Hasan fans go wild over viral watermelon-crushing TikTok Twitch/TikTok: HasanAbiTwitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker sent fans into a meltdown after he posted a TikTok video in which he crushed an entire watermelon with his thighs. The clip was in response to Hasan raising over $115k for women’s reproductive health services. Streaming star Hasan is famous for his recurrent political commentary, occasionally striking up some heated debates among fans both on stream and across social media. So, it’s no surprise that the news that millions of US women could be on the verge of losing the legal right to abortion according to a leaked government document, Hasan quickly condemned the move. He then went a step further by launching a charity drive to help women pay for safe abortions. He promised that if the fundraiser raised $100k, he would post a video of himself crushing a watermelon with his thighs. Going on to smash his target, Hasan kept true to his promise. Hasan’s watermelon-crushing TikTok goes viral Although his original target was $100k, Hasan’s campaign went on to raise $115k by the first day. So, it was time to live up to his promise to fans and show off his epic watermelon-crushing skills. Saying “promises made, promises kept, folks,” Hasan is featured sitting down on his outside patio before sticking the giant fruit between his thighs. His first attempt didn’t have the desired effect he was looking for. However, his second one went perfectly giving him the ‘explosive break’ he wanted. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load Fans could not get enough of the TikTok, with the clip reaching 412.7k views and 89k likes in just 18 hours, as of writing. One particularly enthusiastic fan said: “Not even watched [the clip] yet but I’ve saved it.” After Hasan joked that he should sell “freshly crushed watermelon directly from [his] thighs,” one responded: “I’ll take 10.” Since the video, Hasan has gone on to raise $150k for charities that provide financial support for women’s reproductive health services. But, he’s not stopping there as he promised that he will continue to raise money during his streams.

Hasan fires back at Elon Musk as feud ramps up again – Dexerto
Hasan fires back at Elon Musk as feud ramps up again Twitch: HasanAbi/Spotify: Joe RoganTwitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker clapped back at Elon Musk after the Twitter/X boss took a swipe at him on his social media platform. Over the last few years, the line between internet stardom and mainstream popularity has become blurred, especially when it comes to Twitch. Plenty of celebrities have gotten involved with streaming, be it by hosting their own stream or appearing on somebody else’s. Hasan, Twitch’s biggest political streamer, has been right at the forefront of that, streaming alongside a number of comedians, celebrities, and political names. The streaming star also isn’t afraid of getting into spats with people he doesn’t quite agree with, either. He has, at times, taken digs at Elon Musk, especially when it comes to his recent purchase of Twitter – which he has since renamed to X. Hasan takes dig at Elon Musk with Grimes photo Hasan doesn’t always draw a response from the people he takes shots at, however, Musk isn’t too shy about responding to people in his own way. He did just that on January 21 when he responded to a meme about a post from Hasan in September as he claimed he’d been taxed for electronics he’d taken on vacation with him to Mexico. Musk replied to the meme with a laughing emoji, invoking a pretty strong reply from the Twtich star. “Come on the show @elonmusk,” Hasan tweeted, including a screenshot of him talking to Musk’s ex-wife, Grimes when the Canadian singer-songwriter joined him on stream in April 2022. Some commenters urged Hasan to do a few streams on Twitter/X to further get Musk’s attention, but that’s unlikely to happen given his deal with Twitch. The Tesla CEO has joined internet personalities in their content before, most notably appearing in a PewDiePie video during his battle with T-Series. Though, who knows if this wild crossover would ever happen.

Hasan explains why he’s still “frustrated” over Jenna Marbles’ self-cancelation – Dexerto
Hasan explains why he’s still “frustrated” over Jenna Marbles’ self-cancelation Pixabay/Instagram/Hasan/JennamarblesPopular Twitch streamer Hasan Piker chimed in on Jenna Marbles’ self-cancelation after a photo of the former YouTuber posing with a fan went viral. Jenna Marbles was a famous YouTuber until 2020 when she decided to “cancel” herself over old videos that some critics deemed racist. The decision was met with a lot of controversies with some fans praising her decision while others felt like her self-cancelation was an over-the-top reaction. During a recent episode of Leftovers with H3’s Ethan Klein, Hasan touched on the cancelation after the new photo of her led to fans calling for Jenna to return to the internet. Hasan “frustrated” by Jenna Marbles’ cancelation After mentioning that he happens to like Jenna a lot, Hasan revealed that her decision didn’t sit well with him. “When I saw she self-canceled over her old videos, the way that people were like popping off on her, it just frustrated me so much,” the left-wing political streamer said. (segment begins at 12:30 for mobile users) “We have a tendency to only punish people who care, so you only punish people who have made amends and have tried to better themselves. And we’re so vicious to people who listen, because at a certain point it moves beyond genuinely trying to make progress and change,” he added. Hasan went on to state that some people will attack those who have “empathetic points of view” to their own plight. Klein agreed with Hasan about how people who “care” get canceled, noting how it frustrates him as well. Unfortunately for fans, it doesn’t seem like Jenna will be coming back to social media anytime soon, but if she does, it appears that Hasan will absolutely stand by her.

Hasan explains why Twitch streamers “can’t be open” about their dating lives – Dexerto
Hasan explains why Twitch streamers “can’t be open” about their dating lives Twitch: HasanAbiTwitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker has opened up about the struggles that he and fellow content creators have to face when it comes to dating. Streamers are regularly quizzed about their personal lives by fans, with one particularly recurrent topic being their dating lives. Although some streamers are open about their relationships, others keep them secret so that some parts of their lives remain private. However, it can also be to protect their partner from the pressures of being in the public eye, especially if they aren’t a celebrity. Now, popular streamer Hasan claims that streamers “can’t ever be open” about their love life due to the backlash it would spark from “psychotic” fans. Hasan on the struggles of dating as a streamer Hasan was reacting to Pokimane’s interview with Anthony Padilla on May 13, when her comments trying to date as a streamer prompted Hasan to open up about his own experiences. Although streamers are constantly in the public eye, the 30-year-old explained why they should keep their dating lives private. “When you’re a Twitch streamer you just can’t ever be open about that sort of sh*t,” Hasan claimed. The reason being is that it provokes attacks from “psychotic” trolls online. He also stated that it is no different for streamers who date a fellow creator, saying that it “should all be kept private.” Hasan claims streamers can’t date ‘Normans’ During his stream, Hasan agreed with Pokimane that it can be difficult for creators to date individuals from outside the streaming community because it opens them up to being attacked by trolls. However, it can be just as difficult for those dating a fellow streamer. “You can’t date ‘Normans’ when you’re a Twitch streamer because you’re literally opening them up to doxxing and harassment campaigns because people can’t hold themselves,” Hasan said. “You can’t date another content creator because then you have two psychotic fanbases that are working in unison.” Hasan admitted how fortunate he is to be a streamer and there are certainly many benefits of the job. But, according to him, balancing a hugely successful streaming career and a love life isn’t one of them.

Hasan explains why he turns down offers to host his own TV show – Dexerto
Hasan explains why he turns down offers to host his own TV show YouTube: Anthony Padilla / Unsplash.com: Diego GonzalezTwitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker is one of the internet’s most popular broadcasters — but he’s not interested in expanding his empire to appear on television full-time, just yet. Hasan is one of the net’s most recognizable streamers. Boasting over 2 million followers, Hasan has gained notoriety for his political commentary and humorous gaming exploits with other internet stars. Considering his experience as a full-time streamer and previous broadcast journalist with ‘The Young Turks,’ it isn’t surprising to learn he’s made a few guest appearances on TV shows in the past… but he doesn’t want a program of his own. On April 29, Hasan sat down with YouTuber Anthony Padilla to discuss his life as an online celebrity and where he sees his future taking him. Hasan explains why he doesn’t have his own TV show yet When asked if he’d been offered a TV show, Hasan admitted that he had — but he turns down these offers each time for one very specific reason. “I have, plenty of times, and I don’t like that,” he revealed. “I love what I do. I’m very fortunate. I love having a place where I can go to every day and talk about politics every day. I don’t wanna ‘expand.’ I don’t wanna grow.” “I want to grow, but as long as I can grow at my own pace. As long as I can continue doing what I’m doing and not change that, not be beholden to a larger company, or investors, or anything like that. Then, I’m fine. I’m fine with that growth.” (Topic begins at 23:55) Hasan’s interview with Anthony Padilla comes hot on the heels of his controversial $1,000 Coachella outfit, which garnered backlash on social media. Padilla mentioned this backlash during their interview, which sparked a few laughs from the duo. When it comes to his critics, Hasan had this to say:”It is ridiculous that people hold me to a standard that I, myself, do not hold myself to. I see myself as an entertainer, and I’m honest about it.” For now, it’s looking like Hasan is keeping his home on Twitch rather than prime time TV — although there’s no telling if a platform switch to YouTube won’t occur, as more and more streamers opt for YouTube offers.

Hasan explains why he would “absolutely” have Kanye West on his Twitch stream – Dexerto
Hasan explains why he would “absolutely” have Kanye West on his Twitch stream Kanye West/HasanTwitch star Hasan explained why he would have Kanye West on his stream if presented the opportunity as the rapper and designer continues to stoke controversy on social media. Hasan has been able to land some very popular guests on his Twitch stream in the past, like musician Grimes who finally made her debut on the live show back in April 2022. Now, as Kanye West continues to serve a suspension from both Instagram and Twitter, Hasan has clarified why he would still have the marooned rapper on his show despite his ever-escalating controversial takes. Hasan explains why he wants Kanye West on his Twitch stream The political streamer was live on October 18 when he responded to a viewer who asked him to not have Kanye on his broadcast. “I will not be listening to you at all about that. If given the opportunity of having Kanye West on the broadcast, I will 100% have Kanye West on the broadcast. And, I will not be listening to chatter who say ‘Oh my god, he’s gonna say anti-Semitic s**t.’ Yeah, of course he is.” He continued, “But, the difference between me and N.O.R.E is going to be me addressing the anti-Semitic dumb s**t he’s saying.” Although some of his viewers believe it would be a bad idea to bring Ye onto the broadcast, Hasan clearly is ready to make it happen if Mr. West ever wants to swing by his house. As Kanye continues to start a new controversy with each interview, Hasan hopes the next one is on his channel.

Hasan explains why he’ll never go on Joe Rogan’s JRE podcast – Dexerto
Hasan explains why he’ll never go on Joe Rogan’s JRE podcast Twitter: Hasan / The Joe Rogan ExperienceAfter a guest request thread about him on the Joe Rogan Experience subreddit gained traction, Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker explained why he’d never be invited to join as a guest on the show. Hasan used to work as a broadcast journalist and producer at The Young Turks and as a columnist at HuffPost. So, it’s only natural that when he became one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, he would still discuss politics from time to time. For that reason, many believe he would be the perfect guest to feature in an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). A campaign to make it happen started gaining traction on the JRE subreddit. After fans pointed out the thread to him, Hasan revealed he had already seen it. Still, he went back to have another look at the comments while streaming and explained why he thinks he’ll never be invited to join as a guest. First, Hasan claimed Joe Rogan’s fans don’t want him to appear on the show because they’re “worried that [he] is going to functionally agree with [him] because they know deep down inside [he] agrees with everyone and that would terrify them.” “Most of these people don’t even know that I hung out with Joe Rogan in real life,” he added, before insisting it was “something they would probably kill to do.” Then, he revealed the “real reason” why he thinks he won’t ever be invited. “The real reason why Joe Rogan will never have me on is because, like I said, I’ve criticized him too much. It’s just the truth,” he said. But despite that, and despite the fact some Joe Rogan fans expressed a desire not to have him on the show, many others believe he’d be the perfect guest. However, considering how hard it is for people to earn a spot on the show, especially if Rogan isn’t particularly interested in them, it seems unlikely.

Hasan explains why he doesn’t read Twitch donations & subs after leak backlash – Dexerto
Hasan explains why he doesn’t read Twitch donations & subs after leak backlash Twitch/YouTube: LeftoversHasan is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, and he’s explained why he refuses to read out Twitch donations and subs after backlash to his figures in the Twitch earnings leak. The leak was a huge one, breaching the source code for the Amazon-owned streaming service with over 120GB of data. The main leak of interest, though, was the total earnings for streamers over the past two years. Hasan himself featured pretty high on the list, coming in 13th ahead of the likes of Asmongold, Tyler1 and Castro. The list saw him earning $2.8m between August 2019 and October 2021, and due to his political output on the platform, immediately came under fire for it. Facing backlash for how much money he earns is not something new to Hasan. Earlier in 2021, he was under scrutiny after buying a house in Hollywood that cost just short of $3m, saying that everyone needs to “collectively calm down.” With the leak came even more outrage, and Hasan spoke a bit about the problem. “None of the people that are upset at me have ever watched me,” he explained. “If you did, you would know this is something that I acknowledge. This is something that I openly show in an effort to be as transparent as possible.” He then responded to the idea that he’s “banking on parasocial relationships,” explaining why that’s not the case. “I don’t read donations. I don’t read subscriptions… If you want to interact with me, you write in the chat. It’s the most democratic way possible. All you need to do is follow.” Topic starts at 3:19 While Hasan does still allow donations and subscriptions, it’s clear he doesn’t want viewers to be able to buy his attention in his Twitch stream. That said, he still receives donations and subscriptions in abundance, and that’s exactly how he’s been fortunate enough to place so highly on the Twitch leaked payouts list.

Hasan dumbfounded as US Senator Ted Cruz wishes Dream a Happy Birthday – Dexerto
Hasan dumbfounded as US Senator Ted Cruz wishes Dream a Happy Birthday Hasan/DreamTwitch streamer Hasan Piker was shocked when he pulled up a tweet on stream of US Senator from Texas Ted Cruz wishing Dream a Happy Birthday. Hasan Piker has become one the biggest streamers on Twitch via the Just Chatting category, focusing mostly on the political and cultural events of the day. His Twitch has grown exponentially over the last year, as he is now at over 1.4 million followers on the streaming platform. On August 8, he gave his thoughts on why, although it may be a good interview, he wouldn’t go on the Joe Rogan podcast if invited, saying “I’ve criticized him too much”. Now, Hasan gave his reaction to one of the strangest crossover moments of the year. Hasan, Ted Cruz, and Dream In a clip from his stream on August 12, Hasan was co-streaming with friend and fellow streamer AustinShow when they pulled up a tweet that would shock them to their core. Hasan’s jaw was agape as he pulled up a tweet from US Senator Ted Cruz wishing popular YouTube and Twitch streamer Dream a Happy Birthday. The crossover of the political world and the streaming and gaming world blew their minds. Hasan screamed “No. NOOO. What the f**k dude!” in response to the tweet. Austin was equally as dumbfounded, letting out many screams of “Nooo!” in the process. Happy birthday! @Dream My daughters asked me to say that…. — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 13, 2021 In the tweet, Ted Cruz says “My daughters asked me to say that…” showing that it’s likely he wouldn’t know who Dream was outside of his children. Dream is a superstar on YouTube, with over 25 million subscribers, and gained his popularity through Minecraft videos. Hasan replied to the original tweet saying “you fell off (hopefully) + permanent L for texas + ratio”. Hasan’s tweet currently has double the likes that Cruz’s original tweet has, sitting at over 50k likes.

Hasan explains how Andrew Tate “exploded” on social media before ban – Dexerto
Hasan explains how Andrew Tate “exploded” on social media before ban Twitch: Hasan/ Andrew TateTwitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker has shared his views on how controversial internet star Andrew Tate manage to “captivate” young audiences on social media before his various bans. Andrew Tate dominated the internet throughout Summer 2022 with his highly controversial views, particularly those regarding women. However, what became particularly worrying for many was the affect it was having on his young male viewers. Following on from calls for social media platforms to take action against Tate, he suddenly found himself being banned from Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Eventually, it lead to him backing down from the internet. Twitch star Hasan believes that despite his “dumb” views, Tate was able to “very successfully penetrate social media” by sparking debates with his controversial views in a way “we’ve never seen before.” Hasan blown away by Andrew Tate’s quick rise to fame On August 25, Hasan discussed Tate’s deplatforming with his viewers. His fans were particularly worried about what Tate’s “15 minutes of fame” said about “young men.” But, for Hasan, it’s more to do with how Tate worked on social media. He argued: “[It] doesn’t stay anything about the state of young men. If anything it says the state of how you can use […] right wing narratives and really explosive commentary to blow the f**k up in our social media environment.” Hasan added that Tate was able to “blow up” on the internet so quickly because he was “reinforcing pre-existing dynamics” and subsequently appealed and ‘captivated’ young audiences with his “dumb” views. (Topic in video begins at 04:38:30) Hasan further claimed that the main difference between him and Tate, other than being on the opposite ends of the scale with their social and political views, is that he has been vocal about his “leftist” views throughout his streaming career, but it was never to go viral. The content creator isn’t the only streamer to have shared their take on Tate’s internet-wide social media ban. For instance, Asmongold, Dream, and Sidemen’s KSI have similarly offered their opinion on the topic. Tate may have officially said goodbye to his fans on the internet, much to the relief of his critics. However, with him continuing to be a hot topic of conversation across social media, this likely won’t be the last we’ve heard of Tate.

Hasan explains how xQc could have avoided Adept breakup drama – Dexerto
Hasan explains how xQc could have avoided Adept breakup drama YouTube: HasanaAbi / YouTube: xQcOWTwitch streamer HasanAbi weighed in on how fellow streamer xQc could have avoided the brunt of the drama surrounding his breakup with Adept. Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has currently been embroiled in drama after pulling out of QTCinderella’s Shitcamp 2022 event and his now-public breakup with fellow streamer Adept. Prior to announcing his breakup as the reason for skipping Shitcamp 2022, streamers like Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker publicly called out xQc for “bailing” on the event last minute. Now, after learning about xQc and Adept’s breakup, Hasan has spoken out about how he believes xQc could have avoided the drama he finds himself in. Hasan speaks about xQc drama During a recent stream, Hasan explained that he thought xQc could have handled the situation better in hindsight. Speaking hypothetically, Hasan said, “We’re now in a different universe where xQc says ‘Hey, my bad for not showing up last second. I had some f*cking family issues going on.” Hasan goes on to clarify that this way, the streamer didn’t even need to publicly mention the fact that he and Adept broke up and that his fellow streamers would have understood his absence. “Everyone is understanding. Everyone says ‘Aw man, that sucks. That’s so sad. We understand. We love you. xqcL’” Hasan mentions this could have spared xQc and plenty of other creators, including himself, a lot of drama, had he approached the situation this way instead. “A universe where I’m not like, ‘Yo that’s really f*cked up that you didn’t show up last second and then literally said ‘Oh I’m not showing up because…’ He was rushing to find any reason whatsoever, and he chose the worst possible reason.” Hasan then read out and agreed with a chat comment which said that xQc would have been treated exactly how other streamers who pulled out of the event were treated. “Exactly. None of this drama would have f*cking happened. None of this would have happened. He wouldn’t have had to come out and defend himself by openly stating that he and Adept have broken up…”

Hasan defends Pokimane after Train calls streamer “most corrupt” figure on Twitch – Dexerto
Hasan defends Pokimane after Train calls streamer “most corrupt” figure on Twitch Twitch: HasanAbi / YouTube: PokimaneTwitch streamer Hasan came to Pokimane’s defense after Train called her one of the “most corrupt” figures on the platform during a Discord call. Twitch has been rife with drama over the past week. Between the site denying requests for a 70/30 subscriber pay split with its streamers, placing restrictions on gambling streams, and now seeing the exit of its SVP of Global Creators, things just aren’t slowing down for the purple streaming platform. In between these moments, several streamers have come under fire, with Mizkif most recently being accused of attempting to cover up an alleged sexual assault. Amid these accusations, streamers Asmongold, Trainwreck, and Mizkif, hopped into a Discord call to discuss the issue, where Train notably called Pokimane one of the most “corrupt” broadcasters on the platform. During the call, Asmongold said: “I don’t know why y’all collaborate with them,” speaking to Mizkif about Pokimane and Hasan. “The second that you look bad, they will turn on you.” “No s**t,” Train replied. “That’s what Poki does. Poki is one of the most corrupt figures on Twitch.” Hasan came to Pokimane’s defense during another broadcast reacting to the call, where he argued against perceptions of Pokimane ‘dropping’ certain people to look good. He argued in favor of the streamer’s ‘integrity,’ bringing up her response to the accusations against Fedmyster that arose in 2020. Hasan responds to viral Twitch Discord call “Train is out of his mind,” he began. “That’s just classic Train. I think what Asmon is trying to say, I guess, is — ’cause that’s Train’s words that he’s saying, that Poki’s ‘corrupt.’ Asmon’s not saying that.” “I think Asmon’s saying that those people, whether it’s me or Poki, in general, will drop you if you come across like you’ve done something bad. Which, for the record, you know, yeah. I mean Poki had a friend, someone living under her roof, who did stuff like this. I mean, worse things. And we know what happened. She showcased her integrity in that circumstance.” “I’m not gonna change my values because of the way I feel about certain things.” (Topic begins at 3:50) Pokimane has yet to respond to Train’s comments, but recently stated that she would be distancing herself from the drama to focus on her friends and creating content.

