TikToks Colin Rea reveals he went to jail for robbery
TikTok star Colin Rea talked about his troubled past in a video recently uploaded to his TikTok account.
In the video, Colin, known to be an ex-convict, promised to reveal to his TikTok followers why he went to prison. The TikTok star, who has more than 21.2 million followers, made the promise in response to a question from a curious fan.
The video starts with Rea telling his fans that he wanted to make a deal with them.
He said that he had never revealed why he went to jail and that he would share his story if fans would give him one million likes. He repeated it at the end of the video.
However, Rea went on to reveal in a subsequent TikTok video that he was only trolling fans when he promised to reveal why he went to prison.
He said that fans who watch his live streams already know why he went to jail but people keep asking as if he’d never talked about it in the past.
