Caroline Elise, a TikToker who goes by the handle @cornbreadasserole, posted a video last week recounting her alleged experience with Callaghan. In her video, she alleges Callaghan asked to stay at her place after having a falling out with one of his crew members. Though she said she told him she was not interested in sleeping with him, he nonetheless “eventually got my consent because he wore me down,” she said in the video. “I said whatever because I was trying to get the whole thing over with…it doesn’t discount that I told him no. [He] still found a way to coerce me into doing things I didn’t want to do.”
In the video, Elise said she did not wish to come forward, only doing so after Callaghan skyrocketed in popularity. “It’s even more hard to have to relive the trauma that I endured every single day by seeing this man as a social justice warrior, as someone who cares about human rights, get a platform,” she says. “You shouldn’t be supporting him
The reporting style of Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5 News can best be described as on-the-street interviews mixed with gonzo journalism. The 2021 Streamy award-winner’s ability to follow a story, no matter how wacky (and sometimes dangerous), has led him to some of the strangest places, from a pickup artist bootcamp to Hollywood Anti-Vax Rally. Like other viral journalists (along the lines of The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper, even though he’s focused on comedy), this approach took him to DC on January 6, 2021
Andrew Thomas Callaghan (born April 23, 1997) is an American journalist who came to prominence as the creator and star of the YouTube series All Gas No Brakes and Channel 5. He left All Gas No Brakes in March 2021 after contract disagreements with the show's production company Doing Things Media, and launched Channel 5 on YouTube one month later with funding from supporters on Patreon. He is considered a pioneer in YouTube-style gonzo journalism
Andrew Thomas Callaghan was born in Philadelphia on April 23, 1997,and grew up in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.He has said that he "hated every class from the first day of kindergarten to [his] last day of college" except for a journalism class he took in his junior year of high school.The teacher of that class convinced him to pursue his passion for journalism. During high school and a gap year before college, he interviewed people associated with the darknet market Silk Road, Occupy Seattle protesters, and juggalos.He later relocated to New Orleans, where he studied journalism on a full scholarship at Loyola University and worked as a doorman on Bourbon Street to support himself.
She continued explaining that on the night of the alleged sexual assault, the ‘All Gas No Brakes’ star told her that he needed a place to stay for one night and explained to her that “some sort of falling out” took place with one of his crew members. Elise claimed that eventually after he got in her bed, she agreed to “do things that I wasn’t proud of” and thought that it was her fault. Because she thought she was wrong, Elise claimed, she continued to be nice to Callaghan.
Ever since Elise’s Tiktok video was posted, multiple other women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Callaghan. In another clip, Elise shared the claims of other women shared anonymously who also said that Callaghan coerced them, and intoxicated them before the alleged sexual assault.
