"Literal" and "literally" are on my list of forbidden adjectives and adverbs. Students are no longer allowed to use the former outside of literary analysis.
that's why i honestly feel like this was some sort of self-destructive move on her part. idk. i know people are dumb but i feel like doing something like this would be TOO dumb unless you were purposely trying to end your own career for whatever reason.
She built her audience around bringing to light the wrongdoings of people and companies, no wonder they jumped ship when she showed off her own misdeeds
For reals. Dudes like Jake Paul and other similar shitters survived drama because their viewer bases are mostly children and adults who think caring is "gay." But when your whole brand is bringing light to shittery, and you engage in shittery yourself, that audience is gonna turn on you without hesitation.
As an ex viewer, she literally built up the exact demographic that would screw right off when they found out what was going on behind the scenes. She expertly engineered her own downfall and all it took was a spat with another CZcamsr to have the truth come crashing in.
However, Legal Eagle himself also made a similar, and seemingly baseless, stealing accusation. He accused Mat Pat of copying his video some subject I don't remember anymore (might have been something about the copyright of some dance moves or something) while it's more likely that Mat Pat's legal expert has simply come to the same conclusion about the subject as Legal Eagle. However, unlike iilluminaughtii, Legal Eagle knew when to stop digging. He just pinned Mat Pat's response under his video and didn't press on and there was no drama of note.
@@wooferuwu166from what I understand (I could be a little off on a few of the specific details), one of legal eagle's editors reached out to her editor/s about a particular effect used by them they were interested in learning how to do. Apparently this isn't an uncommon practice but this rubbed her the wrong way. This seemingly innocuous interaction led her to conclude that legal eagle and his team were actively trying to "bite her style" to use a hip hop term. Instead of reacting like a mature adult she chose to publicly accuse him of plagiarism and was soon rightfully ridiculed. I'm not invested enough in this story to do additional research to fact check my synopsis but I'm sure I got the gist of it.
@@SmokeyChipOatley And just to cap off that situation, she has been confirmed to have plagiarized multiple videos, its just too funny it almost doesn't seem real shes legitimately delusional
That didn't stop OJ from evading a life sentence or Zimmerman from getting off due to Florida's stand your ground law. I learned from my time in law school that if you don't have a lawyer, most judges will be biased against you because they will assume that you lack the legal expertise to defend yourself. Even if you demonstrate an extensive knowledge of the law, the presiding judge will try to find a way to rule against you because of your hauteur in not seeking legal representation (which will have prevented the court from collecting additional fees).
Another great comparison to Iluminaughti's fall from grace is CreepshowArt. She also managed to self destruct in the same way but she did it so fast that it was kinda impressive
Yeah like holy hell, a lot of youtubers I have followed in the past turns out to be a terrible person. Creepshow, Jake Tran, and now Illuminaughtii. I stick with Coffeezilla and Munecat now, but this whole situation has made me very suspicious towards video essay and commentary youtubers. Which I guess is a lesson in of itself. You shouldn't take anyone by their word
@@rezandrarizkyirianto-1933 i know what you mean. I will say, its made me a bit more skeptical, but i will say, Swoop has been pretty good to her word. She does a good job just sticking to the facts and making it clear when something is her opinion/speculative. And she always pushes to keep the victims who were harmed at the forefront. Theres definitely a lot to parse through tho.
In 2021 the same year creepshowart’s downfall, I already do knew Blair isn’t a good person. There was small controversy but commentary and dramas CZcamsrs didn’t talk about it mainly because it wasn’t something to get profit off or ratings. I never understood what’s the appeal of her content and I’m not surprised of Blair’s controversy.
i don’t think the twitter fight would’ve ended her career in its own (considering it rly didn’t, it was just cringe then everyone moved on), but the abuse allegations were massive and then the hbomberguy video was an entire bucket of nails in the coffin
The saddest part of all of this is just how many people she hurt. It's frankly astounding. I'm a longtime follower of the Click, Oz Media, One Topic, and Wonderstruck, and their videos on the situation (especially Oz) show just how much Blair tried to ruin their lives.
Yeah, if anyone wants to know more information about this, I'd recommend they go visit their videos on this. And major props to them as well. Like, OT did it and he actually managed to stay pretty polite and calm throughout the entire thing, but you could still tell that he was severely hurt by this.
For real though, I had not watched her for a couple years but found Click during the pandemic and finding out these two used to work together was wild.
@@leila13dnd One nice thing is Click, Salty, OT, Damien, Oz and Wonder have all turned up in each others streams and vids supporting each other through this. Ultimately it's just the one person out of Sad Milk that is problematic.
I remember seeing the tweets RIGHT AS SHE WAS TWEETING THEM. All of her videos have a really chill vibe so seeing her be snarky on twitter really caught me off guard.
She has always been pretty snarky and sassy in her videos imo. I used to eatch her regularly but stopped watching her after she made a video on BANG energydrink because I dunno she just seemed so mean in it
@@ilikedinosaurs392 I'd initially liked her snarky comments on her vids, but like you, found some of her comments mean and throughly off-putting. I shrugged the first two or three mean comments off as everyone's allowed to have a bad day etc, but her increasingly negative attitude in public drove me away before all the drama hit the fan. I wonder if the mean comments were some of the few original insights she added to her videos. 😂
I only watched one video of hers, and it was about autism speaks, and I thought it was a good video. A few days later, I saw the stuff she did from other videos. I'm shocked
If you don't cite a reputable source such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, or Encyclopedia Brittanica, you are immediately discredited in my mind. If a student of mine cites CZcams or Fox News, I make sure to check that person immediately. Gen Z is going to learn one way or another.
Fighting a lawyer is one thing. Everyone is human, everyone can make mistakes. Fighting a lawyer over something you pertinently know you're on the wrong side of... now that's something else.
What's so insane about this is that Blair might have genuinely believed that Legal Eagle was "copying" her editing style because it's something that she'd been doing for years to other youtubers. It's like that saying, "one who uses poison always supsects to be poisoned themselves".
The woman is basically a Charles Dickens villain. She tried to foreclose on her ex-boyfriend's house right before Christmas. The house she manipulated him into buying, saying it would save their relationship, despite that she had told her friends that she was planning on breaking up with him soon.
@@SMG-vx3mu The scary and shitty thing is....that's not even an uncommon story. There's countless women doing that to dudes everyday. That being said, there's countless dudes doing that and much worse to women too. But the former is obviously much less known and talked about. Props to her dude for stepping up and speaking out. The fucked up women that do shit like that completely depend on the dude not wanting to be embarrassed. I've been in the situation myself. Fortunately I didn't have much of a saving when I met her, so she was only able to steal and manipulate my earnings for the time I was with her. Sucked starting over yet again (after 40 too) but when it finally ended I still had a roof over my head (plus all my friends and family, unlike her) while she was/still is living out of a backpack and basically doing whatever it takes to get her next meth fix (going on 2 fuckin years now). She still thinks she can con me, not realizing i've purposefully stayed silent when she inevitably hits me up every 4-5 months "thinking about me". I'll never reply, just stay silent and celebrate every time she reaches out, knowing shes got nobody left and is just super desperate. Gonna throw a fucking party when I see she's finally in jail or in the ground. Definitely feel for the ex. Fortunately he's still young and should be able to rebound. Meanwhile that bitch will fuck up whatever little bit she has left and will never be able to earn by just counting on herself. Best of luck to all the GOOD men and women out there and especially those who got taken to the cleaners all because you thought you could trust someone or maybe just had too big a heart.
@@joenobody5913Exactly, I feel like emotional abuse from women towards men really should be discussed more and destigmatized. Tired of it being glossed over. Blair is a truly horrible human.
@@kittykittybangbang9367 basically most videos. The ones I remember rn are the Fyre festival and her series on the Vaccine claim that started Anti-Vax Hbomberguy has a good video on it
I used to watch Blair way back when I was around 13/14. She actually used to make reddit content similar to channels like 'The Click' and 'EmKay', Both of whom she formed a channel with called 'Sad Milk'. Sad Milk however, along with all of her reddit content, was deleted. I was confused at the time and after some digging I found out that apparently, she had actually not only deleted the reddit content on her channel to focus on MLM stuff, but she'd also deleted ALL of Sad Milk's videos without even talking about it to the other creators she shared the channels with. That seemed kinda sketchy to me, so I tuned out of her content since then.
This whole situation is like that domino meme, with the smallest piece being "picking a twitter fight over highlighter effects" and the last being all the abusive toxic shit, what just surfaced.
If she had just said, "sorry, I was having bad day, that was unwarranted of me and I'm sorry" this might have never happened. She keeps doubling down and otherwise, ignoring everything, hoping it'll blow over.
Yeah the audience she had would have probably forgiven her if she just apologized that time and admitted she made a error of judgment and whatnot. I know sometimes i make comments i regret making(i was angry when i said it how i did, i learned more information to change my mind, maybe i amped it up because i didnt wanna be reasonable to someone i felt was being an unreasonable twat, etc), but i dont have a following to be accountable to like she does. She fostered an audience who cares about justice, when she thought she fostered on cult of personality.
It's mind-blowing that the ball got rolling on the end of Blair's career as a content creator because Blair just couldn't help but publicly make an ass out of herself, actually thinking that Legal Eagle had ripped off a freaking *wallpaper style* from her.
