. Fans happy despite Shane’s controversial background In June 2020, the internet turned against Shane when clips of him dressing in blackface, and making inappropriate jokes resurfaced. He also faced allegations of manipulation and even pedophilia. Following the circulation of the clips, Shane shared an apology video on YouTube and disappeared from his online presence until the following year. And while many social media users still have mixed feelings about his return to YouTube, many of them have congratulated him and Ryland on their baby news. Many fans said they were so happy to see him have ‘grown’ and that they were ‘excited’ for the couple. One person commented on the video, saying: “Oh my God you guys!!! Congrats! I’ve never been happier for anyone in my life! You both are going to be such great loving parents. Max and Jett are so blessed already.” “I’m so EXCITED for them to go on this new journey as dads,” a second person wrote. A third person said: “Been following Shane since the beginning. I can’t believe he’s going to be a DAD.”

Shakira takes shots at Gerard Pique and his partner in new song – Dexerto
Shakira takes shots at Gerard Pique and his partner in new song CBSIn her new song with Bizarrap, Colombian singer Shakira slams her ex, Gerard Pique, and his current partner. Shakira spent over a decade with her longtime boyfriend Gerard Pique, a former footballer who retired late last year. The pair had two children during their time together, which came to an end in June 2022 amid allegations of Pique’s infidelity. Notably, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer broke her silence on the separation several months later during a cover story with Elle Magazine. But fans of the beloved superstar can hear her clap back at the footballer and his paramour in a brand-new track. Shakira slams ex Gerard Pique in recently released song Argentine DJ Bizarrap and Shakira joined forces on a new song, “Music Sessions #53,” on which the latter takes a few shots at her ex. In referencing Pique and his girlfriend Clara Chia in the song, Shakira sings that he traded “a Ferrari for a Twingo” and “a Rolex for a Casio.” And it doesn’t stop there, either. Another diss calls back to a fan-favorite Shakira track, “She-Wolf,” with the following line – “A she-wolf like me ain’t for guys like you.” Suffice it to say, the song has already taken on a life of its own. The video session managed to garner over 41 million views on YouTube less than 24 hours after its initial release. At the time of writing, the video is sitting at the number one trending spot for music on YouTube. If Gerard Pique and Clara Chia thought the topic of their affair had died down, Shakira’s latest song proves otherwise.

Shane Dawson addresses past YouTube videos after racism accusations – Dexerto
Shane Dawson addresses past YouTube videos after racism accusations Shane Dawson, YouTubeLongtime YouTuber Shane Dawson has come out with a video apologizing for his past content that many viewers have found offensive, including his use of blackface and caricatures parodying people of color. Shane Dawson is one of YouTube’s OG content creators, having founded his channel back in 2008. His popularity skyrocketed due to his comedy sketches and skits, although he’s now known for documenting the scandals surrounding other top YouTube personalities. However, Dawson’s past on the site is littered with controversy, as he created a blackface character hat appears to parody Black people, as well as making comments that critics deemed to be inappropriate on a previous podcast. Having posted a lengthy Notes app statement regarding his involvement in the 2019 scandal surrounding James Charles, both Dawson and makeup mogul Jeffree Star have come under intense scrutiny from fans — and now, Shane has finally addressed the matter in full. Following Jenna Marbles’ viral exodus from YouTube after confronting her own past on the platform, Dawson uploaded a twenty-minute-long video coming clean about his own past, opening with an admission of racist behavior in regard to his previous content. “I was at least 20 when I started YouTube,” 31-year-old Dawson explained. “I made the decision to play stereotypes of Black people or Asian people or Mexicans… I said, ‘Oh, this is funny,’ and I put it on the internet.” “When I say I hate that person, I mean it in the most intense way possible,” he continued. “That person was filled with sadness, filled with anger about their own issues, in the closet, constantly projecting on others. …that person is someone I don’t like seeing.” Dawson also clarified that he’d made his apology video to become “part of a change and not part of a problem,” and went on to claim he would better educate himself and feature more people on his channel other than “white people in trouble.” He likewise addressed the drama surrounding James Charles — more specifically, his Notes post where he wrote that Charles deserved a “slice of humble pie the size of the Empire State Building,” calling it a comment he “regrets more than anything in my life.” “That note had so much anger in it, and it was just not good,” he elaborated. “I’m sorry, James. I’m really sorry. Nobody deserves what happened. The whole internet ganging up on someone… nobody deserves that.” While Charles himself has yet to comment on Dawson’s video at the time of writing, it doesn’t look like Shane is leaving YouTube a la Jenna Marbles, instead promising his viewers that he will show them a “better” version of himself in the future.

Shake Shack customer left baffled by lettuce wrap: “Did they think a rabbit came in?” – Dexerto
Shake Shack customer left baffled by lettuce wrap: “Did they think a rabbit came in?” TikTok: catchingupwithcaitlinA Shake Shack customer has split the internet after revealing her bun-less wrap arrived looking like “a whole head of lettuce.” A new health trend has seen people swap out the bread in their burgers, wraps, and sandwiches for a healthier alternative — lettuce. Ditching the carbs is a handy trick for those looking to lose weight and drop calories, however, it appears some restaurants are still figuring out exactly how to proportion lettuce wraps. Caitlin Farrand, who goes by ‘catchingupwithcaitlin’ on TikTok, took to the social media platform to share how much lettuce was included in her wrap after ordering from Shake Shack. “You order a ‘lettuce wrap’ instead of a bun at Shake Shack and they give you this,” Caitlin said in a voiceover of the TikTok, seen holding up what appeared to be just a regular head of lettuce. “Did they think a rabbit came in and placed this order?” she continued. “Shake Shack [please] explain.” Nonetheless, Caitlin revealed there was in fact a veggie patty hidden within the mass of lettuce. “It’s in there somewhere,” she told a commenter, admitting the wrap was “actually really good”. Viewers jumped to Caitlin’s comments to share their own experiences at Shake Shack, with many revealing they too had found themselves bombarded with lettuce. “Just ordered a burger wrapped with lettuce from Shake Shack the other day it felt like eating a bible,” one person wrote. Another said, “This JUST happened to me [oh my God] I felt like a freak.” Though some came to the fast food chain’s defense, claiming the more lettuce the better; “Okay, I’m gonna say it I love [it] when they do mine like this!” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Shakira is a legendary music artist, dancer, and performer whose international fame has translated to the online world, as well.

