Kyle Rittenhouse’s TikTok account becomes major focal point in trial
Kyle Rittenhouse’s TikTok account became a major focal point in his trial after prosecutors displayed and questioned the teenager about his profile on the video-sharing platform.
18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse is being charged with multiple homicides and unlawful possession of a firearm after killing two and injuring a third during civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in November 2020.
AsKyle took to the standto defend himself during the trial, the prosecutor brought up and questioned the teenager about his TikTok account.
Prosecutor Thomas Binger asked Rittenhouse about his TikTok account named ‘4doorsmorewh*res’. The account had 24 followers and has since been taken down from the platform, but an old screenshot was displayed in the courtroom.
Kyle was asked about the account, where the prosecutor specifically mentioned the profile picture which showed the teenager holding a rifle. Rittenhouse’s account bio also read “Bruh, I’m just trying to be famous.”
The mentioning of the teenager’s TikTok has agitated many across social media. Some argue that it was unnecessary to mention the TikTok account. “The clown show continues,” said one, along with the clip of the prosecution talking about Kyle’s TikTok.
What the hell is the point of that line of questioning? Just demonstrates that he’s a typical teenage boy with typical teenage boy sense of humor.
