Woman ends relationship with popular YouTuber following 'humiliating' prank at Vegas wedding
A woman ends relationship with popular YouTuber after a 'humiliating' prank at their Vegas wedding.
While some YouTubers build million-dollar careers on pranks, others discover those same stunts can cost them their reputations, freedom and or even marriages, so it seems.
YouTube star Jack Doherty is known for his wild pranks, but he's also gained notoriety for more troubling incidents. Last year, the content creator crashed his McLaren supercar while filming, leaving his cameraman bleeding from facial injuries.
Many viewers who saw the crash footage felt Doherty seemed more concerned about his damaged vehicle than the visibly injured person who'd been filming for him.

Now, Doherty is making headlines again, but this time for what happened at his wedding ceremony in Las Vegas last November.
OnlyFans model McKinley Richardson spoke publicly about their relationship and the livestreamed wedding ceremony that ultimately contributed to their breakup.
The ceremony wasn't legally binding, which makes their separation simpler than a traditional divorce.
However, Richardson says the event became deeply 'humiliating' for her when the YouTube prankster pulled out a surprise prenuptial agreement at the altar - all while streaming live to thousands of viewers.
"So, shawty gets absolutely nothing when I divorce her, even if I cheat," Doherty announced on camera. "If she cheats, she automatically owes me $10 million. I’ll also receive 100 per cent of her OF revenue moving forward, even if we divorce.”
He also added that if they divorced, she couldn't speak to or date another man for '250 years' and that Richardson would 'still have to cook, clean and do his laundry.'
Of course, since the wedding itself wasn't legally binding, the prenup carried no legal weight either, but that didn't make the public humiliation any less real for Richardson.
Speaking on Camilla Araujo's podcast, Richardson revealed she 'felt horrible' after the experience.
"The vows that he wrote in front of my dad, he made my dad stand up centre stage and he read out these disgusting vows," she told the podcast.
"Just fully disrespecting him, it was embarrassing, we were humiliated. My dad actually cried that day, after we left, he said, "that was so humiliating", and I felt horrible."
She explained that the vows were 'very disrespectful,' adding that when the wedding was finished, Doherty said to the camera: "Thank God that they are gone."
Hurt by how her family were treated, Richardson admitted: "They are the sweetest people ever, like that killed me."
According to Richardson, she had no idea that Doherty was planning to pull this prank. She described how his personality has changed over the course of the relationship from being 'amazing in the beginning' to 'not the same guy she fell for'.
Doherty confirmed in May that the couple had split up after his viewers began noticing Richardson's absence from his videos.
