I've heard this has been happening more and more. Clips like this do well on TikTok, and Gen Z eats it up. The influencers ("reporter" in this clip) do something "outrageous" to get a reaction out of the celebrity and then call it "news", and then put it on TikTok. Either it's cringe and it does well, or it gets a reaction out of the celebrity and it does well.

It's win win. All you have to do is have no shame yourself, and be willing to put another human on the spot thinking about how their entire career trajectory could be lost because they reacted poorly to some moron who wanted a few likes on the internet.

I really fucking hate "influencers".