Not to armchair psychologize, but to me the stuff with LegalEagle, and then her awful "exposed" apology video (it was bad even by CZcams apology standards), suggests that while she can be highly manipulative and has no qualms about doing or supporting or BEING whatever will make her the most popular or successful (if the allegations from Oz Media and everyone are true), it seems like Blair also has a self-sabotaging tendency with these relationships, business or otherwise. Sooner or later, she's unable to resist blowing up her own spot and exposing her grift.
@@sholem_bondprobably for more attention she tried to start drama, often attention seekers do this self sabotage to garner attention of any kind wether it be anger or any other heightened emotional response.
@@thetheory6159 she has editors who would have bought an asset on her behalf... And if she's had many editors it might just be a random asset in a library that they use for each episode and no one realised it wasn't custom made. Which is pretty embarrassing. But any mistake to make. But to do it publicly and call out a decent CZcamsr about it is pretty hilarious and bad.
It was stupid of her to be told by her editors it was a non-issue, so she was determined to make it one. She herself showed the dms between her editors and LE editors, *AND* her dms with her own editors. Wherein she straight up denies what they are telling her in order to proceed with an erroneous allegation.
Honestly it wasn’t that surprising to me. Although she hid it well, she always had an attitude where she seemed to be always right about everything. Not to mention she had done plenty of petty things in the past that she never apologized for. Honestly there was “narcissist” written all over her channel.
@@Fck_the_atfBingo! Exactly. Couldn't stand her. Watched a couple of videos but then more I watched the more I couldn't stand her. I'm not surprised that people are surprised.
@Fck_the_atf Oh yeah as soon as my fiance showed me her videos I thought "Oh she kinda sounds like a narcissist". I never knew about any of her controversies since we don't go on Twitter or listen to drama channels. But her attitude really rubbed me the wrong way.
As a former illuminaughtii fan I cannot express how satisfying its is seeing those who she attacked and harassed finally be heard. Oz raising that money was truly inspiring, cannot be more glad she’s been exposed.
The most powerful part of the illuminaughti situation is that past his response tweet to her, Legal Eagle hasn't breathed a word about the illuminaughti situation. It was like he threw pandora's box on her like a fucking grenade and then went back to what he usually does like being the catalyst to her destruction was no big deal to him. Truly a power move.
The only one who comes to mind is Boogie?! James Somerton and Jirard The Completionist absolutely smashed the Boogie and Illuminaughtii career destruction records....it's been a wild year for CZcamsr careers being obliterated
@@nerazim1110It was found his charity, the Open Hand Foundation, had never donated a single cent of the money they'd been sent over the last decade. This is a major problem for several reasons. For one, inflation means that the money that had been donated years ago has less power to help, now. For another, Jirard had been actively telling his audience they were partnered with named research funds and strongly suggesting their money would be going there. I recommend checking out the videos done by Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamer, who were the ones to investigate and break the story. The more information is uncovered, the more likely it seems Jirard and his family may have been doing charity fraud in his late mother's name.
Apparently all the money from his charity streams never made it to charity until after they got called out, Karl Jobst has a couple of videos on it, a couple of others too. It gets pretty wild
I remember going in her Discord server like 6 months ago, and seeing one comment from a guy who didn't believe a word of the drama, purely because MoistCr1TikaL hadn't covered it. Wonder how he's doing now.
Something my mom always told me that really sticks with me especially when I see things like this, is " live your life in a way so that if anyone says something bad about you no one will believe it." Basically be a nice and decent human being.
Yes!!! This!!! My last ex tried lying saying I was abusive and treated her horribly. despite my mountain of evidence that it was the other way around I never shared it. I always tried to treat her like a queen and everyone else how I would like to be treated by others. But whenever she tried telling people this their response was almost always "Really? He was abusive?" Lmao no one believed her cause they knew I tried to treat everyone as best as I could so I couldn't have an abusive bone in my body. Your mom is a wise woman!
this sounds more like you don’t have to actually be a good person, but as long as other people believe you are one you can get away with anything, which is pretty true.
@@EReber76 dude, no joke. This sounded just like my last relationship. Girl would go nuts, so I would, at times, have to hold her still, and if I so happen to bruise her arms, the next day she would act like I was the abusive one. In actuality, I just didn't feel like being her punching bag. Luckily, much like you, no one would believe her. Her own mother had to have a talk with her. Her grandpa tried to convince me to dump her. Eventually, I left her and couldn't be better off. I do feel bad cuz I did promise her grandparents I would keep in touch but never did.
She LITERALLY dropped a video at the exact same time you dropped this video. Her ability to just content-farm pile-drive through the insanity is … something else.
I really think charlie is absolutely right on this one. Completely ignore the shit pilling uparound her and try to make as much money as she can before costs vs profit make it not worth it. We are talking about a shitty human being who cant look past the darkness inside her asshole, thats how deep she is.
I actually learned about how nasty she can be because of The Click. He had a whole video about why he and a few others broke away from her. It's insane just how smug and oblivious she is.
I get to be extra mad as an autistic fan of The Click for one special reason: Iiluminaughtii had a sock puppet account on Reddit that pretended to be autistic. After The Click left the SadMilk channel, she used this account specifically to try and turn other autistic fans of The Click against him, claiming he was not accepting and was actually using us. Basically: SHE TRIED TO SECRETLY MANIPULATE AUTISTIC PEOPLE INTO BEING HER ATTACK DOGS BECAUSE SHE WAS MAD AT A GUY WHO POLITELY EXITED HER GROUP PODCAST!
i remember when that shit went down a couple years ago and i unsubbed from her immediately it was kinda shocking to see her again in 2023 like a fuckin blast from the past
I remember I subbed to her when her channel was still small and went off her quickly. She became VERY smug VERY quickly, even when she wasn’t even that popular on CZcams, and she always phrased the facts she presented as like, super secret information that only she had access to, even if it was just something that pretty much everyone already knows. I fully admit I’m not even a particularly cultured or educated person, but there were so many times when she would be saying something like “now this is a well-kept industry secret, not a lot of people know this but I got the inside scoop for you guys” and I’d just be sat there watching like…. Yeah, no, I could’ve told you that.
That's just a scam. Stearic acid actually increases mitochondrial growth and cell metabolism. All this nonsense was created by the food companies that profit from cheap oils.@@aced6333
I don’t know, I’ve noticed after a lot of the bigger videos that have come out about her, her views actually go up. Instead of only getting around 20 K per video, she gets closer to 40 to 50 K per video. That happened after HBomber guy’s video came out. Don’t really know why people still flock to her channel, but I guess people like incorrect information.
@@Darkemberandviolet She pays for numbers. Plus her dislikes have gone way up as well. Between that and filtering/turning off her comments, she's shooting herself in the foot at this point and is getting no more revenue. Views going slightly up won't save her now.
What a shame… I haven’t seen her vids in a while and I went to search for her today to see her new stuff and this is what I find. Thanks for covering the story Charlie
I’m a former fan of iiluminaughtii. She is a terrible person who leaked her “friend’s” unaliving note. She’s also just a general conwoman and grifter. The schadenfreude I feel from seeing her downfall is immense.
The fact that I found her page, followed her, got sick of her and stopped watching, THEN all this came out -- I dodged a huge fucking bullet. I'm so embarrassed for her, for how everything has unraveled. May she get what she deserves in life. ETA: for everyone who doesn't understand what "dodged a bullet" means - it's an idiom. I'm saying I lucked out by not becoming super invested in her content just to be disappointed. I jumped ship before it started sinking. Use some critical thinking skills bois.
I no longer respect Charlie He's become everything he's hated You go for the easiest targets. If they're really friends they wouldn't out her like this...this is what happens when everyone you surround yourself with is a as loyal as a convincing argument. Charlie picks the easiest softest targets, he's literally going after a "mean girl" he's such a w u **. Legal eagle thing was her business. CZcamsrs outing each other is so snakey. If she did it right Charlie would be rooting for her. He has no loyalty and no unique thoughts. He's such a hypocrite, a lair, and he TRULY stands by nothing.. wow good prediction Charlie. An easy target, a bully, and a short litoe snivling coward with girl hair.. but you're down to earth.. whatever dude, you lost your way.. maybe you were never g** actor Micheal Douglas. Charlie really makes me sad he used to be a cool dude now he's just a "CZcamsr" all his content is content and he believes in it as much as it'll be a good video. He's got no substance anymore. Just a good voice and the facade of a cool chill guy while being a weasel that'll stab you as soon as you're down or slip up. Don't be Charlie's friend, he'll be so disappointed and never expect anything as hainous as saying MEAN WORDS. like illumnaighti. Suddenly you're God, whatever Charlie. You've become the "nice guy" again. You're just rich and buff surrounded by yes men now. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE ANAKIAN, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT THEM NOT BULLY LITTLE CZcams GIRLS WHO CRY AT VIDEOS LIKE THIS. LIKE CMON BRI SHES A GIRL, SHE GAVE THEM ALL JOBS. LIFE IS HARD, NOW BECAUSE OF HER WEASEL *FRIENDS" SHELL NEVER WORK IN YOURUBE AGAIN AND YOU DONT HELP. YOURE MONSTER YOULL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE CHARLIE, YOU COWARD. HER FRIENDS WILL TO, BET THEY GOT A NEW JOB WITH NEW CZcamsRS AND FORGIT ABOUT THEIR "FRIEND" IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS YOU ILLUMANUGHTI, DONT LET NO ONE HURT YOUR STRIDE. YOURE HUMAN, AND YOURE BAD TO THE BONE Yea, I watch a lil CZcams.. make your own decisions Charlie, you showed a lot of kids how to.. now be a man and stop making videos.. make points. Yes I'm trying to kill your channel Charlie, but don't worry . You can make ai videos later. Go f yourself Charlie. I at least respect you for not deleting comments. Oh but now justify jumping at this like a snake Charlie. Little short weasel. You'll never be anything close to a real man , always a little boy who's strong but against a REAL MAN you'd have to just kiss him that's your whole thing right, like a self aware defeat admitting beta who disguised it by saying he's "good at taking the loss" beta.
