Former TikTok employee goes viral for stealing ‘company assets’ on her final day Instagram: simonacruzerA former TikTok employee has gone viral for making a TikTok video on her final day at the company. In the clip, she goes around and explores the TikTok office in New York one last time before stealing some “company assets” for herself. Former TikTok employee Simona went viral after she shared her last day at the company via a TikTok video. On her last day at the social media giant, she spent the time roaming around the halls of the office, exploring and highlighting the various cool areas. Alongside this, Simona took her own liberties in grabbing various “company assets” to keep. The TikTok video follows a similar trend of employees making videos trailing them as they go about their day in their office. However, Simona’s video came with a bit of a twist for viewers. Instead of labeling the video as “come with me to work a day at X company”, Simona explicitly states she wants the user to come with her to “steal company assets from TikTok”. In the video, Simona heads around various areas of the office, pointing out cool locations such as the vibrantly lit hallways, the “irreplaceable bathrooms” and the fantastic views that the office offered. Alongside this, she made sure to note and sarcastically joke by originally stating “we” whilst moving throughout the office, only to state “oops, not a we anymore”. Simona was sure to not leave the TikTok office empty-handed, however, making sure she stole some “company assets” along the way. These company assets were revealed to be various snacks that TikTok offered to their employees. She also made sure to keep her company lanyard with her, despite needing to hand it in with her TikTok ID and laptop. The TikTok has since gone viral, gathering a massive 1.7 million views, with over 170,000 likes on the post at the time of writing. Some TikTok users in the replies were also eager to reprimand the company for laying off employees, whilst others complimented Simona’s satirical handling of the situation. One user pointed out how incredibly meta it was for Simona to post a TikTok about stealing from TikTok as a former TikTok employee. Simona has gone on in a further TikTok to explain that the whole “stealing” was a joke, however, stating that “she only stole $10 worth of snacks” and that the whole thing was meant to be satirical.

Former Nijisanji member reveals “tipping point” that made her quit – Dexerto
Former Nijisanji member reveals “tipping point” that made her quit VShojoFormer Nijisanji member Mika Melatika has revealed why she left the VTuber agency, stating two main reasons for her graduation. Now streaming on Twitch as Michi Mochievee, the VShojo star told a story about her past in Nijisanji, in which the VTuber claimed to have been warned after joking about taking her YouTube Play Button home while on a tour of the agency’s office. Using the fake alias ‘Bethany’ for legal reasons, Michi claimed, “Bethany made a joke saying shhh, yoink and laughed about it,” as she gestured to grab the Play Button before following, “then Bethany got scolded for making a distasteful joke.” The Nijisanji staff allegedly threatened to kick her out of the office for making the joke, reaffirming, “You’ve got to understand, we can’t have that happen here,” as paraphrased by Michi, even after she insisted it was just a harmless joke. Confused by the reaction, she expressed, “Considering Bethany worked in the entertainment industry, Bethany thought people would take jokes easily and not think Bethany was actually a thief.” This series of events made her feel “very bad” and “very weird,” as she now believed the Nijisanji staff genuinely thought Michi was a criminal who intended to steal from the company. She also claimed they wouldn’t let her take a picture of the Play Button for privacy reasons, further emphasizing the distrust. Michi described this and prior issues with how Nijisanji’s alleged handling of her finances forced her to pay back two years of unpaid tax as the”tipping point” and “straw that broke the camel’s back,” eventually leading to her graduation in October 2023. She isn’t the only former talent to claim Nijisanji caused them serious tax issues either, with K9Kuro previously revealing he amassed a £350,000 debt while streaming as Mysta Rias before later joining VShojo. There has been a theory for some time that Nijisanji does not allow its talents to own their YouTube Play Buttons. While the reasons for this are unclear, Claude Clawmark previously dismissed these rumors and insisted members can “just f**king ask” if they want one, but this doesn’t align with what any former talents have claimed.

Former Overwatch streamer Fran responds to critics after ditching Twitch for “scam” NFTs – Dexerto
Former Overwatch streamer Fran responds to critics after ditching Twitch for “scam” NFTs Twitter/Fran/TwitchFormer Twitch streamer Francine ‘Fran’ Vo is responding to criticism from fans after she admitted that her career pivot to NFTs was a “scam.” Earlier in 2022, Fran shocked the Twitch and Overwatch landscape by announcing she was giving up streaming to pursue NFTs. The decision resulted in a fair bit of controversy, but after a few months of being quiet, Fran once again addressed the situation on Reddit. In a post, she claimed that “99% of NFTs are scams” but made more selling them than she made in her whole streamer career. “If you’re buying a picture of an ugly looking bear for $20,000 USD you deserve to lose your money,” she wrote, upsetting some fans in the process. Ngl… reading this part of Frans reddit statement just comes off as so messed up. -she acknowledges its a scam -she acknowledges it hurts ppl -says she’s ok with hurting ppl bc they should know better and she made a lot of “”gains””… pic.twitter.com/KVWqboh5uP— KCP NyanSpam🇵🇸💙#BLM (@NyanSox) July 1, 2022 Fran defends selling “scam” NFTs In response to a fan taking issue with Fran admitting that she sold NFTs for large profits, the former streamer defended her position. “You do realize the price of the NFTs are created by groups of people and their speculations, and that trading is done anonymously on marketplaces, right?” she asked. “If you’re trying to feel sorry for the person who bought my NFT, you’re literally empathizing with other NFTers.” She went on to clarify her comment about NFTs being scams, noting how “most of these projects don’t last long and end up falling in price over time.” https://twitter.com/FRANA_OW/status/1543960339796168705 During her years as an Overwatch streamer, Fran was one of the most popular support hero specialists on Twitch, eventually even becoming an OWL streamer for both the Atlanta Reign and Toronto Defiant. For those wishing Fran would return to the game with the release of Overwatch 2, don’t get your hopes up. The former streamer says she dealt with harassment on a daily basis when on Twitch and wishes to “never experience that again.”

Former NFL pro Pat McAfee responds to Ninja’s take on kickers – Dexerto
Former NFL pro Pat McAfee responds to Ninja’s take on kickers Streaming star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins’ take on the art of kicking in professional football was met with a fervor of responses online – including a couple from some current and former players who’ve experienced the aspect of sports that requires unbelievable mental strength. If you think the late-game heroics in video games like CSGO, Fortnite, and League of Legends determine who is clutch and who is not, then you might be surprised to know that moments like that are a pop quiz compared to the mental test of nailing a game-winning field goal. Being able to kick between the uprights in clutch moments could mean the difference between a Hall of Fame career like Adam Vinatieri, and not being able to set foot in the city of Chicago again, like Cody Parkey. But Mixer streamer Ninja, who’s also a long-suffering but faithful Detroit Lions fan, expressed his opinion that it’s silly for kickers and their snappers to mess up something so silly. https://twitter.com/Ninja/status/1200828146578317312 Ducky, a mobile Fortnite player for Complexity, replied with a seemingly joking and similarly worded tweet about playing Fortnite, prompting Ninja to reply with the implication that Fortnite is harder than kicking in football due to of all its additional variables. https://twitter.com/Ninja/status/1200830143721291778 Whether Ninja’s reply was serious or not, his initial take drew some responses from football players who take the art of kicking very seriously. Current Pro Bowler long snapper for the Denver Broncos, Casey Kreiter, responded with the point that special teams is a group effort that is never simple, to which Ninja agreed. Kyle Long, guard for the Chicago Bears, responded cheekily with a tweet of his own, saying, “Hey @Ninja, there is no wind in Fortnite, and the grass can be changed in your settings.” Former NFL punter Pat McAfee responded as well, inviting Ninja on his own “The Pat McAfee Show” to discuss. Very very good question.. Come on the show.. let’s chat about it brother man — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) November 30, 2019 McAfee punted kickoffs for the Indianapolis Colts from 2009 to 2016, where he made two Pro Bowls. He was well known for his colorful personality and sense of humor, which helped him translate to a career as an analyst and a show host with ease after he retired. He’s also an avid professional wrestling fan, having appeared on WWE programming several times, and even once laying the smackdown on a Denver Broncos kick returner in 2013. Hopefully, there won’t be any body-slams if and when Ninja joins Pat on the show to discuss the art of kicking. Ninja has already been hurt by professional football players enough, being a Lions fans and all.

Former NFL star Le’Veon Bell claims KSI “would never” fight him – Dexerto
Former NFL star Le’Veon Bell claims KSI “would never” fight him YT: KSI / IG: Le’Veon BellFormer NFL running back Le’Veon Bell has claimed KSI “would never” fight him after the idea was floated on Twitter. The world of influencer boxing, despite some skepticism from purists of the sport, continues to expand rapidly. KSI’s own brand, Misfits, recently signed a 5-year deal with DAZN to bring fans all the latest fights from the YouTube boxing sphere. In the build-up to KSI’s fight against FaZe Temperrr – previously meant to be against American MMA fighter Dillon Danis – rumors have circulated over who the wildly successful Brit could fight next. Now, former American football star Le’Veon Bell has been touted as a potential opponent. Le’Veon Bell claims KSI “would never” fight him The idea was floated by one Twitter account on January 11, saying: “I’d love to see KSI vs Le’Veon Bell.” The 3x Pro Bowl star responded that KSI “would never” fight him, even if it was a serious option. “He’d never,” he said. “He won’t even fight, I know for a fact he would never fight me.” He didn’t offer a concrete reason why he believes KSI would avoid a bout with him, but certainly seemed convinced that it wouldn’t be the rapper’s choice of fight. Bell has already become involved in the world of YouTube boxing. He has previously called out Jake Paul and, in October 2022, fought on the undercard of Paul vs Anderson Silva. There, he lost narrowly to Uriah Hall in his professional fighting debut. KSI has not responded to Bell’s comments as of the publication of this article.

Former MrBeast employee’s family swatted after police raid his house on Kick – Dexerto
Former MrBeast employee’s family swatted after police raid his house on Kick Instagram: jake_thevikingFormer MrBeast employee and Misfits Boxing influencer, Jake the Viking, has claimed that he and his family were swatted after he streamed on Kick. Jake ‘The Viking’ Franklin was an iconic part of MrBeast’s crew before the star became YouTube’s most-subscribed creator in 2022. Known for his easygoing personality and viking-esque appearance, Jake the Viking has gone on to create his own content — but now, he’s facing some unexpected dangers. On April 3, Franklin claimed that he’d been swatted while streaming live on Kick, an alternative broadcasting platform that’s risen as a rival to the likes of Twitch and YouTube. Kick streamer’s family swatted after police raid his home In fact, Jake even posted a clip from his stream, showing police clearing his streaming room that was captured during his broadcast. However, the swatting didn’t end there. On April 4, Jake claimed that his parents and sister were also being “targeted” by his harassers. The term ‘swatting’ refers to an act wherein a person will call law enforcement with false claims against another person with the intent of sending a large number of police officers to their home, usually under the pretense that the victim is an immediate threat to others around them. For now, it’s unclear why Jake was the victim of this sudden swatting — but, unfortunately, he’s not alone. A plethora of content creators have been swatted over the years, with the likes of Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, and even IShowSpeed getting swatted in a rash of similar incidents last year. These swattings can pose a real danger to victims and leave them with lasting trauma. In an interview, streamer QTCinderella claimed that she suffered from PTSD after she and her partner were swatted, saying she was unable to sleep well at night and needed to be constantly aware of her surroundings. We’ll keep you updated right here on Dexerto as more news comes forth regarding Jake the Viking’s current situation.

Why did Jesse Sebastiani leave the NELK Boys? Star opens up on his decision after selling his shares – Dexerto
Why did Jesse Sebastiani leave the NELK Boys? Star opens up on his decision after selling his shares YouTube: SundayJesse Sebastiani shocked fans when he stopped appearing in the NELK Boys’ videos in 2020. But why did he leave the group? Here’s everything we know. In the early days of the NELK Boys, fans would be accustomed to seeing a few faces in every video – Kyle, Jesse, Steve, and Lucas – but things have changed over the last few years. While the Canadian YouTube group has soared in popularity, starting the FULL SEND Podcast and Happy Dad seltzer brand, some members have departed. The biggest of which has, of course, been Jesse. The founder member started to take a break from appearing in videos in 2020, and by 2021 he wasn’t appearing at all. His exit from content was put down to a ‘burn out’ but he’s since left the group and started his own new project. Jesse explains his side of his NELK Boys exit While Kyle has explained things from his side, Jesse has now confirmed why he decided to leave the YouTube collective and go off on his own path. “It’s sad that it’s coming to an end but it was definitely needed,” Jesse said in a behind-the-scenes video for his new project, Sunday. “It was almost due a while ago. We just had creative differences and sh*t, different things, different looks on how we wanted to do things and we are actually passionate about. “The past is the past. There’s no bad blood, I’m not trying to make it about that. It’s just ready for a fresh start. I’m super grateful for all this sh*t.” Timestamp of 1:00 Jesse did note that his exit allowed him to achieve the “big check” of taking care of his family, which has been his goal throughout the whole time. According to Kyle, Jesse is still involved with the Happy Dad brand and “owns a huge piece” of that, so maybe the pair will link back up at some point.

Former Meta recruiter claims they were making $190k a year without recruiting anyone – Dexerto
Former Meta recruiter claims they were making $190k a year without recruiting anyone Unsplash: Mariia ShalabaievaA former Meta recruiter took to TikTok to report that she was supposedly being paid 190k a year despite the company not looking to recruit anyone during her time there. Tech giant Meta has dominated the social media space in the past, with social media applications such as Facebook and Instagram being incredibly popular. However, Meta has run into some problems recently with their budget, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced 10,000 layoffs were going to take place across the company. It appears that a TikTok user wanted to provide some insight into what was going on at Meta, and wanted to express how she was being paid an absolutely insane amount of money, despite not doing anything. TikTok user maddie_macho spoke further about her time at the tech giant on her TikTok, stating that she was “getting paid 190k to do nothing at Meta”. She further revealed that Meta didn’t have plans to hire anyone for the next 6-12 months at the time she was hired. “What did we do all day? That is a great question. When I was working at Meta and I was a recruiter, and we weren’t expected to hire anybody for the first six months, even the first year. This is something they tell you when you start.” Maddie was clearly a tad confused at this prospect, as she wondered why she wasn’t doing what the role required for the first 12 months. As such, she was more than happy to just chill at the company and be paid ridiculously high amounts of money, despite not needing to do hire anyone. “That really blew my mind. I was like perfect, I’m just going to ride this out for a year. Obviously, I didn’t make that but, you know. She explained that instead of having her hire new staff members, Meta spent a good amount of time on her onboarding and training. “So what do you do all day? You’re learning. They have a really amazing onboarding and training… The expectation is that when you start is really that you’re just learning and taking it all in.” She then finally expressed what she believed to be the craziest part about her time at Meta, which was the sheer amount of team meetings when no one else was hiring either. “The crazy part is that we had so many team meetings. Why are we meeting? We aren’t hiring nobody… Also, I was on a team where everybody was new so none of us were hiring anybody. We were all just trying to figure out things. None of us knew the answers so we’d ask our boss and she’d be like ‘I don’t know’ cause she was new too.” Meta has recently joined the trend of tech companies mass laying off staff, with an announcement of 10,000 employees being laid off just a week ago.

Former MMA fighters brawl with dads on golf course in viral beatdown – Dexerto
Former MMA fighters brawl with dads on golf course in viral beatdown Twitter/TJEckertKTULA group of former MMA fighters got into a heated brawl after some youngsters were running around on a golf course in a ridiculous viral video. Fight clips are all the rage lately, and there seems to be no end to the brutal slobber-knockers on social media. We’ve seen Waffle House wars, incredible 15v1 against-the-odds rumbles, gas station shootouts that resemble John Wick and now even a beatdown on a golf course. In a clip shared by Tulsa TV sports anchor TJ Eckert, things got out of control at the Bailey Ranch Golf Club in Owasso when multiple people began punching each other in the face. Golfers fight dads after kids play on golf course According to Eckert, who got both sides of the story, the MMA fighters-turned-golfers saw kids running around on the course and urged them to get out of the way on the other side of the fence to avoid being hit with a ball. Despite the warning, a woman from a nearby house allegedly yelled at the golfers and claimed that the kids’ dads would fight them. However, the woman and the dads told a different story. They claimed that the MMA fighters “freaked out” when the mother made a joke and began yelling at the kids and their moms, prompting the dads to step in. “Men from the house ran out to confront the golfers/stand up for women and children. Fight ensues,” Eckert explained, but told his audience to decide for themselves who to believe. Regardless of the reasoning behind the battle, the dads certainly got rattled. One punch was enough to cause a Herb Dean stoppage if this was the UFC, and a golfer in pink took on multiple people at once. It’s not clear if any charges were filed or if the altercation was settled peacefully, but this will certainly go down as one of the wildest rounds of golf in history.

Former McDonald’s chef reveals why their kitchens don’t have knives – Dexerto
Former McDonald’s chef reveals why their kitchens don’t have knives TIKTOK: chefmikeharacz / UNSPLASHA former McDonald’s corporate chef took to TikTok to explain to curious viewers why their employees can’t have access to knives. Former McDonald’s chef Mike Haracz (chefmikeharacz) often goes viral on TikTok, sharing stories about how they put menus together, how you can get secret items, fast-food hacks, and more. In a recent clip posted on October 21, he revealed a surprising tidbit while answering a question from a commenter. Haracz starts the video by reading, “Random question: If I wanted McDonald’s to cut a burger in half for me, do they even have access to a knife to do that?” “The answer is no,” he replied before explaining why they don’t use knives. “They do not have a knife because there is nothing in the McDonald’s restaurant that crew need to chop or cut for any reason,” Haracz shared. “Cheese comes in cut, tomatoes come in pre-sliced, lettuce comes shredded. I think there’s lemon wedges, if there’s like for tea for lemon, but that has a lemon wedger or a citrus wedger… contraption,” he said. “Onions are already cut, dehydrated onions are dehydrated and mashed up, so there is nothing anything they would need a knife for.” However, he mentions that in cases where “pouches and similar items” need opening, employees usually have access to McDonald ’s-approved tools. “But no, no knives,” he emphasizes. TikTok users in the comments were baffled to hear this information, with some wondering what tools they’d use for a person who wants their burger cut in half. “Maybe a utility knife? Box opener for opening the pre-sliced ingredients in boxes?” one viewer wrote. “A kitchen with no knives is wild!! Surely they’d use a plastic or wooden knife?” another said. One user who claimed to have received their burger cut in half recounted how McDonald’s workers had to improvise with their tools. “They actually used a spatula. They did it for me,” they revealed.

Former McDonald’s chef shares what cheese to buy to replicate the Big Mac – Dexerto
Former McDonald’s chef shares what cheese to buy to replicate the Big Mac TikTok: ChefmikeharaczFormer McDonald’s chef Mike Haracz has shocked viewers yet again by revealing what cheese you should buy if you want the same taste as McDonald’s for your at-home burgers. When you think of popular fast-food places, there’s no doubt that McDonald’s is among the first to come to mind. Their popularity has prompted many people to attempt to recreate their products at home to save money or to make a slightly healthier option. Former McDonald’s chef Mike Haracz is here to help you make the Big Mac at home by revealing what cheese you should buy — and it’s easier to get than you’d think. McDonald’s chef reveals what cheese you should buy Posted on September 21, 2023, Haracz’s video has been viewed thousands of times and viewers love his suggestion. In the clip, Mike reveals that you can’t get the exact cheese offered on McDonald’s sandwiches, but you can go to Walmart and pick up their Great Value Deluxe American Cheese. He warned not to get the pre-wrapped singles, but to get either an un-cut loaf or the package that’s “shingled” and not individually wrapped. The former corporate chef also revealed that McDonald’s leaves their cheese out so that it becomes room temperature, and it makes a difference in the flavor. “They are almost identical, there’s a little bit of difference in preservation,” he revealed. Users flooded the comments with their thoughts on the tip coinciding with the video gaining traction on the platform. “I love how you always make McDonald’s seem like the high-end delicacy,” one user replied. Another said: “I was about to comment about the GV deluxe cheese! I’ve been using it for years!! Can’t beat it.” This isn’t the first time Mike has gone viral, either. Just earlier in September, he explained why you shouldn’t order the Big Mac when visiting the restaurant.

