UPDATE. JIMMY WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY BY THE JURY.
Really? How did you find out?
He ate so bad omg
Please link us to however you found that out. I’m very surprised to hear he had a jury trial. They normally force poor people to take plea agreements. It sounded like his public defender was actively avoiding him and I’m sure it’s because he planned on forcing him to take a plea agreement, so there’s no point gathering evidence to work towards a trial. So Jimmy must have found some money to get his own attorney.
omg?! please share the last name so I can look into it!!
Also, does anyone know if Rebecca was able to get to Coachella like she wanted? I really wanna know….? Or did the tickets go to waste?
Jimmy sounds like the sane and stable version of Rebecca, i see why theyre friends.
😂 in Rebecca's last few interviews Mark asked Rebecca why don't you hang out with Jimmy. Rebecca' saw through his bullshit. Jimmy dressed up as Rebecca for this interview, knowing we all were interested in her this way. Some people are so gulable
Soo true‼️‼️
They even look alike.
Sounds like! That break in story, flooding the jail to get out ... sound pretty much like there is a MUCH different version of this person.
He didn’t dress up as Rebecca why because he’s blonde i don’t think he’s trying to be anyone but himself he seems like a nice guy
"Drugs are not the problem. The problem is why you do drugs" Lots of truth there
It’s mental illness duh. Not hard to figure out,
Addiction is still the issue
I mean it’s common sense but I guess that it is not so common
@@benblyth3219you’d think so
I have one brother in prison for meth. Another is a heroine addict. My sister is a former prostitute and recovering addict. I’m a college educated engineer who has never done drugs in my life. They dealt with trauma by drugs. I dealt with it with education and work. But we grew up with the same problems
Let’s give it up for a friend who refuses to be baited into bringing a friend down!! The class and respect Jimmy showed through this interview (specifically towards Rebecca) was something we can all learn from. Love the energy!
Loyal friend. He made it clear he wasn't about to gossip about Rbecca
Yesss I was like aye that's a good friend
Yes.
I almost thought Mark got him into the studio for a sh** talking session.
@@bulletsxdameI don’t think that for one second- we all are curious about Rebecca’s friend jimmy and this was a perfect introduction.
Good luck to jimmy. Jimmy is going to be just fine !
@@lakepal7912 I don't think Jimmy knows Rebbeca, except through reputation alone.
Jimmy is the one who deserves all the help mark has given to Rebecca. He genuinely wants a good life. He is smart, well spoken, and has a good head on his shoulders. I wish you all the best, Jimmy. ❤
I don't think Jinmy needs the help the same way.
Exactly isn’t that crazy but I guess it’s more of a project for him to help Rebecca then Jimmy. Rebbeca because of being so out of control and soo interesting she is a gold mind when it comes to utube views but I believe it’s not why he’s continuously trying to help her …. I think he’d love to see Rebecca sober and a fashion designer because he does love her deep down inside after all these 4yrs
Agree 100%
I hope jimmy finds a way out of his problems, his lovely dog 🐕 needs him to😊
My thoughts too❤
I think Jimmy deserves a better title than just ‘Rebecca’s Friend’
Disagree. That was the reason I watched the video.
It wouldn’t bring in as many views and it’s all about the views not these poor deluded people
It's a pretty indetifying feature of the channel
That's what brings in the viewers.....Mark knows what he's doing...
.. and it is the context of the meeting.
I was a little bit disappointed with some of the things Mark said and asked in this interview. Jimmy deserved better representation. Jimmy if you ever read this, please know that I diligently listened to you throughout this whole interview. Rebecca was a side note. You are a beautiful, well spoken and you have your own story. I pray that you will find peace and stability. My heart goes out to you
Rewatch it with softer eyes.
@@MrNobodywatching the Internet has done well giving societal rejects, you, a voice.
Agreed. Very poorly treated.
That’s how I feel about most of Mark’s interviews. He tends to be very dismissive and frames his questions in a judgemental or presumptuous way.
@@jojo444ism really? maybe its just how you see it, like, we ALL are different , different minds maybe you would ask different questions and mark asks different ones bc well we are all different, maybe thats what it is
His face bone structure, is out of this world...Stunning...
It’s jaw filler 😂
I think Jimmy could be a fashion model. He should look into it.
@@cmarz2733 definitely fashion model vibe. However, he would have to sell his soul to get anywhere.
I couldn’t get past the manhandling and aggressive attitude towards his poor dog. Good lord! He manhandles that dog like Rebecca does with her clothing.
With housing you pay 30 percent of your income. In my opinion Jimmy didn't want to answer the question of rent because then people would know his income. And that's his business. Same with how he makes his money. He's smart in dodging those questions so he doesn't lose the roof over his head. It can be a precarious situation.
yes,then people who provide housing would know he isn't claiming all of his income.If they are paying for his housing the money is coming from his base income/government benefits welfare.
To pay 1,500 dollars and you live on skid row is shocking 😱
@kdeloris2225 Jimmy is beautiful, intelligent. I hope he pulls through this graze with his legal issues Mark was right to try and guide him on what he said. The lawyers search info out to make their case. Hopefully his legal name is different than the one he uses.
I completely agree. Mark prying on certain issues doesn't sit well with me. When people are pushed they get clearly uncomfortable. They are under no obligation what so ever to give certain details and don't need to be treated like liars for not divulging.
Or maybe he doesn’t know because he has a sugar daddy…
"Drugs aren't the problem, the reason why you do drugs are the problem." SO TRUE. You can focus on sobriety/abstinence all you want, the underlying issues need to be addressed.
