Influencers Spark Death Threats at Comedy Club
6 Feb
Summary
- Influencers' video led to 700 one-star reviews overnight.
- Club owner received death threats while pregnant.
- Influencers allegedly lied about their experience for clout.
A Hollywood comedy club owner is reeling after influencer sisters and their collaborator caused a firestorm, leading to death threats and a flood of negative online reviews. The incident began on January 21 when the Kalogeras Sisters and Noah Risling requested to perform at an open mic night. Their subsequent YouTube video, viewed by millions, prompted over 700 one-star reviews overnight, decimating the club's Google rating.
Owner Jiaoying Summers, who is pregnant, reported receiving disturbing death threats, stating the ordeal triggered serious health issues. She and host Barry Montoya also faced racist and sexist reviews. Summers claims the influencers deliberately exaggerated their experience for online clout, disrupting the club's operations and endangering staff safety.
The club has issued a cease-and-desist notice for the video, accusing the influencers of exploiting their venue. Conversely, the sisters' spokesperson disputes the claims and has issued their own legal notice. The conflict underscores the precarious balance between performance art and online influence.
