I have been thinking of trying thredup- for you I think I will definitely check it out!
I LOVE THREAD UP I’ve been using it for a month and I am literally obsessed. I find all my Nike gear at a fraction of the price in mint condition!
OMG 😳 I was 30 years old when this murder occurred in 1989. It was ALL OVER TV!! Thank goodness for me in 1987 my Mom purchased a franchise business for me in to run. So that kept me BUSY 7 days a week for approximately 120 hour weekly. I ran my business until 1996, so I didn’t have to see all of that mess on TV all the time. It got old really quickly. It was sad 😔 how they were killed, but the child rape part was difficult to hear. Times were different 30 years ago. Child abuse and rape wasn’t spoken about in the open like it is now. Things were just DIFFERENT 🤷🏽♀️
Congrats on ur sponsor!!!! So proud of u! 😘 I just thought of u yesterday and YAAAYYY new vid!!! Those butterfly 👀 #Beat
yes boo. yes I'm sure it happens in other countries but yeah.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when watching the first trial. prosecutors saying 'men can't be raped' and that maybe erik 'allowed the sexual abuse to happen.' like how could you ever say that to a victim?? erik n lyle were mocked for coming forward about the abuse and they rly didn't deserve any of this. their case makes me heartbroken. hope they can go home to their families one day.
disgusting... absolutely REVOLTING, what they said about allowing the abuse, etc.. my God. I can't imagine them saying that to a teenage girl. Maybe some prosecutors WOULD, I just think the outcry would be MASSIVE in such a case!
@Kea Lucky Yeah...even now....but with the Epstein cases...etc...things are finally starting to change . Now if they could only get them all locked up for good.
@Kea Lucky Damn straight!!
'men can't be raped' really now? what was happening to our black men during slavery? huh? tell me. these people are ridiculous!!! 🙄
💯
Not saying the boys were right for being mean to their mom but they probably had a lot of anger towards her as well for not intervening with their abuse...it kind of sounds like she really didn’t care
Yes it reminds me of the Bobby Debarge story on TV One, and how he sadly was being mean to his Mom yelling at her.. When it came to him confronting her about the abuse he and his siblings suffered from their Father.
Their mom told them every day she didn't want them!!!@ she never wanted kids !!!! She said that to them she wanted to be a model or actress so yes I do believe she allowed the abuse to happen to them because she hated them and never wanted them to begin with but her husband made her do it
On top of that; the person they were learning how to interact with the world from also treated her poorly.
Right before they killed them, the dad had told Eric to go to his bedroom and wait for him. After this Lyle turned to his mother and said something to the effect of "Are you going to let him do this?!?" And she responds by saying something like "That's the way it is in this family." So, I mean, I prolly woulda took her out too...
I agree with this. I feel like mother’s (and fathers) should protect there children but if mothers are also abused they just don’t they disconnect and ignore it all.
I just love how you insist "I wasn't there"... listen guys I wasn't there
Me too😂
Me three. It tickles me. 😂😂
Me four hahaha! She’s an amazing storyteller and very funny too 👍🏻✅☺️
We literally were not there
💯
I don’t remember where I heard this but I remember a psychologist saying that “our society rewards sociopathic behaviors” and I couldn’t agree more.
I heard that from a psychiatrist and it was about school. That's horrible. (This was not in the US, though).
@@thatsalt1560 “our society rewards sociopathic behaviors” basically everywhere in the world
@@Chittamama16 I think that's what was meant by society.
Just look at James Charles and all the other scandalous people out there getting rewarded by their platforms for sicko behavior
Capitalism rewards sociopathic behaviours. It’s just that American culture is inextricably tied to extreme capitalism, so it’s even more obvious.
This story is crazy bc it’s so much like my family. My grandparents moved to the US from Belize. My grandmother was beautiful and white passing so she made my grandpa look better in society. He was obsessed with this “perfect life”. he owned a successful business, made lots of money. But was abusing my grandmother. She was so badly abused that she couldn’t see he was abusing my mother from a small child to teen years. Only difference is my mom left at 16. So many families are destroyed by “fathers” like this. Thank you for making this video. It’s important for ppl to see what some people’s price for the “American Dream” is
Yes unfortunately this is a very common reality for people all around the world
I'm so sorry that your mother and grandmother went through that.