Former McDonald’s chef explains why you shouldn’t order a Big Mac – Dexerto
Former McDonald’s chef explains why you shouldn’t order a Big Mac TikTok: ChefMikeHaraczA former McDonald’s chef explained why the Big Mac might not be the most optimal burger on the menu and gave his recommendation on what to order, instead. A TikTok foodie who goes by the name of ‘Chef Mike Haracz’ has revealed plenty of McDonald’s hacks, as he is a former chef of the fast food restaurant. Though he no longer works for McDonald’s, Haracz recently gave his 191.4K followers advice on how to order a Big Mac the right way. Fans have since commented on the now-viral video, explaining their tips and tricks while ordering their own McDonald’s orders. McDonald’s customers share their Big Mac hacks The McDonald’s Big Mac has been around since 1967 when it first made its way into a Uniontown, Pennsylvania menu for $0.45. It’s one of the most well-known sandwiches in fast food history and hasn’t lost its relevance or taste since its debut over fifty years ago. The recipe has even stayed the same — two 100% all-beef patties, one slice of cheese, pickles, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, Mac sauce, and a sesame seed bun with an extra slice between the two patties. Though the Big Mac has proved to be delectable, former McDonald’s chef Haracz explained to TikTok how to order the more “superior” Big Mac while visiting the popular chain food eatery. Haracz began his video by saying, “Don’t order a Big Mac, you should be ordering this every time.” He then proceeded to break down how to finesse a cheaper style of the sandwich for about $2 less than what the Big Mac sells for. Haracz then said to order what’s called a “McDouble like a Mac,” which is exactly like a Big Mac, just easier on the pockets. To order the Big Mac for a fairer price, Haracz showed a video of a McDonald’s chef assembling the “McDouble like a Mac.” In the video, it showed all of the Big Mac fixings like cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped onion, and Mac sauce with two whole beef patties. The only difference is that the altered burger does not have a middle bun slice. Haracz also urged customers to go to a different McDonald’s if the one they were at wasn’t willing to make the burger to their liking. Customers were quick to take to his comments section to share their own McDonald’s hacks, saying, “Go to the window, use the app code to place an order. It will be saved in the app and you can reorder anytime. Thank me later!!” While another shared their McDonald’s go-to, saying, “I order a McDouble with only Mac sauce. We call it a ghetto Mac. Been doing this for over 15 years.” Another viewer explained their experience with ordering a “McDouble like a Mac,” saying, “Except now it costs $0.25 per item to add them to the sandwich — so it ends up costing the same.” Though Haracz no longer works at McDonald’s, fans can catch up with everything McDonald’s and Big Mac related on Haracz’s TikTok where he shares recipes and hacks to ensure you’re always fulfilling your ‘I’m lovin’ it’ cravings.

Former McDonald’s chef explains why they don’t sell highly-requested menu item – Dexerto
Former McDonald’s chef explains why they don’t sell highly-requested menu item TikTok: chefmikeharacz/UnsplashA former McDonald’s chef has revealed why they don’t offer one of the most highly-requested side items on their menus – onion rings. It’s hard these days to load up any social media platform and not come across something food-related inside a scroll or two. That’s the same for TikTok too. Users are absolutely obsessed with both incredibly fancy meals, and those that look a little worrisome as well. There are a whole host of chefs looking to do things on the cheap and provide recipe hacks. Naturally, fast food has its place as well. TikTokers love sharing secret items and menus, especially if they’ve managed to work somewhere like McDonald’s or Burger King. Ex-McDonald’s chef explains why they won’t sell onion rings That’s the whole point of TikToker Mike Haracz’s videos as he, a former corporate chef at McDonald’s, has continued to share stories about how they put menus together, how you can get secret items, and much more. Now, in one of his newest videos, he’s answered the question of why McDonald’s doesn’t offer onion rings – despite how highly requested they are. “It would be a little special thing. Think of how many less would order fries and would order onion rings instead,” Chef Mike said, noting it would only ever be a limited-time offer. “Right now, because of how many fries they sell, because of how efficient they are and, most importantly, how over the top profitable it is for them – so the markup on fries, it is pretty bad how much they overcharge for their fries compared to their other menu items – they would be selling a much less efficient, much less profitable item for them.” The former McDonald’s reiterated that it is all about efficiency for them and, given how much they make on the fries, items that people want are typically going to take a back seat. He also added that he doesn’t see it happening any time soon, so, don’t get your hopes up.

Former McDonald’s chef explains why they “loved” viral Grimace Shake trend – Dexerto
Former McDonald’s chef explains why they “loved” viral Grimace Shake trend TikTok: chefmikeharacz/McDonaldsA former McDonald’s chef has explained why the company loved the viral Grimace Shake trend, even if it did appear “negative” to many viewers. If you scrolled through TikTok at any point from late June onwards, you will have more than likely come across the Grimace Shake trend. The bizarre trend was spawned following McDonald’s decision to celebrate the 52nd birthday of the popular purple character. In some of the videos, would head to their local McDonald’s store, purchase the drink, and pretend that they’d committed a crime in the name of Grimace. In others, customers played dead, as if they’d been poisoned by Grimace for taking a sip of his drink. Given that many of the videos were filmed like horror movie scenes, some viewers applauded it for being creative. However, others were wary that it could be seen as a negative. Ultimately, it was a success for the fast-food brand. McDonald’s “loved” Grimace Shake trend even if it was “negative” According to former McDonald’s corporate chef Mike Haracz, they actually “loved it” and were “so happy” that it became viral – even if it did have “negative” connotations. “As a proof point, you could go on their social media, look at their social media folks – Marketing, TikTok – go on LinkedIn and there is a variety of McDonald’s people talking about great it was,” Haracz said in his October 10 TikTok. “Every big old brand wants something like that to happen, if its even negative, as long as the brand does not engage or support the negative actions.” Haracz linked to the classic Szechuan Sauce moments in Rick and Morty, which prompted McDonald’s to bring that back a few years ago. At the end of the day, trend prompts sales and puts money in McDonald’s accounts, so they’re going to be pretty happy about that – especially for something that was only a limited run. Though, employees grew tired of the trend pretty fast.

Former Joe Rogan Podcast guest reportedly shot and dismembered a man – Dexerto
Former Joe Rogan Podcast guest reportedly shot and dismembered a man YouTube: PowerfulJREA recent guest on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast has been charged with murder after being caught with a dismembered corpse in a Bronx apartment. A high-profile anti-violence activist and ex-con has been charged with murder, manslaughter, and weapon possession less than one month after appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience. 48-year-old Sheldon Johnson Jr. was taken in for questioning by police after reports of gunfire led officers to a Bronx apartment where the mutilated corpse of Colin Small was found. Small had been dismembered, his decapitated head found with a bullet wound. Several body parts were also discovered inside a freezer, including Small’s severed arms, legs, and a foot. Security footage showed a suspect assumed to be Johnson Jr. wearing various disguises as he entered and exited the building’s elevator. Nonetheless, Johnson Jr. declared his innocence to reporters as he was led from the 44th Precinct stationhouse to appear in Bronx Criminal Court. Prior to his latest arrest, Johnson Jr. was sentenced to 50 years in an upstate prison for a 1997 robbery committed in his early 20s. He was released in May after 25 years and hired as a client advocate for Queens Defender. Appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast in an episode titled “Sentenced to 50 Years Sheldon Johnson Decided to Turn His Life Around,” Johnson Jr. discussed his criminal past and moving forward. His lawyer also appeared on the episode, dubbing Johnson Jr. a “miracle” and claiming he had been unfairly sentenced for the robbery. Still available on YouTube, viewers pointed out how the episode failed to age well with Johnson Jr. arrested again for a much more serious crime this time. “25 years locked up. Shouldn’t have been let out in the first place. I saw [an] article that stated it stemmed from a feud from his time in prison,” one person wrote, claiming Johnson Jr. “hasn’t changed one bit.” “It’s a huge blow for criminal justice reform because folks will say he seemed fine and improved. Yet for this to happen how can we trust others,” another lamented. “Sad day for future people trying to better themselves because of this person’s actions assuming he’s convicted.”

Former McDonald’s chef explains why their ketchup tastes so different from Heinz – Dexerto
Former McDonald’s chef explains why their ketchup tastes so different from Heinz TikTok: chefmikeharacz/PixabayA former McDonald’s chef took TikTok to reveal why their ketchup tastes different than Heinz, sparking a debate among viewers. TikToker and chef Mike Haracz wanted to give a little insight into why McKetchup and Heinz may taste different, following speculations that McDonald’s adds honey to their condiment to make it sweeter. In his 49-second video, he added a snippet from another content creator, who believes that the fast food chain’s ketchup “hits so much different” than Heinz’s ketchup. The ex-McDonald’s chef responded to this claim, explaining that the two ketchup recipes are “almost identical” based on the ingredients stated on their respective websites. “If you go on the McDonald’s website and look under their burgers and look at the ingredients statement of the ketchup that is on their burgers and compare that Heinz ketchup, it is almost identical,” he said. “However, Heinz looks like it has some added ingredients to it making it maybe more flavorful. I don’t know, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s better or not,” he added. Mike’s video sparked a debate among TikTok users, with many agreeing that McDonald’s condiment has a ‘better’ taste. “McDonald’s ketchup is sweeter. I said what I said,” one person commented. “McDonald’s Ketchup is better after it sits in those tubs for more than a week, and gets a special sorta zing,” another added. “McDonald’s used Heinz at one time. We all know the story about that. McDonald’s ketchup tastes better than Heinz,” a third added. Other commenters defended the Heinz Tomato Ketchup. “McD used to use it in the US but somewhere they stopped. UK ones last time I was there still use the superior Heinz,” one said. “Heinz ketchup tastes better. McDonald’s doesn’t use Heinz because of Burger King,” another shared. This is the latest McDonald’s video to divide opinions on TikTok, after an employee went viral explaining why she ignores drive-thru customers.

Former Hype House members make new ‘Revenge House’ amid lawsuit drama – Dexerto
Former Hype House members make new ‘Revenge House’ amid lawsuit drama rvngehouse.comFormer members of the TikTok-famous ‘Hype House’ have banded together to make a new group called ‘Revenge House’ amid news that HH is embroiled in a lawsuit. The Hype House was one of the most famous content houses on social media at one point — but time has withered the former TikTok giant into a shadow of its former self. Known for birthing stars like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae, the Hype House descended into chaos after its beef with the Sway House during Charli’s breakup from Lil Huddy in 2020 (not to mention a lawsuit from former member Daisy Keech). Since then, many of its starring members have flown the coop, prompting founder Thomas Petrou to fill its ranks with new influencers. For a while, all was quiet as Hype House aimed to continue to make content — but the group came under fire after news broke that they are being sued by a landlord for destruction of property in mid-January. The landlord alleged that certain Hype House members, including Chase Hudson, Thomas Petrou, Mia Hayward, Calvin Goldby, Patrick Huston, and Nicholas Austin, caused $300,000 in damages and even left the residence five months before their lease ended back in 2021. Now, there’s even more drama for Hype House after a few former members not named in the lawsuit got together to create a new content house to directly compete with HH. Dubbed the ‘Revenge House,‘ this new group has two homes in Texas — one in Dallas and another in Houston. Who is in Revenge House? Thus far, the Revenge House members are as follows: Dallas Revenge House Members Ace Akers – Bryce Parker – Kristian Ramey – Jarrett Chambers – Houston Revenge House Members Bianca Rowinski – James McCartney – Kyle Colver (coming soon) – Jake Donlan – Noony – James Serbov (coming soon) – Jackson Donsky – The official Revenge House website even has an advertisement for influencers looking to join the group, but requirements to take part are still publicly unknown. For now, little information is available about the ‘Revenge House,’ and other Hype House alums have yet to speak out on the subject at the time of writing – but we’ll keep you updated on all the drama right here at Dexerto.

Former Instacart worker rips apart “survival of the fittest” work environment – Dexerto
Former Instacart worker rips apart “survival of the fittest” work environment TikTok: robbiesmoonmusicA former Instacart shopper ripped into how horrible it was working for the app for a year. Working for food delivery services has many perks. For example, you can choose your hours, you’re in the comfort of your own vehicle, and your favorite music gets to play all day while driving. However, for Robbie, who is a former Instacart shopper, the work environment wasn’t so suitable for his liking. Since leaving the job, Robbie has taken to TikTok to rattle off all the reasons why working as an Instacart shopper isn’t worth the hassle. Former Instacart worker put 30,000 miles on his car in one year Robbie worked for Instacart for a year. Although he’s no longer employed there, he recently shared insight into what it was like working for the app. In his viral TikTok video explaining the many reasons he wouldn’t advise anyone to work for the app, he began saying, “As someone who did Instacart as his full-time job for a whole f*cking year a couple years back, my mental health got so bad doing Instacart as a full-time job, that I have never been lower in my entire life.” He said that, sure, it’s possible to make $250 a day, but at what cost? He revealed that he put over $30,000 miles on his car, which was also stolen during a delivery. Not only that, but you’d have to work 8-10 hours a day to make over $200 in tips. He then dug into how the app offers no benefits or “protection” for employees, as one customer allegedly lied to customer support about Robbie not delivering their order when he insisted he did. His Instacart app was then deleted and he lost the ability to work under their services. Robbie explained how someone also “hacked” his Instacart account and stole all his funds, leaving him with nothing. He added that customer support didn’t do a thing about the situation. Robbie continued to say that working for Instacart was too competitive. Also, other employees could steal your order quicker than you were able to accept it as yours. Since leaving the job, Robbie has kept busy by sharing comical and relatable bits on TikTok, as he has over 224K followers. Though his time with Instacart is long over, he did mention that he felt it was his “civil duty” to advise people to not work for the app, as he noted that the working conditions were like the “survival of the fittest.”

Former Hololive star Uruha Rushia re-debuts under Mikeneko alias – Dexerto
Former Hololive star Uruha Rushia re-debuts under Mikeneko alias YouTube: MikenekoFormer Hololive star Uruha Rushia has officially re-debuted on YouTube under her previous alias, Mikeneko. Rushia was dismissed from Hololive earlier in 2022 after breaching her contract with the star VTuber agency. Uruha Rushia made headlines in February 2022 after the Hololive star had her contract with the agency suddenly terminated following a reported breach. Cover Corp claimed the star, who had more than 1.5 million YouTube subscribers at the time, had “been distributing false information to third parties and…leaking information, including communications regarding business matters.” It came after the star reportedly shared private information to clear her name regarding a relationship scandal with popular utaite ‘Mafumafu’. The company stated her actions caused “reputational damage”, and she was removed as a result. The news not only shook the VTuber community, but her fellow Hololive idols like genmates Usada Pekora and Houshou Marine, and English talent Mori Calliope. Two months on though, Rushia is opening up more to the public sphere by re-debuting as a VTuber under her old alias Mikeneko. While she had done the occasional stream since, the April 24 broadcast was her first with her new 2D model. Mikeneko’s re-debut peaked at nearly 70,000 concurrent viewers during the April 24 stream. The two-hour recording has also been watched more than 1 million times within two days. The star did not talk much about her dismissal on broadcast, instead opting to talk to fans about her new model which is a return to the pink-hair catgirl form she once assumed. She later hopped onto Splatoon to play some games on stream in a different unlisted stream. Mikeneko has managed to reclaim at least half of her fanbase since leaving Hololive. She currently sits at 811,000 YouTube subscribers and 442,000 Twitter followers — compared to 1.6 million and 1.1 million respectively while she was Uruha Rushia. It comes after another controversy involving Mikeneko went around at the start of April, with impersonators in Genshin Impact claiming they were the streamer going around in co-op and verbally abusing other players. The star asked others to report the copycats if they saw them join their world.

Former Hype House member Darianka apologizes after bullying scandal – Dexerto
Former Hype House member Darianka apologizes after bullying scandal Instagram: Darianka SanchezDisgraced TikTokker Darianka Sanchez has issued an apology on her Instagram story after she was called out for bullying online. Darianka is a Costa Rican model who gained over one million followers on TikTok for lip-syncing and dancing. It was confirmed she had joined the Hype House in the first week of June. Soon after Darianka moved into the TikTok collab house, a video of former Dance Moms star Kenzie Ziegler resurfaced on Instagram from 2015. She spoke about being bullied and hacked by Darianka, linking her to an incident in which Kenzie and Maddie Ziegler’s iCloud accounts were compromised. Several other accusations followed, accusing Darianka of bullying, manipulation, cheating, and even crime. Screenshots posted by Instagram ‘tea’ accounts alleged that Darianka had been arrested. Within less than a week, fans began to speculate that she had been kicked out of the Hype House as quickly as she had moved in, after she was no longer appearing in pictures or videos from other members. A comment on the Hype House’s TikTok account later confirmed that the rumors were true. Darianka initially posted to her story in the aftermath stating that she was sorry, that she is not the same person anymore and that she has room still to ‘grow.’ But now she has posted to her Instagram story issuing an extended and more formal apology. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBV1cednoNw/?utm_source=ig_embed She said: “I’m not the same person that I was 4/5/6 years ago. I know I’ve made mistakes in the past but I have grown and matured from them since then. “I’ve been accused of some pretty serious and illegal things and I just want to say you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the internet. I have never been arrested and I do not have a criminal background. There have been DMs and text messages going around that are just not real and it’s very easy to fake and manipulate those things. “Something that’s really important for me to address is there is a picture of me going around from when I was 14 years old with a mud mask on and I have been accused of blackface. This was never my intention, it was just a face mask but I’m sorry if it offended anybody. “…Words do hurt, and it’s never okay to DM and tell them to kill themselves. It’s never okay to leak someone’s phone number or home address. Those things are considered cyberbullying and I want to use my platform to advocate against cyberbullying. “I hope you guys can see that I’m not the same person I was a long time ago and that I’m continuing to grow as a person. Darianka has since been replaced in the Hype House by her close friend Olivia Ponton.

Former G4 host Adam Sessler sparks controversy after mocking gamers – Dexerto
Former G4 host Adam Sessler sparks controversy after mocking gamers Former G4 host Adam Sessler is sparked debate on Twitter after mocking “gamers” in a series of posts. Adam Sessler has been known and respected in the gaming sphere for his 16 years of career in journalism and for hosting a beloved games-oriented TV program Xplay. Not that long ago, gaming enthusiasts around the world were excited for his possible return alongside other members of G4. But, more recently, he has been known around Twitter circles for his comments about gamers. It seems to have started with Adam’s January 6 tweet, which reads: “I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this in the past few days but gamers seem to be even less intelligible than normal this year.” Since that tweet Adam has made over 100 more tweets over the span of 5 days, most of them poking fun at gamers or replying with comments to people who engaged with him over Twitter. Gamers react to Adam Sessler’s comments Sessler’s posts has generated significant chatter. Some older gamers who remember Adam Sessler from his G4 days have said they find it saddening to see him criticizing gamers so harshly. Content creator Johnathan Irwin said: “Adam Sessler is probably the most miserable s**thead in the gaming world honestly. What’s sad is he used to be one of the happiest. He has been a huge contributor to the strides in gaming journalism, as well as its rapid decline. Maybe that’s why he’s so angry with the world.” The debate has been divisive though, with others siding with Adam, pointing out that his tweets were somewhat over the top: “These are too good to be true. It’s like every gamer stereotype combined. I didn’t think people like this existed.”

Former Disney star asks fans to stop sending Venmo requests Alyson Stoner/InstagramFormer Disney star Alyson Stoner has asked fans to stop sending Venmo requests as they plead with people to respect their privacy.

They went on to name examples from their list of requests, which included payments for car payments, rent, and people just shooting their shots in the hopes of getting money. The amounts varied from $10 to thousands of dollars per request. “You’re my hero and I’m broke,” one request said while another said they were losing their apartment after not being able to find a job. “This is my privacy. Is that not weird to you?” Alyson said. “Please don’t get any ideas. Please.” Alyson went on to say that if they were to ignore the requests and not pay anything, they would be sent follow-up messages saying they “clearly don’t care about people” and that they’ll no longer support them.

Another argued: “This is just a great example of why Venmo is so odd to me, why is American banking treated like social media?? Bank details should be more private.”

Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson arrested for domestic battery – Dexerto
Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson arrested for domestic battery Skai Jackson/InstagramFormer Disney star Skai Jackson was arrested in Hollywood, California for domestic battery following an alleged fight with her boyfriend. Jackson, 22, was taken into custody on August 9 at Universal Citywalk in Hollywood, California after security guards spotted her in an altercation, TMZ reported. Security reportedly detained the couple and called the police after seeing Jackson shove her boyfriend, whose identity is not clear. Sources told TMZ that the couple denied they physically fought, and claimed they were engaged and expecting a baby together. Deputies say they reviewed video footage and saw she pushed him. According to reports, police arrested Jackson and her partner after being shown footage of the alleged altercation. Jackson was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery and was cited before being released hours later. Charges were not immediately brought against the former child star, and the incident is under investigation by the LA County District Attorney’s Office. It is unclear who Jackson’s partner is, and the actress is known to be private about her love life and has not shared images of him on her social media pages. This is not Jackson’s first brush with the law. The actress previously filed a restraining order against rapper Bhad Bhabie, aka Danielle Bregoli, after threats against her life in 2020. The actress, whose new film The Man in the White Van is out in October, filed the restraining order against the then 16-year-old Bregoli in Los Angeles stating at the time she was afraid to leave her home after the rapper had made direct threats towards her.

