If you’ve spent any time on the "wrong side" of TikTok or Kick lately, you’ve probably seen the fallout between Jack Doherty and McKinley Richardson. It wasn't just some clean, mutual breakup. It was messy. It was livestreamed. Honestly, it was a total train wreck that left a lot of people wondering where the "content" ended and real life began.
Most people know Jack as the 22-year-old who made millions by being a professional nuisance. McKinley was the model and influencer who suddenly became the co-star of his chaotic life. They were the "it" couple of the degenerate streaming world, right up until the moment they weren't.
But if you think this was just a simple case of "influencer drama," you're missing the weird, darker layers underneath.
The Vegas Wedding That Wasn't Really a Wedding
The beginning of the end basically started in Las Vegas in November 2024. Jack and McKinley "got married" in a ceremony that was streamed to millions. Except, it wasn't a real legal marriage. It was an impulsive, Sin City stunt designed for views.
The vibes were off from the jump.
While most people exchange sweet promises, Jack decided to read out "vows" that were actually a surprise prenuptial agreement. He told McKinley—and her father, who was standing right there—that she’d get "absolutely nothing" if they divorced, even if he cheated. He even joked about owning her revenue and banned her from dating for 250 years if they split.

You could see the look on her face. It wasn't "playing along for the bit." It was pure humiliation.
McKinley later went on Camilla Araujo's podcast and dropped the bombshell: her dad actually cried that day. Imagine your daughter "marrying" a guy who uses the altar to publicly disrespect your entire family for a Kick donation. That’s not a prank; that’s just mean.
Why They Actually Split in May 2025
By May 2025, the house of cards finally collapsed. Jack confirmed the breakup on the George Janko Show, trying to sound level-headed about it. He blamed the constant streaming—the fact that their entire relationship was basically a business transaction for 24/7 content.
But McKinley’s side of the story is way more telling.
She described a guy who was "amazing and protective" at the start but turned into someone else behind closed doors. She alleged that he pressured her into making an OnlyFans account and that the fame shifted his personality into something unrecognizable.

The timeline of their downfall looks something like this:
- Early 2023: They start dating after meeting in LA.
- Late 2024: The "disgusting" Vegas wedding stunt happens.
- Early 2025: McKinley moves out of their $3.5 million Fort Lauderdale mansion.
- May 2025: The official breakup confirmation.
- Late 2025: The "scorched earth" podcast interviews where the real truth comes out.
The McLaren Crash Was the Turning Point
You can’t talk about Jack Doherty and McKinley Richardson without talking about the McLaren. In October 2024, Jack hydroplaned his $300,000 supercar while texting and driving on a livestream.
The clip went viral for all the wrong reasons.
While his cameraman, Michael, was literally bleeding from the head and struggling to get out of the wreckage, Jack’s first instinct was to handed the camera to him and told him to keep filming. That moment shifted the public’s view of him from "annoying prankster" to "genuinely dangerous."
While McKinley wasn't in the car for that specific crash, the aftermath put a massive strain on their brand. Kick banned Jack. Sponsors fled. The "glamour" of living in a waterfront mansion with a millionaire started to look a lot more like a liability.

Where Are They Now in 2026?
Fast forward to today, and their lives couldn't be more different. McKinley Richardson has mostly scrubbed Jack from her brand. She’s leaning back into modeling and her own lifestyle content, currently sitting at over 8.9 million subscribers on YouTube. She seems to be doing the "post-breakup glow-up" for real.
Jack, on the other hand, has had a rougher ride. In late 2025, he was arrested in Miami Beach. Police reportedly found controlled substances (marijuana and amphetamines) in his possession after he blocked traffic for a video.
It’s a classic cautionary tale of the "clout at all costs" lifestyle.
What You Can Learn From the Drama
If you've been following this saga, the takeaway isn't just "don't marry a YouTuber in Vegas." It's deeper than that.
- Trust your gut early. McKinley mentioned that the "red flags" were there, but the fast-paced lifestyle made them easy to ignore. If someone treats you like a prop for their career, they probably see you as one.
- Digital footprints are forever. The "vows" Jack read weren't just a bad joke; they became the evidence McKinley used to explain why she left.
- Content isn't reality. Those "perfect" mansion tours and yacht days were happening at the same time a marriage was falling apart and legal troubles were mounting.
The saga of Jack and McKinley is basically a masterclass in how not to handle a public relationship. It’s a reminder that when the cameras turn off, you still have to live with the person you’ve become for the views.
Next Steps for You
- Check the Source: If you want to hear the full story in her own words, look up McKinley's appearance on the Camilla Araujo Podcast (October 2025). It’s raw and gives a lot of context that wasn’t in the clips.
- Stay Skeptical: Next time you see a "viral wedding" or a "shocking breakup," ask yourself if it’s a stunt or a symptom of a real issue. Usually, with Jack Doherty, it’s both.
