Tony Lopez under fire for ignoring harassment claims amid Twitter return Instagram: Tony LopezAfter several TikToks documenting alleged sexual harassment of minors by influencer Tony Lopez went viral, people looked for Lopez to address the rumours. He\u2019s back posting on social media without mentioning the allegations, and many people are angry. Over the past few weeks, several girls as young as 15 have emerged to allege that TikTok star Tony Lopez had messaged them inappropriately via a private snapchat. In messages to one girl he said: \u201cyour face is kissable\u201d and called her \u201cbaby.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/kopcillaa\/status\/1292206219407396869?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1292206219407396869twgr&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmenttiktok-star-tony-lopez-accused-of-inappropriate-messages-sent-to-minors-1405556 While some defended Lopez, many called for the authorities to be brought in due to the sheer volume of accusations that were being made, and the amount of evidence involving screenshots and recordings that was mounting. Stop it he is human I hope he did not do it but if he did stop mistakes happen \u2014 Wynter (@Wynter47488787) July 15, 2020 wow. okay at this point the authorities need to be involved, i understand the police may victim-blame, especially against an influencer with so much money and such a big platform, but there are too many girls at this point for this not to be dealt with by the authorities \u2014 ? (@ncim455) August 13, 2020 On August 9, Lopez tweeted: \u201cI\u2019ve got a lot to talk about,\u201d which many took as a sign that he has acknowledged the allegations and was planning on speaking out about them. Following this tweet and a message to his fans saying \u201cI love you guys, stay happy,\u201d he went silent on Twitter. That is until August 14 when he began tweeting again, though it wasn\u2019t the explanation that people were anticipating. Instead of addressing the allegations, he posted tweets about his general life, including comments such as: \u201cWhy am I awake I need to sleep,\u201d and \u201cI ate too much food today.\u201d The response in the replies to his tweet was mixed. Fans still insisted that he should \u201cnot care about the haters\u201d and that they \u201cmissed [him] so much.\u201d Others told him to \u201caddress it and apologize\u201d for \u201cgo[ing] after 15-year-old girls.\u201d TONYYYY!!!!! Weve missed you so much! If you\u2019re reading this, just know the copters love you with everything we have. I understand you took a little break which is understandable, but I just wanted you to know that. I know social media is so toxic and overwhelming, but we love u \u2014 Hetti Jones (@Hetti_Jones) August 14, 2020 It\u2019s currently unclear whether or not Lopez and his team are handling this behind the scenes, but tension is mounting as a direct explanation from the TikTok influencer becomes increasingly less likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
