Previously, Larray did a proper genuine apology for partying during the pandemic. His close friend Nikita Dragun threw a big party inviting all of the most popular TikTokers and influencers over. This caused a lot of backlash with some like Tyler Oakley calling Larray out.
Though, Larray did not deflect and get defensive. He sincerely apologized for his mistakes and vowed to do better.
Let’s see if people will let him off the hook completely or not. As we know, the internet just needs a reason to hate on someone these days.
