A man whose 'angry reaction' videos turned him into an overnight sensation on TikTok has revealed that he has been homeless for the past few months after being evicted from his home. 
Oneya Johnson, a 22-year-old who lives in his car in Lafayette, Indiana, earned one million followers in just 24 hours thanks to his brilliant videos in which he watches other people's content and angrily yells positive messages and praise. 
'I basically took how the world sees me, and how I really am, and just matched it together,' he told BuzzFeed News. 'If I passed you on the street and I don’t say a word, I look like the angriest person in the world. But when you actually get to know me, I'm actually a really positive person.'

'Charli, I don't know when was the last time you heard these words, but I am so proud of you, alright? You are very young, taking care of your business,' he says. 'I don't even like coffee but I'm at Dunkin' Donuts right now, and I'm gonna support you

However, what many of Johnson's fans are unaware of is that he has been filming his viral videos in his car and other people's homes as he is currently homeless.
He told BuzzFeed News that his former landlord evicted him from the rental he shared with his ex, Jillian, in Michigan a few months ago.
According to both Johnson and Jillian, neighbors had complained a number of times about their loud shouting matches and allegedly called the cops.

Johnson noted that there were never any charges pressed against him, and Jillian confirmed that they are on good terms.   
'Oneya is big and his voice is bigger than mine, so neighbors could only hear him,' she told BuzzFeed News of why her ex was the one who was evicted. 
The former couple has two children together, and she has since moved to Lafayette, so they can work on their relationship. 
Jillian said she is 'very proud' of Johnson's success, noting that is on-screen persona is actually 'who he really is.'  
'He’s really like that,' she explained. 'Everyone has their other side of course. That’s everybody, but he’s a pretty good guy.'
