A bodyguard working for Jack Doherty punched a man in the face after the popular YouTuber got in an argument with fellow influencer Corinna Kopf at a fancy-dress party in Los Angeles.
Doherty, 20, a popular Gen Z influencer, shared a video clip on X of the wild incident, which occurred while he was live on streaming platform Kick at a Halloween party on Friday night.
“My security just knocked out a guy live on my Kick,” he wrote.
The video has been viewed 6.6 million times. He added in a follow-up post, “Context: they were pressing us.”
In the video, Doherty is seen arguing with Kopf, 27, who is dressed as a Hooters waitress, over an apparent snub earlier during the party.
Kopf, a popular Twitch streamer and OnlyFans creator, had turned down a request to join Doherty on a livestream, video showed.
The towering security guard, identified by TMZ as influencer and content creator Kane Kongg, approaches and exchanges words with a member of Kopf’s entourage, who is dressed in ‘80s fluoro activewear with a singlet that reads “get physical”.
Doherty can be heard telling his bodyguard to “chill” before Kongg throws a punch, knocking the man flat on the ground.
Kopf and her friends yell at the bodyguard, who responds with expletives. “What is wrong with you?” she screams. “Are you f**king crazy?”
The Daily Mail reported the massive Halloween party was thrown by fellow internet star David Dobrik, 27, with entertainment provided by Snoop Dogg.
A longer video of the lead-up to the incident posted to X showed the victim and other members of Kopf’s entourage approach Doherty outside the party and accuse him of “talking s**t” about Kopf.
The group have a tense argument before Kopf also approaches. “Just because I’m at a party and I don’t want to talk to you, you say I’m an OnlyFans whore,” she says.
According to TMZ, Kongg, who has nearly 640,000 followers on Instagram, was involved in a similar incident in 2019 when he knocked out a female fan while working as a security guard for rapper DaBaby.
Video of the Halloween party incident generated mixed reactions.
“I don’t know why you’d be broadcasting your security guard sucker punching some guy for what looks like no reason. That seems like exhibit A in the lawsuit for that guy if he wants,” one X user wrote.
“Not a legal expert, but that looks like an assault to me,” another said.
But many of Doherty’s young fans supported him. “THAT DUDE WAS ASKING FOR IT NO CAP,” one wrote.
