Motorboating Incident
During a livestream on January 21, 2025, Josh sexually assaulted Gianna Jean against her will. He also forcibly searched her and angrily put her in a headlock after responding to a TTS donation that she had his passport. [1] Both actions took place in front of her boyfriend.
This incident sparked massive outrage on the World of T-Shirts Subreddit, and Gianna later spoke out that the actions were not consensual and made her very uncomfortable. [2]
Background
Gianna Jean and her boyfriend were featured on a Mr. Based Parti stream. A text-to-speech donation came in that Gianna had Josh's passport, and Josh became visibly upset, physically attacking her and putting her in a chokehold while asking if she took his passport. After he lets go, he forcibly searches her. Later on, Mr. Based insists that Josh motorboats Gianna, which he does so three times by putting his face on her breasts. [3]
