Race Hustler Danesh Noshirvan Doxxes Another White Woman, Forces Her Firing Over TikTok Video Defending Elon Musk
NOTE: In the interests of full disclosure, the author was previously served with legal process by Danesh Noshirvan and has supplied information to the authorities on multiple issues related to national security, criminal prosecution, and the revocation of Noshirvan’s Iranian mother’s citizenship.

Sydney McDaniel had no idea her TikTok video would change her life forever. The Bridgeport, West Virginia cosmetologist posted a short clip defending Elon Musk after Fake News media accused him of a “Nazi salute.”
Even the Anti-Defamation League conceded that Elon Musk – (😂 a high-functioning autistic African-American man by his own admission 😂) – made an awkward gesture.
Sydney McDaniel’s post was the textbook definition of a “nothing-burger.”
“It had maybe 30 views,” Sydney said. “Then Danesh Noshirvan screenshotted it and blew it up.”
Noshirvan, a California transplant to rural Mansfield, Pennsylvania, calls himself an “Iranian anchor baby.” In reality, he is the next generation of Race Extortionists, applying TikTok and social media to his grift and hustle.
He claims his business is “cancel culture.” In reality, Danesh Noshirvan is the racist. He hates white people and overwhelmingly targets them with his “accountability” videos and AI-driven social media
Danesh Noshirvan already has a body count, with an earlier campaign leading to the death of Texas High School football coach Aaron De La Torre.
Felony charges from the Denton County, Texas authorities are reportedly forthcoming.
In the meantime, Noshirvan continues his rampage. Danesh took Sydney’s video out of context and posted it alongside a photo of an actual Nazi.
“He wanted it to look real. He tagged my workplace and said where I was,” Sydney said.
Her employer and friend, Corey Groves, owner of the Platinum Salon in Bridgeport, West Virgina, weakly folded like a cheap tent.
Sydney McDaniel’s life is now destroyed. She is a new Victim of Danesh, and the number of victims is approaching the thousands.
The question now becomes, how can America stop the scourge of racial extortion and WOKE culture?
Maybe it begins by making the businesses that capitulate to Danesh Noshirvan and his ilk go the way of Bud Light.
From 30 Views to 20 Million — and a Nightmare
The video went viral.
“Twenty million views. My workplace got mass-called. I was doxxed,” she said. “People approached me in gas stations. I couldn’t go anywhere alone.”
Sydney’s employer was Platinum Salon, owned by Corey Groves. He had been her close friend for four years. At first, he stood by her.
“He told me, ‘If I have to face it, you have to face it too.’ I worked my shift. I got yelled at by other staff. But I showed up,” Sydney said.
Then, Groves called her. She was fired. No warning. No discussion.
“He said I couldn’t return. Then he blocked me. That was it,” she said.
“I lost my job, my income, my safety. All because I told people to stop being negative,” she said. “Danesh knew what he was doing. He wanted a scalp — and I was it.”
The Digital Al Sharpton and His WOKE Army
Sydney calls Danesh what many conservatives now do: a digital Al Sharpton — a race hustler for clicks.
“He targets certain people to rile up a mob,” she said. “It’s not about justice. It’s about views.”
Danesh has over 600 alleged victims, most of them white conservatives from red states. He’s posted addresses of the white conservative Supreme Court justices, including Justice Kavanaugh.
One man traveled across the country with weapons, intending to kill Kavanaugh — after Danesh published his address.
“He’s dangerous,” Sydney said. “He leads a cult. And people follow.”
In addition to the investigation in Denton County, Texas, in connection with the death of Aaron De La Torre, state and federal law enforcement have files on Danesh and are actively working cases.
The Victims of Danesh have formed their own support system. Florida mom Jennifer Couture, another Noshirvan target, reached out to Sydney.
“She helped me get through it,” Sydney said.
Sydney says Danesh directly contacted Platinum Salon and demanded she be fired.
“He called. Then, he emailed. He said there’d be repercussions,” she said.
Her former boss caved.
“He chose his business over me. I get protecting your business. But he was my best friend. He left me to be destroyed.”
Sydney believes race played a role.
“Would he have called me a Nazi if I weren’t a white conservative woman? Probably not,” she said.
But Danesh’s tactics aren’t simply racist — they’re calculated.
“He ignored the caption. He knew what he was doing. It was never about what I said. It was about controlling the narrative,” she said.
And that narrative almost got her killed.
Aaron De La Torre wasn’t so lucky.
The Cost of Cowardice
Sydney doesn’t just blame Danesh. She blames the people who give him power — including Corey Groves.
“Corey abandoned me,” she said. “No one from the salon ever checked in. I was suicidal. I couldn’t get out of bed for four days. My fiancé had to care for our child.”
She lost her income, her home security, and her mental health.
“I couldn’t even be a mother,” she said. “He took everything.”
The emotional damage remains.
“I have PTSD, and I still get anxiety at night. I relive the messages — thousands of them — across every platform,” she said. “They said I should die. That I don’t deserve to be a mom.”
We reached out to Corey Groves at Platinum Salon. We received no response as of press time. Here is what we asked:

