Portnoy read an Instagram story from the TikToker before inviting Tayler Holder to the podcast.
Holder told a group of “upcoming influencers.” He remarked that while these things aided his achievement, they also had an impact on his friendships and familial relationships. It also had a mental toll on him.
At the end of his note, he requested others to contact him if they felt the same way.
The TikTok was then called by Holder’s team, according to Portnoy, so that the TikToker could handle the sizeable unfollowing spree that was going on.
Holder said that with greater power came greater responsibility and that he was sadder than he had ever been. Influencers who had unfollowed him, on the other hand, received no response. Instead, he talked about the cancel culture.
He indicated that the issues were being resolved off-line and would continue to do so. When Portnoy asked if he knew why people were unfollowing him, Holder stated that assumptions were being formed.
That is when Portnoy raised the issue of s*xual misconduct. They were vague, he added, and Holder concurred. He did not, however, deny the allegations.

According to the TikToker, much had been said about him and the claims, but they were not brought online.
The podcasters wanted him to explain his side of the story, but Holder insisted on keeping everything legal and off the internet.
At that point, Portnoy indicated that he had no idea whether or not the allegations of s*xual misbehavior were accurate. Holder joked that he did not have anything to hide.
Richards then intervened, alleging that Holder’s public relations team staged the interview and that Holder wanted to clear his name.
Holder refuted the report, to everyone’s surprise, claiming he had never heard of anything like it.
For the time being, that is all there is to this story. Only time will tell if the allegations of s*xual misconduct are accurate or if the whole thing was a PR stunt.