Hasan dismisses Valkyrae’s call out over RFLCT drama – Dexerto
Hasan dismisses Valkyrae’s call out over RFLCT drama TwitchRachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter continues to deal with the fallout of her RFLCT product launch, with fellow streamer HasanAbi responding after finding himself in her crosshair. The launch of Valkyrae’s RFLCT skincare line has made waves across social media with the products coming under fire for their claims about protecting skin from blue-light reflection. Rae herself has come under intense scrutiny about the products and their claims, responding on two separate occasions to the criticism, and noting that she no longer wants to be involved. During one of her responses, the 100 Thieves co-owner touched on the fact that not many of her peers had offered too much support, and Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker dropped her DM telling her to relate the drama to some of the sponsorships other streamers had taken. Hasan mocks RFLCT Valkyrae claimed that she “misinterpreted” what Hasan had meant at first, and apologized when he tweeted: “I don’t log on to twitch for one day and people are yelling at me on Reddit what the hell,” back on October 24. Though, her post has since been deleted. During her stream with Mizkif, where she further opened up on the controversy and noted that she was initially skeptical about the product itself, Rae jokingly called Hasan a “piece of sh**,” struggling to hold back the laughs as she said it. As he noted in his first post on the matter, Hasan was unaware of the comments due to personal obligations but after becoming aware of things, he addressed them on stream – initially poking fun at the claims around blue light protection when relating it to his own merch. He noted that he had spent the day away from social media, only checking late in the day. “All of a sudden I’m seeing people say like, ‘dude, you got owned’. What the f***? Valkyrae owned me?” added Hasan, confused by the barrage of comments. Even with the surprise of these comments, Hasan dismissed them quickly: “Apparently there was some f****** drama. But like, who gives a f*** really?” Hasan quickly moved on to other topics on his stream, seemingly putting the drama in the rear-view mirror. Though, the internet continues to ravage the RFLCT products as it has become the butt of many social media memes.

Hasan claims Dave Chappelle has ‘lost touch’ after Netflix special controversy – Dexerto
Hasan claims Dave Chappelle has ‘lost touch’ after Netflix special controversy Instagram: Hasan / NetflixHasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker believes popular comedian Dave Chappelle has ‘lost touch’ after his Netflix special controversy and likened him to a “boomer yelling about things he cannot understand.” Dave Chappelle has come under fire for making several jokes during his Netflix special, The Closer, that have been deemed offensive towards the LGBTQIA+ community. Some Netflix employees even walked out in protest over the release. Joe Rogan, who has been friends with Chappelle for a long time, defended him. He insisted Chappelle is “not a homophobic or transphobic person,” claiming he was “just making jokes,” which he believes doesn’t amount to hate. However, Hasan, who is a self-proclaimed fan of the comedian, is less inclined. He told fans he was “disgusted” and “disappointed” with the jokes he made about trans people and described the special as “sad.” “I was endlessly disgusted [with] boomer-ass Dave Chappelle with his boomer-ass takes on trans people,” he said. “It was disappointing, to say the least. “Even if you’re a Dave Chapelle fan like I am, seeing a mid-ass stand-up special was kind of f**king sad. It was just a boomer yelling about things that he cannot understand.” Hasan also claimed that anyone saying it’s funny is a “massive bootlicker.” In his view, they’re people who are blinded by the fact they’re a “huge fan” of the comedian and can’t see that his special was just “hack sh*t.” Chapelle addressed the issue on October 25, claiming he is “more than willing” to meet with members of the transgender community to talk about it. However, he also dismissed the outrage as “nonsense” and said he wouldn’t be “bending to anybody’s demands.”

Hasan “deeply frustrated” by US healthcare as MrBeast cures 1000 people’s blindness – Dexerto
Hasan “deeply frustrated” by US healthcare as MrBeast cures 1000 people’s blindness Twitch’s variety/political streamer Hasan has expressed his disappointment in the US healthcare system while watching MrBeast cure 1,000 people of their blindness. MrBeast recently released what he claims to be his favorite video of all time, in which he works with SEE International to provide Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) to 1,000 patients around the globe. SEE describes this procedure as “the simplest, most cost-effective treatment for cataracts by a significant margin” and states the barrier to its use is knowledge, as the technique has a low material cost. A surgeon featured in MrBeast’s video stated that half of the 200 million blind people in the world could be cured with a 10-minute surgery. While watching the video on stream, Hasan became “filled with rage,” claiming the American Healthcare system has locked an accessible surgery – and in turn, people’s eyesight – behind a paywall. Hasan rages at American Healthcare during MrBeast video Hasan watched the MrBeast video during his January 29 stream featuring YouTuber Valkyrae. At one point, Valkyrae let out a loud “aww,” as a woman shed tears after regaining her site, but Hasan had a different reaction. “You watch this video and go ‘aw, how cute. how nice.’ I watch this video and I’m filled with rage,” Hasan stated, “We shut off access to a 10-minute procedure because we paywalled it and decided that some people simply can’t get it.” He expressed his frustration further, stating instead of making this procedure readily available, it’s up to “one YouTube guy” to provide the surgery to people who are too poor to afford it themselves. According to a National Library of Medicine study, MSICS costs a hospital less than $16 in materials. Insurers report that the average cost of cataract surgery in the US ranges from $1,600 to $2,600. And without insurance, cataract removal can be as high as $6,000. Medicare beneficiaries can expect to pay roughly $316 out of pocket for cataract removal surgery. That’s 2000% more than the cost of materials for the 10-minute MSICS procedure.

Hasan confronts Trainwreck over charity work and gambling in heated stream – Dexerto
Hasan confronts Trainwreck over charity work and gambling in heated stream Twitch: HasanAbi/TrainwrecksHasan and Trainwreck clashed in an intense livestream, after the gambling streamer criticized Hasan’s charity work and political stances. The stream was moderated by xQc, who is a mutual friend of both Hasan and Trainwreck. xQc organized the debate to clear the room and “to get you guys stop subtweeting each other”, and said that he had spoken to both of them both on and off-stream about the conflict. However, the mood immediately turned sour when Hasan brought up Trainwreck’s response to the charity fundraising that Hasan worked on. “What you’re doing right now is not genuine criticism. It’s just pocket-watching, and also undermining something that I did. Train countered by saying: “The pocket-watching is justified based on what you preach”, referencing previous criticism Hasan received about making large purchases, such as a million-dollar property in California, despite identifying as a socialist. Hasan responded by attacking Train’s content as “false hope”, because it revolves around gambling, and also addressed his move to the alternative streaming platform Kick. “You’re not selling false hope, because you said gambling is bad? Meanwhile, you sit there and generate almost hundreds of millions of dollars.” “Ironically, you started off talking about how you hated how much hot tub streamers were awful, and now you’ve got porn on your platform. So maybe, you now recognize the importance of moderation, especially as it pertains to an overall platform.” Train defended himself by saying that he makes money from the exclusivity of his content, and that he does not profit from other people losing while gambling. What did Trainwreck say about Hasan? This is not the first time Hasan and Trainwreck have clashed. Earlier this month, Trainwrecks criticized Hasan’s charity work after the February earthquakes in Syria and Turkey. In collaboration with IShowSpeed, Hasan raised over $1 million dollars in relief funds, 50,000 of which was matched by his personal donation. However, Trainwreck dismissed this as “a small percentage”. In his reaction to the clip, Hasan brought up Train’s income from gambling streams, and suggested that dismissing his charity work could harm the people who need the donations. “Look at him undermining 50 grand. Like, I’m sorry I don’t have $700 million from crypto and gambling sponsorships. That’s crazy.”

Hasan confused as Joe Rogan YouTube video hit with manual copyright claim – Dexerto
Hasan confused as Joe Rogan YouTube video hit with manual copyright claim Instagram: Joe Rogan / Twitch: HasanAbiTwitch star Hasan Piker was caught off guard during a recent Twitch stream after Joe Rogan reportedly hit his YouTube video with a copyright claim. As one of the biggest social media personalities today, Hasan built a name for himself with his online commentary and reaction-based content. One particular name he often finds himself reacting to is none other than Joe Rogan. With dozens of Twitch stream segments clipped off and later uploaded to one of his YouTube channels, a good amount tend to feature footage from the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. While this has been a common practice of Hasan’s for months, a recent clip came under fire. “I got manually claimed by Joe Rogan,” Hasan revealed during a January 6 Twitch stream. The claim targeted a December 24 YouTube upload with the title: ‘Joe Rogan is worse than Fox News.’ Surprised by the news, he explained to viewers how Rogan “never manually claims people. I immediately texted my YouTube partnership guy,” Hasan said, “and he was like, ‘yeah, that is weird.’” Unlike a copyright strike, Hasan’s channel as a whole wasn’t impacted. Instead, the copyright claim took over monetization on the specific video, Hasan clarified. However, while it was a manual claim, it appeared to come from ‘SuperBam,’ a rights management service allegedly representing Rogan’s content. “SuperBam is really f***ing annoying,” Hasan said, having dealt with the team before. “They took the revenue of one of our Jubilee videos and Jubilee loves when other YouTubers react to their content.” Unfazed by the newest claim, the streamer stressed how all Rogan reacts videos are “always fair use. It’s straight-up combating misinformation being spread. “I’m not gonna call Joe a bi**h who can’t handle criticism without learning who made the manual review.” Hasan’s team is currently looking into so for now, we just have to wait and see what happens. Either way, it’s a “weird” situation, and one that’s new for Hasan’s YouTube channel. However, it doesn’t seem he’ll be stopping his Rogan-related uploads anytime soon in light of the claim.

Hasan confronts Adin Ross over “problematic” style of humor – Dexerto
Hasan confronts Adin Ross over “problematic” style of humor Instagram: adinross, hasandpikerAdin Ross has become one of the fastest-growing and biggest names on Twitch, but as such he’s also been met with a lot of criticism, from peers and critics alike. In his short tenure at the top of Twitch, Adin’s streams have been a constant source of debate among the community. One huge problem people have mentioned is his gambling streams. H3H3’s Ethan Klein called him out for it on his return to Twitch. He and the rest of his LA housemates — FaZe Banks, Mike Majlak, Sommer Ray and RiceGum — are reportedly being paid $2m a month to promote their gambling streams. Now, Adin’s style of humor is under fire again, with fellow streaming star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker confronting him on his “problematic” content. For anyone unfamiliar with Adin’s stream, he will often make jokes about being attracted to collaborators, and this has landed him in hot water more than once. He fell out with top rapper Polo G, who didn’t appreciate the jokes, while he’s also been accused of queerbaiting by critics online. Confronting him during a livestream with other top creators, Hasan explained why Adin’s style is an issue, comparing him to rapper Jack Harlow. “Jack Harlow does this a lot, right,” he started. “But when he does it, there’s a different vibe to it. He’s doing it in a non-problematic way.” He continued: “You know that he’s not making being gay the butt of the joke. There’s a better way to do it. It comes from understanding and it comes from learning about the experiences of marginalized people, LGBT people, where you understand the plight that some go through.” Adin responded by saying that he was “just so loss at how good [Hasan] looked,” joking that his “arms are amazing.” While Hasan brushed it off, Ethan Klein quickly returned to the gambling problem, and there didn’t seem to be much more of a discussion around Adin’s style of humor. Whether Adin reconsiders this in the future remains to be seen, but Hasan clearly believes there’s room for improvement.

Hasan confirmed as H3 Podcast’s new “Leftovers” co-host with Ethan Klein – Dexerto
Hasan confirmed as H3 Podcast’s new “Leftovers” co-host with Ethan Klein Twitter: @h3h3productionsTwitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker has joined H3H3’s Ethan Klein for a new political podcast called “Leftovers.” The YouTuber surprised viewers after revealing the YoungTurks streamer as his co-host. Following the end of Frenemies in June 2021, Ethan Klein finally debuted his new podcast, Leftovers. The H3H3 creator surprised viewers after announcing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker as his co-host for the program. In the series’ first episode on September 26, the YouTuber revealed that the show would focus on politics and current social issues. The duo promised viewers they would not shy away from taking on hot button issues. Ethan Klein launches new political show with Hasan Piker H3H3’s Ethan Klein surprised fans with a new show co-created by Twitch star Hasan Piker. The YouTuber explained the series’ name to viewers stating, “The reason it’s called Leftovers is because we are lefties and nobody likes politics so it’s like the leftover content.” The popular comedian also opened up about about why he selected Piker for the project. “I love politics. What I appreciate so much about Hasan, and why I’m so happy to make a show with him is because he made [politics] popular and cool. And I love and respect so much of what he’s done. I feel so blessed.” Hasan addressed the show’s creation and said “Hopefully the fans feel the same way” before joking about H3 losing fans to fellow podcaster Joe Rogan over their political stances. “They’re all watching Joe Rogan in the hospital.” The podcast’s fiery debut episode spared few, taking on figures such as Tucker Carlson, Bill Gates, and even former President Donald Trump. Piker and Klein used the first upload to call out “grifters” trying to spread misinformation about vaccines. The H3 podcast creator acknowledged that some fans would hate the new politically driven show. “Listen, I’ve had enough of you guys complaining that you don’t want me to talk about politics. So I went and made a whole show about it. The spirit of this show is not serious policy debate, it’s bringing righteous justice to these sh*t bags and clowning on idiots!” the YouTuber exclaimed. This isn’t the first time that Ethan Klein and Hasan Piker have teamed up. The content creators went viral after debating streamers Adin Ross and Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel about gambling streams on Twitch in July. According to the former YoungTurks personality, the two had “vibed” over it and knew they would make a show together eventually.

Hasan claps back at Adin Ross over “crypto scam” and gambling as streamers clash again – Dexerto
Hasan claps back at Adin Ross over “crypto scam” and gambling as streamers clash again Hasan/Adin RossTwitch star Hasan ‘Hasanabi’ Piker hit back at Adin Ross after the Kick streamer suggested he was being hypocritical in blasting him for being in streaming for the money. Over the last few months, Hasan and Adin Ross has clashed a number of different times across Twitch and Twitter, with Hasan regularly confronting Adin about his “problematic” content. The political streamer most recently said that Adin is going down a “bad path” with some of his comments. They had stayed out of each other’s way for a while, however, tensions between them kicked off again on March 19 when Hasan stated that he believed Adin was just trying to stay relevant following his Kick deal. Adin had back at that, claiming he doesn’t need to be relevant after his mega payday, suggesting Hasan was being slightly hypocritical and that he is in the streaming for the money too. Hasan hits back at Adin Ross over viral relevancy clip It didn’t take long for the Twitch star to clap back at that, though, as he went off on Adin in a Twitter thread a few hours later. “Bro really said he’s authentically awful actually. I was hoping it was an act tbh,” Hasan replied, noting that his “values” have remained the same since he started streaming and he now just has a bigger audience. “Ironically I quit my job at TYT cus they told me to stop streaming. I got very lucky and it worked. it also worked because love what I do,” he continued, before taking another few swipes at Adin’s deal with Stake. “Go look at my hours & compare them to yours. Hard to understand for you since you only care about the money with your crypto scams & gambling sponsors.” A number of fans urged the two to debate on stream, but that’s pretty unlikely to happen anytime soon. Though, the pair will probably continue shots at each other regardless.

Hasan claps back at Twitch haters after buying $200,000 Porsche – Dexerto
Hasan claps back at Twitch haters after buying $200,000 Porsche YouTube: HasanPopular Twitch streamer Hasan ‘Hasanabi’ Piker has clapped back at haters after outrage from buying a $200,000 Porshe Taycan. In August 2020, Twitch star Hasan came under fire for purchasing a luxurious Hollywood home that cost him an impressive $2.74 million. Many critics believed the purchase was hypocritical, given that he identifies as a socialist, but he quickly clapped back at those complaints, noting it’s a family home and also a place for him to work. Now, Hasan is once again facing backlash for purchasing a new car that set him back $200,000, leading him to clap back at the “predictable” haters. After buying his brand-new $200,000 Porshe Tycan during a live stream on February 4, Hasan began receiving backlash for the expensive and extravagant purchase. However, the popular Twitch streamer was prepared for the hate – in fact, Hasan even predicted it would happen in a tweet from August 2021. Quote retweeting his old post, Piker added: “If you even got mad for a second about this new car meme on the internet, I own you. I’m living rent-free inside of your mind. You are predictable.” if you even got mad for a second about this new car meme on the internet, i own you. i am living rent free inside of your mind. you are predictable. https://t.co/h5k6wNqiXz — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) February 5, 2022 In follow-up tweets, Hasan continued: “Nobody thinks I’m some socialist Jesus.

At a certain point, I’m sure people will stop being mad about this.” nobody thinks i’m some socialist jesus. i’m a twitch streamer telling you why you’re probably angry. all my content is free everywhere. i let ppl make money off their fan channels. yet some still choose to give me money. at a certain point i’m sure people will stop being mad this — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) February 6, 2022 Despite facing some heat on social media, Hasan still has a large number of supporters behind his back.

Hasan claims he’s close to quitting Twitch: “I feel like I’m losing my mind” Twitch: HasanAbiTwitch star Hasan said he is seriously considering quitting streaming for “a while” after being harassed constantly. The 30-year-old told viewers he has been pushed to his limit. Despite propelling to the top of Twitch’s most watched channels in 2021, Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker revealed that he considering taking a break from going live on the platform.

I’m very close to quitting streaming for a little bit,” he said. “These past couple of days I’ve been thinking about it. It doesn’t feel good when I stream anymore.” Read More: KSI fans concerned by Instagram post – Piker showed his viewers an example of why he wanted to take a hiatus by pulling up a hateful message he received from a viewer. “This is why. I hate myself. I hate everyone. I’m constantly f**king stressed out. It’s disrupted my sleep cycle,” he said, before opening up about how he no longer feels like he can speak freely in front of his audience. “I can’t even be f**king honest with my own community for a single moment. It’s like everything I say can and will be used against me. I feel like I’m going crazy. I feel like I’m losing my f**king mind! It’s so f**ked, and there is no way to show how f**ked it is until you experience it. But it’s making me f**king go crazy!” Hasan also told viewers that he now constantly feels anger. “There are so many people that are deranged and delusional that cant help but harm others in a similar capacity,” he said. “They want others to be like in the same dark pit that they exist in. And I’m constantly on the defensive. I now blow up on people regularly. I see everyone looking for deeper meaning in every random action I engage in whether it be Twitter or Instagram.” The 30-year-old Twitch star said the amount of hate he’s been getting has become overwhelming. “It feels like my streams have been invaded by outside sources that have been able to dramatically alter the mood and the attitudes in the chat. For every other dips**t that I ban, there’s 20 others that take their place.” Piker revealed that him and his family had been getting doxxed and swatted off camera, before reiterating that the stress had become too much. At the time of writing, it’s not clear when Hasan will take a break. However it sounds like it will be temporary if he ever does.

Hasan claps back at Adin Ross claiming Twitch hot tub streams “promote poison” – Dexerto
Hasan claps back at Adin Ross claiming Twitch hot tub streams “promote poison” YouTube: Adin LiveTwitch streamer Hasan has clapped back to Adin Ross’ calls that hot tub streams should be banned from the platform, claiming they “promote poison.” Launched in 2021, the ‘Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches’ category on Twitch has become the primary category for thousands of creators on the platform, with the most popular one being Amouranth. On his January 21 stream, Twitch star Adin Ross called on the platform to ban hot tub streams, claiming they are “promoting poison” and a “problem.” Now, Popular political commentator Hasan has clapped back at Adin’s comments in a reply on Twitter. Hasan claps back to Adin Ross’ calls for Hot Tub stream ban On January 23, two days after Adin made his comments, Hasan quote retweeted a clip of Ross’ stream with his response. “Lil bro just wants to corner the market,” he said. Underneath his comment is a screenshot of Adin’s YouTube channel with videos titles like “Sky Bri is cheating on me?” and “Adin Ross asks Sky Bri to be his girlfriend…” Other Twitter users were quick to respond to Hasan’s comment as well. “Oh I was wondering why anyone would watch him or how he became popular,” one user replied. Another user said: “I’m sure he’d be totally cool with those hot tub streams if they were hosted by Tate.” “He’s a new man now that he’s bald,” a third commented. Adin has become friends with Andrew Tate over the last few months and have gotten close enough that Adin might visit Andrew Tate while he remains in Romanian custody.

Hasan calls out Trainwrecks for “undermining” his earthquake relief fund – Dexerto
Hasan calls out Trainwrecks for “undermining” his earthquake relief fund YouTube: HasanAbiPopular Twitch streamer and content creator HasanAbi hit back at TrainwrecksTV for “undermining” his personal earthquake relief fund donations. For those who may have missed it, popular content creators HasanAbi and IShowSpeed set out to raise funds for the devastating earthquakes that affected Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023. Despite eventually raising well over $1 million of relief funds through donations, both from viewers and fellow Twitch streamers, the pair received some backlash over the course of the event. Now, Hasan is once again speaking out about his fundraising efforts after TrainwrecksTV seemingly belittled Hasan’s personal donation efforts to the relief fund. Hasam slams Trainwrecks for “undermining” relief fund donations The clip comes from Hasan’s stream on March 14, 2023. Towards the tail-end of the stream, Hasan reacted to a portion of a conversation between streamer willneff and Trainwrecks. In the conversation, willneff and Trainwrecks discussed Hasan’s political leanings and the controversy surrounding his wealth. In the clip, Trainwrecks claimed people need to show support through their actions in certain situations, to which willneff asked if Hasan’s earthquake relief fundraiser did not showcase this. Trainwrecks responded and said, “I think it’s nice to crowdfund to match a small percentage of that yourself, but -” Hasan then stopped the clip to weigh in on Train’s opinion. “Look at him undermining 50 grand. Like, I’m sorry I don’t have $700 million from crypto and gambling sponsorships. That’s crazy.” The streamer was left stunned after Trainwrecks claimed the amount Hasan donated was “a small percentage” of the total fund, which sits at $1,390,453.90 at the time of writing. He went on to explain that influencers “always undermine” large charity donation efforts. “They don’t shut the f*ck up about a $1,000 shirt for 700 years, but the moment that I put 50 grand out of my pocket for something I f*cking believe in—that’s a tiny percentage.” Hasan ended the clip by saying it’s potentially harmful when other streamers undermine the effort that creators put into setting up charity fundraisers like his earthquake relief efforts, and that a lot more work goes into it behind the scenes than some may think at first glance.