Bridgeport, West Virginia 26330
(681) 456-0028Dear Mr. Groves,
We are journalists conducting an investigation into the recent social media harassment campaign targeting Sydney McDaniel — your former employee and friend — and the wider pattern of online racial extortion carried out by TikTok influencer Danesh Noshirvan (known as @thatdaneshguy).
Sydney has publicly stated that she was fired from Platinum Salon after her TikTok video, in which she defended Elon Musk from fake news allegations, was maliciously manipulated by Noshirvan.
She claims Danesh falsely portrayed her as a “Nazi,” posted your business details, and incited a campaign of harassment and threats against both her and your salon.
We are offering you the opportunity to respond on the record to a number of important questions:
Loyalty and Betrayal
1. You told Sydney she wouldn’t be fired and that you would face the backlash with her. Why did you change your mind within hours?
2. Did you knowingly mislead Sydney when you initially said you would stand by her?
3. Did you speak directly with Danesh Noshirvan or anyone from his audience?
4. What threats or messages did you receive, and how did they influence your decision?
5. Why did you block Sydney immediately after firing her, ending both your professional and personal relationship?Extortion and Public Pressure
6. Sydney alleges that Danesh threatened repercussions against your business if you did not fire her. Do you confirm this?
7. Do you view those threats as online extortion?
8. Why did you comply with the demands of an online mob rather than defend a member of your own team and community?
9. Did you report any of the threats to law enforcement, local or federal?
10. Are you concerned that your decision may have legitimized Danesh’s tactic of cancel-culture blackmail?Community Standards and WOKE Capitulation
11. Why did you allow a WOKE internet personality to dictate how your business operates in small-town West Virginia?
12. Do you believe your response represents the values of your local community?
13. Do you believe your clientele — many of whom share Sydney’s values — will continue to support you after this decision?
14. Should local conservatives continue doing business with someone who cut ties with one of their own under WOKE pressure?Danesh Noshirvan: A Pattern of Abuse
15. Are you aware Danesh has over 600 documented victims, the majority being white, conservative, traditional Americans?
16. Do you believe this is a race-based campaign disguised as activism?
17. Do you view Danesh Noshirvan as a digital-age Al Sharpton — a race hustler who profits by falsely labeling others as racists and Nazis?
18. Do you believe Danesh targeted Sydney because she is a white conservative woman from West Virginia?Law Enforcement and Justice
19. Are you aware that Denton County, Texas prosecutors — including Paul Johnson, Jaime Beck, Lauren Marshall, Alexa Gallindo, and Kari Gannam — are preparing felony charges against Danesh related to the death of another one of his victims, Aaron De La Torre?
20. Do you support those charges? Should Danesh be prosecuted for his role in that tragedy?
21. There is already an active FBI investigation into Danesh. Do you believe federal authorities should step in before someone takes justice into their own hands?
22. Are you concerned that your decision to give in to Danesh may have encouraged further targeted harassment and placed others at risk?Accountability and Consequences
23. The WOKE mob came for Sydney. Now the RIGHT is coming for Platinum Salon. Are you ready for the backlash from conservatives?
24. Should American patriots boycott your business for betraying one of their own?
25. Do you think conservatives in West Virginia should continue to support you — or let you go the way of Bud Light?
26. Do you accept that your reputation in Bridgeport may be permanently damaged?
27. Would you fire her again today?This is a time-sensitive inquiry. We intend to publish soon and would appreciate your response to give the readership a fair and balanced persepctive of the issues. You may respond by email or request a phone or video interview. If we publish before hearing from you, we will incorporate your responses into a follow-up.
Regards,

Sydney believes that Corey Groves and Platinum Salon should be held accountable.
“If the Left can cancel people like me, then conservatives need to cancel those who abandon their own,” she said. “You don’t reward betrayal.”
A Call for Justice
The law? Sydney believes it must catch up.
“Danesh should be in prison,” she said. “He’s doxxed over 500 people. That’s 500 counts of destruction, 500 felonies. That’s life.”
Sydney wants the DOJ and state prosecutors to take action.
“If this had happened to a kid, they might not survive it,” she said. “He uses AI. He has networks. Social media companies protect him. They’re just as guilty.”
Sydney still walks with caution.
“I don’t go anywhere alone. I’m careful what I say. I know one wrong word, one post — and I’m a target again.”
She finished with a warning: “This isn’t just cancel culture. It’s warfare. And Danesh is the arsonist.”
