these guys were really my childhood, watched them for 12years, makes me sad seeing how this has turned out. cant bear to watch anymore cant remember last video i watched
Same, watched every video for 3-4 years straight. I had an android so I would actually download old episodes and listen to them like a podcast 😂. But now it’s dead, & has been ever since they introduced Steve & Nikki as permanent members
@@russellwestgoat766 My exact thoughts, Steve changed the entire dynamic and for the worst, sad that they didn't see that and even favorit him over Tif. It was shity how they treated her.
@@russellwestgoat766 Steve and Nikki were my favorite guests until that video with Shane Dawson popped up. That was the last time I watched jknews but I should’ve been stopped watching them
@@flavialm1 look, either way, theyre crap without host/mediator. Tiff and Steve were good hosts of their own, but take those out and its all cringefest. Especially Bart. All their joke are senile, all sexual etc. Miss the ladies in the mix because there was great chemistry there. Back then it was like all good family/friends talking, now it all sounds like a locker room talk.
@@angelicac2187 agree but I believe things whent downhill after Steve joined in, it changed the entire vibe, it went from friends chating at a bar to drunk guys at a frat party.
Literally checked back in after four years only to find out the entire crew has basically fallen apart. Completely in shock. Idk how to describe it but it’s like finding out a childhood friend went to prison.
All I gotta say is... David has gotta be the most self-righteous, pick-me dude I've ever seen. He just thinks if he barks at you as loud as he can with all the curse words in his limited vocab, that you'll cower away and hopefully Bart/Joe will reward him with a treat. He also thinks if he calls himself neutral or unbiased over and over, ppl won't notice how condescending/threatening he's being to "foes" of JK. Idk I'm sure he's not a bad person but he just conducts himself in such a ridiculous way
I used to watch JK religiously, but not anymore. Without tiff, geo, Gina, jess,…it’s just not the same. Big Moods is good, but not great. All their channels are now my 2nd or 3rd option on UA-cam. With everything now days, not all business will last. It WAS a great ride. They all seem happy where they’re currently at. Joe found love, Bart & geo are in Vegas doing family things, tiff and case on their first child together. I secretly think Gina is super rich!!!! She’s got her nerdy gaming life. Jessica is no longer depressed, joe’s D was not enough for her hahahaha…EVERYONE IS HAPPY.
You're comment reminds of a movie of young gang friends who left the street life behind: one goes to college, another finally started working a job, another moved far away - signs that *there won't be a part 2 or 3*
@twentyfivekgplants tomake1kgbeef I think she had some drama with the girls. And she's not on JK because she takes care of Barbell and the kid while Bart films with JK. It's really sad that's he doesn't get to be a part of Tiff's pregnancy since Tiff was so involved with hers.
We're like family, but don't give Tiffany severance pay after firing her and she's pregnant with the guy that produce your videos from day one. While Joe and Bart making millions off crypto. These people are nasty
from day one, they only paid casey and didnt pay themselves, she was also offered severance pay but declined it, always complained and wanted to leave, said shes outgrown the humor. She would get fired acting like that at any job.
@@brandonlee1947 this video was recommended after yesterday I was watching tiff's video. I feel like tiff never said anything about about them and actually very grateful. Your statement suggested she's some snobby ungrateful person. I'm very disappointed because they're were a part of our childhood. Overall everything fallback to Joe&Bart. Their characters and leadership.
From the screenshot of Tiffany's message towards Olivia -- Tiffany was rude & and dragging Olivia (for her personal experience) only for it to happen to her NEXT. Stating "don't let yourself be persuaded by one side of the story" while supporting reducing Olivia to a disgruntled ex-girlfriend and employee. & now, Tiffany is trying to get her "one side of the story" out there while being painted (and discredited) as an emotional, financially ungrateful, disgruntled employee. Not fun is it, Tiffany? Olivia is owed an apology by you.
David sometimes just says things that does not make sense or have any validity to it. He says things that are at the top of his mind. That can be a good and bad thing in some ways.
I grew up watching jk news as a middle/high schooler. There were some things that the crew said or did that made younger me uncomfortable/feel some type of way, and now that I'm older I understand a lot better now. I cannot believe the stuff they said and did was thought to be okay. I still remember UA-cam was very different back then. Tons of stuff was brushed off. As much as people like to say "this generation is so sensitive", etc, it's just that these bad things are being called out now. Thank you for making these vids!
i don’t think you know what happened between them. tiffany needs to understand at the end of the day jknews is still a business. if you used to watch jknews all the time you will know tiffany is highly sensitive person who can’t express herself.
It seemed like it was her choice though, not that they demanded for her to do it. As that other comment mentioned and how she also said it in that clip they showed, she enjoyed doing that stuff and considered jk as part of her own.
Damn this hurts lowkey I used to watch them daily back high school and middle school. I stopped watching around my junior year cause I found interest in other things and I just came back to this. But everything comes to an end I hope they all learn and grow from this experience
I had never heard any of this before and had no clue it had happened. I was a big fan for a number so years until Bart when on JKNews and recalled a time him a some friends sexually assulted a fellow cadet while laughing about the incident. It was the most disturbing thing I'd ever seen on the internet and the rest of the cast just brushed it off. They left the video up for a while too. I couldnt stand too look at any of them after that. Clearly not good people. I don't understand how they didn't get their channels shut down for putting that on UA-cam.
It wasn't a while it was only a few hours or so cause when I went to watch the new jknews videos later that day I didn't see the video and found out that they had taken one of the new videos down and why they took it down thru the comments of one of the other videos.
