健身网红Goob「被捕」视频疯传：萨福克县警方称系为慈善食物发放摆拍
健身网红John Dorsey（网名Goob）戴着手铐被带上警车的视频11月2日起在社交平台疯传，不少转发称他已被纽约州萨福克县警方逮捕。据TMZ与DispatchTimes报道，萨福克县警察局发言人表示，这场「被捕」并非真实执法，而是为本月晚些时候一场慈善食物发放活动宣传拍摄的短剧。
视频由健身网红Joey Swoll与账号Former Fat Guy Fitness于11月2日发布：Dorsey戴着手铐、由一名「警员」押送上车。Swoll在帖中显得震惊，称自己还没掌握全部事实，并对Dorsey说「你得做得更好，伙计」。视频扩散后，Dorsey在Instagram发声明称「目前无法说明你们看到的那段视频，请给我一些隐私和宽容、让我妥善处理」，并限制了账号评论区；据DispatchTimes报道，他还分享了一封看似律师函的文件，并坚称「这不是短剧」。
粉丝的怀疑其实早于警方表态。据PrimeTimer此前报道，公开渠道查不到Dorsey的任何法院或逮捕记录，也没有保释条件或出庭信息；多名粉丝指出，他每年感恩节与圣诞季都会拍短剧为慈善食物发放活动造势，还有长岛居民指出视频里的车辆不像萨福克县警察局的正式警车，当地媒体Newsday也没有任何关于这名网红被捕的报道。
萨福克县警察局发言人的表态与这些观察相互印证：据TMZ与DispatchTimes报道，警方称拍摄是为本月晚些时候的慈善食物发放活动所做的社交平台宣传，Dorsey以往也曾以精心设计的节日短剧推广同类慈善活动。这段「被捕」视频由此从一桩悬而未决的网红风波，变成了警方亲自拆穿的摆拍宣传。
Fitness Influencer Goob's Viral 'Arrest' Video Was Staged, Suffolk County Police Say
A video showing fitness influencer John Dorsey, known online as Goob, in handcuffs being escorted into a police vehicle went viral on social media from November 2, with many reposts claiming he had been arrested by police in Suffolk County, New York. According to TMZ and DispatchTimes, a Suffolk County Police Department spokesperson said the "arrest" was not real: it was filmed as part of social media posts promoting a charity food giveaway taking place later this month.
The video was posted on November 2 by fellow fitness influencer Joey Swoll and the page Former Fat Guy Fitness, showing Dorsey handcuffed and led to a vehicle by an "officer." Swoll appeared shocked in his post, said he did not yet have all the facts, and told Dorsey, "You need to do better, buddy." As the clip spread, Dorsey posted a statement on Instagram saying, "I am currently unable to give details about the video you've been seeing circulating. Please allow me some privacy and grace to address this properly," and restricted comments on his account. According to DispatchTimes, he also shared what appeared to be a letter from an attorney and insisted, "It's not a skit."
Fans had voiced doubts before police weighed in. PrimeTimer reported earlier that no court or public records could be found for any arrest, charges, bail conditions or court appearance involving Dorsey. Fans pointed out that he stages skits every year around Thanksgiving and Christmas to promote charity food giveaways, and Long Island residents noted that the vehicle in the clip did not look like an official Suffolk County police car and that Newsday had carried nothing about such an arrest.
The police spokesperson's account matches those observations. According to TMZ and DispatchTimes, police said the filming was social media promotion for a charity food giveaway later this month, and Dorsey is known for staging elaborate holiday skits to promote such charity events in previous years. The viral "arrest" thus turned out to be a staged promotional stunt, debunked by the police department itself.