Wanna know how you know you're wrong Charlie? After reading this you couldn't make this video while looking her in the eyes because theirs nothing for you int it to standby. Easy target, bully because you can.. you're weak, you used to be strong.. but the crown ways heavy huh little prince..?GET ANGRY, DENY, SUBVERT.. We can all be kingss and queens, if we just learn to belieeeeve.. remember?
Hi there! Ex-Illumanaughti subscriber here. I used to watch Illumanaughti until the shit that went down with her. Like, I was actively still subscribed to her when she put out her apology video. Yeah, I know, yikes. And I was actually kinda still somewhat on her side, until I heard a personal account from another CZcamsr who I followed who laid all the allegations out as simple as possible. It’s weird to be on that side of the drama as it happens. I even got my dad into her channel (I just let him forget about it. Didn’t want to go into the *ever-growing* drama by explaining it). Not just being on the side, but the fact that I was just going to passively accept some of that shit she did until another CZcamsr I did know spoke up. What was I *THINKING?!* Makes me laugh, honestly. With how blind I wanted to be to it all.
Ive been watching you for the last 10 years of my life,i turn 20 in august and im so glad that i have your videos whenever im down or angry,my father died around the time i started watching you and your videos really helped me through it.whatever you do in the future just remember that your fans really do love you and we’ll all follow you through everything you do jack,love you man hope you see this❤️
Not just that, she accused a copyright lawyer of plagiarism. Sure, breaking copyright law and plagiarizing are two different things, but they're close enough that she should've known better.
@@whym6438 My theory is she either has a major superiority complex or she got away with screwing people over and treating everyone however she wanted for so long that she thought she was untouchable, which i guess is sort of a superiority complex but idk how else to explain it lol
bruh i loved her videos so much and when i heard about this drama i literally avoided it like the plague and unsubbed and never wanted to hear about it again cause it was so insane to me that someone who dedicated a whole CZcams channel to calling out greedy, evil corporations and people turned out to be... well... like that. trust no one
@@bironjames9948people like to believe they have good discernment of who is and isn’t a safe person. fear sets in when we realize we’ve been deceived by someone we trusted, because if we’ve been fooled once, it’s like ‘well who ELSE is deceiving me RIGHT NOW?’ trustworthy people are more likely to be deceived bc they often assume others will be as honest as them. it’s in their nature to trust. the hardest lesson for any of us to learn is that we can never fully trust even the people we are closest to, to be who they say they are. it’s a universal lesson.
Thing is one of the only videos I've seen from her from years ago, she was calling out someone for behavior that had been skewed wildly out of context. She's always been the definition of subconscious projection. Never trust someone who spends too much energy talking about how much they hate *insert sin here*
Picking a fight over copyright with LegalEagle is like turning to a gun fight with a water pistol. Dude is basically THE guy when it comes to CZcams law.
She hinted in one of the leaked discord chats that she already has a second channel. Wouldn't be at all surprised that there's another channel she owns and has hired someone for peanuts to read whatever script she's provided.
I used to have a friend who acted practically identical to illuminaughtii in the way they acted and all of this (like people who i really look up to being horribly effected by her) just reminds me how narcissistic people like this must really be. To think that you have some sort of high horse in a situation were pretty much EVERYONE hates you is soo insufferable.
The fact she gets to walk away from all the horrible and illegal shit she did to Oz and Wonder is downright evil. Wonder deserves to have his suffering vindicated and Oz deserves compensation for all the bs that she put him through during their relationship
I remember seeing the expose Click had about Illuminaughtii months ago. I had found his channel purely by chance and love the content, and had never heard of her before all of this. You can tell just how bad the situation was, especially when he got emotional toward the end because of *other* information that had come up that made the situation worse. I had someone that I disagreed with in a forum that I had banned, but never did I drag it outside of the confines of the various members who were affected. I could never imagine doing something like that to them. Worst I'll ever say is that we had a disagreement and she was banned for it.
I'm on the outside skirt of the Friend group she made this really horrible Video about (OT, Oz Media, TheClick, ect.). You didn't even cover the worst of her actions, like publicly talking about her friends suicide note and accusing another one of horrible crimes he didn't do in a desperate attempt to hurt their reputation. I talked to her once and distanced myself immediately, because something was so off. I couldn't pinpoint it at the time, but now that I know I'm glad I did. I wish nothing but the best to everyone else involved, but I hope she get's everything she deserves
It’s not often a youtuber gets their career destroyed not by being some sort of pedo or completely scamming their audience. But by just being a plain and simple terrible person behind the scenes.
Not just a terrible person in general but she participated in everything her channe stood against regarding MLMs that's why her audience turned on her.
My favorite part about this situation is that Blair built her brand on talking about the awful things big brands and stuff do, and pretty much everything she's done flies in the face of the values she supposedly stood for. Sending love to Oz btw.
Not all the brands even deserved it, for some reason she made a video about the dodo being bad when it literally was some innocent mistakes and that was it.
It’s just wild to me just how vindictive and ill intended a lot of what she’s done has been. She just seems like a really mean and bitter person. Almost evil in how manipulative she is.
@@nickcariglio8228 financially abusing someone who’s supposed to trust you more than anyone is actually fucking crazy to me. Like emotional abuse is commonplace which sucks enough already but using them for money is actually insane.
There was a scene in Attack on Titan, where Armin tells everyone that he was able to deduce that the Female Titan was not like the feral ones, because it was able to kill people without eating them, and clarifying that wild titans only want to _eat_ humans, and that humans incidentally die in that process. It's one thing that Illuminaughtii acts selfishly and ruthlessly advances her own position, but it's another level of vile entirely when she does so many actions for the sole purpose of hurting others. She had NO tactical advantage to gain from picking the fight with LegalEagle, for instance; it, like so many of her actions, was to placate her own ego and set it straight to all that even the people who work alongside her are below her.
The fact that she's still out to get OzMedia, is mind-blowing. The lawsuit looks fraudulent at best, frivolous at worst. I just hope she'll completely disappear off the platform and FINALLY leaves her victims alone!
Genuinely, got one of her videos recommended to me ages back, like, a subreddit read, maybe an r/aita or something... and I remember hearing her take on one of the situations and just immediately recoiling to her entire personality. It just... bothered me so deeply. I don't even remember what the hell it was she said or how she said it, I just remember I got such strong red flags from it, I just ignored the channel when it came back up. And then she turned out to be like THAT.
I've been around that specific group of content creators (Oz, OneTopic, Wonder, The Click) for.... Years. I've been subbed to Oz for the longest, since before he started calling his viewers 'Lovely Degenerates'. Blair deserves everything that's coming for her.
I'm friends with SaltyTheAlien and therefore know some of the others as well. The amount of shit that went on, especially behind closed doors is just horrible! I'm glad she finally get's what she deserves. I talked to her once and simply did not like her at all. I didn't know what it was at the time, but daaaaamn I'm glad my gut was right lol
Well, if you've actually consulted legal counsel as to whether you had a valid reason to sue someone who is also a lawyer, then it's not really crazy. However throwing baseless accusations against a lawyer in public before you've consulted anyone about it is pretty stupid.
Keep in mind that she didn't write any of those videos herself. She plagiarised her content. So you weren't getting anything from her that you can't get better from somewhere else
Legal Eagle has been a solid addition overall to the YT ecosystem. Edit: Am not a bot, just a nerd working from home who caught the video super early lol. Oh I see, the comments are bots..
Same here. I mean her icon looks familiar, I was probably recommended either one of her vids of a vid about the stupid stuff she's done at some point. Or maybe someone references her once in a diff vid, that I had no context for. But yeah I missed all this too, you are not alone.
@@Kermit_E_FrogThis dude doesn't own any shirts with any sort of graphic print or design on front, literally all of his videos feature a blank white t shirt or a blank black t shirt
I wish. Her views have honestly gone up since they’ve both put out videos on her. Her most recent video is already almost at 30 K less than a day, and there were times it would take her three or four days to get to that point.
@@DarkemberandvioletThat’s during some massive drama, stuff like this kills growth. She’ll be gone in a year especially since the drama gets recommended from her videos.
This whole situation, and Im surprised I havent seen anyone else point this out, is extremely reminiscent of the creepshowart situation. A rapid, massive, brutal downfall, exposing her as an actual monster
I've seen it pointed out repeatedly, and it's something I personally pointed out immediately. And everyone in the comment section, at first, was telling me how wrong I was, how much worse Shannon is. I disagreed then and I disagree now. I think they're equally evil, they just go about bringing their misery in different ways.
It’s so upsetting since I used to watch her religiously only for her to see her turn into this. It’s like what they say, ‘you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain’

