In an uncensored interview with Chris Cuomo, TikTok influencer Baylen Dupree, known for using her platform to raise awareness about Tourette syndrome, surprised the host with her spontaneity and unpredictable tics. Throughout the conversation, the 21-year-old couldn’t help but utter involuntary obscenities and uncontrolled gestures as part of her condition, leading Cuomo to struggle to maintain his composure on his NewsNation show.

During the course of the interview, Dupree, who has 9 million followers, exhibited a series of involuntary tics that included insults and gestures toward Cuomo.

In one of the highlights, Dupree interrupted his own speech detailing the online harassment he has suffered since rising to fame to express how malicious people revealed his location and threatened to burn down his house. Dupree noted that such a level of hostility has required police intervention at his home, generating a reaction of bewilderment and concern from Cuomo.

Before the interview, Cuomo had admitted that he initially thought Dupree was a “great comedic actress” who was faking her disorder in search of attention. However, her perception changed and he decided to broadcast the interview live to showcase what he considered the young woman’s “bravery.” In fact, Cuomo began the interview by confessing to Baylen that he was part of the group of people who considered his actions to be completely voluntary, which sparked annoyance on the networks.