You are right about the sociopaths in high places. It’s been studied and researched, and CEO’s tend to have sociopathic traits
RIGHT, Presidents and Uber Wealthy people too 😳
Yep, otherwise they couldn't be up there... :/
Not an american thing just a elite power hungry thing. Abusing the children is also a trait, they learn to disassociate from the profane mouth breathers.
Important caveat here: Most sociopaths become CEOs. That’s not the same thing as most CEOs being sociopaths.
Just sayin’! 🤷🏻🙂
I like how she says “I wasn’t there” like it’s an insurance policy or disclaimer 😂
Let the record show! Cydnee WAS NOT THERE
I wasn’t
🤣
@@CydBee Hi cydnee, you should do asmr vids, love the sound of your voice, or asmr mukbangs, etc! ☺❤
their first trial had more corroborating evidence of abuse than most successful abuse cases. erik and lyle were so mentally underdeveloped and brainwashed from the abuse; they were taught to fear their parents their whole lives so its reasonable to believe they truly thought they were in danger the night of the killings. their case is so unfair. I hope they get justice.
That’s really sad because this case was all over the news with the headline ‘rich boys murder for inheritance’ with some text in the middle about them ‘claiming to have been abused.’
The 80s were trashy Boomer hell with this mixture of capitalism, the dream of the American dream, and the shitty layer underneath where bad people hid and (especially men) did their thing without worry of consequence. ‘Child abuse’ was still just ‘boys needed to be toughened up.’
@@gateauxq4604 Who taught you that HORSESHIT, commie?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@whatsyurprob158 I favor capitalism over most systems but what this person is saying is completely true. There was and still is a lot of corruption and just because one economic system was bad doesn’t mean capitalism doesn’t have its issues that still need to be corrected appropriately
@@CrystalLovesChrist Most of the American People of today don't know what "capitalism" even is.
'CREDITISM" hijacked the aforementioned back in the early 70's --- the two ARE NOT the same.
MISDIRECTION
The elite have been LYING about it since I was a child --- I remember the RARITY of seeing someone with a GOLD CARD, and only American Express offered them.
BankAmericard = VISA
Master Charge = Master Card
. . . and not just anyone could get one. Very scarce back when "Creditism" first started for the masses.
Stop knocking what you've never experienced --- and then define: "DECEIT"

They also had soooooo many witnesses who testified that they were indeed being abused. Their cousin’s testimony was one the saddest things I ever heard. He said one of the boys was so afraid to leave his room at night because his father would use that as an opportunity assault him, that he kept Tupperware under his bed and literally went to the bathroom inside of it and would empty it in the morning. Their tennis coach also witnessed them being physically and verbally abused many times, and Kitty’s own sister did too. The fact that the judge didn’t allow the abuse to be mentioned the second time around is so disgusting.
14:13 Lyle “bullying/molesting Erik” that you stated in the video was 100% Jose’s fault and only happened when they were little little kids not around the time of the murders. Jose told Lyle to bully and belittle Erik when they were children. Because Lyle thought that him having sex with his dad was normal, he also tried to touch Erik thinking that that was normal. All of this resulted in Erik and Lyle basically resenting each other. But this only happened for a short period of time until Erik was around 6-8 (I believe) and then Lyle started sticking up for him and taking the beatings/blame for stuff Erik did. Erik then idolized Lyle in an “unhealthy obsession” as family and friends say. Lyle protected Erik with his life which is why Erik telling Lyle that Jose was still doing this stuff was such a deal breaker to Lyle. It was bad to Lyle that Jose had been touching him, but when he found out that Jose had been touching Erik, that was Lyles done point. Lyle constantly told friends if anything happened to him, they need to help take care of his brother. Erik stated that if either of them were to die, he would rather himself die so Lyle could live. These brothers have the closest bond I have ever seen in the media from a non movie/show standpoint.
You are accurate that higher level business execs tend to be some of the worst, narcissist people around.
huge power does that to anybody
I feel like abusive people seek positions of power and privilege.
