If you’ve ever been down a YouTube binge hole and found a video of a certain individual in a cowboy hat willingly getting stung, bitten, or attacked by some seriously dangerous insects and animals, odds are you’ve stumbled on Coyote Peterson and his Brave Wilderness team’s content.

For better or worse, Coyote and his cohorts have attracted millions of curious viewers over the years due to their willingness to do what virtually nobody else will: go toe-to-toe with potentially deadly creatures.

That willingness has made Brave Wilderness a channel unlike any other, and netted them over 19 million subscribers in the process! Of course, that isn’t an easy feat, but it came with a lot of hard work (and maybe even a few hospital trips).

With that being said, the internet begs the question: What happened to the show’s main host, Coyote Peterson, and why doesn’t he appear on his YouTube channel as much anymore? Here’s what we know about the eclectic star’s current whereabouts and doings.

What happened to Coyote Peterson? His career has blown up thanks to his YouTube channel.

Although fans may have come to learn who Coyote is through his series Brave Wilderness, his fame has exploded over the last few years, and thanks to this, he has finally nabbed an official television deal!

While Coyote still makes appearances on Brave Wilderness sometimes (he started the channel, after all), he is now largely focused on his new syndicated program on Animal Planet titled Brave the Wild. In his absence, Mark Vins and Mario Aldecoa have filled in as frequent hosts.

Coyote initially announced his retirement from YouTube when the deal with Animal Planet was signed in 2020. He told fans that his focus was going to be on the new show and not so much getting stung and bitten for others’ enjoyment.

Nonetheless, he came out of YouTube retirement shortly after that announcement for a video where he took a sting from an eastern cicada killer wasp. Ever since, he has occasionally jumped back in for more sting content, such as a killer wasp video in June 2021.

Coyote was stung by a ‘suicide plant.’

The Gympie plant, also known as the suicide plant, is relatively common in Australia. If touched, it can put out toxins that are deadly resulting in a “sting.” He made a post on Instagram of some pretty gruesome welts. Plus, he said that he has nerve damage.

For his new show, Coyote tapped Mario (and a crew) to embark on a journey across the globe, spotlighting different species of insects and animals that haven’t often been given much attention in major media. This has been bolstered by the constant message the team pushes through it all: promoting habitat conservation and a greater awareness of the other creatures living on our planet.

During a chat with Mental Floss, Coyote described the goals of his television series, saying it was created “to inspire people to overcome their fears of these seemingly dangerous animals and learn to admire them from a safe distance. The more you understand these creatures, the less you are afraid of them. One of the messages I try to convey in every episode is the importance of conservation.”

You can catch up on episodes of Coyote’s Brave the Wild via Discovery+, where it is streaming now.

“Victoria’s Secret Karen” Lawsuit Says She Was Mislabeled

Published

on

The legal teams for Abigail Elphick and Ijeoma Ukenta, have said the “Victoria’s Secret” Karen viral video wasn’t about race, as previously assumed.

Just the Gist:

  • Abigail Elphick and Ijeoma Ukenta were involved in a viral TikTok that gave Abigail the nickname “Victoria’s Secret Karen”
  • Abigail’s legal team states she suffers from multiple mental and physical health conditions.

  • Ijeoma sued Abigail and Victoria’s Secret in 2023 for reportedly being “extremely dismissive” during the ordeal.

Since 2020, the term “Karen” has been a social stigma on white women in U.S. society. The term spawned a meme and a character trait, as cases viral videos of white women threatening to call the police and other authorities on strangers who were notably Black or other people of color began emerging on TikTok and other platforms.

In July 2021, Abigail Elphick, a then-25-year-old white woman living in Milburn, N.J., found herself labeled as the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” after chasing a Black woman named Ijeoma Ukenta for recording her behavior in the famed lingerie store.

Two years after their “Victoria’s Secret Karen,” incident went viral, Abigail and Ijeoma filed lawsuits against one another, with Abigail stating the public mislabeled her and her intentions on that fateful day.

Legal filings revealed “Victoria’s Secret Karen” Abigail Elphick has a “long history of medical and psychological conditions.”

By now, millions of social media users have seen Abigail and Ijeoma’s viral TikTok exchange (and if you haven’t keep scrolling!), which involved Abigail hysterically crying as she begs Ijeoma “please don’t record me” and chasing Ijeoma around the store. In September 2023, Abigail and her legal team shared that the truth behind the video is vastly different than what viewers were led to believe.

According to The New York Times (via Yahoo), legal filings show that Abigail, who was quickly labeled Victoria’s Secret Karen on TikTok and other social platforms, was “disabled, with a long history of medical and psychological conditions” when she entered the Victoria’s Secret store.

Abigail’s team argues that her conditions prompted her “mental health breakdown” and that her behavior at Victoria’s secret wasn’t “race-based.” They stated Abigail was upset because she feared she would lose her job and her apartment, as she lives in a residence for those with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

The latter reportedly happened, as court records show Abigail received a call from a stranger threatening to rape and kill her, and other online users demanding she lose her internship as a local school district. The call prompted Tom Toronto, president of Bergen County’s United Way, the company that runs Abigail’s residence, to speak out in her defense.

“She has a disorder. She has anxiety,” he explained to The Times. “She had a meltdown. Then the world we live in took over, and it became something entirely different than what it actually was.”

Ijeoma Ukenta filed a lawsuit in July 2023 against Abigail and Victoria’s Secret.

Abigail’s September 2023 comments were in response to Ijeoma’s July 2023 lawsuit against Abigail and Victoria’s Secret.

On July 6, Ijeoma, a content creator, sued Abigail, Victoria’s Secret, and the store’s security guards. Ijeoma stated in her complaint that the store’s security “were extremely dismissive toward her,” and were “indifferent and nonchalant about her concerns for her safety.”

Amid Ijeoma’s filing, Abigail’s counterclaim accused Ijeoma of “harassment” for discussing her and Abigail’s altercation online.

Since the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” video went viral, Ijeoma has received flack for profiting off the incident.

Ijeoma’s GoFundMe and additional content surrounding her initial video caused many people following the story to raise their eyebrows. Several users, including Kasko Xero Vlogs stated she was using the incident for fame and money. In Abigail’s complaint, her lawyers accused her of making “a job out of preying on individuals from behind a keyboard,” and “inciting hate” online.

Ijeoma and her lawyer, Tracey Hinson, have defended the YouTuber profiting from her experience with Abigail. In 2021, Ijeoma said on X, formerly Twitter, that she was well within her rights to “make $ off MY videos if everyone else is.”

The entrepreneur’s attorney also believed it’s her client’s “right” to discuss the situation however she sees fit, especially after being deemed a liar by many in the Milburn community.

“She knew that in Millburn, New Jersey, she would not be believed,” Hinson stated. “And that is exactly what has transpired.”
