Controversial Streamer Jack Doherty Goes Viral After Police Call
On March 24, 2025, a clip featuring divisive streamer Jack Doherty surged in popularity, largely due to the unsettling circumstances surrounding it. Doherty, who has since transitioned to the streaming platform Parti, faced serious allegations following an incident involving his girlfriend, McKinley Richardson, who reportedly contacted law enforcement after claiming he had threatened her. This isn’t the first time Doherty has found himself in contentious situations with authorities.
The Viral Incident Unfolds
The aforementioned clip captured police entering Doherty’s residence, where he appeared puzzled by the unfolding drama. His reaction was captured perfectly:
“Guys, my girlfriend called the cops on me to get all her stuff out. Insane, like, what the f**k? I can’t believe what’s happening right now.”
In a contrasting view, Richardson asserted that the police were called due to threats made against her:
“Because you threatened me, Jack. (Richardson said, ‘I didn’t threaten you bro.’) Yes, you did.”
Following the incident, Doherty took to the platform X (formerly Twitter) to address the allegations directly, stating emphatically:
“I never threatened her.”
The Fallout: Relationship Status and Accusations
As the situation unfolded, many began to wonder about the status of Doherty’s relationship with Richardson. In a livestream shortly after their altercation, he revealed that the couple had indeed split up, characterizing the breakup as a result of a “dumb argument.”He further accused Richardson of using him for financial gain, expressing his disbelief and frustration:
“Guys, look, me and McKinley just broke up. The cops are outside my house right now. She just called the cops on me, packed all her s**t, and took her f**king car. Insane, bro! I can’t believe I dated that b**ch for the past two years. It doesn’t even seem real! It’s insane. Evil, bro. She has been plotting this s**t for a minute. This b**ch used me for f**king money! For real! For sure.”
While Doherty has yet to provide a detailed explanation for the breakup, the livestream paints a picture of a tumultuous relationship filled with financial tensions and emotional conflict.
Past Controversies
Doherty’s recent troubles are part of a broader pattern of controversies. Earlier in March 2025, a resurfaced TikTok video showing him lip-syncing to Jay Rock’s “King’s Dead”while holding his young niece prompted significant backlash online, sparking discussions about appropriateness in content creation. This history of incidents surely feeds into the narrative around his character and brand as a streamer.
