Jordan Maxx came forward with allegations against BenTellect. What did the social media star do?
In late July, an influencer named Jordan Maxx came forward with allegations that BenTellect is a total creep. And if there’s any truth to the leaked DMs, she’s not wrong.
In a tweet that has since gone viral, Jordan shared that she was “invited to be on a podcast by a pretty popular TikTok creator.” We now know that that “pretty popular” influencer was BenTellect.
According to Jordan, the day that they were supposed to link up to film the episode, Ben disinvited her from his show because she rejected his sexual advances.
“Three hours before we were supposed to record he asked me if I wanted to make an OnlyFans video with him, which I declined. And one hour before we were supposed to meet up, he canceled and this is why,” she tweeted alongside a series of screenshotted messages.

“I was just thinking you’re helping me with doing a video for YouTube so maybe I can help your OnlyFans,” the person we believe to be Bentellect said in a text.
After Jordan replied, “I’m good, thanks though,” he tells her not to worry about showing up.
“Hey gonna do the pickle video with someone else. Thanks though,” he says.
When she asked why, he responded: “To be honest, I thought it would just be fun to film where things go, but I got it.”

Another woman involved in the BenTellect controversy came forward with more allegations.
Jordan isn’t the only person who has made allegations against the YouTuber. Later, she returned to Twitter with even more screenshots that backed up her claims.
“So it turns out that I’m not the only one @BenTellect has tried this with … Another woman (who wishes to stay anonymous) DMd me with screenshots from conversations that she had with him as well,” she tweeted.

In the messages, Ben asked the woman if she “wanted to make some content,” and invited her to film a podcast episode. She doesn’t respond to his next several messages, but he keeps right on texting.
“I’ve also been thinking about this [OnlyFans] thing and I think I can make us a lot of money. Straight up,” the message reads.
When she doesn’t give her an answer as to when she’s coming over, he calls her “a flake.”
“Ya know if you wouldn’t have [texted] me so rudely calling me a flake after one day of not texting you might have stood a chance. I can see why you’re single now, goodbye,” she responds.
The person who we assume is Ben then tells her to go “f–k herself.”
This story seems to be developing by the minute. And to tell the truth, it’s not looking good for ole Benny Boy.
