YouTuber Landon Nickerson’s Cheating Scandal Leaves Social Media Stunned
Every now and then, a celebrity breakup rattles the entire internet. This week, it’s Landon Nickerson, the popular YouTuber, at the center of a storm after his pregnant fiancée, The Wizard Liz (real name Liz Wizard), publicly accused him of cheating. Fans, followers, and even casual observers have been glued to their screens, watching the drama unfold in real-time and sparking heated debates across social media about trust and betrayal.
The spark that set everything ablaze came from Liz herself. On May 27, 2025, she took to Instagram, visibly emotional but determined to set the record straight. In her story, she revealed their engagement was over. What stung even more was her claim: Nickerson had been carrying out secret conversations with another woman while Liz was four months pregnant. According to Liz, Nickerson used a hidden Snapchat account for his private messages—an account she discovered only after another woman reached out to one of her friends with proof. Among the evidence? A screenshot where Nickerson allegedly called Liz a 'fake.' Not exactly what you want to see from someone you thought was your partner for life.
If you think that’s wild, just days before all this blew up, Nickerson had been swooning over Liz in London. He wrote her a book about their relationship, poured on the love, and promised his commitment as they walked through the city together. Then the whole secret-double-life business came crashing down, leaving fans reeling from the emotional whiplash.
The Aftermath: Apologies, Deleted Videos, and Online Outcry
Nickerson tried to control the fallout by filming an Instagram video, where he admitted his 'huge mistake.' He said he was sorry, begged fans not to go after Liz or his family, and looked visibly shaken. That video didn't last long, though. Soon after posting it, Nickerson hit delete—maybe realizing the internet rarely forgives and never forgets.
Liz didn’t just stop at exposing the cheating, though. She accused Nickerson of psychological manipulation: heavy 'love bombing,' putting pressure on her to give up her apartment during a tricky visa process, and spending lavishly on gifts she never asked for, only to betray her trust. For many viewers, it wasn’t just about the act itself but the pattern of emotional pressure behind the scenes.
The split lit a spark among their followers, birthing long threads and viral hashtags dissecting every detail. People have started wider conversations about emotionally abusive patterns, the pressure women face in public relationships, and why red flags so often get ignored when romance is in the spotlight. Some viewers described Liz’s situation as a 'horror story,' feeling sympathy for anyone caught in a similar mess—especially while pregnant.
It’s not just about one influencer couple falling apart. This episode has prompted a ton of folks to question the kind of relationships they look up to online, and to think twice about what’s really going on behind those glossy photos and curated stories. Nickerson’s tumble from adored boyfriend to public villain has left a lot of people talking—and watching for whatever twist might come next.