Not quite.
Most of us have some kind of trauma in our past .. and plenty of people have really serious trauma in their past .. yet they don't become addicts. Global studies prove that fact, emphatically. Even people who've been subjected to the worst deprivations mankind can visit (eg brutal wars) topped by things like starvation etc, manage to get through life without becoming addicts or dysfunctional. They may have some minor personality quirks, but they function. They maintain intact families, go to work, pay the bills, put food on the table, and retain the respect of their communities.
The addiction and dysfunction we see in these interviewees is almost entirely a result of disinterested, self-indulgent parents. It's a very specific kind of parenting failure - a type that primarily happens in the richest first world societies.
Those people mentioned above .. who experience arguably much greater traumas but remain functional and intact - are the product of high quality parenting. Good parenting builds resilience. Such people are born into terrible circumstances .. deep poverty, war, etc .. yet have stable, focused, supportive parents who model diligence and self-discipline. That's the root of it all.
Amen!
Not true, some people just do it to get high. So drugs are the problem
I hear ya. Not everyone is wired the same. Doesn't change the fact this guy has 0 sense of accountability.
@@pm2886100%
This video should be renamed. Jimmy is his own person and not just a subsidiary of Rebecca.
Yes!
Agreed 100000%
It's titled like that because they are talking about Rebecca. If the interview would be about him, I am sure Mark would name it different. And it also happened, he has update on Jimmy now.
Pointless comment
@@Obiamajoyisrmd ha!
The anxiety can be felt through the screen. This video does not even begin to tell his whole story but his body language and the way he is using his dog for comfort is enough to show that he is going through a lot.
You only have to listen for a few minutes to know the poor guy is deluded to the max and that’s without the body language - he’s completely gone
@@autumn5852 What do you mean? He's speaking cohesively throughout the entire video, just seems a bit anxious.
@@autumn5852 I disagree. He is well spoken.
@@mc2043 I agree, he is very well spoken, but he’s also seriously deluded. He’s living in survival mode, which is no doubt essential for where he’s living. I seriously hope he gets help.
oh my gosh i thought i was the only one to notice !! i got anxious watching him . i hope to God what ever he is facing he gets through
You become like your abuser when you don't heal from your trauma. Very well said, Jimmy
Such wise words.
you break yourself down to the worst point. until the real healing begins. this is very true
how do u heal
Agree! De-construct the abuse to break the cycle. # De-construct to Re-construct.
If you are weak you become like your abuser
He has significant insight and it’s clear he yearns for a healthier life.
It seems like Mark sometimes asks leading questions in the interviews. I admire Jimmy for so eloquently dodging Mark’s attempts.
“ You don’t have to be homeless. There are plenty of resources out there for you. You just have to go there and make yourself a priority”
…..Jimmy, you said that so well. It could apply to other situations as well. Make yourself a priority is so much easier said than done. However, he speaks the truth.
His little dog is his most loyal friend. Our pets are family and know all our secrets. Unconditional Love is so true.. No judgement just pure love.♥️🐾
We don’t deserve dogs ❤🦮🐾
It isn't really "love" that your pet is showing you.
Unconditional love from a pet isn’t to be compared to love, care and acceptance from fellow human beings. Also a pet may not have an option to leave abusive owner ., so often than not people need human companionship and care from others. An animal isn’t a substitute to genuine human relationships.
@@lynnehuff7059 we'll have to agree to disagree.🤷🏼♀️
So cute and it was washing its face like a cat.
Rebecca doesn't need to go to Coachella, but the people trying to get her ticket are making me cringe hard.
No cringe for the person placing it up for a giveaway?
🎯💯💯💯
@@user-zn9zj4pl4bnot at alll! He's calling it as he sees it. She's way too unstable for something like that right now. If she were doing better Mark would help her endlessly. But he, like all of us, has limits. He has to respect himself before others will respect him. If he were letting ppl walk all over him you'd have something to say about that too. I love that he's who he is no matter who he's talking to!
He needs to be in a rubber room with a box of crayons.
they are assholes
Jimmy breaks my heart. He's anxious and lost. He knows all the right things to say, but struggles to believe them for himself. He was put on suicide watch for a reason. His little dog is the only thing keeping him going right now, so I hope whatever happens they allow them to stay together. He laughed a very nervous, but revealing laugh when you said you thought rebecca had mental issues and said we all do, or started to say that. I hope he gets the support and reassurance he so desperately needs. He seems like a very sweet soul.
I agree with you. It seems like he almost doesn't have a lot of faith in his agency to speak of his states. think I would classify myself as very aligned with the same and it can be helped. it takes lots of communication. Sure his dog is of much reassurance and hope he can have lots more. He seems a nice person. it's quite sad
He is killing me. His heart…
Five felonies. Oh God…what is the truth here…?
Narcissistic porn actor who relies on a sugar-daddy
Yes he seems so sweet. Another person I wish I could save 😭
What a beautiful, intelligent, genuinely good person. I hope Jimmy finds peace and success and happiness. Such a treasure
I hate to make such a superficial comment when Jimmy is so profound, but he’s one of the most polished & best dressed subjects Mark has interviewed. It’s dangerous to judge a book by its cover, but in this instance-the jacket very much fits the content.
He is honest, kind, thoughtful, sensitive, artistic, & intelligent. I hope Rebecca can find the strength to take inspiration from him.