@@raedenpantaleon7626 i remember that video and bart showed no remorse about the incident… plus its not the first time he has said stuff of a concerning matter w no remorse or sympathy. this is the same guy who doesnt believe boys can be raped by women bc they have to enjoy it….and the same guys who thinks the extreme hazing in the military is fine…doesnt show much growth
I was a fan, but I guess I just wasn't interested in them anymore by mid-2018. I guess it's a mixture of things they've said/did that I just can't defend anymore, the changeups, the shady stuff, me having a life and growing out of JK, ect. I haven't been watching their content since, but I have heard of their recent problems, changes, and drama occurring from them. It's sad watching them fall apart like this and seeing JK (especially the two owners) being shady. Mind you. I was one of their BIGGEST fans. I used to watch them everyday, especially JKNews. Of course, I'm happy for all of them (current and former JK members) that they have their own personal families/goals. But JK is not for me anymore. So I mean no offense to current JK fans. If you still watch them, that's cool. You do you.
@@Voodoovixenn yeah I listen to his podcast, I'd say majority of the stories he tells make him seem like a normal guy to me, he's just a bit opinionated. And for the stories that make him seem hard they aren't that uncommon for me, I live in North LB, CA between Compton and Paramount, folks around here, including myself, all got similar stories.
@@oz9504 same here i am from that same area also and a lot of us grew up this way and can tell these stories it isnt uncommon. even if u didnt want to be or act a type of way u kinda had to sadly if not others would eat u alive.
@@Voodoovixenn a lot of thing are not serious and i’m sure everyone know david made up a bunch of stories. david even said if there is real fight he would rub
I don’t like how Bart and Joe fired Tiff while she was going through so much loss in her life just because they wanted to have an all male cast for JK News….from there the channel pretty much died. Even though Tiff did mention she wasn’t all that into it anymore she was carrying the show
kinda rly depends. tiff lost passion for it and wasn’t rly into it. i find the videos way more funny now than i did back then when certain ppl would get offended by comments. but i guess it’s all personal opinion. the channel is still all jokes and that would appease to some crowds and not others
People who "defend" JK or say this video shouldn't be made, don't seem to look at JK from a different perspective or may still view them as what they are back then (they aren't anymore). People who also say that this youtuber is just doing a video for subs and cash grab don't know what they're talking about (FYI - Making UA-cam money isn't as easy as it was when Jk and the crew started doing UA-cam. It's f'in hard getting that UA-cam money now). This is all old crap that has been exposed and out there. You just gotta literally have to dig and you'll find all the shady stuff and that's what this youtuber literally did. They just literally dug and found it lol. To also go and say that "they/we" don't know stuff because "we/they" aren't in the inside like David isn't that great either, as David is a bias asf "family" member of JK. Whose side do you think he's gonna take? lol. I am unbias and if anything I could care less, this is just entertainment for me. BUT if you ask me and how I feel. I'll tell you - I used to LOVE JK and all there sub-channels. When the Olivia situation occurred, I basically said what some have said - "we don't know the situation, we aren't on the inside". BUT as life went on, I remember seeing ONE comment on a UA-cam video that made me start question stuff, which the comment said (and paraphrasing don't remember the whole quote)- "Geo and the JK members are a business first and foremost and only sell you the image of "family" *insert Fast and Furious Dom gif/mems*. People who keep saying they want to work for JK don't understand the fact that they are a tight knit group of people and won't just accept anyone off the street. They sell the image of family to get people to buy there stuff and support them". That was the quote that opened my eyes and made me question JK as more videos of them come out and I watch them. I don't remember when I stopped watching them, but I did. It wasn't until literally a few months ago, when I finally remembered them and decided to watch one ep. of JkNews that - My gosh was it not watchable anymore AND that's when all the dirt came up when I questioned why some people where gone. AND low and behold, it was easily found on the web of all the shady stuff they've done that was buried beneath the dirt. If you started out as a fan watching them when they were in there prime and watch them now. Most people would likely say JK isn't what they use to be and are quite sus now. Not only that but there main demographic has moved on and have grown up (I'm one of them). They are a former shell of themselves and if anything are lost in this "new" generation of UA-camrs and are basically misleading the few people they can still get.
Man wtf happened?? I just had a blast of nostalgia thinking about the MySpace videos Bart use to post, i never knew he grew this whole channel! Catch me up I wanna know the chisme(gossip)
@@carlmafioso8404 Bart and Geo the most scandalous...MFers got the old Barbell crew bailing out on then too. So not only JK but also Barbell Brigade side.
I stopped watching after an extremely disturbing ep where they tried to justify a female teacher taking advantage of a teen boy. Like it’s so cool and gave him street cred??? 🤢🤮
@@SuperLVang and they are kids. it’s like being 16 and having a crush on a 30 year old celeb it’s normal. it’s up to the adult to set a boundary because not only would you never want that to happen to your own child but maybe a 16 year old boy may think he wants that teacher but years later being with someone that took advantage of you will hit you hard emotionally.
Girl you done riled up all of the jk fans 😭 but I used to watch Jknews but they’ve always done some shit that I’ve side eyed so I’m here for these videos, I love the dirt
When Olivia left, was the first time I started side eyeing them. I loved her. She was so nice and TALENTED af. I didn’t stop watching them though. I eventually stopped because their content just got so bad to me. Bart…..I stopped liking him early on, I would just try to ignore him. But he got so insufferable after awhile. They just weren’t funny to me anymore.
I'm glad someone else is talking about this cause even though I love the crew as people the business was all messed up. And it was to be expected because they didn't have the management experience to keep things stable. When Oliva was talking about her pay and also David's involvement reminded me of Tiffany so much. Tiff also expressed she didn't get paid well or what she was owed unless it was seen as a "friend doing you a favor" and giving you money I owe just like Olivia and others when they finally got an accountant (which since Tiff makes more than most of them was kind of demeaning but that's a whole other story). And we all know as much as David says he wants to be neutral and stay out of drama while he gives facts he also speaks way out of his place. The whole one hour podcast low-key dragging Tiff that he eventually had to turn the comments off after "being ok with the backlash" smh 🤦🏽♀️ It just doesn't seem like a string of coincidences 🤷🏽♀️
Tiffany got paid. She made around 1k a week for jk news. Not bad for 4 hours filming. They lifted the veil on how it operates where they only film for 1 day a week for 4 hours. The workload has been greatly exaggerated and all parties have admitted that.
