@Source: thesun.co.uk
THIS is the uncomfortable moment internet sensation Yung Filly makes a cheerful comment as he leaves court just moments after entering a rape plea.
The YouTube star broke his silence as he told reporters “it’s a lovely day” when asked how he was feeling about his situation - in his first public sighting in five months.
The 29-year-old star - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in his hotel room in Perth, after performing at a nightclub.
After pleading not guilty to eight charges relating to the alleged rape, he was caught on camera leaving court confidently, telling reporters “good afternoon, good afternoon” in a nonchalant tone.
He walked towards a car wearing a grey sweatshirt and cap and responded to reporters calmly: “I’m enjoying the weather man, it’s a lovely day.”
The internet personality - who has appeared on several BBC shows - faces three charges of assault, one count of impeding a person's normal breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure to the neck, and four counts of sexual penetration without consent.
The alleged incident took place on September 28, 2024, after the star had finished performing at Bar1 Nightclub whilst on tour in Australia.
Barrientos was arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth by West Australian detectives on October 9.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges at Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
According to court documents, Barrientos pleaded guilty to a reckless driving charge on December 5 whilst on bail which began in October.
He was caught driving over 96mph on the Roe Highway on 17 November.
Barrientos became a popular social media personality and rapper under the alias Yung Filly and has appeared on several TV shows, charity football matches and YouTube videos.
He is known for working with Beta Squad, a group of YouTube stars, and has also featured on Soccer Aid as well as The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer.
The court will hear the matter in June - and he remains free on £52,000 bail under strict conditions.