Definitely high fashion model material. But to get anywhere in that game you have to have money and famous parents or sell your soul to the devil.
Jimmy sounds like a genuine soul. He honoured his friend Rebecca by being loyal & NOT Gossiping about them.
He Truly respects Rebecca & to find a friend like that nowadays is rare.
Good on you Jimmy.
Ur a GENUINE GOOD PERSON & FRIEND!😊
23:17 he received Haldol in the hospital. He confuses his lies and does not own anything. Broke the glass of the door by knocking? COME ON.
Haldol is given to psychotic or schizophrenic people, probably drug induced. His sugar daddy called police and they called EMS. Don't be SO naïve.
Absolutely 💯
I absolutely hated how Mark treated this kind person.
Usually how it goes. He exploits them and talks down to them, minimizes their experience and the SWU cult creams their jeans and calls him a compassionate god. So annoying. He needs to be taken down already.
He was mad that the conversation didn't go the direction that he wanted , mark just trying to milk Rebecca's audience
@@sixthirtytwo4325Mark is a director of trauma-porn and extractive and dumb af
Also, he was trying to stop this individual from saying things that could be used against them in court unknowingly .
Agreed, Kenzie - he was cold and somewhat rude.
@@weluvtomk.__Yes yet he asked him to talk about his criminal troubles so…
It looks like his dog sensed Jimmy's possible anxious emotional state and wanted to comfort him. I noticed Jimmy calm down a bit once he was able to hold him. Dogs are the best. ❤
Jimmy is very high on meth.
The dog is reacting to his state and is equally anxious because of it. Unfortunately I think he's high in this interview, he can't sit still, his breathing is weird & talking fast like when you do too much coke. Pets absolutely know when your high and they don't like it. I think Jimmy would be a good fit at Comos' store, but he has to get away from that sugar daddy first.
@@sugarsore no he is not he is anxious.
@@nifflofair6685 No, he's clearly high on stimulants. His breathing is quick and shallow, makes it look like he's vibrating when speaking. Clearly has a high heart rate, my intuition tells me he's high, may not be but I am 90% sure he is.
@@psychedelaholic Not sure. When I am anxious or intimidated, my breathing is my enemy 🤗
That photograph is beautiful. Mad skills Mark.
😍
Really is
Jimmy looks fierce... beautiful capture
He's beautiful ❤
Truly!
I know Jimmy, He is actually a very good friend of mine. We hangout before he come and go to my house his also closed to my dogs. He actually a great person but he is lost right now. Take care Jimmy hope one day you will find that peace and happiness in your life.
What do you mean he's lost right now?
I hope he's OK.
Yes he’s a good guy met him a couple of times I sincerely hope he has a great life
@@saijalovesmusiche’s not as good off as he says in this video. Haldol is the medication they give for methamphetamine overdoses, for starters. Addicts are great at hiding things but then making their life seem under control when it’s everything but. Sometimes, these interviewees are playing it up for someone watching- trying to white wash things. Addiction is a crazy thing…
Affirmative. Drug addicts are masters in manipulation. It’s the first indicator that a sober person has to weigh and expect if having any type of relationship with the DA.
Jimmy was so calm at the start of this interview and then became so very anxious. Jimmy, your heart seems so sweet. I'm rooting for you.
"It's filled with ghouls and gobblins, but I rebuke it." I love that!
❤❤
Right!!! Perfect response from Jimmy
❤❤❤
Jimmy is a loyal friend and you could tell he didn't want to say anything against Rebecca.They both have there problems but just different types of them.Good luck with court Jimmy.
One, mental illness.
their* problems
Mark isn’t making this interview easy for Jimmy 🤷🏼♀️ I like Jimmy , and I hope he gets himself together and makes a better life for himself.
Mark, don't ask questions that he tries to vaguely answer and then tell him "the internet is not the place to talk about this stuff, the courtroom is." That was so condescending. Even the way he looked at you after that, you know he was off-put.
THANK YOU!
I know most of the time I feel like Mark is pretty respectful to the people he interviews, but I felt like with Jimmi he was a little condescending at certain points. I also felt like he should have dropped the question about how much he pays for rent, like he was avoiding that question for sure and for who knows why.
yes, that was mean! it’s clearly not easy for jimmy to talk about, he seemed anxious too but he wanted to and explained the importance of wanting to and mark just dismissed him…it was uncomfortable to watch and i commend jimmy for standing his ground as best as he could
Mark may be showing signs of burnout and impatience after all the Rebecca shenanigans, not to mention the ongoing Whittakers dramas. I agree, the questioning was pretty personal but Mark may have had his reasons. Jimmy was uncomfortable answering and so he didn’t… and I applaud that.
To be honest , mark’s whole energy was very OFF throughout this video. Jimmy said he had been sa’d and mark’s first response was “were drugs involved that evening” highly insensitive and very alarming
Can u please check on jimmy again and do another interview with him he is very very interesting he pulls you in
I think he’s such a good friend for Rebecca because it gives her the perspective that you can get through shit and still make it
Rebecca is still too stuck on self pity and not wanting nor willing to work for his own life, that’s of the major reasons why he’s stuck in his own hell.

He should model. The still shots of you are amazing
Honestly Jimi is the type of person you want to help. Like he doesn’t like his situation but he wants out and I feel if he gets help with school, counseling, etc. he can accomplish more if he wants
Tru
This man has a beautiful face. He can do modeling. He seems to be a nice soul. Mark should bring him back.
Jimmy is hurting too but also very strong considering what hes been through himself, so he would understand the struggle. Keep going Jimmy you got this!