Power doesn’t always corrupt, but it does always reveal.
@Cat Aye *cough* all politicals *cough*
You have to be ruthless to succeed in that world.
Good example here!! My parents will have been married for 40 years next year! My mom retired when I was 4 and has been a housewife ever since. They still act like they’re kids giggling around the house 😂😂. It’s honestly the cutest thing 🥰💗
There is hope for humanity 😭
It was actually even worse. The mother sexually abused Lyle. Also, the mother knew what was happening to her son's and did nothing. Lyle sexually abused his younger brother Eric once acting out the abuse his father had done to him. Prior to the murder, the father would not allow Eric to live on campus for college and had to stay in the family home meaning the abuse would continue and Eric was desperate for it to end. Eric told his older brother Lyle that the abuse was still happening (Lyle had previously threatened his father and scared the crap out of him to make sure Eric wasn't abused).
The two brothers are now in the same prison and doing relatively well all things considered. Sadly, Eric found prison safer and a better life than the one he had known before with his parents.
There’s so much false info in this video it’s unreal
@@lilyst0374 please elaborate. Fact checking is very important.
@@yadsewnde I found a video of the court testimony confirming that their mother sexualy abused Eric :( and there was also a quote of her saying something along the lines of "you think I don't know what your father has been doing to you?" Disgusting woman

@@oszaszi I love Eleanor’s accent!
Something you didn’t mention Cydnee: Eric and Lyle were in the same prisons for a while and then sent to different prisons for years. I could be wrong on this but I believe Eric and Lyle are in the same prisons now. Eric and Lyle also both got married while in prison.
Your right about them being together now but for 22 years they were in separate prisons. They were reunited in 2018 at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.
I remember hearing the press call it the “abuse excuse” and it sickened me. They had soooooo many witnesses who testified that they were indeed being abused. Their cousin’s testimony was one the saddest things I ever heard. He said one of the boys was so afraid to leave his room at night because his father would use that as an opportunity sexually assault him, that he kept Tupperware under his bed and literally went to the bathroom inside of it and would empty it in the morning. Their tennis coach also witnessed them being physically and verbally abused many times, and Kitty’s own sister did too and she testified on behalf of the boys. Her own sister. The fact that the judge didn’t allow the abuse to be mentioned the second time around is so disgusting.
Yep. The press convicted them
I strive to be as petty as the mistress that handed the tapes over 🧚.
LOL
Interestingly, in this whole story, that mistress was the one person who ultimately made the morally right decision.
Yassssss Sis, yasssss! Why doesn't this comment have 10 Million likes?!
@@Llamanescent - I doubt morals had anything to do with her decision. This level of pettiness goes WAY beyond morals. But, yes, isn't very ironic as well as entertaining.
@@Llamanescent all she did was further hurt those young men...when she was pissed at her damn lover!! Wtf
Give them hardcore therapy and let them off. Being in a family like that with a dad like that, what else do you do? That’s insane and I am so sorry for their upbringing. Running away isn’t an option with a psycho father.
Plus if you consider the time period, there were zero safe options for children that were being abused or women. It was a terrible time for social service resources, centers etc.
Also they don't seem like a threat to society just their parents
Ha when she said "he was employed as a dish washer" I thought of the machine 😂 and I was so confused
Lmao first world conclusions
Same... I was frowning like wtf. A dishwasher??
This case always has me so torn. Idk what the truth is, but as a survivor of childhood SA, the moment they claimed abuse, I started believing them. I just hope they aren't lying about it because that makes it so much harder for actual SA victims to be taken seriously.
how many other victims of abuse grow up and don't harm other people? at a certain point, you no longer get to say that being a CSA survivor is an excuse for being a terrible person.
@@foxbuns i feel like harming other people or harming your abuser that still abuses one of the brothers because it seems like the only escape are two different things
So sorry to hear that you went through something so horrible! Hope that you are doing the best you can during these trying times. My case with SA has been over and done with but I also hope that they weren’t lying.
