- The since-removed video showed Pesch pouring liquid on his jacket, setting it on fire, and jumping from a bridge into the water.
- The post displayed a hate message urging him to set himself on fire or jump from a bridge, and his caption appeared to allude to his ex without naming her.
- Pesch later warned followers not to copy the stunt, saying the flames burned through three layers of clothing and left him with small burns.
- Brinkmann stated on Instagram that she never sent such a message and rejected being blamed for his actions.
