Brent Rivera apologizes after confrontation with YouTuber over \u201cfake\u201d pranks in viral video YouTube: Tyler Oliveira \/ TikTok: Brent RiveraYouTuber and TikTok star Brent Rivera has issued an apology to fans after being confronted by influencer Tyler Oliveira at a hotel, who accused him of \u201cfaking\u201d his prank videos. Brent Rivera is a hugely popular figure on YouTube, where he boasts over 25 million subscribers. Similarly, he\u2019s also garnered a massive fanbase on TikTok, where he\u2019s raked in over 46 million followers. Rivera\u2019s videos mostly center around pranks and over-the-top challenges, such as spending the night in the \u201cworld\u2019s weirdest hotels\u201d or pranking his friends with a \u201cfake muscle suit\u201d by pretending he suddenly got shredded in the gym. Despite his impressive viewership, not everyone is a fan of Rivera\u2019s content. In February 2022, Rivera was confronted by fellow YouTuber Tyler Oliveira, who approached him and his buddies while they were staying at the Stanley Hotel, famous for inspiring Steven King\u2019s horror novel \u2018The Shining\u2019 (and its movie adaptation). Brent Rivera confronted by YouTuber over \u201cfaked\u201d videos Oliveira uploaded their confrontation to YouTube, which has racked up nearly 1 million views in about ten days. At the very beginning of the video, he walked out of his room to see two women from Rivera\u2019s team dressed up as twin girls from The Shining, who explained that they were pulling a prank on their friends for a video. After introducing himself to Rivera and his group, he then accused the YouTuber of faking his videos and \u201cstealing everyone\u2019s ideas,\u201d and clashed with the team several times despite Rivera\u2019s protests. At one point, Rivera told Oliveira to \u201chave fun with your 100 subscribers,\u201d prompting a few comments from Oliveira about Rivera\u2019s attitude as a high-profile creator. Eventually, hotel security got involved due to complaints of \u201charassment\u201d from Rivera and his friends. When Oliveira stepped outside his room after the initial confrontation, he once again verbally clashed with Rivera and co., resulting in security telling him to leave the premises and even getting local law enforcement involved. Brent Rivera speaks out after viral confrontation over \u201cfaked\u201d videos Several days later, Rivera told his side of the story on TikTok, claiming that the hotel had \u201cchosen to call the police\u201d to de-escalate matters and claiming that he \u201cwasn\u2019t proud\u201d of how he reacted to the situation. \u201cAs the night went on, he continued to approach us with his camera, saying awful things about me, my friends, and my sister to try and get a rise out of me for his video,\u201d Rivera explained. \u201cAt a certain point, it bubbled up so much that I did what he wanted. I stooped down to his level and I said something I should not have said.\u201d \u201cHis actions toward us and other guests on the tour caused the hotel staff, not me, to call security,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe was warned several times by the hotel staff to not only leave us, but other guests and hotel staff alone.\u201d Thus far, both Rivera\u2019s and Oliveira\u2019s fanbases have been supportive of their favorite creators, and neither creator has spoken out about the situation further since then (although Oliveira took a few more shots at Rivera in his most recent video).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