@@foxbuns yea, that's 100% true. They are terrible for murdering their parents. I guess I am saying I sympathize with them somewhat. Take it how you will, but I definitely fantasized about killing my abuser. He's still alive and kicking. Breathing air I do not feel he deserves. Using his free will in the worst way possible. He abused multiple young girls after me. So sometimes I wish I could have gotten to him before he would hurt others. That's why my view may differ from others. My own experiences mold my train of thought. Is it right to feel this way? Probably not. Can I control it? Not without intensive help. Will I be able to identify when I need help? That's not likely given how often these types of mental breaks happen. For them, yes help was available, or at the very least COULD have been available had they seeked it out. Most don't have that luxury. Many people have no way (nor funds) to seek out help when needed. 🤷♀️ It definitely sucks and ruins many lives, not just the ones abused.
@@Ashley-Lopez I'm actually doing pretty good lately. Some days are worse than others, but still even after 29 years, I'm learning better ways to cope. Thanks so much. I hope you are doing well too.💚💚💚
I SPOKE THIS INTO EXISTENCE! Yesterday, I was thinking Cydnee needs to post a make up and history. Today, Cydnee posts! 😂
same!
SAME. I was like... "It's about that time"
Can you manifest something for me too 🤣😂🏃🏽♀️
She resented her boys because she wanted a career and was unhappy. He was a awful human being. They were abused and I completely believe it. As a first generation immigrant and a sexual abuse survivor, I can sympathize with them. Even Kitty, I understand depression but I can’t sympathize with looking the other way when your spouse abuses your children. I think they endured so much trauma that they had enough and were convinced that their parents were going to do something to them because that are afraid. There were several signs of abuse. I think they have served enough time. Im glad they are together now but I hope they’ll be out soon.
Duh. Anyone who listens to them. At trial could tell. Cmon
My momma has always told me that I gotta make my own money and be financially independent. Always gotta make sure you got money hidden somewhere in case things go south. I literally could not fathom trusting a man enough to depend on them financially, but I am glad that it has worked out for some people in the comments.
exactly!! having a violent father whose divorce from my mother didn't really affect us too much financially due to my mother's financial independence, i could never trust a man enough to rely on him! in so many cases like my mother's, things have ended up significantly worse due to financial dependence. so many women are afraid to even divorce their abusive husbands because of that fear of the unknown - prioritising their financial survival over any emotional or physical wellbeing. who knows where i or my mother would be if she wasn't self-sufficient.
Hell yes! Give my girl all the sponsors! I love learning about all these impo news stories that I definitely wasn't paying attention to when I was a kid.
Agreed Cyndi , The DSM chart created by the Global Psychiatrists Community states that Most CEO, Presidents and Wealthy people fall somewhere on the DSM charts 🤷🏽♀️🥺
ALWAYS excited when you upload Cydnee BUT please don't ever feel guilty to take a break!! 💛💛
I want to know what happened to the therapist. Was he held accountable for the extortion and blackmailing to the kids? He should be in jail right along with them.
I just googled him and he had also been accused of having sex with female patients. This guy is nuts and he lost his license and he no longer practices psychology and no longer lives in California anymore.
@@queentemitayo Im sure hes still practicing where ever he is, ethics isnt the thing that he holds dear
@@Apryll. He hasn’t practiced since the whole incident
Oziel lost his license
Yeah that was fucked up
I feel so bad for the brothers, I do feel a little better that they are able to see each other now. It was sad to hear Erik say that he felt a bit more happier in jail than at home, but I completely understand why he would be more happier in jail than at home with all the things that went on. I hope Erik and Lyle are released soon.
I truly believe that power in business parallels power in highschool. The bullies attract people around them who want to keep their enemies closer, and don’t want to call the bullies out on their bad behavior. The same is true with politics, and those who pull shady tactics are feared but seldom called out.
You did such a good job covering this!! Love that you discussed the abuse their father committed without portraying the brothers as having made everything up in order to get away with murder.
