TikToker Avani Reyes mocked after \u201ccopying\u201d Gorilla Glue Girl for clout TikTok: avanireyesA TikToker has been mocked for appearing to copy the original \u201cGorilla Glue Girl\u201d incident for clout, after going through her own similar styling crisis. [jwplayer ZXB9LNVP] Tessica Brown, know better known as the \u201cGorilla Glue Girl\u201d, went viral on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter in early February after uploading a video of her explaining how she used Gorilla Glue spray instead of normal hairspray, showing off the disastrous results. The internet blew the video up: in less than 24 hours, it reached over 5 million views and 1.4 million likes on TikTok. Now, after a GoFundMe campaign, she\u2019s been to a hospital in Los Angeles for surgery to get it fixed. However, just days after the phenomenon, TikToker Avani Reyes, who has almost half a million followers, appeared to go through the exact same thing. Posting several videos to TikTok, Avani panicked about the gorilla glue she had put in her hair, saying \u201cI have no idea what to do, I\u2019ve tried washing it, it doesn\u2019t come off,\u201d and even filmed herself having a panic attack, and going to the emergency room at the hospital. After trying and failing to remove the glue with coconut oil, Avani said she had decided to start a GoFundMe to raise money for surgery in LA, with one user allegedly donating $3,000 according to a comment. While there is currently no trace of the campaign on Avani\u2019s social media, she claimed she had raised enough to fix her hair. However, commenters were quick to accuse Avani of putting glue in her hair as a stunt to get views or money, something Tessica herself was also accused of. One person wrote \u201cWe don\u2019t feel sorry for you,\u201d while another added, \u201cIt\u2019s the clout-chasing for me.\u201d Several others also accused Avani of doing it on purpose and wasting the time of nurses and doctors during a global health crisis. Meanwhile, the incident has somehow become a trend on TikTok with many attempting to disprove the effectiveness of Gorilla Glueas or, conversely raising awareness of the dangers that come with using the adhesive on your body to deter people from doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
