    Man Says A South Carolina Hotel Will Only Refund Him For Mold-Covered Hotel Room If He Takes Down His Viral TikTok Video

    A man took to TikTok to expose a South Carolina hotel that refused to refund him after he discovered mold and filth all over the room. 

    Brooks Strickland, who goes by thelilp500thatcould on TikTok has since garnered over 300,00 views on his video. The father said he had booked the Ocean Star Hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last minute after a beach day with his family.

    “I don’t recommend anybody staying in that hotel and really, it needs to be shut down until they can fix these issues,”

    Strickland says in the video. He then goes on to show the horrifying scene. In the video, Strickland records the mold on the bed skirts and comforters, water droplets dangling from the ceiling, a stained bed, and a toilet that he says is

    “pissed all over.”

    According to Strickland, when he brought his concerns to hotel employees they refused to refund him although he stayed in the room for just 10 minutes. Since posting the video, Strickland said the hotel owner contacted him offering him a full refund if he takes the video down. However, the owner said he would only give a refund under the condition that he takes the video down in

    “15 minutes,”

    after their phone call. 

    Strickland declined the offer he told a local NBC affiliate.

    “It just makes it look like it’s been going on for so long that they can just pay their way out of it, you know?”

    Strickland said.

    “If I was to say yes, how many other people have done this?”

    Kai Cenat rakes in $6000/hr with Popular NPC Trending

    Twitch Online sensation Kai Cenat has enthusiastically hopped on board the NPC TikTok trend (where creators act like robots), and the results have been nothing short of astounding. In just a single hour of TikTok Live streaming, Kai managed to rake in an incredible $6000 for the hour

    “We made $6000 sitting on our ass and going live on TikTok,”

    he revealed. NPC is short for an automated

    “non-player character”.

    This new viral phenomenon is known as NPC streaming, gaining viral popularity thanks to content creators like Pinkydoll, whose real name is Fedha Sinon. In the course of these live NPC broadcasts, viewers generously send monetary tips to the creator, and these contributions manifest on the screen as delightful cartoon gifts, such as an ice cream cone or a rose. The creator responds in real-time, expressing their reactions.

    The surge of NPC streamers is linked to the evolving definition of the term

    “NPC,”

    which has become a beloved piece of internet slang. Originally standing for

    “non-player character,”

    NPC is now used pejoratively to describe individuals who lack independent thought or action.

  • Woman Says She Made Makeup In Prison By Using Pepsi and Flour, Applied It By Using Tampon As A Brush

    Woman Says She Made Makeup In Prison By Using Pepsi and Flour, Applied It By Using Tampon As A Brush

    A woman who previously served 17 years behind bars revealed how she made her own makeup from scratch when she was locked up. Taylor uploaded a video to TikTok showcasing all of the ingredients she used to create foundation, which she made out of Pepsi, flour, and a hot cocoa mix. 

    In the video, Taylor showed viewers her process. The woman started by placing flour in a bowl. From there, she went on to add a cap size of Pepsi, which she explained helps the foundation stick to your face and should be added as needed while mixing. She then continued to add the hot cocoa mix and said that the amount of mix is dependent upon the person’s complexion. She said that if it looks too dark, more flour should be added. 

    Once the mixture’s texture is consistent, she said you can utilize a tampon to apply the foundation. She said,

    “If you want like a makeup brush, you would use a tampon and beat it in your face.” 

    Taylor then went on to apply the homemade foundation to her tattoo to showcase her creation and show its full coverage. 

    Taylor’s TikTok video has grown rapidly as the video has over 17 million views with more than 30,000 comments from TikTokers. One TikToker wrote,

    “Nah cause, why is it full coverage AND edible. I’m sold.” 

    Another person wrote,

    “This is definitely impressive. I’ve always said that our most talented people are being held down by the system.”

  • New Jersey Judge Under Fire After Posting TikTok Videos Of Him Lip-Syncing To ‘Explicit Lyrics’

    New Jersey Judge Under Fire After Posting TikTok Videos Of Him Lip-Syncing To ‘Explicit Lyrics’

    A New Jersey judge, who is apparently a fan of rap music, is facing serious backlash for posting his lip-syncing videos to TikTok in his courthouse chambers and some videos semi-nude in bed, according to a complaint made by the state Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct per The Post

    The committee put out a complaint accusing Judge Gary Wilcox, 58, of posting

    “inappropriate”

    content on TikTok. The committee claims the videos were

    “objectionable based on their content (profanity and references to violence, sex, and misogyny), location (the courthouse, his judicial chambers, or a bed), or his physical appearance (in his judicial robes and/or partially unclothed in bed).” 

    The judge reportedly posted 40 videos to his public TikTok account between April 2021 and March 2023.

    “By his conduct in posting these and similar videos to TikTok, respondent exhibited poor judgment and demonstrated disrespect for the Judiciary and an inability to conform to the high standards of conduct expected of judges. Such conduct undermines public confidence in the Judiciary,”

    the committee detailed in the 5-page complaint. 

    They also stated that Wilcox violated the judicial code of conduct which mandates judges

    “to conduct their extrajudicial activities in a manner that would not cast reasonable doubt on the judge’s capacity to act impartially as a judge, demean the judicial office, or interfere with the proper performance of judicial duties.”

  • Wig Dangling From Woman’s Trunk Mistaken For Person, ‘That’s My Weave!’