Here’s a couple extra nuggets of info on this case if anyone is interested:
- Their mother 100% knew about the abuse and actually abused the boys herself (though not sexually)
- Their cousins/family friends testified at the first trial to having witnessed abuse at their home, and that they had disclosed the abuse to them as children
- The older brother wore a toupee bc he started going bald at 14 due to overwhelming stress
I don’t understand how/why the abuse was allowed to be banned from the second trial? Like that was a big chunk of their motive
@Anna Marie I actually looked into this after I saw your comment, and I’d like to issue a correction. She *definitely* sexually abused Lyle, and the details were really grim 😬
@@michelleb.514 If you want to get an idea of the public’s opinion of their testimony, you should lookup the snl skit making fun of the first trial - imo it aged like milk
but yeah, the media was like, pshh look at these greedy little liars who got caught and came up with an elaborate gross lie, and I can’t imagine that the news coverage didn’t undermine their credibility to a lot of people
TWO videos in a week?? And an hour before my lecture? Feeling blessed today😭🤍
omg sammeeee
Omg I just said this today!!! In the US we seem to loveeee people that suck and step on everyone else to get on top ! It’s annoying that nice people are bullied. And I know it’s just a joke, but the idea of making fun of someone for “being a simp” also makes me sad, we should be able to all simp proudly 😂
Not just US.Here in Kenya too.
I've noticed that term "simp" being thrown around lately & it just makes me sick. It's a bastardization of an archaic word- simpering ("affectedly coy or ingratiating")- but it's become so toxic the way it's used now. Bullying is no joke.
@@anniethenonnymouse, YESSS!!! Like I get that sometimes 'simping' can get to far & turn into stalking. But for the most part simping is people either being kind, or simply showing human decency. Like I was on insta once & this guy was posting about his breakup, & wishing his ex the best & wishing her well. Then this random guy in the comments was bulling him for "simping." Even though the guy who originally posted the picture wasn't simping he was just being a decent human. I don't like the whole culture of "you HAVE to hate your ex😤" because that toxic in general, it's especially toxic when your didn't do anything wrong to you, & it ended in pretty good terms. Plus why would you hate them or call them names, you dated them.
Omg yay!!! Have missed these SO MUUUCH!!!
Thank you for retelling the story because I thought that they killed their parents for their inheritance as well. I never heard anything about the abuse or the further abuse by the therapist being greedy extorting them for money. This is just a sad story all the way around. The news media did not reported accurately back when it happened
Yeah does the media ever repot anything accurately??!
You're SO GOOD at storytelling. Well done Cydnee!
"Do you think America rewards assholes?" Well... Trump became the freaking president
Exactly I always say this
True
I was thinking of Biden when she said that
@@alejandradiez8388
What’s your opinion on Trump?
Assholes rise to the top no matter where in the world. Look at Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, the Kim family in North Korea, and any number of historical dictators. If there are no checks and balances, it's even more likely.
I was thinking “this reminds me of Gypsy and DeeDee” then you said the same thing.💀
Me too 😂😂
Yep me too
The fact that they just waited for police tells you that they just wanted everything to be over, I don't judge them for doing what they did those parents where horrible, I just wish they would have had someone good I'm there life to stop them and help them before anything happened.
But they did, which is what makes it so heartbreaking!!! All the teachers, friends, neighbors, coaches, and family who noticed how broken those boys were and how awful their parents were, and nobody did anything!! Nobody defended them from Jose!
Me :) Been married for 10 years, stay-at-home mom, my husband loves me more now than ever. I'm going back to school in the Fall, I had my own sewing business for some time, but the clientele was way too rude and it was too much for me and killing my passion. I used to train and do weightlifting, will go back soon as this covid situation goes down a bit, or we're looking into a home gym eventually. We're also looking into starting a tutoring business for kids and adults in our community.
But I get what you mean, in many cases, it is a trap... not all, but certain situations and circumstances are fishy.
You are lucky. My sister wasn’t 😢 It is happening to her as I write this.
Honestly so disappointing that it had to come to that conclusion... where were family/friends/teachers? Shouldn't someone have been able to notice behaviors of an abused child?
It's a REALLY hard thing to get right. My therapist told me that many times when adults do notice abuse, they choose not to report it bc the foster system is so broken that they might be better off with the parents. It seems likely to me that, knowing the boys were at least financially taken care of and not knowing the extent of the abuse, teachers etc. Chose to just keep quiet.
