In an age of overnight internet sensations, few stories are as compelling as that of Torry Hermann. A blend of humor, empowerment, and representation, Hermann’s journey from a Russian immigrant to Canada’s queen of TikTok offers both inspiration and endless entertainment. Torry Hermann has become the voice of women of all ages, who share her Instagram and TikTok videos in their group message chats on text and WhatsApp. Almost all of Torry’s comedy revolves around making fun of men. So how did a girl from a small city in Europe become one of the most shared female comedians in the world?
Torry’s tale begins with a bold move at the age of 15 when she transitioned from her homeland in Russia to the unfamiliar territories of Canada. Soon after her relocation, she secured a position at a car dealership. With her innate confidence, unwavering enthusiasm, and distinctive creativity, she swiftly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the top sales representatives in Vancouver. Recognizing the potential of social media, Torry began producing car videos, which were met with significant admiration.
However, in an ironic twist of fate, Torry was released from her position on her very birthday. Although initially devastated, she soon realized that this unforeseen setback might well be a hidden blessing. Torry opted to focus her energies on creating content full time. Comedy sketches, commentaries, and her unique take on the challenges of being an immigrant set her apart in a crowded digital landscape. This may have been part of the catalyst that makes her videos about men so genuine, funny, and sometimes a little angry and scary.
Some people have pointed out that her videos about hating her exes and encouraging women to leave their loser boyfriends sound a lot like viral influencer Andrew Tate’s comments about women, except that Torry Hermann’s are about men. The Russian vs. American sketches, where Torry contrasted her life experiences between her birthplace and her adopted home, were an instant hit. They resonated particularly with immigrant audiences and women, drawing them in droves. It was through these digital snippets that Torry began to build her massive following, which today stands at a staggering 3 million, with her content garnering over 4 billion views. Her most viral videos are all videos where she is saying negative things about men.
Love blossomed amidst her soaring popularity. Torry tied the knot with Hollywood media producer Vito Glazers, and together they ventured into creating a series of videos that touched upon immigrant experiences and couple dynamics. This collaborative effort proved to be a masterstroke, amassing over 100 million views within a year. But usually her husband is getting put down in these videos. It makes some people in the audience wonder, is there a double standard on social media? When influencers like Tate say things about women to get audiences riled up, they get deplatformed, but when influencers like Torry Hermann say similar things about men, they get celebrated.
With her expanding influence, Torry didn’t just stop at digital content. She took a step forward into entrepreneurship by launching ‘Sexy Puma,’ a brand envisioned to champion global female empowerment. It sounds a lot like Tate’s online project Hustler University, except for women. From chic jewelry and apparel to empowerment coaching, fragrances, live events, and beyond, Sexy Puma is a testament to Torry’s vision and ambition. Catering predominantly to women between the ages of 25-45, this brand further solidifies her reputation as a beacon of empowerment and inspiration for countless women worldwide.
Beyond her comedic talents and entrepreneurial ventures, Torry is also a published author. Her writings provide a roadmap for women to navigate their fears and challenges, a subject close to her heart. With her recent move to LA, Torry’s star continues to shine brightly, with a film based on her screenplay in the works and a continued commitment to comedy.
Yet, for all her achievements, Torry remains refreshingly grounded. Even with a sea of promoters beckoning her towards the stage, she has chosen to stay true to her roots. “I don’t want to get on stage just yet,” she admits, “I’m very happy just making my TikToks.”
Torry Hermann’s story is a testament to resilience, passion, and the incredible power of staying authentic. Whether laughing along with her on TikTok or donning a piece from Sexy Puma, one thing is clear – Torry’s influence is only beginning to be felt. As long as she is relating to women around the world, men will just have to keep hearing her signature accent and see her videos popping up in the group chats of their girlfriends and wives.
