An Australian comedian at the center of a spate of controversy is back in the spotlight after sharing a series of bizarre videos that have fans worried.
Alex “Shooter” Williamson was once one of the country’s most popular young comedians, garnering a huge following on social media for his uncompromising humour.
But some of the 34-year-old’s most recent videos on TikTok have become nothing more than extended rants about the difficulties of his relationship with ex-girlfriend and OnlyFans star Alex Moore.

In one of the now-deleted videos, Williamson complains about having to look for a new apartment because his flatmate, who covered the mortgage, had endured enough of the constant drama and decided to move out.
In another recent video, Williamson introduces a song he’s about to release by lying down on the wine-bottle-strewn kitchen bench and squirming while pretending to play the guitar.
He said the song was written “a few years ago about a previous succubus,” but later posted that it was also thematically relevant as it was about the war in Ukraine.
Viewers said they didn’t know what to do with the videos and complained that Williamson was wasting his talent.
“I was a huge fan of Alex’s, I even went to one of his shows… which happened,” said one.
“The boys lost track. Really sad,” said another.
“That’s ridiculously sad.” I fondly remember the loosest Aussie guy videos. “A shell of your former self,” said a third.
“Wtf did he really post those videos thinking it would help him?” another fan added.

Fans commenting on the videos wondered what happened to the comedian, who was famously banned from two major comedy festivals and booted from Instagram in 2021 before regaining new followers
In 2020, Williamson had a string of messy stand-up performances and got into an argument at a Goulburn show with a viewer who was harassing him.
At a show in Adelaide later that year, he appeared to attack and assault another viewer, who then threw glasses onto the stage.
In early 2021, at a stand-up show in Rockhampton, Queensland, he was punched in the face by a spectator after throwing a beer over the man’s head when he wouldn’t stop heckling.
In 2021 his problems grew, Williamson was banned from a number of comedy shows and his management after allegations were leveled against him by his ex-girlfriend, singer Peach PRC.
Peach uploaded a written statement accusing Williamson of being “manipulative, predatory and derogatory” throughout their relationship.
Over the course of about 24 hours, Williamson then lashed out at numerous lengths and accused two of his exes of “lying” about being “obsessed with him.”
He previously told Chron Australia that he regrets the way he handled the allegations – which he strenuously denies.
“Again they both threw themselves on me. I’m confused where the predatory thing is coming from. What is the accusation anyway?’ he said in a reply.
“If it’s the predator, it’s wrong.” Also, I was 29 at the time. What’s the problem with looking for a 19-year-old?
More Talent then ended the collaboration with him.
“We do not condone the alleged conduct, nor the tone or content of his responses,” said agency director Andrew Taylor in an internal email shared with Pedestrian.TV in 2021.
He was also banned from the shows of the two major comedy festivals.
“In light of recent events, the Sydney/Perth Comedy Festival has withdrawn Alex Williamson’s show,” organizers said in a joint statement.

Before the Peach controversy, Williamson split from Instagram influencer Gabby Goessling, 22.
After the breakup, Williamson revealed that Goessling had broken up with him and admitted that he wasn’t “the best” friend she had throughout their relationship.
Goessling told her Instagram followers that she suffered emotional and financial abuse throughout their relationship, explaining that Williamson “owes me about $15,000 … but the money is nothing compared to the trauma.”
Williamson admitted on social media that he once took her credit card in her sleep and embarked on a gambling frenzy.
“We’ve made peace since then,” he said. “Yesterday’s reaction was out of frustration at this [Peach’s] Try… while I’m in the midst of a mental health crisis myself.’
“I am truly sorry for taking the situation lightly for the sexual and physical assault survivors out there,” he wrote.
