TikToker Mizzy, an infamous social media influencer from London, has recently been arrested by the Metropolitan Police for a controversial prank that he broadcast on his now-deleted TikTok account.
The video showed Mizzy walking uninvited into a stranger’s home and comfortably settling on their couch while the homeowners, including a child, reacted with evident confusion and concern.
The video, for its audacity and unexpected nature, went viral unprecedentedly. However, it needs to be shared further as it seems to promote and endorse such invasive behaviors, which the influencers crave – controversy and fame.
Mizzy’s Admission of Guilt and Previous Incidents
- Interestingly, Mizzy admitted to staging the prank on social media. He claimed to have been active on social platforms since he was eight, intending to create viral content like this.
- It is worth noting that this is not Mizzy’s first brush with the law. According to a statement from the Metropolitan Police, he was arrested for similar incidents.
Investigation and Legal Consequences
The Metropolitan Police released a statement that they are investigating to trace the 18-year-old suspect who had intruded into a private residence in Hackney, as documented on the video.
They believe that Mizzy breached a community protection notice issued last May, which prevents him from committing any act meant to cause harassment, alarm, or distress. The video in question could be evidence of such a breach.
Furthermore, Mizzy has allegedly been featured in other disturbing videos. It includes scenarios where he has stolen someone’s dog and provoked people in public places with intimidating questions. His pranks, though intended to be humorous, often cross the line of acceptability.
