When a woman is cleaning her ice maker, she discovers how disgusting it can be when the self-cleaning setting isn’t turned on. Dirt and mold build up.
Some people love cleaning; others hate it. But all of us have to do it. And now, there’s another thing we need to clean we didn’t even realize — our ice makers! Yes, despite the fact that the only thing to go in an ice maker is water, it still gets capital “D” disgusting. Luckily, TikToker Kat Allen (@katallen8) is here to remind us to clean our ice makers.

Kat shared a TikTok video of what happened when she discovered an extra filter on the ice maker that she could remove, and that amount of grime is vomit-worthy. You know when you clean your shower drain? It felt like that. I was literally gagging. But in this case, it’s worse … because this machine is making something that you drink.

Kat Allan shared TikTok videos in which she discovers how disgusting her ice maker can get.
In the first video, which got almost 5 million views, Kat shows us the inside of her ice maker as she cleans it since she noticed her “ice was tasting a little weird.” Almost every bit of the ice maker is covered in some sort of brown grime. She said she cleans the ice maker almost every two weeks and just now noticed that there’s a whole other drain for cleaning it upside down.

Kat uses bleach and Dawn power wash to clean out the machine. But it gets worse in the second video, which got almost 13 million views. She didn’t realize until now that the filter cap could be removed, and when she takes it off, she’s faced with a pool of mold and dirt. That’s the filter where water gets sucked in, which made Kat feel “instant death.”

She asks, “How have I not died?” Honestly, we’re wondering the same thing! With that amount of mold in her system from the ice she has been drinking for over a year and a half, she must have gotten mold poisoning at some point. I didn’t even know ice makers needed to be cleaned! Luckily I don’t have one, but still. Everything that makes life easier also makes it harder.

Commenters are now spreading the horror far and wide imagining restaurant ice makers.
We can already picture the horror film: The Attack of the Ice Maker! It builds up mold, unknowingly to its staff and its customers, and one day, the mold evolves into a flesh-eating virus. It could be the newest zombie franchise! But in all seriousness, everyone who sees this video can’t help but wonder how often restaurants clean their ice makers.

One commenter even said that they never order ice at restaurants because of this. But imagine trying to get a margarita or martini without getting a little shake or stir. Warm tequila or gin sounds even grosser than moldy ice … right? Even when I worked in a restaurant that had daily routines in place to comply with health and safety rules, the ice maker wasn’t once mentioned in the handbook.

Still, one person mentioned how perhaps Kat’s ice maker became her immune booster. She responded saying, “Maybe that’s why I didn’t die during the three times I caught COVID. Maybe! I don’t know. I’m not trying to find out again though.” Anything is possible, but we doubt regular exposure to mold is a decent replacement for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Regardless, Kat’s video is a lesson to all of us to use the self-cleaning function for our ice makers! And if we’re going to shell out to buy an ice maker in the first place, we might as well get one that’s self-cleaning.

What happened to Krayzie Bone?
Anthony is in the hospital because he suffers from an autoimmune condition known as sarcoidosis. The disease is inflammatory and causes the immune system to overreact to perceived threats, leading to pockets of inflamed tissue called granulomas.
Reports suggest that Anthony had a CAT scan that revealed one of his arteries was leaking into his lung, but surgery designed to stop the problem was not a success.

Now, reports suggest that Anthony is on a breathing machine and has been sedated.
This serious condition is genuinely worrisome, and it’s unclear when or if Anthony will ever wake up from his medically induced coma. As a result of his severe condition, many celebrities and others who knew Anthony well or were even just big fans have offered their thoughts and prayers following the news that he was hospitalized.

Now, the group’s other members are worried about their friend, and hoping he can pull through following this hospitalization. Sarcoidosis is a serious illness, and it’s one that is difficult to treat because it is a disease of the autoimmune system. The coming days will be crucial in understanding where Anthony’s condition ultimately goes from here, and whether he’s able to make a recovery or not.

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.

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.”

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

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.
