The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shrimp saga has a not-so-sweet twist.
Comedian and writer Jensen Karp went viral this week for tweeting his unnatural discovery of sugar-coated shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Just a few days after the brand and its creator General Mills used a disturbing search to slam Twitter, social media suddenly replaced her. Karp, 41, is now being charged with lying, stealing the podcast concept and shaming a former sexual partner, among other charges.
Karp – who is married to “Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel (aka Topanga) and was formerly a baby rapper named Hot Carl – did not respond to the Post’s request for comment.
“Hahaha my hastily deleted subtitles yesterday said ‘Oh no I can’t follow the latest viral saga because I was blocked in 2014 b / c I wasn’t graceful enough after a surprise threesome!’ Before I was told to ‘be careful or I would never work in this city again’, ” Tweeted Screenwriter Stephanie Mikus on Wednesday. “The amount of women who would like me to DM with stories today. Alone let me tell you about people I have known for years and talk about our shared experiences. Oh, Lord.”
Actress Melissa Stetten also took to Twitter to tell him about taking her to release the PSA when she dated.
“Can’t You Know the Man Behind the Viral Post ‘as if he’s a manipulating gaslighting intoxicating ex-boyfriend who once told me he was surprised I didn’t kill myself because my life was so much Was it worthless? ” wrote Strict. “Still getting a lot of texts from girls on their terror in medicine.” At least we have this fun little club! “
Former co-workers are also speaking out against Karp.
“Just Fiji, the man with the shrimp tail is both a marketing professional and someone who bows my face in the blink of an eye” Tweeted Painter Brandon Bird.
When Mike Shinoda was the lead singer of the band Linkin Park, Tweeted Praise to Karp, calling him “a razor sharp-minded minder, an accomplished gallery owner and curator, brilliant radio and podcast personality, and all-around best friend,” Bird shot back “He is good for you because you are famous.”
Meanwhile, podcaster and comedian John Cullen claims that Karp has stolen intellectual property. “The next thing you know that Shrimp Man will claim is that he found the podcast idea and the name he stole from us in Cheerios’ bag,” Cullen wrote. “Anyway he has done a lot of bad things and has worked extensively for people and so this small part of it doesn’t really matter very much, but at least we’ll have all the memories.”
Karp is not the first person who suddenly gained internet fame for a relatively banana tweet, only to have the tide suddenly turn on him. In fact, it has happened many times, there is a word for it: to be Milkshake duck.