However, there was a catch to this competition — the stars could only watch the choreography one time before making their attempt. The first dance was the ‘Money Don’t Jiggle’ trend. Shakira basically nailed the routine perfectly, but Fallon stumbled a little bit in his recreation. The second dance was Shakira’s own Te Felicito choreography. She obviously had no trouble pulling off the robotic moves — and Fallon, surprisingly, managed to pull off the dance after just watching it once, earning a round of applause from his celebrity ‘opponent.’ Shakira goes viral for TikTok dance competition against Jimmy Fallon Fans are raving about Shakira’s dance moves online, with YouTuber commenters gushing over her athletic talent. “Shakira’s choreos are always so unique in style that only she could ever pull them off,” one user wrote. “Everybody else looks cringey doing them.” “Jimmy nailed it!” another said. “And Shakira, oh God, Shakira, what a beauty and what a pleasing presence. Bravo!” On TikTok, Shakira’s video sharing her experience on Fallon’s show has earned over 2 million views, with commenters giving a similar review of her impressive choreo (with a ton being shocked that the star is 45 years old).

Seth Rollins challenges Logan Paul and mocks Jake’s loss to Tommy Fury on WWE Raw – Dexerto
Seth Rollins challenges Logan Paul and mocks Jake’s loss to Tommy Fury on WWE Raw WWEWWE superstar Seth Rollins FaceTimed YouTuber Logan Paul live on WWE Raw on Monday, February 27, calling him out from in the ring as well as mocking Logan’s brother, Jake, following his boxing loss to Tommy Fury. Logan made his first appearance in the WWE in April 2021, and since then has been a hugely popular name in the business, with some great matches and the most talked-about spot of the 2023 Royal Rumble when he collided with Ricochet in mid-air, flying high above the rest of the talent in the ring. One other wrestler he clashed with was Seth Rollins, a two-time Universal champion among many other accolades, eliminating the 11-year WWE veteran from the Rumble and ruining his shot at fighting for the championship at Wrestlemania. Now, a few weeks later, and after another run-in at Elimination Chamber, Rollins decided to address Paul directly in the ring, stealing The Miz’s phone to FaceTime the YouTuber. “I just wanted to call you to see how your baby bro is doing,” Rollins said. “How’s Jakey poo doing? He had a tough day yesterday.” He went on: “While I’ve got you, I’ve got a bit of a proposition for you. I think we’re all pretty sick of this game of cat and mouse you’ve been playing, so how about next week you grow a set, show up on Raw, stand in this ring, and go face-to-face with Seth Rollins?” Logan accepted the offer and said he would “love to see you try to run your mouth when we are standing face-to-face.” The next episode of Raw is on March 6 in Boston, MA, so Logan is going to have to show out in front of the rowdy Boston crowd and prove he deserves a shot at taking on one of the most elite wrestlers in the company. This also just so happens to be where John Cena will be making his Raw return, so it’s bound to be a wild night for pro wrestling fans.

Several YouTubers involved in billion-dollar lawsuit after promoting FTX – Dexerto
Several YouTubers involved in billion-dollar lawsuit after promoting FTX TSMSeveral finance YouTubers, such as Graham Stephan, Meet Kevin, and Andrei Jikh, are among those involved in a billion-dollar lawsuit for promoting FTX before its collapse. During its existence, FTX was the sponsor of many organizations, sporting teams, leagues, and personalities online. From TSM, the Mercedes F1 team, the LCS, and even Tom Brady, many were paid to advertise the cryptocurrency exchange. But when the company fell into bankruptcy in 2022, many of its sponsors came under fire. And dozens of YouTubers too were part of FTX’s marketing strategy. On March 15, it was revealed several of the YouTubers who were paid to promote FTX are currently involved in a class action lawsuit, which is claiming $1 billion in damages. The agency which represents them, Creators Agency, is also listed as a defendant. Here is the full list of YouTubers involved in the lawsuit: Kevin “Meet Kevin” Paffrath – Graham Stephan – Andrei Jikh – Brian Jung – Jeremy “Financial Education” Lefebvre – Tom Nash – Ben “BitBoy Crypto” Armstrong – Erika Kullberg – So far, the only influencer who has commented on the lawsuit is Meet Kevin, in a statement to Coffeeezilla. He said of the lawsuit, “I’d be happy to work with them as a charity, but let’s be clear that’s what it is.” He continued, “I don’t think any influencer has to take responsibility for what somebody does with product advice. That responsibility should only arise if somebody actually hires somebody, like retaining an attorney or hiring a doctor, for their own personal situation.” He ended off his statement, “it’s a lesson to the whole community, we’ve got to be more careful of sponsors and the viewers have to be diligent about their own decisions.” The lawsuit, as Legal Eagle points out, is essentially similar to the class action lawsuit which was brought against Sam Bandman-Fried, Tom Brady, and Larry David. With the same lawyers, plaintiffs, and claims, with only the defendants differing in this circumstance. As of writing, the class action complaint has just been brought in and a demand for a Jury Trial has been called. There are no dates for when the court trial will begin.

