Jack Colin Doherty was born on October 8, 2003, in Long Island, New York, to Mark and Anna Doherty. [3] He is of Irish and Polish descent. In 2021, Doherty graduated from North Shore High School. [4] He dated McKinley Richardson from 2023 to 2025.

Career

Early career

Doherty's first video, uploaded on September 29, 2016, featured him flipping markers twice in a row. The video quickly gained popularity, amassing 29 million views by October 2024. [5] His early content primarily consisted of flipping various objects, from markers to water bottles. [6]

Rise to fame

On January 13, 2017, Doherty uploaded 'I Flipped All These', a video that marked his breakthrough into mainstream popularity. The video went viral, significantly boosting his subscriber count and establishing him as a prominent YouTuber. [7] [8]

Controversies

Halloween party incident

In October 2023, Doherty attended Corinna Kopf's Halloween party, where he was involved in a verbal altercation with other guests. The situation escalated when his bodyguard allegedly attacked one of the guests, leading to a lawsuit for assault and battery filed on February 21, 2024. [9]

Car crash

On October 5, 2024, during a live stream, Doherty hydroplaned along Florida's Turnpike, crashing his McLaren 570S while reading his chat while driving. [10] The car was totaled on impact. This led to his ban from the streaming platform Kick. His cameraman, referred to as Michael, was injured and bleeding from his head. [11] Michael received stitches at the hospital. [12] Doherty was cited by Florida Highway Patrol for manipulating a wireless communication device while driving. [13] On January 9, 2025, he was unbanned from Kick, [14] but he was banned again 9 days later, following a fight between him, his security and a heckler which was livestreamed on the platform. [15]

Biking incident

In late February 2025, Doherty broke his collarbone during a failed biking stunt, stating that it was his "worst accident yet." [16]