Everybody hurts.

@@SoulxSpectre😂perfect
That dog is an angel to him
Now the dog is prob dumped on someone because his 5 felony trial waa good fri
The dog couldn’t keep still for a second which was concerning. I was wondering what was wrong with him, and hope only needing to go out was the only issue.
@@baublesanddolls the dog is acting normal. Trust me, I’ve seen dogs on meth, weed, mdma. You would absolutely know if a dog has gotten into any substances. The dog actually seems happy. If you pay attention, when Jimmy stops petting him, he gets antsy. He’s a needy dog and it’s typical of small breed chihuahua mix pups to be that way.
I agree. It is amazing when something else is totally dependent on you and what you will do for that creature!
WHY would Mark ASK HIM directly about his case asking for more details then reprimand him for revealing anything about it?? just makes no sense
Exactly.
Because Mark is an exploitative creep. Isn’t it obvious by now?? Amanda Rabb isn’t alive anymore because of this channel
Because he loves to make fools out of these people
I thought that was some bullcrap when he said that. I wonder about his true intentions
@@teresha6252 watch some stuff ABOUT mark, not BY mark and you’ll see his real intentions
Jimmy does remind me of Rebecca in the sense that they’re oddly positive about everything.
Bae is such a faithful lil buddy. He could tell jimmy was anxious and wanted to comfort him.
Or, maybe Bae wanted to comfort Jimmy. He’s clearly not in a good place.
@@GREENMAYNEthat’s literally what the comment said…
he 100% uses that dog as a sex toy. Its very obvious. A degenerate. SAD
@@GREENMAYNE literally what I said 🤷♀️
His little dog is adorable!
The ⭐️ of the show😊
The photograph is striking - WOW! Wishing all the best for Jimmy and Bae.
"It's easy to become like your abusers when you don't heal from your trauma" wow truth too
I'm praying for you Jimmy.
Jimmy is like what Rebecca could be sober. Very intelligent, fabulous, creative, and takes accountability for the life he lives. I hope that Jimmy rubs off on Rebecca. When Jimmy says drugs aren't the problem, mental health is...I could not agree more. Mental health care needs to be taken just as seriously as physical health.
Mark, you literally asked him about his court case and then condescendingly told him not to talk about it on the internet.
I don’t think Mark wanted as much information.
not really, he mentioned legal issues then jimmy poured it all out and mark eventually put the stoppers on it cos he was going into murky waters that he needn't make public for his own good
Mark needs better training if he is going to be talking to these people then blasting them all over the internet. And yea, he tends to get kind of condescending when he speaks to people.
@@Taylor-kh1pe He has four or five years of hands-on training, which is far better than those who come out book smart with no real experience. Mark knows addicts more than most, and he's not as naive as some people think. His heart often overtakes his head, that's all, especially in Rebecca’s case.
@@Taylor-kh1pemark is an exploitative creep, haven’t we noticed this by now? Amanda Rabb is no longer alive because of this channel
Prayers for you Jimmy, your little dog is soo cute, and it shows how much you love and care for him.
What a gorgeous, well spoken , intelligent and self -aware young man . He deserves all the best in life ❤
Agreed❤
My God. This is such a sweet soul. Sending him ALL of the positivity in the world. I hope that both Mark and the audience can give him tons of support to help him reach is peak personal potential and happiness ❤❤❤❤
He knows he's deceiveing Mark. Now Mark will look in his past videos.'21 I believe....
💯
@@dhalladay27who’s deceiving Mark?
5 felonies....
Wow, so many naive people.
The guy in Jimmy's life is not his sugar daddy. That's his enemy.
Yes, Jimmy and Bae need to get away from him yesterday…
What exactly does this mean? “That’s his enemy.”
It sounds like he's drugging this person. Like saying about sleeping for days on end whenever they were together on trips.
I wonder if his sugar daddy drugged him .. hence blackouts (getting arrested ?)sleeping so much on vacation .
Hopefully he has cut that chord !!
@@midnightjasmine13same thing I thought, probably being drugged and abused but not only his SD.
I’ve been watching soft white underbelly for years, and i’ve always loved watching these videos but as of recent i’ve started to become more and more aware of this undertone of condescension with mark. Yes he interacts with a wide variety of people with varying degrees of mental/physical stability, but people watch these videos to see this raw untouched side of people that they wouldn’t normally get to. It allows for a deeper level of understanding and sympathy. so it rubs me the wrong way when mark makes comments trying to push his narrative of what’s going on, the opposite of what many are trying to get out of these videos. Mark makes interjections like “deal with it in court not on the internet”, when jimmy is literally talking about how he is dealing with it in court. or “everyone’s got their own little dramas”, as if he’s not talking about the outcome of someone’s life. I see more and more how marks privilege shines through as ignorance, and definitely not just in this video.
Example of this is when he makes comments to someone like Rebecca that she must hate herself if she wants to transition. Wtf??? Just totally ignorant and hurtful.
@@adelaideslament6421yup, it’s aggravating.
@ the OP here. So glad to read your comment. This is something I noticed very early on in my discovery of this channel. That and the $ being made from all of this. I understand many videos on yt are not monetised, from what gets said here anyway. But there is a great deal of content with further available on much more lucrative platforms. That and the level of voyeurism, privilege and all the things you noted, have always left me feeling uncomfortable about watching a lot of swu content. It smacks of exploitation far too often. When I first discovered this channel I tried to talk about it in the comments but was shouted down by everyone. Seems lately more and more are starting to see it too.
