Judge Denies TikToker’s Bid To Unmask Reddit Poster

Alireza Shafiei, known online as PrettyBoyAli, is a popular content creator on TikTok who didn’t appreciate a small post on Reddit criticizing him and sharing a clip that showed Shafiei yelling at one of his viewers during a livestream. Shafiei wanted Reddit to reveal the identity of the user who posted it via a DMCA request.

A judge ruled that won’t be happening. In July 2025, Reddit user tiktoktruthseeker posted a video from a past Shafiei livestream in the Favorited Ranks Drama subreddit. The 27-second clip showed an agitated Shafiei aggressively insulting someone in the chat, telling the person that “when you were in school you got fucked in the ass” and further adding that the viewer “liked it” when “guys” did that.

He also called the viewer’s mom a bitch.