"She brought piss to a poop fight" is one of the wildest things I've ever heard someone say.

That’s just Charlie though
I've heard: "It's like bringing a bag of dogshit to a knife fight, and coming out victorious." And even quoted it once.
Oh you’re new here
Sounds about right to me.
She built her audience around bringing to light the wrongdoings of people and companies, no wonder they jumped ship when she showed off her own misdeeds
Her videos got me and others to stop buying from horrible companies that I had no clue where bad. Now we are boycotting her lol
She became her own downfall lmao
i used to regularly watch her and enjoy the content. needless to say, never again, what a waste of my time.
For reals. Dudes like Jake Paul and other similar shitters survived drama because their viewer bases are mostly children and adults who think caring is "gay." But when your whole brand is bringing light to shittery, and you engage in shittery yourself, that audience is gonna turn on you without hesitation.
As an ex viewer, she literally built up the exact demographic that would screw right off when they found out what was going on behind the scenes. She expertly engineered her own downfall and all it took was a spat with another CZcamsr to have the truth come crashing in.
Legal Eagle's job is literally having high stakes arguements and professionally dunking on accusations; genius idea to call him out.
he was incredibly wrong with Kyle Rittenhouse
@@Quicks1lvr nah
@@Domaupperrank2yeah he was.
However, Legal Eagle himself also made a similar, and seemingly baseless, stealing accusation. He accused Mat Pat of copying his video some subject I don't remember anymore (might have been something about the copyright of some dance moves or something) while it's more likely that Mat Pat's legal expert has simply come to the same conclusion about the subject as Legal Eagle. However, unlike iilluminaughtii, Legal Eagle knew when to stop digging. He just pinned Mat Pat's response under his video and didn't press on and there was no drama of note.

