The influencer who HSTikkyTokky branded a 'dishwasher' in Louis Theroux's documentary has addressed the matter on social media.
In case you missed it, Inside The Manosphere dropped onto Netflix on 11 March and saw the documentarian and BAFTA-winning presenter explore the world of outspoken male influencers and podcasters who profit from and spread controversial ideas from the manosphere.
Among the film's subjects was British influencer HSTikkyTokky, real name Harrison Sullivan, 24, whose content includes fitness tips, crypto hacks, and male-oriented dating content.
During the documentary, Sullivan expresses a number of misogynistic and homophobic views, including that he’d ‘disown’ his son if he were gay, and would do the same to his daughter if she were to post on OnlyFans.

After receiving backlash to the doc, the influencer tweeted: "Everyone hating on the Theroux documentary…. Are Low Test men… and fat women. Angry at life … angry that they have no money and no opportunity. Robots. Sheep. Cattle confined within the system."
Another notable scene saw him introduce Theroux to content creator Kacey May, 19, as his 'dishwasher and cleaner'.
The comment, of course, sparked backlash online, and now Kacey herself has responded, posting to her 11,100 Instagram followers.
She shared a picture of herself sitting on a beach and wrote: "Me after getting a free holiday in Marbella and being featured on a Netflix documentary with Louis Theroux at 19 xxx."
The influencer added: "Just a dishwasher tbf x."
Kacey later posted another video with fellow content creator Ellie Nuts, who also featured in the documentary, with the caption: "We're on Netflix, and you're not xx."
Then, she posted a video blowing a kiss at the camera, and penned: "Me when he calls me a dishwasher."
Kacey added in the caption: "Just known as a dishwasher by a few million people, I guess."
Also in the documentary, Sullivan said he 'finds it disgusting' that women choose to create X-rated content online, which led Therous to point out how he profits off OnlyFans girls via an agency.
"I openly say I don't give a f**k, and I'm doing it for money," he said of his controversial antics.
After Inside The Manosphere's release, Sullivan deleted most of his Instagram posts, but has spoken out multiple times about the doc.
Hitting back, he said: "So many people right now will take everything that I've said in that documentary at face value and not actually have the brain cells to comprehend that maybe I say things and do things for a reaction because it makes me money and allows me to live this lifestyle."
He also said during a livestream: “He said to me, ‘You can’t promote something while also saying it’s bad’, whilst he’s doing a hit piece on the manosphere, which is being promoted to the biggest platform in the world, Netflix.
"How does that make sense? He is a total, total hypocrite. I’ve exposed him yet again."
