Social media influencer Oneya Johnson, known for his reaction videos on his TikTok page “Angry Reactions,” has been arrested for alleged domestic violence.
Johnson, 25, was taken into custody in Burbank, Calif., on Feb. 12 at around 11 p.m., according to a Burbank Police Department report.
The influencer had allegedly been in a verbal argument that turned physical with a woman in a hotel, according to TMZ, citing sources.
Police revealed to the outlet the woman did not need medical attention.
The extent of the woman’s relationship with the social media star is unknown.
Authorities released Johnson after he posted a $50,000 bail.
He is due to appear in court on March 5, the outlet added.
Johnson, who has more than 27.7 million followers on TikTok and an additional two million on Instagram, is known for his viral videos where he reacts enraged while he reviews videos across social media.
The Chicago native began posting content to his “Angry Reactions” TikTok page in 2020.
He skyrocketed into fame with a post he made that same year. It was so well received on the platform that he accumulated one million followers on TikTok in about 24 hours, Buzzfeed News reported that year.
The video, which he dueted with cake-making influencer @bobbysrey, has garnered over 12 million likes and has been viewed over 60 million times since it was posted.
Before his rise to fame, Johnson told Buzzfeed that he was homeless in Indiana when he created his first video.
When asked how he came up with the idea for his page, Johnson said he “basically took how the world sees” and made it his online personality.
“If I passed you on the street and I don’t say a word, I look like the angriest person in the world. But when you actually get to know me, I’m actually a really positive person,” he told the outlet.
If proven guilty of the alleged domestic violence charges, he can face up to two to five years in State Prison or a year in county prison and a fine of up to $10,000, according to California State Law.
