Keith Lee responds to claims he stole disguise idea from TV producer TikTok: Keith_lee125,GylliWilli_Popular TikTok food critic Keith Lee has responded to claims that he stole the idea to use a disguise when picking up food from a TV producer that approached him in the past. Over the last few months, Keith Lee has taken TikTok by storm with his reviews of food from restaurants around Las Vegas, where he resides. Focusing on \u201cstruggling\u201d restaurants around the area, his videos have boosted the business of many local food stops in Las Vegas, with his most viral so far being Frankenson\u2019s Pizza. In his most recent video, Keith has responded to claims that he stole the idea to use a disguise when picking up food from a TV producer that approached him with the idea last year. TV Producer claims unnamed food critic \u201cstole\u201d her idea On January 22, A TikToker by the name \u2018GylliWilli\u2019 posted a video saying that she is a freelance TV producer that approached an unnamed content creator with a TV show idea. They said no, but \u201cstole\u201d the idea and are allegedly doing it anyway. GylliWilli posted the hashtag #FoodCriticAndThief in the description, and fans quickly began questioning whether she was talking about Keith. Keith Lee responds to GylliWilli video Keith Lee responded the next day, clearing the air regarding the situation. \u201cThere\u2019s some unnamed controversy going around and I keep getting brought up, and I had an interaction with the person that made this video so let\u2019s talk about it,\u201d he said before showing a clip of the original video. \u201cAs an Emmy award-winning producer, I would assume you know how dangerous labels \u2014 especially false labels \u2014 can be in the industry or in life in general[\u2026] For me personally, that is extremely detrimental and I don\u2019t like that. I don\u2019t play with that.\u201d He went on to explain that he replied to her after she left a comment on one of his videos, and revealed he had several other meetings before and after his meeting with her that all pitched the same idea. The pitch involved Keith dressing up in a disguise, going to pick up his food, and reviewing it just like he has been. He added: \u201cI had anywhere between two million and three million followers at the time she reached out to me, of course, I wasn\u2019t in disguise at that point. I personally was able to walk into restaurants and be treated the exact same, because not a lot of restaurants recognized me. Now, with 9.6 million followers it\u2019s almost impossible, that\u2019s why I [started] going into disguise.\u201d Keith also made it clear that he\u2019s also using it as a way to show how talented his sister is in regard to making his disguises, and hopes she might get the ability to do it full-time one day. He finished off his video by making it clear he didn\u2019t start using a disguise because of his interaction with the TikToker and that he doesn\u2019t appreciate her accusations. GylliWilli claims video wasn\u2019t about Keith Lee GylliWilli responded to Keith\u2019s video on January 24, making it clear she\u2019s not going to apologize for being frustrated and that she might \u201cfight\u201d for her idea, but that her video wasn\u2019t about Keith in the first place. The TikToker claims that her pitch to Keith Lee was just using his original content in a TV show format and that there was nothing for him to \u201csteal,\u201d and now followers of his have begun leaving hateful comments on her videos. Keith makes it clear in every video that he doesn\u2019t want to promote hate or have anyone leave hateful comments toward other creators or restaurants. He has yet to respond to her latest video, but we\u2019ll be sure to update this article when he does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