Former Chipotle worker reveals you’re being ‘skimped’: “They’re doing it on purpose” – Dexerto
Former Chipotle worker reveals you’re being ‘skimped’: “They’re doing it on purpose” TikTok: jennyg6612A former Chipotle worker has slammed the popular fast food chain, claiming they encourage workers to “skimp” customers on purpose. Chipotle has recently found itself in hot water after a series of accusations claiming the fast food chain is ripping customers off with stingy portions. Just recently, a woman took to TikTok after she received a “mirco burrito”, with commenters mistaking the tiny Mexican wrap as a potato. Now, a former Chipotle employee has dished the tea, claiming higher-ups would encourage workers to “skimp” customers as much as possible. Jennifer, who goes by ‘jennyg6612’ on TikTok, took to the social media platform to reveal some of the behind-the-scenes secrets from her time as an employee. “If you feel like they’re skimping you, it’s because they are and they’re doing it on purpose,” she said. “I used to work there for two years and the managers literally tell you to skimp people and to give them as little as possible.” According to Jennifer, it is common for workers to put a “small amount of stuff” just to test whether customers will speak out against the amount; “The goal is to make the most profit and have the least amount of loss.” Jennifer even claims workers will be “reprimanded” if they are not careful to save the restaurant on costs. And made-to-go orders are in particular the most commonly skimped on as workers can make them without any customer’s watchful eyes. “Yeah, Chipotle is in its flop era. I went this week and got half a bowl for the same price as a full one. Used to have leftovers,” one commenter wrote. A second shared a similar sentiment, “Jokes on them. I’ve stopped going altogether.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Former CoD pro Censor “glad” he prioritized gaming over getting laid – Dexerto
Former CoD pro Censor “glad” he prioritized gaming over getting laid Censor, YouTube / ShutterstockDoug ‘Censor’ Martin made waves after breaking up with his girlfriend to focus on competitive Call of Duty in 2018 – and he’s following up the split with a major statement on the matter. Censor retweeted an article from UK news site The Daily Star on April 3, which claimed that young men are having less sex in order to focus on gaming. “My parents were concerned because I didn’t kiss a girl throughout high school,” Censor said of the article. “To me, it was more important to be #1 in the world in CoD, that opportunity wouldn’t always be there. Glad I made that decision.” My parents were concerned because I didn’t kiss a girl throughout high school.

Glad I made that decision. https://t.co/zj2EI0QVh6 — FaZe Censor (@Censor) April 2, 2019 He wasn’t finished there; he followed up his story with a message to other aspiring pros, advising they focus on their dreams instead of worrying about their love life. “Moral of the story: make your career your priority and let everything else fall into place,” he continued. “It will work itself out, and you’ll definitely be pleased with the outcome.” Moral of the story: make your career your priority and let everything else fall into place.

I believe if you want something you have to give it everything you have. I didn’t see any point in even flirting with the idea of speaking to a girl because it would distract me from my goal. — FaZe Censor (@Censor) April 2, 2019 The Star’s article contained a statement from San Diego State University psychology professor Jean Twenge, who claimed that men under 30 could be abstaining from sex due to “streaming video, social media, console games.” “[There are] more things to do at 10 o’clock at night than there were 20 years ago,” Twenge said of the development. https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2015-12/call-of-duty-world-league-everything-you-need-to-knowShe likewise noted a potential cause for this decrease in sex could be that many millennials don’t have a live-in partner. The Star included data from The Washington Post that showed 28% of young men have abstained for a year. Censor infamously broke things off with his girlfriend, Mexican weathercaster and model Yanet Garcia, in summer of 2018 to focus on Call of Duty; however, Censor later put off competitive gaming in favor of content creation, now uploading videos to YouTube and streaming on Twitch.

Former boxing world champion wants to “beat up” Jake Paul after coming out of retirement – Dexerto
Former boxing world champion wants to “beat up” Jake Paul after coming out of retirement Instagram/jakepaulFormer unified super-lightweight champion Amir Khan is ready to step out of retirement to take on Jake Paul for the influencer’s next boxing match. Jake Paul has made a big name for himself in the influencer boxing scene, having bested numerous UFC legends such as Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, but now, a former boxing icon wants his shot at The Problem Child. In Paul’s short career so far, he’s only suffered one loss, that coming via split decision against Tommy Fury – who also happens to be the only true-blue boxer he’s battled in the ring. That could change, though, if Amir Khan has his way. Speaking on Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda, Khan revealed he would “love” to come out of retirement to “beat up” Jake Paul, despite hanging up his gloves last year after being KO’d by Kell Brook. Amir Khan would “love” to fight Jake Paul in boxing return According to the former world champion, Jake Paul isn’t exactly on his good side, claiming the influencer “gets on his nerves.” “I think the way he conducts himself the way he acts and he’s just full of himself as well, and he thinks he can fight. He’s only been boxing for like a year, so yeah, I’d love to fight him,” he said. “He’s been very lucky though. He’s a little bit heavier than me, but I don’t mind putting the pounds on just to beat him up.” If the two were to meet in the ring, Paul would have a sizable height advantage and reach advantage, but that doesn’t seem to faze the former boxing star. So far, there’s no word on who Jake Paul will be fighting next, but a bout with KSI could be in the cards depending on the outcome of the British rapper’s match against Tommy Fury. UFC legend Luke Rockhold is also eager to battle Jake and is guaranteeing victory, saying he’d put his entire paycheck on the line. In any case, there’s certainly no shortage of opponents for The Problem Child.

Former Call of Duty devs at Infinity Ward start their own studio and tease new game – Dexerto
Former Call of Duty devs at Infinity Ward start their own studio and tease new game A group of ex-Infinity Ward developers, who completed work on Call of Duty titles including Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare, have started a new studio and are working on a brand new game. Kent Gambill, former engineer with Infinity Ward, will be the head of new Indie Studio ‘Winterborn’, joined by artist and designer Moudy Hamo, who also worked on various CoD titles. The Winterborn studio is already working a new game – although it doesn’t sound like it will be taking much inspiration from the team’s past experience with Call of Duty, or first-person shooters generally. Instead, the team is in development of a new ‘tactical RPG’ title, something which Gambill has had in mind for 12 years: “It’s been a dream of mine to make the kind of game I grew up on and I love tactical RPGs.” They’re not the first Infinity Ward developers to split away from the studio that created classics such as Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2, and try to forge their own path. Former lead developers at Infinity Ward, Vince Zampella and Jason West famously left the famed studio after the release of Modern Warfare 2 due to a legal dispute with Activision, and founded Respawn Entertainment. Respawn went on to release the Titanfall series, and announced at E3 2018 that they were working on the next EA Star Wars game, ‘Jedi: Fallen Order’. Some of the other devs who left Infinity Ward along with Zampella and West have now returned to the studio, and Call of Duty fans are excited at the prospect of Modern Warfare 4 potentially releasing in late 2019, with some of the original crew back in charge of the ship. 2016’s Infinite Warfare, the last CoD title released by the studio, was met with a negative reception from fans who felt it was too futuristic in its setting – netting the reveal video millions of dislikes. Fans are cautiously optimistic for Infinity Ward’s 2019 offering however. H/T: GIBiz

Something tells us MrBeast might make an appearance, but we’ll just have to watch and find out.

Forever 21 staff call the cops on TikToker for filming in store – Dexerto
Forever 21 staff call the cops on TikToker for filming in store TIKTOK: JonTheDonA TikToker went viral for sharing his interaction with Forever 21 employees, after they called the cops on him and his friends for filming in the store. In a viral video, Jonathan Davis was told by a Forever 21 employee that if he’s “not gonna buy anything and [he’s] recording will [he] please leave the store.” “Actually I’m about to buy something and relax,” Jonathan said to the employee, as he was holding an item from the store. “If we made anybody feel uncomfortable, they did not let us know that.” The camera panned to show a police officer telling the TikToker that the workers didn’t want him in the store. Jonathan then spoke to a Forever 21 employee to inform her that he’s filming himself, because he “makes TikToks and [has] a social media platform.” She claimed that recording isn’t allowed in Forever 21 stores, and he asked if that policy was posted anywhere. “Will you lower your voice please? I’m not yelling at you” the employee told Jonathan, who told her he’s not yelling at anybody. She then said that he’s “coming at” her. “No ma’am. That’s why we don’t stop the cameras,” the TikToker said, looking at the camera still recording him. As Jonathan left the store in disbelief, he showed that another police officer and a police dog were waiting outside. “I can’t believe this happened to me,” he captioned his video, which amassed 1.9 million views. “Forever 21 we gotta do better.” In the comments, many TikTok users praised Jonathan for how he handled the situation. “You handled this so respectfully, I’m proud of you. This is micro-aggression and it’s unacceptable. Sorry you had to experience this,” one user wrote. “I wouldn’t have bought anything from anyone treating me that way. Y’all handled it well,” another added. “Discrimination at its finest. He was so respectful,” a third said. Others encouraged him to file claims against the employees and the store, saying there’s no store policy restricting customers from recording.

Former 100 Thieves creator Classify explains how he lost MrBeast’s $500,000 challenge – Dexerto
Former 100 Thieves creator Classify explains how he lost MrBeast’s $500,000 challenge YouTube: Classify / MrBeastFormer 100 Thieves creator Classify took part in MrBeast’s $500,000 game of tag, and although he came so far and made the top 5, he showed fans how he ultimately lost the challenge. Classify might have parted ways with 100 Thieves and The Mob, but he’s been working hard to build his own brand ever since. His YouTube Channel has almost hit 50,000 subscribers, and the numbers are trending upwards. In August 2021, he took part in MrBeast’s circle challenge for a chance to win $500,000. After making it to the top 10, he qualified for a much harder challenge — a $500,000 game of tag at the Bristol Motor Speedway. He almost made it to the end but fell short of the mark — losing to a Minecraft YouTuber, of all things. After a ten-second countdown, the contestants scattered across the arena. Classify did a “recon” of the area. But when MrBeast had his crew join in the manhunt, the chase was on. He even flipped a golf cart to slow them down. It took several hours, but eventually, MrBeast and his crew tagged five people. Classify officially made it to the top five. So, to make things harder for the remaining contestants, MrBeast limited the play area to the race track. Classify managed to elude them for a while. But eventually, he got tagged by Minecraft YouTuber Sapnap. “[I] pushed [my] mental state to limits it’s never reached before, all to get tagged by a Minecraft YouTuber,” he said. Classify admitted that while he didn’t win the “grand prize,” he managed to beat his expectations and made it further than he thought he would. “The competition was fierce, and we’d been running for over 24 hours to get here. And as Andy got tagged and Lincoln came out celebrating to just have won $500,000, I couldn’t help but smile and just appreciate the moment.”

Footage shows Logan Paul’s LA mansion was broken into again – Dexerto
Footage shows Logan Paul’s LA mansion was broken into again YouTube: Logan PaulAlthough Logan Paul is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators, being internet famous is no cakewalk, as his home has seemingly become the subject of yet another break-in. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] Logan Paul is famous across the social media space for his wild, high-energy vlogs and successful podcast, which both follow his days as a former Vine star before the platform went downhill. Paul has since settled down somewhat considerably in terms of his content — but his status as an internet sensation is drawing less-than-favorable types to his personal address. On October 12, news broke that Paul’s home may have been broken into, as shown by smartphone footage shared by Drama Alert. The footage shows residents speaking to police, claiming that someone had jumped over the locked gate of the Encino mansion. (Topic begins at 1:13) During his talk with law enforcement, the resident claimed that he’d been able to get the trespasser out of the home “very nicely,” noting that he “didn’t seem too crazy,” and clarified that no one had been expecting the person at all when asked if he may have been living there. While Paul has yet to confirm the break-in via his social media accounts, this would be far from the first time someone has shown up at his home uninvited; Logan performed a citizen’s arrest in 2018 after a stranger broke into his house and fell asleep on his sofa. That’s not all; Paul even had to issue a public statement in June 2019, after a fan showed up at his house two days in a row. Reports from TMZ state that the fan tried to gain entry to the house on both occasions, ringing the front doorbell and attempting to hop the fence before being scared off by Logan and his housemates. This latest news comes mere days after vlogging star David Dobrik experienced a frightening encounter with a mentally disturbed fan, who stalked his home for several days and even keyed his assistant’s new car before he called law enforcement. In this day and age of social media, privacy is becoming an ever-increasing issue as more and more celebrities find themselves faced with invasive fans and invasions of their personal space and property.

Football YouTuber snaps arm during Newcastle vs Arsenal watch party – Dexerto
Football YouTuber snaps arm during Newcastle vs Arsenal watch party YouTuber Tom Garratt snapped his arm while arm wrestling with Theo Baker during a watch-along of the Newcastle vs Arsenal game. The Pitchside podcast, hosted by YouTubers Reev, Theo Baker, and Tom Garratt, is one of the most popular podcasts in the world — and in their own words, it’s filled with outrageous takes, opinions, and player insights. However, their most recent broadcast took a bit of a different turn, ending in an absolute disaster while hosting a watch party for the Newcastle vs. Arsenal Premier League match. In a now-deleted May 7 live stream, just a couple of minutes before the match kicked off, co-hosts Theo and Tom decided to have an arm wrestling match. Nevertheless, it ended in disaster, as Theo snapped Tom’s arm back in the wrong way — where an audible snap could be heard. “Oh f**k,” Tom immediately said, with a look of complete shock on his face while looking at his arm. It’s fair to say the rest of the co-hosts and guests were also horrified, with them heard repeating “oh f**k” as they scrambled to help. Afterward, guests of the show ChrisMD took to Twitter to assure fans that Tom is okay and is in the hospital awaiting treatment. “Quite an achievement to make the worst sound ever heard on Pitch Side with Theo’s football opinions,” he joked. “Tom is okay, in A&E now.” Following an X-ray, Theo posted a tweet revealing that the YouTuber broke his humerus — the upper part of his arm connecting his elbow to shoulder. “Hi guys, Tom’s had his X-ray and has broken his humerus,” Theo tweeted. “He says anything for the content.” Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to be too serious of an injury, although it certainly looked a bit painful.

For You Page broken? TikTok glitches again as users complain about ‘broken fyp’ – Dexerto
For You Page broken? TikTok glitches again as users complain about ‘broken fyp’ TikTokTikTok users reported a FYP (For You Page) ‘glitch’ on July 28. According to users, they are only being shown random viral videos in place of content they’d usually consume. Several users have said they’re “tired” of seeing “straight TikTokers” and are urging the app to “fix it.” TikTok has been subject to a number of bugs and glitches throughout 2021. Users complained about TikTok resetting their follower counts on July 6. Back in January, fans also reported seeing pixelated videos which caused the app to crash. It seems as if the current glitch started causing problems on July 26, with users still experiencing issues. Cultivating a ‘for you’ page with content tailored to viewers’ interests can take a long time, so fans are upset with the new ‘factory settings’ bug. What is the FYP glitch? Thanks to the elusive algorithm, fans would usually see videos similar to those they’ve previously enjoyed on their FYP. If you’re into TikTok makeup tutorials, chances are you’d probably see more of them on the page. Since July 26, viewers have commented that they’re seeing content far removed from their usual rotation. One user complained that they’re no longer seeing “lesbians and tarot readers,” just “straight men and couples.” One user complained, “my TikTok is broken. It’s only showing viral videos and repeating videos I’ve already seen.” My tik tok is broken. It’s only showing viral videos and repeating videos I’ve already seen and liked on my fyp. — GurⓋeen🍉 (@itsyagurv) July 28, 2021 Another disgruntled user tweeted, “I’m seeing TikTok’s I’ve already liked and it put me on straight TikTok.” my tiktok fyp is fucking broken. i’m seeing tiktoks i’ve already liked and it put me on straight tiktok. wtf 😭 — ☻ ౨ৎ (@fearofkth) July 28, 2021 One viewer replied to TikTok’s official Twitter account, stating “aye TikTok my fyp [is] broken I keep getting old videos.” TikTok hasn’t yet responded on any of their official channels. Fans are remaining patient while awaiting further advice. If the other glitches are anything to go by, viewers hope the issue will only be temporary.

Footage of Machine Gun Kelly getting booed at Fall Out Boy concert may be faked – Dexerto
Footage of Machine Gun Kelly getting booed at Fall Out Boy concert may be faked Aaron Rathy, Billboard / Kevin Mazur, WireImageThe Eminem vs MGK beef took a step further at a Fall out Boy concert on September 15, during which Kelly posted an Instagram photo flipping off the camera with the crowd behind him. In the photo, Kelly wore a shirt featuring the logo from Eminem’s diss track Killshot, which was a clapback to Kelly’s response to Eminem from a previous track, Rap Devil. While the crowd flipped off the camera behind him, it appears that they weren’t totally aware of the situation. Before posing for the photo, MGK was seen wearing a jacket, which he removed just before the picture was taken. video taken during the debacle revealed that fans weren’t pleased with this turn of events, and booed him throughout his guest performance of Rap Devil. While there were a few cheers mixed in with the negativity, it appears that the crowd didn’t approve of his publicity stunt. However, reports have since surfaced that the entire video could have been faked. Another video recorded during the concert at the same instance tells a different story, with no boos to be heard. DJ Akademiks shared what appears to be the ‘original’ footage from the event, which features no overwhelming crowd noise at all. According to the DJ’s instagram video, ‘delusional’ Eminem fans doctored the previous footage, then sent it out to various media outlets and posted it to social media in order to smear MGK in light of his beef with Eminem. Whether the footage is truly faked or not remains to be seen – but it certainly adds more fuel to the fire between the two artists.

Footage released of Vitaly and Bradley Martyn fight at KSI vs Logan Paul 2 – Dexerto
Footage released of Vitaly and Bradley Martyn fight at KSI vs Logan Paul 2 YouTubers Vitaly Zdorovetskiy and Bradley Martyn got into a heated exchange that saw punches thrown during a confrontation at the November 9’s KSI vs Logan Paul boxing match. The action inside the STAPLES Centre came thick and fast, with Paul and JJ ‘KSI” Olatunji wailing on each other for six rounds, before the Brit was announced as the winner via split decision from the judges. The action wasn’t just confined to the ring however, with Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem uploading footage to Twitter which shows YouTube prankster Vitaly and fitness guru Bradley Martyn trade blows in the crowd. In the footage, which appears to be recorded on a cell phone, Vitaly and Martyn can be seen exchanging words, with the Russian stepping forward, getting into the American’s face, before shoving him with both hands around the fitness expert’s throat. Martyn immediately responded, throwing a right hand of his own which forced Vitaly, who has over 10 million subscribers on YouTube, to cover up from an onslaught of punches. The pair were eventually separated, with Vitaly appearing to immediately calm down after facing off with Martyn, with no more shots thrown by either man. Damn @Vitalyzdtv vs @bradleymartyn last night. This is 100% real! pic.twitter.com/idDZJ7kaUK — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) November 11, 2019 With KSI vs Logan Paul touted as the biggest event in YouTube history, it’s no surprise that a number of popular influencers and content creators were in attendance, with Bryan ‘RiceGum’ Le and Yousef ‘FaZe Apex’ Abdelfatta both standing in camera shot stunned by the events. Even 24 hours later, FaZe Apex was still stunned by what happened, replying to an image showing his shock by saying he “couldn’t believe (his) eyes” when the pair started exchanging blows. Isiah ‘FaZe Sensei’ Ocasio also weighed in on the scuffle, joking that the clip was where the phrase “knocking sense into someone” comes from. This is where : “knocking sense into someone” comes from :joyful::person_facepalming::skin-tone-4:♂️ — Isiah Ocasio (@FaZe_Sensei) November 11, 2019 What started this scuffle remains unknown, but it appears that there were words exchanged between the pair before the incident took place. Neither man has officially commented on the fight, although both have been active on social media since, with Martyn simply tweeting out “Woah,” while Vitaly challenged KSI and Logan Paul to a boxing match with a picture of him standing inside a ring. Roids or No Roids I am ready @LoganPaul @KSIOlajidebt pic.twitter.com/UhkAn47U4W— Vitaly Zdorovetskiy (@Vitalyzdtv) November 10, 2019 Whether the 27-year-old Russian will actually step inside the ring to compete remains to be seen, but with KSI seemingly uninterested in a rematch with Logan Paul, he could be tempted into a fight with the prankster. Of course, his feud with Bradley Martyn may not be over either, and could become YouTube’s next major boxing rivalry.

