Sometimes seeking harmless fun with fellow TikTokers can become a nightmare.
It was what happened to TikToker Lex who went by TikTok handle ‘66sixela6’ and ‘b6yl3x’ on Instagram. In late June, Lex went viral after she uploaded a TikTok asking handsome hunk and Hype House member Vinnie Hacker if he wanted to hang out with her.
In case you didn't know, Hacker's overwhelming fan base has a track record for behaving like an obsessive ex-lover. Girls who simp over his killer good looks disapprove of him dating and have scared off his few potential partners in the past.
After a video of Lex and Hacker in the same bedroom began making rounds on the video-sharing app, the fans speculated that they were not only hanging out but in a relationship.
After that, Hacker's fans accused her of using Hacker for clout and started harassing her about her looks. It was so bad that she had to deactivate her Instagram, although she kept her TikTok. But it appears she is back on Instagram.

Fans had opined that her eyes had looked puffy and red like she had been crying for a long time. They also expressed their concern over her mental health.
Vinnie Hacker's Been Single for 2 Years
Although Hacker's fans seem to have a theory of their own regarding his dating life, he set the record straight in a YouTube video on fellow TikToker and Sway House member Noah Beck's channel.
The video was uploaded on March 8, 2021, and titled 'Vinnie Hacker's Crush.' The boys talked about their lives as influencers in the video and the positive and negative things that came with their viral fame. Halfway through the video, Beck asked Hacker is he was interested in anyone.
Hacker explained that he had been single for two years and wanted a relationship, but he didn't know how to go about it. But then he admitted that he was crushing on someone and refused to reveal who it was.
Only time will tell who Hacker was talking about, but it is still a mystery for now.