@@carameldare hmm I never considered financial safety to be a reason for silence.. That's interesting! I guess it depends on the person/what they deem to be more important, financial security or emotional wellbeing..
@@yemanemelen well, the idea being that within the foster care children can end up separated from their siblings, in situations where financial support is largely withheld from them, and they may face physical or sexual abuse. Our foster care system is fucked and often responsibme adults may see being with their siblings, financially secure, and "only beaten" (or something) as better than being in a situation with multiple downsides
@@carameldare Definitely! I just feel that decision shouldn't be up to just one individual or body, their should be a team of adults in a students support system vs just one social worker/etc.
@@yemanemelen 100%. The whole thing is so sad.
"I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde
And speaking of Oscar Wilde, you might like to do a video on his case one day. He's fascinating!
Fascinating, yes but also I think people look at Oscar Wilde through rose tinted glasses. He was very abusive towards his wife and children in pursuit of his “bohemian lifestyle” and treated them horridly.
Love you Cydnee 🥰🥰 BTW I stay home with my boys while my husband is air force. He is a wonderful man, and has always been caring and supportive. We both decided for me to be home, and it's been the right decision for us. So often it is a manipulative and controlling tactic, but sometimes it really is a good thing
I got as far as "THIS is MY toupee! 🥴. ......sorry." and BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 💀
The first one...in the intro..
Lady toupees and man wigs ha ha
I definitely think they intended to kill them on that boat trip. I can't say I'd plan out my parents' murder instead as the boys did, but yet, I may have, given their father's money and influence. It's a tough one. I think they've served enough time, honestly. Especially if the sexual abuse is true, which I believe it is.
I feel like the poor men needed therapy not a prison sentence. It’s all so fucked man 😞
erik and lyle also always had a very close relationship, lyle would protect erik and even take beatings for him. so they always loved and cared about each other deeply.
I really appreciate this series. The story pulls you in and the makeup makes it better.
I don’t think it’s just an American thing, i think it’s the natural result of pursuing the egos desires at all costs. You see it everywhere in the world, people who are greedy and power hungry and are willing to do anything typically make it to the top, but they sacrifice their soul along the way.
As well as everyone around them
I think the overexposure/ridicule in the media is something very American
Yes it is.
I was 14 when this happened and I just remember how much these boys were ridiculed by the media. They were portrayed as spoiled rich kids who killed their parents for not getting their way. As I got older, I learned how incredibly sad this story really was 😔 Another AWESOME Makeup and History! And by the way, this eye look is STUNNING!
Love this story & the dr's mistress was also his patient. Everyone is mad shady. I don't think we will ever know the truth.
Really? Huh it’s all out there. Generational incest in family fact. Dad watched porn movies with kids fact. Dad took pics of boys genitals fact. Dad molested boys sometimes brutally with objects fact. Only thing question is did they have to kill? Did they report try to run? I dunno
I remember hearing about this case when I was about 11, and I remember hearing that it was all for the parents money. The sexual abuse is new to me 🫢 The dad was definitely F’d up in the head. The whole ridiculing your son for possibly being gay, but then you’re m*****ing him at the same time 🤦🏾♀️😡
What's m****ing
@@christina4012 molesting.... didn’t want to spell it out bc I had seen other people censoring triggering words on here.
What’s so sad is that everyone says this. 🥺 the media wanted to make it as scandalous as possible instead of telling the whole truth
A 12 gauge shotgun is a very standard home defense weapon, probably the least suspicious weapon they could have purchased. As far as travelling to another location to purchase, I think california has some really strict gun laws (not sure if this was true back then) but it might have been necessary to travel in order to obtain the guns (or maybe they were pretty well known in the area and just didn't want to start any more rumors 🤷)
12 gauge is pretty basic.
Honestly I feel like it was bullshit that in the 2nd trial the judge didn’t let them talk about the sexual abuse! That’s a big detail in the case! Especially since it happened since they were children! I’m not saying I’m on their side or anything I just sympathize with them. Rape causes a lot of mental damage and I can’t imagine it happening by your own parent!