Hasan claims he would “utterly destroy” xQc in a boxing match following tier list beef – Dexerto
Hasan claims he would “utterly destroy” xQc in a boxing match following tier list beef Hasan Piker recently created a tier list of internet personalities he would either beat or fall to in a fight during which he claimed he would “utterly destroy” xQc. The beef started between Hasan and xQc after Felix created a streamer tier list. xQc placed himself in the top tier and placed Hasan in B-tier stating he “likes Hasan a lot”. While xQc claims the B-tier placement was because of the streamer’s lack of versatility, Hasan claimed it was because he wouldn’t have the French-Canadian on his stream during a trending political event. Hasan went on to call out xQc’s gambling streams and stated Felix “wasn’t a good person”. xQc responded to Hasan’s claims on stream stating they were “lame as f**k”. Hasan ranks xQc on fighting tier list On June 19, Hasan took to Twitch to create his own streamer tier list, but with a twist. Instead of ranking their abilities as a streamer, he ranked the candidates based on whether he could beat them in a fight. Hasan would place xQc in the “would utterly destroy them” tier alongside Asmongold, Shroud, Ninja, and more. However, Hasan’s chat would provide him and his guests with various clips to use as evidence for his placement. These clips included footage of xQc at the gym, punching a sandbag, wrestling Sodapoppin, and boxing Esfand. The three laughed at xQc’s form and often compared the size of his legs to Hasan’s arms. The three agreed that Hasan would destroy xQc in a fight if there was no weight class. However, if they were to box it would be near impossible for Hasan to shed enough weight to compete fairly. After placing xQc in the worst tier, Hasan sarcastically remarked, “I take tier lists very seriously. Obviously, that’s definitely why I’m very upset. Everyone was very correct on that assessment.” He ended the segment by stating, “Now xQc can do a ‘f**k this guy what a hypocrite he did a tier list after complaining about a tier list’ thing.”

Hasan calls out Mizkif for “undermining” accusations against him amid OTK investigation – Dexerto
Hasan calls out Mizkif for “undermining” accusations against him amid OTK investigation YouTube: HasanAbi / Twitch: MizkifTwitch star Hasan claims fellow streamer Mizkif is “undermining” accusations against him of allegedly covering up a sexual assault while OTK has hired a third party to investigate the situation. In September 2022, Twitch star Mizkif was accused of purportedly covering up the sexual assault of a woman, an act that was allegedly carried out by streamer CrazySlick. Mizkif was placed on leave from OTK, a streaming organization, amid the allegations, while they hired a third party to investigate the matter. Since then, Mizkif has been largely silent on social media — but on October 10, he returned to Twitch in his first live stream since going dark. During his broadcast, Mizkif explained that he wasn’t able to discuss the situation as advised by his legal counsel, saying the serious incident is not “Twitch drama.” However, before speaking on the subject, Mizkif was loath to address anything while fellow streamers Hasan and xQc were watching and sharing their own reactions with their audiences. While he attempted to wait them out, Mizkif played a parody of a sexual harassment PSA for use in the workplace — something that viewers found in poor taste. Hasan reacts to Mizkif’s return to Twitch Mizkif explained that he had been looking for a specific clip from sitcom ‘The Office,’ but stumbled upon that video instead. Hasan, however, feels that Mizkif was “undermining” the allegations against him by playing the video, especially in light of the legal investigation on the matter. “Like, playing a sexual harassment video when you’re gonna talk about your involvement in what is otherwise potentially covering up sexual assault, you’re undermining your own argument, especially if there is an ongoing legal case,” Hasan argued. Hasan went on to admit that he didn’t expect Mizkif’s stream to play out the way it did and thought he’d “have a lengthy statement prepared” to discuss the allegations, saying his latest statement has only “extended” the drama. For now, Mizkif is remaining silent on the matter as the investigation continues — an investigation he claims he’s “very confident” about.

Hasan calls out TikTok for repeated bans over viral videos – Dexerto
Hasan calls out TikTok for repeated bans over viral videos YouTube: HasanAbiPopular Twitch streamer Hasan is putting TikTok on blast for purportedly banning him when his videos go viral on their platform, allegedly due to mass reporting. Hasan is a prominent streamer on Twitch, where he boasts over 2.3 million followers. Although Hasan often streams alongside and plays video games with other broadcasters, he’s best known for his political commentary, which makes up a large portion of his content. Hasan often comments on current events and social issues. From time to time, he’ll post clips from his Twitch streams to his TikTok account, where he discusses these subjects. However, Hasan claims that TikTok frequently bans him any time one of his videos talking about social matters takes off on their platform — something he says happened quite recently, as his account is currently unavailable due to a purported ban. Hasan permanently banned on TikTok The streamer made this claim in a tweet on January 16, showing a message from TikTok that his account had been “permanently banned” due to “multiple violations” of the site’s Community Guidelines. According to Hasan, his account gets mass reported when these videos take off, prompting TikTok to shut down his profile any time his videos go viral. The latest video to prompt a ban, as per the streamer, was a clip pairing Hasan speaking about racism paired with an ASMR and gaming video. “Every time a TikTok of mine goes viral, I get mass reported and permanently banned,” he wrote on Twitter. “Nice system.” That’s not all; Hasan claims that his editor’s account was banned, as well, and called for the site to take action to help with the purported mass reports against him and his fan accounts. i hope someone at @TikTokSupport can explain to my why my account along with my editor @ostonox was banned at the same time. we routinely have to deal with mass reports from the right and now they’re even going after fan accounts. pic.twitter.com/1tNDKquTAc — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) January 16, 2023 As previously mentioned, Hasan has been given the boot on TikTok several times before. In 2022, Hasan was notably banned from the app after he uploaded a video criticizing Queen Elizabeth II amid news of her death. Hasan has also slammed TikTok in the past, calling the app the “dumbest social media platform” after receiving an unexpected ban due to its Community Guidelines last year. Hasan unbanned on TikTok after “hateful conduct” The Twitch streamer later shared his DMs with TikTok support on Twitter, showing that he’d been allegedly banned for “hateful conduct” by speaking about racism on MLK Day. In the conversation, a representative told Hasan that the ban would stay due to this reason, prompting Hasan to ask if the response was automated. Luckily, as of January 17, Hasan’s TikTok account has officially been reinstated – but he claims the account of his editor, Ostonox, remains banned. Oddly, his profile photo was removed, as was his bio and username. Hasan has since uploaded a different profile picture, but his numeral-filled username remains. For now, ostonox is still attempting to get back on TikTok amid this latest drama. We’ll keep you updated right here on Dexerto.

Hasan calls out “insane” fans accusing him of secretly dating Pokimane – Dexerto
Hasan calls out “insane” fans accusing him of secretly dating Pokimane HasanAbi, Pokimanelol – TwitchTwitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker has called out “insane” members of his fanbase, exposing messages from an overenthusiastic viewer who accused him of hiding a purported relationship with fellow streamer ‘Pokimane.’ Pokimane is one of Twitch’s top broadcasters, best known for her humorous interactions with fans and hilarious commentary — but some members of the site’s community believe she’s in a covert relationship with Hasan in spite of her clearly single status. These rumors date back for quite some time, with both entertainers having addressed the topic in past streams; but it doesn’t look like their explanations are enough for a few curious viewers. Hasan brought up the subject once again during a June 8 broadcast, noting that he’d received a disturbing direct message from a fan who claimed that he was keeping his alleged relationship with Pokimane a secret from the community. “Lol, you and Poki just got back at the same time,” Hasan read aloud. “9 PM last night. Lol you should just make it less obvious that you met up.” The streamer held up his phone to show off the message for good measure, lest anyone not believe him, clarifying that he’d been isolating outside of attending protests. “I took a screenshot of this, ‘cause I was like, ‘What the f**k is this bro?’” he said of the message, incredulous. “Are you insane? The only other person I’ve seen outside of these f**king protests have been Will and my brother. These guys are insane, dude. What the f**k are they doing?” “If they’re doing this to me, okay, someone who Imane has appeared on the stream of, like, f**king a year ago, what the f**k are they doing to her, or all of the other friends she lives with and s**t?” he continued. “These people are nuts, dude.” Pokimane even expressed her feelings on the topic a year beforehand, claiming that she’d “tried to separate [herself] from people once all that started happening,” calling the situation “gross.” Needless to say, it’s never a good idea to pry into public figures’ private lives, no matter how famous they are — especially in such an invasive way.

Hasan calls out Ludwig for trying to cause Twitch ad-apocalypse amid TV meta – Dexerto
Hasan calls out Ludwig for trying to cause Twitch ad-apocalypse amid TV meta Twitch star Hasan ‘Hasanabi’ Piker has called out Ludwig for snitching on streamers that are capitalizing on the current TV show and move meta. In the last few weeks, some of Twitch’s top streamers watching TV shows and movies on stream have prompted worries about potential DMCA issues on the platform. One creator to express his concerns is former Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren – who signed an exclusivity deal with YouTube in November. In a video uploaded on January 2, the streamer warned others that they’re “dangerous territory,” with the current meta. Now, the video has provoked Hasanabi to call out Ludwig for “dry-snitching,” and attempting to cause advertisement issues for Twitch. In his January 7 stream, Hasan reacted to Ludwig’s video calling out Twitch streamers like xQc, Karl Jacobs, and Mizkif for broadcasting entire TV shows and movies that could lead to DMCA issues. Read More: Pokimane banned on Twitch amid DMCA drama – “Oh come on Ludwig. Like, making a video like this is even worse dude. Making a video like this only draws attention to it and it’s absolutely- it’s just dry-snitching,” said the Twitch star. Hasan continued and accused Ludwig of trying to cause an ad-apocalypse: “This is the type of sh*t that you do to try to cause an ad-apocalypse for Twitch. Even if he has an adequate and appropriate point of view on this and a smart and reasonable approach on this, he knows, he f**king knows this will turn into something if you do that. If you make YouTube videos about it, it will turn into something.” “Ludwig is a very smart guy. As a smart dude, he absolutely knows pointing this out in a YouTube video is only going to draw more attention to it, especially because a big part of this is directed by companies personally taking action,” he added. While it looks like Hasan isn’t bothered by the risk of DMCA strikes, slowly other top streamers are beginning to pull out of the TV show meta after Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys was banned for the first time during her 10-hour Avatar The Last Airbender watch party.

Hasan calls Andrew Tate a “baby” after he’s ‘kicked off’ Twitch stream debate – Dexerto
Hasan calls Andrew Tate a “baby” after he’s ‘kicked off’ Twitch stream debate Twitch: buckefpsPolitical Twitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker joined a livestream with viral sensation Andrew Tate for a debate, and was removed from the stream after things got heated between the two. Mere hours after saying that he doesn’t believe Andrew Tate has any interest in debating him, Hasan ended up in a stream with the controversial social media star and four-time kickboxing world champion, alongside Fortnite pros Clix and Bucke. It didn’t take long for the debate to kick off, with Hasan immediately questioning Hasan’s thoughts on women, saying that a lot of the issues he addresses boil down more to capitalism than gender. It was when the conversation switched to Tate’s business practices that things really picked up, though, and there became a clear agitation between the two, with Tate saying that Hasan should be kicked for making the stream “boring.” Hasan went on to imply that Tate’s Hustlers University business is a pyramid scheme before Tate once again called the streamer “boring” and said he’d already won, asking for Hasan to be removed from the stream. Bucke then ended the call, saying that they were going to bring in someone new, with Hasan saying that Tate “cried like a baby” when he was challenged. The streamer then took to Twitter to joke that it’s “no wonder Andrew Tate had to quit kickboxing, my mans frame shattered after I asked 2 questions about his business.” Both parties clearly feel like they won the battle, so while Hasan feels as though Tate will “never speak to him again,” there would definitely be interest from both sets of fans for these two to have an actual debate.

Hasan calls out Adin Ross for celebrating “false copystrikes” on YouTube content – Dexerto
Hasan calls out Adin Ross for celebrating “false copystrikes” on YouTube content Hasan/Adin RossAdin Ross is getting called out online for allegedly making false copyright claims against other creators like Hasan Piker, after filing a copystrike against YouTuber Internet Anarchist. YouTube has a variety of measures in place to ensure that content violating copyright laws can be quickly claimed by the rights holder, and it’s a necessary part of making sure things like full, feature-length movies aren’t published to the platform. However, there are some side effects to having an accessible copyright system. For years, content creators have been able to make claims against other people’s videos. Adin Ross is being called out by multiple creators for celebrating after a copystrike he filed against YouTuber Internet Anarchist wound up losing, according to his tweet about the subject, upwards of $8,000. Adin Ross allegedly files “false copystrikes” against creators Internet Anarchist released a video covering the drama that went on between Sneako and penguinz0 (a.k.a. MoistCr1TiKaL), which Adin Ross wasn’t a huge fan of. So much so that he decided to file a copyright strike against the YouTuber. That strike has since gone through and Adin Ross celebrated the moment on-stream with his chat, which resulted in people accusing him of filing copystrikes against creators for illegitimate reasons. Hasan has also called out Adin Ross, saying that he has also had falsely claimed his content in the past. Adin said on-stream “Put a W in chat, we just stole $8,000 dollars from him. W!”. Hasan replied by saying Adin Ross is reaching “new levels of stupidity” for celebrating this and drawing attention to the fact that he filed a copystrike against another creator. He also pointed out that he doesn’t know Internet Anarchist despite Adin’s claims that the YouTube is Hasan’s “head mod”. This has also led to creators calling out YouTube’s system for being abusable. Adin has yet to respond to these callouts at the time of writing.

YouTube investigative journalist Coffeezilla made waves on social media after releasing a three-part series looking into Logan Paul’s CryptoZoo project. After pushing the videos live, they’ve garnered attention from everyone across the internet as Coffee revealed tons of investors have lost thousands of dollars on the project, labeling it a “scam.” Logan Paul responded with various tweets and jabs at Coffee, and finally on January 3, released a full video addressing Coffeezilla directly for the first time on his main YouTube channel. Hasan reacts to Logan Paul addressing Coffezilla The 31-year-old was live on January 3 when he watched Logan Paul’s video addressing Coffeezilla, and was stunned by what the YouTuber-turned-boxer decided to focus on. Paul opens the video by claiming Coffee’s judgment was “clouded” by his desire to go viral. Hasan responded, “What the f*ck. Bro, this dude conducted a two-year-long investigation, showed proof of a very obvious interest in rug-pulling, and now Logan Paul’s like, ‘Oh, you’re click-baiting.’ Come on, dog.” Hasan also was stunned by Logan going after Coffeezilla’s credibility as a journalist. Paul went as far as to say that Coffee is a “lopsided journalist with an agenda” and is “nothing more than the Keemstar of crypto.” Piker said, “The disrespect here is f*cking insane, holy shit. He’s unironically like, ‘Hey, I used to love your work, but also, now that you’ve come after me multiple times, it’s kind of f*cked up. I’m gonna just say you’re Keemstar.” The political streamer was stunned that Paul was more interested in attacking Coffeezilla’s integrity as a journalist rather than defending himself from the “scam” accusations made in his trilogy of videos.

Hasan blasts “loser” FaZe Rain for remarks about Grace Van Dien – Dexerto
Hasan blasts “loser” FaZe Rain for remarks about Grace Van Dien YouTube: Anthony Padilla / Nordan ShatTwitch star Hasan wasted no time criticizing “loser” FaZe Rain for his biting comments toward Stranger Things actress Grace Van Dien after she joined the team. Esports and entertainment group FaZe Clan is undergoing a time of turmoil as many of its founding members are lashing out at the organization for its recent business decisions. Things turned up a notch after the team announced it had signed Stranger Things actress Grace Van Dien as a streamer on May 25 — something that prompted a particularly outraged reaction from co-founder Nordan ‘Rain’ Shat. On top of leaking her addition to the org’s roster several days early, he went on to make several eye-popping remarks toward the actress after she hit back at him for saying she’d “made Stranger Things her entire personality.” Most notably, Rain hit out at Grace for not knowing what “trickshotting” was before throwing some personal insults her way, calling the actress “excruciatingly mid, who I would never let touch me on my drunkest night.” (Topic begins at 7:58) Grace hit back at his remarks by mentioning Rain’s previous struggle with drug addiction — a comment that many critics called a “low blow,” resulting in even more backlash against the org’s newest member. However, several other prominent names in the gaming space have spoken out in support of Grace, with Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan being just the latest of these. Hasan puts FaZe Rain on blast after comments toward Grace Van Dien During a May 29 broadcast, Hasan decided to react to the ongoing situation, notably calling Rain a “loser” for his “cringe” remarks toward Grace (as well as his apparent support for inflammatory online figure Andrew Tate). “What kind of f*ckin’ dork s*ht is this?” he blasted, mocking Rain’s complaints about Grace not knowing what a trickshot was. “It’s 2023, dog! What the f*ck are you talking about trick shots, dumb*ss? Who the f*ck cares!” “I’m all in support of you trying to turn around and trying to get control of this brand, okay? But what the f*ck are you doing? …perhaps this is precisely the reason why you f*ckin’ lost control of the brand to begin with, because a bunch of you unhinged weirdos behave this way.” (Topic begins at 19:01) He also discovered that Rain had blocked him on Twitter before he even reacted to the drama, causing him to openly laugh that he’d been “pre-blocked.” Hasan is just the latest streamer to speak out in support of Grace, following comments from Disguised Toast and Asmongold who also openly backed the actress as she faces criticism in the wake of her addition to FaZe.

Hasan blasts Jake Paul for “fake sociopath” build up of Tyron Woodley fight – Dexerto
Hasan blasts Jake Paul for “fake sociopath” build up of Tyron Woodley fight Showtime PPVFollowing the face-off between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley ahead of the fight on August 29, popular Twitch streamer Hasanabi roasted Jake Paul for his “fake sociopath” persona. Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley have traded some vicious pre-fight jabs but things intensified when they down for Showtime’s MVP Face 2 Face interview. The face-to-face sit-downs are an opportunity to get inside your opponent’s head, and of course, in classic Jake Paul fashion, this was another chance to provoke the former UFC champ and live up to ‘The Problem Child’ moniker. During the face-off, Jake Paul decided to go for a unique style of trash talk, one that didn’t land quite that well Twitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker. Hasan was one of many to react to the face-to-face. Just a couple of minutes into the video, the political commentator was very quick to call out Jake, roasting him for the fake “sociopath” persona that he believed he was putting on throughout the video. “I hate this fake ‘I’m actually a sociopath’ thing that he’s doing,” Hasan started. “Jake Paul is a demonstration that white mediocrity can still pretty much get you to the top, as long as you’re in the right place at the right time. I’m sorry dude, but like straight up, upper-middle-class Ohio, literally he’s got no discernible skill sets.” The Twitch star went on to compare Jake to Private Pyle from the popular movie Full Metal Jacket, saying: “‘Oh yeah I got you mad right? I’m doing this sociopath voice’ like he literally sounds like Private Pyle dude.” While the face-to-face can be used to get inside your opponent’s head, it’s also a big opportunity to further build the hype, which leads to more PPV buys. The pair are set to net a nice payday from the bout, and Jake has his ‘boxing hit list’ in mind should he walk away with the min.

Hasan blasts Andrew Tate for ‘backtracking’ following Facebook and Instagram ban – Dexerto
Hasan blasts Andrew Tate for ‘backtracking’ following Facebook and Instagram ban Twitch: Hasan/ Instagram: Andrew TateTwitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker has lashed out at controversial internet figure Andrew Tate, who defended his comments after being slapped with a ban from Instagram and Facebook. Andrew Tate has been dominating the internet in recent months with his controversial takes, especially with regards to his views on women and their place in society. However, he has continued to deny any accusations that he is “misogynistic” and claimed he is instead a “realist.” On August 19, following a whirlwind of controversy and high-profile clashes, Tate was slapped with a ban from Facebook and Instagram. The reason was supposedly violating their policies on “dangerous organizations and individuals.” Tate later took to Adin Ross’ Twitch livestream to discuss the ban and his comments, once again, sparked fury for Twitch streamer Hasan. Hasan slams Andrew Tate during Adin Ross Twitch livestream Hasan was reluctant at first to broadcast Tate’s interview during his livestream but eventually caved in after being swamped with requests in his chat. Unsurprisingly, he had a lot to say when Tate claimed: “The idea that I hate women is so far from the truth.” Bursting into laughter, Hasan responded: “What the f**k! That’s so funny to say, dude. Yo, you do hate women you p***y. What do you mean? He does hate women.” He further claimed that Tate’s supposed U-turn on his views about women during Ross’ stream was only due to his Facebook and Instagram ban. Whereas, when he’s surrounded by “hype-men” his attitude is much more ‘misogynistic.’ As Tate went on to promote a new “game” based on his training course ‘Hustler’s University’, Hasan branded him a “grifter” and a “salesman.” He continued to blast him for “always selling,” in this instance to Ross’ 93k viewers. This isn’t the first time that Hasan has hit out at Tate. The two famously locked horns in an explosive argument which eventually saw Hasan being kicked off the stream after disputing Tate’s views. Tate is now banned from three of the biggest social media platforms: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. However, his controversial views are continuing to frustrate Hasan.

Hasan blasts “gremlin” Adin Ross for banning him from Kick – Dexerto
Hasan blasts “gremlin” Adin Ross for banning him from Kick YouTube: Adin Live, HasanAbiTwitch star Hasan is putting Adin Ross on blast after the streamer revealed that he’d preemptively banned both him and Mizkif from Kick. The streaming wars are heating up as Twitch faces backlash from all sides after introducing its new guidelines for branded content on June 6. As a result, a slew of top streamers have threatened to leave the site altogether if these changes go through — and other streaming platforms are wanting a piece of the pie. Kick is one such platform, where top streamer Adin Ross makes his home alongside Trainwreck and, most recently, BruceDropEmOff. Although Kick has offered to reimburse partners who wish to end their contracts with Twitch, there are two people in particular that won’t be joining the new site: Hasan and Mizkif. During a recent broadcast, Adin Ross — who recently claimed that he now owns a percentage of Kick — said that he blocked Mizkif and Hasan from signing up to the competitor platform. “There’s only two streamers that are banned from Kick,” he explained to his viewers. “Mizkif, you can’t come. You’re not coming to Kick, bro. I’m sorry, you’re not coming, bro. Me and Bruce don’t want you here, you’re not coming. That’s first. F*ck you. Suck a d*ck.” “Hasan, you’re not invited either,” he added. “I’m gonna be honest, bro, you’re not coming. Those two are banned. ‘Kay? They cannot come.” Hasan caught wind of Adin’s comments and hit back at the Kick streamer in a scathing tweet, calling him a “gremlin” and claiming that he had no intentions of joining the rival platform, anyhow. “More streaming platforms means Twitch can’t make decisions like the ones from yesterday,” he said. “This will improve the space for streamers and watchers, alike. For that reason, I hope Kick becomes successful, in spite of this little gremlin doing his very best to undermine that.” “Having said that, banning me from Kick when I have no intention of going there is pretty funny, like I’m good man, thanks.” Adin was quick to offer his own reply to Hasan’s post by making mention of his profile photo, which he changed in support of Pride month. “How come for Black History month you didn’t change your profile pic to support that month?” he asked. “I’m just curious, genuinely asking.” Mizkif has yet to comment on Adin’s claims of blocking him from Kick — but he’s already made a second home for himself on Rumble, where he streams occasionally while continuing to broadcast regularly on Twitch.

