A spa and cosmetics company is cutting ties with TikTok creator Tony Lopez in light of sexual harassment allegations.
Bliss Spa said in several comments on TikTok that the brand would no longer sponsor or collaborate with Lopez, a creator who has 22.2 million followers on the short-form video app.
When several users commented on a Bliss video questioning the company's ties with Lopez, the brand's account replied: "We take these accusations seriously and will not work w/ Tony Lopez going forward. We're committed to working w/ partners who uphold our brand values."
Bliss did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
Lopez is known for his dance videos as half of the Lopez Brothers, with his twin brother, Ondreaz. Both brothers are members of the Hype House, the TikTok collective that also features Addison Rae, Avani Gregg, Chase Hudson, Thomas Petrou, and several others.
Lopez, who turned 21 on Wednesday, has been accused of messaging underaged girls on social media in tweets and TikTok videos that have gone viral. One tweet from August 8 purports to show screenshots of messages between Lopez and a 15-year-old girl, and Instagram posts from the TikTok drama-tracking account TikTokRoom showed screenshots of Lopez allegedly soliciting nude photos from the girl.
A representative for Lopez did not immediately return Insider's request for comment and the TikTok star has not yet commented publicly on the allegations.
Lopez has previously come under fire for tweets that were deemed sexist and homophobic. One tweet from July 2019 said, "Goodnight to the girls that suck d--- only." He also used the word "gay" as a slur in a December 2016 tweet.
Lopez apologized for the comments in a July 10 tweet, after a thread showed examples of his past language. "Just wanted to apologize for any old childish tweets that I made 5–6 years ago if I offended anyone I apologize deeply, it offends me reading those now as well," he said.
