Update 8:48am CT, Jan. 12: Tessi declined to answer questions by the Daily Dot via Instagram DM but noted that the person she spoke to was not a “confirmed” cancer patient and added: “she did NOT have cancer hence me continuing trolling.” She later tweeted: “YA I SAID THAT” alongside a screengrab of this article.

An influencer is receiving backlash after berating an alleged cancer patient for nearly 10 minutes on Omegle. She called the individual “deformed” and poked fun at their physical appearance, repeatedly calling them “fat and ugly.”
The influencer, whose username is Playmate Tessi, is a Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and content creator on OnlyFans. A Reddit video posted Saturday shows Tessi makes fun of an individual’s physical appearance on Omegle, a popular chat website. She calls them “disgusting” and tells them they “look like a reptile.”
“You’re fat as shit, you’re ugly as hell, your forehead looks scary,” Tessi says. “You actually look deformed and I think you’re a special needs.”
Tessi says that she is on Omegle because she is a “celebrity” and is “paid to be here.” She continues to call the individual a “fat bitch” and calls them the R-slur. She says that she will not include it in her video, because she would “get canceled.”
Eventually, Tessi asks the individual, who remains unidentified, if they are wearing a wig and says, “Take off your wig.” She repeatedly yells at the cancer patient to take off their wig and says, “That’s embarrassing… Do you have cancer?”
“You are such a loser, you’re wearing a wig cause you’re bald,” Tessi says. “Not the cancer, you have fucking cancer. You are such a loser, how pathetic can you be.”
Tessi continues to berate the individual for the remainder of the video and says, “Try fucking canceling me and I will literally take your Make-A-Wish and all your cancer money.” At the end of the video, the individual says, “Now we can see how insecure you are.”
Given that she does NSFW work, the possibility exists that the video was staged. Tessi, who did not immediately respond to the Daily Dot’s request for comment, posted a live-stream video on YouTube Sunday titled “IM SORY.”
In the video, commenters brought up the Omegle video and she said, “I’m not going to apologize, I’m not sorry for anything.” She did not provide an excuse for the behavior.
“I’m not fucking sorry, I didn’t do anything,” Tessi said. “If you guys really want me to apologize, then I’ll fucking do it but just know that it’s gonna be fake.”
One Twitter user wrote that they don’t think “you can cancel someone with 196 followers.” Another called her a “genuine piece of shit.” Others are attempting to remove Tessi from Twitch.