Hasan, AustinShow & Ranboo left injured after TwitchCon go-kart crash – Dexerto
Hasan, AustinShow & Ranboo left injured after TwitchCon go-kart crash Hasan Piker/RanbooThings got a little crazy during a go-kart race amongst streamers where a collision appears to have left Hasan Piker, Ranboo, and AustinShow injured. TwitchCon Paris has seen the world’s biggest streamers come together to celebrate the platform in one big get-together where they can meet fans and each other. However, with so many streamers in one place, it’s no surprise that some of them opted to hang out and explore Paris during the event’s off-hours. A bunch of streamers opted to do some go-kart racing, only for Hasan, AustinShow, and Ranboo to end up injured. Go-kart crash at TwitchCon leaves Hasan, Ranboo & AustinShow injured In what has turned into a bizarre bonding experience for a few of Twitch’s biggest streamers, a go-kart collision has left Hasan, Ranboo, and AustinShow visibly injured. Fortunately, Hasan and Austin weren’t too seriously hurt. Austin appeared to only have some scrapes on his finger, and, while Hasan still has suspicions that his ribs are broken, he’s still walking around TwitchCon with a bit of road rash and some breathing issues. It’s still unclear if Hasan has gone to the doctor to make sure his ribs are ok, but he’s still attending TwitchCon as normal and hasn’t had any additional complications at the time of writing. Ranboo, however, didn’t get off quite as easy. He posted a video of him being wheeled away in wheelchair. His jeans were cut clean off from the knee-down, assumedly for medical personnel to dress his injury quickly. However, the streamer has assured everyone that he’s doing ok. These streamers had nothing but words of support for each other following the collision, and it’s turned into a bonding experience for the three of them. Ranboo has yet to give an update on his condition and whether or not he’s got any injuries beyond surface-level scrapes. This comes just a short time after he suffered severe burns while filming a live show for Twitch, making it a rough year for one of the platform’s biggest streamers. However, considering the circumstances of the crash and the shared experiences between these three, hopefully they’ll be able to laugh it off and look back on it fondly once they’re all healed up.

Queen Elizabeth’s death on September 8 sparked an outpouring of heartfelt tributes across the world, including some kind words from some popular influencers. One streamer that fans were eager to here from was Hasan who has previously been vocal about his problems with the British monarchy and is known for having a poster of the late Queen and Barack Obama in the background of his livestreams. Hasan was actually away from his streaming setup and in the middle of an activity during QTCinderella’s Shitcamp when he heard of Her Majesty’s passing and he didn’t do much to hide his delight.

Although he didn’t give a specific reason, fans began to speculate that it was due to his comments in the viral post. Referring to the controversial influencer Andrew Tate being deplatformed by numerous social media apps including TikTok, Hasan joked: “First they came for [Tate], now for me.” The news was met with upset among some of Hasan’s fans, especially those who hadn’t saved his viral watermelon-breaking TikTok video from May 2022. However, others were quick to save it on to Twitter. Hasan’s account has since been restored following on from the suspension. Although, it’s unclear what the official reason for the ban was and whether it will be able to post more videos.

Hasan and Sodapoppin go at it after supcaitlyn rates him “below average” among streamers – Dexerto
Hasan and Sodapoppin go at it after supcaitlyn rates him “below average” among streamers Sodapoppin, Hasan, supcaitlinTwitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker was joined by supcaitlin as they ranked streamers based on their appearance, and when Sodapoppin found out where he ranked, he wasn’t too happy. Hasan has a variety of guests on his stream regularly, from political correspondents to other popular streamers. This time, fellow Twitch streamer supcaitlin joined him for the very first time, and Hasan had her rank other top Twitch streamers based on attractiveness. These ‘ranking’ games among streamers are always entertaining for viewers, but have sparked arguments in the past too. Caitlin ended up ranking a massive swathe of top creators, from Tyler1 to Ninja. When they got to Sodapoppin, however, things got pretty spicy as Caitlin ranked him quite low – and he saw it go down. Caitlin placed Sodapoppin into the “C- below average” tier in her rankings, which prompted Soda to respond “who tf is this b***h and why did she put me there.” Soda was Hasan and Caitlin’s stream live, and so Hasan hit back, joking, “No don’t worry, he’s used to it. He’s not used to girls rating him low. He’s used to girls always like ‘oh my god Sodapoppin you’re so f**kin’ hot.’” Soda rages at Hasan’s comments, “That’s not true! That’s not true!” Hasan continues, “Yeah, f**k you Soda, that’s what happens when you hang out with Alinity the entire f**kin’ time when she’s in Austin. Guess what *fake gun sounds* that’s all I’m gonna say.” Sodapoppin was just generally perplexed by this response. Soda caps it all off by shouting, “You f**king shallow b***h!” The arguing seems to be all in good fun as the two are friends in real life and have streamed together before. Caitlin called the low ranking a “humbling experience” for Soda. When Hasan had Caitlin rank fellow Twitch streamers he knew there would be some hilarious moments to come from it, and luckily it didn’t disappoint. Elsewhere on the list, Caitlin ranked Hasan in the top-ranked S tier, as well as Sykkuno and Cody Ko. The average-B tier was rounded out with Ninja and xQc. Falling into the “Not Shot” tier at the bottom, we have Keemstar and Mizkif.

Hasan appears on BBC TV while live on Twitch to discuss US gun laws – Dexerto
Hasan appears on BBC TV while live on Twitch to discuss US gun laws Twitch: HasanAbi/ BBC NewsContent creator Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker made a surprise appearance on BBC News all the while streaming on his Twitch channel to share his opinion on the dispute over US gun laws. As well as being a Twitch streamer, Hasan is famed for his political and social commentary via his platform. Getting into heated debates with fans and his fellow streamers, he isn’t afraid to share his left-wing views and discuss some of the world’s most serious topics. One particularly sensitive topic which has divided the globe is the discussion over the US’s gun laws following numerous and devastating shootings in the country. It wasn’t long before Hasan was asked to share his take on the issue. Hasan appears on the BBC On June 7, Hasan was in the middle of a Twitch stream when he broke away for an interview with the BBC. Of course, he made sure to have his picture of Queen Elizabeth II and Barack Obama in full view. When asked about whether there could be change to laws surrounding gun ownership in the US, Hasan responded: “There’s always been real momentum to try and enact some kind of change with regards to gun violence in this country, but unfortunately I’m a little more pessimistic than [the UK].” It comes after the US was shaken by a series of devastating mass shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo and at an elementary school in Texas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH1cLT9Qu4w A vast number of public figures have called on the US to tighten the laws over gun ownership to avoid any such disasters occurring again. However, according to Hasan, it might not be enough. He claimed: “The gun manufacturers are proportionately too powerful of an industry and the gun lobby is incredibly powerful with their lobbying efforts.” He added that while the public are “traumatized” by the events, “What the people want in America and what the politicians end up doing are two completely different things.”

Hasan agrees to pay YouTube editor after “exploitation” accusations – Dexerto
Hasan agrees to pay YouTube editor after “exploitation” accusations Twitch: HasanabiTwitch streamer HasanAbi has agreed to pay an editor after he made explosive allegations accusing The Young Turks star of exploiting his labor. On November 25, a user by the name of AsarathaHS, who also goes by ‘Blake’ on Discord, took to Reddit to claim that Hasan “gave him false hope” for a full-time editing position. The user explained how back in June he heard Hasan say he was looking for an editor and reached out to him asking if it was okay if he edited his gameplay videos. AsarathaHS said he expected no compensation for these videos and that he made them to show he was capable of making a video a day. Once a few more videos were produced, edited and uploaded, AsarathaHS explained to Hasan he was interested in being his full-time editor and provided screenshots of the exchange. In the screenshots AsarathaHS provided, Hasan replied “I can tell haha” when Blake inquired about the editor position. He would then go on to say that he was “trying to find someone who’s doing exactly what you’re doing,” but capable of making longer breakdown videos. After a few more videos were made including one about the DemDebate and US Senator Kamala Harris, Blake explained he hadn’t been able to keep up and was still looking for a job. In the Discord screenshots dated October 3, Hasan replied apologizing to the video editor and told him he doesn’t “have the kind of clout that makes other people profit off my clips yet.” Finally, on November 19, Blake asked the left-wing streamer if he was still looking for an editor, but never received a reply. For his part, however, Hasan claimed Blake never asked for compensation for his work. “People send me videos they edit all the time. If they ask for compensation I pay them,” he wrote in a reply. “This person never asked for compensation.” “I’m terrible at communicating (as the editors I work with will tell you) but I would’ve paid this dude if he wanted me to, I liked his editing,” he continued. “If he wants some money for it, I’ll pay him too (idgaf about him trynna hurt my rep, he’s entitled to compensation for his labor since he obviously had a different opinion about our relationship).” “Going forward I don’t want people to send me free edits or memes, or hls [highlights] unless I tell you ‘yeah I really like this can we work together I would love to pay you,’” Hasan went on. While the whole thing could have ended a lot worse, Hasan took the high ground by offering Blake some compensation. That being said, the lack of communication between the two parties was certainly a major issue in what could have been an otherwise good working relationship.

Hasan and Austin cause carnage in flight simulation stream – Dexerto
Hasan and Austin cause carnage in flight simulation stream Twitch: AustinShowTwitch streamers Hasan and AustinShow had viewers in hysterics after they hired out a flight simulator during their IRL stream. On their way to TwitchCon 2022 in Amsterdam, streaming friends Hasan and Austin have made a series of short trips along the way and taken their viewers for the ride. The two even went to Buckingham Palace as they arrived in London. However, Hasan’s excitement over going to the Queen of England’s home was abruptly caught short by Austin. Having continued with their stay in the UK, they decided to try their hand at a flying simulator with disastrous and hilarious results. Hasan and AustinShow hire flight simulator On July 12, Hasan and Austin decided to try their hands at flying an airplane in a “$30 million full motion 737 flight training simulator.” However, it wasn’t long until it descended into chaos. Both wannabe pilots made numerous rookie errors, much to the amusement of viewers. Their high-pitched screaming also proved hilarious. At one point, Austin was just in the arduous process of taking off when Hasan said: “I wonder what this does?” Whatever button he pressed caused a disaster and had the two screaming for their lives as they plummeted to the ground. However, the pair still saw it as a success having had “zero flying experience” and clearly enjoyed the adventure as well as their viewers, one of which claimed that the “stream should win an award.” Although, another begged them to “never fly a real plane.” The trip was a “childhood dream” come true for Austin who shared with his fans on Twitter that he was finally able to complete his long-time wish of being “a commercial airline pilot.” Hasan and Austin’s first piloting experience together had some bumps in the road. However, it did help them skyrocket on Twitter’s trending list.

Hasan accuses Addison Rae of performing “demonic sacrifices” to achieve internet fame – Dexerto
Hasan accuses Addison Rae of performing “demonic sacrifices” to achieve internet fame Netflix / Twitch: HasanAbiTikToker Addison Rae has just made her major movie debut with Netflix’s ‘He’s All That’ — but Twitch streamer Hasan isn’t convinced she’s achieved her status as a movie star by the holiest of means. These days, more and more influencers are making their way into the mainstream. From YouTubers attending the Met Gala to TikTokers appearing in major music videos, it seems like social media stars are coalescing with A-List celebs more and more often. However, not everyone is super jazzed about this phenomenon. Influencers rumored to be attending the 2021 Met Gala have been met with a slew of criticism, with many internet commenters claiming that they haven’t done enough to warrant a spot at such a prestigious fashion event. Addison Rae — a TikToker with over 83 million followers — is receiving similar comments after starring in Netflix’s ‘He’s All That,’ a remake of the 90’s classic ‘She’s All That.’ Thus far, the flick has received a 28% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and is being roasted across social media for Addison’s acting skills, continuity errors, and other faux pas. Twitch star and political commentator Hasan has joined in on the public lambasting of Rae’s acting chops… although his take on the situation is decidedly more hilarious than anyone else’s. According to a jokey tweet from Hasan, Addison must have performed some “demonic sacrifices” to satisfy the gods of fame, thus affording her a music career, makeup line, and a budding status as a movie star without having “many discernible skills” to show for it. idc about addison rae but every-time i see videos of her i feel like she must’ve done some demonic sacrifices to get to that level of clout w/out many discernible skills. i’m sure plenty people feel this way about me as well tho — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) August 31, 2021 Of course, Hasan is well aware that plenty of people have said the same thing about him in the past — especially after he bought a $3 million home (which had the entire internet in an uproar for days). Addison herself has been quite adamant that critics “give her a chance” on the silver screen, having been met with all kinds of criticism throughout her career as an online entertainer. Stating in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Rae argued: “People have a lot to say about ‘Did she work for it, does she deserve it, does she even like to act?’ That was the most difficult part for me to comprehend, because I do love acting, and I’ve done it my entire life, but people don’t know that.” For now, it looks like Hasan and Rae are bearing the brunt of the internet’s frustration as the two continue to make waves both on and offline… although we can’t be certain there’s any secret, infernal sacrifices going on behind the scenes or not.

Hasan accuses Adin Ross & RiceGum of faking beef to distract from FaZe crypto drama – Dexerto
Hasan accuses Adin Ross & RiceGum of faking beef to distract from FaZe crypto drama Twitch: HasanAbi/RiceGum/Adin RossTwitch stars Adin Ross and RiceGum appear to be falling apart at the seams just a few short months into living together, but Hasan thinks the reason behind their ongoing beef is more sinister than meets the eye. Throughout the end of June and start of July 2021, Adin and Rice have clearly had some kind of problem with one another, going back and forth with Adin sharing it during his livestreams. The beef appears to have started when RiceGum believed Adin to be backing KSI in their strange war with each other, which Adin denied vehemently. Now, the beef seems to be leveling up after RiceGum allegedly turned off Adin’s router while he was streaming, obviously causing the broadcast to shut down. While fans have been picking their sides, the disarray in the LA Clout House has leaked to some of the other big names on Twitch, with plenty of streamers tuning in and sharing their side. One of those is Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker, one of the biggest names on the platform not just for his IRL and gaming content but his political commentary too — and he’s not convinced that any of this is real. Shortly after reading FaZe Clan’s statement that Kay would be leaving the organization, and that Jarvis, Teeqo, and Nikan were suspended over cryptocurrency scam concerns, Hasan had second thoughts on the Adin vs Rice fallout. “Wait, they live in the same house,” Hasan points out. “Why doesn’t he just shut off the stream and beat his a*s? I wonder if they’re doing this to drive the heat off the crypto sh*t?” Surprisingly, this has actually become a common school of thought since the FaZe Clan announcement was made. In Adin’s YouTube comments there have been a number of viewers theorizing the same as Hasan, especially since the drama seems to have come from out of nowhere. Of course, this may be yet another internet conspiracy theory, but it’s definitely got some people thinking.

Has TikTok star Addison Rae left the Hype House? – Dexerto
Has TikTok star Addison Rae left the Hype House? Addison Rae / Hype HouseFans have started to suggest that TikTok star Addison Rae may be next to leave the Hype House following the recent drama surrounding members of the collective. Amid the back and forth between Hype House founders Thomas Petrou and Daisy Keech, which saw Daisy parting with the all-star TikTok squad, many fans have voiced concerns over the future of the group. The Hype House featured some of the platform’s biggest stars such as Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, who were also rumored to separate from their fellow TikTok creators following Charli and Lil Huddy’s breakup in early April. With quite a few creators rumored to leave the Hype House, fans of the popular app have started to look towards Addison Rae who has been silent on a lot of the recent drama. Addison Rae has built a following of over 34.2 million on TikTok for her popular dancing videos and is considered to be one of the faces of this new wave of content creation. In a recent interview with Business Insider, Addison opened up explaining how she rapidly climbed to the top of TikTok and her move out to LA to collaborate alongside some of the platform’s biggest stars. However, when she was asked about her position on the latest Hype House news, the TikTok star refused to comment on any of the ongoing drama surrounding the group. This sparked more rumors that she may be leaving the House, although nothing is certain for now. Many fans have begun to speculate as to why she has remained silent, with some suggesting that the star could be next to leave the TikTok collective. Despite some of the speculation, it appears as if Addison Rae is still a part of the Hype House, however, as she is still being posted to the group’s Instagram page and she has appeared in their latest merch drop photos as well. On the other hand, the D’Amelio sisters are almost never featured in Hype House social media anymore, further confounding the rumors that they have left.

Has TikToker Cynthia Parker left the Not A Content House? – Dexerto
Has TikToker Cynthia Parker left the Not A Content House? Instagram: cynthiaparkerrrrRumors that TikTok star Cynthia Parker has left the Not a Content began to circulate after fans noticed that she had been taken off the house’s Instagram page, with her referencing the rumors on social media. Not a Content House is a relatively new house to the TikTok scene, formed in August of 2020. In the period of time that the group has been active, they’ve seen several different members come and go, and fans seem to catch on quickly to any changes in the ranks. Katie Pego joined Not a Content House at the start of November after her original creator collective Top Talent House was shut down, but only a few weeks later rumors began circulating that she had left the house after they unfollowed her on Instagram. The influencer claimed the reason she left is that ‘her parents wanted her home,’ but fellow member Sabrina Quesada said Katie was “kicked out,” and that “she starts drama with a lot of the girls in the House.” Read More: What happened to Sway House? – Now fans are speculating that Cynthia Parker has followed in Katie’s footsteps, as they’ve noticed some strange activity on the NACH Instagram page. While each member usually has a highlight named after themselves, Cynthia’s one seems to have disappeared from the page. View this post on Instagram The house page also no longer appears to be following her, with Cynthia unfollowing them back. Cynthia even reposted someone’s story which contained TikTokRoom posts about the situation, including the original poster’s caption ‘Free Cynthia Parker.’ Over on TikTok, someone asked fellow NACH member Devyn Winkler, “I don’t wanna be the person to ask but… what happened with y’all and Cynthia?” Devyn responded: “wasn’t the girls, it was management.” While this seems to confirm that it wasn’t drama among the girls that prompted Cynthia to either leave of her own accord or be kicked out, there has yet to be any official announcement about her departure or any comment from Cynthia about what actually went down. Just like many other TikTok content houses, the Not a Content House has been caught up in its fair share of drama, but the details of the truth behind this situation have yet to fully come to light.

Fans began to notice something was amiss on October 22 when his latest video only received 45k views after almost being up for two hours. This is unusual as his content normally gains anywhere from 300-500k in that timeframe. Speculation kicked into overdrive when people began to notice that Kjellberg’s channel no longer shows up when searching “PewDiePie” on YouTube – which is what people claim happens when Google supposedly shadowbans an account. Popular entertainment reporter Def Noodles covered the discovery on Twitter, and posted examples of what happens when you search the personality’s channel on the platform. Dexerto can confirm at the time of writing that his channel does not show up when searching his name – though there’s no confirmation of a shadowban occuring. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1319342075553271808 While it’s unclear whether the popular entertainer actually is shadowbanned, or if Google even does such a thing, it does appear that his latest video is getting substantially less views than it should be. Twitter accounts began to point this out, such as one user who said, “In an hour he usually pulls in close to 500k Views. If this is true then youtube gonna be getting a lot of backlash. He hasn’t even done anything slightly controversial in a long time.” The popular entertainer addressed the issue in a community message on October 22. “Yo, for some reason my videos aren’t showing up in sub box since yesterday so posting here,” he said, with a link to his latest upload. Hours after his fans began reporting the issue, YouTube officially made a statement on Twitter about the situation and explained that it was because of an error, and not a shadowban. They also apologized for “any inconvenience this has caused.” “We are hearing reports that PewDiePie’s channel and some videos are not surfacing within searches. We are currently working on fixing the issue,” they said. YouTube’s Ryan Wyatt also added, “Update on PDP. We’re on it! Thanks to the community for flagging us, we appreciate it!” https://twitter.com/Fwiz/status/1319398949094973440 Around 5:22pm, viewers began to report that PewDiePie’s channel had been restored in the search engine. Def Noodles covered the update on Twitter stating “Pewdiepie shadowban appears to have been fixed by YouTube. Pewdiepie’s channel is now appearing in search results as well as his latest videos. No explanation yet on what caused the glitch.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1319431307886170112 PewDiePie supporters are no doubt breathing a sigh of relief knowing that YouTube hadn’t intentionally flagged the personality’s account, and that it was just a mistake. Hopefully for them, his videos start appearing in their subscription boxes and everyone can soon forget about this unfortunate error.

