New controversy surrounds Hollywood after two YouTubers allegedly caught Herschel Weingrod, writer of ‘Space Jam’, in the act of dating and flirting with an underage girl.
The girl, who appears in the video only seconds before leaving the scene, claims to be 15 years old, although the man claims he didn’t know her age and thought she was 23. Vitaly and Bradley Martin are the two content creators who filmed the scene.
However, the man claimed he was not that person and said his name was ‘Boris’, later saying he was “just flirting with her”. He then left the scene, but the YouTubers continued to chase him, even shooting him with two pink and blue gunpowder cannons.
He ended up taking refuge in a building, where a security guard appeared and barred the YouTubers from entering and told them that he knew nothing, giving Weingrod time to escape, although, according to the video, the police had already been alerted.