@@lucydayLucidaIt's always been like this, but it's definitely getting worse. He is a professional photographer who has done photo shoots for Apple and other large companies, so he's never really been hurting for money, but with the huge amount of money he's made from this his attitude has gotten worse.
Also, there have been quite a few pretty unethical things that he has done over the past year or two that I don't agree with.
I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to profit and benefit from his videos and his channel because he absolutely does. He has every right to benefit as much as he possibly can, but his attitude towards people has definitely gotten worse and he's become more condescending as time I gone on.
@@lostineggsaisleyou should check out some videos ABOUT mark on here. Ones that aren’t made by him, but about him. People are finally realizing
Please bring him back on. He was very interesting.
Mark just did another Jimmy video the other day
so sad jimmy is struggling with this incident he sounds so worried
I hope that he sorts this out 🙏🙂↕️🥲
I know first hand how badly the justice system is geared against the lower class. I was accused of a crime I didn’t commit. In jail, I was on the phone with a public defender for 30 SECONDS and they were already telling me about the plea deal they were going to make without ever hearing my side of the story. Thankfully my husband and I are “comfortable” to say the least and paid a private criminal defense attorney a $7,500 retainer. Within 12 hours I was out of jail on bail that cost us an additional $2,500. The only time I stepped foot in a court room was to plea not guilty. The case was dropped COMPLETELY. How can people get a fair chance in court when the people who represent them couldn’t care less about them or their case?! Many of these public defenders should have their licenses to practice stripped from them for not fulfilling their obligations and violating public trust.
This is an excellent truth about the system. Ty can you imagine, this guy's accused is a lawyer. Omg. Such a tough case for him. Thanks for your story . I hope people read it. There's changes with lady liberty . America better start making some informed decisions. Good comment❤
Poor and mentally ill people are mostly what fills the jail's. A lot of people making their living off that system need to keep those jail's full. The United States with the biggest percentage of its population in jail in the western world.
There aren't that many public defenders and they don't get paid well. So you're going to get all public defenders fired and then what? You still won't win. It'll make the system worse.
Also the problem isn't the public defenders per se. It's the people who keep getting into trouble. People need to stop committing crimes.
he's being charged with assault with a deadly weapon....that didn't just happen out of nowhere...geting 3 unique and separate charges is not a coincidence, no matter how kind he seems in this short interview. I agree that obviously its harder for poor people, but as a fellow lower class person, we must think critically about these matters and not sugar coat them.
@@camiiii31 and I was being charged with felony domestic battery by strangulation and child neglect. Those who saw my arrest online were ready to lock me up and throw away the key. But when you add the fact that the teen we were fostering didn’t like the word “no” so proceeded to harm herself and used the marks as proof of abuse to get out of our care, the fact that her and mother orchestrated this event for nearly 2 months prior, and the fact that DCFS did an investigation and found not only no evidence of neglect but overwhelming evidence that we were going above and beyond what the state requires.. well, now you get a very different landscape. I’m not saying this guy is innocent or guilty. I’m just saying that he deserves a fair shake in court but is unlikely to get one due to his financial state and unfortunate need to rely on a public defender.
The black and white photo of him is absolutely stunning. Excellent work Mark!
I just said the exact same thing. He is gorgeous.
@@CherieRamstrom I’m actually surprised that nobody has mentioned that he should get into modeling. I mean he needs counseling and mental health support and probably drug counseling but I genuinely think he could have a great career in print modeling. Idk, maybe I’m just naive and not seeing the big picture here
Definitely in my Favorite Top 3
Jimmy is a sweetheart. I hope his court date went okay. He said it was on Good Friday which was March 29. Please bring Jimmy back Mark. I would like to know that he is okay.
If he's not already locked back up. I would love to see an update as well @sashafreedom
Absolutely same. Please update us Mark.
Me too!
Agree. Want to see more of Jimmy
Me too ❤
This guy tries not to be a victim but he is. He needs real help and has a real shot at life.
This young man has a soft, sweet soul.
His sugardaddy pays for everything, so snatched away his passion???
23:17 he received Haldol in the hospital. He confuses his lies and does not own anything. Broke the glass of the door by knocking? COME ON.
Haldol is given to psychotic or schizophrenic people, probably drug induced. His sugar daddy called police and they called EMS. Don't be SO naïve.

@@gisselmontero2304 it's not an interrogation with a lie detector. He shared what he was prepared to share, and omitted what he didn't feel comfortable with. None of it makes him a liar.
Jimmy is wise and stunning. How is he not a model! That still shot was fire! 🔥
Modeling is hard work.
he has an onlyfans. Plenty of videos of him gagging on Rebeccas AIDS dong
I thought the same thing. He’s gorgeous.
@@lynnehuff7059what is that supposed to mean?
Definitely has that “it” factor… I could 100% see him as a high fashion model.
Jimmy does a good job of avoiding questions and stepping around them.
like ya
He is smart
He is weird and full of it
Good...mark was trying pretty hard to get him to dog his friend and also about his rent $...rude af n I like SWU
@@strawberriesarelifeexactly lol he really didn’t need to question him as hard as he did ab that
I love Jimmy! I'm so glad that you are interviewing him Mark. He deserves to be heard.
Prettiest man in a tiara that I’ve ever seen! And can we talk about the lion’s tail cut on the tinsy doggo? Too stinking cute!