The Logan Paul feud with Seth Rollins has just evolved in a big way, with the two doing head-to-head in a segment during the recent episode of Monday Night RAW. When the two found themselves in the ring, facing each other, Seth Rollings opened up the trash talk by joking it was nice of Paul to “grace us with his presence.” These comments caused the Boston crowd to promptly begin chanting Logan sucks over and over. Rollings then added, “it sounds like they know who you are. Even though we’ve had our run-ins, we’ve never been formally introduced. In case you don’t know, I am a visionary, I am a revolutionary, I am Seth Rollins.” And while Rollins was quick to fire off shots at the social media star, Paul didn’t shy away from calling Rollins out on his own shortcomings and how their previous encounters have played out favorably for the content creator turned WWE superstar. “You are the clown that I dumped at Royal Rumble, you’re the guy whose head I stomped at Elimination Chamber. I accomplished in one year, what you did in 20. I am simply better at your job than you are. I am on my way in, you’re on your way out. Guys, I’m naturally good at this. If I were you, I wouldn’t like me either.” After letting the crowd settle down from Logan’s comments, Rollins made sure that Logan knew the real reason why the WWE audience and community was booing him. “What you’re missing is the reason we don’t like you. We don’t like you because are the scum of the Earth. You’re a coward, you’re a troll, you’re a fraud, you’re a human dumpster fire, and we don’t want you in our house!” And while it had been hinted at previously, this conversation seemingly sets up Rollins vs Paul at Wrestlemania. The two then broke out in a fight with Paul getting the last laugh by knocking Rollings out with a single punch. Before exiting the ring, Logan told Rollins, “when you wake up, let me know about WrestleMania.” While this isn’t the first WrestleMania match Paul has competed in, it will be his first singles match on the grandest stage of them all. There is likely to be more build-up before the event, so we’ll be sure to keep you updated on how the Seth Rollins vs Logan Paul feud continues to play out in the lead-up to WrestleMania 39.

Seth Rogen has perfect reply to student arrested with fake McLovin ID – Dexerto
Seth Rogen has perfect reply to student arrested with fake McLovin ID Instagram: @sethrogen / Colombia PicturesSuperbad writer and actor Seth Rogen had the perfect response on Twitter to a story in the news about a student who actually tried to pull off a McLovin scam. It’s been close to twelve years since Superbad first hit theaters, and is without a doubt one of the most influential comedies in the last decade. The raunchy teen comedy starred Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, and was a smash hit. Seth Rogen had the perfect response to a student in Iowa who was arrested after attempting to pull off a scam with a fake ID that was featured in the movie. Student busted for McLovin ID One of the most iconic scenes in the film is when an underaged character named Fogell (played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) devises a scheme to buy alcohol using a fake ID from Hawaii he obtained with the name ‘McLovin’ on it. A twenty-year old man from Iowa actually tried to pull this off in real life, according to WSVN 7 News. After police were called, officers reportedly asked the student for his ID, to which he responded he didn’t have one. However, when his wallet was searched, police said they discovered a “fake Hawaii ID with the name ‘McLovin DOB 06/03/1981″, the outlet reported. Replying to the news story on Twitter, writer and actor in Superbad, Seth Rogen, gave the perfect response. “My work here is done,” he said, which sent his followers into a frenzy as many found the moment to be hilarious. Stranger Things and IT actor Finn Wolfhard got in on the fun, and replied to Rogen’s tweet reciting a line from the film from when the character is asked why he chose “McLovin” for the ID card. “It was between that and Muhammad,” he said. 600Set Rogen’s tweet has over 37,000 likes and 230,000 retweets as of the time of this article, as many Superbad fans have taken to the social media post to reminisce about the film, and cite their favorite lines. Fans even began to spam McLovin gifs with scenes from the movie, proving that its legacy has endured over the last decade, as its popularity remains. Superbad recently came to streaming service Netflix in September, and continues to be one of the most influential comedies from the 2000s. The fact that an underage student actually tried to pull off a scam from the film is an example of why the movie is so popular, as it isn’t that far off from real life.

Server sparks debate on TikTok after keeping customer’s change TikTok: Yezusyikes/PixabayA restaurant server on TikTok has sparked a debate between users in the comments after revealing he kept a customer’s change, assuming they didn’t want it back. Oftentimes when customers at a restaurant pay with cash, they request that the server keep the change as a tip for their service.

One user commented: “If they gave you the money, what’s the problem with giving your manager the entire amount back? Gift card or not the money doesn’t go to you.” Another said: “I’m confused. Is this guy not completely in the wrong? Yes, they should have tipped but he just assumed it was his money?” “When it rains it pours. You will get a better job! Keep your head up,” a third user explained.

Seth Green NFT TV show on hold after Bored Ape gets stolen and resold Twitter: SethGreen/ Instagram: SethGreenActor Seth Green has been pleading with an NFT purchaser on Twitter after having several of his NFTs stolen in a phishing scam. Seth Green as an actor and producer is perhaps most widely known for starring in 00’s comedies and Family Guy. But the multi-talented man has long had his fingers in many internet pies.

With the show ‘White Horse Tavern’ currently in development with Gary Vaynerchuk co-producing, The team hit a wall after Seth fell foul of a phishing scam.

Bored Ape #8398 in particular is voiced by Green himself and is shown to be the lead character of the series. Pulling apart the copyright red tape in a situation like this is particularly difficult due to the unfamiliarity of the legal system with NFT ownership. Hoping to resolve this issue, Seth reached out directly to the new owner of the stolen Ape, Twitter user ‘DarkWing84.’ Asking the supposed new owner to “hit me up so we can fix it.” Well frens it happened to me.