Footage emerges of Bryce Hall in restaurant brawl over a vape – Dexerto
Footage emerges of Bryce Hall in restaurant brawl over a vape Instagram: brycehallFootage has emerged online of TikTok star Bryce Hall involved in yet another restaurant brawl, just weeks after going viral for a street fight in West Hollywood. [jwplayer MvEjv9It] UPDATE on October 21 at 2:55 PM After video footage of the incident went viral online, Bryce Hall has since given his side of the story to Buzzfeed, claiming that the altercation began after restaurant employees would not return his credit card upon being asked to leave. Hall claimed he asked for his card back “ten times.” After attempting to retrieve the card, Hall alleged that the manager had purportedly “grabbed” him, which led to an altercation between the manager and one of Hall’s friends who initially attempted to de-escalate the situation. “The manager then proceeded to tackle my friend to the ground and that’s when I got on top of him and put him in a head lock in an attempt to get him to stop fighting,” Hall told Buzzfeed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWyY8Yh8vh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link UPDATE on October 21 at 1:15 PM Insider reports the Los Angeles Police Department are now involved after an altercation ensued between a restaurant server and Bryce Hall. The LAPD filed a felony battery report, with Hall as ‘Suspect 1’ who “struck” the victim. ‘Suspect 2’ is unknown but was said to have placed the victim in a chokehold. Hall and his friends fled the scene before the LAPD arrived, according to the department. The investigation is ongoing. Original story follows below… On October 4, Bryce released footage of him in a street fight, and his fans and critics alike came together to call out his actions and explain why it wasn’t acceptable. Now, barely two weeks later, Bryce finds himself in yet another brawl, but this time the video was leaked before he could share it himself, which he said he did in the first fight because he didn’t want media outlets “misrepresenting” it if they report it first. Late on October 20, footage came out of Bryce involved in an altercation at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles — and the alleged reason behind it is very bizarre. As TMZ reports, you can see Bryce involved in the scrap, right in the thick of things, and according to them, it all kicked off because of a vape. It’s illegal to vape at restaurants in LA, something Bryce and co. apparently didn’t care to hear when asked to stop, with Bryce allegedly blowing smoke in staff’s face when asked to stop. Then, according to TMZ, things came to a head when Bryce’s card was taken to make his payment after being asked to leave. One source apparently said that Bryce and his friends jumped an employee, with the star himself throwing the first punch, while Bryce refutes those claims and says that a manager grabbed him and tried to drag him away, before kicking him. In the original report, it’s also stated that one of the staff members involved suffered a broken hand, and named Bryce as his attacker in a police report that followed the ordeal. Obviously, there are two sides to this story, but Bryce’s track record and reputation is working against him — and if the restaurant staff decide to press charges, we’re likely to find out the truth one way or another.

Footage of FaZe Banks’ $30,000 trashed Vegas hotel room released – Dexerto
Footage of FaZe Banks’ $30,000 trashed Vegas hotel room released FaZe Clan’s Ricky Banks has been accused of trashing a hotel room in Las Vegas and footage from the scene has been revealed, showing the extent of the damage caused. A report from TMZ stating that the co-owner of one of the world’s most well established esports organizations was being investigated for around $30,000 worth of damage surfaced on October 30. Staff from the luxury Encore At Wynn Las Vegas hotel were forced to call authorities on October 14, after finding the room in a bad state – with holes in the wall, soil all over the floor and furniture smashed up. However, since that initial article, TMZ have gathered video footage from the scene itself, showing the extent of the damage. Huge cracks in the windows, smashed televisions and even broken tables can be seen in the video, posted to Josh Pescatore’s official Twitter account, a reporter who has worked for Drama Alert in the past. The room had previously been described as a “disaster zone” and that assessment doesn’t look far wrong, based on the new evidence. #UPDATE: From @TMZ_Sports, they have exclusive video of what @banks Las Vegas hotel room looked like after $30K damage Even the windows are smashed on what looks like at high floor pic.twitter.com/Lah1tU4S3q — :rotating_light:Mr. Pescatore:rotating_light: (@JoshPescatore) October 31, 2019 Viewers may notice that FaZe Banks is talking in the background of the video. TMZ reports that the YouTuber was “casually” laying there as hotel officials checked the state of the room. As noted in our previous report, Banks is being investigated for a charge that can carry around five years in prison once sentenced, a felony called malicious destruction of property. However, it is understood that hotels are often prepared to drop charges should the full amount covering the damage is paid for. This is a case that is reportedly typical in Las Vegas and a representative of the accused has already confirmed work is being done to resolve the issue. A rep told TMZ: “FaZe Clan and Encore are working together to resolve this matter.”

Food TikToker Flavcity accused of deceiving viewers with products for financial gain – Dexerto
Food TikToker Flavcity accused of deceiving viewers with products for financial gain TikTok: Flavcity, ThePlantSlantFood TikToker Flavcity is currently under fire after accusations that he deceived viewers by recommending products that he is invested in without making it known. Throughout the various communities on TikTok, one of the most popular is the food and health community where many creators recommend healthy foods and recipes to viewers. Among the most popular creators is Bobby Parrish, also known as Flavcity, who has amassed over a million followers with videos of him recommending food at the grocery store. Parrish is currently facing scrutiny, however, after accusations that he deliberately recommended products and companies he has financial ties with, went viral on the platform. Flavcity controversy explained On July 10, 2023, TikToker theplantslant uploaded a video where he claimed a few aspects of Flavcity’s videos that seemed to be contradictory. At the end of the video, he included a clip of Parrish revealing he invested in Kiki Milk, a product he had been recommending to viewers. “I have a new method to find out if something is Bobby approved, find out if he makes money off of it. If he does, then it is. If he doesn’t then it’s probably not,” the TikToker said. “Health Viking” Rob Lapham duetted theplatslants video, adding further context. In the caption, Rob said: “Flavcity is in the spotlight right now with all the stuff surfacing about his contradictory nature and now getting into undisclosed investments.” “Him bringing up Bobby being invested in Kiki Milk made me wonder what else he isn’t disclosing,” Rob said. The TikToker went on to go through various clips of Flavcity recommending products, and accuses him of having partnerships with or investing in every single example. Lapham also claimed at the beginning of the video that Liam, theplantslant on TikTok, has experienced disordered eating due to Flavcity’s recommendations. If the accusations from Rob and Liam are true, Flavcity could be in breach of the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement rules. “The FTC Act applies to product recommendations and other endorsements made on behalf of a sponsoring advertiser,” the rules read. “For example, your product recommendation would be covered by the FTC Act if an advertiser – or someone working for an advertiser – pays you or gives you something of value to have you mention that product.” Flavcity has yet to respond to the accusations, and at the time of writing hasn’t uploaded a video in almost a week. If he does respond, however, we’ll update this article. In the meantime, head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

Food YouTuber leaves viewers confused after pretending to eat her meals – Dexerto
Food YouTuber leaves viewers confused after pretending to eat her meals YouTube, Jennifer NgoYouTuber Jennifer Ngo has gone viral for posting mukbang videos and food reviews without ever taking a single bite. YouTube and TikTok viewers alike have become monumentally confused about how there is a creator doing food reviews without even tasting the cuisine. Influencer Jennifer Ngo has been seen shaking lemons over plates rather than squeezing them, taking fake bites of food, and even letting the soup spill back into the bowl while reviewing meals. While she is primarily known for her beauty tips, reaction videos, and vlog content, she has now taken the world of Short form videos by storm with her hilarious “non-eating” food critiques. Jennifer Ngo doesn’t seem to taste the foods she reviews In Ngo’s video titled “EVERYTHING I ATE AT THE FAIR“, she rates the food with a 1-10 rating after “trying” each of the fair foods. It is quite obvious from the beginning that she is not even attempting to make it look like she is eating the food, which has made commenters and fans of hers quite confused. In her video “Lobster Roll Stitch”, she can be seen shaking a lemon over the top of her sandwich rather than squeezing it, which apparently enraged a few viewers. One commented “Bro, she’s not even eating it. She got me Trippin bro.” and another says “Bro the girl did not even take a bite in that f***** sandwich.” Whether the content is purposely made this way as a comedic take on food critics, or she just so happened to find something funny that stuck with her viewers, we may never know. Some believe Ngo not eating the foods in the videos might have something to do with a cosmetic surgery she received when she was born. Though this is pure speculation, it is worth noting that Ngo did comment on the surgery she had as a child in a recent interview, where she stated her lip was ripped on one side after birth and had to be sewn back together. On the other hand, she’s been seen in recent videos actually eating the food, leaving viewers even more confused as to her motivations. Many in the comments on a video of her eating some food from Olive Garden had commenters happy to see her eating the food in front of her.

Food blogger fined $18,500 after eating great white shark in viral video – Dexerto
Food blogger fined $18,500 after eating great white shark in viral video DouyinA Chinese food blogger has been fined nearly $19,000 after filming herself grilling and eating a great white shark. The content creator, who’s known online as Tizi, was identified by officials as Jin Moumou. According to a statement from officials in Nanchong, China, she was hit with a 125,000 yuan ($18,522) fine for illegally purchasing and eating a wild animal. Jin reportedly purchased the six-foot great white shark in April 2022, the statement said. However, the controversy came to light in July, when filmed herself preparing and eating the wild animal. The video was in violation of the “Wild Animal Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China.” Illegal possession of a white shark can also lead to a prison term of between five to 10 years. In the clip, which was posted to social media sites Douyin and Kuaishou, the food blogger can be seen posing with the apex predator, after illegally buying it. The shark is then sliced in half, marinated and barbecued, while the head is cooked in a broth. “It may look vicious, but its meat is truly very tender,” Jin exclaimed in the viral video, as she tore off large chunks of the animal’s barbecued meat, before devouring it. She initially claimed to have bought the shark at a Nanchong shop, but it was actually purchased for 7,700 yuan ($1,141) on the Alibaba-owned shopping site Taobao. DNA tests from tissue remnants identified the illicit meat as a great white. Authorities have since arrested two people involved in catching and purveying the shark for Jin. Police started investigating the food blogger in August last year, after her video sparked widespread backlash. Jin had claimed that she had bought the great white shark legally, and said she was looking for a lawyer. This is not the first time a content creator has been fined for illegally purchasing and eating a wild animal. Previously, a YouTuber faced a fine of up to $13,800 after filming herself eating a protected bat species.

Food influencer goes viral for sparking debate on the “correct” way to eat a sandwich – Dexerto
Food influencer goes viral for sparking debate on the “correct” way to eat a sandwich TikTok: soogia1A food influencer has gone viral on TikTok for sparking a debate about the “correct” way to eat a sandwich. Social media apps like TikTok and Instagram help users connect through shared experiences. Whether that be a brand new food location, easy breezy life hacks, or even rants about the terrible time they may be having. Through these shared experiences, users are able to connect and relate to one another about our existence as human beings. Of course, not all discussions on social media are necessarily quite as deep. Sometimes these conversations can be nothing more than goofy discussions about the ideal ways to take a shower. And now an even goofier debate has sprung up thanks to a food influencer, who has since gone viral for sharing their take on the “correct” method of eating a sandwich. TikToker soogia1 has gone viral for sparking a debate about the way people should go about eating sandwiches. The TikToker put up an image that gave viewers 3 different options on where to bite next, with them vehemently believing C is the correct answer. “Please tell me there’s no actual debate on this. Where’s your next bite? This is really obvious right? We’re all together on this right? There’s only one answer, the next bite on this sandwich is C.” Soogia then proceeds to explain how viewers should eat the rest of the sandwich, stating that they should save the best for last. However, it seems that many viewers disagreed with this take, with the comments being flooded that B is the correct solution to this sandwich dilemma. The TikTok has caused such a debate it’s been liked over 128 thousand times, with over 24 thousand comments as users battle it out for the optimal sandwich-eating process.

Foam pit at TwitchCon was the biggest controversy of the whole event – Dexerto
Foam pit at TwitchCon was the biggest controversy of the whole event Despite a world of streamers colliding, it wasn’t the usually outspoken and sometimes ego-driven content creators that caused a stir at TwitchCon – instead, it was a simple foam pit. TwitchCon, held twice a year, once in Europe and once in the US, is intended to be a celebration of the streaming community, bringing together fans, streamers, brands and Twitch staff. However, despite all the fun there is to be had, and some gaming events on to enjoy, there is often also drama, given all those content creators in such close proximity. For 2022 though, a foam pit that was open to visitors at the San Diego event has caused more controversy than any streamers managed to conjure up. What is wrong with the TwitchCon foam pit? Things started to look wrong when streamer Adriana Chechik endured a very serious accident after jumping in the pit. The content creator confirmed she had broken her back in two places, and required surgery. The pit was put on by Lenovo and Intel, rather than Twitch itself. According to attendees, the pit was far too shallow, and only covered by a thin layer of foam cubes. The intention was for participants to battle it out by standing on two platforms and attempting to push the other person off, into the pit. Another streamer, Loch Vaness was also injured after, explaining that they had dislocated their knee in the pit. The pit was still open on Sunday morning, but by noon, it had closed. Adding to the controversy though, is that participants had to sign waivers before using the ‘jousting’ station. This waiver would presumably protect the organizers from liability for injuries or damage to property. However, some have argued that this shouldn’t be a protection from the “negligence” of the pit’s formation. Twitch, when asked for comment by NBC, directed them to Lenovo’s PR team, who did not respond at the time of publishing.

Flute Guy is jazzed about the love he got for viral Game Awards performance – Dexerto
Flute Guy is jazzed about the love he got for viral Game Awards performance YouTube: thegameawardsThe 2022 Game Awards spawned a few viral moments, but no one took over Twitter quite like #FluteGuy — and it looks like he’s pretty pumped about all the love he got online. Once a year, The Game Awards recognize the industry’s best and brightest releases, doling out accolades for such achievements as Best Narrative, Innovation in Accessibility, and of course, Game of the Year. This year, Elden Ring took home the coveted GotY spot, sweeping the 2022 Awards alongside God of War Ragnarok. The Awards themselves aren’t the only notable aspect of the show, though; they also feature a slew of trailers for upcoming titles and live performances from music artists, as well as a yearly orchestral roundup of music from GotY nominees. The 2022 orchestral performance piqued interest across the internet as viewers couldn’t help but notice one particularly enthusiastic flutist on stage, who seemed to pull out a different instrument for each song (which he would then subsequently play with wild abandon). Twitter was instantly set alight with oodles of memes recognizing the flutist’s impressive performance, with many users choosing to focus on him rather than the storm stager who hijacked Hidetaka Miyazaki’s GotY speech. He’s not just any old flute player, though; fans quickly discovered that the flutist’s name is Pedro Eustache, a Venezuelan musician and flute soloist who has built or modified many of his own instruments (over 600 of them, in fact) and even worked alongside legendary composer Hans Zimmer for the DUNE soundtrack. #FluteGuy responds to viral memes on Twitter after Game Awards performance It looks like Eustache took notice of all the love he was getting over on Twitter and uploaded a quick video to thank his newfound fans following his viral performance at the 2022 Game Awards. “Hey, this is Pedro Esutache, you guys know me as ‘Flute Guy,’” he said in his video. “I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your absolutely amazing response all over social media after the Game Awards of last night. God bless you!” Fans were quick to reply to Eustache’s heartwarming video with even more posts congratulating him on his flute skills. The flute, its melodies and the people who play them are incredibly important to both the soundtrack and overall themes of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Thank you for doing them justice with your performance. It was an honor seeing you do them all justice last night, thank you. pic.twitter.com/Fo628G9c1B — THE WIND BLOWS (@Luxin_Xeno) December 9, 2022 Your performance last night during Xenoblade 3’s music was absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for pouring your heart into it and I hope to see you back next year too! — Aero (@ActualAero) December 9, 2022 What a legend. He mastered the 4 flutes. pic.twitter.com/SD1ZOMuPmd — Fizzwin (@FizzwinCH) December 9, 2022 Here’s hoping we see much more of #FluteGuy in the future!

Floyd Mayweather’s promoter says he didn’t take Logan Paul fight seriously – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather’s promoter says he didn’t take Logan Paul fight seriously YouTube:TheMacLifeFloyd Mayweather’s promoter has claimed that the undefeated boxer didn’t take the Logan Paul fight seriously, and if he’d have done a full training camp, he’d have “f***ed” Paul up. After months of excitement and hype, the highly anticipated bout between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather finally took place on June 6. In the end, the 8-round exhibition fight went the distance, with Mayweather controlling the pace of the action with his signature defensive style. Despite this, Mayweather did receive some criticism over his performance, with Paul even pointing out that the Hall of Famer was “slower than expected”. Well, Mayweather’s promoter Leonard Ellerbe has claimed that Floyd didn’t take the fight seriously and that Paul is lucky Mayweather didn’t go through a full training camp. Promoter claims Mayweather didn’t take Paul fight seriously In an interview with TheMacLife, Floyd Mayweather’s promoter Leonard Ellerbe claimed the undefeated boxer didn’t take the fight seriously at all. Despite only doing the minimum amount of prep heading into the bout, Ellerbe voiced that Mayweather was the one pressing the action and looking to fight, whereas Paul was just moving into grapple. “He’d have f***ed him up [if he had a full training camp] but Floyd wasn’t taking none of this seriously… Floyd was walking him down the whole 8 rounds, he wasn’t running around the ring, the little guy was walking the big guy down,” he said. Topic starts at 0:16 It’s obvious Ellerbe believes that if Mayweather decided to go through a whole camp, it’s likely he would have been able to knock Paul out during the fight. Although it’s impossible to know whether this is true, even Floyd reiterated in the post-fight conference that he only trained twice a week for the bout. Mayweather certainly isn’t renowned for his aggressive boxing style, but it would’ve been interesting to see the undefeated boxer in peak condition. While no one came out on top in the end, it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing both Mayweather and Paul back in the ring again. The question is, who will each of them decide to take on next?

Floyd Mayweather warns Jake Paul after hat brawl: “I ain’t nothing to play with” – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather warns Jake Paul after hat brawl: “I ain’t nothing to play with” Instagram: Floyd Mayweather / Jake PaulFloyd Mayweather issued a warning to Jake Paul over their heated brawl at the press conference, telling him that he’s “nothing to play with” and if it happens again, he’ll put him in a “neck brace.” In the lead-up to the exhibition boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul, they held a press conference to promote the fight — as is the tradition in the fight game. Instead, however, all eyes turned on Jake Paul after he stole Floyd’s hat, which resulted in a short-lived but nasty scuffle. Jake admitted that he didn’t think Floyd would get so mad. Instead, he thought it was a bit of harmless banter. He also claimed none of the punches “were even coming close” to hitting him in the face, although some fans think he’s playing it down. View this post on Instagram But Floyd’s account of the events tells a different story. He told Showtime that he was mad because of the sheer “disrespect” and insisted that his punches dealt a significant amount of damage. And if that wasn’t enough, he promised to dish out even more if Jake didn’t stop “f**king” with him. “I ain’t nothing to play with. I’m not for the jokes. Totally disrespectful. That’s why you ended up with 2 black eyes, and your nose got f**ked up, and your teeth got chipped,” he said. “Keep f**king with me next time you’re going to be in a neck brace. Keep f**king with me.” The press conference brawl was a bad look according to some, believing it stole the spotlight to the point where it’s ruining the main fight. However, others insisted it played a key role in building the hype, including Logan, who thanked his brother for “selling the fight.” Perhaps that was the plan all along.

Floyd Mayweather willing to fight Jake Paul under one condition – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather willing to fight Jake Paul under one condition YouTube: Rob Moore, Jake PaulFloyd Mayweather is fresh out of the ring from his fight with YouTuber Logan Paul — but he’s got another influencer vying for his attention already, and he has a pretty big condition, should they ever face off. Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition match with Logan Paul became one of the most anticipated influencer boxing matches to date, pitting one of YouTube’s biggest personalities against one of boxing’s greatest fighters of all time. However, the match was somewhat sidelined by Jake Paul’s stunt at their May 6 press conference. The younger Paul brother taunted Mayweather before nabbing his hat and running off into the crowd, resulting in a massive brawl that left the YouTuber with a bloody mouth and a bruised eye. The incident caused Logan Paul to amp up his personal security as a result, noting that Mayweather had threatened to “kill” Jake over the scuffle. “”Got your hat!”” Floyd Mayweather & Jake Paul got into a scuffle at the #MayweatherPaul press conference 🤯pic.twitter.com/uFEueh6FWk — Dexerto (@Dexerto) May 6, 2021 While Jake has called out just about any and every high profile fighter out there, a bout with Mayweather would be a crowning jewel in his already impressive professional record… but Mayweather isn’t up to the task unless Jake meets a certain condition. In a statement to author and YouTuber Rob Moore, Mayweather claimed that, if he were to have a “real fight” with Jake, the influencer would have to get down to his weight class. “Jake Paul talked about me and him fighting in a real fight,” he said. “If it’s a real fight, then I’ll go down to my real fighting weight class, which is 147 pounds or 154 pounds. If Jake Paul can come down to 154 pounds, then we can see his skills.” (Topic begins at 2:24) It’s notable that Mayweather fought in multiple weight divisions, from Lightweight to Light Middleweight. For now, it’s looking like Mayweather wants Jake to get down to Super Welterweight… although, as of his last fight with Ben Askren, Paul weighed in at 190 1/2 lbs. At 6’1″, it might be a bit unrealistic to ask Paul to lose 36 lbs… and with Mayweather agreeing to a rematch with Conor McGregor, it might be some time before we see this fight come to light, if ever.

