Griffin Johnson’s TikTok-led movie could shake up Hollywood despite Addison Rae woes

The latest movie led by a TikToker is Griffin Johnson’s ‘Diamond in the Rough,’ a snarky rom-com inspired by other comedies like ‘Happy Gilmore’ and ‘Caddyshack.’ While it might not have shaken up Hollywood right away, it’s definitely put the wheels in motion.

The flick doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a surprisingly accurate, chuckle-worthy look into the life of a twenty-something trying to make it after college, all while juggling societal expectations and self-sabotage by comparing oneself to their friends and colleagues.

Unfortunately, ‘Diamond in the Rough’ hasn’t gotten much publicity. It has no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and YouTube searches reveal a fairly sparse selection… but it might be one of the best TikToker-led films thus far.

Johnson’s movie – in which he co-stars with Disney actress Samantha Boscarino – isn’t afraid of topical humor and political jokes. It genuinely had me laughing out loud at points (Boscarino saying that “Elon Musk could see that thing from space” in reference to her friend’s gaudy wedding ring comes to mind).

It’s a decent debut film for Johnson, who has high hopes for his future in acting — a similar goal for several other TikTok stars like Charli D’Amelio, Bryce Hall, and Addison Rae.

Addison Rae’s ‘He’s All That’ notoriously received mixed reviews upon its release last year, and currently sits at a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Sure, Rae’s acting is a bit stiff, and the subject matter is decidedly dated — but it’s safe to say the film received undue criticism over its leading lady, who has notoriously battled internet trolls for simply existing online for years.

That’s not all; Rae also got backlash for simply breaking into the acting space in the first place, with netizens upset that she had “stolen” a spot from another hard-working actor who’d gone to school for the trade, rather than working their way up from TikTok. – Source

Addison Rae just unfollowed her mom, who admits Monty Lopez “terrifies” her

The first unfollow came back in June, as Addison distanced herself from her father Monty Lopez following a flood of cheating allegations going viral.

Since then, there has been a social media war between the two parents, leading to her coming to the same decision about her mother Sheri on August 8.

As reported by TikTokroom on Instagram, the actor has unfollowed Sheri – with no public reason at the time of writing.

The situation has been described as “heart-wrenching” by her mom, seen in a comment on Instagram.

This follows a video of Monty Lopez going viral, where he challenged rapper Yung Gravy to a fight, after they said a date with Addison’s mother was on the cards. Gravy also said “MILFs” are his type.

Tana Mongeau and other influencers have been quick to comment on the actions of Lopez in recent weeks, but Sheri has not found the funny side of the drama so far. In fact, she appears to be scared.

“I know this video may seem funny to some of you but I am terrified of this man,” she said in the comments of an Instagram post. – Source

Look at God! Addison Rae deletes bikini photo deemed ‘a mockery of Christianity’

Members of the Christian community took TikTok star Addison Rae to church over a social media post that some have deemed “a mockery of Christianity.”

On Tuesday, the influencer and actor shared a photo on Instagram of herself wearing a white, string bikini top bearing the words “father” on one side and “son” on the other. After members of the Christian community accused Rae of disrespecting their religion, the image was deleted.

A collaboration between athletic apparel giant Adidas and fashion brand Praying, the full swimsuit also says “holy spirit” on the bottoms — completing the Holy Trinity. Since she hasn’t commented publicly on the bikini backlash, Rae’s reasons for removing the post are between her and her God.

In a rebuke of Rae’s original post, @XAVIAERD tweeted, “All I’m going to say is—these people are going to learn the hard way not to play with GOD. Just wait and watch.” Source
