It started with a few viral dances. Then came the "ship" that took over TikTok. But the fallout between Sienna Mae Gomez and Jack Wright didn’t just break the internet—it changed how we talk about consent in the influencer age forever.
People are still searching for the "truth" of what went down because the details aren't just messy; they’re heavy. We aren't just talking about a breakup. This involves serious allegations of sexual assault, leaked videos, and a public fallout that forced a massive shift in how Gen Z views their favorite stars.
Most people remember the "Squirrel Dance" or the Hype House drama. But honestly, the real story is much darker than a simple "he said, she said" narrative.
The Timeline of a Digital Disaster
To understand why the Sienna Mae Jack Wright situation still lingers in 2026, you have to go back to the beginning.
They were the "it" couple of late 2020. They weren't technically dating, but they were everywhere. Fans obsessed over their chemistry. However, the cracks started appearing in May 2021. It didn't start with a video, but with a tweet. Mason Rizzo, one of Jack's best friends, posted a bombshell. He accused an unnamed girl of sexually assaulting his best friend "numerous times" even after boundaries were set.
Jack’s twin brother, James Wright, retweeted it. The internet immediately did the math.
Sienna's response was swift. She "unequivocally denied" everything. She claimed she was being slandered. At the time, she even suggested she was the one being "strung along" by Jack for views. But then, the leaked video surfaced.
It was a grainy clip from a party. It appeared to show Sienna groping an unconscious Jack Wright.
What Jack Wright Finally Said
For months, Jack stayed mostly quiet. He posted a vague Instagram message about healing. He didn't want to "tear anyone down." That changed on January 20, 2022.

Jack released a 17-minute YouTube video titled "what sienna mae did to me." It was raw. He didn't just confirm the leaked video; he detailed a pattern of behavior that was frankly terrifying.
- Non-consensual touching: He alleged she would touch him inappropriately even when he told her to stop.
- The Bedroom Incidents: Jack described waking up to find her in his room, sometimes with her hand in his pants, after she had allegedly broken into his house.
- Physical escalation: He mentioned an instance where she jumped out of a moving car to get to him after their friends tried to separate them.
He wasn't just talking to the camera; he was shaking. He mentioned that other men in Los Angeles had come forward to him with similar stories about her. It shifted the perspective from "drama" to a conversation about male victims of sexual assault.
The Apology That Didn't Land
Sienna's response to Jack's video is often cited as a masterclass in how not to handle a crisis. She posted a lengthy Medium essay. She also posted a YouTube video that felt, to many, incredibly defensive.
One line in particular became a meme for all the wrong reasons. She wrote: "Consent isn't really something that is formally taught in school."

People were livid. The "I didn't know" defense felt hollow to a generation that had spent years advocating for boundaries. She claimed they only ever kissed. She denied ever seeing him naked. But the discrepancy between her "recollections" and the video evidence led to a mass exodus of followers. She lost over a million followers in a matter of days.
Where Are They Now in 2026?
The dust has somewhat settled, but the scars are visible. Sienna Mae has attempted several rebrands. By early 2026, she has leaned heavily into the entrepreneur space. She launched "Sienna Swim" and a wellness brand called "Routine." She’s walking runways and posting about "intentional living."
She’s even engaged now, often posting about a "slow life" with her partner, Cole. But if you look at her comment sections—when they aren't limited—the ghost of the 2022 controversy is always there.
Jack Wright took a different path. He’s stayed in the entertainment world but has been much more selective. He's done some acting and continues to dance, but he’s also used his platform to work with organizations like SafeBAE. He’s become a quiet advocate for consent education, specifically focusing on the "role reversal" cases where men are the survivors.
Why This Still Matters
The Sienna Mae Jack Wright saga isn't just a piece of TikTok history. It's a case study.
It proved that "clout" can be a dangerous currency. When your entire livelihood depends on being liked, admitting you messed up feels like career suicide. So, you deny. You deflect. You write Medium posts about how school didn't teach you better.
But it also showed that the internet has a long memory. You can't just "body positivity" your way out of a consent violation.
Actionable Takeaways for Navigating Online Allegations:
If you’re following these kinds of stories or find yourself in a community where these discussions are happening, keep these things in mind:
- Look for the Evidence, Not the Aesthetic: Influencers are experts at looking sad on camera. Don't let a "sad beige" filter distract from the actual facts of a situation.
- Understand Consent: It’s not just about a "no." It’s about the presence of an enthusiastic "yes," and it's impossible to give if you’re unconscious or impaired.
- Support the Victim, Always: Regardless of the gender of the person coming forward, the initial step should always be to listen and provide space for their story without immediate skepticism.
- Demand Accountability: Following someone is a form of support. If an influencer's actions don't align with your values, you have the power to stop giving them your "view" currency.
The transition from 18 to 22 is a massive growth period for anyone. For Sienna and Jack, those years were spent in the harshest possible spotlight. Whether or not true "healing" has happened is something only they know, but for the rest of the world, the lesson remains clear: boundaries aren't optional, even when the cameras are off.