Sergio Aguero uses his Twitch stream to respond to Barcelona transfer rumors – Dexerto
Sergio Aguero uses his Twitch stream to respond to Barcelona transfer rumors Twitch: SLAKUN10Sergio Aguero has usually kept his popular Twitch stream pretty separate to his professional football career, but as rumors about his next move ramp up, he actually addressed speculation that he’s moving to Barcelona. The Man City star has been streaming on Twitch for a few years now, regularly playing a mix of games from FIFA, to GTA, and Fall Guys. Unfortunately for his fans in the UK, he almost exclusively speaks Spanish while streaming, but he also rarely discusses things like transfer rumors while he’s live. Even during all the talk about Messi potentially joining Man City, Aguero kept quiet on stream – despite his chat literally full of people asking about his fellow Argentine. Aguero to Barca? Man City man responds on Twitch This time, it’s Aguero himself at the center of speculation, as his contract with the Premier League leaders continues to run down. At the end of the season, there is speculation that he will move on, and rumors suggest that a number of the world’s top clubs are interested in his services. Barcelona is among them, but Aguero has asked for everyone to stop the speculation for the time being. First reported by Spanish paper Marca, Aguero said said on his stream: “They‘re all writing ‘Barça, Barça, Barça’. Let’s hold on a little, have a look. Stop. We’re still at City.” https://twitter.com/HagridFCB/status/1370641364438773763 Although Aguero isn’t the only football superstar who streams on Twitch, he’s by far the most dedicated. Others, including Neymar Jr, have also dabbled. But, this is possibly the first time that a big-name player, perhaps in any sport, has used their platform on Twitch to address their fans directly about transfer rumors – and it won’t be the last. As more professional athletes start streaming, either on Twitch or elsewhere, to grow their brands, it’s bound to become a place where they can speak freely, outside the more stuffy contexts of press conferences. On the other hand, we’ve seen this backfire too. In March, NBA player Meyers Leonard used an anti-semitic slur on stream, sparking huge controversy.

Server goes viral after couple refuses to tip her because she can’t adjust their bill – Dexerto
Server goes viral after couple refuses to tip her because she can’t adjust their bill Tik Tok: @whatsthatmeenA woman on TikTok shared why a couple refused to tip her, simply because she couldn’t adjust the bill for them, and fans are furious. In a video that’s gained a colossal 1.7 million views, a woman named Gina has shared the seemingly bizarre reason why a couple refused to tip her. She starts the video by setting down her camera on the counter ready for a storytime. “Okay, you wanna hear why I didn’t get tipped tonight?” the TikToker asks, clearly aggravated by the intonation of her voice. She explains that an older couple arrived at the unnamed restaurant, and ordered “Double pork chops, baked-potato with all the butter, green-beans, and a plate to share.” She repeated the order to the couple, just to make sure she’d written everything down correctly. She says she then “Typed it into the f**king computer,” before checking on their dining experience after the meal arrived. They seemed satisfied, that is, until they received the bill, and the man gesticulated angrily at the waitress, saying “Ey… I asked for one pork chop, we can’t even eat all of this.” She was flabbergasted by his claim, as not only had the man ordered a double-pork chop rather than a single, the couple’s plates were also completely empty, apart from a “sliver of potato skin.” The man was adamant however, prompting her to speak to the manager, who of course, shared similar sentiments. The manager told them “Well, you must have been hungry, because you ate it all.” Despite this, the couple were adamant, stating, “Well, the waitress didn’t adjust my check for me, so I’m not tipping her.” In the video, Gina is visibly worked up, blurting “So this man really didn’t tip me because he only requested one chop, ate the whole thing, and didn’t tip me bro.” TikTok furious at rude couple The TikTok commenters rallied to Gina’s defence, and had lots to say on the matter. One stated plainly “Those people were never gonna tip you.” Another wished that she could have been a fly on the wall, stating “Waitresses should wear GoPro’s.” One fantasised about an ideal solution, where: “Your boss covers your tip as a managerial expense, and bans the customers.” Others were surprised at the order’s low cost, asserting, “The order was only $24, why were they tripping.” Perhaps what’s most interesting is that people were quick to guess which establishment the woman worked at. It seemed that one guess was unanimous. “Why did I know this was Texas Roadhouse as SOON as you said, double chops?” Another concurred, “This screams Texas Roadhouse guests. They’re a different breed.” The establishment that Gina works at hasn’t been confirmed, nonetheless, commentators argue “Everyone should have to waitress for at least a week.” It’s not always the customers who cause a stir for how they treat wait staff, though. Thousands were left mindblown after this DoorDash driver threw a customer’s food order on the ground because they didn’t leave a tip.

Sergio Aguero passes Tfue & Summit1g as fastest-growing Twitch streamer – Dexerto
Sergio Aguero passes Tfue & Summit1g as fastest-growing Twitch streamer Wikimedia / Twitch: SLAKUN10To become a popular streamer, it takes a lot of hours and consistency, something a professional footballer often has to dedicate elsewhere. But in these unprecedented times, Man City striker Sergio Aguero has risen to the top of Twitch, beating out the biggest names on the way. After sports around the world came to a grinding halt, the world’s best players were suddenly left with a lot more free time on their hands, and many have turned to gaming to fill the void. Footballers gaming and streaming is nothing new, with the likes of Neymar Jr, Harry Kane and more dabbling in Twitch live-streaming in the past. But as lockdown in the UK has prevented Argentina’s 3rd all-time top scorer from banging in the Premier League goals, he has been brushing up on his FIFA skills on Twitch instead. He’s also tried his hand at racing games, using a proper steering wheel setup, and his broadcasts have been a massive hit. So much so in fact, that he now ranks as the number one fastest-growing channel on the entire platform. Twitch is comfortably the most popular website for video game livestreams, and Aguero is now it’s number one streamer, at least over the past month. Statistics via TwitchMetrics. For almost a year, this top 10 remained pretty steady, usually with Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney, Jaryd ‘Summit1G’ Lazar and Rubén ‘Rubius’ Gundersen making up the top three. But there has been a major shakeup in April and May of 2020, which has seen the likes of CS:GO YouTuber Anomaly top the charts. Summit was actually critical of Anomaly though, accusing him of using “scummy” tactics with his Valorant livestreams to gain followers. Summit1G has actually now dropped out of the top 10 fastest-growing channels, a very rare occurrence indeed. Aguero meanwhile, sits outside of the bubble of Twitch streamers, and possibly attracts an entirely separate audience. Despite being a legend for Manchester City, much of his audience seems to be from his home country, and he speaks almost exclusively in Spanish when live-streaming. His reign at the top of Twitch may be short-lived though, as Premier League action is expected to return in June. For now though, you can find him streaming almost daily on his channel.

