Yung Filly might want to slow down—literally. The YouTuber-turned-rapper, whose real name is Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons in Australia. The 29-year-old is now facing charges of reckless driving after allegedly being caught speeding at 158 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on Nov. 17. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Already on bail for serious allegations of sexual assault in Perth, Filly’s latest brush with the law adds another layer of controversy. Police say his car was impounded after the speeding incident, and he’s set to appear in court on Dec. 19 to face charges ranging from reckless driving to multiple counts of sexual penetration without consent. The allegations stem from an incident in September when Filly allegedly assaulted a woman in his hotel room after a nightclub performance.
Known for his work with YouTube’s Beta Squad and appearances on shows like 'Soccer Aid' and 'The Great Celebrity Bake Off', Yung Filly has cultivated a reputation as an entertainer and media personality. But these recent accusations are casting a long shadow over his career.
Fans who once cheered for his charisma and comedy now face the uneasy question: has Filly’s rise to fame come at too high a cost? Whether he can clear his name or not, one thing’s certain—this story is far from over.
