THIS is the excruciating moment YouTuber Yung Filly leans in to kiss a woman and hits back in anger when she rejects him.
The internet star is facing charges of rape in Australia – as cops probe allegations that he assaulted a woman in his hotel in September.
A resurfaced clip shows him in a Footasylum video, on a date with an unidentified woman.
Filly, 28, leans across the table to towards her, saying “Great f*****g teeth, goodness me, leave it with a little kiss as well.”
She dodges his advance, pulling away, to which he retorts: “So now what you just feel sour now that I’m letting you go?”
The woman replies: “I’m not kissing in a chicken shop.”
Filly then scrambles to recover from the awkward encounter, angrily saying: “Did you think I was gonna kiss you on the lips?!”
“Next one, next one,” he shouts to his off-camera friends, calling for his next date.
Filly, whose real name is Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was arrested in Melbourne last month on charges of rape and sexual assault.
He was transferred to Perth where he was taken into custody and remains in Australia as the investigations continues.
The rapper stumped up $100,000 AUD (£51,000) for bail, has to check in with police regularly and is banned from leaving the state in the meantime.
On Tuesday he appeared at the WA station only 20 minutes before his mandatory deadline, The Western Australian reports.
Filly had been performing at a nightclub before allegedly assaulting the woman, in her 20s.
He faces four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault and one count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.
Police investigating him say they have an “extremely strong” case that includes CCTV footage of the social media star on the night of the alleged offences.
Filly’s former collaborator Danny Aarons has spoken out about the ongoing case.
He told fans “I’m as shocked as you” in a video posted to social media.
On Sunday his longtime pal Chunkz, real name Amin Mohamed, also addressed the probe, sharing a clip to Instagram that said: “Like everyone I’ve heard the reports coming out of Australia.
“While I understand many of you want my reaction on it, as this is an ongoing court case I hope you guys understand that I can’t and won’t be commenting on it publicly, so yeah I’ve just come on here to basically let you know the reasons as to why I can’t. Love.”
And fellow creator AngryGinge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, said: “I’m not going to pretend nothing has happened. I’m going to be open and honest as I always am. Where do you start?
“Four o’clock in the morning I’m laying in bed, I see what’s going down on Twitter. First of all I’m the exact same as you. I’m shocked. Um, yeah. You know, mental. Mental.
“But he’s now obviously involved in legal proceedings and I can’t comment on legal proceedings. You know how it is. Mad.”
And influencer LV General has also broken his silence on the shocking news.
He wrote on Instagram: “Everyone please stop messaging me about what’s happened to Young Filly.
“He’s a grown man and he has to take responsibility for his own actions.
“I’ll be praying for man because Australian prison ain’t a joke – bare snakes and spiders and s***.
“I just hope this don’t backfire on his family.”
YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.
The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.
Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.
He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.
Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.
When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.
“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.
“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.
“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”
Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.
He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.
Over the years, Filly has also taken part in The Sidemen‘s Charity Football Match, organised by members Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSI, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
BAYERN MUNICH reportedly made a desperate attempt to convince Thomas Tuchel to stay in Bavaria last season.
Tuchel was today announced as the new England manager but things could have been very different had Bayern got their way in the summer.
Tuchel was sacked by Bayern last term after steering the club to their first trophyless campaign in 12 years.
But after informing Tuchel that he would need to clear his desk at the end of the season, the German superclub were left scrambling to find the right replacement.
Tuchel had come to a “mutual agreement” with the club in February – three months before the end of the season – to leave in the summer.
But those three months didn’t quite go as expected for the execs at Bayern, who were being rejected left, right and centre by potential replacements.
While Tuchel seemed to turn things around on the pitch, pushing the Bavarians into a Champions League semi-final – which they narrowly lost 4-3 to eventual winners Real Madrid.
Reports from multiple outlets, including Bild and Sky Sports, were claiming that the lack of a suitable replacement and a turnaround in form left execs at Bayern scrambling to effectively UNSACK Tuchel.
It was said that sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund began negotiations with Tuchel to try and reverse their joint decision.
ESPN claimed at the time that Tuchel would have needed convincing that he wasn’t going to be used as a stop-gap for a future replacement and was keen to sign an extension on his deal to return to the dugout.

THOMAS TUCHEL possesses all the ingredients to become a classic England manager.
Tactical nous, drive, energy, experience – a tangled love life.
English football should welcome back the most explosive, dynamic, charismatic and impossibly tall and gangly coach to have lit up the Premier League.
Chelsea’s colourful former boss has been leading a settled life in Munich of late.
Far enough away from ex-wife Sissi but close enough to see his two daughters.
Walking his dog in the streets in the east of Germany’s most fashionable city, residing in the posh Bogenhausen area. Living relatively quietly with his Brazilian girlfriend.
Tuchel is a vastly different personality to the man who led England quietly but assuredly to the brink of World Cups and European Championships.
