HSTikkyTokky hits out at editing of two scenes in Louis Theroux doc after finally watching it

It's been exactly a week since Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere documentary film hit Netflix (11 March), and it's sparked quite the heated discussion online.

For those who have yet to watch the doc, it follows documentarian Theroux speaking with some of the leading social media influencers and podcasters who profit from and spread controversial ideas from the most extreme fringes of the manosphere.

It features the likes of Harrison Sullivan, aka HSTikkyTokky, Amrou Fudl, aka Myron Gaines, Justin Waller, Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, aka Sneako and Ed Matthews.

Several interviewees have spoken out following the doc's release last week, with Sullivan being particularly vocal on the matter.

He's already called out Theroux, but his latest criticisms see the 24-year-old social media personality, who has been accused of promoting misogynistic and homophobic messages in his videos, hit out at the editing of two scenes in the doc after finally watching it.

Now, for context, Sullivan was on the run from UK police for crashing a McLaren supercar and injuring three people at the time of filming.

Sullivan built his following on fitness advice, crypto tips and dating content aimed at men across TikTok and Instagram.

In the documentary, he shows Theroux a clip of himself receiving oral sex from a woman on the Marbella strip, while also airing a string of misogynistic and homophobic views, claiming he would 'disown' a gay son and says he would treat a daughter the same if she joined OnlyFans.

Sullivan owns an OnlyFans agency that manages and promotes adult content creators.

He insists he does not care what people think, yet days after the release, he wiped almost his entire Instagram feed.

Another shocking moment from the documentary sees Sullivan's friend arrange to meet an older man in order to 'humiliate' him.

Theroux watches on as the influencer's entourage physically attacks the man while filming a livestream, accusing him of being a 'predator' - something which the BAFTA-winning documentarian was unable to determine was true or not.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Sullivan reshared a clip from that scene, writing: "Look at the muppets in the comments lol. The guy was a chid predator. A pedophile. Was it right that they hit him? No. But, was it planned? Definitely not. Do I feel bad for the guy? No. He’s a PRED!"

He also claimed: "They’ve edited this to make it look like I did something. I didn’t touch him."

In the documentary, viewers can see Sullivan telling his friends: "You’re off to jail. I didn’t touch him."

Sullivan also paused the documentary at 1:02:05 exactly to address the editing, saying he wanted to 'highlight' the segment which discussed Waller's 'really hard upbringing' growing up in a 'broken home'.

"I think Louis is a great documentarian, or whatever you say," he said, before taking issue with Theroux's theory that certain childhood events may have impacted the views of such manosphere influencers, something he declared is 'totally false'.

The documentary touched on Sullivan's upbringing as he shared with Theroux that he didn't see his father, former England rugby player Victor Ubogu, for around a decade growing up.

"His dad, an international rugby player, was not in the picture," Theroux said in the doc.

Sullivan explained that while he doesn’t agree with 'what he did', there are 'no hard feelings', adding: "If there is any trauma there, it is subconscious. It’s not something that I’m aware of."

Continuing this social media rant, Sullivan explained: "I’m there saying, 'I don’t have any trauma. If I do, it’s subconscious, and I’m really not bothered,' because that is the truth.

"And then he cuts and goes to Justin and goes, 'Maybe, they’re spreading their childhood trauma onto the world.' What are you talking about, lad? Not true!"

Theroux has previously outlined that he never intended to 'embarrass' the influencers he interviewed.

"My view is always I’m not trying to embarrass them or trick them in any way," he told Tudum.

"I am trying to tell the truth, and I will confront them appropriately. I’m not trying to pick a fight. I’m just trying to understand them, get my questions answered, and then challenge and push back on the parts that don’t make sense to me or strike me as dangerous."

Louis Theroux: Into the Manosphere is currently available to stream on Netflix.
