A TikToker landed in the hospital after jumping on the Gorilla Glue wagon – saying he had “accidentally” applied the strong adhesive to his hair.
“I do not know what to do. It was an accident. I didn’t want to put Gorilla Glue in my hair “, cries Avani Reyes in one of the several videos posted on the site.
“I have to go to the hospital so they can remove this Gorilla glue. I have no idea what to do. I tried to wash it, it doesn’t come off “, she says, adding that” the scalp burns “.
But the sticky situation of Reyes, who follows that of “Gorilla Glue Girl”, Tessica Brown, has many people saying that her story seems a little hairy – and that TikToker is trying to score its own 15 minutes of fame.
“I followed you just because you looked like a great person. But you did it on purpose after it happened to that lady. “You have the audacity to ask people,” said one user.
“Are you just kidding the other person who did this or did it really happen?” It would be wrong anyway. you went to the hospital and wasted (sic) time there “, said another.
And a third said simply, “I hope it never comes out.”
Reyes, who has more than 459,000 followers on the video sharing app, followed, claiming that the hospital “did nothing.”
“I just got out of the hospital and they didn’t do anything for me. Look at my hair, ”she says in the clip.
Reyes said she was advised to try olive oil, tea tree oil or coconut oil to remove the gunk – despite similar failed attempts by Brown, before Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Obeng, to perform a free surgery of $ 12,500 to get rid of the glue hair.
“I used coconut oil for about half an hour, then I washed my hair and there’s Gorilla Glue in my head. I guess I have to get bald, ”adds the woman, who claimed to have raised enough money to travel to Los Angeles to be operated on as Brown.
She even claimed that a generous benefactor donated $ 3,000 to her cause.
“You know it was definitely a trip with this Gorilla Glue. It was crazy, so thank you very much, ”she says.
Brown – who hired an agent throughout the publicity campaign – raised nearly $ 24,000 to pay his medical bills, but said he would donate most of it to charity.
