Left-wing commentator Dean Withers has said he faced death threats and that a fake TikTok account made false rape allegations against him.
Withers, who featured on the popular Jubilee YouTube Series Surrounded , said in a post on X: "Right wing twitter has decided to peddle a false rape allegation against me all over the time line.
"This allegation originates from a FAKE TikTok account named 'Emily,' this account stole the identity of a minor from Australia to pretend to be a girl. MAGA knows NO low."
He shared a clip of a girl speaking over screengrabs of the "Emily" TikTok account, saying: "I'm the girl whose photos were being used in Emily’s videos... I'm now getting multiple DMs and comments about the situation and I wanted to let you guys know that I'm not involved in any of this and I didn't make any of these videos."
Withers later said on his YouTube channel that someone called his local police department and said that they were "on their way to my house with a bomb to kill me."
"So I went out front and I sat in a chair with my 9mm at my hip waiting for somebody to show up at my house to try to kill me," he said.
"But that was just a precaution, I knew the chances were it was fake – luckily it was fake. Instead of somebody showing up at the house to kill me, the cop showed up and I spoke with him for a while."
Newsweek contacted the Grand Junction Police Department for comment by email outside of regular working hours.