@@CommunistReaper They used to film ALL day, a full 8 hour shift AND Tiff had to memorize and learn articles throughout the week adding at least another 15-20 hours to her work week. They've also all admitted that many times they would even do a 12 hour shift when they were really popular and swamped. Yeah it's decent pay but on top of her own stuff she can still be overwhelmed not to mention she did WAY more work and still got paid way less than David (if my math is correct he had approximately a 66% increase in his pay in comparison to hers). And you're right but only about the past 2-3 or so years of JK. Like, we know she got paid, but should she be paid astronomically less than the guests for HOSTING the show and the main point of why, if she's doing well financially, did the owners offer her "exit pay" by saying, "if you want it, we know a lot of people rely on this money" which sounds pretty condensing coming from people who are also your friends.
I’m surprised no one talks about it , maybe everyone had forgotten of them .They are soo toxic especially David and Bart and they had let their ego go to the roof .
I don't think anyone cares about them anymore everyone moved on from them. Specially the OG fans they got older having jobs, college or having a family now. Some of there jokes wouldn't work now or else they be cancel idk how many times at this point. Joe needs to stop with the character he plays on video all the time it's annoying he really wants to be Bobby Lee so bad. Karma finally came for them there channel views aren't doing as well and they been stuck at 1.8M subscriber for longest time.
Y'all remember how briggy just all of a sudden disappeared, and the kwans didn't talk about her for months. Just carried on vlogging like she never ever existed. Also how fawn passed, and they picked up her ashes 6 months later, only after being reminded by the vet.🤦♂️ Just another insight of the weirdness
So I was an intern as well along with Olivia and everything that Bart and Joe said were true. These two were the best boss I have ever worked with and we were truly treated like family. I don't know where you are getting your information from but please do not spread slander for the best group of people I have ever worked with.
I grew up watching jk for like 6 years but stopped when I entered highschool I noticed how terrible they were subtle and in early 2020 it was the nail in the coffin. Bart had rocks for a brain and became a yapping parrot for republicans. Geo was the Yoko ono. Overall bad vibes
wow,.. honestly i searched up JK news tonight bc i had COMPLETELY forgotten ab them for years, and i wanted to check up on them but this was so disheartening to hear :/ i am on Olivia’s side for sure
Yes when olivia came forward about being fired in 2015 I thought it was fucked up but bart and Joe eventually made a response video a few months or so later addressing that they are still friends no beef and olivia was doing music for them. So I thought cool then just 2 weeks ago I found out tiff was fired and I realize welp they're doing the same whole thing again. Jk has come to shit after I stopped watching them in 2017 waited for more skits on jkfilms waited for their movie and never saw anything. Idk who's running jknews anymore I know bart and geo are in Nevada because I keep up with them on ig and Joe well Joe is Joe, and before all this David left jk to focus on himself and is now collaborating with tim even though he was never officially a member. They're going down the drain however the founders are already rich, just wish they kept to their roots
I knew that Olivia had left awhile back & I remember the drama but I never knew the actual real cause, ya know? Because there were so many drama I had no idea where it all began. Olivia was my favorite.
I am so glad someone is finally talking about this. I became a fan in 2014 and i've watched the jk fam go from their peak of unique content and just fun times to their worst of pure toxicity and only making decisions for money and blaming fans when they make mistakes. Idk the whole thing is a mess and the only person i really support somewhat at this point is tiff and maybe nikki because they worked hard for jk and got alot of shit in the end.
every time I see the drama and read or hear the alleged versions of what happened behind the scenes, I always think of that Dark Knight quote "You Either Die a Hero, or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become the Villain" What we see of onscreen personalities may be very different to what goes on behind the camera.
Use to watch it all the time when I was like 15-16 but then just stopped, then I saw a video pop up about 2years ago about a hot topic so I watch it, and a few other videos and…. Jeez it was like listening to a group of 13 years old trying to be edgy, or a stereotype of a frat house and these people literally are in their 30’s at this time. Tiffany was barely talking at that point and would try to say something to only get cut off, try to keep the others on track or stop them from saying something truly offensive. Tiffany was right in saying that these people and the channel have not grown up with their audience or really think about what they are putting out for the videos. Most people who defend their “humour” by calling it “edgy” are just being offensive, immature or simply rude.
David did make a response with some truths but he was coming from his “honorary member/guest of jk” perspective. He kept saying tiff made a lot from an episode (which she definitely isn’t broke, even she admits that) but he failed to mention his pay rate was different from hers lol. Among other things, just a bunch of miscommunication but David really didn’t have to chyme in bc it mainly involved Bart Joe and tiff.. especially since David said he’s no longer doing jk news etc I don’t think he should’ve butted in when he didn’t know tiffs situation. (I respect him for standing up to someone bashing on his friends company,don’t get me wrong) but he himself said he doesn’t do much with jknews anymore and it wasn’t his business or “side” to tell. idk just a big mess really
They use to get a lot of money from their jk channels, but now they branched off onto separate channels, barbell, their food companies, sponsorships on IG etc. jk doesn’t make as much anymore after all the flagging and policies it kept breaking
I think the biggest problem is the relationship the group had. Some of them, by the looks of it, just had a more personal relationship outside the business. Like Olivia who was doing the stuff she was doing because of her relationship with Joe and Bart. That was her choice. Of course, when that relationship was over, Olivia now felt like she deserved something from the company. Their personal relationships really interfered with the business size. I am just talkign crap. I don't know the full story and most importantly I'm not them. Just sharing how I would analyze it.
I started watching these guys in middle school and thought they were hilarious. At the time UA-cam was just full of edgy shit and commentary channels like leafy and idubzz so you could imagine what kind of kid I was at the time. I eventually started to come to realize a lot of thing about the channel. For one they’re extremely anti-black and when you call it out their fans go feral and call you sensitive. They’re also very ignorant when it comes to politics and social issues, especially Bart who will literally bend over backward to defend the police and military like his life depends on it. Overall the whole channel has always been weird and I’m glad ppl are actually starting to acknowledge it.
