On Sept. 28, 2021, the first video was posted to the @notbrianlaundrie TikTok account. In that video, the unnamed Brian look-alike duetted another TikTok that claimed a "sighting" of the wanted individual at what appears to be a crowded bar.
@notbrianlaundrie then said, "I would just like to put these rumors to bed," and showcased his face in an attempt to prove that he isn't Brian, but rather just looks like him somewhat.
Of course, many users took this as an opportunity to still insinuate that the TikToker was in fact Brian attempting to ruse millions of viewers on the platform into thinking it isn't him.
"Where would you go if you wanted to hide from the world for a few weeks, months, years, Mr. Not Brian?" questioned one skeptical user, to which @notbrianlaundrie replied, "I would go to your mom's house."