@@wooferuwu166from what I understand (I could be a little off on a few of the specific details), one of legal eagle's editors reached out to her editor/s about a particular effect used by them they were interested in learning how to do. Apparently this isn't an uncommon practice but this rubbed her the wrong way. This seemingly innocuous interaction led her to conclude that legal eagle and his team were actively trying to "bite her style" to use a hip hop term. Instead of reacting like a mature adult she chose to publicly accuse him of plagiarism and was soon rightfully ridiculed.

Going after a lawyer is a hilariously stupid move. Especially when you know it's not true
That didn't stop OJ from evading a life sentence or Zimmerman from getting off due to Florida's stand your ground law. I learned from my time in law school that if you don't have a lawyer, most judges will be biased against you because they will assume that you lack the legal expertise to defend yourself. Even if you demonstrate an extensive knowledge of the law, the presiding judge will try to find a way to rule against you because of your hauteur in not seeking legal representation (which will have prevented the court from collecting additional fees).

Another great comparison to Iluminaughti's fall from grace is CreepshowArt. She also managed to self destruct in the same way but she did it so fast that it was kinda impressive
True
Moreover Shannon aka CreepshowArt is exactly like her, both being horrible persons having no empathy towards other human
Not only Creepshow absolutely nuked herself but it was also one of the most bizarre situations possible.
Yeah like holy hell, a lot of youtubers I have followed in the past turns out to be a terrible person. Creepshow, Jake Tran, and now Illuminaughtii. I stick with Coffeezilla and Munecat now, but this whole situation has made me very suspicious towards video essay and commentary youtubers. Which I guess is a lesson in of itself.

@@rezandrarizkyirianto-1933 i know what you mean. I will say, its made me a bit more skeptical, but i will say, Swoop has been pretty good to her word.

Theres definitely a lot to parse through tho.
In 2021 the same year creepshowart’s downfall, I already do knew Blair isn’t a good person. There was small controversy but commentary and dramas CZcamsrs didn’t talk about it mainly because it wasn’t something to get profit off or ratings. I never understood what’s the appeal of her content and I’m not surprised of Blair’s controversy.
I just love that what brought her down was her picking a fight on twitter over literally nothing

And major props to them as well. Like, OT did it and he actually managed to stay pretty polite and calm throughout the entire thing, but you could still tell that he was severely hurt by this.

All of her videos have a really chill vibe so seeing her be snarky on twitter really caught me off guard.
Earning from leeching on companies or people’s names by using their negative aspects doesn't seem that chill to me.
She has always been pretty snarky and sassy in her videos imo. I used to eatch her regularly but stopped watching her after she made a video on BANG energydrink because I dunno she just seemed so mean in it

I'd initially liked her snarky comments on her vids, but like you, found some of her comments mean and throughly off-putting.
I shrugged the first two or three mean comments off as everyone's allowed to have a bad day etc, but her increasingly negative attitude in public drove me away before all the drama hit the fan. I wonder if the mean comments were some of the few original insights she added to her videos. 😂
You should expect that, people who act all innocent and chill on the internet are usually the most vicious.
I only watched one video of hers, and it was about autism speaks, and I thought it was a good video. A few days later, I saw the stuff she did from other videos. I'm shocked

What's so insane about this is that Blair might have genuinely believed that Legal Eagle was "copying" her editing style because it's something that she'd been doing for years to other youtubers. It's like that saying, "one who uses poison always supsects to be poisoned themselves".