An excitable nature can make him hard to handle for those seeking calm and who like to impose their way on a manager they view very much as an underling.
Read more on why Tuchel REALLY IS the best man for the England job
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Those demands clearly couldn’t be agreed and ultimately Tuchel wasn’t convinced to remain at the Allianz.
It wasn’t just staff who were pining for Tuchel to stay put though, groups of fans even signed petitions to try and keep their man in pace.
Ultimately, the 51-year-old walked and it was relegated Burnley boss Vincent Kompany who was snapped up by the Bundesliga side to become the new manager.
Among the names who reportedly turned their nose up at taking the Bayern job was Ralf Rangnick, Julian Nagelsmann, Unai Emery, Oliver Glasner and Julen Lopetegui.
Reports also emerged that Bayern Munich players were pushing for Tuchel to stay on at the club, with Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer both speaking in his favour.
While England captain Harry Kane was also said to be one of the stars who would have welcomed him staying, alongside Eric Dier.
Now Kane will get to play under Tuchel with three lions on his chest instead, labelling the manager as a “fantastic coach and fantastic person” earlier in the week.
Kane actually had his best ever goalscoring season under Tuchel, netting an astonishing 44 times in 45 games last term and winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot.
In fact, Kane boasts his best ever minutes-per-goal ratio under Tuchel compared to any of his other managers – netting once every 89 minutes under his former boss.
The sliding doors moment appears to have worked in England’s favour with Tuchel now primed and ready to lead the nation into the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking in his announcement press conference, he brushed off the pressure from the fans.
He said: “This is always the last thing I think about because I’m up for the pressure on the sporting side.
“I’m up for the big challenge, I’m up for the task. I’m up for these 18 months to work with the group and be part of this amazing federation. These are all the reasons to jump in.
“The pressure that could arise if things don’t go so well is never part of the decision making and I don’t feel it so much.
“It’s always a privilege and my love and passion for the game is always more than the downside of it.”
THE FA’s path to securing Thomas Tuchel's signature was not a straightforward one.
They tried to lure Pep Guardiola from Manchester City over the summer.
They even made contact with Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti after deciding to target trophy-laden foreign gaffers.
The FA’s determination to go international was summed up by their decision NOT to interview Newcastle boss Eddie Howe.
Initial talks with Tuchel saw him express a slight interest in replacing Gareth Southgate.
But he was waiting to see what would happen at Manchester United, with Erik ten Hag’s future under the spotlight.
Man Utd owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe eventually decided to stick with Ten Hag – and that opened the door to the FA getting their man.

THE stars of the Indianapolis Colts are cooking on and off the field.
Colts stars Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor were seen in the kitchen at Dairy Queen in a new career venture.
Richardson and Taylor are two of the top young talents in the NFL, and are an explosive offensive duo for the Colts.
However, after a big win on Sunday, they traded out their jerseys for aprons and got behind the counter at Dairy Queen.
The two stars were seen tossing chicken strips in sauce and handing them out to fans who were gathered around taking pictures.
Richardson and Taylor enjoyed surprising fans, saying they love to connect with them in person.
“I think it’s big on just connecting. You know, outside of them just seeing us in the jersey,” Richardson told WISH-TV.
“I think it’s good for them to see us in person and interact with us, you know, laugh and just crack jokes sometimes.
“So just connecting I think that’s a big thing for us.”
Taylor said he considers Indianapolis his home now, and wants to give back to the community by making appearances like the Dairy Queen day.
“Any place I like to call home, I’m huge on that, of giving back, being in the community as far as my home in Salem, New Jersey, then going to Wisconsin, and then now here being in Indy. I like to call this my third home,” Taylor said.
“So anytime I get to to get out and interact and be amongst the community it’s special for me.”
Taylor and Richardson have both missed some time this season, but are continuing to produce for the team.
Richardson has played in four of the Colts’ six games, passing for 654 yards and three touchdowns.
He is also using his legs effectively, rushing for 141 yards and a touchdown.
Richardson’s one issue has been turnovers, as he already has six interceptions and three fumbles this season.
Taylor has also played in four of the Colts’ six games this year, rushing for 349 yards.
The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings kick off the NFL's annual run of London fixtures.
New York and Minnesota face off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday October 6 at 2.30pm local time – 9.30am ET for fans back home in America.
It is the first of three straight NFL Sundays that begin with an early game live from London.
The following week, Tottenham also plays host to the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Chicago Bears.
And on October 20, the Jags will head across town to Wembley Stadium to take on the New England Patriots.
He has scored three touchdowns on the ground so far this season, and has an additional 77 yards receiving.
With Richardson and Taylor down, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has helped the team stay afloat.
His 716 passing yards and seven touchdowns have the Colts at a 3-3 record.
The team is in second place in the AFC South, and in prime position to push for a playoff spot.
Both Taylor and Richardson are expected to return to the lineup soon.
A YOUNG dancer has been mysteriously killed just feet from her home while taking her dog on an early morning walk, and cops are still looking for answers.