    Wig Dangling From Woman’s Trunk Mistaken For Person, ‘That’s My Weave!’

    A woman’s wig, that was seen sticking out the trunk of her car, prompted police to investigate after concerned onlookers reported what they believed to be a kidnapping or murder, NY Post reported. 

    Police showed up at Toria Townsend’s residence in Massillon, Ohio on suspicion of kidnapping, only to discover that the 30-year-old had just thrown hair extensions in her trunk. The comedic moment was captured on Townsend’s doorbell and posted to TikTok.

    “Oh my Jesus, that’s my weave!”

    Towsend responded seemingly embarrassed. 

    Townsend told officers she was in a rush to a hair appointment and threw the wig in the trunk, forgetting that it was there. A disturbed bypasser took a photo of the hair hanging out the trunk, along with the license plate, and sent it to the police.

    After reflecting on her ride home Townsend said it makes sense why she kept getting stares.

    “People kept mugging me and giving my dirty looks. I’m like, ‘Why did everyone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?’”

    Townsend told the outlet.

    Ford said in another video,

    “It ain’t about suing, it ain’t about infringement.  The thing is they took the concept…The concept is the same. The concept is, the bag being a normal paper bag being worn at leisure. That’s what they did. They took the concept of the bag….It’s the concept, not the actual bag itself. ”

  • College Student Records Moment She Realizes She Lost A $100,000 Scholarship Because She Forgot To Open The Letter, The College Saw Her Viral Video and ‘Made Her Dream Come True’

    College Student Records Moment She Realizes She Lost A $100,000 Scholarship Because She Forgot To Open The Letter, The College Saw Her Viral Video and ‘Made Her Dream Come True’

    A TikToker captured the shocking moment when she learned that she had overlooked an offer letter to one of her top three colleges that offered the graduate a six-figure scholarship. The video which has now garnered over 5 million views entered the hands of someone from the college who later honored the girl’s original scholarship, Insider reported.  

    A TikToker who goes by the name Luvlyymadiii posted her reaction to opening a letter she received from a college she applied to that happened to be an acceptance letter. The video captioned,

    “going through my unopened college acceptance letters from October after cleaning my closet.”

    The video then goes into showing Madi seemingly surprised after reading where the letter was from and what it said. In the next clip, Madi is seen looking into the camera with the caption that read,

    “shocked and angry.” 

    On the next screen caption, she revealed that she’d just opened an offer letter from one of her top three colleges that rewarded her with a $104,000 scholarship, but she had already accepted a spot at a community college instead because she couldn’t afford the tuition.

    Over 100 thousand TikTok users commented on the video, with many expressing empathy for Madi and some questioning why it took her so long to open such an important letter. 

    In a follow-up video, Madi said she had been applying to several colleges since the middle of her junior year in high school and had received over 300 acceptance letters from colleges in the mail.

    “It was impossible for me to open every single one of them,”

    she said as she opened up about being busy with schoolwork and having a job at the time.

    However, in the same upload, Madi announced that the school in question, Maryville College in Tennessee, had come across her video and called her up to say

    “they were gonna make my dreams come true”

    and said that they were going to still honor her scholarship.

    “I’m just so excited!”

    the TikToker said in the video.

    Dr. Alayne Bowman, vice president for admissions and financial aid at Maryville College, told Insider that she was the one who reached out to the TikToker,

    “and not only did the college ‘honor her scholarship’ they were also ‘thrilled to learn more about Madi and suggested some additional scholarships’ which Bowman said the TikToker had applied for, and was awarded,”

    reports state. 

    “We knew we could make this dream of hers come true,”

    she said.

  • Server Confronts Teens Who Wrote ‘Black’ On The Gratuity Line As A Joke

    Server Confronts Teens Who Wrote ‘Black’ On The Gratuity Line As A Joke

    A black waitress took to TikTok to blast a group of mainly white teens who decided to write a racist

    “joke”

    instead of a tip on their check.

    TikTok user, Amira (@being.amira), has garnered over 4 million views on her video where she addresses her encounter with a group of teenagers who thought it would be funny to write the word

    “Black”

    on the tip line of their $33 bill. 

    Amira claims the teenagers were

    “a little bit rude”

    while she was serving them. However, she continued to do her job but was shocked to see the receipt after closing out their tab. 

    “So I’m very confused, and then I look around, and the kids are still sitting outside just chilling, eating ice cream. So you know what I did? I went out there,”

    Amira said. The following clip shows her walking up to the group of teenage boys.

    “Hey guys, I just want a little bit of clarification. What does this mean?”

    she asked the group.

    “I don’t know,”

    one of the boys replied.

    “You don’t know what Black means?”

    Amira said. The boy originally speaking to Amira jumped in, alleging that he didn’t

    “mean”

    not to tip  and that he

    “didn’t know what that meant,”

    referring to the word

    “gratuity.”

    However, Amira still tried to pry the teens for answers on why they wrote

    “Black”

    and asked one of the boys if it was his favorite color. The teen said that’s what his friend told him to write.

    “Can I tip you?”

    the teen insisted, apparently feeling guilty about his and his friend’s actions.

    “If that’s what you want to do. I’m not begging you for a tip. I just want to know why you wrote Black on your check,”

    Amira answered. Amira is seen walking away after not getting through to the teens. Over 9,000 people commented.

    “They’re so bold until you confront them,”

    one user wrote in the comments.