The fucked up women that do shit like that completely depend on the dude not wanting to be embarrassed. I've been in the situation myself. Fortunately I didn't have much of a saving when I met her, so she was only able to steal and manipulate my earnings for the time I was with her. Sucked starting over yet again (after 40 too) but when it finally ended I still had a roof over my head (plus all my friends and family, unlike her) while she was/still is living out of a backpack and basically doing whatever it takes to get her next meth fix (going on 2 fuckin years now). She still thinks she can con me, not realizing i've purposefully stayed silent when she inevitably hits me up every 4-5 months "thinking about me".

I used to watch Blair way back when I was around 13/14. She actually used to make reddit content similar to channels like 'The Click' and 'EmKay', Both of whom she formed a channel with called 'Sad Milk'. Sad Milk however, along with all of her reddit content, was deleted. I was confused at the time and after some digging I found out that apparently, she had actually not only deleted the reddit content on her channel to focus on MLM stuff, but she'd also deleted ALL of Sad Milk's videos without even talking about it to the other creators she shared the channels with. That seemed kinda sketchy to me, so I tuned out of her content since then.
This whole situation is like that domino meme, with the smallest piece being "picking a twitter fight over highlighter effects" and the last being all the abusive toxic shit, what just surfaced.

If she had just said, "sorry, I was having bad day, that was unwarranted of me and I'm sorry" this might have never happened. She keeps doubling down and otherwise, ignoring everything, hoping it'll blow over.
Yeah the audience she had would have probably forgiven her if she just apologized that time and admitted she made a error of judgment and whatnot. I know sometimes i make comments i regret making(i was angry when i said it how i did, i learned more information to change my mind, maybe i amped it up because i didnt wanna be reasonable to someone i felt was being an unreasonable twat, etc), but i dont have a following to be accountable to like she does. She fostered an audience who cares about justice, when she thought she fostered on cult of personality.
I love oz media and what she did to that man is absolutely deplorable, i hope when all is done she loses her channel tbh
It's mind-blowing that the ball got rolling on the end of Blair's career as a content creator because Blair just couldn't help but publicly make an ass out of herself, actually thinking that Legal Eagle had ripped off a freaking *wallpaper style* from her.
Not to armchair psychologize, but to me the stuff with LegalEagle, and then her awful "exposed" apology video (it was bad even by CZcams apology standards), suggests that while she can be highly manipulative and has no qualms about doing or supporting or BEING whatever will make her the most popular or successful (if the allegations from Oz Media and everyone are true), it seems like Blair also has a self-sabotaging tendency with these relationships, business or otherwise. Sooner or later, she's unable to resist blowing up her own spot and exposing her grift.

ETA: for everyone who doesn't understand what "dodged a bullet" means - it's an idiom. I'm saying I lucked out by not becoming super invested in her content just to be disappointed. I jumped ship before it started sinking. Use some critical thinking skills bois.
The same thing happened 2 me. i never would have expected Charlie 2 know who she is 😭
dodge a bullet? what does that mean? what threat did you get from watching videos
I no longer respect Charlie
He's become everything he's hated
You go for the easiest targets. If they're really friends they wouldn't out her like this...this is what happens when everyone you surround yourself with is a as loyal as a convincing argument. Charlie picks the easiest softest targets, he's literally going after a "mean girl" he's such a w u **. Legal eagle thing was her business. CZcamsrs outing each other is so snakey. If she did it right Charlie would be rooting for her. He has no loyalty and no unique thoughts. He's such a hypocrite, a lair, and he TRULY stands by nothing.. wow good prediction Charlie. An easy target, a bully, and a short litoe snivling coward with girl hair.. but you're down to earth.. whatever dude, you lost your way.. maybe you were never g** actor Micheal Douglas.
Charlie really makes me sad he used to be a cool dude now he's just a "CZcamsr" all his content is content and he believes in it as much as it'll be a good video. He's got no substance anymore. Just a good voice and the facade of a cool chill guy while being a weasel that'll stab you as soon as you're down or slip up. Don't be Charlie's friend, he'll be so disappointed and never expect anything as hainous as saying MEAN WORDS. like illumnaighti. Suddenly you're God, whatever Charlie. You've become the "nice guy" again. You're just rich and buff surrounded by yes men now.
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE ANAKIAN, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT THEM NOT BULLY LITTLE CZcams GIRLS WHO CRY AT VIDEOS LIKE THIS. LIKE CMON BRI SHES A GIRL, SHE GAVE THEM ALL JOBS. LIFE IS HARD, NOW BECAUSE OF HER WEASEL *FRIENDS" SHELL NEVER WORK IN YOURUBE AGAIN AND YOU DONT HELP. YOURE MONSTER YOULL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE CHARLIE, YOU COWARD. HER FRIENDS WILL TO, BET THEY GOT A NEW JOB WITH NEW CZcamsRS AND FORGIT ABOUT THEIR "FRIEND" IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS YOU ILLUMANUGHTI, DONT LET NO ONE HURT YOUR STRIDE. YOURE HUMAN, AND YOURE BAD TO THE BONE
Yea, I watch a lil CZcams.. make your own decisions Charlie, you showed a lot of kids how to.. now be a man and stop making videos.. make points.
Yes I'm trying to kill your channel Charlie, but don't worry . You can make ai videos later. Go f yourself Charlie. I at least respect you for not deleting comments. Oh but now justify jumping at this like a snake Charlie. Little short weasel. You'll never be anything close to a real man , always a little boy who's strong but against a REAL MAN you'd have to just kiss him that's your whole thing right, like a self aware defeat admitting beta who disguised it by saying he's "good at taking the loss" beta.
Wanna know how you know you're wrong Charlie? After reading this you couldn't make this video while looking her in the eyes because theirs nothing for you int it to standby. Easy target, bully because you can.. you're weak, you used to be strong.. but the crown ways heavy huh little prince..?GET ANGRY, DENY, SUBVERT.. We can all be kingss and queens, if we just learn to belieeeeve.. remember?

