Who is Avani Reyes? New 'Gorilla Glue' girl slammed for getting into same mess as Tessica Brown: 'Did it for clout'
First, it was Tessica Brown who went viral as the 'Gorilla Glue Girl' after she sprayed on to her hair and then couldn't wash it off. Now, a 20-year-old TikToker, Avani Reyes, seems to have managed to get herself into the same mess after she claimed to have "accidentally" sprayed the glue on her hair and couldn't remove it. This development comes just days after Brown had to travel to Los Angeles for her treatment.
Although there are several videos of Reyes on TikTok trying to explain her predicament, she was slammed in the comments for trying to get some 'clout', and 'make money.' Reyes in one of the videos attempts to comb her pink hair which is covered by a thick layer of glue. 'You guys, my hair will not comb," she said while patting her head. "Y'all, I already tried wetting it." At the time of writing, the clip had seen over 15.5k views and 1340 comments.

In another video, she was trembling and on the verge of breaking down, saying she was having a 'panic attack'. Reyes also said she set up a GoFundMe page, but never actually shared a link of her GoFundMe page, according to The Daily Mail. However, she claimed that she raised enough money to travel to LA to get surgery like Brown. In a recent clip, she reportedly said one person generously donated $3,000 to help her.

In related news, Brown had donated much of her money to 'The Restore Foundation', a non-profit organization that supports people who go through similar issues or require expensive surgery which they can't afford. Brown's manager told the site that the donations that poured in were well over $21,000 and she decided to use most of the money by putting into the Restore Foundation that provides reconstructive surgeries for people.
The non-profit organization is headed by a Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon, Dr Michael Obeng, who is known for his successful work. He also successfully performed the miracle hair restoration for Brown. As far as the reason behind Brown's deed, she said it was for those who couldn't afford treatment after being in similar situations.
