Dan Hentschel, known for his TikTok antics, recently stirred controversy with an elaborate prank that left some viewers genuinely concerned.
Hentschel changed his TikTok profile picture and name to “True Crime Gazette” and proceeded to document what he called “the murder” of his girlfriend in a series of videos.
This series began with a video where he pretended to put bacon grease in her beauty products and escalated to the point where he claimed to be putting salt in their shared Brita filter.
In this salt-themed video, he explained his sinister motiving that dehydration would make his partner more dependent on him and less likely to leave or cheat on him.
As a result of these alarming videos, some viewers expressed their discomfort and concerns, questioning the legality of his actions and the plausibility of his pranks.
However, it’s essential to emphasize that Hentschel was not poisoning anyone. He continued to escalate the prank by simulating his own “arrest.”
Using fabricated New York Post-style articles, along with fake security footage and Twitter screenshots, Hentschel successfully tricked some viewers into believing he had been arrested.
His TikTok handle enhanced the ruse, which was named “True Crime Gazette” at the time.
The prank played on familiar tropes in true crime TikToks, which led some viewers to believe the hoax briefly.
While the prank initially took in some viewers, it became clear that Hentschel’s actions were part of an elaborate and misleading stunt.
