In the bizarre, meme-sustained world of influencer drama, nothing shocks us anymore but this? This was different. Picture Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson running away from SpongeBob SquarePants. That's the vibe we got when muscle-bound internet personality Ashton Hall was spotted bolting out of Westfields like it was the last day of summer camp.
In a video now circulating at the speed of a TikTok dance trend, Hall was scooting away from another content creator, Mo Deen, a name some of us are just looking up for the first time. This makes sense, considering Deen is a vlogger who tends to record conversations with strangers, often in public. According to their store, it's easy as pie, and yet it seemed to be all it took to shake the leviathan out of his bullish complacency.

Now, Ashton Hall is not exactly chopped liver. He's the kind of guy who has biceps that look like they have biceps. He's famous for his high-energy motivational content and, of course, running. Lots of running. But this time, it wasn't decoupled from a workout montage. This was all-hands survival mode.
In the video, Hall stages a dramatic exit after what appeared to be a rowdy run-in or, worse, a crappy-word scuffle with Mohammed Durrani. Internet sleuths have quickly speculated that Hall believed Mo had a knife. Whether that's the case is still a matter of contention. But what's confirmed? Ashton dipped. Fast.
And the move that turned this entire thing from "weird" to "legendary"? In a twist that took everyone by surprise, Hall jumped on a random Lime bike, a rental scooter-bike hybrid that belonged to someone else, no less, and pedaled away as he fled a failed Mission Impossible stunt. It was a kid's ride, witnesses said. Ashton, sir… did it have to be?
Then, of course, Mo Deen wouldn't let that moment pass. He's been relishing it," roasting Hall online. And it appears that the mockery is contagious. Even Jake Paul, the king of drama, through some mockery of Ashton's way. "When Jake Paul's calling you out? You know it's gotten messy.
For those scoring at home, that's Ashton's second very public loss recently. The first? A reported $60,000 loss is unclear precisely what happened, but it doesn't sound much like Monopoly money.
Ashton then gave a press conference detailing his version of events. We haven't seen the whole thing (we probably should), but we can only imagine it's mostly deep breaths, deflections, and perhaps a few Lime bike apologies.
The internet was made for moments like this: drama abs, crudity, and unexpected plot twists collide. And for Ashton Hall, maybe next time, he'll stick to getting his miles in on a treadmill…where no lurking Mo Deens are possible.