Sephora customers demand age policy as kids run amok in stores – Dexerto
Sephora customers demand age policy as kids run amok in stores Unsplash: Deva Darshan / TikTok: chloevanberkelFed-up Sephora customers are demanding the popular beauty brand implement an age policy in response to children running amok in stores. French multinational retailer Sephora is known for its range of high-end beauty and personal care products, boasting nearly 340 brands and offering everything from skincare to cosmetics to fragrance. As of late, however, customers have noticed an increasing trend of children visiting Sephora only to run amok in stores… and they’re not happy. Taking to TikTok to share their experiences in-store, shoppers are now claiming the retailer needs to implement an age policy to deal with this new phenomenon. Sephora shoppers are fed up with kids running amok in stores “Has anyone else noticed that, like, every time you go into Sephora now, it’s just all little girls?” Chloe asked, recounting how she witnessed a girl get into an argument with her mom over not buying enough concealers. “I just think it’s really sad how much everyone wants to grow up quicker.” Blaming social media for the age drop in Sephora customers, Chloe hasn’t been the only one to notice this trend. Abby, known as ‘abbythebadassmom‘ online, stitched Chloe’s TikTok with her own Sephora experience. “I do not know where these kids get the audacity to act like this and think that it’s okay,” Abby began, claiming a ten-year-old had ‘swooped in’ and grabbed a product out of her hands for themselves as she was shopping. “Sephora, you are going to have to implement a policy and have someone at the door and if you’re under a certain age, you cannot come in there alone and need to have an adult in there with you supervising you the whole time.” Viewers were largely on the same page, jumping to the comments to add their tales of misfortune at Sephora. One said, “So many products are opened; it’s so annoying. It looks like a squirrel has chewed on the box [and] I have to look to see if it’s been tampered with.” “I used to work at Sephora. The kids used to mix all the Drunk Elephant [products] together to make ‘smoothies’,” a former employee wrote. Nonetheless, some younger viewers claimed they were not the problem; “Every time I go to Sephora I always walk alone with my mom in the store and I use please, thank you, excuse me and I don’t open the boxes.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Sergio Aguero gets absolutely wrecked on Among Us and it’s hilarious – Dexerto
Sergio Aguero gets absolutely wrecked on Among Us and it’s hilarious Sergio Aguero/InnerslothMan City striker Sergio Aguero might be one of the best footballers in the Premier League, but it’s clear from a recent round of ‘Among Us’ that his video game skills still need some work. Aguero is definitely one of Manchester City’s star players, and like more and more sports icons these days, he’ll hop on to Twitch from time to time to stream for his fans. The striker might be able to manipulate the ball like no other on the opposing side of the pitch, but after a round of Among Us with Spanish streamer Ibai ‘Ibai’ Llanos, it’s obvious Sergio’s deceptive skills don’t extend to one of the hottest games taking over Twitch. Among Us takes players and places them on a single team together, with one random person called the “Imposter” trying to kill everyone else while they complete random tasks before the rest of the group discovers the odd man out and votes them off the island, so to speak. While Ibai was the Imposter, he managed to kill Aguero (Kun) twice, and convince the team to vote him off for extra salt in the wound. Me encuentro muy mal por lo que hice anoche. Este juego va a joderme todo lo que tengo. Perdón @aguerosergiokun. pic.twitter.com/eWXH2k9s4D — Ibai (@IbaiLlanos) September 7, 2020 “I just killed Kun Aguero, twice,” Ibai said giddily in Spanish on his own stream while playing with the footballer, who lamented to his viewers, “He killed me twice… TWICE!” “My friend Sergio Lionel, I spotted you. You don’t play this game a lot, right?” Ibai asked, which Aguero admitted was true with a begrudging “Yes.” When it came time for the team to vote on who to eliminate, Ibai’s plan sprung into motion, as he deceived the other players into thinking that it was Aguero, not him, who was the actual impostor. “He (Ibai) was following me,” Aguero argued to the team, just before he was tragically eliminated. “I didn’t even know how to close the door, and then he killed barbeq.” Among Us can definitely be a confusing game to get a hold of when you first start playing; even Twitch superstar Shroud has admitted as much. Hopefully, he continues to give it go, although we wouldn’t blame Aguero for being a bit discouraged after getting absolutely destroyed in front of tens of thousands of viewers from across the world.

Seniors fight on Bingo night after grandma threatens to “kick ass” – Dexerto
Seniors fight on Bingo night after grandma threatens to “kick ass” TikTok: GhettoGaragebuildsA couple of seniors found their way into a fight on Bingo night after one of the grandmas threatened to “kick ass” after someone made a comment about her grandson. It’s no secret that bingo night is quite popular with seniors around the world, with many spending their evenings dabbing numbers with their friends. That doesn’t mean that things don’t get a little bit heated occasionally, as TikToker Ghettogaragebuilds recently found out. While playing bingo, the creator noticed two older women going at each other and began recording just in time to capture the two fighting. Grandma threatens to “kick ass” after woman comments on grandson In the first video, you can see the offended grandma in her red sweater start to look a bit irritated before she eventually lashes out. “Talk to my grandson like that again and I’ll kick your ass. Let’s go,” she said before standing from the table. A man also came from the back of the room to help separate the woman from whoever she was attempting to fight. In a second video, it became clear that the woman on the other side of the interaction is sitting just two seats away. Unfortunately, the background noise on the video is too loud to be able to clearly tell what they’re saying to each other. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a grandma get a bit feisty in public either, back in February 2022 a heroic grandma stopped an alleged shoplifter while getting her groceries at Walmart.