Great interview Mark
Yeh, I agree. 🩵 the tiara also. Not sure how tall he is but his face & structure is near perfect. He could make a great print & runway model. I don’t say that often about anyone, but he’s definitely got something & the bleached hair is really working for him.
He reminds me of Billy Idol...
@@tatianarizktaylor1818 A runway model? No
@@lynnehuff7059
Are you an expert on models? 😁
@@jaggirl No. It is common knowledge that modeling is arduous.
Oh Jimmy…my heart is with you. My dog also saved my life. I’ll be sending all the positive vibes out into the universe.
Same here!! I named my miracle first born son after my life saving dog ❤ you wouldn't believe the habits he has that remind me so much of my pup, and the same, deep level of empathy and care for me.
“How much do you pay for rent? “
Translated Answer:
Nunya Damn Business 😉
Mark's one nosy mf. What did he need to know so badly for? So he knows how much $ he should or should not give him! LOL
LMAOOOO literally
To me it felt like he was fishing for info to show how much he’s being given by section 8 or something like that. To show how much of a hand out he’s given.
Right!? That one blew me
“Drugs are everywhere honey.” Period! Like come on Mark, you should already know this 👏🏼👏🏼
He knocked on the door hard enough to break it, calmly walked in, said "let's go to pride" and then blacks out? There's either lies or drugs involved in this story.
I say Sugar Daddy is drugging him big time
Its very clear why hes getting charged
Jimmy is lying, he knows exactly what he does and doing, not a good person.
I reckon the sugar daddy had been spiking his drinks for a while and I'm pretty sure some drugs can retroactively wipe/interfere with memories leading up to when the drug was administered, even losing whole days. Also extreme trauma like a sexual assault from someone you trusted can cause dissociation which interfere with memories by itself anyway. It sounds like when the police picked him up he was in a pretty dissociated state half dressed saying nothing except 'I've been raped'.
Trust me they only give u Haldol and Ativan when u are uncontrollable,! Helgol is for psychotic episodes,so he must of been acting erratic
He's not a sugar daddy. He's an attorney running a sex trafficking ring. Sickening.
Yeah him talking about randomly passing out for days on those trips is VERY suspicious.. that man might be done using him and is now throwing him to the wolves
I too, have those thoughts
23:17 he received Haldol in the hospital. He confuses his lies and does not own anything. Broke the glass of the door by knocking? COME ON.
Haldol is given to psychotic or schizophrenic people, probably drug induced. His sugar daddy called police and they called EMS. Don't be SO naïve.
@@GringoTearz sounds like it, I picked up on it too. Sounds like they have tried to set him up for jail. He is up against it if this is true. He seems like a gentle spirit and he needs alot of God and luck if he comes out on top of legal issues with the court corruption.
My thoughts exactly. I believe Jimmy is in danger, but is trying not to say anything that will get him killed.
This interview was extremely inappropriate. Mark was clearly fishing for information on Rebecca, had zero interest in Jimmy and wanted to push his own views of Rebecca’s transition.
Well done Jimmy for not talking about her xxxxx
Exactly. He's like... yeah, no more Rebecca and then he finds someone who can give him info on Rebecca. I think he's worried about views between the Whittaker drama not covering Rebecca anymore. It's kind of exploitative.
@@StargazerLily82 Truly very exploitive now! So obsessive about Rebecca!
Thank u, because I was scrolling down to see if anyone else noticed how he always tried to find a reason to segway into talking about Rebecca? It was rude because it seems as if Mark was hoping that Jimmy just wanted to gossip about Becs, and he seemed to be more interested when they talked about her? I also feel that Mark shouldn't have said anything about Skid Row, because although it might not be a good place, he doesn't have to live there and it's all those ppl have? He kept pressing Jimmy about how much his rent is but if he's not going to help why pressure someone that hard? I like Rebecca and hope she gets sober but I feel that Mark's assistance would be better appreciated on Jimmy?
Zackly! 😩
jimmy's a consenting adult, getting paid to chat sh*t about himself, rebecca, whatever he wants. he's been paid for g*y p*rn in the past, so this is a luxury gig. he is being interviewed as a result of his recent, chosen, connection to rebecca. mark was not "pushing" anything about his own opinions, it's called an adult, forthright discussion. people really need to grow up and start learning the art of discussion without getting butt hurt every five seconds. as the person holding the interview space, it's totally appropriate to lead the line of questioning. if the interviewee doesn't want to answer he can say that, or like jimmy does, waltz around the question and give a word salad answer. which is totally allowed. mark can be pretty blunt but note: he is referring to rebecca as a female which is not correct, but he's playing along out of some kind of respect, so hardly 'pushing' his views.
This guy impressed me deeply. He is so young but he had to go through a lot of difficulties... I wish hom only the best, he definitely reserves better life! And I looking forward the next interview with Jimmy!
The photo literally took my breath away. Great shot!
Jimmy seems a really genuine and introspective person. He’s got super positive vibes.
Rebecca: I love drugs.
The truth: addicts love what drugs prevent them from feeling, processing, and accepting within themselves.
@commonsense2680 man it took me a long time to realize this. As tough and as much of a full time job as using every day is, it's living life on EASY mode compared to living life clean and taking care of oneself, and taking care of responsibility! That's the real Hard Mode! 💯 but I'm getting better slowly 🐌 😌 but surely
Yes, kind of like people saying that they love food when they're actually just hungry -:/
That's the truth!! People who can't get proper mental health care often use street drugs to cope with life. Drugs help people forget, not deal, not process, not take accountability, etc. It's so sad, we need free mental health care in our country!! That would help stop a lot of the abuse of illegal street drugs..