Hi there! Ex-Illumanaughti subscriber here.
I used to watch Illumanaughti until the shit that went down with her. Like, I was actively still subscribed to her when she put out her apology video.
Yeah, I know, yikes. And I was actually kinda still somewhat on her side, until I heard a personal account from another CZcamsr who I followed who laid all the allegations out as simple as possible.
It’s weird to be on that side of the drama as it happens.
I even got my dad into her channel (I just let him forget about it. Didn’t want to go into the *ever-growing* drama by explaining it).
Not just being on the side, but the fact that I was just going to passively accept some of that shit she did until another CZcamsr I did know spoke up. What was I *THINKING?!* Makes me laugh, honestly. With how blind I wanted to be to it all.
@@king-of-swing yeah, but it’s my copypasta from a covo with a friend.
Ive been watching you for the last 10 years of my life,i turn 20 in august and im so glad that i have your videos whenever im down or angry,my father died around the time i started watching you and your videos really helped me through it.whatever you do in the future just remember that your fans really do love you and we’ll all follow you through everything you do jack,love you man hope you see this❤️
i still find it hilarious that out of anyone to start drama with she decided to do it with a lawyer LOL
Blair: "I am afraid of NO ONE!"
Bold move Cotten we will see how this plays out
Not just that, she accused a copyright lawyer of plagiarism.
Sure, breaking copyright law and plagiarizing are two different things, but they're close enough that she should've known better.
@@whym6438 My theory is she either has a major superiority complex or she got away with screwing people over and treating everyone however she wanted for so long that she thought she was untouchable, which i guess is sort of a superiority complex but idk how else to explain it lol
bruh i loved her videos so much and when i heard about this drama i literally avoided it like the plague and unsubbed and never wanted to hear about it again cause it was so insane to me that someone who dedicated a whole CZcams channel to calling out greedy, evil corporations and people turned out to be... well... like that. trust no one
I cant understand how people are still surprised when youtubers get exposed for being nasty people
@@bironjames9948people like to believe they have good discernment of who is and isn’t a safe person. fear sets in when we realize we’ve been deceived by someone we trusted, because if we’ve been fooled once, it’s like ‘well who ELSE is deceiving me RIGHT NOW?’ trustworthy people are more likely to be deceived bc they often assume others will be as honest as them. it’s in their nature to trust. the hardest lesson for any of us to learn is that we can never fully trust even the people we are closest to, to be who they say they are. it’s a universal lesson.
Well, she's still making videos and deleting most of the call out comments.
I think she's also paying people or using bots to make positive comments on said videos
Thing is one of the only videos I've seen from her from years ago, she was calling out someone for behavior that had been skewed wildly out of context. She's always been the definition of subconscious projection. Never trust someone who spends too much energy talking about how much they hate *insert sin here*
Didn’t think anything would outshine the CreepShart cinematic universe then this happened
Picking a fight over copyright with LegalEagle is like turning to a gun fight with a water pistol. Dude is basically THE guy when it comes to CZcams law.
She hinted in one of the leaked discord chats that she already has a second channel. Wouldn't be at all surprised that there's another channel she owns and has hired someone for peanuts to read whatever script she's provided.
Thing is, folks already found that channel and are warning people
@@magenstaffarts that's very funny
@@magenstaffartswhat's the channel???
@@magenstaffartsplease tell us the channel
yup, Prism of the Past
I used to have a friend who acted practically identical to illuminaughtii in the way they acted and all of this (like people who i really look up to being horribly effected by her) just reminds me how narcissistic people like this must really be. To think that you have some sort of high horse in a situation were pretty much EVERYONE hates you is soo insufferable.
Guy below me saved my husband and kids.
But that's in the past. Your friend can't hurt you anymore. I'm here to protect you from vain and conceited women. Your digits, if you please.
@@Zenigundam yikes
@@Zenigundam Bruh
@@ZenigundamA for effort
The fact she gets to walk away from all the horrible and illegal shit she did to Oz and Wonder is downright evil.
Wonder deserves to have his suffering vindicated
and Oz deserves compensation for all the bs that she put him through during their relationship
I remember seeing the expose Click had about Illuminaughtii months ago. I had found his channel purely by chance and love the content, and had never heard of her before all of this. You can tell just how bad the situation was, especially when he got emotional toward the end because of *other* information that had come up that made the situation worse. I had someone that I disagreed with in a forum that I had banned, but never did I drag it outside of the confines of the various members who were affected. I could never imagine doing something like that to them. Worst I'll ever say is that we had a disagreement and she was banned for it.
I'm on the outside skirt of the Friend group she made this really horrible Video about (OT, Oz Media, TheClick, ect.). You didn't even cover the worst of her actions, like publicly talking about her friends suicide note and accusing another one of horrible crimes he didn't do in a desperate attempt to hurt their reputation.
I talked to her once and distanced myself immediately, because something was so off. I couldn't pinpoint it at the time, but now that I know I'm glad I did.
I wish nothing but the best to everyone else involved, but I hope she get's everything she deserves
Damn, that must have been something to trigger the red flags that fast. Hope the rest of the people involved are okay, love TheClick's stuff.
He said he would not cover most of it.
It’s not often a youtuber gets their career destroyed not by being some sort of pedo or completely scamming their audience. But by just being a plain and simple terrible person behind the scenes.
Well, yes, but plagiarism is also really bad
Not just a terrible person in general but she participated in everything her channe stood against regarding MLMs that's why her audience turned on her.
I don't think I've seen someone's reputation be so quickly and thoroughly destroyed since Creepshow Art
I Feel like the fact Charlie didn’t talk about HBomberGuy in this is criminal
I heard some ppl saying that HBomberGuy got some stuff wrong or something in his vid so that might be why?
We’ve seen white shirts, we’ve seen black shirts, but now the final boss, *the grey shirt*

