Christopher John, known for his shirtless “pick-up” content and provocative street interviews, faced a public confrontation in San Diego while using Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses to film unsuspecting women. These smart glasses currently sell for $379. They allow riders to capture and livestream video, take phone calls, listen to music and send text messages. As a social media influencer with more than 900,000 followers on his “rizzzcam” social media platform, John frequently harasses women in public spaces to talk to him about dating.
While this was happening, a good Samaritan let John know that he had a camera attached to his glasses. This warning came as John asked a woman if she had a boyfriend before asking questions about the dating market. Things got worse when the bystander began to approach him. “You all are stalking those females over here, aren’t you?” he asked angrily.
As the standoff continued, a different passer-by told John to get out of the way. “Move aside, dude!” they yelled, demonstrating their increasing frustration with his style. Public safety advocates noted that this was not an uncommon occurrence. John has come under fire in the past for his predatory street interviews and overall unfortunate disposition towards women.
You are not alone one viewer responded to the host’s decision, “He was correct in calling you out. One commenter wrote, “Wow are people actually starting to understand that secretly filming women with hidden camera sunglasses is creepy? Such sentiments are part of a larger public concern over privacy and consent in the digital age.
Even with the pushback, John doubled down on what his content was really about. As he put it, “Sometimes people will just egg you on on stream, and the best thing you can do is just not engage and to not give them anything to work with. His defense seems to assume an approach of cool-headedness under fire.
