Prankster Mizzy told to get job by his mother

THE mother of the prankster Mizzy, who filmed himself marching into a stranger’s house in a video that went viral, has scolded her son, saying he “needs to get a job”.

Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, also known as Mizzy, was handed a criminal behaviour order after posting videos to TikTok of him storming a family home and stealing a pensioner’s dog.

His mother, Donna O’Garro, has spoken for the first time since her son attracted notoriety to say he should set aside “stupid pranks” and get a job, the Mail Online reports.

It comes as the BBC hosted the teenage TikTok prankster during a segment on Newsnight. The 18-year-old is on bail after allegedly filming people without their consent and visiting Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, which he was banned from doing. He has denied the charges.

Appearing on Newsnight in a nineminute discussion on Thursday, he insisted: “I don’t need to do pranks anymore. I’m established enough as a prankster.”

He went on to detail his communication with Andrew Tate, a controversial influencer who is being sued over allegations

‘I don’t need to do pranks anymore... I respect women fully. I was raised by a single mum’

of sexual and physical assault. Asked why Mr Tate appealed to him, O’Garro replied: “His confidence and his stride and the way he carries himself. I respect women fully. I was raised by a single mum.”

O’Garro, from Hackney, east London, was placed under a criminal behaviour order and fined over the video that brought him national notoriety, and next month faces trial over accusations that he posted two further videos online without the consent of those featured and visited Westfield shopping centre in Stratford in breach of the order.

On Wednesday, O’Garro said on Twitter that he had apologised to the family and admitted he had “made a very dumb stupid mistake” by entering their home.