Has PewDiePie’s Minecraft series ended? YouTuber goes head-to-head with final boss – Dexerto
Has PewDiePie’s Minecraft series ended? YouTuber goes head-to-head with final boss YouTube: PewDiePie / MojangFresh off of hitting his 100 million subscriber milestone, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg celebrated in the most fitting way possible – with more Minecraft, of course. The latest episode sees the Swede take on the Ender Dragon, but is this the end of his series? On August 24, PewDiePie became the first individual YouTuber to hit 100 million subscribers, capping off what has been one of the best years of his life. So what could be a more fitting celebration than another Minecraft episode. In the August 25 video, the YouTube king finally took on the final fight in the original version of the sandbox game as he squared off with the terrifying Ender Dragon, the largest mob boss in the game. “I’m not ready for this fight!” Things started out rough for the Swede after he was accidentally pushed into an end portal by his pet pig ‘PeePee PooPoo’ which sent him unexpectedly to ‘The End’ – the third and final dimension in the game. The YouTuber didn’t have the material to reach the island in the void, but luckily caught a break as he had an ‘Ender Pearl’, which allows you to teleport where the item is thrown. After making it to the island, he was immediately met with sounds of the dragon growling. “Oh god I’ll just stand in the corner. This is just too scary!” Pewds exclaimed before taking a step out and being met with a loud roar “Ah! I’m sorry. Ahh I’m scared! I’m not ready for this fight!” he cried as the monster flew over him. After making an unsuccessful attempt at battling the dragon, the Swede was ready to retreat when he forgot that he had an ‘Ender chest’ on him, which contained health items, his infinite bow, and most importantly, snow for his snowman army. Excited, he returned back to the battle to execute his plan. Unlike his 96 million pig army which backfired in his fight with the Wither, this time his plan worked, and the snowmen began to attack the dragon. “Oh my god it worked. Get ’em, boys!” the YouTuber yelled excitedly as his army continued to pelt the flying mob boss with snowballs. As the fight raged on, the YouTube king tried to attack the dragon with a bed, and the boss sent him flying in the air, before falling to his death. “No! I didn’t know he could do that. Ahh!” he said with disappointment. In a heartbreaking moment, the Swede brought his pig pet with him this time, as he had previously promised they would slay the Ender Dragon together. But while holding him, he fell which sent the animal to his death. Returning with a newfound vengeance, PewDiePie finally whittled the dragon’s health down, using enchanted arrows to finally slay the beast from out of the sky. “Wooo! Yeaaah! Yess!” he screamed in excitement. “Oh my god, we did it! We did it! What a battle!” Is this the end? After collecting his XP, the Swede then jumped into the void, which triggered the ending credits for the game. Genuinely looking emotional, he said “We did it. We did it gamers,” and smiled as the credits rolled. Pewds then returned to his base and met his pets Joergen and Sven, and the dog’s husband and child. “We did it. But we lost a lot of friends along the way,” he said somberly. Putting on a firework show for his pets, he emotionally addressed his audience, thanking them for watching the end of his Minecraft series. “Thank you everyone for watching this series. It’s been an epic, epic journey. With so many memorable moments. So many amazing times. I’ve loved playing this for you guys. Therefore we are going to end it…” Suddenly, he shouted: “Sike! You really thought it was over, huh? There is so many more things left in Minecraft!” he said excitedly, vowing to continue the series for his fans. (Timestamp of 00:10 for mobile viewers.) With the YouTube king promising to continue his Minecraft series, fans will have plenty of journeys to go on with PewDiePie for the foreseeable future.

Has Jeffree Star’s assistant Maddie quit? Fans spark rumors – Dexerto
Has Jeffree Star’s assistant Maddie quit? Fans spark rumors Instagram: Maddie TaylorJeffree Star has certainly attracted a lot of criticism this year. Fans believe that YouTube beauty guru and Jeffree Star Cosmetics CEO has apparently lost his long term assistant, Maddie, who appears to have quit overnight. Jeffree Star has never been one to shy away from controversy, but 2020 has certainly been a year that’s seen the makeup titan’s supposed sins brought into the spotlight. The whole James Charles drama still seems to be haunting the beauty superstar, with a recent video addressing “aggressive mental abuse” in the wake of the whole Shane Dawson and Tati Westbrook scandal. This follows a particularly disappointing series of palette launches that have left buyers out in the cold. Things just seem to be getting worse for the California-based makeup king though, as his longtime assistant and supposed best friend Maddie appears to have quit, shocking fans around the world. Maddie might not be Jeffree’s assistant anymore In the surprising news that broke on December 22, it appears that the long term friendship may have reached a sharp conclusion. Based on a Reddit post from eatmyfvck, it appears that a rift has formed between the two former friends. Jeffree has unfollowed Maddie’s instagram account, prompting her to do the same. Following this, a cryptic Instagram story from Maddie made the situation even more baffling. The image simply says “believe it or not there’s not a single person you need in this life more than yourself, put her first.” Fan theories and reactions The crazy story has grown wings on Reddit, where upset fans are attempting to piece together the jigsaw puzzle. An extensive theory forwarded by eatmyfvck discusses the idea that Jeffree is now an official resident in Wyoming, and therefore “must spend a certain amount of time there” in order to “get that state’s tax benefits.” This may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back, as Maddie’s life would be split between Wyoming and California. Read More: Tana Mongeau vs Bella Thorne feud explained – Further evidence has been garnered from her social media, where one fan has noticed that she has “deleted a lot of pics.” While no one knows for definite what is going on here, no doubt we’ll have all the details soon. In the mean time, sit back and sip your tea folks, 2020 isn’t done yet!

Has PewDiePie finally accepted defeat in subscriber battle vs T-Series? – Dexerto
Has PewDiePie finally accepted defeat in subscriber battle vs T-Series? YouTube giant PewDiePie’s subscriber lead over T-Series continues to slim, and it looks like the Swede has indicated that he has accepted defeat. The back and forth saga between PewDiePie and T-Series for the most subscribed to content creator on YouTube seems to be finally reaching an inevitable – yet delayed – conclusion. Indian music label and film production company T-Series, has uploaded over 13,000 videos to YouTube, and has been a threat to PewDiePie’s top spot since the latter months of 2018. The internet has fought back however, launching incredible campaigns to assist the Swedish superstar, including public parades and using the Superbowl to display support. Mr Beast and friends were seen on TV cameras at the SuperBowl sporting these outfits. According to social media monitoring site Social Blade, PewDiePie (as of 13:00 GMT, March 2) has 87,604,648 subscribers, while T-Series sits at 87,602,063. The count therefore is below 3,000, and is shrinking all the time. Recent tweets stating that PewDiePie’s subscriber lead had fallen below 6,000 subscribers prompted the Swede to reply with, ‘Looks like this is it.’ It has looked unavoidable recently that the Bollywood label would eventually pass PewDiePie, who has sat at the top of the subscriber counts for over five years now. The battle between the two has been ongoing for a while now, and you can follow the live subscriber counts here. It remains to be seen if the internet, as it has admirably done to this point, can conjure up a response to reinforce the Swede’s rapidly shrinking lead. The ability of the corporate giants to upload around five professionally made videos per day seems to have taken its toll on the independent content creator, who usually uploads one per day.

Has Grace Van Dien left FaZe Clan after viral beef with Rain? – Dexerto
Has Grace Van Dien left FaZe Clan after viral beef with Rain? FaZe Clan/Twitch: bluefilleThe controversy surrounding FaZe Clan co-owner Nordan ‘Rain’ Shat and newest signing Grace ‘bluefille’ Van Dien came to a head when he posted a video in which the two came to blows, with Grace threatening to leave if he posted it. But has she actually left FaZe Clan? Even before Stranger Things star Grace was announced as the newest FaZe Clan member, Rain leaked her signing, and it immediately set fans of him and the older FaZe guard on high alert. There was some back and forth between the two, leading to a huge drama that was purveyed by creators all across the internet, as both Rain and Grace made comments regarding one another that viewers found distasteful or downright disgusting. Finally, he posted a video of a confrontation between the two, in which she left his apartment in tears and threatened to leave FaZe if the video was uploaded. Since then, though, there has been no comment either way. Did Grace Van Dien really leave FaZe? The big question many fans have asked is whether the threat was legitimate, and at the time of writing, there is not a clear answer — though there are some implications that have been made. After the video was posted by FaZe Rain, Grace ended up putting her Twitter on private once again and removing any reference to FaZe Clan from her bio. However, her tweets about joining FaZe Clan and responses to FaZe members, as well as videos about FaZe, still exist and are live on her channels, so she hasn’t publicly cut ties with the organization yet. That said, there has been no official statement from either FaZe Clan or Grace herself, so things may well still be up in the air at the time of writing.

Has Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s new MTV show been canceled? – Dexerto
Has Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s new MTV show been canceled? YouTube stars Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau went viral after tying the knot at their live-streamed Vegas wedding in July — and now, the newlyweds are getting their very own MTV show. But is their new project going to last? After teasing fans with a special announcement, the duo officially unveiled their upcoming MTV show “Bustedness” in early December, which appears to take after Rob Dyrdek’s beloved “Ridiculousness.” However, rumors have circulated amongst fans that the show might never see the light of day, considering imPaulsive’s Mike Majlak teased the show back in October. In fact, Drama Alert’s Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem likewise Tweeted out the allegations, claiming that MTV producers couldn’t get along with Mongeau according to an “anonymous source” and stating that the show was canceled three days after their announcement went live. Paul addressed these claims during an upcoming episode of Adam22’s “No Jumper” podcast, from which he uploaded a few teasers to his Instagram story. Anon Source: Jake Paul & Tana’s MTV show was canceled after announcement 3 days ago. MTV exes did not care for Tana according to source. #DramaAlert pic.twitter.com/DDpzkvlqkN — KEEM 🍿 (@KEEMSTAR) December 15, 2019 One of these clips shows Adam asking Jake about the rumors concerning the show, which the Team 10 founder promptly denied. “Where do I start with that conversation?” Paul replied. “Why do people still trust [KEEMSTAR] as a news source? I don’t get it. It’s not true at all.” That’s not all: Paul went on to defend his wife, claiming that the film crew had an excellent experience filming the show’s pilot episode in spite of speculation that Mongeau was too difficult to work with. “In fact, the people on set were like, ‘This is the best pilot we’ve ever filmed in our whole entire lives,’” he continued. “They were just rambling on about how amazing everyone on the show is.” The pair’s “Bustedness” show follows Tana’s own “Tana Turns 21” from earlier this year, which chronicled the YouTuber’s life leading up to her 21st birthday. Considering the success of this previous venture, it makes sense that MTV might pursue another project with Mongeau and Paul — an endeavor that is apparently fraught with peril, as fans await a release date in wake of cancellation rumors and deleted announcement Tweets.

Haruka Karibu joins VShojo as VTuber agency celebrates second anniversary – Dexerto
Haruka Karibu joins VShojo as VTuber agency celebrates second anniversary Twitch: Haruka KaribuLong-time “friend” of VShojo, Haruka Karibu, has finally joined the US-based agency as part of the group’s second anniversary. The Canadian caribou has featured in numerous lore videos for the group, but is now a fully-fledged part of the family. VShojo has been slowly expanding as of 2022. The US-based VTuber agency was once an enigma in the space with their small roster of established English-speaking talents, but they have continued to go from strength to strength as the year goes on. The agency’s second anniversary across late November and early December was expected to be a massive affair, and now the biggest news of all has landed with long-time friend of the group, Haruka Karibu, finally joining their ranks. The Canadian caribou debuted as a VTuber in May 2020, and quickly cemented herself as a fan-favorite in the indie scene with 175,000 followers. She has been on numerous collaborations with VShojo in the past as one of their extended friends, especially with the likes of Zentreya. She debuted for the group on December 3 with her own lore video as the VShojo cinematic universe continues to grow. Haruka also debuted a new model — her first in two years — to commemorate the new beginning. “I went through so many things over my time as a VTuber,” Haruka said. “I lost so much, sacrificed so much. There were so many instances where I stressed about it all, and it became overwhelming to the point where I hated who I was. “But now, what I believe, is that the realization of all of this is what actually makes me smarter. In the beginning I didn’t realize all these things about myself. I didn’t take into consideration a lot of things — I didn’t know how to interact with people I didn’t know, I stuck a bandaid to every problem, and I basically wore a mask. “I’ve learned so much ever since becoming a content creator. It gave me my purpose in life. I took my shot here and I came to love it. Nothing else gives me that feeling. I feel happy that I can make others happy. “There’s still a bunch of stuff I have to learn, and a lot of flaws I have to fix myself. But this is something I really want to do. I want to keep doing this for as long as I can, and make peoples’ day just a bit brighter. I can be really stupid, I can be really careless, but this is what I want to do. I am happy.” More than 25,000 viewers showed up to celebrate. “I am so proud and happy for my best friend to join us in this adventure,” Zentreya tweeted as her debut was streaming. “We met barely 2 years almost, and here she is. I love her so much and she is the sweetest dork I have ever gotten to be friends with.” “Our VShojo family is a bit bigger today and will only get bigger soon,” Ironmouse added. “The horizon is looking really really bright! I hope you guys continue to join us on this journey!” It’s a big moment for VShojo, which continues to grow ever slowly by recruiting top independent talents into their ranks. Now it’s Haruka’s time in the sun, but eyes will drift towards who the agency will bring on next.

Harry Styles shaved his head and fans absolutely hate it – Dexerto
Harry Styles shaved his head and fans absolutely hate it Wikimedia Commons, Raph_PHDuring a U2 concert, Harry Styles was spotted sporting a shaved head, and fans are not too happy about his new look. Harry Styles has connected so deeply with fans — and not only for his music. They’ve gravitated toward his charm, good looks, and his hair (apparently). He’s also somewhat of a fashion icon, often sporting gender-fluid clothing that finds him embracing the current social moment. He has forged a career on being himself and not upholding the roles men are traditionally expected to play. With his fame, there comes pressure to conform to body standards — from having chiseled muscles to even the length of his hair. Harry Styles is now bald, and fans have some big feelings Harry Styles caused a firestorm online after he was seen rocking a shaved head at a recent U2 concert. Fans took to Twitter/X to express their sadness, disdain, and every other emotion over what they see as a sacrifice to his identity. “I will support Harry Styles as a musician, but no more trying to meet him, especially because he’s bald,” said a fan. A second claimed they could no longer breathe. Many others wallowed in their sadness and/or frustrations and shared various clips from TV shows and movies. One fan even imaged a world in which an FBI agent watched their home footage and found them in an emotional frenzy. “If you told me 3+ years ago that harry styles would be bald, I would’ve laughed in your face,” admitted a fan. Currently, there is no clear reason why Harry Styles has shaved his head. It could be a film role, or he just feels like it. Either way, looks like we’re entering a brand new Harry era. Style has yet to react to fans or post online about the video clip.

Harry Styles’ super fan with a genetic condition binges his music before going deaf – Dexerto
Harry Styles’ super fan with a genetic condition binges his music before going deaf CBC NewsNicole Myers, who is a Harry Styles super fan, has plans to binge his music before completely losing her hearing. Harry Styles, who won Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammys and is one of the most listened-to artists today, may have millions of fans, but there’s one that stands out as one of his most dedicated supporters. Nicole Myers, who has a genetic condition that will cause her to go completely deaf, is a Harry Styles fanatic. Though she’ll eventually lose her hearing, Myers opened up with CBC News about her condition and how she has chosen to predominantly listen to the previous One Direction band member before her hearing is gone. Harry Styles fans opens up about fear of losing her hearing Harry Styles, who just ended his two-year Love on Tour run, had a special guest at not one, not two, but four of his concerts. Myers, who avidly listens to Styles and will completely lose her hearing due to having two brain tumors on each cochlear nerve, went to four of his recent concerts, as she is unsure when his next string of shows will be. Myers, having an incurable genetic condition, didn’t want to risk never hearing her favorite British singer on tour, so she traveled all the way to Toronto, California, and London for what could potentially be her last time hearing him perform. Though she’s been busy attending concerts, Myers had time to get candid in her recent interview with CBC News and opened up about how she fears her condition, saying, “It scares me, I don’t want to be deaf. I don’t want to lose my hearing.” She then continued to share her feelings on why Harry Styles is the artist she’s focused on most, saying, “It just gets better each time. And my closest friends I’ve met because of becoming a Harry fan. So, it’s just brought so many important things into my life, and like, memories that I’ll remember forever.” Although Myers is unaware of when her hearing will be completely gone, it’s safe to say that Harry Styles will continue to be a focal point in her life, as she further explained her affinity for the singer, saying, “He’s just brought so much fun into my life, and I love his music.”

She’s best known for her unique look and voice and has collaborated with a huge range of YouTubers over the years. One of the character’s most recognizable outfits is a blue pinstripe shirt with red trousers, and over the years it has become a look that most of her 10 million subscribers associate strongly with the character. However, many fans were surprised on September 8 after popular singer Harry Styles’ stylist posted a picture of a new concert outfit that looked almost exactly like Miranda’s iconic look. He was wearing red trousers, a blue striped shirt, and red suspenders, and people couldn’t help but immediately draw the comparison between the two stars. https://twitter.com/harry__lambert/status/1435439333775970306 “Miranda Sings RAN so Harry could walk,” one fan wrote, uploading several images that showed the striking similarities between the two outfits. “Finally a decent pic of Miranda Sings on stage in Denver tonight,” another said. miranda sings RAN so harry could walk 😩✋ /j @MirandaSings @ColleenB123 #HarryStylesLoveOnTour pic.twitter.com/aauvKUOuWO — ♡ k | 🇪🇸🇷🇸🇸🇪🇦🇺 (@NewHopeClubNZ) September 8, 2021 Of course, Miranda herself had to respond to the comparisons, and her tweet about it got over 57,000 likes. She even went on to upload a video to her YouTube channel reacting to the fact she was trending on Twitter. Although Styles himself has yet to respond to the comparisons to Miranda, it has certainly given the internet a good laugh.

Harry Styles performs live gender reveal for fan during concert – Dexerto
Harry Styles performs live gender reveal for fan during concert TIKTOK: gina.louuiseHarry Styles surprised a fan after he helped the expecting mom reveal her baby’s gender at a concert in Sydney, Australia. In a viral TikTok clip posted by the fan, Gina, the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer stopped mid-performance as he spotted her holding a sign that read “Do my gender reveal?” “Are you sure you want to do this?” the 29-year-old asked while pointing at the Aussie fan. “Would you mind passing me that tiny, tiny envelope?” After he was handed the envelope, Harry asked his band to play some slow “gender music,” before noting that the jazzy tune was “a touch too sexy for a gender reveal.” “The good news is I know something you don’t know. The bad news is you’ll have to wait until the end of the show,” the ‘As It Was’ hitmaker yelled, which was quickly followed by boos from the crowd. “Just joking. Do you want to do it now? It was just a joke!” he laughed. Harry then orchestrated a drumroll from the audience, and announced into the microphone that Gina was having a baby girl. The camera then panned to the pregnant mom who was screaming in excitement. “I CANT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED! Thank you so so much Harry!!!” Gina captioned her four-minute video, which has amassed 3.1 million views as of writing.

This is not the first time a singer has gone viral on TikTok due to a specific moment at a concert. Last week, Chris Brown left viewers divided after chucking fan’s phone for taking selfies during a lap dance.

“Harry Potter” called out by Stanley cup fanatics for cutting line at Target – Dexerto
“Harry Potter” called out by Stanley cup fanatics for cutting line at Target YouTubeEven Harry Potter is trying to get his hands on one of the elusive Stanley Starbucks cups, but didn’t know what he walked into after apparating in front of a Target line. The hit Stanley trend has taken social media by storm, with everyone and their mother fighting over the popular cups, and there is no love lost between the competitive shoppers. A man dubbed “Harry Potter” due to his Daniel Radcliffe-like appearance is the latest individual to spark backlash after cutting the line at Target and getting into it with rival customers. In a new video, a customer filmed a heated confrontation when “Harry Potter” started arguing about the linen, which had formed as early as 3 in the morning. “Harry Potter” and the Starbucks Stanley cup showdown In front of the Target, the boy who lived began a heated war of words with another shopper who demanded he get into the back of the line. “There was no line!” he argued, to which everyone in the back disagreed, screaming about how they’d been waiting. Eventually, a manager showed up to deal with the situation and told “Harry” to get back. Meanwhile, it was revealed the store only had 38 cups that could only be purchased if you had a ticket. It’s not clear if Potter ended up pulling off some wizard trick to secure a cup himself, but magic may be the best way to get a Stanley tumbler if you don’t want to stand in line for hours. As Dexerto reported, Target employees have been caught hiding cups for themselves and on the resale market, Stanley’s are going for over $300.

Harry Styles fans left baffled by incredible TikTok hoax account – Dexerto
Harry Styles fans left baffled by incredible TikTok hoax account YouTube: Harry Styles, TikTokHarry Styles fans were left completely baffled after TikToker George Mason fooled thousands of people with the creation of a hoax account modeled on the One Direction singer. Harry Styles may have forged fame within the boy band One Direction, but the British singer has continued to rise as a solo artist. It’s been speculated for quite some time that Styles has a secret TikTok account as opposed to an official page to promote his music. Now, legions of passionate Harry Styles fans have found themselves confused after YouTuber George Mason masterfully curated a hoax account. YouTuber George Mason creates elaborate Harry Styles TikTok account It isn’t an easy feat to impersonate a celebrity, but YouTuber George Mason was up to the task, after laying the foundations with a fake TikTok account known as @suemonella. Taking inspiration from the nickname ‘Sue’ given to Styles by radio presenter Nick Grimshaw, fans were convinced the account made in February was Styles’ incognito TikTok page. Read More: How to hide comments on TikTok live – After posting a Spotify awards plague that signified 1 billion streams on Styles’ single Watermelon Sugar, it almost seemed like the One Direction singer was gearing up for a grand reveal on what appeared to be his TikTok account. With over 4.5 million views on the “suemonella” hashtag, Mason revealed he had masterminded the account over on his YouTube channel.

Perhaps Harry Style will join TikTok after all.

Harry Potter actor Tom Felton reacts to viral ‘DracoTok’ TikTok trend Instagram: t22felton / TikTok / Warner Bros.[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]Harry Potter star Tom Felton has made a hilarious TikTok mocking fans gushing over his character, Draco Malfoy, in the popular #DracoTok trend. Harry Potter is a franchise that has exceeded far what many could ever expect of a book or film series, and the characters and storylines have stuck with fans for over two decades now, with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or Sorcerer’s Stone, depending on which side of the pond you reside) having been released back in 1997. One of the more popular characters, somewhat surprisingly, is series-long antagonist Draco Malfoy, who at this point fans have ‘shipped’ with just about every character in the series. Much of this can, of course, be lent to Tom Felton, a good-looking man by any standard who portrayed the character perfectly. As a result, Draco still has a number of fans worldwide, hence why “DracoTok” has become a thing: a corner of TikTok dedicated solely to celebrating the villainous teen and gushing over him. Now, though, the man himself has found this corner of the app, and made a reaction TikTok of his own to some of the things he’s seen on there. The video is somewhat of a mini-montage of the various emotions experienced browsing the hashtag: confusion, disgust, happiness, fear and all the rest of it, his sheer acting prowess out on full display. Of course, Felton doesn’t actually dislike the videos at all and has commented on several DracoTok videos before showing support. In a comment on his own video, he simply urged fans to “hide nothing,” saying that he finds it all hilarious. Read More: How to get the anime filter on TikTok – When actors play roles as big as that of Draco Malfoy, or on other big franchises, sometimes it can be hard to shake that character in fans’ eyes. By all accounts, though, it doesn’t look like the Potter star is too upset about it.