@returnofghg911nobody likes you your channel is as valuable as the dust on the ground
@OFFICERJIMMYUTTPi dont even know what you are talking about but still nobody likes you and nobody will ever understand you
My favorite part about this situation is that Blair built her brand on talking about the awful things big brands and stuff do, and pretty much everything she's done flies in the face of the values she supposedly stood for. Sending love to Oz btw.
Not all the brands even deserved it, for some reason she made a video about the dodo being bad when it literally was some innocent mistakes and that was it.
Who is blair?
@@Vincent43746 the person behind the channel
@@Vincent43746 Blair is just illuminaughtii's actual name.
@@deepechoslntwntr yeah, I was playing dumb
She could have called out anyone, but it has to be a world championship level of arrogance to call out a well-known attorney for a verbal altercation.
this is where i get all my news from i havent seen this in awhile yo
It’s just wild to me just how vindictive and ill intended a lot of what she’s done has been. She just seems like a really mean and bitter person. Almost evil in how manipulative she is.
She is mean and evil. Remember some years ago I watched a live stream and never came back to her channel since...
For lulz, I really want her to reply here with something like, "Bruh, that AI bit is a genius idea!"
I mean she's emotionally and financially abused her past lovers. So yeah, just actually evil.
@@nickcariglio8228 financially abusing someone who’s supposed to trust you more than anyone is actually fucking crazy to me. Like emotional abuse is commonplace which sucks enough already but using them for money is actually insane.
There was a scene in Attack on Titan, where Armin tells everyone that he was able to deduce that the Female Titan was not like the feral ones, because it was able to kill people without eating them, and clarifying that wild titans only want to _eat_ humans, and that humans incidentally die in that process.
It's one thing that Illuminaughtii acts selfishly and ruthlessly advances her own position, but it's another level of vile entirely when she does so many actions for the sole purpose of hurting others. She had NO tactical advantage to gain from picking the fight with LegalEagle, for instance; it, like so many of her actions, was to placate her own ego and set it straight to all that even the people who work alongside her are below her.
The fact that she's still out to get OzMedia, is mind-blowing. The lawsuit looks fraudulent at best, frivolous at worst. I just hope she'll completely disappear off the platform and FINALLY leaves her victims alone!
You know the fight is over when Charlie enters the ring
Genuinely, got one of her videos recommended to me ages back, like, a subreddit read, maybe an r/aita or something... and I remember hearing her take on one of the situations and just immediately recoiling to her entire personality. It just... bothered me so deeply. I don't even remember what the hell it was she said or how she said it, I just remember I got such strong red flags from it, I just ignored the channel when it came back up.
And then she turned out to be like THAT.
Not only is LegalEagle a lawyer, I think he even specializes in copyright law. I could be wrong but I vaguely remember him saying that once
I've been around that specific group of content creators (Oz, OneTopic, Wonder, The Click) for.... Years. I've been subbed to Oz for the longest, since before he started calling his viewers 'Lovely Degenerates'. Blair deserves everything that's coming for her.
I'm friends with SaltyTheAlien and therefore know some of the others as well. The amount of shit that went on, especially behind closed doors is just horrible! I'm glad she finally get's what she deserves. I talked to her once and simply did not like her at all. I didn't know what it was at the time, but daaaaamn I'm glad my gut was right lol
I just hope you're not subscribed to turkey tom. AKA, the troll that got more popular instead of canceled
I found out about the illuminaughty stuff through the click! I watch him often

youre getting overwhelmed by the bots lol. i mean the likes theyve given you is acceptable enough.
She really thought it was a good idea to sue a LAWYER.
Well, if you've actually consulted legal counsel as to whether you had a valid reason to sue someone who is also a lawyer, then it's not really crazy. However throwing baseless accusations against a lawyer in public before you've consulted anyone about it is pretty stupid.
Fact
send prayers 👼👼👼 praise thy tommy parky! ❤ ❤ ❤
What i think is funny is that she tries to suppress it by turning off her comments.
"She brought piss to a poop fight" that is amazing. I am now using this consistently.
I used to watch her back when she made primarily MLM and informative content. What a fall from grace.
Nah you can't fall if you weren't honest to begin with. Good news is the info is good because she plagiarized some solid sources.
Fall from the grace of being a Reddit reading channel?
Keep in mind that she didn't write any of those videos herself. She plagiarised her content. So you weren't getting anything from her that you can't get better from somewhere else
I use to watch her too. I dont remember why I stopped, but glad I did
What’s mlm?
Legal Eagle has been a solid addition overall to the YT ecosystem.
Edit: Am not a bot, just a nerd working from home who caught the video super early lol. Oh I see, the comments are bots..

The hoover joke near the end of the vid sent me
Never heard of her, Moist is always introducing me to new people I wish I never knew!
LMAO😂 So true.
You've got to be living under a rock if you've never heard of her. Her scandal has been a big thing for months.
Same here. I mean her icon looks familiar, I was probably recommended either one of her vids of a vid about the stupid stuff she's done at some point. Or maybe someone references her once in a diff vid, that I had no context for. But yeah I missed all this too, you are not alone.
@@StillNotMarble I pretty much live under a rock
Charlie has the most basic clothing out of any human being, and I love it
Those are 2k shirts like what Zuckerberg wears
What is everyone else wearing to be so interested in how basic his wardrobe is???
Casual, like Joe Blow.
@@Kermit_E_FrogThis dude doesn't own any shirts with any sort of graphic print or design on front, literally all of his videos feature a blank white t shirt or a blank black t shirt
@@KarpetBurn At this point I feel like he probably does but it wouldn't be a logical step for his brand to throw one on
You know it’s serious when Charlie talks about it
Accusing a LAWYER was probably the worst fucking call to make
I love when Charlie says I'm sure you all know the issue already. I never have any idea these people even existed prior
hbomb and charlie both talking about illuminaughtii really is a death knell for her channel
I wish. Her views have honestly gone up since they’ve both put out videos on her. Her most recent video is already almost at 30 K less than a day, and there were times it would take her three or four days to get to that point.
I’m waiting for the updated SWOOP video myself
@@DarkemberandvioletThat’s during some massive drama, stuff like this kills growth. She’ll be gone in a year especially since the drama gets recommended from her videos.
I‘m from germany and even I had her in my algo, that’s crazy cause you more or less the only US-CZcamsr I watch.
It makes me feel bad that I enjoyed her video essays for so long there. *sigh* time to find a new MLM/Scheme video essay youtuber.
This whole situation, and Im surprised I havent seen anyone else point this out, is extremely reminiscent of the creepshowart situation. A rapid, massive, brutal downfall, exposing her as an actual monster
I remember that too.
Makes you wonder who else is one of those demons hiding behind a mask.
I've seen it pointed out repeatedly, and it's something I personally pointed out immediately. And everyone in the comment section, at first, was telling me how wrong I was, how much worse Shannon is. I disagreed then and I disagree now. I think they're equally evil, they just go about bringing their misery in different ways.
They even talk nearly identically. Smug and conceited.
Hundreds of people have pointed out the similarities. Maybe even thousands- you’re not the first.
@@yesterdayitrained oh okay. That's why I specified 'that I've seen' because I just haven't seen them yet
It’s so upsetting since I used to watch her religiously only for her to see her turn into this. It’s like what they say, ‘you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain’
I wouldn't say that because from what we know now it seems more like she always was a villain but she was just good at hiding it.
She has always been a villain lmao.
She's always been the definition of projection. I can't imagine how many people got hurt by what they did being taken out of context for one of her videos.
i still do
even though she sucks jts still nice background noise
separate the art from the artist i guess
@@ThePeashooter Please stop watching her and get different background noise.
Trying to start a legal fight with a lawyer is like someone who has only took one boxing class and wants to square up with Muhammed Ali