@@__L__837 which would be paid internships and agreed upon before they ever start working at the company. If they agreed to work for experience they need then that's what they agreed to like most interns. If they weren't ok with those terms they should have worked somewhere else. You can't get mad at a business for not paying interns who agreed to not be payed.
Long story short Bart and Jo were making hella money and their tax people said spend all the money you can on whatever stuff so you don’t have to lose money to pay taxes. Bart dated Geo and Olivia broke up with Jo. Olivia wanted more money, but they’re like nah. Olivia definitely didn’t do all the work, her new channel wasn’t successful. Her music wasn’t successful.She tried out for a singing competition and further embarrassed herself.
what happened with tiffany?? i used to watch jk RELIGIOUSLY and i remember this drama happening real time, but i havent watched in years… can someone explain what happened w/tiff?
Omg I've never heard of Olivia and she was so hard working the engine of that company I really wish I knew about her. They are disgraceful paying her that low for that much work. They keep saying this is a family no, Its not a family its a work place and folk should be payed a living wage and know their schedule in advance and there should be no secrets if its done but the book, she should he able to talk openly about her work, if they have to hide something that's when you know they are a shift business.
I remember that Olivia drama going down when I was in middle school and as a kid of course I knew nothing about running a businesses. But I remeber instantly thinking the hate she was getting by the blinded fans was so unfair. Looking back as an adult, it's even worse than I realized smh
Sucks for Olivia because had she kept grinding hard for the company she would've financially benefited majorly. Her following would've grown even bigger than it currently is & more business opportunities would've presented themselves... Was she the only employee that they had at that time? Because if she was thn she definitely should've been getting paid more. If not wonder how her pay was compared to the other employees because they must've been getting paid half of what she was since her job was literally doing everything
whats sad is that their jkn videos were mostly unproblematic and apolitical during their peak. like when they got their most views - esp on jkn - was when they reported on funny stuff. then the altright thing got super popular on youtube and they pandered to that by covering stories to bash on "sjws" and "snowflakes". they purposefully cultivated a fandom full of racist white incels, which is also why julia or geo got a lot of hate comments for simply existing - bc they are women. also tiff sometimes. i checked out some of their videos like two years ago and noticed they seemed to steer a bit more liberal bc of the whole upheaval of more progressive politics on youtube again. they always just pander and exploit according to whats popular at the time, so they def know what they're doing. now dont get me wrong, they are still right wing libertarians deep down still, its just that i feel like they suddenly amped that up during that 2015-16 time when the altright got huge on youtube. i stopped watching around the time when that mayo steve dude joined, i always got racist vibes from him and ofc i was correct. also it always rubbed me the wrong way how joe treated his gfs and how they bullied josh. karma is really getting back at them bc i honestly thing they single handedly turned a lot of young ppl into alt righters
Unless I am completely ignorant aren’t most interns unpaid? Most interns are working for experience, something to put on their resume, no? If that was an agreement that they started with and both parties agreed to, I don’t see why they deserve any backlash on that.
Its per state but there are requirements to be qualified/considered an intern & where no pay is ok. Olivia explained this to Tiff when she spoke out which I touched on in part 2.
If there is an employee/employer relationship it must legally be paid even if they are interns. In Olivia's case, she wasn't a newbie learning things from experienced people, she did most of the work by herself while the 2 bosses were cheer leading for her on the side.
There are plenty of businesses and/or entertainment companies who still aim to make a profit without being complete dickheads and treat people like shit...it isn't an excuse. Stop trying to tell people to overlook things just because it's a business.
I never knew none of this as before the pandemic I regularly watched and they seemed okay. The last thing I remember was Joe and Jess breaking up and still being cool but I could tell they were kind of sad about it especially Jess. Then I had major issues in my life when the pandemic hit and wasn't able to keep up with their channel. Now 2022 I hear this, but all I will say and be wise about all this regardless of who did what and who was right or wrong cause as a viewer and fan only I cannot know what really actually happened to make judgments and be seriously invested as I see some of these other comments to be confident in affirming what really happened because only those who are or were a part of jk only knows. So I don't want to be a fool in making claims from what it may seem to be or been told by unless those involve all admit to what it was which most likely won't be shared cause it's a private matter in the end.
Im a year late but if you ever see this i just want you to know that you strawman argument-ed the hell out of David. David never said he was neutral. He said it was none of the fans business. YOU said that David wanted to be neutral and started attacking him for what you think he said.
I used to love watching JK anything. It was around the time Geo got pregnant where I started to not watch as often. By the time Geo gave birth I had unsubscribed. It was just different.. not the same. After Tiffany was let go and she put a video out about what happened it all seemed to start making sense. The owners/higher ups in the crew are very unprofessional. I recently clicked on one of their newer videos just to see how things were going and it’s a lot of new faces and same old Joe. Joe is still the same guy he’s always been. I’m not sure if I expected him to be a little more mature or different, but that wasn’t the case. I’m honestly surprised the channel is still going. The video I watched they were saying how they have trouble getting guests and needed more people to be on their videos. The downfall is kinda sad, but the people who run it have nobody to blame but themselves.
After not watching for a few years I check it out to see all the women (save Geo, Bart's wife) gone and it's now a BroCast where everyone sprinted to the political right. I was like "what the hell happened" so thanks for making these videos
Watched since 2012 and I knew something was off when crucial faces didn't return after a while. btw, that fat guy isn't to be taken seriously in many levels no matter what caliber of adulthood (in any society).
Most of the people in jknews moved on on their own or just couldn’t be apart anymore like Jess didn’t want to be apart of it anymore. And others just moved on to better opportunities like Gina Julia.
