Jack Doherty arrest sparks speculation over McKinley Richardson revenge rumor

Jack Doherty, a 22-year-old YouTuber who gained prominence through high-energy stunts and pranks, was arrested on November 14, 2025, in Miami Beach. Authorities alleged that Doherty was carrying illegal substances at the time of the incident and also resisted arrest. Doherty, who launched his channel at just 13 and rapidly built a massive online following, has previously attracted attention for increasingly risky content.

After news of the arrest surfaced, renewed speculation emerged regarding Doherty’s former partner, McKinley Richardson. Online theories circulated suggesting that the situation might have some connection to her, with social-media users framing the arrest as potential “revenge.” These rumors intensified when a cryptic message, allegedly directed to an individual named Michael Peters, went viral. The note implied that Doherty’s arrest was part of a broader pattern involving McKinley. However, as emphasized in the original reporting, none of these claims have been substantiated, and no official information links McKinley to the arrest.

Doherty and Richardson began dating in 2023, and their relationship drew public scrutiny after their unofficial Las Vegas wedding in November 2024. The event became controversial when Doherty recited vows that McKinley later described as disrespectful to both her and her family. She stated that her father was deeply upset, reportedly leaving the ceremony in tears. The vows also included comments about infidelity and revenue from McKinley’s OnlyFans account, which she said were unexpected and hurtful.

Their relationship continued to deteriorate, eventually involving police intervention when McKinley alleged that Doherty threatened her during an argument while she attempted to collect her belongings. Additionally, unverified rumors circulated that Doherty began seeing her friend Camilla Araujo, though no confirmation has been provided.

While online discussions continue to link McKinley to the circumstances of Doherty’s arrest, the original reporting makes clear that these theories are speculative and unsupported by official evidence.