Sentinels star 39Daph unbanned from Twitch after just 33 minutes – Dexerto
Sentinels star 39Daph unbanned from Twitch after just 33 minutes Instagram: 39DaphSentinels star 39Daph has been hit with a surprise ban from Twitch on September 15, leaving fans puzzled – only for her to be unbanned after just 33 minutes. Since 2017, 39Daph has been one of the most popular female streamers on Twitch with her focus on a wide variety of ‘chill’ games on stream. With over a million followers, Daph’s stream numbers consist of a nearly 5.5k concurrent viewership. On September 15, it was revealed that she was hit with a shock ban from Twitch, only for it to be overturned just a short while later. 39Daph banned from Twitch Revealed by Streamerbans on Twitter, Daph received her very first ban from the platform. At the time, 39Daph’s channel was simply met with the message, “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.” Twitch typically does not comment on community guidelines violations to protect the privacy of users. 39Daph quickly unbanned from Twitch In a shocking turn of events, after only 33 minutes, the Twitch star was been unbanned from the platform. Daph’s channel was quickly reinstated, and fans rushed to her chat to celebrate. At the time, it was unclear why she was banned in the first place, or if it was an error on Twitch’s part. Regardless, it’s certainly noteworthy how quickly she was unbanned. 39Daph reveals possible reason for shock Twitch ban Just a couple of hours later, Daph responded on Twitter, revealing the ban was likely due to her channel being mass-reported after showing sexually explicit content. However, since the game she was playing was permitted by Twitch, she was unbanned. “Anyways, its prob from mass reports on a sex scene clip from the game Immortality,” she wrote. “They realized their mistake and unbanned me since it’s a permitted game.” Thankfully, Twitch quickly corrected their mistake, and Daph is free to start streaming again whenever she feels like it.

Selling Sunset’s Brett Oppenheim debuts new girlfriend after Samantha split – Dexerto
Selling Sunset’s Brett Oppenheim debuts new girlfriend after Samantha split NETFLIXSince 2022 it was assumed that Brett Oppenheim was still dating Samantha Abdul, but apparently, we were completely wrong. When it comes to the brothers behind The Oppenheim Real Estate Group, Brett and Jason, they both have quite a relationship history to say the very least. Jason has dated half of the female cast of Selling Sunset (who also double as his employees,) including Chrishell Stause and Mary Bonnet Fitzgerald. His twin Brett hasn’t been with any of the stars of the show (as far as we know), but he has had several public relationships. At one point he was dating model Tina Louise, but the couple eventually split in 2021. Then, he began a romance with tattoo artist Samantha Abdul in 2022 and the two seemed to be completely smitten with each other at the time. Even though no official breakup announcement was made, Brett has made it clear on social media that not only are he and Samantha through, but he’s found someone new. On April 9, Brett took to his Instagram story to share a photo of himself and new his girlfriend Daniela enjoying themselves in Tokyo, referring to her as his “little cherry blossom”. Daniela soon hard launched their relationship on her IG too, with a short clip of the two holding hands on the flight into Japan. It’s unclear when their relationship started, but back in March 2023 Daniella posted a photo collage of her birthday and Brett was in one of the photos. If they have been together for a while, there’s a chance that she could make an appearance in the eighth season of Selling Sunset. A release date for the season has not been announced as of yet, but it has been filmed already so it’s only a matter of time until it releases on Netflix.

A recent social media comment seemingly confirms how they stand with each other. One of the biggest storylines of Season 5 of Selling Sunset was a certain on-screen relationship.

Selling Sunset: What is Amanza Smith’s net worth? – Dexerto
Selling Sunset: What is Amanza Smith’s net worth? INSTAGRAMAmanza Smith has been a consistent figure on the Selling Sunset cast lineup. Where does her net worth currently stand? Season 7 of Selling Sunset has been a season of drama for Amanza Smith. Although her friendships seemed to be smooth sailing earlier on in the show, that hasn’t been the case most recently. Based on her awkward tension with Chrishell Stause right now, viewers are on the edge of their seats to see where Amanza’s storyline is headed for future seasons of the show. Now, it’s time to do a deep dive into her finances. Where exactly does her net worth stand today after a successful career in real estate? Amanza Smith has a net worth of $1 million According to Pop Buzz, Amanza’s net worth is estimated to fall around $1 million. The bulk of her net worth has been accrued thanks to her position at the Oppenheim Group as a real estate agent. Before becoming a full-fledged agent, she worked as an interior designer for the brokerage. Her friendship with Jason Oppenheim is one of the reasons why her career has expanded so much over the last few years. She opened up about her failed marriage on Selling Sunset to explain why the real estate industry is so important to her. She was married to a former NFL player named Ralph Brown who dipped out on her and their two kids together. Without any support from Ralph (or knowledge of his whereabouts), stepping up to take care of their kids became a hugely motivating factor. Along with building her net worth as a real estate agent, Amanza and the rest of her Selling Sunset co-stars earn money for their time filming their hit Netflix reality TV show. The exact dollar amount they earn per episode isn’t public knowledge, though. What we do know is that Amanza is willing to invest in her wardrobe! Her fashion sense is always on point in episodes of the show and in every pic posted on her Instagram feed.

Selling Sunset fans defend Nicole for not “playing the game” of Reality TV – Dexerto
Selling Sunset fans defend Nicole for not “playing the game” of Reality TV INSTAGRAMThis theory about Nicole Young makes sense after witnessing her wild experience on Selling Sunset starting in Season 6. Fans of Selling Sunset have banded together to discuss a theory about Nicole Young and her presence on the hit Netflix reality TV show. Nicole is a newer addition to the cast, although she’s not exactly “new“ to the Oppenheim Group. She’s been selling mansions and luxury estates in the Los Angeles area with this brokerage for several years. She’s barely started snagging camera time with the rest of her co-stars in Season 6. Since she isn’t “playing the game” required in the reality TV world, fans are jumping to her defense. This theory about Nicole Young on Selling Sunset makes sense Is it possible Nicole only agreed to star on Selling Sunset because she wanted to further her career as a real estate agent? While some of the agents on the cast lean into the game of reality television for clout and notoriety, but doesn’t seem to be something that Nicole is drawn to. One Redditor created a thread to discuss the theory saying, “I think Nicole is just not made for reality TV… She’s a legit realtor first and foremost — she backed out of the show right before season one — then she saw the success of the show/ success of the ladies and decided she wanted in on it BUT… she doesn’t know how to play the game.” The “game” this Redditor is referring to revolves around knowing what you can say and when you can say it whenever the camera crews are around. It’s about making sure you’re on friendly terms with the most likable people in the office to avoid having a reputation smeared for millions of viewers to see. It’s about striking that perfect balance between being your most authentic self while also being slightly fake so the court of public opinion doesn’t shred you to bits. These are a couple of things Nicole didn’t prioritize or think about when she agreed to star on Selling Sunset. Getting into a feud with Chrishell Stause and being accused of drug abuse is a telltale sign of that. Another Redditor joined the conversation to say, “I agree and was thinking the same thing. She actually is a full time realtor and has over 100 million in sales. It would explain why she panicked while under attack and being accused of drug use, since this is her actual job and not a side project or a step towards fame. She was worried about her public reputation.” Now that Nicole has a little more insight into how reality TV works, there’s a chance she’ll start navigating differently in future seasons if she chooses to stay on the show.

