Alyssa Mercante’s Twitter Meltdown: Threatens, Lies, and Loses It!

Alyssa Mercante Attacks Smash JT’s Family Over Criticism – Unhinged Behavior Exposed

Alyssa Mercante, the controversial *woke* journalist who has made a name for herself through personal attacks and unhinged meltdowns, has once again proven why the gaming community can’t stand her. This time, she went after YouTuber *Smash JT* (Jeff Tarzia) with a low blow—attacking his family.

Mercante, who recently joined Rolling Stone as a *freelance journalist*, clearly can’t handle criticism. After *Smash JT* called her out for her position in gaming journalism, Mercante’s response wasn’t just defensive—it was downright nasty. Instead of addressing the points raised, she took the opportunity to launch a personal attack on *Smash JT*, even bringing his family into the equation.

In a series of petty tweets, Mercante stooped to a new low, saying, *“I’d be mortified to have this man as my father.”* This was a direct, unprovoked attack on *Smash JT’s* character, a comment meant to hurt rather than challenge his views. But the irony is rich—Mercante, who has long criticized others for “toxic behavior,” is the one now engaging in the kind of petty, family-targeting insults that she claims to condemn.

Her bitterness was *on full display* as she ranted about *Smash JT* being a “middle-aged man desperate for relevance” and *“chasing internet drama.”* But what Mercante seems to overlook is that her own career has been one *endless* series of controversy after controversy. Whether she’s clashing with *Gamergate* supporters, getting into heated arguments with other journalists, or trying to use her platform to push a *woke* agenda, *Mercante’s* personal attacks seem to be the only thing keeping her relevant.

This latest meltdown over criticism isn’t a surprise to those who’ve followed her career. For someone who regularly inserts herself into online drama, Mercante sure knows how to dish it out but can’t take it when the tables are turned. *Her reaction to criticism of her Rolling Stone piece* about *Halo 2*—where she included an unnecessary political spin on an iconic game—only proved that she is more interested in starting fights than engaging in productive dialogue.

Mercante’s behavior shows how little self-awareness she has. While others in the industry work hard to build a professional reputation, *Mercante* continues to burn bridges and alienate people with her bitter, *personalized attacks*. Her latest meltdown over *Smash JT’s* critique only cements why so many in the gaming community believe she’s unfit for any position in gaming journalism.

It’s clear that Mercante can’t handle being called out for her controversial views, so she resorts to these childish, spiteful responses. The gaming community is fed up, and the more she tries to insert herself into the conversation, the more people see her for what she really is—an activist with an agenda and nothing of value to add to the gaming discourse.

As *Rolling Stone* continues to give her a platform, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Mercante is just looking for attention, no matter how far she has to go to get it. Her unprofessional behavior and unwillingness to engage in constructive discussions leave us all wondering why a major publication like Rolling Stone would want to associate with such a divisive figure.
