CaliToday (16/11/2025): The 22-year-old influencer, famous for his "views at all costs" stunts, was booked on drug and resisting arrest charges, in a real-life drama perfectly mirroring his on-screen persona.
Jack Doherty YouTube's undisputed "king of chaos" has just turned his real life into his next viral video. The influencer was arrested by Miami police on charges of amphetamine possession, marijuana possession, and resisting an officer "without violence" (which, in plain terms, means arguing, not fighting).
The bitterest irony? Just hours before his arrest, Doherty was doing exactly what his 15 million followers expect: partying on a yacht, livestreaming the entire spectacle, and projecting an aura of being completely untouchable.
But a livestream isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card. Sometimes, it's just the B-roll for your own mugshot.
Doherty, 22, has built a massive empire by orchestrating high-level mayhem. His brand is synonymous with "views at all costs," a holy grail for content creators that has included fake flash mobs, "stolen" supercar pranks, and a relentless stream of public disturbances.
This time, however, the trouble isn't just a setup for a video—or, in the bizarre reality of the influencer economy, it's exactly that, and he knows it.
In the modern influencer era, every personality isn't just a brand; they are a long-running, serialized reality show. Doherty just handed his audience a high-drama, Hollywood-style season finale that is perfectly, quintessentially... Jack Doherty.
As NBC News notes, no one will be surprised when his next video, inevitably titled "I Got ArrestD IN MIAMI (NOT CLICKBAIT)," is uploaded.
And one thing is guaranteed: the views will be massive.
