Jack Doherty Faces Backlash After Asking Fans For Money Following $200k McLaren Crash

by Sophia

Internet sensation Jack Doherty has ignited fresh controversy after a high-profile accident involving his $200,000 McLaren. The 21-year-old content creator, known for his viral stunts and pranks, found himself in hot water after crashing his luxury car while texting and driving on a wet highway in Miami.

The crash, which occurred during a live stream, resulted in significant damage to the vehicle and sparked an indefinite ban from the streaming platform Kick.

What stirred more outrage, however, was Jack’s subsequent behavior. In the days following the accident, he took to TikTok live, where he openly asked his followers for financial support through gifts.

Viewers were stunned to see him soliciting donations just days after the crash, despite owning an extensive fleet of luxury cars, including a Lamborghini Huracan and a Tesla Model X.

The backlash was definitely swift and fierce. Many criticized the influencer for asking for money, calling his actions tone-deaf and inappropriate given that he's already a wealthy guy for the most part. TikTok’s gift system allows users to send virtual tokens, which can be exchanged for real money.

Fans were appalled by the idea of donating to someone who clearly didn’t need financial assistance, especially after an accident caused by reckless behavior.

The Crash and Backlash

During the live stream on October 5, Jack lost control of his McLaren while driving in the rain, ultimately crashing into a roadside barrier. He was using his phone at the time, a dangerous decision that led to both his and his cameraman’s injuries.

To lift the ban, Kick co-owner Adin Ross reportedly demanded $300,000 from Jack as a penalty for his reckless behavior on the platform.

This ban prompted Jack to turn to TikTok, where he continued streaming and, controversially, asking for financial support.

Fans were quick to express their outrage on social media platforms like Reddit.

One user commented, “This kid is an absolute piece of s***. He doesn’t deserve a damn penny.” Others echoed the sentiment, questioning why anyone would donate to someone who owns multiple supercars.

A common theme among critics was disbelief at Jack’s audacity, with many suggesting he should cover the damages himself rather than turning to his followers for help.

However, the overwhelming majority felt Jack had crossed a line by asking for money despite being able to afford the repairs.

He should be begging for forgiveness from his followers for his behavior.