I came into JKnews way after Olivia left, Joe was already dating Jess. But the way they talked about Olivia was always with a bitter, shady allusion, it felt weird but since it was already 5 yrs ago atm i didn’t feel like getting into the drama. I kept watching and I found their individual vlogs, though I really only watched Bart and Geo’s. I definitely noticed each person’s negative qualities in JKNews; sometimes they could get extra mean or overly defensive on some topics; one person always seemed to give misinformation; sometimes it’d feel like a competition for who could cause the most laughter/ruckus. But that was fine, that’s all friend groups. Idk what happened, but after a while, the articles just stopped being interesting. They became regular news titles about celebrities or debates I already see on every social media. Second, it felt off putting that Joe and Bart always tried to talk about their tough upbringing and how they experienced hoodlife too. They felt too eager to put on a Cholo facade and every person they brought in had the same “laid back gangsta” fake persona, except Josh and Julia, who were often the butt of people’s jokes too. So because of this, I watched their vlogs more. After watching just their vlogs, it definitely felt like something was off in the main group. I understand expanding your business and having multiple hobbies but it felt like everything was a money grab. At one point they tried getting a mtv show? And it was early on too. not trying to doubt their talents but their lives or careers were not that interesting and if they got a pilot light, it definitely would’ve been everyone faking how much fun they actually have, it would’ve been overwhelming. Then everyone kept taking vacations and moving?? Where is this money coming from but in the vlogs they also talk about hiatuses a lot? Then Bart and geo kept moving every month? Plus had a gym brand? And a kid? It would’ve been great if the rest of JK didn’t fall off, but it was obviously affecting their production and quality. Then one by one, ppl left the company or stopped talking to the main part of the group. Ik ppl grow apart but they were already in their 30s, lived in the same area, shared a company, raised some of their kids in the group, it seems odd that they quote unquote “just didn’t fit anymore”. Everyone that left has released statements that’s what happened and it’s still “love” but it doesn’t seem like the whole story. They all seem too tired to even tell the truth cause they probably know Joe and Bart are gonna lose their shit on them.
I started watching them in 2013 when I was 12, I was such a big fan cause I thought they were so cool and seemed so genuine. It was my dream to work with/for Jk. But over the last four years watching them has felt like watching a slow motion train Reck. Still a big David So fan!
I used to watch Jk everyday, I even made a fan page about them but as I grew up I started noticing small things that didn’t sit well with me. Like how Steve and David have this God complex about them, Steve was talking about going to like a UA-camCon or something like that and he was basically Gatekeeping Sketch Comedy and saying how these kids nowadays have no idea what it is. Basically he was being bitter because they’re more famous than him doing tiktoks and stuff like that. I watched some of Bart and Geo’s vlogs for a while but back when they had dogs I hated how irresponsible they were. They had a dog meatloaf that was sometimes aggressive towards other dogs and they still took him to the dog park and let him off leash. But I brushed it off then as Takia grew he was kinda becoming a spoiled brat so I stopped watching them. I gave up on Joe a while ago I never really liked him and I’m glad Jess got away from him and can be with someone more grown up.
Yeah, taikas spoilt behaviour was too much for me too. The way he always hit Bart showed that Bart wasn't teaching respect, and that maybe geo wasn't allowing Bart to be a father, but rather a playmate.
@@thejoke2791 Yeah before Taika was born Bart talked all this smack about how he would discipline him and not let him become a brat but they haven't. I know they love their son deeply but sometimes it feels like they use him for more views
@@moonmoon7319 Before, when he was still a baby, they said that they wouldn't have him on many videos as he gets older. Now that he's older, taika is the main focus of their videos.🤦♂️
@@thejoke2791 lol maybe they think they can be like Tiff and Casey and get those family friendly endorsement which will obviously never happen because of their filthy mouths.
I've seen like 6 different cast members from 2014 to 2017 and that really makes you wonder if the company is legit. Also sometimes they say some stupid ass shit, even if it was a joke it was dumb. Like when bart ask is one of their other friends liked being sexually assaulted after he told the story. And I'm pretty sure bart was serious. I dont watch them anymore but I not shock to hear about things like this. The tiff thing though kinda shocked me.
Running a company isn't easy, anyone who thinks it's easy dealing with people and their issues plus you have your own issues is easy. Hasn't built anything that requires people to work for you. . Everyone thinks they did the most work and deserve the most return/pay. . To run a business successfully you have to become a wolf. You're either a wolf through and through or your are a wolf with a heart. . The jk guys tried to have a heart, whether it works out or not is better than then trying to be wolves through and through.
Thank you. The comments and this person who made the video have never run a company, no offence, and all the issues and responsibilities that come with it. Wait til they encounter real world issues. It's the same thing every where you go. It's nothing new, it's not easy, we all trying to make the best decisions we can of the certain moment. They can't flop their whole company for one person. To give Olivia the amount she wanted, was to kill JK. Obviously they're not gonna do that. It just started running at that time.
This has to be the most intelligent reaction to this video I’ve read so far,everyone in here acting like they know everything,anyone of us would be hurt if we felt we weren’t getting what we deserved,y’all need to stop jumping to conclusions,these channels will pursue a narrative that would get us all to interact ,they’re just trying to profit off this like most people on here.
i'm so glad JKNews has reached 2million subs and weed out all the haters and super woke fans who don't know how life works. Now JK is more authentic and more successful ever.
i dont think you know they did offered tiffany severance pay. they even discussed with tiffany and thought everything was good. but tiffany wanted discussion in person. but joe was in hawaii. tiffany got upset at bart and joe took so long for them to talk j person so she uploaded the video on her channels. how can joe come right back when he was still in hawaii
This shouldn’t be normalized though. Interns are still workers and should still be paid. Employers who give the excuse of paying interns with experience is shitty and exploiting people.
@@bigchris757 People who have a mindset like yours sound very privileged. Internships, like this case, can be like full time jobs and can take up a lot of time when mixed with other life priorities. I've heard many stories of people struggling or having to pass an unpaid internship because they had bills to pay and a family to support. Sometimes people cannot simply work an unpaid internship in exchanged for "valuable experience" as much as they want to.
@@Infinitykk life is not fair, once you understand that the better you'll be. Internships are not for everyone. Depending on your life choices or struggles you may have to work harder than the next person.