Harry Potter’s Bonnie Wright admits playing Ginny was “disappointing” – Dexerto
Harry Potter’s Bonnie Wright admits playing Ginny was “disappointing” Warner Bros.Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright has discussed why playing Ginny Weasley was “a little disappointing” for her. Introduced in the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Ginny is the only daughter of Arthur and Molly Weasley. During her first year at Hogwarts, she started crushing on Harry Potter, and the two eventually got married. While Ginny re-opened the Chamber of Secrets and fought in Dumbledore’s Army, many Harry Potter fans believe she was underrepresented. Some argue that people should have known more about Ginny than just as Harry’s wife and Ron’s sister. Now, Wright has explained why her experience playing Ginny was “a little disappointing” and how she felt anxious during the process. Harry Potter actor wishes Ginny had more significant role Wright appeared on Michael Rosenbaum’s “Inside of You” podcast and reminisced about the Harry Potter series. The actor shared the same sentiment as some who believe Ginny wasn’t in the films enough. “Sometimes that was a little disappointing because there were parts of the character that just didn’t get to come through because there weren’t the scenes to do that,” she said. “That made me feel a bit anxious or just frustrated, I guess.” Wright also worried about how viewers would think she was “badly portraying” Ginny and that it would be her fault. “And when fans do share that disappointment and they do it in a way that are like, ‘We know it wasn’t you. We just wanted more of you.’ And that’s the same of every character. If only they could be five-hour-long movies,” she added. Ginny received more screen time as the film series continued. However, hopefully, the upcoming Harry Potter TV show may include her more often. Information surrounding the series is scarce, but Daniel Radcliffe has already shut down the idea of returning.

Harry Jowsey tells fans to “relax” amid Charly Jordan dating rumors – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey tells fans to “relax” amid Charly Jordan dating rumors Instagram: charlyjordanHarry Jowsey has responded after rumors started to ramp up of a relationship between himself and TikTok star Charly Jordan — telling fans to “relax” with the speculation. The Australian former Netflix star, who appeared on ‘Too Hot to Handle’, has established himself as a consistent force in the Los Angeles influencer world, having beef with TikTok star (and Charly Jordan’s former flame) Tayler Holder, as well as having to address rumors that he was dating Khloe Kardashian. More recently, though, to kick off 2022, Jowsey has once again been embroiled in the fast-moving rumor mill as fans have spotted him and Jordan looking particularly close. In mid-February, speculation really started to ramp up as they were spotted together more frequently by paparazzi. As fans started to discuss whether the two were together or simply very good friends, Jowsey answered a question about his relationship status when doing a Q&A on Instagram. After being asked if he was in a committed relationship, Jowsey simply said that he is single, seemingly putting to bed any notion of a relationship between himself and Jordan. Not long after, though, a popular Instagram page reposted his Story, saying that he has “confirmed that he is single” — but Jowsey actually made a correction in the comments. “Everyone needs to relax,” he said. “We haven’t put a label on it yet.” This obviously did nothing to dispel the rumors and, if anything, left fans even more confused than they were before. So while there isn’t officially a label on the Harry Jowsey and Charly Jordan partnership, it’s safe to assume that they’re not exactly single.

Harry Jowsey wants to be in Keeping Up With The Kardashians – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey wants to be in Keeping Up With The Kardashians Instagram: harryjowsey / NBCUniversal Syndication StudiosReality TV star and social media celeb Harry Jowsey revealed his “dream” television show he’d like to be in — but he’s not sure he’d be able to ‘keep up’ with the Kardashians. Harry Jowsey is living in two worlds. In one, he’s an influencer with millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram, and in another, he’s one of reality TV’s most popular contestants. Best known for his appearance in ‘Too Hot to Handle,’ Jowsey more recently competed in Netflix’s game show ‘The Floor is Lava,’ and says he wants to pursue fully scripted television shows in the near future. However, he still has a strong foothold in the reality TV space, and claims he wants to star in one of the category’s biggest programs ever — ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’ We sat down with Harry to discuss his future career aspirations and asked him about what his “dream” TV show would be — the ultimate series he’d like to be cast in. “Probably the Kardashians, for sure,” he answered with a laugh. “Just because it’d be funny. They would probably all rip me apart and rip me to shreds. For unscripted [TV], I feel like that show would be a lot of fun. There was a game show I really wanted to do, as well. There was a bunch I was looking at.” As we mentioned, Harry is looking to get into scripted TV shows soon — series that follow a plot, such as Riverdale, Mad Men, etc. Jowsey says he’d love to be involved with Outer Banks, as he already knows some of the cast. “I think for the scripted side, Outer Banks – I think that show would be so much fun,” he continued. “I’ve met Rudy and a few of the other guys from the cast and they’re just really amazing people. That would be one of the shows I would dream to get on.” This news comes on the heels of Jowsey’s investment into VersusGame, where he gave some big financial advice to his fellow influencers in our exclusive interview.

Harry Jowsey wants to fight Tony Lopez to defend Chase Hudson & Thomas Petrou – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey wants to fight Tony Lopez to defend Chase Hudson & Thomas Petrou Instagram, @HarryJowsey / Instagram, @lopez_tonyNetflix star Harry Jowsey hopes to take his beef with TikTok’s Tony Lopez to a violent new level due to frustration over the lawsuit against Lopez naming Jowsey’s friends Chase Hudson and Thomas Petrou. Over the past few days, Jowsey and Lopez have exchanged barbs stemming from the former poking fun at the latter’s current legal dispute. That beef seems to have heated up, as Jowsey is now taking any opportunity he can get to push for a fight against Lopez. After being accused of untoward behavior with underage women in August 2020, Lopez was hit with a lawsuit in January 2021 by two girls for soliciting them as minors, or, more specifically, “sexual battery and emotional distress.” Also named in the lawsuit, albeit for different reasons, are Hudson and Petrou — both friends of Jowsey. After making fun of Lopez with a “Prisoner Pen-Pal” TikTok, the former star of Netflix’s has explained that friendship pushes him to seek a fight with the accused. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpDzMFHjYU/ Without directly responding to Jowsey’s video, Lopez put out a cryptic “Lies, Lies, Lies” TikTok on the same day. This marked his first response to the allegations against him since the very beginning of the entire situation. Apparently dissatisfied with Lopez’s assurance that all claims made against him are falsehoods, Jowsey has upped the ante and clarified his rationale to ever-eager paparazzi. In a video alongside his new girlfriend, Tana Mongeau, the 22-year-old let it be known that he is itching for a chance to fight. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1355571239297765379 After noting that he initially wanted to support Lopez and send him good energy before finding out just how unsavory the allegations were, Jowsey proceeds to paint the context for his current anger. “Now, the fact that Lil Huddy and Thomas are getting dragged into this mess that he created and they’re my boys. That’s where my loyalty is … I was like ‘f**k, now this is pissing me off.’” Echoing a morning video he posted about hoping to “get in the ring” with the 21-year-old Lopez, Jowsey cemented his intentions in more colorful terms: “If there’s a good opportunity, I would love to just f**king embarrass this kid and put him in the ground.”

Harry Jowsey & Tayler Holder beef on Twitter after possible boxing match announced – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey & Tayler Holder beef on Twitter after possible boxing match announced YouTube: Harry Jowsey, Tayler HolderReality TV star Harry Jowsey and TikToker Tayler Holder are exchanging fighting words on Twitter after a promotional poster pitting the two celebs together was published online. After the disastrous fallout of the YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing event in June, it looks like one TikToker is already itching to get back in the ring… and his opponent could make for a seriously interesting matchup. Former Hype House member and TikToker Tayler Holder is trading verbal blows with Heartbreak Island star Harry Jowsey, who also happens to boast a popping social media profile. Holder notably lost to AnEsonGib during the Battle of the Platforms in June, and is currently suing Austin McBroom for $2 million due to not getting paid for the gig. However, it doesn’t look like his lost wages are putting a damper on his fighting spirit. .@AnEsonGib and @TaylerHolder battle it out to a draw 💥 Order PPV Livestream now: https://t.co/v8vhimCs9I#SocialGloves @HardRockStadium pic.twitter.com/UAnJmN3mq2 — LiveOne (@liveone) June 13, 2021 On August 24, Jowsey tweeted out a promo poster for a potential fight between himself and Tayler with the caption: “Y’all ready for me to sleep this punk?” The poster shows that the bout is being put on by Triller, but nothing in their upcoming lineup points toward a future match between the two stars just yet. The bigger they are the harder they fall 👀 https://t.co/6uHLZGIyGC — Tayler Holder (@TaylerHolder) August 24, 2021 That being said, it isn’t stopping them from hyping up their proposed bout with some major “trash talk,” with both parties filling up our Twitter feeds with a hilarious back-and-forth that has fans equal parts surprised and excited. Says the one that has a matching tattoo with his ex. And tried to get it removed but didn’t follow through with it cause he’s still in love with her #frarry https://t.co/4RGQHSuJmR pic.twitter.com/FEIK8T0HVQ — Tayler Holder (@TaylerHolder) August 24, 2021 Holder clowned the fact that Jowsey still boasts his matching tattoo he got with his ex-girlfriend, while Jowsey couldn’t help but roast a young Tayler Holder’s fashion sense. This kid looks like he stinks @TaylerHolder pic.twitter.com/VRrZAuWCzF — Harry Jowsey (@HarryJowsey) August 24, 2021 “And also f**k you @HarryJowsey you don’t even follow me. Wow books a show on Netflix and doesn’t know how to act anymore. SMH” And also fuck you @HarryJowsey you don’t even follow me. Wow books a show on Netflix and doesn’t know how to act anymore. SMH — Tayler Holder (@TaylerHolder) August 24, 2021 It’s highly likely that these two are just hamming it up on Twitter for s**ts and giggles, considering their history as close friends. It’s no secret that the influencer boxing trend is on fire right now, though, and it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise if these two end up facing off in the ring sometime soon. They also published a fairly lighthearted video together to Instagram, claiming that they are currently “up to something” — but whether that “something” is a boxing match or not remains to be seen. For now, all fans can do is watch, wait, and enjoy the ongoing beef between these influencers until their bout is confirmed or denied.

Harry Jowsey slams criticism of TikTok actors like Addison Rae & Charli D’Amelio – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey slams criticism of TikTok actors like Addison Rae & Charli D’Amelio Instagram: addisonraee, charlidamelio / YouTube: MTVInfluencer and reality TV star Harry Jowsey isn’t a fan of folks who criticize TikTokers for getting into acting, calling the outrage “silly” and praising social media stars for branching out. Harry Jowsey is an Australian social media celebrity with millions of followers across platforms like Instagram and TikTok. However, he’s also earned his star status from appearances on reality TV shows like ‘Too Hot to Handle’ and ‘The Floor is Lava,’ and is looking to get into scripted programs next. In fact, Jowsey is already taking acting lessons and has cozied up to actors in shows like Outer Banks, which he says would be one of his “dream” series to be a part of — but not everyone is comfortable with influencers breaking into mainstream media. When Addison Rae — a TikTok star with over 88 million followers — scored her acting debut in Netflix’s ‘He’s All That,’ she was instantly met with a tidal wave of criticism from netizens who felt that she hadn’t worked hard enough to “deserve” the role. We spoke with Harry Jowsey about his thoughts on the subject… and he’s not here for the backlash at all. “I think everyone deserves to do whatever the f**k they want, to be honest,” he said. “I think people who are sour or bitter because one person didn’t do it the traditional way is someone that’s not gonna go very far. If you’re putting your time and energy into focusing on someone’s abundance and their happiness, then your own abundance and happiness is going to diminish and you’ll be continually watching how other people move.” Jowsey went on to praise TikTokers like Addison, as well as Griffin Johnson, Bryce Hall, and Charli D’Amelio — all of whom have stepped into the movie biz recently. “I think the fact that Addison, Charli, Bryce, Griffin Johnson, all of these amazing people have been able to transition into something more than just TikTok is inspiring,” he added. “It’s the way that internet culture is moving. You see a lot of people from Vine, they kind of just disappeared and diminished off.” “The fact that all of these people have decided to put their time and energy into taking their career to the next level, and also putting respect and doing their absolute hardest to get to the next stage in their career… It’s exciting. I think it’s inspiring. All these people can transition and continue to move the needle and move forward.” Jowsey further elaborated on his stance about the criticism toward TikTok actors and opened up about his own acting endeavors, reminding critics that they “don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.” “For people who talk down on hard work and how much time, energy and effort these people put into it, it’s just silly,” he continued. “You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. For me, personally, I’ve been taking acting classes for the last six months. A handful of times a week and dialect coaches, meeting with directors and getting the feel for it before I do anything that is on screen. I’m not doing it for a paycheck. I’m trying to do it because I enjoy it and I enjoy the process. I enjoy learning about it and it’s a fun experience.” “I understand that maybe people who come out of high school and go straight into film school and put their time and energy into that and they see these TikTokers coming in, I understand they’re upset. I also get the fact that everyone is working as hard as they can. You should never be worried about someone’s abundance. You should be worried about your own and make your own abundance grow.”

Harry Jowsey responds to Khloe Kardashian dating rumors after theories go viral – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey responds to Khloe Kardashian dating rumors after theories go viral Instagram: harryjowsey / khloekardashianToo Hot To Handle star Harry Jowsey has responded to claims that he’s dating Khloe Kardashian after rumors that the stars had been DMing each other went viral. In early February, rumors about Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey and Khloe Kardashian being romantically involved started circulating, after a blind item on Instagram page deuxmoi claimed that the two stars were DMing back and forth. They claimed that they received the information from a close friend who works at a well-known PR agency in LA, and also alleged that Harry “picked up a Bentley and flowers just to deliver them to her house.” However, soon after these rumors went viral online, Khloe was quick to shut them down, commenting that the rumors are “absolutely not true.” Click here if post doesn’t load View this post on Instagram Now Harry, who has four million followers on Instagram, has addressed the rumors in an interview with TMZ. He straight away denied the rumors of a relationship between him and Khloe, and said that he actually picked up the flowers for his “queens at Netflix,” referring to their ongoing back and forth via their Instagram bios. Despite the fact that the rumors aren’t true, Harry did say that he would be interested in taking her out, saying: “I would actually love to take her on a date, though. I would love to. I feel like I’d be so much fun for her, but I don’t know what her situation is. But fingers crossed, one day…” He did go on to reveal that he DMed her in the past, but he eventually unsent the message because he was “embarrassed.” Although the two aren’t dating, it seems like Harry is open to even a small chance of something happening in the future — but whether it actually does remains to be seen.

Harry Jowsey revealed flirty message he sent to Ariana Grande on Insta – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey revealed flirty message he sent to Ariana Grande on Insta Zach Sang ShowHarry Jowsey of ‘Too Hot To Handle’ and ‘Who Wore It Best’ fame was outed on the Zach Sang Show for sending Ariana Grande a playful DM at 7AM. Harry Jowsey, who recently opened up on the Call Her Daddy podcast about taking his relationships more seriously after his split with Too Hot To Handle’s Georgia Hassarati, may have some explaining to do after his recent DM. Though Jowsey left Season 1 of Too Hot To Handle in an exclusive relationship with Francesca Farago, he’s been known to have flirtatious fun from time to time, as he can be linked to multiple influencers like Tana Mongeau, and most recently, Dixie D’amelio. Though he’s been able to pull some serious names in the influencer world, some fans think Jowsey might be reaching out of his league with his most recently sent DM. Jowsey admitted he’s “unsent” plenty of DMs Jowsey, who has exemplified his striking personality as a host for ‘Who Wore It Best,’ has been able to catapult himself from a reality star into a well-known name across the board, as he’s interviewed A-listers like Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. He’s also dated some of the most beautiful influencers and reality stars to date, and it looks like he’s not done there. At 7AM a couple of mornings ago, Jowsey reportedly sent singer Ariana Grande a DM, saying, “Hello, little sunflower.” Jowsey, who was outed for his playful DM on the Zach Sang Show, laughed off having sent the message, which hasn’t gotten a response yet, saying, “Life’s too short.” Continuing, “That would make me happy to receive a DM like that.” Zach Sang, being friends with Grande, laughed about Jowsey shooting his shot and pointed to the fact that she just might see the message after the interview aired. Though Jowsey is fairly confident, he continued to giggle with Sang and admitted that he’s “unsent” plenty of messages in his life, but is unsure if he’ll do the same with his courting of Grande.

Harry Jowsey has some advice for TikTokers after VersusGame investment – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey has some advice for TikTokers after VersusGame investment Instagram: Harry Jowsey‘Too Hot to Handle’ star Harry Jowsey is giving influencers big advice on how to stay financially solid amid his recent investment in popular app VersusGame. Harry Jowsey is equal parts internet superstar and reality TV heartthrob. Boasting over 4 million Instagram followers and over 4.8 million TikTok fans, it’s safe to say that Jowsey is a bonafide celebrity on both fronts. In between stepping on set and uploading his latest podcast episode, Jowsey is also juggling a multitude of other responsibilities… including making smart investments. Most recently, he backed VersusGame, an online platform where participants can earn money by weighing in on yes or no questions like, “Will the Rock and Kevin Hart make a Hollywood blockbuster film this year?” We got the chance to sit down with Harry to discuss his recent money moves, as well as his financial and life advice for other online stars. “It’s a really interesting game, to be honest,” Jowsey said of VersusGame. “It’s so easy. You just go up against random people all over the world. There was one day where I was probably playing 7-10 games a day. It’s honestly nuts. …it’s really exciting.” Although the platform is taking off in popularity, Harry says that he ended up backing the project because he genuinely enjoys it — and so does his entire team. “I kinda just thought, if I like something this much, I might as well support it,” he explained. “I’m already playing a lot of it, I’m already telling my friends about it. I had a bunch of my friends sign up to play my games. It helps your real-world knowledge, as well. It’s kind of like a fun way to play trivia while making real money.” “I think it’s got plenty of legs to move, so who knows what direction it could take? There’s some really exciting people that have invested in it that support it. I think it has all the potential to be huge. There’s people all over the world who’ve invested in this company. I hope it does well. I have a feeling it’s gonna be huge.” Harry also shared some advice for other influencers looking to invest, arguing that social media stars should put their bucks into projects they’re passionate about. “I think that influencers need to invest in things they’re excited about and things they’re passionate about,” he added. “I’ll only throw money at things that have passionate people behind it and people that are excited about their products.” “For other influencers or people who just want to try starting to invest in things, just find things you enjoy and that you like. I hate investing in things that I throw money at just to get a return on. I want to throw money at something I’m excited about and that I’m interested in, because I can provide a little bit more than just money, I can give some sort of direction or help micromanage some of the process.” Jowsey’s latest investment into VersusGame follows his signing to WME earlier this month. For Harry, keeping a close circle of folks around him is paramount to his success — and he encourages other stars to do the same. “You look at any big person or any big company, and they have an amazing team of people around them supporting them and helping their mission,” he explained. “I have a lot of friends who are influencers who don’t even have a manager or have people in the space, because everyone’s so afraid of getting used or hurt or whatnot. For me, it just seemed like the next best step was to go with a winning team. They knew so much about me. They just got me excited to work with them. They had a very good vision. I felt amazing energy and love from them, right away.” “It honestly depends on the direction you wanna go. My next goal is to become an actor and to transition into the scripted side of TV and try something new. For me, it made sense for me to jump in and get with an agency. For some other people, maybe they’re just happy making TikToks and whatever else. It really depends. But I think that any investment in yourself is a smart investment.”

Harry Jowsey addresses Nikita Dragun hookup rumors after music video drama – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey addresses Nikita Dragun hookup rumors after music video drama Instagram: nikitadragun / harryjowseyInfluencer Harry Jowsey has addressed rumors he hooked up with YouTuber Nikita Dragun, after an image of him appeared in her new music video ‘D*ck,’ which caused a big stir online. Nikita Dragun is a beauty influencer with over 3 million YouTube subscribers to her name. She’s also very active on Instagram, where she released the music video for her song simply titled ‘D*ck’ on September 15. In the video, she shows various screenshots of fairly high-profile stars who had DMed her including rapper Tyga, along with pictures of her with various different men. The video divided viewers, with some accusing the influencer of trying to “expose” the people that had messaged her privately. Nikita went on to deny claims that she “hooked up with every guy in the video.” One individual to appear in the video was Harry Jowsey, an Australian influencer who previously took part in the reality dating show ‘Too Hot to Handle.’ This led to many fans wondering whether the star had been with Nikita at any point. He addressed the rumors on the BFFs podcast on September 22. “The first thing that I was concerned about when she posted that was first off, her safety,” Harry said. “Like, there’s a lot of big names in that and I’m sure that there’s people that she’s hooked up with that wouldn’t want that type of stuff to be out there.” He went on to say: “I’m hugely attracted to people’s energy, it doesn’t really matter who they are. So with Nikita like, if you guys know her, you meet her, especially offline, she’s very powerful, she’s very driven, she’s very attractive, and very successful in many senses. So, I don’t know like, I’ve always been attracted to her.” Topic starts at 0:39 He didn’t go into many details, however, he did explain that he’s waiting to see whether Nikita’s okay with talking about it, saying: “Once she’s ready to talk about it, I’m more than happy to talk about it.” Although the drama surrounding the video has simmered down somewhat now, many fans are wondering whether Nikita will divulge a full explanation of the video.