JIMI YOU ARE FABULOUS. You are smarter and more aware than most people I know.
You’re not the black sheep, you’re just who you are. I so respect you for being who you are. You are a beautiful soul, I just love you. My son came out to me when he was 16, he’s now 38 and I accepted his choice unconditionally. I wished all parents would accept their kids choice.
Yes totally!!
“She’s definitely a free spirit” that’s a good friend 💛
* he
@@mangomini1587*SHE. Can you read? Are you aware that SHE identifies as a she? It’s not hard.
@tiaslays255 listen you little delusional reject. He is a *HE... are you blind? People in mental hospitals believe they are astronauts, but do you think the medical workers enable that behavior. If you are born a male, you are a fkin MALE, you MORON
@@tiaslays255 Are you blind, He is a *HE.
The way Jimmy's dog gets so excited about him and was crying to get to him, is so endearing. It's clear they love each other. ❤
Omg i fell in love with Jimmy 🩷 And his dog, such a sweet person i want an update. Hope he's doing well.
Jimmy's maturity about how life goes is so refreshing to see. Very intelligent, very articulate, beautiful and stunning.
His sugardaddy pays for everything, so snatched away his passion???

As someone whos been in recovery for over a decade, I completely understand where Jimmy is coming from when he says drugs aren’t the issue, the underlying problems are. Unfortunately for me, my underlying problems were not being able to physically handle withdrawal. I started using prescription medications in a social setting and as a “hang over solution” and I was young and naive and didn’t really understand that taking prescription meds was “bad” back then. I felt amazing at the time and kept doing it everyday for like 2 weeks. I realized how much money I was wasting so decided to stop. I felt so unbelievably miserable that I thought I was seriously ill. I didn’t even know I was going through withdrawal. To feel better I took another one and when I finally realized what I had done to myself I was stuck. I was terrified to tell on myself and kept it all hidden for two years until I got caught buying some by an undercover cop. Being caught was the best thing to ever happen to me. I had an amazing childhood and amazing life and no depression or reason to numb myself. Sometimes you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time and you get stuck in a situation you don’t understand.
It is a shame that the fear of being sick keeps people in their addiction. I'm 6 or 7 year clean off a bundle a day heroin habit. I talked myself into facing being sick and embraced dope sickness as the price that I owed for being an addict. I quit cold turkey. Was I terribly ill? Yes, but the understanding that I earned every ache, pain, bowel movement, cold sweat and muscle cramp that I had as the price of admission to the fun house ride I was on. One must overcome the fear and pay your ticket price to freedom. Making the road to recovery painless often undercuts the value of admission to wholeness. It shouldn't be easy to get clean, few people can place value on something that is casually earned. Hard work rewarded accordingly has more value to the recipient of that reward.
Same here. It happens to a lot of us, unfortunately. Hope you're doing well now. ❤
Great comment.
😊@@stephanipeloquin4631
“Your environment doesn’t make you who you are, you bring what you are to your environment.” So true. At least as an adult it is. I don’t want to live in my city but it’s all on how I look at it each day. I can choose to love it here or hate it just by the negative or positive thoughts I allow myself to think about it.
So true
😅😂😅😂😅 . You dont know ish
Wow Jimmy and his little dog are soo sweet. What a good soul.
The last 5 minutes of this interview are PROFOUND. Well said, Jimmy! Best of luck and positive energy your way, darlin!
Mark you should interview the people who actually live in the apartments in Skidrow
Interviewing the mentally ill for profit.
Great idea
5 felonies?! There’s a lot more to this story.
*YUP!*
That scene that he’s in is really bad
Not really!! They charge as much as they can stack up! Believe me!
@@jennifergannuscio6086that’s so horrible and the fact that his SD was an attorney? That must be scary.
Not at all always. It's LAPD after all.
Jimmy is a very relatable and likable person, seriously...really wish him the best!
What a sweet friend. Truly. I have think about how my daughter could have ended up in a homeless situation. She had bipolar and schizophrenia and it caused so much pain that she ended her suffering on 6/1/2021 at 24 years old. I think of my daughter when I see Rebecca.
Sorry to hear thats its a hard thing to live with achizophrenia i had family member had it
@@celticwarrior777it’s a heartbreaking diagnosis. There’s not much help available. I just always say, her peace is my peace. I miss her everyday
I’m sorry for your loss. My cousin was self medicating his schizophrenia on the streets of LA. So tragic. Our healthcare system fails us daily.
That is the saddest and most difficult mental illness out there. I’m so sorry!
@lynnretzlaff2656 just the healthcare system? What about family & friends?
Would be nice to see Rebecca clean of drugs. It was a pleasure to hear Jimmy’s life story.
Gracias Amigo!
The chances of that happening is extremely low.

I think Mark needs to maintain his boundaries, meaning not trying to constantly follow what is going on with her.
One of the most gracious guests to grace Soft White. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your story.
We need a Jimmy update!
2 charges dismissed acquitted of other 3
Mark just did another Jimmy video the other day
Mark says, "you dont want to get into this case on the internet, trust me on that", after he questions him about it, and lets him ramble on and on about it, and then posts it on the internet. Make it make sense, please......
Exactly!! I said the exact same thing.
@@Kay_Watermelon good to know I'm not the only one who noticed!
Mark can be incredibly condescending; this one was too much for me. The all of it is becoming toxic, for me anyway. Unsubbed.
