Is Jorobe Banned From TikTok? He Left the App After Grooming Allegations
Jorobe Has Left the Internet After a TikToker Accused Him of Grooming

Former widespread TikToker John Robert Bell, or @jorobe, has his followers wondering if he's been banned from the app after facing accusations of grooming. Both of his TikTok accounts, which once had hundreds of thousands of fans apiece, are now not on the platform.
What came about to Jorobe? He used to be accused of grooming through every other TikToker.
John used to have two common accounts on TikTok, @jorobe and @jorobeirl, where he had greater than 5 million fans combined. On these accounts, he would often name out other creators and used to be often thought to be to be very politically right kind, as he allegedly wanted to make the site a more secure position for younger users.
But regardless of the well-meaning image John attempted to place on the web, he just lately confronted allegations from some other TikToker of grooming.
TikToker @dylg16, whose actual name is Dylan, posted a video alleging that John was once “certainly one of the biggest hypocrites I've ever met in my lifestyles," as the creator had attempted to groom him.
Dylan claims John joined one of his livestreams on the app and asked him for his Snapchat, which Dylan gave him. The two continued a friendship, and Dylan invited John to join the Zoom calls he would often have with his friends.
"After a couple of week of John becoming a member of the Zooms, he asked me if I would need to get an Airbnb with him on my 18th birthday, which used to be over 3 months away," Dylan said. "At the time I thought it was a good idea and initially it used to be intended to be with people ... After a couple of extra days I started to understand the ones weren't his true intentions."
He said that John would send him listings for one-bedroom Airbnbs and offered to buy Dylan alcohol for his birthday.
Dylan claims he attempted to ask if other people could join them on the trip, but John continued to deflect before ultimately dropping it. John then allegedly asked everyone in Dylan's group, which included creators as young as 15, to complete a BDSM test "so he may see our kinks," Dylan said.
Eventually, John began trying to convince Dylan that his friends were talking about him behind his back, attempting to alienate him, Dylan claims.
Instead, Dylan's friends called Dylan to confront him, saying they felt he was being groomed by John. While Dylan initially denied this, he says he took time to reflect and realized they were right, dropping John without explanation. Dylan says that he eventually learned others had had similar experiences with John, which is what prompted him to speak up.
“I didn’t say anything for the past eight months because I thought I was the only one, until recently I found out that there are multiple people that John has groomed,” Dylan said. “John does not deserve to have any type of platform because if he does, he will continue this behavior and will not stop preying on teenagers. He is a disgusting and terrible person.”
Jorobe's TikTok accounts, Instagram account, and Twitter account have been deactivated.
Instead of responding to the accusations on-line, John has apparently deleted all of his social media accounts. Neither of his TikTok accounts are recently lively, and he has launched no other statement on the subject. As for fans' questions of whether or not there was any ban concerned, it is unclear at the moment.
Dylan has made no comment publicly if he's heard any non-public response from John at the moment.
