Internet star Jack Doherty, who recently crashed his $200,000 McLaren, leading to a ban from Kick, renewed controversy. Following his accident prompted by dangerously texting and driving while in wet weather, the 21-year-old was seen asking for money during a live stream on TikTok

In the absence of his now-infamous Kick page, Jack went on TikTok live on Monday (October 7), where he reportedly spent his time pushing for gifts.

Highlights
  • Jack Doherty crashed his $200,000 McLaren while texting and driving in the rain.
  • Post-accident, Jack asked for TikTok donations, sparking outrage.
  • Kick indefinitely banned Jack, with a $300,000 reinstatement demand.
  • Jack owns a fleet of cars including Lamborghini, Tesla, and Mercedes.
  • Jack expressed gratitude for surviving the crash with minor injuries.

TikTok gifts are virtual tokens viewers purchase as they watch live streams and scroll through posts. Users buy them with TikTok coins, which are part of the app’s thriving virtual currency system. 

TikTok coin price is equal to 1.4 US cents. Additionally, TikTok gifts can be converted to real money.

In a brief response to a question about crashing his McLaren, Jack gave his explanation for the accident, Dexerto reported on Tuesday (October 8).

“I hydroplaned,” the YouTuber said. “I literally hydroplaned. I’m in a McLaren in the pouring rain. What did you guys expect? You guys have never [driven] a McLaren.”

The McLaren that he crashed is just one of his fleet of fancy cars. His nearly $787,000 collection includes a Lamborghini Huracan, a Tesla Model X, and a Mercedes Sprinter Van.

The streamer made no mention of texting while driving or the speed at which the vehicle was traveling when the crash occurred, as per Dexerto.

Jack’s TikTok live sparked outrage, as a person explained on Reddit: “1 galaxy costs $20 to send and Jack receives roughly half of the value. The Tok pockets the rest.”

According to TikTok’s official page, a Galaxy on TikTok is a gift that costs about 1,000 coins, which is about 13 dollars and 50 cents. However, the creator does not get that full amount since TikTok takes a 50% commission.

The influencer’s live stream left many people bewildered, as a Redditor asked: “What does Jack even provide to his fans? I don’t understand how he’s so popular.”

Another Reddit user commented: “We’re living in the stupidest timeline.”

A person wrote: “This is actually sad. He was being a moron in the first place for texting while driving and then he milks his followers for more money. 

“He is also a millionaire so he can easily afford another car.”

Someone else penned: “It’s sad for humanity as a whole, but anyone giving them his money deserves to lose every cent given to him. 

“I certainly don’t feel bad for the people giving him money.”

A separate individual chimed in: “This kid is an absolute piece of s**t. He doesn’t deserve a damn penny. 

“Cares more about himself and views rather than his injured cameraman.”

On Saturday (October 5), Jack Doherty was captured crashing his supercar while live-streaming himself in the rain.

The accident took place while the content creator was cruising down a slippery highway in Miami, Florida, USA, in his $200,000 McLaren, Bored Panda reported on Monday.

A friend was filming in the passenger seat as the two were live-streaming on the platform Kick. Jack, who was captured using his phone behind the wheel, lost control of the car and rammed into a roadside railing.

As Bored Panda previously reported, fellow commuters stopped to help the pair out of the car, and the cameraman was filmed bleeding in the passenger seat.

Following the incident, Kick, a live-streaming platform, took action against Jack and banned him. Moreover, Kick co-owner Adin Ross confirmed the ban would be indefinite unless the internet star paid him $300,000.

On Sunday (October 6), just one day after the crash, Jack posted an update on X (formerly known as Twitter). 

Jack’s TikTok live sparked outrage

He wrote: “Going to post a more detailed response today but it’s been 24 hours since the accident and I just want to say how grateful I am that Michael and I are alive. 

“I’m so sorry Michael for putting you [through] that. Thank you to all the first responders and everyone who helped us get out of the car. 

“This could’ve been so much worse and it’s a huge learning lesson.”

On Tuesday, Jack was seemingly busy posting on social media about his birthday. Upon turning 21, the influencer will get to enjoy the legal drinking age in Florida, hopefully not behind the wheel.

Jack is best known on the internet for his viral pranks, challenges, and vlogs. He started his YouTube channel in 2016 when he was just 12 years old.

He has a YouTube audience of nearly 15 million subscribers watching his daring stunts and high-energy content.

Bored Panda has contacted Jack’s representative for comment.

“Donating money to a kid that drives multiple super cars is wild,” a reader commented

As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

The fact this kid forced his injured friend to film him afterwards instead of letting the friend get treated for his injuries as well, speaks enough about what kind of person this wannabe influencer is.

But what is also depressing is the realization some people from his fanbase will actually gift him money.

So many reason not to give this idiot one penny. The sheer collective arrogance of the ‘look at me devastated but oh-so-cool shirtless in the rain’, the ‘what do you expect? You’ve never driven a car this awesome (=gas guzzling pointless monstrosity)’, and the fact he clearly has plenty of money but still expects more from others less fortunate, means I have absolutely no desire to learn more about him, never mind fund his future endeavours of being a pillock online.

I commented on the other thread that he was going be stuffed because no way insurance would pay out for this wrecklessness, losing alot of money and end up in jail over this...so far, so good. "You guys have never driven a Mclaren ". Yes, and that's just o e reason us guys ain't giving you a penny for your stupidity, we need it so that maybe one day we can afford to ride a Mclaren and treat it, the road and other road users with respect and gratitude when we do.

He's a dork with a 90% following by teenagers and younger. They're probably donating via their parents stolen credit cards ffs. Guys like Jack do NOT deserve to be millionaires. Guys like Penguinz0 definitely do, since he gives money away pretty frequently on his live streams, but only if you have PayPal. Jack doesn't give a fek about his followers, just the money he makes for his materialistic lifestyle. POS imo.

It's reasonable for him to ask for money. It is not reasonable for anyone to donate. But it is also unreasonable how a kid like him could get this rich anyhow, so who cares.

Prime example of FAFO (F*k Around and Find Out). He totally gives off "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?" vibes.

I hope his insurance company knows about the texting. And I hope anyone who thinks about giving him money gives it to the baby with the spinal tumor instead.

I highly recommend checking out a few channels on YT where teenagers get arrested for various reasons. This will show you all you need to know about the blatant disrespect for life and lack of consequence thinking they have. I know all generations have done sh!t and have their bad apples but this is an entirely different beast. Many of them have zero emotions and empathy. When 13/14 year olds (in Sweden as an example) can point blank walk up to someone and shoot them because they were promised 10k for doing so, there's a problem..

So he's asking for money for a crime he committed? He shouldn't be asking for money on tik tok, he should be asking the republican voters. Maybe sell some nfts and bibles while he's at it.
