Who Is 'JudyHoppsL0vr69' And Is His Death A Hoax? The Viral 'Zootopia' TikToker's Cryptic 'Disney' Videos Explained

TikToker Nik Salah, better known on the platform as JudyHoppsL0vr69, is freaking all his fans out after his sister seemingly announced his death last week, only for him to appear back in full health a week later. Now, Nik claims he was kidnapped by Disney and seems to be suggesting that he's still in danger with a recent, cryptic string of creepy uploads. Here's what you need to know.

Who Is 'JudyHoppsL0vr69?'

JudyHoppsL0vr69 is the username of TikToker and suspected satire comedian Nik Salah. Since 2021, Salah has been making comedic videos dedicated to his love of Judy Hopps, an anthropomorphic rabbit and one of the protagonists of the 2016 Disney animated film Zootopia.

Nik is incredibly dedicated to making content about Hopps and he's gained a large following for it, boasting over 1.3 million followers on TikTok as of 2024. While it's highly suspected and likely that he's a comedian and the account is a bit, some other TikTokers have claimed he's real about his obsession, although these users are also purportedly playing into the joke.

Did 'JudyHoppsL0vr69' Fake His Death?

In mid-June 2024, a weird set of videos were uploaded to the @judyhoppsl0vr69 TikTok account. In the videos, uploaded by someone who claims to be Nik Salah's sister, claims that he suddenly died. All of Salah's viewers started to mourn his death in the comments. Then, a day later, a cryptic video consisting of only the letter "H" over a black screen was uploaded, further confusing viewers.

Then, around a day later, Salah himself posted a video on his account, revealing that his death was a hoax. However, in the video, he claims that, although his memory is hazy, he believes someone at Disney kidnapped him and faked his death. He claims he has no proof, but is looking for some and wants to sue.

Did Disney Actually Kidnap 'JudyHoppsL0vr69?'

Since the death hoax, JudyHoppsL0vr69's videos have only gotten more cryptic. Over the past week, he's uploaded three more videos consisting of the letters "E," "L," and "P" over blank screens, collectively spelling "HELP." He's also posted other videos that seem to suggest he needs help, including a Crumbl Cookies review where he shows a phone number on the inside of the box.

On top of all that, some commenters claim Nik has been more "robotic" since the purported incident. In one of his most recent videos, he shows a word search that he created and asks viewers to find the hidden words. Commenters claim that, when all the words are found, they make the sentence, "TAKEN HOSTAGE, CAN'T ESCAPE THAT AREA FIFTY ONE PLACE. DON'T FUSS, MONSTERS CANT REPLACE ME."
