It was when he was on his “There’s A Wismichu in Me” tour. However, his audience and a video of his own proved this wrong. The fact that He gave almost 200 shows and no such complaint surfaced during any of those helped prove his innocence in this matter.
Since he started dating Ingrid, YouTuber Daniel Santome Lemus aka Dallas Review allegedly harassed Him and Ingrid.

The lumber company complained of receiving a high number of prank calls after He uploaded the prank call video. The company spokesperson said that this “ruined” their business. However, He clarified that it was not the same company that they called in the video.

It was in a segment mocking a video by Alvaro Ojeda where he called fans of the Pokémon Go app “virgins” while stating they should “stop looking at the phone and go at the beach to masturbate at scantily clad women in there”. Ojeda claimed that this made him fear for his life and physical safety. However, the police dropped the report because they didn’t think it was classified as a threat.