@@Infinitykk I think . . . You have it mixed up. I think people who expect internships to be paid (which, who wouldn't want that, right?) is privileged. Being privileged means demanding the right to things to . . . Well most internships are unpaid. While Olivia was very capable . . . JK was practically a start up at that time. Despite her doing the brunt work of the logistics, it started with Bart and Joe's skits, them in front of the camera, which created the following in the first place . . .
Dam, growing up i've took a lot life lessons from JK, it sucks to see the og fam disintegrate. Although its great that they are happy in their own separate ways.
Toxicity i definitely believe, but the money thing, so many people dont realise that joe and bart were dirt broke poor and many of their “cast” or “members” knew what they were getting into. Many of them were literally working for free, many of them were free interns. I can definitely see toxicity in many situations especially from david sometimes. But the money situation keep being brought up and ive followed them since they started. Ive fallen off and come back to the channel over the years. And we have to realise many of these “money” jabs are all during the beginning of their business like i said when they were dirt poor. Jus tryna open sum eyes but also not disagreeing with everything.
You know yelp is bs right, if you dont paid them for advertising they will highlight the negative reviews up first, and put the positive reviews in the background. Lot of youtube videos about yelp, u might want to check them out.
I stopped watching them regularly around 2016 and would watch a video or 2 every few months. Then around 2020 I couldn't stand watching them no more. Grown adults acting like immature children 🙄.
Anyway I think it’s weird how they exploited every good moments and bad moments in their lives? Like Julia and Tommy breaking up and posting a video of her breaking down in tears or Geo and Bart having a baby
Julia and Tommy’s breakup video posts were unnecessary but I think Bart and Geo having a baby is worth documenting! Lots of channels upload birth vlogs!!
I used to watch JK News (as well as the main casts' individual channels) ALL. THE. TIME! Eventually I lost interest in them and haven't watched them in years. I kind of lost my respect for them especially Bart for saying the N-word in one of his old skits, it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
@@guccimane99 it is ultimately the same word, the only difference is what accent you're saying it in. a common feature in African American Vernacular English is non-rhoticity, which is when you drop the r at the end of words (similar to British accents). N*gga is how n*gg*r is pronounced in that dialect. its best not to say it if you're nonblack, just out of respect for the black community.
I never liked David he was always so disrespectful towards others I.dont like the way he carries himself, he has negative energy behind his words when he speaks to his friends.
Anytime a company says “we’re like family” red flag cause of boundaries within the job will be crossed.
Well the original group were just friends.

@@3twelvealrenz0 well, others have noticed it too, so...
these guys were really my childhood, watched them for 12years, makes me sad seeing how this has turned out. cant bear to watch anymore cant remember last video i watched
Same, watched every video for 3-4 years straight. I had an android so I would actually download old episodes and listen to them like a podcast 😂. But now it’s dead, & has been ever since they introduced Steve & Nikki as permanent members
@@russellwestgoat766 My exact thoughts, Steve changed the entire dynamic and for the worst, sad that they didn't see that and even favorit him over Tif. It was shity how they treated her.
@@russellwestgoat766 Steve and Nikki were my favorite guests until that video with Shane Dawson popped up. That was the last time I watched jknews but I should’ve been stopped watching them
@@flavialm1 look, either way, theyre crap without host/mediator. Tiff and Steve were good hosts of their own, but take those out and its all cringefest. Especially Bart. All their joke are senile, all sexual etc. Miss the ladies in the mix because there was great chemistry there. Back then it was like all good family/friends talking, now it all sounds like a locker room talk.
@@angelicac2187 agree but I believe things whent downhill after Steve joined in, it changed the entire vibe, it went from friends chating at a bar to drunk guys at a frat party.
Literally checked back in after four years only to find out the entire crew has basically fallen apart. Completely in shock. Idk how to describe it but it’s like finding out a childhood friend went to prison.
Its like visiting your aunty house & find out your cousins moved out cause they had issues
They're all together still just behind the scenes or got diff jobs lmao
Lol Geo having a midlife crisis in Vegas. Still partying in clubs and dying her hair platinum gold. Haha
@@sayjaibao01188 You aint lying and all the important people they pushed out to fit an agenda
Dude I used to watch them everyday before going to work and even after, I kind of forgot they existed.
All I gotta say is... David has gotta be the most self-righteous, pick-me dude I've ever seen. He just thinks if he barks at you as loud as he can with all the curse words in his limited vocab, that you'll cower away and hopefully Bart/Joe will reward him with a treat. He also thinks if he calls himself neutral or unbiased over and over, ppl won't notice how condescending/threatening he's being to "foes" of JK. Idk I'm sure he's not a bad person but he just conducts himself in such a ridiculous way
I have always thought this!
He's annoying and fake
I agree with you!
It’s a shame because I really enjoyed his podcasts 😞
Damnn is this where all the lil haters who got nth im their life come to complain about ppl? Sad lol
I used to watch JK religiously, but not anymore. Without tiff, geo, Gina, jess,…it’s just not the same. Big Moods is good, but not great. All their channels are now my 2nd or 3rd option on UA-cam. With everything now days, not all business will last. It WAS a great ride. They all seem happy where they’re currently at. Joe found love, Bart & geo are in Vegas doing family things, tiff and case on their first child together. I secretly think Gina is super rich!!!! She’s got her nerdy gaming life. Jessica is no longer depressed, joe’s D was not enough for her hahahaha…EVERYONE IS HAPPY.
Gina is working for G4TV now which they are gonna come back with a new tv show next week on the 16th of November.
Jess was depressed? I didnt know i thought she was ok, i guess from the look of her i guess she look kinda depressed.
You're comment reminds of a movie of young gang friends who left the street life behind: one goes to college, another finally started working a job, another moved far away - signs that *there won't be a part 2 or 3*
crazy to think they were all meant to be happy, but only when they parted
@twentyfivekgplants tomake1kgbeef I think she had some drama with the girls. And she's not on JK because she takes care of Barbell and the kid while Bart films with JK. It's really sad that's he doesn't get to be a part of Tiff's pregnancy since Tiff was so involved with hers.
