Joe Gatto, the famous star from the hit comedy series Impractical Jokers, is surrounded by serious accusations. On March 20, a 19-year-old TikTok user named Joozyb posted a series of videos on TikTok, alleging that the Impractical Jokers’ former star had s*xually assaulted her. The video has sent a shockwave amongst Gatto’s fanbase, sparking a serious debate on the internet about the incident.
After the TikTok user posted the video alleging Gatto se*ually harassed her, she uploaded some follow-up videos explaining that the incident took place in September 2023. The meeting between the TikToker and Gatto took place in Milwaukee, where the actor-comedian was performing in 2023. Joozyb was at the restaurant with her sister and mother, where they approached Gatto for a photo, which was their first interaction.
Joe Gatto’s 2023 Milwaukee visit lends him into trouble
Troublesome accusations have surrounded the improvisational comedian and actor Joe Gatto, who is facing allegations of se*ually assaulting a TikTok user in 2023 during his Milwaukee visit. The news escalated when a TiKTok user started sharing details of her meeting with Gatto in 2023, which led to a bitter experience for her—citing that Gatto, despite being a ‘big name,” deserved to be unmasked in front of the world.
Joozyb posted a video on TikTok on this Thursday and said:
I got se*ually assaulted by Joe Gatto, the Impractical Joker.
She then delves into the details of their meeting, explaining that after their first encounter at a restaurant, she texted Gatto on Instagram to secure free tickets to his show. Luckily, she got two tickets to the Gatto’s show and a pass to meet and greet. The reports also confirm that Gatto was present in Milwaukee on September 8, 2023. (via. People Magzine)
Joe Gatto and TikTok user Joozyb met in a hotel
TikTok user Joozyb took the pain of explaining the whole event and what led to the unfortunate incident. In the net video, she remarked that she attended the show alone and was able to get clicked with Joe Gatto. When she returned home, she got drunk with her roommate and started chatting with Gatto on Instagram.
The initial conversation revolved around basic things, but Joozyb remarked that things started getting weird as the conversation began stretching. She mentioned in the video:
I was drunk, whatever, and he was texting me all this stuff. And, like, it was starting to get a little weird, you know.
She also claimed that Gatto set his messages on “vanish mode” on the Instagram chat setting, which disappears the chat context as soon as the person leaves the chat on Instagram. What followed next was a serious claim by the TikTok user Joozyb. She mentioned that Gatto gave her his hotel address and asked her to visit him.
To solidify her claims, she showed an image from the hotel with a timestamp of September 9, 2023, at 2:26 a.m., when she left the hotel. According to Joozyb, she was accompanied by a person in the elevator. She said in the video:
Somebody led me to the elevator, and somebody was on the elevator with me and pressed the button.
Before she posted the videos on TikTok, she shared a few images and screenshots of her conversation with Gatto. The images hinted at brushed body parts, which Joozyb claimed was from her encounter with Gatto. She ended the video with:
I’ve been wanting to tell people this for so long. I’ve like, tried in different ways, but it’s hard with somebody this big, [I] come to the realization that if I do say something, that I’m really saying something.
Joe Gatto has not publicly addressed the allegations against him, and there have been no media comments regarding the situation. These accusations threaten to overshadow Gatto’s legacy as a comedian. Known for his lighthearted antics, he now faces scrutiny as the public struggles to reconcile his on-screen persona with the serious nature of the allegations.
