Doherty has since become a controversial internet figure due to his pranks involving frequent public altercations, high-profile disputes, and several incidents related to his livestreams and personal conduct. In November 2025, Doherty was arrested in Florida for drug possession and was released shortly afterwards on bail.
Internet career
Doherty's first video, which featured him flipping markers, quickly gained popularity after it was uploaded in 2016; it amassed 29 million views by October 2024.[2] His early content primarily consisted of flipping various objects, from markers to water bottles.[3] In 2017, Doherty uploaded a video titled "I FLIPPED ALL OF THESE!!", that went viral, significantly boosting his subscriber count and establishing him as a prominent YouTuber.[4][5]
In October 2023, Doherty attended David Dobrik's Halloween party, where he was involved in a verbal altercation with other guests. The situation escalated when his bodyguard allegedly attacked one of the guests, leading to a lawsuit for assault and battery filed on February 21, 2024.[6][7]
In 2024, during a live stream, Doherty hydroplaned along a Miami highway, crashing his McLaren 570S while looking at his phone while driving. This led to his ban from the streaming platform Kick, and his cameraman, Michael, receiving stitches on his head for his injuries.[8][9] Doherty was cited by Florida Highway Patrol for using a wireless communication device while driving.[10] In 2025, he was unbanned from Kick,[11] but he was banned again nine days later following a fight between him, his security, and a heckler which was livestreamed on the platform.[12] In late February 2025, Doherty broke his collarbone during a failed biking stunt, stating that it was his "worst accident yet".[13]
Legal issues
On November 14, 2025, Doherty was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, for traffic stunts, possession of a controlled substance (amphetamine), possession of marijuana, and resisting an officer without violence.[14][15] Police say the arrest occurred after Doherty refused to move his vehicle despite blocking traffic.[16][17] On November 15, 2025, Doherty was released on $3,500 bail and set to appear in court at a later date.[18]
