Corey And His Ankle Monitor Having Some Fun On TikTok
On Wednesday, Corey took to TikTok to flaunt his newly bedazzled device and share a public service announcement. In the video, Corey says:
“I can’t help that I got put in a situation and they put an ankle monitor on my ankle… I’m going to have fun with it because I’m innocent.”
While flashing the customized monitor in front of the camera, he goes on to talk about how he isn’t in the streets and made over a million dollars from social media.
The content creator didn’t stop there. Corey continued posting TikToks featuring the studded ankle monitor, further embracing the attention surrounding his case.
Corey’s Latest Social Media Antics
This isn’t the first time he has stirred up social media since his release. Last week, he made headlines after posting TikTok videos dancing and trolling to his ex, Carmen, and her current boyfriend Big Boogie’s music.
His playful approach to the serious allegations against him has sparked mixed reactions from fans. While some find humor in his antics, others believe he should focus more on his legal situation.
The Status of Corey’s Legal Troubles
After appearing before a judge last month, Corey Pritchett Jr. was released on a $200,000 bond.
According to Harris County records, he is facing two counts of aggravated kidnapping. As a condition of his release, he must wear a GPS ankle monitor and surrender all travel documents, including his passport.
Despite the charges, he has maintained his innocence, claiming he was being set up the night of the alleged kidnapping.
His next court appearance is scheduled for early April, where more details regarding his case will unfold. Until then, it looks like Corey is making the most of his situation—one TikTok at a time!
