Who is John Clark aka Meal Prep King? TikTok star and author loses publishing deal after misogynistic rant goes viral 

Penguin Random House will no longer be publishing books by TikToker John Clark, best known as The Meal Prep King. This comes after the author posted a misogynistic rant on social media. Due to this, netizens have been slamming the content creator on social media by calling him “vile” and “disgusting.”

The TikTok star, who has over 1.6 million followers on the platform, took to Instagram live on Monday night to put himself in hot waters. In the live streaming video, it appeared that John Clark was in his Bolton, Greater Manchester residence. The 42-year-old started off his video by saying that he refuses to have respect for women and that they should “shut the f**k up” about their rights.

He also exclaimed in the video:

“Have some respect for females? Nope. You’re all f**king scruffy c**ts.”

The lifestyle influencer added,

“I do kind of like pissing women off.”

He insisted that he was “no against women” but claimed that he disagreed with “f**king women thinking they have some sort of hierarchy.” John Clark put on a high-pitched voice to imitate a woman. He said,

“I’m a woman. I’m a female. I have rights.”

The social media personality also shared with his 420,000 Instagram followers that he “got whacked.” The author revealed this after netizens observed a gruesome facial injury.