Brittannee Parker, 32, was fatally hit by a car on October 4th – but her now-heartbroken family didn’t hear about it until six days later.
Parker’s crumpled body was discovered by a neighbor who saw her lying face down in the middle of the road in Tacoma, Washington, about an hour south of Seattle.
She wasn’t moving or breathing but was warm to the touch and had a weak pulse.
The Good Samaritan, Breelle Buegler, blocked off Parker’s body with her car and called 911 to race her to the hospital.
“I haven’t stopped thinking about it,” the brave woman told NBC affiliate KING.
Tacoma police initially deemed Parker’s death a hit-and-run, but they could launch a homicide investigation based on Parker’s death report, a spokesperson said.
It took six days for friends and family to hear of Parker’s death, leaving them heartbroken, outraged, and desperate for answers.
“I was shocked,” Parker’s best friend Ann “Sadi” Kinyanjui told The News Tribune.
“I was livid how someone could just leave a person that they hurt on the street, just lifeless.
“And I was sad because she was taken from us way too soon.”
Worry spread for Parker’s well-being after she failed to show up for work or call people back, which friends say was unlike her.
Parker’s cousin, Luke Mann, said he was anxious after not hearing from her as she was going through some tough times.
He was going to drive to her workplace to check on her when his aunt called him to give the tragic news.
Parker was a talented dancer who was planning on going to graduate school for dance therapy. She was also training for a marathon when she was killed.
“She was a kind and beautiful soul, and her loss has left a devastating void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved her,” Mann said on Facebook.
Mann connected with his cousin in their early 20s after meeting at their great-grandfather’s funeral.
He said they bonded over having difficult childhoods, and soon they became inseparable.
Buegler, who connected with Mann after making the tragic discovery, has been left wondering who could leave an innocent young woman to die.
“She’s a human being,” she said.
“She deserves sympathy. She deserves love.”
Parker’s memorial will be held on Wednesday evening, and all of her friends were invited to attend and say their goodbyes.
Family members are asking people to share Parker’s story and help them find answers.
“Please keep her memory alive by sharing this post and helping us seek the truth,” Mann wrote on Facebook.
“Brittannee touched so many lives with her warmth, creativity, and love, and we will not rest until we have the answers she deserves.”
A former PR for the Queen said Prince Harry was a “darling” – but palace crises now make her “thank God” she doesn’t work there any more.
Ailsa Anderson was the late Queen’s press secretary from 2001 to 2013.
She handled two Jubilees, the Queen Mother’s death, William and Kate’s wedding and the birth of Prince George.
Anderson also managed press coverage of the Queen’s historic State visit to Ireland and State Visits by US Presidents Bush and Obama.
The palace insider said Harry was a “darling” who was “absolutely loved” while she worked at Buckingham Palace.
Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Anderson said: “I started in the palace in 2001 and finished at the end of 2013.
“Harry was the media’s darling. He was the war hero, he’d served in Afghanistan, he was a cheeky chappie.
“If you speak to royal correspondents who have been in the job a long time, they all absolutely loved Harry.
“Compared to William, in fact. William was seen as more serious and shy but Harry was the life and soul of the party.
“He couldn’t do a thing wrong. And certainly when I spoke to him, he was funny and intelligent.
“He was passionate about the military – the Invictus Games is clearly testament to that.
“I’ve got a photograph in my hall of Harry and I with our arms around each other outside a ladies’ loo – don’t read anything into this.
“It was hilarious. He was very happy to pose with a member of staff for a photograph.
“I can only speak from experience, but that was what he was like – the media’s darling.”
But asked what she thinks about recent palace crises, Ailsa said: “Thank God I’m not there.”
She added: “I do think they’re doing a brilliant job. I know quite a lot of the press officers there.
“It’s a tough job, it’s relentless, it’s 24/7. Even when you’re on holiday, you’re still getting media calls.
“I think they’re doing a terrific job, I really do – so hats off to the Royal Household.”
It comes after Harry spent the night of his milestone 40th birthday without Meghan.
The duke went on a hiking trip with pals to celebrate his big day – and did not mention his wife Meghan in his birthday thanks message.
But sources close to the couple insist it was Meghan who organised the lads’ trip.
Meghan reportedly ditched a charity event at the last minute in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband because she was “sick”.
It comes as Harry beamed from ear to ear in photos taken on his latest trip to his beloved Africa.
But missing from the snaps of the duke with children and long-time friends at his charity Sentebale in Lesotho was his wife.
The Duchess of Sussex previously accompanied him to the continent, including in May this year.
In fact the couple have travelled together on two major overseas engagements this year.
But this prompted a source close to Harry and Meghan to address the speculation.
The Sussexes’ confidante insisted: “It is normal for couples to not do everything together.”
The duke attended at a string of events in New York unaccompanied by his wife.
He appeared on his own at an event for the Halo Trust – a landmine charity which was close to Di’s heart.