Floyd Mayweather slams Logan Paul’s boxing skills ahead of Don Moore bout – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather slams Logan Paul’s boxing skills ahead of Don Moore bout Amanda Westcott for SHOWTIMEBoxing champ Floyd Mayweather is taking shots at YouTube star Logan Paul, comparing him to his own upcoming opponent, former pro boxer Don Moore. Logan Paul shook up the influencer boxing space in a huge way last summer when he announced he would be stepping onto the canvas with undefeated champ Floyd Mayweather. Their exhibition match was certainly one for the history books — although many criticized Paul’s performance in the ring, with theories abounding that the YouTuber had actually been knocked out and held up by Mayweather during a clinch. It seems that Mayweather wasn’t too jazzed about his opponent’s boxing skills, either, as he claims that unlike Don Moore, Paul didn’t come to fight — but instead, to merely make it through all 8 rounds. Mayweather hits out at Logan Paul’s boxing performance “Don will come to fight,” Mayweather said in a press conference ahead of their May 14 bout in Dubai. “It’s a little different. Don is going to come to fight, and may the best man win.” “Whereas at the Hard Rock Stadium, Logan Paul talked a good game but didn’t come to fight. He came to hold. So he’s coming to fight, I’m coming to fight. Eight rounds, from start to finish. It’s going to be explosive.” Paul has yet to respond to Mayweather’s claims at the time of writing, but if their past interactions are any indication, he’s likely to continue asking the boxing legend for his payment from their viral 2021 exhibition. Paul says that he still has yet to see the cheddar from that particular bout — but he’s not letting that stop him from other exploits. Most recently, Paul underwent a stint in the WWE, even saying he’s open to a full-time career in pro wrestling if boxing doesn’t work out.

Floyd Mayweather taunts and mocks YouTuber Jarvis in sparring session – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather taunts and mocks YouTuber Jarvis in sparring session JarvisYouTuber and former FaZe Clan member Jarvis was trolled by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather during their sparring session. Jarvis has been on an almost two-year hiatus since his last bout — also doubling as his debut. However, the 21-year-old is gearing up for his return to the ring. After signing a multi-fight deal, the Fortnite star is now preparing to feature as one of the High Stakes Tournament fighters in Kingpyn’s first YouTube boxing tournament. While it’s unclear when he’ll be getting in the ring, or who he’ll be facing for that matter, Jarvis was recently seen sparring with Floyd Mayweather — and in typical fashion, the 50-0 boxer had his fun. Floyd Mayweather trolls Jarvis while sparring During their brief encounter, Mayweather was seen taunting and trash-talking as he ran circles and danced around the young boxer while sparring — and fans couldn’t hold back with their jokes. “This is playing to mayweather not sparring lol but props to jarvis,” one fan wrote. “floyd just taking the p*** out of him,” said another. The YouTuber even jumped in on the jokes himself: “Floyd trash talking me the whole time and there’s nothing I can do about it,” he joked. “Still can’t believe that’s me lol.” While some poked fun at the former FaZe Clan member, many noted how he looked in good form. “Jarvis looks sharp, he’s clearly hesitant because it’s Floyd but I’m excited to see him fight again,” said one. “@liljarviss appears to be incredibly sharp, especially after 18 months out of the ring. It looks like he’s kept his foot on the gas ever since his last fight,” wrote another. It’s currently unclear when we’ll see him back in the ring properly, but fans are certainly excited.

Floyd Mayweather says he’ll fight Jake Paul if he beats Ben Askren – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather says he’ll fight Jake Paul if he beats Ben Askren Triller / Wikimedia commonsAfter YouTube star Logan Paul scored an exhibition match with Floyd Mayweather, it seems the 50-0 boxing champ has picked up an unexpected appetite for influencer fights, as he has now called out Jake Paul for a potential bout. In November 2020, it was announced that Logan Paul would be taking on Floyd Mayweather for a ‘Super Exhibition’ match in February 2021 — a fight that no one saw coming. However, it seems that Logan’s bout with the boxing legend has been postponed due to the current health crisis and unexplained “business” issues… but that isn’t stopping Mayweather from scheduling a slew of other future matchups. While Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather news has been the buzz of the internet, little brother Jake Paul has been terrorizing professional fighters left and right, finally nabbing a chance to faceoff against MMA pro Ben Askren. It’s official😈. April 17th. @triller Fight Club. pic.twitter.com/eYcaTOJhlt — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 26, 2021 It seems like his next fight is already lined up, though, as Mayweather hit out at the youngest Paul brother in a scathing Instagram post, claiming that he’s down to fight the tow-headed YouTuber for a potential exhibition — provided he wins in his fight against Askren. Read More: Why is Corpse Husband so successful? – “This year I will focus on several exhibitions,” he began. “I will have an exhibition in Tokyo, Japan again. Of course the one with Logan Paul and I; and if Jake Paul can get past his next opponent Ben Askren, I will have an exhibition with him, as well.” Jake isn’t the only celebrity Mayweather is calling out, either; he also mentioned rapper 50 Cent, stating that he’s down to face off against the artist despite 50’s claims that he’s “too small.” View this post on Instagram “If he wants to lace up at the end of the year, we can do an exhibition then,” Mayweather added. “I don’t care about weight class with any of these guys. The Paul brothers will make great money with the events, but with 50 Cent, it has to be ‘Winner Take All.’” Thus far, Jake Paul has yet to respond to Mayweather’s callout — but considering how hungry he’s been for professional fights, it won’t be surprising if he agrees.

Floyd Mayweather says he’ll “probably” fight Jake Paul after Logan – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather says he’ll “probably” fight Jake Paul after Logan IG: Jake Paul / YT: TMZ SportsLegendary boxer Floyd Mayweather has said he will “probably” fight Jake Paul after his bout with his older brother Logan, which takes place late on June 6. YouTube boxing has surprised many with its longevity and popularity, but the involvement of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has taken it to a whole new level. The American superstar finished his career with a stellar 50-0 record and weighed in 34lbs lighter than Logan Paul at their June 5 weigh-in. Unsurprisingly, he is overwhelming favourite to take the victory, in spite of his opponent’s significant height and weight advantage. While Mayweather’s fight with Logan has not even taken place yet, some fans are turning their attention a potential bout with Logan’s younger brother Jake. Not only is Jake a more similar height and weight to Mayweather, but the pair have already clashed after the YouTuber bizarrely stole the boxer’s hat. During an interview with TMZ Sports, Mayweather stated that Jake is “probably” his next opponent. TMZ’s interviewer asked: “Everything got ratcheted up after the incident with Jake. People are gonna ask you ‘Are you gonna fight Jake Paul after this one?’ What’s your answer to that Floyd?” “Erm, we don’t know what the future holds,” Floyd responded. “But we’ll just see. After Logan, probably Jake. We don’t know, we’ll see.” Not only did Mayweather indicate a fight with Jake is likely, but he again endorsed Jake’s opponent Tyron Woodley, offering the ex-MMA fighter the chance to come and train with him. Woodley will fight Jake on 28 August, 2021, seeking to put an end to Paul’s winning run. Mayweather, known for his lucrative boxing career and resultantly being nicknamed ‘Money’, has already confirmed his pay cheque for the fight with Logan will be between $50 and $100 million. It’s not difficult to see why he’d welcome a fight with Jake.

Revealed: How much Floyd Mayweather is making from Logan Paul fight – Dexerto
Revealed: How much Floyd Mayweather is making from Logan Paul fight YouTube: Morning Kombat / ShowtimeAhead of his PPV showdown with YouTube celebrity Logan Paul, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has teased just how much he’ll be walking away with from the exhibition bout. After months of false starts, Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul is finally happening. The two are just days away from stepping inside a boxing ring and squaring off in a contest that won’t actually have a winner. Regardless of the fight’s merit, there’s no denying the buzz surrounding Showtime’s latest boxing spectacle. Both have been trading blows in the weeks leading up to the fight, generating more and more interest with each passing day. Before we even get to June 6, however, boxing’s ‘Pretty Boy’ has already made a decent chunk of change. Speaking with Morning Kombat’s Luke Thomas and Bryan Campbell, Mayweather teased just how much money he’s making to box Paul. It’s all gravy for @FloydMayweather 🍽️#MayweatherPaul pic.twitter.com/EWEq0sXyAk — SHOWTIME Boxing (@ShowtimeBoxing) June 3, 2021 Having labeled the PPV event “legalized bank robbery,” Mayweather appears unphased by his 52nd opponent. “I’m fighting a YouTuber who thinks he’s a real fighter,” he explained. All the while, he’s “getting crazy money for it.” “I’ve already made $30 million just building up to the fight,” Mayweather revealed. Purely for the pre-fight entertainment, the boxing icon has made more than Paul could make when all is said and done. As for his guaranteed purse on fight night, Mayweather didn’t go into specifics. While he didn’t confirm an exact figure, he teased that at least another “$50 million” could be in the cards just for showing up. “That’s not bad for a guy that’s retired,” he joked. This collective sum of $80 million presumably comes before any additional sponsor fees, PPV payouts, and the like. The relevant topic begins at the 7:40 mark below Despite not treating it as a “real fight,” Mayweather is certainly getting paid as if it were. Earlier predictions saw a nine-figure payday in the cards, and he’s well on his way to clearing that sum. We’ll have you updated with all the latest news as the hype surrounding the Mayweather vs Paul event reaches its apex.

Floyd Mayweather reveals monthly income after Jake & Logan Paul claim he’s “broke” – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather reveals monthly income after Jake & Logan Paul claim he’s “broke” Instagram: Floyd Mayweather/Logan PaulBoxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has claimed he’s in a position to make $300 million a month as both Jake and Logan Paul have said he’s “broke” and not paying up what he owes. In June of 2021, Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul finally ended months of trash talk and stepped into the boxing ring for their highly-anticipated exhibition bout. Though, as it was an exhibition, no winner or loser was ever announced. Logan, did though, shock everyone by going the distance with Floyd, but over a year on from the fight, the pair have remained embroiled in drama. The YouTuber has claimed that he’s owed in the region of $5 million for his part in the fight, and that he’ll take Floyd to court to get it. His brother, Jake, has also gotten involved with the beef, repeatedly calling Floyd “broke” and claiming that he’s wasted his money. Though, the boxing legend says he’s got enough and he has disputed those claims. Mayweather, who has a reported $1 billion career earnings from boxing, has invested in a number of business ventures, but there have been repeated claims that he’s got nothing from the Pauls, seeing as he hasn’t paid Logan. According to the Mirror, Mayweather indirectly responded to those claims during his induction to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. “I will continue to give back to the sport of boxing in my time, and I will also give back financially because I got it,” Floyd said. “To my team, my guys in New York, and my other real estate team that’s here today, we can’t be stopped. In 32 months, I put myself in a position with a smart business team to make $300m a month. It all started from the sport of boxing.” Of course, the $300 million figure is incredibly lofty and there’s no real way of proving it unless Floyd was to open up his books. Though, his name holds incredible weight both in boxing and outside of it. Why Logan has yet to be paid in full remains a mystery, even to him, but given that the pair have made a few claims about talks over a possible rematch, it’s not going away anytime soon.

Floyd Mayweather leaks new details on Logan Paul fight during Clubhouse call – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather leaks new details on Logan Paul fight during Clubhouse call Floyd Mayweather/Logan Paul/InstagramBoxing superstar Floyd “Money” Mayweather revealed some never before heard details about his upcoming bout with Logan Paul. Some of the biggest news concerning the eldest Paul brother as of late is his upcoming match against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather, but due to ongoing global events, the exact details surrounding the matchup are still pretty much unknown after being postponed. That is, until Mayweather hosted a Clubhouse meet-up where he leaked to listeners during the call where they want to hold the bout, when it would happen, and more. After one listener asked about the Logan Paul fight, Mayweather was not shy with the details, including plans to try and fill the brand new Las Vegas Raiders stadium to the brim with fans for the showdown. “We’re gonna do Logan Paul, and we pushed it back because we want an audience, we want to bring 80,000 people to watch,” Mayweather explained about the Feb. 20 date’s delay. “We’re trying to do it at the Raider’s stadium in Vegas for 80,000 people.” Pulling in a crowd like that would be a tall order the way current events are going, so it’s probably safe to say that the fight will be postponed until much later, once things start to improve and life begins to return to normal. https://youtu.be/1ssBMXUqWKc Obviously, fans will want a solid, actual date for the fight set in stone sooner rather than later, but Floyd’s recent revelation has made it clear that the wait is set to continue with no end in sight anytime soon. Whenever it happens it’s sure to be a hot-ticket item, but based on what we’ve heard about the delay from others including Paul’s friend Mike Maljak, who joked that it wouldn’t be happening until “2026”, means we probably shouldn’t be holding our collective breaths.

Floyd Mayweather reveals insane payout for Logan Paul boxing match – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather reveals insane payout for Logan Paul boxing match Sean Michael Ham/ Mayweather PromotionsFloyd Mayweather has hinted at the incredible figure he pulled from his exhibition match against Logan Paul, and it’s an amount most world champion boxers could only dream of making. Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul didn’t end up being quite the mismatch many thought it would be as it went the full distance. That said, it still seems completely absurd that these two would ever have stepped in the ring together. While boxing purists might not like the idea of influencer boxing, it’s clearly got a huge audience, selling roughly 1 million PPV buys. Floyd isn’t nicknamed ‘Money’ for no reason — he’s the biggest PPV attraction in combat sports and is definitely making no secret of it. After Gervonta Davis’ win over Mario Barrios to become Junior Welterweight champion, Floyd Mayweather was at the press conference, joking around with reporters and those in attendance. “I’m the only person you know, I could do a fake fight and get 100Ms!” he joked, suggesting he made $100m from the fight. “I could do some legalized sparring and get 100Ms!” Clearly referencing his “fake fight” with Logan Paul, he then joked about being the “best bank robber” in the sport, hinting that he managed to steal the insane amount by pushing through the “fake fight.” Floyd Mayweather boasting about making $100million for his exhibition with Logan Paul after Gervonta Davis’ win… [📽️ @ShowtimeBoxing] pic.twitter.com/nehjApdnUL — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) June 27, 2021 Needless to say, $100m is an absolutely ludicrous figure, though it hasn’t been verified yet. Some in the comments suggest that he might have made closer to $60m, which is still a mouth-watering amount. If the figure is anywhere close to $100m, Logan can’t have made all that much less, which would undoubtedly make him the biggest prizefighter on YouTube. With rumors that he wants to take on Mike Tyson next, the gig might not be up just yet.

Floyd Mayweather in “final stages” of setting up fight with next YouTuber – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather in “final stages” of setting up fight with next YouTuber Instagram: floydmayweatherFloyd Mayweather has reportedly almost finalized his next fight against a YouTuber, just a few months after his exhibition match against Logan Paul in June 2021. 44-year-old Floyd has been undoubtedly one of the greatest boxers to ever step foot in the ring, boasting a 50-0 professional record with 27 knockouts. While his pro career may have slowed down now, ‘Money’ is still competing in the ring, taking on influencers to prove boxing is no easy game. After his eight-round bout against Logan earned them both millions — though Logan claims he hasn’t yet been paid from the fight — Mayweather doesn’t seem to be finished wanting to put YouTubers in their place. As reported by Sky Sports, Mayweather is preparing to take on 20-year-old Dubai-based YouTuber Money Kicks at some point in 2022. Money Kicks is known for flaunting his lavish and extravagant lifestyle on YouTube, and has already organized two previous boxing events, both of which he headlined and won. “I never thought I would ever fight Floyd. He is the best fighter ever,” the young YouTuber said. “Mayweather’s team asked my team for a meeting. We thought: ‘No way will this happen!’ The same day of the meeting, I saw Mayweather saying: ‘I would love to fight Rashed’. He is serious.” Money Kicks also joked that people in his country think he’s “the Mayweather of Dubai,” with plans to extend his boxing career with several fights planned throughout the year. Mayweather himself might not think much of Money Kicks being called that, but he clearly respects him enough to take him on in the ring. The bout is penciled in for some time in February 2022, but an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

Floyd Mayweather isn’t worried about “punishing” Logan Paul over Jake Paul’s hat stunt – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather isn’t worried about “punishing” Logan Paul over Jake Paul’s hat stunt YouTube: imPaulsive, SHOWTIME SportsYouTube star Logan Paul and retired boxing champ Floyd Mayweather are set to throw down on June 6 — but their friendly exhibition match got interrupted by a totally unexpected stunt from Jake Paul. After months of delays and speculation, Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather set a date of June 6 to finally touch gloves in the boxing ring. On May 6 — a month prior to their bout — Logan’s little bro, fellow YouTuber Jake Paul, began antagonizing his opponent. Throughout their press conference that day, Jake taunted Mayweather, touching his leg while he was on stage and even untying his shoe before confronting him after the interviews were over. After getting in Mayweather’s face, Jake snatched the champ’s ball cap and ran off, chanting the now-infamous phrase, “Gotcha hat!” “”Got your hat!”” Floyd Mayweather & Jake Paul got into a scuffle at the #MayweatherPaul press conference 🤯pic.twitter.com/uFEueh6FWk — Dexerto (@Dexerto) May 6, 2021 Mayweather was understandably furious, and chased after the self-proclaimed “Problem Child,” even threatening to “kill” him over the incident; but come June 3, the 50-0 champ appeared calm and composed. When asked if he hoped to punish Logan for his little bro’s antics, Mayweather claimed that he wasn’t necessarily looking to settle any kind of grudge. “I don’t really worry about that,” he answered during the June press conference. “This is easy. It’s what I do. I’m a fighter. I don’t worry about anything. I’ve been pro for years, seen every style, and came out on top.” When asked why he got so angry at Paul, Mayweather claimed that it was all about respect — which he says Jake didn’t have in regards to him. “I’m not upset at all,” he answered. “My thing is this… There’s a difference between respect and disrespect. There was untying my shoe. My children’s mother passed away last year, [an he was] talking about her. Touching my hat. So, it’s all about reciprocation. Treat people how they want to be treated. …Jake Paul has nothing to do with this event.” (Topic begins at 1:50:06) As for his actual opponent, Mayweather says that he similarly isn’t worried about their difference in stature, stating that “I’m fighting a YouTuber who thinks he’s a real fighter!” Fans can tune into Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather via Showtime PPV at 5 PM PST on June 6.

Floyd Mayweather exposes the truth about Logan Paul boxing match: ‘It wasn’t real’ – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather exposes the truth about Logan Paul boxing match: ‘It wasn’t real’ Instagram/floydmayweatherBoxing legend Floyd Mayweather has revealed new details about his fight with Logan Paul that may cast doubt on the YouTuber’s real ability in the ring. The exhibition match between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather was quite the spectacle. With neither combatant scoring a KO, the fight went the distance and no winner was declared. However, while many felt like Floyd would have won if judges were allowed to score the fight, due to the exhibition rules, the fight ended without anyone getting their arm raised, leading some to speculate what would have happened in a real bout and if Paul was even KO’d at one point. Now, Mayweather has addressed those concerns. At the WBC Convention, he shed some new light into the match, his preparation and if he was even taking it seriously. Floyd Mayweather says he’d KO Logan Paul in a real fight According to talkSPORT’s Michael Benson, Mayweather revealed that his fight with Logan Paul and while it was “fun” it wasn’t a true boxing match. “I did an exhibition with the YouTuber Logan Paul. We had fun. People have gotta know, there’s a difference between a real fight and an exhibition,” Mayweather said, downplaying the spectacle. ‘Money’ then claimed that all he did to prepare was “work out from time to time,” implying that he hardly trained in the lead-up to bout. To make things even crazier, he boasted that if he tried, it would have been over before the second round. Floyd Mayweather: “”I did an exhibition with the YouTuber Logan Paul. We had fun. People have gotta know, there’s a difference between a real fight and an exhibition. All I did was work out from time to time. If it was a real fight, it would’ve been a blowout in the first round.”” — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) November 18, 2021 “If it was a real fight, it would’ve been a blowout in the first round,” he added, once more suggesting the exhibition simply wasn’t real. As Logan Paul readies for a rumored fight against Mike Tyson, one has to wonder if Floyd’s comments could really damage his stock leading into it. If Mayweather was holding back as much as he says he was, then how would Logan handle a knockout machine like Iron Mike? We’ll have to see what the future holds, but this certainly adds a new controversy to Logan Paul’s boxing career.

