Jack Doherty is spilling on his Miami arrest ... telling TMZ the whole thing was so mind-numbingly boring, he’s actually calling it the worst day of his life.

The embattled influencer tells TMZ it was a brutal slog -- first stuck in a tiny cell with a cop for five hours, then shuffled off for a mugshot and fingerprints ... before spending another 10 hours in a big holding room where he could finally make some calls.

The day didn’t even end there ... the 22-year-old says he got thrown into yet another cell, took a nap, and then got jolted awake by guards who, he claims, were super nice -- even telling him TMZ had already posted his mugshot -- before letting him finally go.

"H3 Podcast" host Hila Klein says she's dealing with all sorts of vile threats simply for being Jewish ... and she says someone even sent her two human skulls in the mail!!!

The cohost of the comedy podcast tells TMZ ... she fears for her safety after two human skulls showed up at her office, and cops were called to her home over bogus claims that her children were living in filth.

We obtained photos of the human skulls sent to Hila and her husband, Ethan Klein, and it's pretty eerie.

Jack Doherty is out of jail and on TMZ ... or rather, TMZ is on him ... cause he wore a t-shirt with our logo over his mugshot in a new video.

Just after posting bail last night, the content creator took straight to TikTok to document his return home, saying, "I'm about to take my first shower since getting out. Jail is so freaking dirty, I didn't want to take a shower in there."

In another video, the 22-year-old boasted about posting his reported $3,500 bail as soon as his bail was available ... "I got out in under 24 hours."

As we reported, Jack was arrested in the Miami area outside a smoke shop and booked into Florida's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just before 9 AM on 3 charges -- possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and resisting arrest.

Famous YouTuber and content creator Jack Doherty has been arrested in the Miami area, TMZ can confirm.

He was cuffed by Miami Beach Police outside a smoke shop and booked into Florida's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just before 9 AM on 3 charges -- possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.

Specifically, cops say he was in possession of Amphetamine -- a medication used to manage ADHD and narcolepsy -- and less than 20 grams of weed.

Video of his arrest shows him arguing with police.

Jack Doherty was more worried about his bling than he was about heading down to the local jail ... begging cops to let him give his watch to a friend while they were slapping cuffs on him.

We've obtained footage from Jack's Saturday morning arrest ... and it kicks off with Doherty stopping next to a police car and getting searched in the middle of the street.

His friends are filming the interaction ... but they're quickly moved aside by cops who tell them they can step onto the curb or step into a pair of handcuffs just like Doherty. Unsurprisingly, they all choose the sidewalk.

Island Boys' Flyysoulja clashed with reality star Tony Alejandro in Florida Thursday night ... leading to a violent confrontation caught on video.

Tony -- who has appeared in "Battle Camp" and "The Mole" on Netflix -- says he loudly called Flyy and others "NPCs" -- Non-Player Characters, a Gen Z insult referring to someone as "bot."

She tells us the love from fans and the BBQ community has been a lifeline, saying she's moved by how many people Mike inspired and hopes to carry his legacy forward, even as she figures out what that means.

Food influencer Michael Duarte was shot and killed by cops in Texas after he threatened to kill people, according to new details released by police.

Food influencer Michael Duarte died in a "horrible incident" just days after celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife.

A North Carolina-based influencer learned about how rough breakups can be on Monday when she was ordered to pay $1.75 million -- after being found liable for ruining a marriage.

Brenay Kennard, who's got 3 million followers on TikTok and another 274,000 on Instagram, had been accused of having an affair with her manager, Tim Montague ... which apparently broke up his marriage with his now-estranged wife, Akira, reports WRAL-TV.

Akira -- who married Tim in 2018 and has two kids with him -- brought a civil lawsuit against Brenay after Tim started seeing the influencer. Akira claimed their affair caused plenty of anguish in her personal life and negatively impacted her family dynamic.

Brenay was found liable for criminal conversation -- which carries a penalty of $250,000 -- and alienation of affection, which came with a tab of $1.5 million.

FYI ... North Carolina's alienation of affection law allows estranged spouses to sue the individual they blame for breaking up their marriage. It's one of the few states with this kind of law.

Akira's lawyer, Robonetta Jones, issued a statement after the verdict, saying her client had "received justice" with the verdict.

The manner of her death, which occurred back in August, was officially listed as accidental.
