Willy Wonka under fire after filming TikTok with Tony Lopez Instagram: lopez_tony \/ willywonkatiktokA TikTok star who rose to viral fame after impersonating Willy Wonka has come under fire for filming a TikTok with Tony Lopez, after ongoing allegations that Tony sent inappropriate messages to minors. Allegations against 21-year-old TikToker Tony Lopez began back in August and since then multiple people have come forward online to allege that the star had behaved inappropriately with them, with many saying the behavior constitutes grooming. He responded to the accusations briefly in August when they first emerged, saying he was \u201cdisappointed in myself for them\u201d and promised he would make \u201cbetter, well informed decisions.\u201d In October he later went on to say \u201cno one knows the full story, and I have yet to speak about everything properly from my side of this whole thing.\u201d Willy Wonka, real name Duke, soared to global TikTok fame in the past year thanks to his eerily accurate impression of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory\u2019s Willy Wonka. He now has a substantial 17.5 million followers on the platform, and has become an influencer in his own right. However, Duke has now come under fire online after Tony Lopez posted a TikTok showing him, star Sarah Jade Bleau and Willy Wonka dancing together. https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@tonylopez\/video\/6907734190566001926?lang=en&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6891581267042141701&is_from_webapp=v2 The comments were flooded with criticism directed largely at Tony, however, Duke found himself the subject of a lot of disappointed comments beneath the video. \u201cNot Willy Wonka with a child groomer\u201d one commenter wrote, many others saying that their \u201crespect for Willy Wonka\u201d had gone down since seeing the video. However there were some fans defending Duke, saying \u201cguys please leave Duke alone, he is not perfect, all he is doing is hanging with a friend, we all know what Tony did but don\u2019t take it out on Duke.\u201d Duke has not yet responded to this backlash and the video remains live on Tony Lopez\u2019s account with over 900,000 likes at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