True. That was their only defense, and the judge took it away from them. They had so much evidence and so many witnesses ready to testify
CYDNEEEEEEEEE oh my gawds I've missed these videos, but I'm glad you've been focusing on you.
Also I definitely think you're onto something where American culture in particular (Western culture, largely) awards people for being utterly ruthless.
I can't wait to see you collaborate with a major makeup brand. You deserve it girl. ❤️
When Cydnee said “are you sad at the world that things like this happen..” My first thought was absolutely😕
Not that killing is ever okay, because it's not. The sad part is the way you treat your children or people (physically or mentally) can have consequences.
No disrespect to Lil Kim or Nicki Minaj but you are the ultimate black barbie 😍 you're so beautiful it's unreal. Your man is very lucky, there's not a huge amount of really stunning women who are also funny and intelligent. There's plenty of beautiful, intelligent women about, don't get me wrong but I'm talking about stunningly beautiful, successful, independent and intelligent women. Especially if they're a nice, kind person aswell, which it seems you are then he's struck gold.
Showed her Joseph Goebbles video to my Dad(a history major/teacher) and asked what did you think, his response:
"She's gorgeous" lol
I think people reward people they’re scared of so they don’t get in their way 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve never thought of it this way
@@CydBee if he was my boss I’d be sure to be far away as possible I could totally see him just getting money cuz people are too scared to do better
The pink eyeshadow is giving me flashbacks to the lipstick Tik tok hack video. The pink is such a flattering color!
I think the “assholes” are successful because they drive the businesses they are promoted in. A feared person is going to get answers and make sure things are getting done. It’s unfortunate but it’s definitely a trend
Yes the success is linked to specific personality traits! Narcissism and psychopathic personalities are more successful in business
I think it's important to note that they had 2 years to prepare for this trial and had access to many psychology books. It was said in a Podcast that their stories was eerily similar to that of serial killers.
Well that’s because a lot of them happen to be abused as children. The menendez brothers are no where near comparable to serial killers though. And there was a bunch of evidence; over 50+ witness testimonies, photographs, a letter recently found that was sent years before they killed their parents from erik to his one cousin.
@@horrorhistory7342 They sensationalized themselves and lied because they knew it would be convincing. As cutthroat and terrible as their Dad. Paul Mones, a lawyer of theirs, literally wrote a handbook for getting children out of murder charges, and accounts from other people in this book are extremely similar in detail to the accounts of the brothers, in some cases only slightly tweaked. I don't doubt the stories were real...they just didn't belong to those terrible brothers. But nobody deserves to be ridiculed for coming out about abuse, whether they made it up or not. As for the testimony....lol. Money. Gravy train stops if the public doesn't buy it.
Your storytelling skills are excellent! I love how you demonstrate how you apply your makeup while talking about various topics. It’s like you are at my kitchen table chit chatting about things😇! Like a good friend 😂
Yahshua bless & keep you🌹
I have specifically been looking for another channel like Hayley Elizabeth’s where she talks about stuff like this but also does her make up and I had not be able to find one until now. Will be subscribing immediately
I'm older and didn't know about the abuse. Just remembering the brothers being characterized as spoiled rich kids. Ugh. Thanks for context
So exciting when you have a new story. Got 🍿 and got myself confi to watch
You had me at “man wig” 🤣
I’m soooooooo glad your back with these episodes..... love them keep it up 👍
I never want young people or anyone to be abused, especially by people who are supposed to love you. However, just leave, you will lose the money and the life style but gain freedom and happiness. Hope they are getting real therapy and healing.
It isn’t easy to just leave no matter how much money you have.
Get SO excited when I see another Makeup and History upload. Thanks for the hard work. Great job!
The problem isn’t being a stay-at-home wife, the problem is the husband being a jerk and leaving her.
I think she means when the woman has specific career aspirations and the man is very persuasive/pushy (based on context)
It takes a lot of trust to be a stay at home mom because you’re losing years of work skills and finances. If anything were to happen in the marriage the woman wouldn’t have societal power and that makes for a very imbalanced dynamic. It works for a lot of people but for many many women it makes them too vulnerable
I subscribed to your channel few days ago as it speaks of my favorite moments in history stories (Geek) and I love how you incorporate them with your makeup tutorials (GENIUS).
