TikToker Chris Olsen Says He’s a Victim of Revenge Porn: ‘It’s Violating’

TikToker Chris Olsen Says He’s a Victim of Revenge Porn: ‘It’s Violating’

TikTok star (and Meghan Trainor’s best friend) Chris Olsen is speaking out about his experience dealing with revenge porn over the past few years. In a TikTok video earlier this week, Olsen revealed that he was targeted by an X account that shared intimate images without his consent.

“It’s nonconsensual. It’s violating. It’s fully abuse and illegal,” he said amid tears. “You are a criminal now if you’ve done that.”


Olsen said he first had intimate images leaked four years ago. He recounted how he made an account on Twitter and reached out to the person who posted the images, who allegedly responded by asking his followers to download the intimate photos before deleting them from his account.

“After that, I was basically done for,” he said. “I’m still dealing with this today… It never stopped.”

Olsen explained that intimate photo and video leaks “happen all the time” to influencers and celebrities, and nothing makes it OK. He also shared that some of the images seemed to be deepfakes or photoshopped to make them appear like they’re him.

“If you’re contributing to this, you’re contributing to a culture of abuse,” Olsen said in the video. “And to say that someone with a platform deserves this or should expect this because this is the job that we’ve chosen is absolutely insane.”

“I know people don’t like me. I know that. But can you please find a more creative way to hate on me than committing a crime?” he added. “I’ve made my point: This sucks. This is not fun.”

In the last two months, several high-profile individuals have been associated with revenge porn-related lawsuits. Hunter Biden sued Fox News on July 1 for publishing “intimate images,” and late last month, Diplo was sued for allegedly sharing videos of their sexual encounters without her consent.

What Really Happened in the Last Known Video of Nolan Wells: ‘It’s Me Yelling’

A moment that started out as a disagreement between Tracestin Shepherd and his girlfriend has been at the center of a swirl of questions about the tragic death of 18-year-old Mississippi football player Nolan Wells. The video posted to social media of a group of young people seemingly in a heated altercation has been believed to be the last time Wells was pictured or heard on video before his disappearance and death, which has made national news. But Shepherd, a close friend of Wells, says what really happened in the video isn’t how it’s been portrayed.

At around 3:30 p.m. on July 4, Shepherd says he was with a large group of friends from high school, including Wells, to celebrate the holiday. Shepherd and his family took a boat over to Horn Island, a barrier island off the coast of Mississippi, where he planned to meet up with Wells and some other friends from high school — the friends often took the 45-minute ride over to Horn Island on weekends to hang out and had been there since that morning.

America’s Toughest Workout Isn’t in a Gym — It’s on the Street

At a community park on Houston’s west side, two bare-chested men are mean-­mugging each other hard, their faces just inches apart, as a crowd howls “Let’s eaaaaaat!” around them. Any passerby on this overcast March afternoon could be forgiven for thinking a bareknuckle fight was about to go down. But this is a weighted-calisthenics battle, a one-­versus-one competition where athletes grind through a high-volume set of exercises ranging from pullups and dips on a bar to pushups, squats, and muscle-ups — an advanced move that combines the pullup and dip into one fluid motion. Within minutes, the full-throttle test of strength and stamina will have their hearts damn near bursting out of their chests and their palms torn to shreds.

The blistering noon heat is close to a hundred degrees, but the boys swarming the soccer arena seem to move with extra pace in their step. One-touch passing, feinting and ripping hard shots into a tattered net, each is super-charged by vivid daydreams of glory on the international stage.
