Title: YouTube Star Jack Doherty Involved in Violent Confrontation at Halloween Party in Los Angeles
Subtitle: Altercation with fellow influencer Corinna Kopf leads to security guard throwing a punch
Los Angeles, October 28, 2023 – YouTube sensation Jack Doherty found himself in the midst of controversy on Friday night after a heated altercation at a Halloween party in Los Angeles. The 20-year-old social media star, accompanied by rapper Blueface, attended the star-studded event organized by fellow internet personality David Dobrik. However, the celebration took an ugly turn when Jack confronted fellow influencer Corinna Kopf over a perceived snub.
Dressed as a Hooters waitress, Jack and his entourage caught the attention of security guard Kane Kongg, who approached the group. Caught on camera, Jack can be heard telling Kongg to “chill.” Although Kongg initially backed off, the situation escalated when a member of Corinna’s entourage allegedly said something provocative, leading the security guard to throw a punch that resulted in a physical altercation.
Jack wasted no time sharing a short clip of the incident on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). “My security just knocked out a guy live on my kick…” he posted. However, a longer version of the events, shared by user Fear Buck, sheds more light on the altercation, revealing that Kongg initially backed off after being confronted by Corinna and another woman in superhero attire.
This is not the first time Kongg has been involved in a violent confrontation. In 2019, he was caught on video punching a fan who got too close to rapper Da Baby while he was performing. Kongg justified his actions at the time, stating that he was just doing his job. The security guard has not yet made any public comments regarding the recent altercation.
Following the incident, Jack received criticism from some social media users, especially in posts featuring his collaboration with fashion retailer Fashion Nova. Detractors condemned his actions, with comments such as, “Have fun in jail lol” and “Can’t wait until you get prison time.” However, there were supportive voices as well, praising Jack and dismissing the negative comments as racial bias.
As of now, there have been no reports of possible police charges in relation to the altercation. The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by social media stars in maintaining their public image amidst controversies and confrontations.
The Halloween party, which hosted a star-studded lineup, including entertainment by Snoop Dogg, showcased the dark side of fame and the potential consequences of altercations among influencers. The incident has sparked discussions regarding the responsibility of security personnel at such events and the impact of social media on public perceptions of online personalities.
In an age where every move is recorded and scrutinized, it is crucial for influencers to maintain composure and find peaceful resolutions to conflicts, ensuring a positive environment for themselves and their followers.
