Controversial YouTube comedian Jordan Shanks-Markovina, better known as Friendlyjordies, is taking an “indefinite hiatus” from producing videos after his home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was set on fire in what police believe was a deliberate arson attack this week.
“I think we’re going to just tone back on the videos for a bit and, by tone back, I mean that’s it for a while for obvious reasons. [I’ll] get back to it at some point, but for now Friendlyjordies is on an indefinite hiatus,” he told his 632,000 subscribers. Shanks-Markovina had misplaced his key on Wednesday, so was not home at the time of the arson attack just after midnight.The Sydney Morning Herald
Speaking to the press on Wednesday as he arrived at the home, Shanks-Markovina said he had a “long list of suspects” based on his work, which has included videos on former deputy Premier John Barilaro, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and the “Worst Cash Converters in Australia”.“We’ve done some extremely dangerous reporting over the last year on a bunch of extremely powerful people and corporations, there are many people that would want to do that [arson],” he said.