Floyd Mayweather hits back at Jake Paul mocking his fight offer – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather hits back at Jake Paul mocking his fight offer Instagram: floydmayweather/YouTube: Jake PaulFloyd Mayweather has hit out at Jake Paul after the YouTube star mocked his exhibition fight offer and accused him of not being able to read. Mayweather is currently gearing up for a boxing match against Jake’s older brother, Logan, but is setting his sights to the future. With Jake set to take on former UFC star Ben Askren on April 17, Mayweather says he will fight the younger Paul brother in an exhibition match if he gets the win — but the controversial YouTuber wasn’t having any of it. Jake read the following poem to Floyd, accusing him of not being able to read, saying he “doesn’t do exhibitions” and joking about the viral news of rapper NBA Youngboy getting Mayweather’s daughter pregnant. He also jokes about beating Nate Robinson, who was trained by Floyd, and hints that the legendary boxer should think about going into retirement. Of course, Floyd wasn’t going to take that lying down, and responded to Jake swiftly. Alongside a bunch of images of Jake, who he calls a “massive fan,” Floyd responded to the poem. “Them two bulls**t boxing matches he had were exhibitions,” he wrote in an Instagram post to his near-25m followers. “They were not against real professional boxers. And I don’t even play when it comes to education because millions of blacks got lynched just for reading.” View this post on Instagram Floyd added that Jake “went to get a black boxing trainer, tries to dress like [he’s] black, wears jewelry like black people, tries to dance like black people,” accusing the star of “jacking black swag from us.” The beef between these two is clearly growing, and we may very well see them face off in the ring down the line — and there could be a lot more bad blood than between Floyd and Logan.

Floyd Mayweather explains why he “can’t” fight Jake Paul despite wanting to – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather explains why he “can’t” fight Jake Paul despite wanting to Instagram: Floyd Mayweather / Jake PaulUndefeated professional boxer Floyd Mayweather has revealed why his rumored fight against Jake Paul won’t happen even though he wants it to. The rivalry between Jake Paul and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is going to have to end without a winner despite years of feuding between the two. A potential match between The Problem Child and Mayweather has been on a lot of fans’ minds ever since Jake’s big brother Logan went the distance against the former champ in an exhibition bout. The build-up to the fight included a major confrontation with Jake when he ended up stealing Mayweather’s hat, prompting a social media firestorm and Jake even claiming “gangsters” were hired to kill him. Eventually, Jake issued a challenge to fight Mayweather, but Money doesn’t see it happening. Floyd Mayweather responds to Jake Paul fight challenge Speaking at a press conference for his upcoming match against Aaron Chalmers, Floyd was asked about Jake Paul wanting to fight him in a non-exhibition match. “We spoke to Jake Paul before and we can only do an exhibition because of the weight disadvantage. I can’t get up to 180-190 pounds. My body just wouldn’t let me,” the boxer said. However, Floyd made it clear that if he could get to the weight, he’d have no problem duking it out in the ring against the undefeated Jake. “If I could, I would. But I can’t,” he added, before revealing why he won’t push himself. “I’m not chasing anyone. I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to accomplish.” The legend further stressed that he already had his time as a boxer, but plans to still entertain fans with his exhibition matches until he finally hangs up his gloves for good. “When I choose to stop exhibitions, I will still support the sport of boxing. I’m a pioneer of being a boxer, I’m an entrepreneur. I’m playing chess in the real world. I’m truly blessed. I can’t take my opponent for granted. It’s entertaining.” Although fans may not get to see Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather, they can still see The Problem Child finally take on Tommy Fury this Saturday as Jake Paul looks to become a ranked boxer for the first time in his career.

Floyd Mayweather confirms 2022 boxing return with potential YouTuber clash – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather confirms 2022 boxing return with potential YouTuber clash Instagram: floydmayweather / Instagram: rsbelhasaFloyd Mayweather is stepping back into a boxing ring once again in 2022 as the combat sports icon has teased a new exhibition bout with yet another YouTube star. Since Mayweather’s retirement in 2017, a number of unique showcases have followed over the years. His latest in 2021 saw him standing across the ring from social media celebrity Logan Paul. While the pair continue to bicker to this day, Mayweather now appears to have a new opponent in his sights. After a few months on the sidelines, the 50-0 boxing legend has confirmed an upcoming appearance in Dubai. On Sunday, February 20, on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel, Mayweather is set to compete. Who’s to be his opponent? Nothing is locked in just yet, but one name, in particular, has piqued his interest. 20-year-old YouTuber Reshad ‘Money Kicks’ Belhasa is currently the frontrunner to face Mayweather in Dubai. The popular social media figure holds a 2-0 amateur record with both wins coming over fellow internet personalities. “I think since he’s from here, it would be great,” Mayweather said in a January 3 press conference. “The kid Money Kicks is doing great things and I’m liking what I see.” “I’m ready if you are,” Belhasa soon followed up to more than two million followers on his Instagram account. “Let’s make sure the bag is right.” Although contracts haven’t been signed, Mayweather doubled down on his intention to perform on the card. Careful not to label it a ‘fight,’ he expressed his desire to host another “limited edition boxing showcase,” as he called it. View this post on Instagram “It’s bigger than just boxing,” Mayweather added. We want to give the people some entertainment. I look forward to it.” A contest against Belhasa would mark a 24-year age gap, the largest in his career since Mayweather competed against Japan’s Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018.

Floyd Mayweather confirms boxing match with Deji – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather confirms boxing match with Deji YouTube: TMZ Sports, DejiFloyd Mayweather has just confirmed that he is fighting YouTube star Deji in an exhibition match in Dubai after rumors swirled that the two would face off this November. Undefeated boxing champion Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is stepping into the ring against another influencer later this year following his exhibition match against YouTube star Logan Paul in 2021. Ever since Deji’s exciting victory over fellow YouTuber FouseyTube at KSI’s ‘two fights, one night’ event on August 27, rumors have persisted that he would take on Mayweather next… and the legend has just confirmed these claims. Mayweather reveals he’s boxing YouTuber Deji in Dubai Mayweather opened up about the subject during an interview with TMZ Sports on September 21, where he revealed that he is, indeed, facing off against Deji for an exhibition match in Dubai. “I have an exhibition with a hell of a fighter from Japan, and then I got one with a guy — uh, Deji, I wanna make sure his name is right. Deji, right? We will be doing an exhibition in Dubai.” (Topic begins at 0:19) This latest statement follows reports from The Mirror that claimed Deji and Mayweather would touch gloves in Dubai this November. While further details about the match have yet to be revealed, Deji’s big bro, KSI, hinted that a contract still has yet to be signed between the two fighters, and no official announcements have been made at the time of writing. This marks Mayweather’s second major influencer fight since his exhibition against Logan Paul last year, where the YouTuber surprisingly went the distance in a battle that shook up the internet (and resulted in an unexpected spat between Mayweather and Jake Paul, to boot). Deji himself has kept relatively quiet on the subject, merely saying that a “fight announcement” was coming “soon” via Twitter on September 13. For now, it looks like a bout between these two personalities is all but confirmed — and in the meantime, fans can look forward to Jake Paul’s groundbreaking match against Anderson Silva in October.

Floyd Mayweather claims he “doesn’t know” who Deji is despite upcoming boxing match – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather claims he “doesn’t know” who Deji is despite upcoming boxing match 50-0 boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has claimed he “doesn’t know” who Deji is, despite the two of them stepping in the ring for an exhibition fight in just a few weeks. After a disappointing first few bouts, YouTube star Deji may have finally found his footing in the world of boxing after a convincing TKO against Fousey in his last fight. Going from fighting other Influencers like Vinnie Hacker and Alex Wassabi, the Olatunji brother has eyes on big a big target, as he prepares to take on the undefeated 50-0 champ Floyd Mayweather this November. However, despite the two of them just a few weeks out from their big night, Floyd has claimed he doesn’t even know the opponent he’s facing. Floyd Mayweather claims he “doesn’t know” who Deji is Noting that Floyd made easy work of his last opponent Mikuru Asakura, TMZ asked the boxer what he makes of his upcoming fight with Deji. To much surprise, Mayweather revealed he doesn’t exactly know much about the YouTuber he’s stepping in the ring with. “I don’t really know Deji, they just called me with the name. My team have done their homework and we said why not, lets enjoy ourselves,” he told TMZ. “I’m pretty sure he’s a tough competitor, a tough little guy,” Mayweather added. “We’re gonna have fun, let’s just say that. We’re gonna have fun.” Recently, Jake Paul criticized Mayweather ruining his legacy and wasting his fans’ money and time with “little exhibition fights” against fighters he doesn’t even know the name of. Regardless, Mayweather told TMZ he’ll continue to do the exhibition fights, because it keeps him in shape, active and keeps his brain sharp. He added that he’s even looking to fund some Hollywood films, and he’ll do whatever he wants.

Floyd Mayweather claims Tyron Woodley should have won vs Jake Paul – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather claims Tyron Woodley should have won vs Jake Paul YouTube: Jake Paul/Fight Hub TVIn an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Tyron Woodley revealed that Floyd Mayweather believed he should have won the fight against Jake Paul. After months of relentless promotion, Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley finally stepped into the ring on August 29 and let fists fly. Although a lot of fans expected a knockout to occur, the fight went the full eight rounds with both fighters taking a number of big punches. To the surprise of many, Paul took home the victory via split decision, taking down the UFC veteran. Although Paul was the more active fighter, the bout certainly wasn’t one-sided, leading to accusations of rigging and claims that Woodley should have been granted the win. According to Woodley, even boxing Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather believed that he won the fight and landed more damaging strikes. Floyd Mayweather believes Tyron Woodley should have won During the MMA Hour podcast, Ariel Helwani asked Tyron Woodley what Floyd Mayweather spoke to him about after the fight had finished. According to Woodley, Mayweather believed that he had done enough to win the fight. However, the undefeated pro did comment on the MMA fighter’s lack of output at points during the bout. Not only that, Mayweather argued that Paul looked scared of Woodley throughout during the fight and was backing off frequently to avoid getting hit by another power shot. “[Floyd said] I did some things really well that I should have done more of, he did say, just a little bit more output, he did think that I won the fight… he said I told you that he was going to be kinda scared of you, you been in there before.” Topic starts at 14:30 While Woodley didn’t take home the crown in his fight versus Paul, it’s always great to know that one of the greatest boxers alive believes that you did enough to win the fight. However, even Mayweather commented that Woodley didn’t throw enough punches, which was his ultimate downfall when it came down to the judges. Despite this, Woodley may get a second chance against Paul if he fulfills his end of the deal and gets the embarrassing tattoo he agreed to get done in the pre-fight press conference.

Floyd Mayweather blasts Jake Paul for fighting ‘old’ guys & responds to boxing challenge – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather blasts Jake Paul for fighting ‘old’ guys & responds to boxing challenge Instagram/Mayweather/JakePaulUndefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has hit back at influencer Jake Paul for challenging him to step into the ring and fight. Jake Paul has been adamant about wanting to step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather to put their unbeaten streaks on the line, but Floyd has remained quiet on the challenge until now. The semi-retired boxer continues to partake in exhibition bouts, having competed against Jake’s brother Logan in a fight that went the distance and will be squaring off against YouTuber Deji Olatunji on Saturday. Ahead of the match in Dubai, Mayweather was asked about potentially duking out it with Jake Paul and whether or not he’d ever consider battling The Problem Child. Floyd Mayweather roasts Jake Paul for wanting to fight him During a press conference, a reporter asked Mayweather if he’d fight Jake Paul in the future and the boxing star had some choice words for his possible opponent. “A lot of times when you say certain things you don’t want what you say you want. I mean he’s doing good for what he’s doing. You know, like I said, for what he’s doing,” Mayweather mocked. “He’s just a lot of talk. It’s different when you’re at the highest level. Once you get in there with a real fighter that can really fight. Is he doing good? Absolutely. But look who he’s fighting. Guys 50, guys 40,” Money continued. “I’m nearly fifty-years-old, so of course, he’d want to fight me.” While this doesn’t exactly confirm a bout between the two men, Jake is already eyeing possible opponents for his next match having recently bested Anderson Silva in his return to the ring. Just this week, Paul posted a video face-to-face with controversial internet personality Andrew Tate, claiming the two were in negotiations to brawl. As Mayweather continues to get older, however, the opportunities for a match between Paul and ‘Money’ may run out, so if the two are going to get it on, it may need to happen sooner rather than later.

Floyd Mayweather calls out Logan Paul as fight rumors intensify – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather calls out Logan Paul as fight rumors intensify Instagram: loganpaul, floydmayweatherBoxing legend Floyd Mayweather has officially called out YouTuber Logan Paul, warranting a confident response from the social media star, as things heat up in relation to their rumored fight. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] Back in September, reports started to come out that the unlikely pairing would face off in the ring at some point, with Logan clearly not scared off by Floyd’s incredible 50-0 unbeaten record. On September 16, former NFL kicker Pat McAfee reported that “a contract has been signed” for an exhibition match between the two though, since then, there has been little more said in regards to the fight. A contract has been signed and the fight is happening@FloydMayweather vs @LoganPaul #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/b3MwBzW0fR — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) September 16, 2020 That was until the early hours of the morning on Thursday, November 19, when Floyd Mayweather tagged Logan in a tweet, directly calling him out in response to the YouTuber’s boasts that he could beat Floyd. “These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with ‘cause I’m not the one for the kid games,” Mayweather said. “3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that b**ch. @LoganPaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.” While a tweet like this would usually intimidate possible opponents, or just about anyone else in the world, Logan wasn’t phased at all. He simply made a very bold prediction for the fight, saying “50-1,” implying he plans to end Floyd’s incredible unbeaten streak. Like Floyd said, though, the last person to challenge him was Conor McGregor, one of the most successful fighters in the UFC, and even he looked unlikely throughout the duration of the fight to even hope for a win. Just as everything was going quiet on the fight front between these two, fans will welcome the trash talk going on, and definitely suggests that things are heating up, so maybe fans will have more to look forward to in the near future.

Floyd Mayweather accuses Logan Paul of “clout chasing” for rematch amid pay dispute – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather accuses Logan Paul of “clout chasing” for rematch amid pay dispute YouTube: Fight Hub TV/Logan PaulBoxing great Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather claimed that Logan Paul has asked for a rematch of their 2021 exhibition bout despite all of his frustrations about a lack of pay. Over the last few years, Logan and Jake Paul have been at the forefront when it comes to influencer boxing events – moving on from just fighting fellow YouTubers to actual athletes and fighters. Logan has taken on the biggest test of them all, however, facing off against Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather back in June of 2021. Even though it was an exhibition fight, and no winner was announced, it was still a fascinating spectacle – and Logan managed to go the distance with ‘Money’. Over a year on from the fight, the social media star has continually expressed frustrations about a lack of pay – and has even threatened legal action against Floyd. Though, the boxing great says there’s also been interest in a second fight. On June 14, Floyd was in Japan announcing his next fight – an exhibition with MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura – when he revealed that there’s apparent interest on Logan’s side to redo the fight. “Logan Paul is the same guy that said he didn’t get paid but someone from his team, the guy who actually put that exhibition on reached out to us and said that Logan Paul wanted to do another exhibition,” Mayweather said in the fight announcement press conference. “This is the same guy that said he didn’t get paid. So, you guys have got to start watching these certain individuals, clout chasing. You see these guys constantly bringing up Floyd Mayweather’s name when they’re just trying to get clout,” he added. “I don’t know who it was exactly who reached out, but he (Floyd’s camp) told me this the day before yesterday (June 12).” Timestamp of 25:24 With Floyd calling out Logan with the clout-chasing description, it probably won’t be all that long before the imPaulsive host responds and addresses things. He is reportedly stepping back into the ring in August, a few weeks after his brother Jake fights in New York, and who knows what will happen afterwards.

Floyd Mayweather admits he’s open to Jake Paul fight as trash talk continues – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather admits he’s open to Jake Paul fight as trash talk continues YouTube: Fight Hub TV/Instagram: Jake PaulBoxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has admitted that he’s open to a fight with Jake Paul despite their sizable weight difference. As Jake Paul has made waves across the boxing world, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has picked up a few rivalries along the way thanks to his incessant trash talk – and he can count Dana White, Conor McGregor, and Floyd Mayweather amongst those. The beef with Mayweather kicked off around Floyd’s exhibition with Logan Paul, where Jake infamously stole the boxing legend’s hat and made off with it. Since then, the pair have gone back-and-forth over fights, money, and a whole host of other subjects. Both Jake and Floyd are preparing for their own fights – with Jake fighting Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva and Floyd facing off against Mikuru Asakura – but ‘Money’ wouldn’t be against fighting ‘The Problem Child’ either. Floyd Mayweather wants to fight Jake Paul Speaking to TMZ Sports ahead of his fight with Asakura, Floyd was quizzed on his rivalry with Jake, and noted that while there is a sizeable weight difference, he’d be open to making something happen. “I think he was doing a sitdown on a podcast one time, and he talked about it and he said ‘I don’t want to do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather,” Floyd said, referring to Jake. “He said ‘I’m only doing real fights.’ And of course, I can’t get high up in weight, but I’ll fight him in a real fight at the weight that I’m at.” Timestamp of 0:10 As noted, the weight difference between the two fighters is pretty massive – Floyd fights at Welterweight while Jake is at Cruiserweight and even Heavyweight for some bouts. Getting a commission to sign off on that fight in the ring would require some work, and would likely take place outside of the United States. Going the unsanctioned fight route would, obviously, see them both lose out on a lot of money, so who knows if they’ll ever clash. Though, Floyd isn’t completely out of the YouTube boxing world, seeing as there are rumors about him fighting Deji.

Florida woman files lawsuit against Hershey for “misleading” Reese’s packaging – Dexerto
Florida woman files lawsuit against Hershey for “misleading” Reese’s packaging The Hershey CompanyA woman in Florida has filed a lawsuit against the Hershey Company for its “misleading” packing for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins. Cynthia Kelly filed a class action lawsuit on December 29 seeking millions in damages against Hershey for deceiving customers over its candy packaging. The specific candy that she claims had “misleading” packaging was Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins from this year’s Halloween season. Kelly’s lawyer is no stranger to high-profile lawsuits against food companies. They have filed legal action against Burger King and Taco Bell for false advertising when it comes to the size of their food, and the amount of meat in their product respectively. Both suits are ongoing. This suit is in a similar vein, as the complaint said that Hershey’s labels “are materially misleading and numerous consumers have been tricked and misled by the pictures on the products’ packaging.” Lawsuit filed over Reese’s candy packaging being “misleading” Kelly claims in the legal filing that the candies she bought from her local Aldi in October lacked the artistic carvings for the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin displayed on the packaging. She said she would not have spent $4.49 on the candy if she knew it would not have the carvings on it. The complaint also shows similar illustrations from Hershey’s football-shaped Reese’s candy, which shows laces on the packaging, but not on the candy itself. The other products included in the class-action suit include Reese’s White Pumpkins, Reese’s Pieces Pumpkins, Reese’s Peanut Butter Ghost, Reese’s White Ghost, Reese’s Peanut Butter Bats, Reese’s Peanut Butter footballs, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Shapes Assortment Snowmen Stockings Bells. The plaintiff filed the lawsuit over the Reese’s product in Flordia and is seeking damages for people in the state who have purchased any other products listed.

Florida woman sues school after OnlyFans page gets her kicked off volunteer program – Dexerto
Florida woman sues school after OnlyFans page gets her kicked off volunteer program Instagram/victoriasnooksA Florida mom is suing her kids’ school district after she was booted from a volunteer program because of her OnlyFans content. 31-year-old Victoria ‘Snooks’ Triece is taking action against Orange County Public Schools in the form of a lawsuit after another parent outed her for having an OnlyFans account. Back in 2021, Snooks was a volunteer for Sand Lake Elementary School’s ADDition volunteer program, but that didn’t last when the school was tipped off about her side hustle, which, as history shows, can be quite lucrative. Triece had volunteered for five years before Principal Kathleen Phillips kicked her out of the program after learning about the OnlyFans content. A year later, Circuit Judge Paetra Brownlee sided with the school. According to The New York Post, the judge ruled that Triece “does not have an unequivocal legal right to participate,” but she isn’t backing down. OnlyFans model sues school over volunteer program fiasco In a new complaint, Triece and her team are alleging that images from her OnlyFans had “circulated … to OCPS staff and employees that were not in need of the information.” Triece’s attorney, Mark NeJame, defended his client, explaining that what does in her off-time isn’t “illegal” and school administrators had made a “horrific decision.” Over the years, we’ve seen multiple instances of schools firing teachers for their OnlyFans content, but it’s wildly different when it happens with a volunteer. During a news conference, the OnlyFans star said she was suing the schoolboard to prevent other parents from having to go through this same ordeal for what they do in their own time. “The main reason I’m doing this is not for myself. I can only imagine who’s been through this and couldn’t fight it and they’ve been told we don’t know how to fight this and how many people are to come that do the same exact thing I do,” she revealed. Triece and her attorney are letting a jury decide how much money she’d get in damages, but in 2021, they tried to get $1M. “We’re going to be seeking maximum damages and then allow a jury to determine what it costs somebody to be taken from their child, what it costs somebody not to be able to participate in their child’s lives, what it costs somebody to be having this publicly exposed,” NeJame explained. Meanwhile, Triece has expressed interest in volunteering in her younger child’s class, but will do so virtually only.