Selling Sunset Season 6: Premiere date, trailer, more – Dexerto
Selling Sunset Season 6: Premiere date, trailer, more Instagram: sellingsunsetnetflixSeason 6 of everyone’s favorite reality real estate show promises to showcase even more drama as the Selling Sunset crew adds new realtors and storylines. It was an explosive season at The Oppenheim Group, as the real estate agents had to deal with difficult sellers and other agents. But most of the big drama came from within. Co-founder Jason Oppenheim and fellow cast member Chrishell Stause entered into a short-lived relationship, and agent Christine Quinn was thrown into the hot seat when costar Emma Hernan accused her of bribing a client to not sign with her. With Christine now gone and the future of The Oppenheim Group a bit up in the air, let’s take a look at everything the show’s sixth season has in store. Selling Sunset Season 6: When is the release date? Season 6 will premiere on May 19 on Netflix. As is the case with most Netflix shows, all 11 episodes will release on that date for subscribers to enjoy. Selling Sunset Season 6: Is there a trailer? The official trailer for Season 6 was released on May 4 and gave a glimpse into the sorts of conflicts that are in store for The Oppenheim Group. For starters, two new realtors – Nicole Young and Bre Tiesi – are joining the cast. But co-founder Jason is, apparently, not going to be around much this season as he is seen saying that he will be going off to Europe with his new girl. This leaves Mary Fitzgerald in charge of the firm, which already seems to have some cracks between new girl Bre and returning cast mate Chelsea Lazkani. There will also be the storyline of Heather Rae El Moussa’s pregnancy, which was featured prominently, and Jason’s ex Chrishell’s relationship with Australian artist G-Flip. And, of course, there will be all the requisite drama surrounding the listings as well as wide, sweeping shots of some gorgeous LA houses. You can follow all of Dexerto’s reality TV coverage here.

Selling Sunset fans convinced Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet was a better boss than Jason Oppenheim – Dexerto
Selling Sunset fans convinced Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet was a better boss than Jason Oppenheim NETFLIXWho has been a better boss between Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and Jason Oppenheim? Fans weigh in. When it comes to the Oppenheim Group, Jason Oppenheim is always thought of as the man in charge who runs everything. He put Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet in charge of things during one of his vacations, and that stint has fans of the show sharing their thoughts. Here’s what social media users have to say when it comes to comparing Jason and Mary’s management styles. Jason Oppenheim versus Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet A Reddit thread was launched to discuss the topic of Mary taking on the boss role at the Oppenheim Group. The Redditor who started the thread wrote, “Mary the manager. I know I’m not the first to have this thought but I haven’t happened to see a comment on it yet. But I think Mary did more to try to manage the girls and the drama on the show than Jason ever did.” Someone else joined the conversation to say, “I think no matter Mary’s efforts, which were valiant to her credit, the ladies saw her as their friend first more than they ever could as a manager.” They further explained that since Mary was already good friends with Nicole Young and Chrishell Stause, she didn’t exactly know which way to turn when Chrishell and Nicole started feuding with each other in such a dramatic way. Someone else added, “I always agreed with this. I love Mary I feel she is a genuine person and friend who hates conflict.” Another person noted, “I think the craziest thing is that she didn’t get paid more to be a manager, title change only. Opinions from the general public about who the better boss is between Mary and Jason will continue circulating.

Selling Sunset fans are questioning Emma Hernan’s financial status – Dexerto
Selling Sunset fans are questioning Emma Hernan’s financial status INSTAGRAMSelling Sunset is a show that promotes wealth, abundance, and opulence. Fans are curious about how Emma Hernan successfully fits that narrative. Episodes of Selling Sunset have become far more interesting since Emma Hernan joined the cast in Season 4. The ambitious, industrious, and high-vibrational real estate agent is one of the most beloved cast members. There’s a reason Emma’s amassed more than 2.4 million followers on Instagram! Right now, fans are questioning her financial status. Here’s what people are saying. The inside scoop on Emma Hernan’s finances A Reddit thread has been created to discuss Emma and her finances. The person who started the thread wrote, “How rich is Emma Hernan? Okay, watching S7E7, and Emma has a private jet? Have I missed something? How is she that rich?” According to Prestige, Emma is reported to have an estimated net worth of $3 million. In other words, she’s doing well as a real estate agent, reality TV star, and business owner. Someone responded in the Reddit thread, saying, “[She’s] very Rich. Generational wealth. Her family owns a frozen food company ‘Yankee Seafood’ in Massachusetts. Then she did her own niche with her frozen food spin-off. Hey, she flies private.” A third user added, “Various articles estimate her wealth at around $3 million and she is routinely listed as one of the richer agents in the office, after Jason and Brett obviously. “Given her career in real estate, as well as her separate empanadas business and some personal investments, I would imagine this figure is in and around an accurate figure.” In nearly every episode of Selling Sunset, Emma has proven herself to be a diligent and motivated real estate agent who does everything she can to achieve her goals. If reports of a $3 million net worth are truly accurate for Emma, her net worth will likely continue building and growing based on her work ethic and determination.

