The Ariel Helwani and Darren Till relationship turned sour when the pair engaged in a Twitter tirade
Things went south for Darren Till and Ariel Helwani’s friendly comradery over the years, if their Twitter exchange is to be believed. Ariel Helwani has been the mainstay of MMA reporting since its inception and glorious days. The reporter is known for his prying, nosy, and inquisitive interviews.
Till and Helwani have shared some fun banters in the past, and the Englishman is often seen using humor to voice his opinion. While he can definitely take a joke, it wouldn’t have been pleasant to be at the receiving end of the latest insult that Ariel Helwani hurled towards him.
The tirade began with Till saying, “Ur the worst thing to happen to MMA”
Helwani replied by saying “Still mad I didn’t want to sign with your fugazi crypto “company”? referring to the English Man’s business venture.
Till retaliated by saying “Don’t be jealous because I’m the founder of one of the fastest rising tech companies in the world bruh”
Helwani had the final laugh when he used Dillon Danis as a reference, another controversial figure who hasn’t fought in the longest time. “I’m just jealous you have as many wins as Dillon Danis since 2018 mate”
Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp sued Heard for $50 million over an op-ed she wrote in 2018, claiming it damaged his career. Heard did not name Depp in the article, entitled, “I spoke up against sexual violence—and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” Depp’s lawyers countered by saying it was definitely directed towards him.
Amber Heard issued a statement following the verdict on Instagram stating that Depp’s power and influence was weighed in more than the actual evidences she provided. She wrote, ‘ “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex husband.”
“It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke up could be publicly shamed and humiliated,” she said. “It sets back the idea that violence against women should be taken seriously.”
“I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the U.K.,” Heard said. In 2020, Depp sued the Sun newspaper and its parent company in the U.K. after it published an article that called him a “wife beater,” BBC News reports.
Darren Till reprimanded Heard for saying that she lost a right as an American. The actress limited her comments on Instagram which bothered Till who expressed his annoyance on Twitter.
He wrote, ‘ Amber heard posting on Instagram after losing her case against Jonny depp talking about not having the right as an American to have free speech anymore but turning her comments off on the post is exactly why this world is on its ass and everyone in it is a fuckwit along with her’
