Did Jack Harlow get Sophia Nur pregnant?

At the time of writing, there is no discernible proof that Jack Harlow actually got Sophia Nur pregnant, and much of what is being accused is no more than just accusations.

Mike Majlak, YouTuber and co-host of the Impaulsive podcast alongside Logan Paul, revealed that he met Sophia in Atlanta in April 2021, alleging that she met Jack Harlow “and many others” that night.

Jack was trending on Twitter as a result of the unfolding drama, but he hasn’t yet spoken publicly about Sophia, whether he impregnated her or whether he even knows her.

Did Sophia Nur really scam influencers for $11m?

There have been many tweets and posts online suggesting that Sophia scammed these influencers and celebrities for a total of $11m.

This figure appears to be unsubstantiated, with the figure not being provided or mentioned throughout the Twitter Space.

The accusations point to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, being earned through her “scams” — but $11m might be overstepping the mark.