Harry Jowsey admits to using weight-loss drug ahead of canceled boxing fights – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey admits to using weight-loss drug ahead of canceled boxing fights Instagram: boyfriendmaterialReality TV star and podcaster, Harry Jowsey, admitted to using Ozempic to prepare for boxing matches he never fought in, adding that the hype about the weight-loss drug wasn’t worth its residual effects. Harry Jowsey, 27, admitted on his podcast ‘Boyfriend Material’ that he’s used the engrossingly popular weight-loss drug, Ozempic. “I want to talk about Ozempic… because your boy tried it. Please don’t cancel me, I’m being honest,” he told his listeners. “ “I did it a couple of years ago before it was a trend… because in this scene, a lot of these influencers wanna box each other. And I realized I’m way too heavy to fight any influencers.” He mentioned that nobody would have wanted to fight him at his heaviest when he was 230 lbs. By taking the weight loss drug, he hoped to get down to 190 lbs. Harry said that once he reached 200 lbs, he looked like he was “smoking cr*ck,” adding that he was extremely tired while taking it. “The worst thing about it was whenever I would have a drink, the next day I would be violently hungover. It would be like the world was ending.” “I think it’s all horsesh*t,” he said. The podcaster went on to urge his listeners to make “healthy habits” as opposed to using Ozempic. Especially since he gained all of his weight back after going off the weight-loss drug. However, once he began going to the gym and eating healthier regularly, he was more satisfied. Though Harry began using Ozempic to prepare for influencer boxing matches like his canceled fight against TikToker Tayler Holder and the 2021 YouTube x TikTok bout that he never participated in, he ended up finding fame in reality TV. He’s even found love multiple times on reality game shows like Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle and Perfect Match.

Harry Jowsey has fans guessing which A-list celebrity he admitted to sleeping with – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey has fans guessing which A-list celebrity he admitted to sleeping with Instagram: teatotalkHarry Jowsey wasn’t ‘Too Hot to Handle’ for one A-list celebrity that he’s admitted to sleeping with, leaving fans to guess who the woman may be. Harry Jowsey’s claim to fame was his role on Season 1 of ‘Too Hot to Handle.’ He formed a relationship with contender Francesca Farago, but the two later broke up after the show. After breaking things off with Farago, Jowsey began dating ‘THTH’ contestant Georgia Hassarati. The two dated after Hassarati’s time on Season 2. However, they too, broke up in November of 2022. Being a single lad for about a year, Jowsey has sparked relationship rumors with various influencers, but his latest rendezvous with an A-list celebrity has fans wondering who he’s talking about. Harry Jowsey reveals that his hotel hookup was with an older A-list celebrity Harry Jowsey was on a recent podcast with ‘Kyle & Jackie O’ where he revealed that he hooked up with an A-list celebrity. He began talking about his night with the woman saying, “I don’t want to say because she will probably call me and get very angry.” This came after he smashed the rumor of it being Miley Cyrus who he had slept with. With a little laughter, Jowsey continued to reveal as many details as he could, saying that the woman was “in movies.” As ‘Kyle & Jackie O’ asked Jowsey, “How did you connect with this girl?” Jowsey blushingly answered, “She maybe split it off with her long-term boyfriend or fiancée. I don’t know which one it was.” Jowsey continued, “But, like, she messaged me. And she thought I was a TikToker.” Jowsey then poked fun at himself with the lady of the night, asking her “You’re really going to sleep with a TikToker? Jowsey then explained that the mystery woman messaged him again, leading to him meeting her at a hotel. The woman then allegedly told him that she “only wanted one thing” and that “it wasn’t going to go anywhere.” Jowsey also detailed that the woman was “older” and that the happenstance was years ago. Though it may not have been recent, Jowsey’s fans are still left to wonder who the lady is, taking to social media to share their thoughts. Many people have guessed that it’s Vanessa Hudgens. However, others have said that Hudgens is too good for Jowsey, with one fan saying, “Even if Vanessa was single, there’s no way she’d sleep with Harry.” Another fan thought it could be Megan Fox, saying, “When he said she split it off with a longtime boyfriend or fiancé, it made me think of Megan Fox — but there’s no way, right?” One fan even proposed that it was Pamela Anderson, saying, “It’s Pamela Anderson, I guarantee you. Tana Mongeau said that she was sliding in his DMs.” Other guesses included Olivia Wilde, Ariana Grande, or Emily Ratajkowski. Though Jowsey didn’t give much information, it’s clear that he’s still on the market enjoying his single life after being tied down for a couple of years with various girlfriends.

Harley doubles down on Dr Disrespect boxing challenge: “I’ll fight him for free” – Dexerto
Harley doubles down on Dr Disrespect boxing challenge: “I’ll fight him for free” Instagram: drdisrespect / YouTube: Harley MorensteinEpic Meal Time’s Harley is still hoping to take on Dr Disrespect in the boxing ring, saying he’s willing to throw down with the Two-Time for free after his initial callout at Creator Clash this summer. Creator Clash shook up the world of influencer boxing in a huge way this past summer, pitting 18 personalities against each other to raise over $1.3 million for charity in one of the most buzzed-about fight nights of the year. There were quite a few bouts that turned heads on this card, but one moment that stood out from the rest happened when Harley Morenstein of ‘Epic Meal Time’ fame called out one of the biggest streamers on the internet — Dr Disrespect. After defeating the Game Grumps’ Arin Hanson, Harley challenged the Doc outright, saying he’d “only used about 20% of my ability” and “would like to exercise the remaining 80%” against the Two-Time. “I want to fight someone bigger, I want them to know it’s going down. The Doc – I’m talking to YOU! I’m six foot six. You think you’re tall, you think you’re the Two-Time? This isn’t a game, boy. Let me tell you something – that bulletproof vest you wear isn’t gonna stop these guns!” Months later, Harley is doubling down on his offer… and even says he’ll take on Dr Disrespect for free. “I’ll box again for 250k,” Harley wrote in a tweet on August 31. “But if it’s The Doc… I’ll do it for free.” Will Dr Disrespect ever box Harley? It’s unclear if the Doc will ever rise to the challenge. He reacted to Harley’s comments during a live stream back in May, but didn’t seem too interested in setting foot in the ring at the time. “How many times do we have to talk about this? It’s the same thing when you guys say, ‘Timmy is calling you out, you should box Timmy in the ring,’” he said in response to fans’ questions on the subject. “Do we not understand the difference in athletic ability – in terms of footwork, hand-eye coordination, and speed?” Although the Doc’s comments were a bit of a non-answer, it’s clear that Harley isn’t backing down from the idea… and neither are fans. With iDubbbz confirming a Creator Clash 2 in the works for 2023, there’s a chance we could see Harley reprise his role in the ring — and viewers would love to see the Two-Time make his boxing debut.

Harry Jowsey accuses Julia Rose of cheating with Jake Paul – Dexerto
Harry Jowsey accuses Julia Rose of cheating with Jake Paul Instagram: Harry Jowsey/ Instagram: Jake PaulNetflix’s Harry Jowsey has exposed his ex-girlfriend Julia Rose for cheating on him with Jake Paul and admitted he wants to fight him. Harry Jowsey is known for appearing on the Netflix show Too Hot to Handle and has since made a name for himself in the LA influencer scene, often seen hanging out with TikTokers from the Hype House and Sway House, and appearing on podcasts such as Impaulsive. In the last few weeks, Harry was seen getting very close to Julia Rose, the ex-girlfriend of YouTuber Jake Paul. Julia is also a model, reality tv star, and is known as the World Series flasher after attending the 2019 World Series Game 5 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., and flashed to the camera. She began dating Jake Paul officially in March, but the relationship was rocky from start to finish with a brief split just two weeks after confirming their status as a couple, and then a steamy reunion revealed in an explicit Instagram post. It was assumed that the pair had broken up after no more posts together since May. She has since started dating Harry, but earlier this week she suddenly appeared on Jake Paul’s Instagram story. In an interview with The Hollywood Fix, Harry revealed that Julia had been unfaithful to him. “Sh*t is crazy. That’s how I found out she is cheating on me. If she had to use me to get back with someone that she is happy around then that’s fine.” He also revealed that Julia had even been talking about getting married. “She was saying she loved me and sh*t… she was trying to get married… it sucks that she had to use me in the process to get back with him.” Harry said that he wouldn’t turn down a fight with the YouTuber, adding “I’ll box the f*** out of him.” Jake Paul had some choice words for Harry after he was confronted about the situation by reporters from No Comment. He said, “I think he’s a little delusional….they weren’t dating, he thought that they were dating.” He didn’t appear to feel threatened, confidently sending the message to Harry to “Just keep clout-chasing, buddy. That’s all you got going for you.”

Hardcore Minecraft streamer loses his mind after impossible escape – Dexerto
Hardcore Minecraft streamer loses his mind after impossible escape Having come so close to seeing the end of his high-leveled Hardcore character in Minecraft, this Twitch streamer freaked out after pulling off a miraculous save. Hardcore Minecraft is no joke. Dedicating dozens of hours to a world only to see your character erased in a matter of moments can be truly heartbreaking. Hence why this Minecraft streamer had a wild reaction after coming just seconds away from death in a recent lava-filled incident. In an October 28 broadcast, Twitch streamer ‘Vangoro’ backed out to the main menu after his character got wedged between a rock and a hard place, quite literally. Doing so allowed him to plan his next steps along with the assistance of those in his chat. This crucial window of decision-making came to an end as a viewer jokingly suggested that he “just send it.” Loading back into the save, the streamer immediately started mining the obsidian block overhead. The most difficult substance to breakthrough in the game outside of bedrock, he had to utilize an enchanted diamond pickaxe to stand a chance. Breaking the block as lava continued to pour through, he dropped as low as one and a half hearts before healing with a clutch golden apple. Throwing an Ender Pearl directly up into the darkness, the streamer miraculously teleported himself out of the fire before his save was permanently erased. Read more: Top 10 PewDiePie Minecraft moments – “Let’s f*cking go” he repeated after taking his headset off and jumping around the room in victory. Without a doubt one of the closest shaves in the history of Hardcore Minecraft, Vangoro came within seconds of losing dozens of hours of progress. Fortunately, Twitch chat was the only thing exploding after the remarkably clutch moment.

Why did Haris leave Love Island 2023? Dumping explained – Dexerto
Why did Haris leave Love Island 2023? Dumping explained ITV / Haris Namani, InstagramWinter Love Island 2023 star Haris Namani was eliminated from the show after a video emerged of the boxer fighting in the street – but why did he leave? Namani was among the first set of islanders to enter the villa near Cape Town, South Africa, this year – and had not yet started a serious relationship with anyone on the show. The 21-year-old was partnered up in a couple with Olivia Hawkins at the time of the video being posted, and despite going on a date with Aussie entry Aaron Waters, she was still very much interested in pursuing things with Haris. Namani’s future was left up in the air after that, too, following the release of a fighting video. Why did Haris leave Love Island 2023? Haris Namani was reportedly going to get kicked out of the Love Island villa after reports emerged on January 24 that a violent video had emerged, showing him fighting on the streets. However, he was removed in a dumping on January 25. Australian entrants Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters voted for Haris and Anna-May Robey to go. As described by several national newspapers in the United Kingdom, Namani was pictured in a “boozy” fight video, showing him punching somebody on a night out. The Mail Online reached out to a spokesperson of the show, who said: “We would never comment on dumpings or show formats to avoid ruining the show for the viewers.” His exit from the Love Island 2023 cast looked to be on the cards before the dumping, but that was ultimately the method of his exit. Haris Namani street fight video The video was posted on various social media channels, including TikTok and Twitter, after the story first broke. It showed the boxer square up to another man in the street, punching them in the head at first, then the chest, before they fall to the ground. Before the tape ends, Haris can be seen screaming at the guy on the floor. Since it was made public, various outlets stated that they expect Haris to be ejected from the show, including Sky News, The Mirror, and Mail Online. Soon after, he was no longer on the cast after losing his place in a dumping. If you want to keep up with the action as it unfolds, find out when the newest episode will be airing.

The rivalry between Hans Niemann and Magnus Carlson will evolve again. The two chess champions will face off in a rematch for the first time in years following the now-infamous cheating scandal that occurred during the Sinquefield Cup on September 4, 2022. The scandal began when Niemann withdrew from the Sinquefield Cup in 2022 and accused the young Carlsen of cheating, despite a report from the FIDE, the world governing body for chess, stating that there was no evidence to support the allegations against Niemann at the event. Just days after this scandal, the two faced off again in a Champions Chess Tour match, where Carlsen resigned after just three moves. The situation was exacerbated further after Carlsen was claimed to have accused photographer Lennart Ootes of helping Hans Niemann allegedly cheat in their infamous Sinquefield Cup encounter. While Carlsen later spoke out to debunk this accusation, this only further fueled the flames of the feud. Two years later, they two will finally face off again as part of the Speed Chess Finals, their epic showdown the first time they have faced each other in a match since 2022. As such, here is everything you need to know about how and when to watch their next showdown.

Hans Niemann walks out of interview after chess match with extra anti-cheat security – Dexerto
Hans Niemann walks out of interview after chess match with extra anti-cheat security Twitch/STLChessClubChess star Hans Niemann is still disputing claims that he cheated against Magnus Carlsen, but refused to discuss the situation in a recent interview. The chess world has been rocked by a series of allegations against 19-year-old prodigy Hans Niemann after he was able to defeat Magnus Carlsen with the black pieces – an incredibly difficult feat at the highest levels. Niemann was accused of cheating in the tournament, leading to much speculation from the community about how that was possible with some suggesting that electronic anal beads were being used to transmit messages. While there hasn’t been any proof he cheated, a massive report found that he ‘likely’ cheated in over 100 matches. Despite all this drama facing him, Niemann has remained defiant that he is cheating. Niemann responds to cheating allegations and walks out Niemann completed his first match of the 2022 US Chess Championship on Wednesday – an event that had loads of extra security measures. Before he could even get in, he was scanned before entering. Plus, as Kotaku reports, the St. Louis Chess Club added radio frequency scanners to capture any sort of signaling from players. Regardless of all this, the young chess star was able to defeat Christopher Yoo, once again with the black pieces, but didn’t have much to say when he was interviewed after. Once he was asked about the pressure he was under and to explain more about his situation, Niemann said the game was about sending a message. “This entire thing started with me saying chess speaks for itself and I think this game spoke for itself in showing the chess player that I am. It also showed I’m not going to back down and I’m going to play my best chess here regardless of the pressure that I’m under,” he responded. “Chess speaks for itself and that’s all I can say,” he added, but as the interviewer tried to change the topic to the match itself, Niemann ended the interview. “You can leave it up to interpretation, but thank you. That’s it. It’s such a beautiful game I don’t need to describe it.” Certainly, such a response could end up raising more questions than answers, but we’ll have to see how it plays out as this drama continues in a stalemate.

Hans Niemann under strict anti-cheating measures after win streak at Turkish chess event – Dexerto
Hans Niemann under strict anti-cheating measures after win streak at Turkish chess event Instagram: Hans NiemannHans Niemann is having a great run at the Turkish League 2024 event. However, the event’s organizers have implemented stricter anti-cheating measures specifically for the players mid-tournament. Niemann has been a controversial figure in the chess world following his 2022 cheating allegations from the top player in the world at the time, Magnus Carleson. The American player has continued to stay in the spotlight in one way or another, through online spats with other players, Elon Musk, and from continuing to rise through the international chess rankings by stomping his opponents. The newest controversy involving Niemann concerns his participation in the Türkiye İş Bankası 100th Anniversary Super League. So far, the American has 9.5/13 points at the team event, winning seven games, losing one, and drawing five. After defeating Chinese Grandmaster Yu Yangyi on July 21, the tournament organizer, the Turkish Chess Federation, implemented anti-cheating measures for Niemann’s future matches, according to a commentator on the broadcast. The part of the stream quoted is about 2 hours and 16 seconds into the broadcast. “Hans Niemann’s board is not translating because the Turkish Chess Federation is implementing anti-cheating measures,” IM Kamal Aghasiyev said on July 24. Aghasiyev later said anti-cheating measures are in place for multiple players. Since his win against Yangyi, Niemann’s game has not been shown via the venue’s video feed or showcased on the analysis board by the commentator. His matches were also delayed on websites like Chess.com, which showcase just the moves on the board. The American was still situated with his team and shown on camera, but his board was cut off from view. The event has teams of six players competing simultaneously, and only a few boards from each team are shown via the event’s live feed. The change in the broadcast’s coverage of Niemann was first spotted on Reddit. The Turkish Chess Federation has not launched any formal accusations against Niemann at the time of writing. The organization has not posted anything about the anti-cheating measures on social media. Niemann has also not commented on the situation at the time of writing.

Hans Niemann vows “vengeance” against Magnus Carlsen in chess grudge match – Dexerto
Hans Niemann vows “vengeance” against Magnus Carlsen in chess grudge match YouTube: Saint Louis Chess Club/ Lex FridmanHans Niemann has promised “vengeance” against Magnus Carlsen in an upcoming cheese match. The two are set to clash again years after the cheating scandal that launched the two into infamy. Niemann and Carlsen have not faced off against each other in a meaningful chess match since 2022 following the Norwegian Grandmaster’s accusations. Carlsen accused the young player of cheating in the Sinquefield Cup on September 4, 2022. Niemann withdrew from the event entirely hours later and later accused the player of cheating. FIDE, the world governing body for chess, later released a report saying there was no evidence to support the allegations against Niemann at the event. The last time the two crossed paths following the allegations toward Niemann was in a Champions Chess Tour match just days later, where Carlsen resigned after three moves. Since then, Carlsen has avoided competing against the American player. The two could have played just weeks ago at the World Blitz Team Championship, but Carlsen chose to face off against someone other than Niemann when their teams matched up. Now, after Carlsen’s win over Arjun Erigaisi and Niemann’s victory over Wesley So at the 2024 Speed Chess Championship, the two are set for an explosive rematch. After Niemann’s win over So, he took time in his post-match interview to call out Chess.com and Magnus ahead of their fated rematch. “Unfortunately, the Chess.com monopoly and mafia defamed my reputation, but I’m letting the chess speak for itself. I think that throughout my chess career, it’ll become abundantly clear that I deserve an apology, but I’m not a victim, so I don’t need an apology,” he said. “My vengeance will be victory on the chessboard.” Niemann has been under intense scrutiny from the chess community at events following the accusations against him, as well as a report from chess.com saying he cheated in many online matches. Carlsen responded to Niemann hours later after defeating Erigaisi, revealing he had already commented on the allegations and the ensuing drama afterward. “Nothing particularly new or surprising,” he said about Niemann’s statements. “I’ve sort of said my piece on camera in a documentary that’s coming at some point. He’s playing quite well. I think if I have a decent day I’ll probably win without too many issues.” The two will face off, barring any changes or refusals to play from either side, in person on September 6 in Paris.

Hans Niemann sues Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru for $100M over chess cheating allegations – Dexerto
Hans Niemann sues Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru for $100M over chess cheating allegations Instagram: Hans NiemannAmid accusations against Hans Niemann for purportedly cheating during a tournament, the chess prodigy has filed a suit against his opponent and the organizers, seeking $100 million. Chess grandmaster and Twitch streamer Hans Niemann shocked the world when he defeated five-time Chess World Champion Magnus Carlsen in the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. But that was just the start of a jaw-dropping saga of drama. Following the loss, Carlsen made allegations that Niemann had cheated during the tournament, including suggesting that Niemann had used an adult toy to do so. This rumor seemed to be confirmed by Chess.com and was repeated by other notable chess players, including Hikaru Nakamura. Now, Carlsen is striking back over what he considers to be false allegations. Niemann sues Carlsen, Hikaru, and others for $100 million The Wall Street Journal reported that Hans Niemann has filed a lawsuit naming Carlsen, Hikaru, and Chess.com. The suit alleges damages of $100 million, accusing the defendants of “slander, libel, an unlawful boycott and tortious interference with Niemann’s business.” In a statement, Niemann’s attorneys stated “[d]efendants have destroyed Niemann’s life simply because he had the talent, dedication and audacity to defeat the so-called ‘King of Chess.’ We will hold defendants fully accountable and expose the truth.” Other named defendants include Carlsen’s company, Play Magnus, and Chess.com’s chief chess officer Danny Rensch. Niemann’s suit alleges that Chess.com, which was purchasing Play Magnus, conspired with Carlsen to leak their investigation. This investigation stated that Niemann had cheated in more than 100 games and had privately admitted to violating the rules of the site when he was banned. However, the report was only regarding online play and did not make any conclusions as to whether Niemann ever cheated in over-the-board matches, though it did point out several suspicious events. Niemann’s lawsuit alleges that the actions by the defendants have cost Niemann financially. Tournament organizers have begun to shun him, opponents are cancelling events, and Niemann cannot obtain employment as a chess teacher.

Hans Niemann strikes back at Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru over chess cheating allegations – Dexerto
Hans Niemann strikes back at Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru over chess cheating allegations Twitch: STLChessClubChess Grandmaster Hans Niemann has fired back at claims that he cheated following his win against Magnus Carlsen at the Sinquefield Cup, slamming the “targeted attack” from his peers. As reigning five-time World Chess Champion, fans believed that Magnus Carlsen would have no trouble pulling in a win against the lower-ranked Hans Niemann at the Sinquefield Cup on September 4. Yet with a skilled Nimzo-Indian Defense, it was Niemann who won the game. However, rumors of foul play started to emerge as Carlsen later withdrew from the tournament. While he didn’t specifically state why, many speculated it was because Niemann cheated, with popular player Hikaru Nakamura referring to his past suspensions for doing the very same thing. Now, Niemann has had his say. The 19-year-old fired back at the “absolutely ridiculous” allegations calling it a “targeted attack” from critics on social media. Hans Niemann denies cheating during Magnus Carlsen game Speaking to STLChessClub’s Twitch channel on September 6, Niemann denied any allegations of cheating. However, he did admit to having broken the rules on Chess.com in the past because he was “willing to do anything to grow” his Twitch channel. He said: “I cheated on random games on Chess.com. I was confronted. I confessed. And this is the single biggest mistake of my life. And I am completely ashamed.” Denying that he had ever “cheated in an over-the-board game,” he hit out at Carlsen and Hikaru for trying to “slander” his Chess career by accusing him of cheating during the Sinquefield Cup with supposedly no evidence. Niemann stated that the accusations were a “targeted attack” by Carlsen and the Chess community on social media. He further added that he had “never ever cheated against” Hikaru, who previously claimed that Niemann was banned from paid tournaments by Chess.com. Some of Niemann’s fans did come to his defense as the theories started to circulate across social media and he expressed his gratitude for their support. Niemann says he has been suspended from his Chess.com account following the controversy. Although, his place in the Sinquefield Cup is still secure, as of writing.