Thankfully, students and staff members came to the victim’s aid before the SRDs could arrive. Our schools should be a safe place – for both employees and students.” It’s not clear if the student and teacher had a history prior to this incident.

Florida teens arrested after dangerous TikTok Orbeez Challenge goes wrong – Dexerto
Florida teens arrested after dangerous TikTok Orbeez Challenge goes wrong TikTok, OrbeezTwo Florida teenagers have been arrested after a failed attempt of the Orbeez TikTok Challenge went wrong and injured a woman’s eye. TikTok has had a handful of trends go viral that have bled over into real life in dangerous ways, like the Devious Lick challenge. Now, another trend has become popular on the video app called the Orbeez Challenge, which has users shooting water gel pellets at random strangers. Police issued a warning about the challenge back in March 2022 and said the Orbeez challenge, “poses danger to the public.” Even after the warning, a pair of teenagers in Florida have been arrested after their attempt at the challenge went awry. Orbeez Challenge lands Florida teenagers in jail On May 9, Joashua Sanchez and Jacob Canaynay were arrested in Clearwater, Florida after their attempt at the Orbeez Challenge injured a woman in the eye with a gel pellet. Clearwater Police Department said this was not the first time they received a call about an Orbeez Challenge gone wrong. The victim of the prank was Jamie Pessina, who claimed to almost lose vision in her eye and said, “I don’t understand what this world is coming to.” “I don’t understand what this world it coming to..” says a woman shot in the eye by a gel-pellet. @myclearwaterPD says the case mirrors the dangerous social media- “Orbeez Challenge” … more tonight at 5/6p — Josh Cascio Fox13 (@joshcascio) May 9, 2022 The pair of 18-year-olds each face one count of simple/aggravated battery. Despite the negative reputation of the viral trend, the company is still advertising the Orbeez Challenge on its official website. TikTok has seemingly wiped all mention of the Orbeez Challenge from the app as searches for the phrase come up empty. SpinMaster, the manufacturer of Orbeez, has said that the pellets are “not intended to be used as projectiles or inserted in mechanisms.”

Florida man wrestles and catches wild shark in shallow waters – Dexerto
Florida man wrestles and catches wild shark in shallow waters Instagram: @hoodfishing_entertainmentOne man shocked the internet as he caught a shark on a rod and then decided to play with it in the water bare-handed and walk it like a dog. Sharks are usually animals of absolute nightmares for most people, sporting vicious, serrated teeth, and in-water acceleration that not even humanity’s most acclaimed swimmer Michael Phelps can beat. Not only do they look scary, but they do actually pose a serious threat to swimmers in warmer climates. While the chances are low, people have been attacked and killed by sharks in the past. In 2023 alone there were 10 shark-related deaths globally. However, one Florida man apparently paid no attention to how scary sharks can be. Instead, he caught the feared ocean predator and then got in the water with the wild shark and released it with his bare hands. Florida man handles Shark using only his bare hands In an Instagram post by hoodfishing_entertainment, one man proudly showed a shark that he had caught on a Rod. The first two photos show the man proudly holding a massive shark in his hands, with the last slide in the post showing him releasing the monstrous creature back into the water to swim back to freedom. People could not believe what they were seeing in the final slide, as the fisher casually strode out into the water with the massive shark, playfully tugging and pulling on the Predator’s tail. “In the water with the shark is crazy,” one person commented. “You walking him home like he ain’t got teeth,” said another. Other people referenced the hit DC comic and movie character Aquaman, claiming that the man should have ridden the shark to the depths in an attempt to become the real-life Aquaman. Still, despite seeing the man’s obvious comfort in handling the shark, many people admitted that it still hadn’t convinced them to go anywhere near the creatures.

Florida men go viral fighting each other fifty feet in the air on ski lift – Dexerto
Florida men go viral fighting each other fifty feet in the air on ski lift TikTok/kaelynfariaA couple of Florida men are going viral on TikTok after a fight broke out on a ski lift over fifty feet in the air. Snowboarders and skiers looking to get away for some fun winter sports activities were taken aback when a couple of men from Florida got violent on a lift. Footage of the incident was uploaded on TikTok by user ‘kaelynfaria.’ In it, you can see fists start flying on the lift a couple rows in front with onlookers terrified by the ordeal. “He elbowed me in my f**king face,” one man can be heard yelling before punches began being thrown. “You’re gonna be a f**king dumbass, so I’m going to embarrass you.” Eventually, when the lift reached its destination, the man who claimed he was elbowed explained what happened to staff at the resort. While the video ended with staff saying they would contact someone else to deal with the altercation and asked the two to sit tight until then, it seems like the police got involved. (click here if TikTok fails to load) Florida man ski lift fight goes viral According to TownLift, a complaint issued states that a 52-year-old man from Florida was accused of elbowing a 39-year-old Florida man. The younger of the two then went on to say he repeatedly punched the other individual until he “stopped acting aggressively.” The 52-year-old denied elbowing the other Florida man in the face or wanting to fight, and as such, with conflicting statements, The County Attorney’s Office has had to get involved. (click here if TikTok fails to load) In any case, footage of the altercation has gone quite viral on social media with the first clip garnering over 7 million views despite the first upload being taken down. We’ll have to wait and see what the future holds for both men, but it’s clear there wasn’t enough room at the Park City Mountain Resort for two Florida men.

Florida man sues Dunkin’ after exploding toilet leaves him covered in poo Unsplash.com: Giorgio Trovato / Dunkin’A Florida man is suing Dunkin’ Donuts for $100,000 after he was reportedly injured by an exploding toilet in the popular coffee chain. Dunkin’ (formerly known as Dunkin’ Donuts) is a prominent American coffee chain that’s gone viral for its recent collaborations with high-profile celebrities and influencers like rapper Ice Spice and TikTok star Charli D’Amelio. However, one Dunkin’ location in central Florida is seeing an ‘explosive’ surge in attention after a male customer experienced an unfortunate incident in its bathroom. Paul Keroac is seeking $100,000 in damages after he claims a Dunkin’ toilet in Winter Park, Florida exploded on him a year ago, causing “severe and long term injuries.” Florida man sues Dunkin’ for $100K over injuries from exploding toilet According to reports from ABC News, the explosion covered Keroac in all manner of “human feces, urine, and debris.” Keroac says he sought help from store staff after the alleged explosion, with one employee claiming they were aware of issues with the toilet prior to the ordeal. Keroac is now looking to sue the location for negligence in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, January 3, a year after the situation initially took place. While the lawsuit, obtained by ABC News, didn’t contain many details about the explosion, it does state that Keroac suffered “bodily injury” and is requesting both counseling and mental health care as a result of the incident. This is far from the latest ‘crappy’ ordeal to go viral as of late. In September 2023, a plane was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger suffered from what was described by the pilot as “biohazard” diarrhea that dribbled down the aisles of the craft, causing a major stink.

Florida man turns Amazon sandal tune into instant rap banger – Dexerto
Florida man turns Amazon sandal tune into instant rap banger Twitch/thedappperrapperFreestyling Twitch streamer TheDapperRapper is known to entertain his viewers by rapping over obscure tracks, but it doesn’t get any weirder than music that plays when viewing sandals on Amazon. The streamer was viewing links of sandals by viewers when suddenly, one sent him to an Amazon page for a Fitory brand shoe. After looking it over briefly, he clicked on a video on the product’s page and a song began to play, surprising the Twitch star who didn’t know where the tune was coming from at first. “Is that the beat?” TheDapperRapper asked as his mouth gaped open in awe. “Yo that’s this! That’s the music that’s playing for the sandal.” While Dapper’s bewildered reaction was already priceless, or $24.99 if you’re going by the cost of the shoe on Amazon, what followed was absolute fire. “Bro! Yo, oh we gonna rap on that hold on,” the Florida-based streamer said before dropping an impromptu banger on his chat. Read More: Facebook respond to Amouranth Instagram blackmail accusations “Oh my God,” the quick-thinking artist stated once he was finished with his rhymes. “I don’t believe this… yo, that’s wild. I didn’t know what was going on for a second.” If you want to try your luck at rhyming over the sandal, you can do so at this link. It only plays for around 15 seconds or so when you click play on the video. Then it will loop. It’s weird to have music play in any Amazon product page, but for it to happen for a sandal of all things is incredibly strange. Luckily, it resulted in one of the illest freestyles in some time. Dapper has been freestyling since he was 13, according to his Twitch page, so he has a lot of experience on thinking on the spot and letting his lyrics fly.

Florida man goes viral after successfully capturing alligator with trash can – Dexerto
Florida man goes viral after successfully capturing alligator with trash can YouTube: WPBF 25 NewsA Florida man is taking over the internet after a video showing the courageous gent successfully luring a rogue gator into a trashcan went viral on social media. It’s never a dull day in Florida, it seems. The Florida Man meme is loath to die, as is Florida Man, himself, if a viral video involving an alligator is anything to go by. On September 29, Florida’s Abdul Gene Malik stormed social media after a video of his front yard exploits took the net by storm. In the clip, Malik can be seen hefting a large, city-issued trash can toward a hissing alligator that looks none too happy about getting evicted from Malik’s property. Florida man channels his inner Steve Irwin to successfully detain rogue gator A crowd of onlookers can be heard heckling the gator and cheering Malik on. At first, he seemed to have a difficult time trapping the reptile into the receptacle… that is, until Malik let the can’s lid slip, which donked the animal on its head. This must have been the variable needed to get the large lizard to retreat into the trash can, protesting and thrashing all the while, until the lid closed behind it. Malik hefted the can upright with great effort to the applause of his neighbors, all while wearing socks and slides. Like any superhero, Malik had the perfect one-liner for such an exploit, simply saying of his reptilian rescue: “I got kids to protect.” The fate of viral Florida trashcan gator Unfortunately for the hometown hero, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission stated that Malik was issued a written warning regarding the treatment of wildlife in residential areas. It seems that the man was unaware of Florida alligator laws at the time of his brave act, which he’d done as a temporary measure until law enforcement could do their thing with the animal. Read More: Billie Eilish goes viral on TikTok as fan criticizes her over Governors Ball medical emergency – The alligator is reportedly alive and well, and has been released into a temporary retention pond until it can be relocated, according to reports from TMZ. While Malik certainly came out of this situation looking like He-Man, it’s definitely better to leave these matters to professional wildlife rescuers… but there’s no doubt that his trash-can exploits have made him a local legend.

Florida man goes viral using an alligator to open a beer can – Dexerto
Florida man goes viral using an alligator to open a beer can X: Wall Street SilverA Florida man is going viral online after a video of him opening a beer with the mouth of an alligator began circulating around the internet. Opening bottles and cans in out-of-the-box ways is nothing new. After all, many different trends and challenges have been created over the years focused solely on this task. However, the latest Florida man meme example to go viral has been dubbed by some as the “Florida Manniest” thing they’ve ever seen. For context, the term ‘Florida man’ is often used in the United States when a local does something weird or whacky, wild enough to make headlines, like in this instance. The term has garnered such a big mythos around it that Netflix has decided to create a new Florida man series that promises to go “beyond the meme.” In the now-viral video of the latest Florida man in question, the individual can be seen adopting one of the most daring ways to open up a can of beer. The 30-second clip showcases the way in which he used the mouth of an alligator to pierce his beer can. After placing his hand in the water to get the alligator’s attention, the small but deadly animal can be seen floating right next to the Florida man. When the alligator opened its mouth to attack, the man simply placed his left hand under its jaw, directed its mouth towards his right hand and slammed the beer can down on its teeth. The sharpness of the alligator’s teeth pierced the beer can and opened it right up. Others in the boat began cheering loudly, this roar only growing louder after another member of the group began to drink the beer right in front of the alligator. One comment under the video joked, “Florida Man is why America can never be defeated,” another added, “This is the most Florida thing I’ve seen all day.”

Florida man baffles cops by driving car literally piled with junk – Dexerto
Florida man baffles cops by driving car literally piled with junk TikTok: hellofromimaniA Florida man has literally piled his car with junk and taken it out for a spin, leaving onlookers — and a couple of police officers — understandably perplexed. A TikToker has stunned users of the platform after sharing footage of a bizarre sight captured in Orlando, Florida. The video shows a car piled sky-high with “junk” pulled over on a busy road as two police officers attempt to talk to the driver. However, whether or not they could even see him under the heap of chairs, bins, and scrap metal remains a mystery. Imani, who goes by ‘hellofromimani’ online,’ posted the video with the caption “Welcome to Orlando.” She said, “I’m so confused, this is crazy.” At one point, someone in the video could be heard exclaiming, “It’s a microwave on the front — a microwave!” And Imani’s viewers were seemingly equally stunned, jumping to the comments to share their thoughts. Many were “impressed” by the driver’s stacking skills, one person writing, “I’m just amazed how it’s all holding together. It’s holding it together better than my life.” Others theorized that it might be moving day; “He was [trying to] save money on that U-haul.” However, that plan might backfire according to one commenter, who said, “I know he is constantly getting gas, that engine is working OVERTIME.” There were even those convinced the car had to be an “art display,” with Imani admitting she “definitely had this thought too at first.” It is unknown what became of the driver or his interesting ride, though we suspect police might not have found the vehicle to be road-safe.

Florida man charged with animal torture after hitting deer with car for TikTok – Dexerto
Florida man charged with animal torture after hitting deer with car for TikTok Seminole County Sheriff’s Office27-year-old Clay Kinney has been charged with five counts of animal torment and one count of animal torture after deliberately hitting a deer with his car for a TikTok video. A 27-year-old Florida resident named Clay Kinney has been hit with a bevy of charges after uploading a grisly video to TikTok. In the video, Kinney attempted to run over five deer, but only struck one, fatally injuring the animal. According to reports from local news outlet Fox 35, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office began investigating Kinney after becoming aware of the video. Florida man arrested for hitting deer with car for TikTok video A detective with the Sheriff’s Office saw Kinney in the Geneva area and pulled him over for a traffic stop, where he learned that Kinney’s license was suspended. The detective then asked Kinney about the video — and he admitted to running over the deer with his Blue Chevy Tahoe and filming the act for TikTok. As a result, Kinney was arrested and charged with one count of animal torture, five counts of animal torment, and one count of a moving traffic violation, as per an affidavit obtained by Fox 35. This isn’t the first time Kinney has gotten on the wrong side of the law due to deer-related incidents, either. In 2021, Kinney was arrested for “possessing a baby fawn during the closed hunting season,” after law enforcement responded to a crash at Geneva’s Snow Hill Road. The officer reportedly witnessed Kinney set loose a fawn he had in a dog crate in his vehicle, as per arrest records. Kinney later admitted to parking on the side of the road to retrieve the fawn when he’d been rear-ended. According to Kinney, he’d wanted to take the fawn home and release it on his property. He ended up getting released on bond.

Florida man arrested after threatening to “kill 20 people” on Twitch – Dexerto
Florida man arrested after threatening to “kill 20 people” on Twitch Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office/TwitchA Florida man has been arrested after he threatened to “kill 20 people” in a mass shooting on Twitch. On December 9, 33-year-old Lowell Thomas Schoonmaker allegedly posted threatening remarks on Twitch while chatting on a stream. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI was tipped off to the comments by another Twitch user in the same chat after Schoonmaker posted, “Mass murder coming soon.” “Today I’m going to kill 20 people, have a nice day,” he reportedly wrote, in addition to remarks about wanting to “destroy the world.” FBI tip leads to arrest of Twitch viewer Following the tip to the FBI, detectives looked into the account and were able to trace its IP address. It wasn’t long before they discovered who the account belonged to, as well as his home in Boca Raton. During questioning, Schoonmaker confirmed the Twitch account was his and admitted to making the “stupid comments,” but denied the threats were serious. Schoonmaker claimed he was intoxicated and depressed when he made the disturbing statements. The user claimed that the death of his grandfather made him want to kill himself as a result. He went on to say that he longer felt like harming himself and didn’t own any firearms. On December 14, he was taken into custody and is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail. He’s been charged with written threats to kill or do bodily harm. It’s not known what streamer Schoonmaker was making at the time he made the threats or if his account has been banned on the platform. This isn’t the first time a Twitch user has been accused of making threats. Earlier this year, Zelda speedrunner Narcissawright, formerly known as CosmoWright, tweeted that she wanted to “shoot people at the Twitch HQ” after being banned on the site.

Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in home-made hamster wheel – Dexerto
Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in home-made hamster wheel Facebook: U.S. Coast guardA man from Florida has been arrested on federal charges for attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a “human-powered hamster wheel.” Florida Man is one of the internet’s oldest memes, popularized in 2013 when users began posting illogical and absurd fake news stories set in the US state. But now the meme has come to life. Reza Baluchi made it 70 miles off Georgia in his “hydro-pod” when he was arrested by the Coast Guard, resulting in a “bizarre three-day standoff” with authorities. He had been attempting to cross the Atlantic all the way to England, but instead of taking an airplane or boat, Baluchi set off on his adventure in a “human-powered hamster wheel.” According to a Facebook post made by the US Coast Guard, the vessel “was afloat as a result of wiring and buoys.” And yet despite the dangers involved in Baluchi’s “manifestly unsafe voyage,” he refused to get off the vessel. Instead, Bulachi made numerous threats to prevent officers from boarding. At one point he displayed “two knives and threatened to hurt himself” and even claimed to have a bomb onboard, though this was later revealed not to be true. He has since been charged with obstruction of boarding and has been given a bond of $250,000. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first time Baluchi has attempted to cross the ocean in a hamster-esque fashion. In 2014 he was found in an inflatable bubble, once again 70 miles off of Florida with the intention of reaching the Bermuda Triangle. Maybe next time, Baluchi might consider some more standard ways of travel. Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Flight from hell goes viral as Delta passenger smears feces on seat – Dexerto
Flight from hell goes viral as Delta passenger smears feces on seat Reddit: hngon83Passengers on a Delta flight had a crappy experience after a flier suffered from explosive diarrhea that ended up covering their entire seat and stinking up the cabin. It seems like there’s no end to wild airport antics these days. From fliers claiming their fellow passengers “aren’t real” in viral meltdowns to entire sections of a plane coming off mid-flight, flying is looking less and less appealing to many travelers. However, some of the most shocking plane-related stories are the ones dealing with stinky situations when passengers have a poo-mergency mid-flight. For instance, one plane had to make an emergency landing after a passenger suffered from “biohazard diarrhea” that got smeared all down the aisle of the craft. Now, another funky kerfuffle is going viral after a Delta passenger recounted one of the “more memorable” flights they’d ever experienced. Passenger poos all over seat in Delta flight to Key West In a viral post on Reddit, user ‘hngon83’ claimed they were on a Delta flight to Key West, Florida on Christmas Eve when they began to smell something unpleasant about 20 minutes into their journey. After asking if their 8-year-old daughter had passed gas (who “denied any wrongdoing”), the flight continued on while the smell “lingered” in the cabin. Once they landed and passengers exited the craft, the poster claimed they saw a spot eight rows in front of them where someone “sh*t all in their seat.” According to the poster, “the bottom of the seat and the back was covered” in feces. “This person had set in their sh*t for a good hour and then departed into Atlanta airport covered in sh*t,” they recounted. “Definitely a first for me.” A few other commenters claimed to be on the same flight, with one user replying, “I was waiting for someone to post this. If so, I was on the same row, [and the] person was on the left aisle seat, we were at the right side (middle and window). Upon deplaning, [I] saw sh*t on the seat spread out like peanut butter as you mentioned, YUCK! Saw the person scampering towards the restrooms. Even before boarding, the plane smelled weird, some kind of fishy smell.” While there’s no way to confirm if the poster’s story, or the accompanying replies, were true, the post has racked up over 15K upvotes since being posted on January 2 as shocked commenters roll in with their own horror stories of crappy flights.

Flight canceled after passenger “defecates on the floor” causing chaos – Dexerto
Flight canceled after passenger “defecates on the floor” causing chaos Twitter/X: kittystreekxAn easyJet flight was canceled after hours of delays when a flier “defecated on the floor,” causing “chaos” in yet another poo-related air travel incident. It seems like air travel is getting more and more chaotic these days as passengers report increasingly jaw-dropping incidents from their flight experiences that go viral online. One of the most shocking of these situations happened after a flight going from Atlanta to Barcelona was grounded when a flier suffered from “biohazard” diarrhea, running all the way up and down the aisles of the aircraft. The incident took over social media, leaving users in disbelief at the person’s unfortunate accident — but now, another ‘crappy’ situation has caused a plane to ground early just a month later. Passengers forced off plane after flier poos on the floor On October 15, an easyJet flight headed from Tenerife, Spain to London Gatwick was thrown into “chaos” after a passenger “defecated” on the floor of the aircraft. Photos and videos from the incident that were shared online show squares of toilet paper strewn across the aisle, with one clip featuring a PA announcement from the captain explaining the ordeal. “…rather than entertaining to defecate in the front toilet, so we’re now staying the night here, we’re now going to get everyone off… and organize hotels, then we’ll fly back tomorrow morning,” the captain said. According to reports from The Sun and statements from fliers, passengers had already dealt with hours of delays beforehand, making the situation that much crummier. Although fliers were offered accommodations on a smaller plane and a £500 voucher, reports state that passengers declined this proposal, experiencing even more delays while employees worked to swap their luggage to another flight headed for Gatwick. A spokesperson for easyJet addressed the situation, saying the company “did all possible to minimize the impact of the disruption for our customers, providing hotel accommodation and meals, and the flight is due to depart this afternoon. “The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority, and while this was outside of our control, we would like to apologize to customers for the inconvenience caused.” However, it looks like passengers on the flight were happy with how the crew handled the situation despite the ‘crappy’ ordeal. This is just the latest airplane drama to take over the net after a disruptive flier caused major delays, throwing a “tantrum” and insulting airline staff.

