TikTok joker jailed for attacking Asda worker in sick prank film more stunts days after his arrest
- George O’Boyle, 30, was jailed for more than two years for causing Asda chaos
- A store worker was knocked out during his gang’s ‘prank’ in London on July 2021
- Days after his arrest, O’Boyle released videos of him terrorising other shop staff
A hell-raising ‘joker’ jailed after one of his ‘pranks’ saw a female shopworker being brutally beaten unconscious continued with his campaign of chaos while being investigated by police, MailOnline can today reveal.
Attention-seeker George O’Boyle, 30, led a rabble of delinquents and wannabe ‘influencers’ on a fancy-dress invasion of an Asda store – which turned into a violent mass brawl on July 22, 2021.
Father-of-two O’Boyle – who calls himself ‘GeeMoney’ on TikTok – was the ringleader behind the mayhem, which saw his gang live-stream their rampage through the Clapham Junction supermarket.
But the carnage turned bloody when O’Boyle’s sidekick, Josh McDonald – a 33-year-old martial arts champion dressed as Spider-Man – kicked and punched defenceless Lauren Scott unconscious, in footage that appalled viewers on social media.
While O’Boyle – dressed as comedy star Ali G in a yellow tracksuit – launched into a violent attack of his own, punching the store’s manager up to 15 times in the face as fighting spilled into the aisles.
Both so-called ‘pranksters’ were this week jailed, after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and violent disorder.
But as O’Boyle now begins his two-year stretch behind bars, MailOnline can reveal the shameless TikToker continued terrorising Asda workers while awaiting his day in court, posting more prank videos days after police arrested him and his gang.
In one video, released on August 8, 2021 – less than three weeks after the notorious Asda video – the foul-mouthed ‘muppet’ was pictured standing on a till, screeching a song as he attempted to play a pink guitar. The video was watched 3,400 times.
The 30-year-old then shouts ‘I want to be a singer, so I’m going to be a f***ing singer’ before leaping off the till and smashing his guitar on the ground, sending flower and debris all over the store, as he yells incoherently and falls over.
A second video, released on the same day to his 88,500 TikTok fans, saw the prankster frying up two burgers on a camping stove in the middle of the aisle.
The defiant father of two ignored a female Asda worker as she pleaded with him to stop. ‘I rule the roost in my kitchen, alright. Get outta my kitchen,’ goads O’Boyle.
But it’s not only Asda targeted by the ‘dimwitted’ father – he filmed stunts at a Greggs bakery and Morrisons in London, where he appears to taunt security staff as he walks out of the store, dressed as a nun, with a crate of beer hidden in his dress.
Boyle even went as far as to boast to his followers that ‘supermarkets are my playground’, as he desperately attempted to build his fame.
While in another baffling video, he is filmed gatecrashing a corner shop and even a magistrates’ court to hoover the floors as he ‘paid back to the community’.
However, people online took a dim view of his ‘gags’, branding the stunts ‘pathetic’, ’embarrassing’ and ‘just not funny’.
‘What an absolute clown doing stuff like that at your big age trying to be funny by disturbing people who are at work isn’t a good look,’ wrote one user, with another saying: ‘What a muppet.’
In a scathing critique, another TikTok user added: ‘You’ve got to be the most unfunny person ever who tries to be funny.’
While after watching a video of him hoovering a bowling alley, a third person wrote: ‘Literally [the] most unfunny thing I’ve ever seen.’
And although he has amassed a sizeable following of about 88,000 people on TikTok with his antics, his attempts to become a YouTube star have fallen embarrassingly flat, with his videos notching up just a handful of views.
Since footage of his ‘Live Madness Replays’ gang’s Asda attack went viral in 2021, parents on TikTok said they no longer allow their children to watch his content, in yet another blow to the desperate father’s hopes to be famous.
The mob, several of whom were from the same martial arts club, were seen beating male and female members of Asda staff in the aisles and stock room before turning on terrified shoppers, some of whom were knocked to the ground.
The ringleaders had posted an advert online, welcoming all-comers, and saw a nun, a spaceman, a soldier and a human fly also turn up to cause carnage when lockdown restrictions remained in place.
Three of the six suspects came to London from Northampton, the other three were from south-west and west London.
Among them was the thug McDonald, who savaged the female Asda worker as she tried to break up the chaos.
The 33-year-old father-of-two, who trained at the Black Dragon Martial Arts Academy near his home in Northampton, had boasted online that he was a contender for the ‘Iska kickboxing world championship’ in 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany.
The kickboxing teacher, who is also a black belt in mixed martial arts, appeared at Kingston Crown Court on Tuesday, where he was sentenced to six years and six months in prison.
McDonald also admitted wounding with intent in an unrelated incident in which his smashed a glass over a man’s head – in Northampton town centre in daylight – then slashed him with a shard he picked up from the ground.
What had been billed as a fun stunt became ever more violent – with multiple Asda staff beaten with metal bars, punched, kicked, and left bloodied after the mob burst into the shop’s storeroom.
When supervisor Lauren Scott remonstrated with Sophie Roberts, 19, dressed as Little Red Riding Hood as she rampaged back on to the shop floor, the teenager – also a kickboxer and who trained at the same academy as McDonald – punched her in the face.
As Miss Scott tried to defend herself, McDonald marched over in his Spider-Man costume and high-kicked and punched her unconscious, before proudly stalking off.
McDonald, of Northampton, was jailed for six years and six months, and will be monitored for a further three years and six months because he is considered a danger to the public, ‘with problematic attitudes to masculinity’.
O’Boyle, of Surbiton, south-west London, who had told online followers that ‘supermarkets are my playground’, was jailed for two years and two months for being ‘a leader of the mayhem’.
His barrister Kerry Moore told the court in mitigation that the Asda riot was ‘an inconsiderate, juvenile, idiotic stunt, the aim to jokingly throw a party in the aisles that night’ and it had got out of hand.
Sophie Roberts, 19, McDonald’s step-daughter, an unemployed mother of two from Northampton who was dressed as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, is to be sentenced next month for hitting Ms Scott in the face and threatening behaviour.
Rikki McKenzie, 36, of Northampton, who pretended to be Matt Lucas’s faux-disabled character Andy from TV show Little Britain, was given a suspended sentence for threatening behaviour.
The court heard the one-legged amateur boxer had used his wheelchair as a weapon before frustrated staff beat him with bags of ice and pulled him to the floor.
As staff struggled to force him out of the shop, he fell from his wheelchair.
Mark Pettigrew, 38, from west London, had joined the Asda mayhem dressed in uniform as ‘Army Man’, and was involved in an attack on two workers. He was not present in court, but the judge was told he admitted public disorder with violent threats.
O’Boyle’s girlfriend and mother of his two children, Katie Pickard, 31, from south London, had been dressed as a nun while Charlie Jay Sharp, 19, from Northampton, had gone to the supermarket as ‘Onesie Girl’ in a purple onesie.
‘Army man’ Mark Pettigrew, 38, from west London, was last month given a community sentence for public disorder.
O’Boyle staged the event for his tens of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram. A large number of the group were videoing the store invasion and live-streaming it straight on to the internet.
O’Boyle’s barrister, Kerry Moore, insisted at Kingston Crown court that he had simply planned ‘to have some fun for social media entertainment’.
Jailing the ring-leaders, who had arrived at Asda in a stretch limousine, Judge Mark Bryant-Heron told McDonald: ‘You completely lost control, and attacked a woman, a member of staff in her workplace, and hit her in the face and drop-kicked her to the floor as she retreated from you.’
