    YouTube Star and Animal Advocate Mikayla Raines Dies by Suicide Following Intense Online Bullying, Husband Speaks Out

    Mikayla Raines, a beloved YouTube creator and founder of the Save A Fox rescue center, tragically died by suicide after years of relentless online bullying, her husband revealed. The 29-year-old Minnesota mom was known for her deep passion for animal welfare and her devoted community of 2.45 million subscribers.

    In a heartfelt video shared on YouTube, Ethan Frankamp spoke openly about the pain caused by an ongoing “online bullying campaign” from people close to Mikayla and others in the animal sanctuary community. He described the devastating moment he found her and his desperate attempts to save her life.

    Mikayla had long battled borderline personality disorder, autism, and depression, but the recent criticism deeply affected her mental health. “She felt as if the entire world had turned against her,” Ethan said, adding that the emotional toll became unbearable.

    Despite the heartbreak, Ethan is committed to preserving Mikayla Raines’ legacy and continuing her mission at Save A Fox. “She was never in it for fame or money,” he said, per the NY Post. “Her selflessness and love for animals inspired so many.”

    He urged anyone struggling with hopelessness to reach out for help and called on those spreading harmful rumors to stop. The tragic loss highlights the destructive impact of online harassment on mental health.

    Quadriplegic YouTube Sensation Charged With Two Counts of Battery On Miami Police Officer

    A popular YouTube personality who happens to be quadriplegic has found himself in legal trouble. Bryant Amastha, known as El Valien-T on YouTube, has been charged with two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, reports the Daily Mail. 

    The incident involved Amastha striking a Miami cop with his wheelchair and allegedly spitting at her. However, Amastha firmly denies these allegations and has provided a different account of what transpired. When asked if he did it, Amastha told Local 10 News,

    “I absolutely did not.”

    The incident took place at Amastha’s residence in the Quail Heights area of southwest Miami-Dade on Wednesday, during a heated argument with his mother. As stated in the police report, Amastha became increasingly agitated when his mother was arrested.

    “The officer, she bumped my wheelchair because I was standing in the driveway, and the driveway is thin,”

    Amastha said.

    “I suffer from acid reflux, so I normally spit. And I spat in a totally different direction,”

    Amastha said regarding the spitting incident. He said that the officers injured him during his arrest when they handcuffed him and forcefully put him in a squad car.

    “They manhandled me,”

    Amastha told the outlet.

    “They tried to cuff me with my hands behind my back, which I can’t do.” 

    Despite probable cause, the judge released Amastha on his own recognizance, deeming him not a flight risk. The judge also ordered him to avoid contact with the officer involved. Amastha, a popular Colombian artist and producer, 

    has a large social media following and shares music videos on YouTube.

    YouTuber Shot In Abdomen While Filming Prank Video In Virginia Shopping Mall

    A Virginia content creator was shot over the weekend while attempting to film a practical joke for his prank-themed YouTube channel, Law And Crime reports.

    On Sunday, April 2nd, 21-year-old Tanner Cook was being filmed inside the Dulles Town Center shopping mall, when he approached a man who was not interested in participating in their joke. Rather than asking to not be filmed, the suspect responded by shooting Cook in the torso.

    “They were making a video at the mall and trying to have fun with people and this guy wasn’t having fun,” explained Jeramy Cook, the victim’s father. “There was a phone that was around him, and they were interviewing or talking to him, and he didn’t like it and he pulled out his gun and shot my son.”

    As Cook was transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for his injuries, deputies from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office arrested Alan W. Colie. The 31-year-old is now facing charges of aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within a building.

    Cook underwent surgery to repair his liver and stomach, and currently remains in the hospital, where he is expected to fully recover. Despite his injuries, he intends to continue filming for videos for his YouTube channel once he’s back to full health. Due to the investigation, the footage of the encounter has been handed over to investigators.

  • Man Who Spent $14K To Fulfil His Dream Of Becoming A Dog Is Now Worried That His Friends Will Think It’s ‘Weird’ 

    Man Who Spent $14K To Fulfil His Dream Of Becoming A Dog Is Now Worried That His Friends Will Think It’s ‘Weird’ 

    A Japanese man, Toco, has been very candid about his life as a

    “giant dog;”

    however, fears that his friends may think it’s strange. Toco purchased a human-sized collie costume, from a company established in 1984 called Zeppet, which makes robots and animatronics. The collie-inspired suit cost Toco two million Yen, which is equivalent to $14,871.99. 

    Toco wears the suit a few times per month to fulfill his dream of

    “becoming an animal,”

    which has always been a childhood imagination of his. He has YouTube channel where he shows himself learning how to train, eat and play like a dog. However, when reflecting on the opinions of others, he says he barely opens up to his friends about that portion of his life. He told the Mirror,

    “I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird. My friends and family seemed very surprised to learn I became an animal.”

    He went on to reflect on his long desire of being an animal, he explained,

    “Since childhood, I have had this unspecific fantasy of becoming an animal. I wonder whether it was a desire for transformation.” 

    The Japanese man can be seen raising his paws and walking like a dog as well as rolling over for stomach rubs on social media. Toco also learned how to eat fake dog food and says he appreciates

    “doing things that only dogs do”

    because he feels as if he is a decent pet.
