To think Ollie Murs is a disgrace based on his TikTok?

I don't generally use TikTok, but this stupid thing has been shared right across my social media.

Basically, he made a video of himself cutting the bottom out of a Pringles can. Then took a video of himself and his girlfriend watching tv, eating Pringles from the can, placed on his crotch--so eventually she reached in to find her hand on his penis, which was poked through the bottom of the can.

So, as a joke, he got her to unexpectedly touch his penis. And made a video of himself doing it. On a platform largely used by young people.

Is it just me, or is getting someone to touch your genitalia without consent actually sexual assault?

Squeezing your partners bum is inappropriate?! Confused

MissHoskins · 05/05/2020 10:37

It's a bit Carry On Camping type humour, outdated and juvenile, wasn't funny then, isn't funny now.

Lynda07 · 05/05/2020 10:39

Silly and not what I would have expected of Olly Murs but I daresay he can be forgiven, he's always struck me as a nice chap. I've no idea who his girlfriend is.

DrinkVeneer · 05/05/2020 10:40

Always looks like he needs a good wash, that lad. Clarty. And, no, the tiktok isn't funny.

Iwantacookie · 05/05/2020 10:44

His gf does pranks on him too. Hers are alot tamer though and do think he may of gone a tad too far this time.
Hes on the cusp for me what he does next could make me either like him or loathe him.
I was more concerned about why they had not dip for the pringles though.Confused

TikTok is the social media of choice for 10 year olds. Is there anything to stop them seeing it?

I don't think there's any problem with him doing that at home with consent, though I can't imagine being friends with a man who wants to put something like that on social media at 35 - or even at 20, to be honest.

I think 10 year old boys - or any age really - seeing it and thinking it's Ok outside a consensual relationship is really wrong.

And I always think - what would happen if the genders were reversed. Because women are so much less likely to be trying to trick men into touching their private parts...

10 year olds should not be on Tik Tok, some of the stuff on there is shocking

Rachie1973 · 05/05/2020 10:52

They both play pranks on each other on their tik tok account.

LINABE · 05/05/2020 10:53

@NameChange84
I agree with your comments and have noticed the same things about him. He is not a nice person.

TikTok is the social media of choice for 10 year olds.

Its on the TikTok TOS that its for ages 13 and up, this age range should already be aware through school and at least semi decent parenting about consent. Perhaps its lazy parents that are kicking off about him not being a good role model for their DC when they should be actually parenting

Just for the record I'm not an OM fan in any way

Parents maybe? 🤔

cornersteps · 05/05/2020 10:58

I thought tik tok was a kids thing? If so, then yeah he's a disgrace.

No. It's absolutely not. Anyone who lets their kids on TikTok is the disgrace.

As for OM, not a fan but it's not hard to see this is a staged prank video in amongst many many other staged prank videos he makes with his girlfriend. If you believed it to be genuine OP I would be concerned. It's obviously fake. It obvious she knows what is going on. It's even more obviously not sexual assault Hmm

gingersausage · 05/05/2020 11:00

I find it weird that so many on this thread find this sort of stuff funny. It’s just so puerile and juvenile - how is it even remotely attractive in a nearly 40 year old man?

cornersteps · 05/05/2020 11:01

It shouldn't be a choice that a 10 year old is given

Is there anything to stop them seeing it?

Well I mean, parents Confused

B0bbin · 05/05/2020 11:02

He's a prick

Saladaysior · 05/05/2020 11:02

@Bishybarnybee I’m more concerned that you think Tiktok is for 10 yr old children Than than Olly Murs might be committing sexual assault

To be clear, I think it’s childish and inappropriate to post that on any form of social media. But you only have to look at a couple of their ‘pranks’ to see that he and his girlfriend are clearly planning them and videoing them a some sort of weird lockdown boredom past time. It’s not sexual assault for some one to willingly touch another persons genitalia. (Not that I think for a moment his cock is in the tube.) Let’s not minimise what sexual assault actually is.

ballsdeep · 05/05/2020 11:07

Onto more serious questions...... Did his penis fill the whole pringles tin?

user1493494961 · 05/05/2020 11:07

I hate the word 'pranking'.

pumpkinbump · 05/05/2020 11:17

@EthelMayFergus I'm crying at your reply!

Runmybathforme · 05/05/2020 11:18

So when my DH did his version of a sexy dance following his bath, then opened his dressing gown and ‘ windmilled ‘ , was I wrong to laugh ? Was I being sexually assaulted ? IDK, thought it was O.K. Who doI report him to ?
Don’t care about Ollie Purrs , just schoolboy silliness. Must be a laugh a minute in your house.

CockCarousel · 05/05/2020 11:22

Ew, Olly Murs has a penis sad

Tbh I prefer to him having a smooth area in his pants, like an Action Man.

to think of him. Sorry. The thought of Olly Mur’s cock rendered me temporarily illiterate.

FFS MURS

Thanks Pinkarsefly, your horror was tangible (and hilarious) Grin Grin

missyB1 · 05/05/2020 11:32

Runmybathforme no one cares what happens in the privacy of your own home where it’s just the two of you laughing along. It would have been really creepy and weird if your dh had then posted a video of it on social media - especially knowing teenagers would be watching.
Do you see the difference?

Apirateslifeforme · 05/05/2020 11:33

I probably wouldn't have my back up about that as much as the pool situation with his girlfriend.
Hes never been my cup of tea, but that's right put me off him.

IncrediblySadToo · 05/05/2020 11:39

@BubblyBarbara - you are

3luckystars · 05/05/2020 11:43

Pity a load of salt didn't go down the top of it.
