HSTikkyTokky has defended himself following the backlash from the new Louis Theroux documentary.
Netflix’s Inside The Manosphere sees the controversial influencer, real name Harrison Sullivan, admitting to saying offensive things in his videos with the sole purpose of getting money.
“With the attention I can get more fame, monetise,” the 24-year-old said while appearing to justify homophobic and misogynistic comments he has made in the past.
“Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer – I’m all those things,” HS said.
In a new video posted on social media, HS has doubled down on his strategy after fans said he got ‘owned’ by the experienced filmmaker and was ‘exposed’ in the doc.
Alongside the caption: “My response to Theroux and the broke minions commenting online,” HS shared a clip of a homosexual person saying that ‘I know for a fact that if he saw me, he’d beat me up because I’m gay. He’s evil’.

In response, HS said: “So this guy is so educated and knows all these bad things that I’ve done wrong, but he can’t name one thing that I’ve done wrong.
“This is the general population of the UK right now scattering to make comments online about me. They don’t know me. They don’t know my purpose. And in the same position as me, would do the exact same thing.”
“This is the world we live in right now. When it’s someone else who’s doing well, making money, living life, let’s hate on them,” he continued.
“But if you’re given the opportunity, you’re coming on my stream and acting like an absolute tart.
“So many people right now will take everything that I’ve said in that documentary at face value and not actually have the brain cells to comprehend that maybe I say things and do things for a reaction because it makes me money and allows me to live this lifestyle.”

HS then addressed a moment in the doc when he said he would ‘disown’ his daughter if she ever did OnlyFans, despite his own promotion of the models.
“Yes. Maybe I manage some OF girls or have managed some OF girls. Does that mean I agree in OF and porn and whatever? No. It doesn’t,” he said.
“If you had a good opportunity to invest in a McDonald’s branch for cheap, would you invest in it? Yes. You would if it was gonna make you money.
“Does that mean that then you agree that the food you’re selling there is beneficial for the f**king population? Potentially not, but you’re gonna do it anyway because of the bread.”
VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE
Towards the end of the clip, HS claimed that no one ever talks about the good things he has done.
“You don’t talk about when I was in Ireland and I took Michael off the streets, gave gave him tens of thousands of pounds, took him around the world to buy Thailand, etc, changed his life,” he continued.
“You don’t talk about the Ivan and his missus who had a child homeless in Ireland who I got an apartment for for a year out of the goodness of my heart.
“You don’t talk about Harris who’s currently living with me now and has been living with me for the last year and a half who I took around the world.

“He was from a care home. He’s now making 20 grand a month online as a social media influencer. You don’t talk about Dutton, the autistic 18 year old kid who turned up at my house two days in a row, gave him thousands of pounds for his family who were struggling, took him to Colombia, took him to Dominican Republic.”
HS added: “You don’t talk about anything like that. You only talk about negative s**t. He’s a misogynist. He’s a homophobe. He’s this. He’s that. He’s that. Shut the f**k up. Okay? I’m getting rich. You’re all broke. Sad at home hating. Have some of that.”
Responding to his video, one viewer said: “You literally admitted on the documentary that you wouldn’t have been ‘successful’ if you had been nice. You’re basically spouting bulls**t for clicks.”
“Somebody is giving a lot of f**ks for somebody who says he doesn’t give any f**ks,” another penned.
“He asked you some questions, nothing controversial, just your views and opinions… you repeatedly reinforced how real you were,” someone else said.