Flight expert dad reveals secret hack to get the whole family in business class – Dexerto
Flight expert dad reveals secret hack to get the whole family in business class TikTok: themothfamily / Unsplash: Alev TakilA dad on TikTok has revealed “one of the best-kept secrets about business class,” sharing how his whole family flies for free. Catching a flight with an economy ticket is not known to provide flyers much comfort, with cramped seating and a close-set environment. However, upgrading your seat comes with a hefty price tag — business class typically costing passengers three to four times as much as a ticket in economy. Luckily, one dad is now sharing on TikTok how his whole family flies in comfort without having to spend an extra cent out of pocket. Taking to the family TikTok account, ‘themothfamily‘, Jimmy said, “One of the best-kept secrets about business class is that no one pays for it. Well, I suppose they pay for it indirectly, but no one pays cash for business class.” It turns out the key to a free upgrade is point hacking, which involves opening credit cards and unlocking the limit to earn hundreds of thousands of frequent flyer points. “A credit card may offer 100,000 points for a $3000 spend limit. You apply for the card, spend the limit, and get 100,000 points, which will get you a business-class ticket from Perth to LA,” Jimmy explained, stating that all that was left to do after was “Rinse and repeat with other offers.” “The credit card companies rely on people not paying for their credit cards. So the few people that do take advantage of these points systems are so minuscule compared to the amount of people that just don’t pay credit cards off on time,” he continued. According to some viewers, however, there may be serious consequences to this hack; “This will absolutely tank your credit score, even if they’re all paid off. All credit inquiries except home loans, lower your score in [Australia].”

Flight attendant chased home by angry passenger: “I just had to worry about my life” – Dexerto
Flight attendant chased home by angry passenger: “I just had to worry about my life” Facebook: Elizabeth Braley / Unsplash: Adrian DascalA flight attendant took to TikTok to share the terrifying experience in which an upset passenger chased her home from the airport, claiming they tried to run her off the road. Working as a flight attendant may seem like the dream job for many. After all, you get to travel the world while being paid for it — what could go wrong? But a survey conducted by The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO (AFA) found some shocking statistics surrounding how often flight attendants have to deal with unruly passengers. 85% percent of flight attendants were found to have dealt with at least one unruly passenger in 2021, and 60% had encountered at least five incidents in the same year. Not to mention 17% of flight attendants reported incidents that ultimately became physical. Now one flight attendant has taken to TikTok to share her own terrifying experience that led beyond the confines of a plane and followed her home… Elizabeth Braley, who goes by ‘elizabethbraley4’ on TikTok, recounted the incident while sitting in her car, uniform still on and her eyes puffy from crying. “This red sedan pulls in front of my Jeep and, like, cut me off like with no notice — like literally was at the front of my car,” she said. “So I got into another lane because like she’s driving crazy.” However, the sedan continued to pursue Elizabeth, following her into whichever lane the terrified flight attendant took. “She was like literally trying to like run me off the road and we’re going 80 miles an hour… And I was like, ‘OK, screw this. I’m getting all the way to the right,’” Elizabeth said, revealing the sedan then pulled up beside her and shouted obscenities. Elizabeth recounted tearfully, “She goes, ‘F*** your airline’ and starts throwing s*** out of her car and it’s, like, hitting the side of my car.” Noting that American Airlines was “struggling with operations right now,” Elizabeth asked viewers to understand that “I have nothing to do with that. I just work for them… and we are so tired too, but like, really? I just don’t get why people are so cruel sometimes.” In a follow-up video, Elizabeth thanked viewers for their support and admitted she “couldn’t really react to get plates or call the cops” in the heat of the moment. “Moral of the story and like the point of posting that video was to just be kind because we as flight attendants do not have control over operations,” Elizabeth said. “When we’re sitting in the airport for a delay, we’re not getting paid. When we’re boarding, we’re not getting paid… we’re just people too.” For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

Flight attendant harassed by drunk soccer fans in shocking video Kennedy News and MediaA young Ryanair air hostess left viewers shocked after posting a TikTok video of the moment she was harassed by drunk soccer fans during a flight. Chloe Harrison was working the 2-hour 20-minute flight from Manchester, England to Barcelona, Spain, which was full of Manchester United supporters. The drunk men reportedly turned rowdy after alcohol was sold out, and they loudly began shouting crude chants about the flight attendant as she walked up and down the aisle. Chloe told Kennedy News that the men chanted “Get your t*ts out” and “Chloe’s got a nice arse.” One passenger even asked if she wanted to join him in the bathroom. “I walked to the back of the plane and looked and it was just full of men,” she recalled. “About halfway through the journey, I was walking down the aisles with a rubbish bag and I could hear something. I looked up and they were all looking at me. I was thinking, ‘Why are they all looking at me while they’re chanting?’ “We sold out of all the beer and all the vodka, they were all really drunk,” she told Kennedy News. “They kept asking for more drinks and coming up to the front. There’s nothing you can do in that situation, if they’re all standing up, you just have to tell them to sit down.” After the plane landed, Chloe said many of the rowdy fans continued to accost her. “They were all trying to leave through the back and ask for my Instagram and I kept telling them I don’t have it,” she said. “They were saying, ‘I’ll never forget you.’” The flight attendant recorded some of the men’s antics and posted them on TikTok, where many viewers were disturbed by what they saw. However, despite most people suggesting the men’s behavior was wrong, Chloe said it didn’t bother her as it was mostly “harmless” fun.

Those who have viewed the now-viral video also chimed in, leaving TikTokers with nothing but smiles and giggles. Five-year-old asks Alexa to order him “a lazy river that’s 45 feet around” After his five-year-old son bought about $1,000 worth of toys and a $500 hot tub from Amazon, Boham assembled an explainer video on TikTok revealing the hilarious moment that his toddler ordered a plethora of items via Alexa. Though Boham was quite entertained from going through the two-hour Alexa audio of his son, he did urge his fellow TikTok parents to disassemble the smart system before leaving children around it unattended. Sure, Boham may have had a large bill to pay, but his son had the time of his life ordering things like, “a lazy river that’s 45 feet around.” Or better yet, the rocket ship that “goes five-trillion miles per hour and five-trillion feet off of the ground.” Boham’s toddler even asked Alexa to add “45 kid spidey walkie-talkies” to his cart. Not to mention, the “122 water slides” he prompted the device to buy. Those who viewed Boham’s TikTok video thought the situation was hilarious, taking to the comments to share their reactions, saying, “Lmao, this kid had a time on Amazon!” While another shared a similar experience, saying, “My 4-year-old bought himself a throw pillow that said ‘Liam is kinda a big deal around here’ on Alexa Fire in the kitchen. Luckily it was only $12.” Though Boham didn’t exactly report on what he kept and returned, he did say that his one regret was not keeping the hot tub. And although the accidental shopping spree was costly, Boham now has an adorably funny archive full of commentary for him and his son to look back on and laugh at.

Five Twitch and YouTube streamers who should guest star on Impractical Jokers – Dexerto
Five Twitch and YouTube streamers who should guest star on Impractical Jokers Pixabay/DrDisrespect/xQc/Amouranth/TurnerThe hit hidden camera prank show ‘Impractical Jokers’ will go without host Joe Gatto for the upcoming season, replacing the series mainstay with celebrity guests. Here are five Twitch and YouTube streamers who would be perfect for filling his void on the show. Impractical Jokers is one of the most popular shows on TV since its debut in 2011. The series features four comedians in the form of James ‘Murr’ Murray, Brian ‘Q’ Quinn, Sal Vulcano and, until recently, Joe Gatto. The four are tasked with performing a series of absurd and embarrassing challenges, often involving unsuspecting members of the public. Following Gatto’s departure from the show, Turner announced that special guests would be replacing him in new episodes, with each featuring a new celebrity. As such, there is a lot of speculation as to who these guests will be. Here are five Twitch and YouTube stars we want to see make their way on the program in its tenth season, and even possibly beyond. Dr Disrespect Getting the two-time to interact outlandishly with complete strangers in New York City while wearing his signature mullet, red vest, and shades is something I didn’t know I needed in life, but I do. Imagine Dr Disrespect – the most intense, freak of nature gamer on the planet – staring down an old lady in central park and asking her to hold his pet rock while he makes a call on his flip phone. The idea alone is too good to pass up. While Impractical Jokers may not be the best place to show off one’s violence, speed and momentum, Doc’s larger-than-life persona would be a welcome addition. xQc The biggest name on Twitch making an appearance on Impractical Jokers? Count me in. That is, if everyone else is capable of understanding him. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is no stranger to having some bizarre IRL broadcasts, and some of his antics would be a shoo-in for the truTV spectacle. After all, the former Overwatch League pro did ask a stream sniper’s mom for money to ride a Ferris wheel – something that could very well be a challenge. The French Canadian has become a household name in his years on Twitch and could help bridge the gap between online and offline viewing. Plus, he could probably react to himself on the show later on. Win-win! Amouranth Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is probably going to just end up buying Turner Broadcasting at some point in her career, so why not just let her appear on Impractical Jokers now? As we’ve seen from her in-person interviews, podcasts, and documentaries, she has the comedic chops and witty sense of humor to share the screen with Sal, Murr, and Q. To top things off, some of Amouranth’s investments could end up being incorporated – such as having some of the cast work in her 7-Eleven location or do something with inflatable pool toys. The possibilities are endless. MrBeast If you saw MrBeast’s insanely viral Squid Game video, you know exactly where I’m going with this. Completely over-the-top challenges and some big cash for unsuspecting participants. Combining MrBeast’s incredible knack for quality challenges with the absurdity of Impractical Jokers, there is room for something truly amazing if he were to join forces with the crew. Also, considering the fact he’s on his way to surpassing PewDiePie in terms of YouTube subscribers, an appearance on the program could be what he needs to finally overtake the Swede. The Botez Sisters This last one is a bit of a cheat considering there are two of them, but Alexandra and Andrea Botez have proven that chess isn’t their only forte. The Envy duo’s Twitch shenanigans have been quite the spectacle. From asking troll questions during the World Chess Championship to nearly setting their streamer house on fire within a day of moving in, they’d be a perfect fit for Impractical Jokers. Hopefully, we end up seeing some familiar faces on the show in the years to come and leave their mark on one of TV’s favorite programs.

Five things we learned from TikTok’s first ever grilling by politicians – Dexerto
Five things we learned from TikTok’s first ever grilling by politicians PixabayDespite repeatedly declining to testify in front of Congress – which may partly have contributed to the situation that has seen TikTok forced to give away 20% of its company to Oracle and Walmart in the oddest business deal of the year – TikTok was quizzed by politicians in the UK. The Digital, Culture, Media and Sports Committee, a collection of politicians akin to a UK version of a Congressional hearing, questioned Theo Bertram, TikTok’s European head of public policy, for more than 90 minutes on September 22. There was a lot of heat, some light – and plenty of light relief, as the politicians showed they struggled to understand some key elements of the app and its technology. Here’s what we learned. Where is TikTok storing UK user data? In response to @DamianGreen, TikTok responded that data was stored in the US and Singapore. We were questioning TikTok as part of our ‘Online Harms & the Ethics of Data’ inquiry. Watch in full: https://t.co/wojWToSyM6 pic.twitter.com/JdDIDu5QXm — Culture, Media and Sport Committee (@CommonsCMS) September 22, 2020 1.6 million videos are posted on TikTok in the UK alone every day In response to questioning from politicians, Bertram told the committee that in the first six months of 2020, TikTok users in the UK posted more than 300 million videos to the app – equating to 1.6 million every single day. That’s a huge number, though perhaps not surprising: we know from leaked information published by Business Insider that an estimated five million videos are uploaded every hour worldwide. Nearly half of TikTok’s UK employees are content moderators The app published its transparency report just two hours before the hearing began, showing that 105 million videos were taken down from the platform in the first six months of 2020 for violating its policies. That’s done through a combination of machine learning and human moderation – and we learned for the first time that 363 content moderators are employed by TikTok in the UK alone, out of 800 total employees. One MP may have inadvertently admitted to looking at Steve Brine, MP for Winchester, had an interesting line of questioning for Bertram. “Flicking through the TikTok feed this morning before the session, you know, it’s what my mother would have called ‘trashy’,” he said. “There’s lots of content where mother and daughter… pushing their tushy, if you know what I mean. There’s lots of sexualised content in a clever way. There’s people jumping off piers into the water. Are we not better than that as a society?” Bertram didn’t point out that the videos served on TikTok’s For You page are determined by a user’s past engagement with similar videos. MPs don’t know the difference between MAC addresses and Mac computers “TikTok has been accused of accessing information on people’s Apple Macs, on their iPads, on their iPhones,” began one question from another MP, 62-year-old Clive Efford. Read More: How to get the anime filter on TikTok – “I think the thing you’re referring to is the MAC, which is not actually the Apple Mac,” Bertram kindly corrected in response. “MAC is a feature that allows you to identify the device.” Bertram doesn’t always like the laws TikTok has to follow Much of the MPs’ questioning focused on whether Bertram approved of China’s state policies towards Uyghur Muslims, who are oppressed and brutalised by the Chinese state, or its censorship of student protests at Tiananmen Square in 1989. The questions were designed to identify the issue with TikTok’s Chinese roots. But more interestingly, Bertram also admitted that the requirement to follow laws elsewhere gives him pause. Asked by John Nicholson MP about whether he was happy TikTok acceded to requests to take down LGBTQ+ content in Russia, Bertram said he agreed. “ The Russian law is terrible,” he said. “I think our communities does, too, and they strongly voice that on the platform. But we unfortunately have to comply with legal requests in the countries we operate.”

Five reasons why Dr Disrespect is better than Shroud – Dexerto
Five reasons why Dr Disrespect is better than Shroud Dr Disrespect one of the biggest Twitch streamers on the platform, but is he better than shroud? It’s up for debate but here are five reasons he is better. The rivalry between shroud and Dr Disrespect is arguably one of the biggest across all of Twitch. The two streamers regularly take jabs at each other during their streams whether it’s making fun of an injury, looting speed or something else. Doc and shroud always have something to say about each other and that’s what keeps the friendly rivalry between the two exciting. Shroud might have the edge over Doc in subs and viewers but that doesn’t mean he is a better streamer. There are numerous reasons Dr Disrespect is just flat out better than shroud but let’s take a look at five reasons for now. Dr Disrespect’s production value on Twitch is unmatched Thanks to the work behind the scenes from Alex, Dr Disrespect’s production value of his stream is miles ahead of shroud, and pretty much every other streamer on Twitch. Whether it’s him appearing in a portal while playing Apex Legends or having his head stick out of a cannon in Sea of Thieves, the Doc has a scenario for pretty much anything. Longtime viewers might even remember RoboDoc, his PUBG persona that has since been pretty much retired. Outside of that, he also has the different scenes he can switch to which include the rooftop of the Twitch headquarters, his trophy room or his garage filled with Lamborghinis, just to name a few. Alex always has something cooking behind the scenes for members of the Champions Club. Speaking of which… Shroud doesn’t even have a name for his subs If shroud really is the face of Twitch now and has the most subs on the site, then why doesn’t he have a name for his subs? Doc has had two cool names for his subs now – The Slick Daddy Club and now the Champions Club – while shroud can’t be bothered to come up with a name as simple as the shroudites or something. The Doc will regularly mention how many million viewers he has watching him in the arena while shroud just refers to his viewers as ‘chat’ which isn’t nearly as cool. Doc will always tell you how he feels One hell of day in the arena. Am I right @shroud? pic.twitter.com/JUVisFpf0W — Dr Disrespect (@drdisrespect) March 27, 2019 If there’s one thing about Dr Disrespect, it’s that he is never one to pull any punches. He has always given an honest opinion on a game he’s playing and takes frequent shots at the AAA gaming industry. Doc knows a thing or two about how things work behind the scenes of videos games since he used to be a developer himself. Take a look at this rant he had about Firestorm, Battlefield V’s battle royale mode. Doc took aim at the EA published title, one publisher he is an outspoken critic of, and that’s certainly not the last rant he’ll go on. Don’t even get him started on Fortnite. Nobody is more entertaining to watch than Doc Many will argue that the two-time back-to-back Blockbuster gaming champion is washed up competitively but he can certainly stake his claim as the king of entertainment on the platform. Doc will always have something yell about or some scene to transition to that will keep viewers entertained. If you go directly from his stream into shroud’s you’ll certainly be disappointed with the result. Shroud is often found leaning back in his chair playing games without much chat interaction. There are moments will shroud does share emotion but it doesn’t happen as often as it does on Doc’s channel, which is disappointing if that’s what you’re looking for in a streamer. Black on Blackberry G FUEL If shroud is so popular then why doesn’t he have his own G FUEL flavor? There aren’t a whole lot of streamers out there that have their own flavor but Doc managed to make the cut since he is a step above his competition. Doc has the Black on Blackberry flavor which is definitely something blackberry fans would be fans of. It’s even rumored that this G FUEL flavor is the reason he has a 37-inch vertical leap. If you want to find out more about shroud, take a look at the five reasons he’s better than Doc. Who do you think is better, shroud or Dr Disrespect? Let us know @Dexerto on Twitter.

Five reasons why Shroud is better than Dr Disrespect – Dexerto
Five reasons why Shroud is better than Dr Disrespect Twitch streamers regularly do battle in-game, on-stream and in-person, but when it comes to pitting two against each other there’s no better rivalry than shroud and Dr Disrespect. With that being said, here’s five reasons why shroud is the superior of the two. Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek has risen to the top of Twitch through hard work, dedication and by wowing his fans with ridiculous plays in shooter game after shooter game. While some observers would call him the current face of the streaming platform, others, including Dr Disrespect himself, would disagree and point elsewhere. The Doc has an incredibly loyal cult following after dedicating a huge part of his life to building a strong internet personality and pulling off some high-level plays in games, but he still lags behind shroud in other areas. Let’s look at the five reasons why shroud is better than Dr Disrespect… A wider, and better, variety of on-stream games The pair do play a number of titles that may overlap in the battle royale arena, but the Canadian’s variety is better. Yes, he may stick to a title that he enjoys – with the current example being Apex Legends, but he isn’t afraid to dip his toes elsewhere and has shown off his range with games like The Sims and Jurassic World: Evolution in the past. Read More: NBA 2K? Come on. Shroud had a better competitive career Shroud’s career as an esports athlete helped him elevate his standing on the streaming platform. The Doc may be the two-time, back-to-back, Blockbuster video gaming champion, but shroud lasted longer as a competitive athlete. He also racked up more prize money and has his own in-game spot named after him in CS:GO. The Canadian was also able to balance his relative success in competition with his growing success on Twitch. Can the Doc claim that one? Absolutely not. Twitch was a far-out, alien concept when he was claiming his trophies. Shroud has more subscribers Shroud has dominated Twitch in 2019, thanks in large part to streamers like Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins stepping aside and doing other things – but the former CS:GO pro has worked hard for it. He hit 100,000 subscribers back in early March and has blown away the competition ever since – despite suffering a horrific arm injury in a scooter accident. The Doc lags severely behind in the sub count and it’s not even an argument. An easy point for shroud. Shroud dominates The Doc in head-to-head battles Whenever shroud and The Doc have clashed, it’s the former CS:GO pro who usually comes out on top. Be it in PUBG, Fortnite, Blackout, or Apex Legends, you can almost count on shroud picking off the Doc at some point on his way to the top prize. The Doc may have gotten one or two over shroud during Code Red and Twitch Rivals tournaments, but more often than not, he’s the one left with embarrassed when Shroud and his teammates pick him off with yet another headshot. Shroud’s comedic ability While it may not be a wholly serious reason, it’s a good point to make. Shroud’s comedic ability, when he’s being sarcastic or deadpan is pretty incredible – and can come off better than the Doc’s rage or planned segments. Shroud may not sing or dance on stream like the Doc does, but when he takes verbal aim at someone, they know about it. Even the Doc himself has recently been on the receiving end of one of shroud’s burns and left him speechless. If you want to find out more about the Doc, take a look at the five reasons he’s better than shroud. Who do you think is better, shroud or Dr Disrespect? Let us know @Dexerto on Twitter. –
