“Dumb rich kid crashes really expensive car. More at 11”

Who cares?

And perhaps my least favorite part, aside from him walking away relatively unscathed, was that this shitty article goes on to just use other YouTubers and influencers for reaction quotes.

It’s like the they tried to directly convert a 90 second YT local news story, into an article.

In their defense, it’s way easier than doing actual journalism.

Global News is a terrible sensationalist rag. I’m sorry it’s managed to fester outside of Canada.

Imagine being so annoyed by someone you have zero obligation to pay attention to that you wish them physical harm.

You mean someone who’s endangering the lives of the public for views…?

Someone whose actions could have easily killed someone… for likes and hearts…?

For the record, I’m not annoyed by them, I detest them. Not for their job, but because of their actions, you know, like a normal person would.

Normal person would be glad no-one got hurt rather than wishing someone did.

If y’all don’t know how big of a piece of shit this kid is, it runs deep.

There’s a period of time where he would just taunt strangers to get into a confrontation, and then his bodyguard would step in.

Well, his bodyguard punched someone in the face and he’s getting sued like fuck.

He also is basically an only fans pimp. He gets 18-year-old girls drunk on yachts and gets them to sign contracts where they’ll do only fans content for a set fee per month while he takes all.

It’s truly amazing how big of a scumbag this kid is at such a young age.

No wonder kid needs a body guard, he’s gotta have one of the most punchable faces in the world. I give it 3 months until he catches a stray round to the dome for being a twat and the world can go back to not being aware of his existence.

Isnt signing a contract while being under the effects of alcohol make the contract invalid?

If not, why not? It feels like such an obvious thing so people dont sign contracts against their will

And now you need to prove that you were intoxicated out in international waters on this kids boat. Then you need to take him and his MacLaren money to court.

It’s low level extortion.

No, cancer kills healthy patients.

“influencer” I truly hate this word. It’s way overused. Like what is he influencing, markers flipping?

He influences his followers to buy products. An influencer is like a freelance marketer.

If you make your purchasing decisions on an “influencer’s” opinion, then man, do I have so many things to say about you.

“freelance marketer” is being too nice. They are billboards with legs and mouths.

McLarens are awesome cars, don’t let this guy ruin that. Besides, did you see that paint job? He just put the car out of its misery.

Glad the cameraman was okay; this guy shouldn’t be behind the wheel of anything.
