TikTok menace Mizzy says he has gone back to college to ‘change my life around’ after being released from prison.
The 19-year-old Londoner became notorious for vile ‘pranks’ such as walking into strangers’ houses, stealing an elderly woman’s dog, ripping up library books and asking random passers-by ‘do you want to die’.
Last year he was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison for breaking a court order that blocked him from filming people without their consent, with a judge telling him his social media stunts were ‘not funny’.
The father of one claims he wants to ‘do better for my child and the people around me’ and yesterday shared a photo in a hard hat after signing up to a course teaching construction skills.
However, the TikTok terror – whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro – did not apologise to any of the people he tormented and said he would be ‘returning to social media’.

O’Garro wrote on X: ‘The day I came out of jail I told myself I am never going back and that imma do whatever it takes to change my life around so I can do better for my child and the people around me. [sic]
‘So I went back to college, started looking for loads of jobs and signed up to a CSCS course.’
He added: ‘Now I’m trying to progress further in different aspects of my life and change any negative perceptions on me and of course I won’t be able to change everyone’s mind due to how I’ve portrayed myself in the past on social media, but I hopefully resonate with the people who understand.
‘Yes, I will be returning to socials and posting videos eventually but only in a way that will prevent me from being in risk of harm and anyone else.
‘So make sure your following up because the return of Mizzy could be sooner than you think*’ [sic]
One person, called Heung-min-Jon praised the teenager for his apparent change of character.
He said: ‘I’ll never condone what you did but respect your efforts to be better, based on this I will offer you free training at my Health and Safety company to get you into your chosen career path, get in touch if interested.’
‘Good on you brother,’ another person added.
But others were not convinced but his apparent rehabilitation.
O’Garro previously shared a clip of himself cycling inside a Sainsbury’s supermarket
On May 26, another ‘riding bikes in places’ video was posted to his Twitter account that shows him cycling through the Jobcentre
One wrote: ‘Are you going to apologise to the people that you terrorised?’
A second fumed: ‘You’ll never learn.’
Last year O’Garro was ordered by Thames Magistrates’ Court ‘not to upload directly or indirectly, any original video content on social media, without prior documented consent of the people in that content’.
But a court has ruled that he ‘deliberately and intentionally’ flouted the order hours after it had been imposed – and in November a judge sentenced him to 18 weeks at a young offenders’ institution due to the age at which he committed the offence.
The content creator, who has reportedly been banned from TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, shared a photo of him leaving HMP Thameside on X.
The teenager’s trial heard how he began sharing videos of people without their consent on the same day the criminal behaviour order was passed on May 24 this year.
Other videos shared on O’Garro’s Snapchat account, which were also in breach, showed him grabbing hold of a schoolboy by his uniform and another showed him fighting a man with dwarfism, which O’Garro claimed were hoax videos made with their prior agreement.
O’Garro’s claim that one of his friends, who had access to his login details, posted the Twitter videos without his consent, was dismissed by Judge Matthew Bone as ‘inconceivable’.
