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.

MrBeast Production Companies Sued Over Alleged Sexual Harassment, Emotional Distress

MrBeastYouTube and GameChanger 24/7, two production companies owned by YouTube star MrBeast, have been sued by a former employee, Lorrayne Mavromatis, who alleges having experienced sexual harassment, emotional distress, and pregnancy discrimination.

A federal complaint filed in North Carolina details the work culture under MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, in which Mavromatis claims she was “treated differently than her male counterparts,” including being dismissed from otherwise entirely male meetings. The documents suggest that this extended to the executive level and alleges that male employees exhibited “demeaning treatment towards women.” In one instance, the complaint alleges “male executives laughed and made jokes at the office about female contestants of BeastGames who complained they did not have access to feminine hygiene products and clean underwear while participating in the show.”

How Ibogaine Became the Darling of the Psychedelic Right

On a crisp November day in Aspen, Colorado, Rick Perry is stumping for iboga, a psychedelic shrub native to the Congo Basin rainforest in Central Africa known for producing powerful waking dreams. It is the heart of Bwiti, a centuries-old spiritual discipline primarily practiced in Gabon, and recently, the darling of the American psychedelic right. “ Take on the mantle of being the Johnny Appleseed of iboga, every one of you,” the former governor of Texas tells the audience while a delegation from Gabon watches impassively. “The medicine clearly showed me things that I’d never seen before,” Perry later tells me. “In the presence of God, I knew it — he loves me with great intensity. Pure white light.”

Inside the Multibillion-Dollar Business of Child Influencers

What is it like to live your entire life in front of an audience of millions — from your birth to potty-training to puberty to adolescence? For many child influencers, this is their reality. They are public figures before they are even born; both the milestones and the mundane moments of their lives are captured by their parents and sold as content. Though child influencers — and the mom influencers and family vloggers who prop them up — are part of the multibillion dollar influencing industry, until now, we haven’t known much about what it was like to be one. That’s what I’m changing with my book Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online. To answer these questions, I talked to kid influencers themselves, family vloggers, experts in the industry, digital ethicists, psychologists, and more.