@@kimyarmuch120 I'm right there with you after seeing Mark try to twist Rebecca into the conversation. Mark has no idea what the hell he's doing to these people. Not for: TO
shhh dont point it out, everyone's going to flip out because hes bring awareness so you cant give an ounce of criticism
Mark: I'm Through With Rebecca Content!
Mark Next Week: Interview w/Rebecca Acquaintance
hope next week is Rebecca
Lol... could be a form of addiction.
He's clearly obsessed. 💔
He can’t give up milking Rebecca for all she’s got
😂
I understand the idea of “the problem isn’t the drugs it’s what’s inside you that’s making you seek them” but I think that some people use that to minimize their drug use and pretend it’s not a problem. But the truth is that sober people make better choices and when you get sober your life becomes much more stable because of it. Once you’ve done that then you absolutely should look inward and get to the root of the problem. But drug use isn’t just a symptom of the problem, it’s a whole problem in itself.
That's fundamentally incorrect tho. Every person on this earth has a vice. An activity or action they turn to for a dopamine hit. Be it food, shopping, quilting, or heroin. However those that turn to substance use happened to find a vice that isn't sustainable and seem to have a complete inability to live life on life's terms. The substance is absolutely a symptom of a need for that person to self medicate the shame they've accumulated thru life. Just removing the substance is not the cure all, if it was there would be a way higher statistical number for recovery. 1 in 10 for opiate use long term sobriety for example says that there is more to blame than physical dependency.
There are also sober people that are complete and total failures at life, so the blanket statement that sober people make better choices isn't true. I've seen sober people make just as much of a wreck of their life as addicts. And what is their excuse?
While yes everyone, sober or not, needs to take accountability for their part in how they have turned out in their life, nothing will ever change until everyone agrees the answer lies with preventing the trauma in the first place, or providing genuine avenues for healing the trauma after it occurs. 30 day stents in rehab will never fix it. Or at least not enough to change a 1 in 10 statistic.
I agree with everything you wrote - I also think people convince themselves they’re using drugs to fix or deal with an issue and not that the drugs have started to use and control them
Jimmy is a fascinating individual. He has the maturity that comes from experiencing downs falls and acknowledging that change must occur to move forward. In regards to “skid row “ yes, I agree with him, some of the buildings around skid row are beautiful and modern. Go down San Pedro street and you’ll see some these buildings. All the SRO (SingleRoom Occupancy ) in area are also being renovated and refurbished. I want to hear and see more of Jimmy . I want him to have that fashion career he wants. Trade Tech is the best school for fashion school. You don’t have spend the money that private fashion school costs.
I am sending good vibes to this beautiful being. His eyes show anxiety, fear and stress but equally they show kindness and desire for a better future . Just the fact that he loves his little dog*** , he got me there. We need an update on Jimmy please.
I think the Sugar Daddy is drugging him and the Sugar Daddy has done this foolishness before.
Indeed sounds like he was taken advantage of for being nice 😞
exactly...its a ring that needs to be outted!
very possible. It is also possible there is a mental illness , haldol is used for this
You are wise before your years
That doesn’t make any sense though.
He claimed he “blacked out”.....but he had just arrived at the guys house and broke in. So how would the guy have drugged him? Jimmy wasn’t around him until he came to his house, broke in, then “blacked out” and attacked him with a piece of broken glass....
The claims now about feeling like he was “asleep for days” on vacation is just lies in order to try and make it seem like a pattern of being drugged , as an excuse for his felony charges. Cause come on, how would someone not know if they had been “asleep for days”? You wouldn’t realize it if you went to sleep on Monday and didn’t wake until Thursday? B.S.
He’s definitely hiding things about his stories. Things just don’t sound right, parts of the stories seem missing and not the whole truth.
You got that right! Lots of holes in his stories. If it doesn't make sense, it's usually not truthful... in my experience of course.
felt the same way too
Yes. Don’t get me wrong, he seems nice but he struck me as a very unreliable narrator in his own story.
You just don’t accidentally end up with that many charges. I do think drugs have played a part. All his humming and hawing and inability to give straight answers makes me think he’s withholding what did happen.
He points out “where would I have gotten a shard of glass?” Did he not just SAY he broke through a glass pane to get the latch for the door undone? Potentially there was a glass shard because he JUST admitted he broke the glass to unlatch the door.
YES !!
not one person he interviews tells the truth, they are all addicts and mentally ill, they all embellish and lie.
He shouldn’t be talking about his criminal case if it’s still active. The prosecutor/cops can use his statements against him.
This was posted after the court case so it didn't matter.
yeah, Mark needs to use a little more discretion when making these interviews. asking someone what they pay for rent isn't really right and asking what his legal situation was isn't great either.
those could have been edited out. i get he might wanna ask so other people watching can get help/get more info but i know that leaving abusive situations can mean that you'll get help from grants or relocation charities.
your circumstances can decide how much help you get but still, it's not something everyone can or wants to disclose.
@@AdzaanMaiiTso i think it was mark's clever way of trying to force the pimping situation and deeper issue for us to put the pieces together...its a sex ring....part of the bigger whole that puffy himself involved in....
@@ResPieces that makes sense. Also felt intrusive
Hopefully, deport this trash
Jimmy is a sincere beautiful soul. He is eloquent and gentle and empathetic. He deserves everything good. I wish him the best.
I would LOVE to see Jimmy and Cosmo connect! There could be some amazing magic there! It's so nice finally getting to see who the mysterious Jimmy is!
