Anthony Dawson, better known online as TooTurntTony, built a multimillion-dollar social media empire on viral chaos, backyard pranks, bikini-clad skits, and increasingly outrageous stunts. But behind the beer-chugging videos and duck-filled antics, new claims are painting a far more complicated picture of the influencer’s life off-camera.
The 31-year-old content creator, who boasts more than 21 million TikTok followers, is facing renewed scrutiny after details surfaced about an explicit OnlyFans account, legal troubles, and bombshell allegations from an ex-girlfriend who described their relationship as “super toxic.”
While Dawson’s public image largely revolves around over-the-top comedy skits and party-fueled content, the influencer has reportedly been operating a much more explicit business behind the scenes.
Since late 2023, Dawson has allegedly run an OnlyFans account where subscribers pay $25 a month for adult content that goes far beyond his family-friendly social media persona. According to reports, the content includes revealing photos, underwear modeling, and explicit videos involving women, a sharp contrast from the prank-heavy brand that helped turn Dawson into one of social media’s most recognizable personalities.
The Michigan native, who first gained traction creating videos about wetland conservation and duck ranching, later transformed his online fame into a lucrative business empire. The influencer has landed major brand deals with companies including Crocs, Celsius, Fireball Whisky, and Kraken Rum, launched his own hard iced tea brand, signed with talent agency CAA, and even has a horror movie, Skinwalker Island, reportedly in development.
Ex Describes Relationship As ‘Super Toxic’
Meanwhile, Dawson’s former girlfriend, Briana Armbruster, better known to fans as Ski Mask Girl, is opening up about their years-long relationship. Armbruster, who frequently appeared alongside Dawson in viral videos while concealing her identity beneath a ski mask, recently spoke candidly about the relationship on her podcast, “F-ck It, Mask Off.”
According to Armbruster, things quickly spiraled after she and Dawson met while she worked as a waitress in Michigan. She alleged Dawson encouraged her to wear revealing outfits for increasingly extreme comedy skits and described the dynamic as controlling.
Armbruster claimed the ski mask was not simply part of the brand, but a way to limit her visibility. “The point was to hide your face,” she said, alleging Dawson did not want her receiving “free clout.”
The influencer also described behind-the-scenes tension, claiming she often played the role of a loyal partner while Dawson partied with other women.
Dangerous Stunts Allegedly Came With Real Consequences
Armbruster also detailed several painful experiences while filming Dawson’s content. In one alleged stunt, she claimed Dawson spit beer, soup, and raw eggs into her mouth through the ski mask, later saying she contracted salmonella and spent an entire day sick.
Another prank reportedly became a breaking point in their relationship after a golf-themed stunt went painfully wrong. The controversies surrounding Dawson’s content extend beyond his ex’s claims.
Over the years, several stunts have reportedly left friends and family injured. In one video, Dawson’s mother, Lisa, broke her arm. His sister, Maria, allegedly became ill after being duct-taped to a wall, while an intern reportedly claimed he suffered two broken ribs after being shoved down an embankment during filming.
Even Dawson himself has not escaped injury, previously filming the aftermath of a serious knee injury in 2023.
TooTurntTony Faced Legal Trouble Over Shark Stunts
Dawson’s content has also landed him in legal trouble. In 2024, the influencer was reportedly banned from Daytona Beach after sharing footage of himself dragging a tiger shark from the water.
In a separate case, Dawson faced charges tied to the mishandling of a protected sandbar shark in Lee County, Florida. He later resolved the matter by paying $700 in fines and donating to a state wildlife fund.
At the time, Dawson called the ordeal “a learning experience.” “Don’t film dumb sh-t,” he told fans. “But if you have to, don’t post it.”
Psychologist Warns Viral Fame Could Be Catching Up To TooTurntTony
Psychologist Toby Ingham, author of “A Guilty Victim,” suggested Dawson’s increasingly chaotic public persona may reflect the darker side of influencer culture. “He’s living out a fantasy life encouraged by fans and by social media itself, but it’s not sustainable,” Ingham said. “What happens when you run out of fuel, when the balloon bursts, and you just fall to the ground? There’s no safety net for you.”
The psychologist described Dawson’s online image as a “shadow fantasy” built around excess, impulsivity, and spectacle. “He’s got this charismatic, funny, creative energy. But it’s without any anchor, without any kind of moral foundation,” Ingham said. “It’s just energy – like a firework going off. It could go anywhere, and it could harm anyone, but on the way, it’s spectacular.”
For now, Dawson continues posting content to millions of loyal fans. But between the ex-girlfriend allegations, legal troubles, and growing scrutiny surrounding his off-camera life, cracks may be beginning to show in the influencer’s carefully crafted TooTurntTony empire.