Self-proclaimed “Taco Bell King” reveals viral hack to save money on chips and cheese – Dexerto
Self-proclaimed “Taco Bell King” reveals viral hack to save money on chips and cheese Taco BellA Taco Bell worker who calls himself the “original Taco Bell King” has shared a viral hack with customers to save money. Fast food prices in the US are on the rise, with a 2023 report by Restaurant Business Magazine revealing an exponential 8.2% jump each year. It’s not uncommon for customers to spend over $30 on fast food, completely unheard of in previous years. A list revealed McDonald’s hamburgers only cost a low $0.85 in the 1990s, compared to the $6.19 of today. This has led avid fast food buyers to turn to various money-saving hacks, one of which has become a sensation on TikTok. How to save money at Taco Bell A viral video of TikTok user, caleb_lennon, a Taco Bell worker, is making waves on the platform. The self-proclaimed “Taco Bell King”, Caleb’s video has gathered over 100K views. He shares, “If you ring up the chips and cheese, it’s going to cost you $2.29… But if you ring up a side of chips and a side of cheese, it’s way cheaper”. He demonstrates this on the computer system workers use to fill in your order. Not everyone, however, was impressed. One commenter said, “The app doesn’t have a side of chips where I’m at.” Another commented sarcastically, “Cool let me just go behind the counter and ring things up.” Apparently, if you order via the Taco Bell app, you can’t utilize the hack. However, some customers complained that even when they ordered in person, the prices were still significantly higher than Caleb demonstrated. “Here the side of cheese alone is $1 and getting only chips isn’t an option”, one user comments. “Not even, they raised the price of cheese to $1 now”, another wrote. One thing that everyone agrees on, however, is that Taco Bell’s prices have become problematic: “This place used to be affordable. Now they price gouge their broke customers.”

‘Selfish’ Logan Paul called out by WWE star Seth Rollins: “He’s going to get creamed” – Dexerto
‘Selfish’ Logan Paul called out by WWE star Seth Rollins: “He’s going to get creamed” WWE, YouTube, WikiMediaCommons: Miguel DiscartLogan Paul has come under fire from one of the WWE’s top stars – Seth Rollins – who thinks that Logan doesn’t care about wrestling and has called the social media star a “leech”. Since his official debut match at Wrestlemania 38, teaming with The Miz in a victorious effort, Logan Paul has gone from strength to strength and already proved himself to be a valuable and talented wrestler. The proof was in the pudding when the social media star-turned-boxer officially signed a WWE contract. His star-making performance at Wrestlemania drew plaudits from some of the industry’s most elite figures from current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to legendary pro wrestler, now actor, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It seems that not everyone buys into the Logan Paul hype though as WWE stalwart Seth Rollins has revealed his disliking for the global superstar. WWE star Seth Rollins calls out Logan Paul Appearing on the Pat McAfee show, Seth Rollins was discussing all things with fellow WWE star Pat, and the pair got onto the topic of Logan Paul. When asked if he was on the Logan Paul bandwagon, Pat said: “I think it’s hard not to respect what he’s done, I mean he’s unbelievable!” Seth didn’t take too kindly to the words and proceeded to lay into Logan Paul: “The guy doesn’t care about nothing but himself. Look, I can respect the hustle, but he’s going to step into my world and get creamed.” The WWE star then discussed how Logan “is in it for himself” and how he doesn’t want him in the WWE “if he’s going to leech off of it.” He believes that Logan doesn’t care for the wrestling business and that’s why Seth “doesn’t like the guy, that’s why I don’t dig the guy.” As things wore on, you could tell the WWE star was getting more and more agitated to the point he even called out Logan Paul: “If he wants to say something to my face then we can talk about it. You know where to find me, every Monday night, I show up, I got to work, I put in the time, I respect the business.” Now, with this interview being strongly affiliated with the WWE, there’s every chance that this is a “work” to set up a tantalizing Wrestlemania 39 dream match between Logan Paul and Seth Rollins. Both are gifted athletes and should be capable of putting on a great match. With only two months until Wrestlemania 39 at SoFI stadium in California, the seeds may have already been planted between the two.

Selena Gomez responds on TikTok after kidney donor Francia Raisa seemingly shades her – Dexerto
Selena Gomez responds on TikTok after kidney donor Francia Raisa seemingly shades her TIKTOK: selenagomez/INSTAGRAM: selenagomezSelena Gomez took to TikTok to defend herself, following her kidney donor Francia Raisa’s comment about Taylor Swift being her only friend in the industry. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Selena revealed that she struggled to make friends with people in the entertainment industry. “I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities,” she told the outlet. “My only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift], so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong.” Soon enough, fans started speculating that the singer’s comments were a dig against her friend and kidney donor Francia Raisa. In response, Francia reportedly commented “Interesting” on an E! News Instagram post that highlighted Selena’s remark about Taylor being her “only friend in the industry.” She has since deleted the comment, however, fans also noticed that Francia doesn’t follow Selena on Instagram anymore. Selena Gomez responds following Francia’s reaction Following Francia‘s reaction, Selena responded to the situation, by commenting on a viral TikTok video that highlighted the issue. “Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know,” she wrote in the comments of content creator Stephanie Tleiji (stephwithdadeets)’s video explaining the perceived drama. Despite her apology, many viewers still expressed their disappointment with Selena, criticizing her for not “acknowledging” her donor, and claiming she pressured her friend into donating her kidney. Francia and Selena have been friends for nearly 15 years, and the actress donated her kidney to the singer in 2017, after she needed a transplant due to her battle with lupus. In 2021, Francia posted about the process of kidney donation on her Twitter, and in an Instagram post, though the latter has been deleted. Although Selena spoke about receiving a kidney in the Rolling Stone interview, she made no mention of Francia being her donor, which sparked feuding rumors between the two.
