Submission 12,503

Overview

Bentellect Accusations by Jordan Maxx refers to a series of allegations against TikToker Ben Tarrolly, better known as Bentellect, first made by adult entertainer Jordan Maxx claiming Bentellect attempted to film a podcast with her just so he could film an OnlyFans video with her, canceling the podcast appearance after she refused. The accusations were made in late July 2023 and inspired other OnlyFans models and content creators to come forward with similar accusations against Bentellect, sharing DMs as purported evidence. Bentellect denied the accusations in mid-August 2023.

Background

On July 29th, 2023, X^[1] user and adult model and actress @TheJordanMaxx posted a series of DMs with the names cropped out, writing:

I was invited to be on a podcast by a pretty popular TikTok creator and 3 hours before we were supposed to record he asked me if I wanted to make an OnlyFans video with him, which I declined, and 1 hour before we were supposed to meet up, he cancelled and this is why 🤬

The DMs show the alleged TikToker asking Maxx, "Do you wanna make a video for only fans?" to which she refuses, saying he needs a "TTS test" (a type of STD test for adult entertainers)^[8] and an OnlyFans creator account. He clarifies that he means a video for her page, she asks what kind of video and he responds, "I don't know what performs the best on your page," then claims he's trying to help her since she is going to help him with his content. She again says no, then he responds, "Hey gonna do the pickle video with someone else. Thanks tho." When she asks why, he responds, "To be honest, I thought it would just be fun to film and see where things go, but I got it." The post gained over 1,200 likes in two weeks.

In a follow-up comment, Maxx clarified that they were going to do a pickle taste test, which she claims was her idea, writing, "but now he’s just gonna take my idea and do it with someone else? Fucking typical." Later that day she directly tagged Bentellect on X, suggesting he was the one who sent the DMs. Bentellect is a reaction TikToker and YouTube creator who recently started a podcast. He is best known for the Benny Boy meme.