Hans Niemann responds after Elon Musk reignites chess cheating “conspiracy” – Dexerto
Hans Niemann responds after Elon Musk reignites chess cheating “conspiracy” Instagram/HansNiemannChess star Hans Niemann had some choice words for Elon Musk after the X owner reignited claims that he had cheated to win against Magnus Carlsen. Despite the chess cheating dispute between Hans Niemann and Magnus Carlsen being over and done with, Elon Musk isn’t done poking fun at the drama. Back in 2022, the chess world went mainstream after accusations surfaced that Hans Niemann had cheated in an over-the-board game to best the world’s top player. There were many theories about how Niemann could have cheated, with one of the most popular being that the chess prodigy had an item inserted inside of him that would vibrate to transmit what moves he should be making. After months and back and forth, and even a $100M lawsuit, eventually all sides reached an agreement when none of the claims could be proven – but that hasn’t stopped Elon Musk from continuing to reference the viral incident. I have to say that if he did use Stockfish butt vibes, he deserved to win. At least once. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 12, 2024 Computers are so much better than humans at chess, it’s absurd. I predict that chess will be essentially fully solved (like checkers) within 10 years. In a post on X, Elon jokingly tweeted a modified photo of Apple AirPods that prompted a user to ask if they were what “that chess player used.” “I have to say that if he did use Stockfish butt vibes, he deserved to win. At least once,” Elon replied, referencing the powerful chess engine. “Computers are so much better than humans at chess, it’s absurd.” Niemann, however, wasn’t too pleased with Musk for bringing up the old drama, especially when there was no solid proof that he had ever cheated. “Although my innocence has been proven by multiple official chess organizations, I understand the comedic value behind this conspiracy theory,” he blasted. “I look forward to becoming world chess champion, and letting the chess speak for itself.” Although Niemann may not like people discussing the scandal, it doesn’t look like it’s going to die down anytime soon. Earlier this month, it was reported that a movie about the allegations was in development with Emma Stone set to produce. The movie, titled ‘Checkmate,’ comes following the success of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit. In any case, Niemann may want to consider bracing for impact as he’ll undoubtedly be hounded by more questions about the scandal as more info about the film is revealed.

Hans Niemann slams GMHikaru for calling opponent’s family “crazies” after losing – Dexerto
Hans Niemann slams GMHikaru for calling opponent’s family “crazies” after losing Instagram: hans_niemann / Instagram: gmhikaruChess star Hans Niemann slammed GMHikaru after the latter lost to Alireza Firouzja and subsequently called his family “crazies”. Chess grandmaster Alireza is the youngest player to have surpassed a FIDE rating of 2800 and showcased his proficiency during the 2024 Bullet Chess Championship. He won four matches on the final day, taking home the title and defeating grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura. And while Hikaru congratulated Alireza on X (formerly Twitter) after the match, a comment he made later has rubbed some in the chess community the wrong way — namely, Hans. While streaming a chess game, Hikaru spoke with his chat about the championship and stated Alireza played “really, really well”, comparing his performance to that of “a God.” He then went on to say, “Alireza cares a lot more about all these things. He, his dad, his brother — all those crazies care more about these things than I ever will, unfortunately.” Hans wasn’t impressed by this label given to Alireza’s family, posting the clip to X and writing, “Why did you personally attack Alireza and his family after the match? Calling them ‘crazies’ seems like a pretty low blow and pretty poor sportsmanship.” “How can you lose a match and then make personal attacks towards his family?” the chess star said after hearing Hikaru’s comments. “And he calls me immature? What does [Alireza] beating you have to do with his family?” While Hikaru hasn’t responded to Hans’ comments, one viewer stated they didn’t think the grandmaster “meant it in a malicious way” and was instead “just poking fun after a dreadful match.” Nonetheless, many felt Hikaru was acting like a “sore loser,” and one person wrote, “Hikaru is the only guy on earth who will repeatedly tell you that he does not care while having a public meltdown right there and then.”

Hans Niemann hits back at Hikaru’s claim that chess cheating scandal didn’t affect him – Dexerto
Hans Niemann hits back at Hikaru’s claim that chess cheating scandal didn’t affect him Instagram/hans_niemannChess pro Hans Niemann has slammed comments from GM Hikaru Nakamura that the cheating scandal had no effect on his pro career. The chess community was thrown into quite the wild spectacle last year when Hans Niemann was accused of cheating in a match against Magnus Carlsen resulting in a lawsuit. For months fans and players alike tried to figure out if and how there could be cheating in an over-the-board in-person match with some theories even suggesting an adult toy was transmitting moves through vibrations. However, Chess.com found no evidence of any wrongdoing and this week, Niemann’s lawsuit against Carlsen and Hikaru over the allegations was resolved, but the pro took issue with comments made after the dispute was settled. (segment begins at 5:20) Hans Niemann slams Hikaru’s new comments about chess cheating scandal In a YouTube video, Hikaru claimed that Niemann was still being invited to tournaments, but his rating had dropped a bit following the allegations and FIDE implemented new security measures. “Hans is able to compete very frequently throughout the world. He’s been playing in tournaments pretty much nonstop since the lawsuit,” he said. “He’s not short of opportunities at the present time.” According to Niemann, however, the events he participated in were open tournaments where he was either the top or second seed, something he called “suicide for your rating.” “No players of my rating play in these tournaments,” he explained on Twitch. “Last year, I played invitationals [at the St. Louis Chess Club]. I have not been invited to a single tournament in St. Louis. They don’t even respond to my emails.” Niemann further added that invitational tournaments outside of the US that he used to play in no longer invite him to compete. We’ll have to see if things change now that the lawsuit has been settled and Magnus Carlsen has agreed to play against Niemann should their paths cross.

Hans Niemann, Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru settle dispute after adult toy chess cheating claims Pixabay/GMHikaruHans Niemann has been cleared of using an adult toy to cheat at chess following a viral scandal and accusations by Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. The chess world was rocked by cheating allegations last year when 19-year-old Grandmaster Hans Niemann defeated Magnus Carlsen twice, leading to insulations of foul play. This ended up resulting in theories about how Niemann could be cheating from popping up, including one popularized by Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel that an adult toy could be transmitting moves. Now, according to Chess.com, all sides involved have settled their differences with their legal dispute now over and the three are able to talk freely about their views. Hans Niemann cleared of using adult toy to cheat at chess The accusations against Niemann resulted in the chess prodigy suing both Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru for $100M, but luckily, an agreement has been reached and the chess world can move forward. Chess.com says that it stands by its 2022 report that Hans didn’t cheat in any in-person games and has been fully reinstated. “I am pleased that my lawsuit against Magnus Carlsen and Chess.com has been resolved in a mutually acceptable manner, and that I am returning to Chess.com,” Niemann said. “I look forward to competing against Magnus in chess rather than in court.” Meanwhile, GM Hikaru says he felt like he was dragged into this whole ordeal, but said it’s “good” that chess can move forward and glad that cheating continues to be taken seriously online and over the board. (segment begins at 5:11) Carlsen accepted the decision, saying that he “acknowledges” and “understands” the report, and has agreed to compete against Niemann in future games if they’re matched against each other. It’s not clear when Carlsen and Niemann might end up competing against one another once more, but it will be a must-watch event when the two battle it out on the board.

Hans Niemann furious as Saint Louis Chess Club bans him for “inappropriate behavior” – Dexerto
Hans Niemann furious as Saint Louis Chess Club bans him for “inappropriate behavior” Instagram: Hans NiemannControversial chess pro Hans Niemann has been banned from the Saint Louis Chess Club for the entirety of 2024, and he is not happy about it. Hans Niemann has emerged as one of the most promising chess stars in recent memory after a surprising victory against the world’s best player, Magnus Carlsen, in 2022. However, his newfound fame soon devolved into infamy as Carlsen began to accuse Nieman of cheating in an over-the-board event after previously doing so online. While Niemann has since been cleared of any wrongdoing by Chess.com, the controversy has continued into 2024, with the pro now being banned from the world-famous Saint Louis Chess Club. Saint Louis Chess Club bans Hans Niemann from 2024 tournaments In a statement, the Saint Louis Chess Club claimed that after consideration of recent events, they would not be extending an invitation to Hans Niemann to compete in any tournament hosted in 2024. “The decision was based on GM Hans Niemann’s demonstrated inappropriate behavior including damaging private property, rude comments and an uncooperative attitude resulting in a failure to fulfill contractual obligations,” the club said. Furthermore, the club added that they hoped this would give Niemann time to “experience personal reflection,” and that they would reevaluate this decision in the future depending on the progress he makes. Hans was not thrilled with this and posted a scathing tweet slamming the club for how he has been treated in the past while disputing some of the claims. Hans Niemann slams Saint Louis Chess Club for 2024 ban “In all of 2023, I received 0 invitations to tournaments and could not even get a response to an email or call for months on end,” he said. “I was assured shortly before the US Championships that I was not ‘blacklisted’ by the club and would receive invitations in 2024. I was assured that my relationship with the club was fine and was never made aware of any ‘inappropriate behavior’ or rude comments.” He went on to say that the claim about him not fulfilling contractual obligations was “ridiculous,” explaining that they stemmed from him not wanting to do an interview after a disappointing draw while agreeing to all other interviews throughout the US Chess Championships. “This is only an excuse that they have now conjured up their decision to blacklist one of America’s brightest talents,” Niemann added. “They seem to be committed to ruining the career of one of America’s brightest talents. I will not let this blatant disinformation continue and will address everything in detail as soon as possible.” The 20-year-old says he plans to release a full video going over his ban and explaining the situation in more detail. He also vows that the truth “will prevail” and he won’t be silenced.

Humans taking on computers in chess is nothing new, but the debate over whether humans will be replaced by AI remains a controversial subject. On March 2, Elon Musk weighed in on chess’s popularity and the advancement of software compared to the ELO rating of world champions. According to the X owner, even a phone could beat the world’s top chess pros – something that Hans Niemann took an issue with. Hans Niemann responds to Elon Musk’s AI chess concerns In his post, Musk claimed that chess is just the tip of the iceberg and more games will be affected by AI. “Won’t be long before AI can win at games that have vastly higher degrees of freedom than chess,” he said. “Hope it’s nice to us.” Because chess is so widely-understood, it is played mostly for social reasons. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 4, 2024 At this point, even your phone could beat the best human chess players on Earth (sigh). Won’t be long before AI can win at games that have vastly higher degrees of freedom than chess. Hope it’s nice… In response, controversial chess pro Hans Niemann said that while Musk had a point in regards to top play, he’s underestimating the power of human creativity. “Your point is valid regarding top level chess where deep computer preparation nullifies human creativity, however, for 99% of chess players, there is plenty of room for creative exploration and intellectual stimulation,” he shot back. Niemann continued, alleging that without time constraints, chess becomes a more interesting game because players rely on their intuition. “More than happy to show how chess is a far more interesting game than you might realize,” he added, inviting Elon to collab at some point. So far, Musk has yet to respond to the invite, but if the two do end up colliding, it could make for one of the most interesting chess streams in quite some time.

Former Hannah Montana star arrested for public intoxication – Dexerto
Former Hannah Montana star arrested for public intoxication Rockwall County Sheriff OfficeFormer Hannah Montana star Mitchell Musso has been arrested on public intoxication and theft charges after allegedly refusing to pay for a packet of chips. Musso became famous for playing Oliver Oken, Miley and Lilly’s best friend in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. The actor also voiced Jeremy Johnson in Phineas and Ferb and hosted the network’s PrankStars hidden camera show. In addition to acting, Musso released a self-titled debut album, which made the Billboard 200 charts. He also opened for the band Metro Station. Musso arrested for public intoxication and theft As reported by People, the Rockwall Police Department responded to a “disturbance” involving Musso on August 26 at a Texas hotel. According to a press release from the police, an allegedly intoxicated person walked into a hotel and “selected a bag of chips and began eating them.” “When the subject was asked to pay for them, he became verbally abusive and left without rendering payment,” the statement reads. “A routine records check also revealed Mr. Musso had several outstanding traffic warrants out of Rockwall Police Department,” the police added. The warrants were for failing to show a driver’s license and an expired registration. He also did not follow a “promise to appear” order. Authorities arrested Musso outside the hotel for public intoxication and theft (under $100), both Class C Misdemeanors. Musso stayed overnight in jail and posted a $1,000 bond the next day. Back in 2011, police pulled Musso over and charged him with a DUI suspicion. At 20 years old, Musso blew above the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content. Burbank Leader reported that he “drove through [an] intersection and failed to do what [an] officer instructed him to do.” This caused Pair of Kings to write out his character and the cancellation of PrankStars.

Hannah Stocking uses ‘fake Hannah’ to avoid Ondreaz Lopez breakup questions Instagram: hannahstockingInfluencer and TikTok personality Hannah Stocking found a creative way to avoid questions about her breakup with Ondreaz Lopez when being interviewed by the paparazzi, swapping herself for a bizarre Hannah impersonator. [jwplayer pNjHVqy4] Hannah Stocking is an internet personality who has found a substantial following on multiple platforms, including 18 million followers on Instagram and over 22 million followers on TikTok. Her focus is on comedy content, and she gets millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes for every video she posts. However, she was caught up in drama recently when ex-boyfriend and fellow TikToker Ondreaz Lopez was accused of having relations with a minor, and was subsequently sued. The case against him and his brother Tony Lopez, who is also being sued for allegedly soliciting minors, is ongoing. Following this drama, Hannah and Ondreaz ended up ending their relationship, though how exactly everything went down is unclear, as the details of what happened between the two aren’t very public. Hannah Stocking pranks paparazzi Naturally, fans are keen to know what exactly happened between the pair, and paparazzi made sure to follow up on the situation when they spotted the star out in public.

We broke up but I’d prefer not to talk about it. I hope everybody’s doing well and okay, and everybody’s happy.” When she was asked about her friend and fellow influencer Lele Pons, she suddenly stopped the interview, dashing to her car and saying she forgot her purse.

The fake Hannah joked that her outfit was “all Gucci,” before randomly tripping and dropping her purse. The paparazzi spoke with the “imposter” for a short while, baffled by the bizarre swap, before the actual Hannah returned.

Hannah from Below Deck shades Captain Sandy about firing with cheeky joke – Dexerto
Hannah from Below Deck shades Captain Sandy about firing with cheeky joke BravoFormer Below Deck Mediterranean star Hannah Ferrier has taken a cheeky shot at Captain Sandy Yawn over her firing in Season 5. Hannah featured in Below Deck Med from the very start as a chief stew, lasting five charter seasons before she was famously fired by Captain Sandy. Ferrier was a constant feature on the show’s cast until Sandy was alerted that she had been taking Valium on board, which she said broke contraband rules at sea. In one of the most dramatic exits the series has ever seen, Hannah was chased to her dorm by Sandy – who was making sure she didn’t destroy the evidence. She was later fired. Hannah from Below Deck Med makes joke about her firing Since leaving the cast, the Australian has joined another yachting show down under, called ‘The Love Boat Australia’ on CBS. Those who follow her on social media will know she’s always actively posting for her 840,000 followers on Instagram. In a series of posts, she decided to highlight some of the differences between how Aussies and Americans talk, after seeing some chatter about the topic from viewers online. Her first reel was about ‘Ketchup vs Tomato sauce’, and the second was ‘Jelly vs Jam’. The final video was crowned the most popular with over 25,000 likes, for obvious reasons, focused on ‘Valium vs Diazapan’. Knowing the joke was going to land well with Below Deck viewers, she cheekily smiled and closed her door in front of the camera. The joke couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time for fans, either. Captain Sandy has been called out by viewers throughout Below Deck US Searson 10, following a series of firings she made after stepping in to replace Captain Lee – who left on medical grounds. In the replies, there was a lot of support for Hannah, too. One said: “Hi can you come back and we get rid of Sandy oops, Captain Sandy?” “You are the best. F**k Below Deck. You’re a star, keep shining!” Other comments called out former Below Deck star Malia for alerting Sandy about Hannah using the contraband on board. Ferrier has certainly closed her chapter on Bravo TV but her journey on the high seas is not over just yet, sharing new stories on her podcast.

Hannah Hart reveals why her dad won’t attend her wedding in teary video – Dexerto
Hannah Hart reveals why her dad won’t attend her wedding in teary video MyHarto, YouTubeYouTube star Hannah ‘MyHarto’ Hart popped the question to longtime girlfriend Ella Mielniczenko in 2018 — but their upcoming wedding is stirring up some emotional family issues for the content creator. Hart opened up about her wedding in a tear-jerking video on February 28, where she revealed that her father won’t be attending the ceremony, and explained the reason behind his absence. According to the YouTuber, her father is a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, a Christian denomination best known for its door-to-door evangelism that Hart calls a “cult.” “My dad isn’t coming to my wedding because he’s a Jehovah’s Witness,” she clarified. “…they’re more like an organization that consumes your entire life and controls all your relationships. …in the course of my life, the Witnesses have always been more important than me.” Hart went on to admit that the situation is causing her great emotional distress, claiming that her father’s choice to abstain from the wedding is “devastating to me.” That’s not all: the YouTuber also announced that she has been afraid of discussing the Jehovah’s Witnesses and her opinion of the group for fear of retaliation, as well as a fear of losing her relationship with her father. “There’s nothing I want more than a relationship with my dad,” she continued. “But I can’t pretend that his choices are something that I respect. My dad isn’t coming to my wedding, and I have to process this hurt because it’s weighing me down.” Hart is best known for her viral YouTube comedy and cooking series “My Drunk Kitchen,” where she cooks a meal while intoxicated. The show earned her ample praise online, with the star receiving a Streamy Award for her comedic genius that has since amassed her a huge following. However, another notable moment in Hart’s career also occurred when she came out as a lesbian in her viral 2012 series “COMING OUT,” the first installment of which has garnered over 1.3 million views at the time of writing. Hart proposed to her girlfriend, Ella Mielniczenko, six years later — and despite the family drama currently surrounding their wedding, the star is using her platform to encourage her fans to “live their truth” despite what their parents may think.

Hank Green roasts Instagram over NFT integration feature: “Shut the f**k up” – Dexerto
Hank Green roasts Instagram over NFT integration feature: “Shut the f**k up” YouTube: VlogbrothersVlogbrother and science communicator Hank Green has taken aim at Instagram’s newly announced NFT integration feature and questioned the company’s true intentions. On May 9, Instagram Lead Adam Mosseri posted a Reel explaining how Instagram is working towards implementing NFTs into the app in a creator-friendly way. In his video, the big boss man explains that by adding NFT-specific features, the platform could take another step towards helping creators “make a living doing what they love.” As something of an expert on the topic of creator finances, Hank Green stepped in to point out just how much money IG makes off of users on its platform and to question where all of that cash actually ends up. View this post on Instagram Hank Green roasts Instagram over NFT integration plans Green starts off by questioning the authenticity of Mosseri’s video and diving straight into the numbers. “I don’t want to get super snarky on you, because I have friends that work at Instagram, but oh my god shut the f**k up. In 2020, Instagram made $24 billion dollars and all of that money, all of it, was made on advertisements placed in between pieces of content on your app.” The popular YouTuber went on to suggest that the NFT rollout has less to do with helping creators and is just another way for the company to pad its pockets. “It sounds like you’re trying to figure out a really tough nut to crack – which is how to help creators make a living doing what they love without sharing any of the $24 billion dollars a year that you make. It just sounds really tough.” This isn’t the first time that Green has been critical of the relationship between large corporations and their creators. Back in January, the YouTube star uploaded a 20-minute video explaining how TikTok is “dramatically underpaying” the people who make content on the app.

Hank Green explains how TikTok Creator Fund benefits future influencers – Dexerto
Hank Green explains how TikTok Creator Fund benefits future influencers YouTube: Hank Green[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Vlogbrothers’ Hank Green has lambasted YouTube for its method of paying content creators, praising TikTok instead for its new – and very generous – creator fund. Hank is one-half of YouTube duo Vlogbrothers with John Green, the author of the Fault in Our Stars. Hank and John have been on the platform since 2007, and led their huge community of “Nerdfighters.” Hank and John both invest heavily in events and projects that champion YouTube content. They also host the annual event ‘Project for Awesome,’ where YouTubers come together to raise as much money for various charities as they possibly can. With more than 3 million subscribers, the brothers still use their platform to educate and inform the internet about important topics, including politics, science, and history, and often offer their commentary on news affecting the online world. On Thursday, Hank lamented the rise of TikTok, saying that the platform is “different in a way that matters.” He compared it to Instagram, claiming that “Instagram’s just over there being like, ‘Figure it out your own godd**n selves.’” He explained that TikTok budgets $200 million per year to compensate their creators based on engagement, rather than the amount of money they make for the platform. YouTube, on the other hand, pays creators per view and depending on the quality of the view. “I haven’t even considered that there might be a different way. Well, TikTok has found a different way,” Hank said, explaining how this means “that people with wealthy audiences don’t automatically and immediately make more than people with poorer audiences.” “It’s a shift that YouTube could never make now, but it might end up actually being a better system for platforms that, at this point, I think care more about rewarding content that rewards viewers rather than content that makes money,” he added. Hank offered his own advice for how similar platforms could go about paying creators in the future, maintaining that “the quality and quantity of content on your platform will only go up as the creator fund budget increases. “I promise you you will not feel bad about the kind of magic you inspire people to create,” he concluded.
