Once known for outrageous—and often disturbing—pranks that earned him both viral fame and jail time, Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, better known as Mizzy, says he’s trying to leave the chaos behind.
The 20-year-old Londoner has welcomed a second child into the world and insists that fatherhood has shifted his priorities.
But for someone with a long history of breaking the rules, many are asking: can Mizzy really turn his life around?
Infamous for All the Wrong Reasons
Mizzy gained notoriety in 2023 for posting TikTok videos that sparked public outrage.
These weren’t harmless stunts. He filmed himself walking uninvited into strangers’ homes, stealing an elderly woman’s dog, tearing up library books, and even confronting random people with the chilling question, “Do you want to die?”
Eventually, the law caught up with him. Mizzy was handed an 18-week jail sentence for violating a court order that banned him from filming people without consent.
The judge made it clear: “Your pranks are not funny.”
Now a Father of Two, Mizzy Says He’s Ready to Grow Up
Speaking recently with The Star, Mizzy revealed that he’s had a change of heart.
With two young children to think about—his newborn just a month old, and his first child now two—he says he’s focused on “growth, responsibility, and having a purpose.”
“If I had kept going the way I was, I probably would’ve ended up in jail for a long time,” he admitted.
“But having these two young ones, I’m going to prove to myself and others I can do things the right way.”
Regrets? Not Exactly
While Mizzy now talks about wanting to change, he still stops short of apologizing for the chaos he caused.
He claims he doesn’t regret his past, saying regret would mean denying his life story.
He blames his old behavior on being impulsive and obsessed with going viral.
He thought internet fame would bring success—but admits he didn’t think much about the fallout.
Back to College, Back to Socials?
In April, Mizzy announced he’d gone back to college to “change his life around.”
He even started looking for jobs and enrolled in a construction safety course.
But despite all the talk of reform, he also declared his return to social media was on the horizon—just with a more “positive” approach.
“Yes, I will be returning to socials,” he wrote, “but only in a way that will prevent me or anyone else from being harmed.”
That raised eyebrows for many, given his history.
More Court Drama and a Dodged Prosecution
Just weeks after leaving jail, Mizzy was back in the headlines.
He was taken to court again—this time for allegedly violating the terms of his electronic monitoring tag.
He denied the breach, claiming he was asleep when police tried to fit the device.
Though the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case, Mizzy wasted no time in mocking the situation, sharing a video of his arrest with the caption: “The Matrix sent their agents.”
Still Breaking Rules Just Hours After His Court Order
Incredibly, within hours of a criminal behavior order being imposed on him in May 2023, Mizzy was back online breaking it.
He posted a video from Westfield Stratford—a location he was banned from—and even admitted on camera, “I’m banned from this place… UK law is a joke.”
More troubling footage followed, including videos of him grabbing a schoolboy by his uniform and pretending to fight a man with dwarfism.
Mizzy claimed these were hoax clips filmed with consent—but the judge didn’t buy it.
A Judge’s Final Word: “You Caused Harm and Distress”
At his trial, Judge Matthew Bone slammed Mizzy’s behavior, saying it was driven by a craving for fame, money, and designer clothes.
He found Mizzy guilty of intentionally breaking the court order on two occasions and sentenced him to 18 weeks in a young offenders’ institution.
The judge also issued a tougher criminal behavior order, banning Mizzy from posting any video content for the next two years—whether directly or through someone else.
“You caused innocent people significant harm and distress,” the judge said.
“Put bluntly, your pranks are not funny.”
Court Hears About His Troubled Past
In court, Mizzy’s lawyer pointed to his young age and difficult upbringing.
He was 18 when the offences took place, has no contact with his father, and has a complicated relationship with his mother.
But he’s now enrolled at Haringey Sixth Form College, where he’s reportedly doing well, and he recently got a job as a waiter.
His barrister argued that Mizzy is making real efforts to improve his life and pleaded with the judge to consider a community sentence instead of detention.
The judge, however, insisted that the seriousness of his actions warranted jail time.
Police Hope This Sends a Clear Message
After the hearing, Detective Chief Inspector Yasmin Lalani from the Met Police said she hoped the sentence would serve as a wake-up call—for Mizzy and others.
“I think it’s a loud and clear message that nobody is above the law,” she said.
“You have to be held accountable.”
Mizzy’s Return: Redemption or Repeat?
Despite his promises of change, Mizzy’s talk of returning to social media leaves many skeptical.
Can someone so infamous for pushing boundaries really reinvent themselves?
Only time will tell if Bacari-Bronze O’Garro truly leaves the “TikTok troublemaker” label behind—or if his comeback will stir up the same chaos that got him locked up in the first place.