We're like family, but don't give Tiffany severance pay after firing her and she's pregnant with the guy that produce your videos from day one. While Joe and Bart making millions off crypto. These people are nasty
from day one, they only paid casey and didnt pay themselves, she was also offered severance pay but declined it, always complained and wanted to leave, said shes outgrown the humor. She would get fired acting like that at any job.
Well since she has a baby then they should give tye baby severance pay as well .
@@brandonlee1947 this video was recommended after yesterday I was watching tiff's video. I feel like tiff never said anything about about them and actually very grateful. Your statement suggested she's some snobby ungrateful person. I'm very disappointed because they're were a part of our childhood. Overall everything fallback to Joe&Bart. Their characters and leadership.
SHE RUINED JK NEWS GLAD SHE DIDNT GET PAID SHE CAN MOOCH OFF CASEY NOW
what tiffany said isn’t true. they already talked about it but she was just vengeful
From the screenshot of Tiffany's message towards Olivia -- Tiffany was rude & and dragging Olivia (for her personal experience) only for it to happen to her NEXT. Stating "don't let yourself be persuaded by one side of the story" while supporting reducing Olivia to a disgruntled ex-girlfriend and employee. & now, Tiffany is trying to get her "one side of the story" out there while being painted (and discredited) as an emotional, financially ungrateful, disgruntled employee. Not fun is it, Tiffany? Olivia is owed an apology by you.
Lol the streets haven't forgotten.
What happened to Tiffany ? I thought she said nothing bad
David sometimes just says things that does not make sense or have any validity to it. He says things that are at the top of his mind. That can be a good and bad thing in some ways.
That is the way he is. YOu vietnamese much?
I grew up watching jk news as a middle/high schooler. There were some things that the crew said or did that made younger me uncomfortable/feel some type of way, and now that I'm older I understand a lot better now. I cannot believe the stuff they said and did was thought to be okay. I still remember UA-cam was very different back then. Tons of stuff was brushed off. As much as people like to say "this generation is so sensitive", etc, it's just that these bad things are being called out now.
Thank you for making these vids!
i guess depends on your own sense of humor i love it 😭👍
i don’t think you know what happened between them. tiffany needs to understand at the end of the day jknews is still a business. if you used to watch jknews all the time you will know tiffany is highly sensitive person who can’t express herself.
@@jianlu2878 yeah frl
Olivia legit did everything. I’m surprise she did this for so long. Glad she quit tho, not worth wasting anymore time.
olivia did everything because she was dating joe at the time. so she felt like she has ownership in the company. also olivia was intern.
It seemed like it was her choice though, not that they demanded for her to do it. As that other comment mentioned and how she also said it in that clip they showed, she enjoyed doing that stuff and considered jk as part of her own.
Damn this hurts lowkey I used to watch them daily back high school and middle school. I stopped watching around my junior year cause I found interest in other things and I just came back to this. But everything comes to an end I hope they all learn and grow from this experience
I had never heard any of this before and had no clue it had happened. I was a big fan for a number so years until Bart when on JKNews and recalled a time him a some friends sexually assulted a fellow cadet while laughing about the incident. It was the most disturbing thing I'd ever seen on the internet and the rest of the cast just brushed it off. They left the video up for a while too. I couldnt stand too look at any of them after that. Clearly not good people. I don't understand how they didn't get their channels shut down for putting that on UA-cam.
It wasn't a while it was only a few hours or so cause when I went to watch the new jknews videos later that day I didn't see the video and found out that they had taken one of the new videos down and why they took it down thru the comments of one of the other videos.
Didn’t know people can’t grow from their mistakes from when they were young, must not be a human trait I guess according to you
@@raedenpantaleon7626 explain how you see laughing about committing such a horrific act as growing?
@@raedenpantaleon7626 you cant grow out of a sexual assault. If it happened he should pay the consequences
@@raedenpantaleon7626 i remember that video and bart showed no remorse about the incident… plus its not the first time he has said stuff of a concerning matter w no remorse or sympathy. this is the same guy who doesnt believe boys can be raped by women bc they have to enjoy it….and the same guys who thinks the extreme hazing in the military is fine…doesnt show much growth
I was a fan, but I guess I just wasn't interested in them anymore by mid-2018. I guess it's a mixture of things they've said/did that I just can't defend anymore, the changeups, the shady stuff, me having a life and growing out of JK, ect. I haven't been watching their content since, but I have heard of their recent problems, changes, and drama occurring from them. It's sad watching them fall apart like this and seeing JK (especially the two owners) being shady. Mind you. I was one of their BIGGEST fans. I used to watch them everyday, especially JKNews. Of course, I'm happy for all of them (current and former JK members) that they have their own personal families/goals. But JK is not for me anymore. So I mean no offense to current JK fans. If you still watch them, that's cool. You do you.
I’ve never liked David. He acts all hard but I’d love to see him in a real fight
he's been training mma for a couple years, idk how you think he comes off as hard tho his personality is pretty tame imo
@@oz9504 have you not heard any of the stories he tells? He tries to act like a total hard ass & it’s cringe as hell.
@@Voodoovixenn yeah I listen to his podcast, I'd say majority of the stories he tells make him seem like a normal guy to me, he's just a bit opinionated. And for the stories that make him seem hard they aren't that uncommon for me, I live in North LB, CA between Compton and Paramount, folks around here, including myself, all got similar stories.
@@oz9504 same here i am from that same area also and a lot of us grew up this way and can tell these stories it isnt uncommon. even if u didnt want to be or act a type of way u kinda had to sadly if not others would eat u alive.
@@Voodoovixenn a lot of thing are not serious and i’m sure everyone know david made up a bunch of stories. david even said if there is real fight he would rub
I don’t like how Bart and Joe fired Tiff while she was going through so much loss in her life just because they wanted to have an all male cast for JK News….from there the channel pretty much died. Even though Tiff did mention she wasn’t all that into it anymore she was carrying the show
The channel was on a downfall way before tiff stuff.
