“Sounds like a very me thing to happen.Was the last member to join *NSYNC, after being recruited by Justin Timberlake. “Kind of shocked, but at the same time, not too shocked,” Tony said. During a joint Q&A on Awesomeness TV, Tony humorously revealed how he felt after the leak. Tony and Ondreaz still view the leak as something funny. Also, some of these individuals who’ve been exposed did such things LONG ago (making them minors).” “I’d like to know that even though we taking this whole situation as easy and light as possible, leaking or exposing anyone’s privacy is beyond terrible and even illegal. Ondreaz, Tony’s brother, confirmed the brothers’ relaxed approach to the leak but also acknowledged the seriousness of the matter. On 10th February, he posted the following tweet, “My mom calls Ondre and says, where is your pornstar brother…” He didn’t seem bothered at all by the leak. Instead of viewing the leak as damaging to his career, he saw an opportunity to gain publicity. Other content creators chose not to address the nudes in attempts to invalidate the leak, but Tony adopted a different approach. He stated that he’d sent the nudes to a user via Instagram and Snapchat months before the leak. Tony posted a YouTube video after the leak, confirming the validity of the nudes. In February 2020, a Twitter user leaked Tony and other TikTok creators’ nudes online. In early July 2020, Tony confirmed via Twitter that he is currently single. In addition, he has been linked to female content creators such as Addison Rae and Sofie Dossi. In light of Tony’s comments, it is safe to assume that he isn’t gay. Tony apologized for his ‘childish’ tweets via a July 10th Twitter post. “If I offended anyone I apologize deeply, it offends me reading those now as well,” the tweet read. “However, more recently large TikTokers have gotten mad they’re not a part of it, and have been trying to get in, in essence ruining the kids’ safe space within the app.”ĭaniel added that he didn’t support cyberbullying, but he wasn’t against ‘bullying bad people off platforms.’ Angry fans reacted to Tony’s tweets by unearthing racist, homophobic, and misogynistic tweets that Tony had made a while back. Social media influencer Elijah Daniel was one of the most vocal critics against Tony.Įlijah accused Tony and other influencers of attacking a safe space where queer people can create content without being bullied. “Personally, ‘gay’ and ‘alt’ TikTok have created a safe space for themselves and others like them, away from the toxic side,” Elijah said. Fans and celebrities alike took issue with Tony’s tweet. Straight TikTok contains viral dances and verified influencers, while alt TikTok embraces queer culture and contains content that isn’t mainstream. TikTok is generally divided into two: straight TikTok and ‘alt’ or ‘gay’ TikTok.
In mid-July 2020, Tony caused a social media storm after he posted the following tweet: “So for ‘straight tik tok’ is it that you guys are annoyed by the dances? Or because they have a high following and support system? Is it an envy thing? I don’t understand why people would hate individuals for having fun and dancing.”
