    I challenged this individual about his lies regarding his health, alleged serious heart condition, on deaths door, the fact that he was never going to drink again - none of which have been proved to be true. It was solely for the sympathy vote & a narcissists typical modus operandi for getting attention.
    Be well Darren, hope life picks up for you again.

    Yes. Anyone with reasonable intellect knows who you are talking about! It is truly disappointing that people do such things to others especially one who is supposedly a friend! Glad you are building back your life after your job issues! You were always the straightforward one and the one that came across as sincere. All the best with the new channel, I will keep checking it out!

    Hi Darren,I haven’t watched (Him) for a long time now…Watching the videos of you two together,it looked on screen as though you were the best of mates..It’s sad that he chose to go down that route of making friends and then dismissing them.Yes he might have got you some new subscribers on your channel,but you can’t go on saying thank you.At least you have come on and explained what happened.Its up to the viewing public now isn’t it.Take care.

    Darren, whatever the situation I’m here for you! Not because someone brought me to you but because I like your videos. I’ve been drifting away from that “other channel” anyway because it’s becoming clear it’s not about the content just the views and also the stupid click bait insulting my intelligence. sometimes people pick people up and put them down when it suits them because they serve a purpose, you’ve served yours and now the next one is serving his. Take care mate I’m not going anywhere

    Quite right to address this and lay it to rest, Darren. You did well to rise above it for the past year and I think many clued up people read between the lines a long time ago and worked it out...and have since chosen whom to follow and not follow. Hopefully, this will clarify for those who were unaware or haven't 'put 2+2 together'. No point getting baited or engaging with a 'muck slinger'. Onwards and (authentically) upwards for you, Darren.

    Real true friends are hard to come by.. because i thought i had one through social media and we used to talk on the phone on many occasions and we were planning to meet up but i done something i shouldn't have and she turned her back on me and blocked me on everything.. real friends don't do that and because of that i don't trust no one no more.. like my late Dad used to say look after number ONE son and he was 💯 right I've learnt that now but shame i didn't listen to my Dad in the first place
