Corey Hannon became gay public enemy #1 last weekend when he posted a video to his Instagram stories bragging about how he wasn’t going to let his COVID-19 symptoms stop him from partying on Fire Island.
An outcry ensued and Hannon, nicknamed “COVID Corey,” posted a followup video blasting his critics, calling them “nasty” and saying he hoped they all got COVID, too.

Well, it didn’t take long for internet sleuths to find the 27-year-old’s Facebook profile, where he describes himself as “Forever a hot mess,” to see where he worked.
On his About page, Hannon listed Norwegian Cruise Line and Kings of Kobe, a burger joint in New York City, as his employers.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Since then, Cruise Norwegian has been fielding angry tweets from people demanding to know whether Hannon still works there. (Spoiler alert: He doesn’t. Nor has he ever.)
Hi Thomas, our records indicate that this individual has never been employed by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, past or present. Thank you.

As for Kings of Kobe, it, too, has been inundated with angry tweets and has responded to several people by informing them Hannon hasn’t worked there in months.

Hannon has since issued an apology for his behavior and updated his Facebook profile to remove both Norwegian Cruise Line and Kings of Kobe from his list of employers, though he still describes himself as “Forever a hot mess.”

It’s weird that he would post a fake employer on his Facebook profile. Wouldn’t all of his friends know it was a lie??
Giggler
The lie may have not been for his friends, but his family who doesn’t know what he’s doing away from home.
Kangol2
He might have been a subcontractor or something, or just a liar. Sounds more like the latter.

The hot mess is making shit up as cover for dealing meth to other hot messes and/or hooking on the side.

Makes sense.
mountainmaat
yup.

Alright, you “holier than thou” sissy-marys, as I said before, he did it. He owns it. And he may pay for it with his life. What some of you are doing is called harassment and there is a good law against it. Are you gay, been harassed or assaulted? You nasty queens are doing the same thing! Too much idle time on your hands to do this crap? Try volunteer work at a Gay Center, or maybe a Human Rights Center. Be safe. Be strong and healthy. And wear that damn mask!! Love ya, for real.

He is the reason hate crimes were invented.

Translation: This guy put people’s lives in danger, but pointing that out is somehow akin to racism or bullying people because they’re gay.
So by your logic, if a woman is attacked by a rapist, she is actually the bully by trying to push her attacker away?
Chrisk
“as I said before” ….you might have but must have been under a different screen name. Maybe FFierce1?
Either you’re just trolling or this Douchebag is really you. No other possibility exists.

It’s the bogger in her nose that’s really offensive.

Child cheese!
