Harrison Sullivan has been accused of 'crashing out' following his unfavourable appearance in Louis Theroux's new Netflix documentary.
The 24-year-old Brit was interviewed by the presenter alongside a long line of 'extreme male influencers' for Inside the Manosphere, which landed on the streaming service last week.
The feature-length film focused on the regressive views of several podcasters, TikTok stars and authors, famed amongst their social media followers for their inflammatory views on masculinity, and using their online content to both 'radicalise' young men and degrade women.

Theroux flies to Marbella, Spain, to meet with Sullivan, who goes by the nickname 'HSTikkyTokky' online. At the time of filming, he was on the run from UK police for crashing a McLaren supercar and injuring three people.
Sullivan's content hinges on sharing fitness tips, crypto hacks and male-oriented dating content with his TikTok and Instagram followers.
In the documentary, as well as showing the documentarian a video of himself receiving oral sex from a girl on the Marbella strip, the social media personality spouts a number of misogynistic and homophobic views, including that he’d ‘disown’ his son if he were gay, and would inflict the same punishment on his daughter if she were to take up OnlyFans.
Despite insisting during the film he doesn’t ‘give a f**k’ what people think, in the days following its release, Sullivan deleted almost every Instagram post.
This led some viewers to suggest that Theroux had brutally humbled the controversial star, who’d felt the burn of the interviewer’s calm and collected technique.
Supporting the theory that the contents of the documentary have since gotten under his skin, Sullivan took to social media on Monday, where he uploaded a bizarre online rant about his haters.
In it, Sullivan attempted to come for several 'drag queens', who’d condemned an aspect of the documentary, in which his team violently attacked a man whom they accused of talking to young children online.
Giving his followers whiplash, he then rapidly changed the subject to his recent ban from his local café.
“Oh no, I’ve got the drag queens onto me,” he began. "So, I don’t know if you saw the Theroux documentary - I have not yet. But this clip right here of a pred [predator] getting touched a little bit when he came to meet a kid.
"Let’s not forget, this guy is a predator."
To be clear, we only have Sullivan's word that the man his entourage attacked was guilty of any wrongdoing, and the documentary does not explore why he thinks the man is a predator.
Sullivan continued: "Do I think it was good that the boys did that to him? No. They should have just called the police and got him nicked.
"But then we’ve got drag queens reposting it [the documentary clip] saying, 'Everyone call the police, let’s get Harrison nicked for this premeditated attack', like we’ve not done loads of predator stings and got nonces off the f**king street."
Sharing a screenshot of the Instagram account belonging to the performer that called him out for the attack, Sullivan continued: "Obviously, you, you drag queen would be defending the nonces, you f**king freak.
"But to repost it and get everyone to snitch on me, you are so sad. So are all of you losers in the UK that are hating on this doc. You’re all sad."
Sullivan went on to ask: "How am I still getting messages from my old breakfast spot in Shenfield, saying I'm now barred - me and my team? What did my team do, by the way? But anyway, I stopped going to this s**thole about a month ago.
"I've been going to Hut 99, the owner of that is great, the coffees in there, 10 out of 10. If you're in Shenfield, go there.
"Some of you might know what bar this is [the one that barred him], I'm going to blur them out. I'm not going to give them any promo. What a bunch of t***s, I spent thousands in there.
"They don't like what I said on the Theroux documentary, so they've barred me."
Raising his hands to his eyes to mime wailing, Sullivan went on: "I'm out in Dubai, if you think I give a s**t about your place in Shenfield, are you actually alright? Anyone who's in Shenfield, make sure you only go to Hut 99, it is the best place in Shenfield."
Hours later, he also 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."
The sporadic nature of the rant, as well as its choppy change of pace, has seemingly amused a number of social media users, who’ve accused Sullivan of unravelling before their eyes.
Referencing the documentary, one X user laughed: “Lol, a week later and he’s still crashing out.”
Sharing a meme of Homer Simpson sleeping cosily in bed, another went on to tease: “How Louis Theroux sleeps at night knowing how much his documentary annoys HSTikkyTokky.”
A third joked about Theroux living ‘rent-free’ in Sullivan’s head.
“I’ve never seen someone so loudly not care what others think about them in my entire life,” a fourth continued.
