Dennis Feitosa has had one hell of a month. 

Better known online and to his 550,000 YouTube subscribers as Def Noodles, the content creator has been in one controversy after the next. He shoved another YouTuber off the stage at his comedy show, got temporarily suspended from Twitch after a stripper took off her top on stream, and had an employee quit after she claimed he took her to Burning Man without proper preparation.

Starting out posting comedy sketches and reactions online, he’s best known as a drama channel and news aggregator, posting about celebrities and influencers daily on his Twitter and YouTube. Most notably, when James Charles was accused of sexting minors in February 2021, Feitosa was the one who collected and tweeted the multiple allegations before news outlets even noticed.