It's 4:22pm here in South Africa and I've been binge watching your videos the entire day and there, I got a Bonus with this video. Thank you for these awesome quality videos. Keep it up. I'm your South African fan and CZcamsr🤘🏾
Lowkey if the abuse is true they shouldn't be in jail lol
highkey
I personally believe they still should be , at the time they killed there parents they could have left lets be real.. and they still murdered someone cold blooded.
* they were grown men @ the time they killed there parents.
Nah set them free, if it’s true. There are cold-blooded killers getting out of being in jail everyday and some of them are police officers. The brothers should be allowed probation at least if they killed their clearly abusive father. Plus the court did everything they could to find them guilty because “boys can’t be sexually abused”, they were not given a fair trial at all.
@@camdenhunt7565 i dont even believe they were sexually abused .. is there any proof of that ?? That was just in my opinion a defense made up by their lawyer.
I’m an example it’s not a trap! But I know my story may be a rarity. I’m lucky. This is a very intriguing story though and I remember the original coverage well.
Same
My parents are an example it’s not a trap, my grandparents too. And I’m home with my little one, because it was a mutual decision and we are all very happy with the decision. ❤️
Its not really a rarity.
Makeup & History is the best! Cannot wait to listen ^__^
I remember this tragic story and the trials. You, once again, did a great job Cydnee. Thank you.
Please do Jim Jones! Or his mistresses... 👀
Stephanie harlowe has videos about this but it is a multi part series.
*whispers* "don't be fake - do it" ... so cute! scary story about those boys, but told in your own fabulous way. Thanks!
Girl where’d you buy your “toupee“ from! I’m tryna see something😂🤣😂
No really her hair is always giving scalp!
Yay!! I just recently found your channel and it is awesome!! Don’t stop making content!!
I was going through withdrawals 😱 LOL
WELCOME BACK !!! We missed you!🥰🥰
Cydnee, you are right girl. I learned in my psychology class that people who are successful business men in America usually have traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and machevellianism
And this is specific to the US!
Finally!! I missed you SO MUCH
At 9:58 - When I was studying for my bachelors in psychology, there was something said that people that are in top management, ceo, etc & such these people have strong narcissistic personality traits .
Yay another makeup & history!! I love this series!💕
Watching u blush our eyebrows for 30 mins coz ur so invested in the story😂😂😂am like she is caught in a loop here
omg I've never been this early !!! CYDNEE IF YOU SEE THIS I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS ❤️
Lol, I need you to sing 'Makeup&History', it's just not the same without you singing it 💕
I'm early for once love you cyd🥰 this should be interesting wait did you even sing the intro?😔 Phew she sang a little bit
Not me binge watching all your videos 😭💕 I’ve watched most stories before but you explain them so well & keep it fun ✨
"are you sad?" Me immediately: yes Cydnee
Two videos in a week Cyd? 😍🥰 It’s not even my birthday! 🤩
That Midsummer top makes your eyes POP 😍
Well, I found you today and I can't stop watching your videos. You're amazing! I love the way you tell these scandals and crimes, and your make-up is always gorgeous!
I don't think being a full time care giver is usually intended as a trap - sadly many times it's the only option since childcare isn't always available or affordable.
But I will say I highly recommend that all full time care givers (SAHM) keep a current and solid resume at hand based on the crazy skill it takes to keep tiny humans alive. Also, keep credit in your maiden name and if you can volunteer places to keep your resume flush with references you'll be ready in case you lose your partner. Death happens too...
So off topic but Cydnee i would love to see you do a Makeup and History vid about the life Tina Turner, i find her very strong with her personal life, and such an imapct on the music industry.
You have got to cover the Betty Broderick story at some point... It's definitely a conversation piece
I second this
Can you please post more consistently?? I Love your vibe and your so pretty and I love learning from you!!
Best history teacher EVER!!!!!!!!💞💞
Thank you for sharing this 🌟 I love how you tell stories 🌟 I love how you brought up how society rewards bad people by saying that “ nice guys finish last “ like being good is bad...