@@dangda-ww7de
Yeah, once UA-cam changed the algorithm. It was all down hill.
kinda rly depends. tiff lost passion for it and wasn’t rly into it. i find the videos way more funny now than i did back then when certain ppl would get offended by comments. but i guess it’s all personal opinion. the channel is still all jokes and that would appease to some crowds and not others
you do know jknews is a business. tiffany doesn’t really contribute much to channel. she often talked made very bias expression
People who "defend" JK or say this video shouldn't be made, don't seem to look at JK from a different perspective or may still view them as what they are back then (they aren't anymore). People who also say that this youtuber is just doing a video for subs and cash grab don't know what they're talking about (FYI - Making UA-cam money isn't as easy as it was when Jk and the crew started doing UA-cam. It's f'in hard getting that UA-cam money now). This is all old crap that has been exposed and out there. You just gotta literally have to dig and you'll find all the shady stuff and that's what this youtuber literally did. They just literally dug and found it lol.
To also go and say that "they/we" don't know stuff because "we/they" aren't in the inside like David isn't that great either, as David is a bias asf "family" member of JK. Whose side do you think he's gonna take? lol.
I am unbias and if anything I could care less, this is just entertainment for me. BUT if you ask me and how I feel. I'll tell you - I used to LOVE JK and all there sub-channels. When the Olivia situation occurred, I basically said what some have said - "we don't know the situation, we aren't on the inside". BUT as life went on, I remember seeing ONE comment on a UA-cam video that made me start question stuff, which the comment said (and paraphrasing don't remember the whole quote)- "Geo and the JK members are a business first and foremost and only sell you the image of "family" *insert Fast and Furious Dom gif/mems*. People who keep saying they want to work for JK don't understand the fact that they are a tight knit group of people and won't just accept anyone off the street. They sell the image of family to get people to buy there stuff and support them". That was the quote that opened my eyes and made me question JK as more videos of them come out and I watch them. I don't remember when I stopped watching them, but I did. It wasn't until literally a few months ago, when I finally remembered them and decided to watch one ep. of JkNews that - My gosh was it not watchable anymore AND that's when all the dirt came up when I questioned why some people where gone. AND low and behold, it was easily found on the web of all the shady stuff they've done that was buried beneath the dirt.
If you started out as a fan watching them when they were in there prime and watch them now. Most people would likely say JK isn't what they use to be and are quite sus now. Not only that but there main demographic has moved on and have grown up (I'm one of them). They are a former shell of themselves and if anything are lost in this "new" generation of UA-camrs and are basically misleading the few people they can still get.
Man wtf happened?? I just had a blast of nostalgia thinking about the MySpace videos Bart use to post, i never knew he grew this whole channel! Catch me up I wanna know the chisme(gossip)

The one I don't like the most is Gina, especially after the Josh drama. David is ignorant af.
Wait what happened w Gina & Josh?
Yep, shit was'n t that serious but she tore it up
so what happened between both of them?
Girl you done riled up all of the jk fans 😭 but I used to watch Jknews but they’ve always done some shit that I’ve side eyed so I’m here for these videos, I love the dirt
When Olivia left, was the first time I started side eyeing them. I loved her. She was so nice and TALENTED af. I didn’t stop watching them though. I eventually stopped because their content just got so bad to me. Bart…..I stopped liking him early on, I would just try to ignore him. But he got so insufferable after awhile. They just weren’t funny to me anymore.
I'm glad someone else is talking about this cause even though I love the crew as people the business was all messed up. And it was to be expected because they didn't have the management experience to keep things stable.
When Oliva was talking about her pay and also David's involvement reminded me of Tiffany so much. Tiff also expressed she didn't get paid well or what she was owed unless it was seen as a "friend doing you a favor" and giving you money I owe just like Olivia and others when they finally got an accountant (which since Tiff makes more than most of them was kind of demeaning but that's a whole other story).
And we all know as much as David says he wants to be neutral and stay out of drama while he gives facts he also speaks way out of his place. The whole one hour podcast low-key dragging Tiff that he eventually had to turn the comments off after "being ok with the backlash" smh 🤦🏽♀️
It just doesn't seem like a string of coincidences 🤷🏽♀️
Tiffany got paid. She made around 1k a week for jk news. Not bad for 4 hours filming. They lifted the veil on how it operates where they only film for 1 day a week for 4 hours. The workload has been greatly exaggerated and all parties have admitted that.
@@CommunistReaper They used to film ALL day, a full 8 hour shift AND Tiff had to memorize and learn articles throughout the week adding at least another 15-20 hours to her work week. They've also all admitted that many times they would even do a 12 hour shift when they were really popular and swamped. Yeah it's decent pay but on top of her own stuff she can still be overwhelmed not to mention she did WAY more work and still got paid way less than David (if my math is correct he had approximately a 66% increase in his pay in comparison to hers). And you're right but only about the past 2-3 or so years of JK. Like, we know she got paid, but should she be paid astronomically less than the guests for HOSTING the show and the main point of why, if she's doing well financially, did the owners offer her "exit pay" by saying, "if you want it, we know a lot of people rely on this money" which sounds pretty condensing coming from people who are also your friends.
I’m surprised no one talks about it , maybe everyone had forgotten of them .They are soo toxic especially David and Bart and they had let their ego go to the roof .
I don't think anyone cares about them anymore everyone moved on from them. Specially the OG fans they got older having jobs, college or having a family now. Some of there jokes wouldn't work now or else they be cancel idk how many times at this point. Joe needs to stop with the character he plays on video all the time it's annoying he really wants to be Bobby Lee so bad. Karma finally came for them there channel views aren't doing as well and they been stuck at 1.8M subscriber for longest time.
Money changes people
Y'all remember how briggy just all of a sudden disappeared, and the kwans didn't talk about her for months. Just carried on vlogging like she never ever existed.

So I was an intern as well along with Olivia and everything that Bart and Joe said were true. These two were the best boss I have ever worked with and we were truly treated like family. I don't know where you are getting your information from but please do not spread slander for the best group of people I have ever worked with.
Hey man, I believe Peter shin over this channel
I grew up watching jk for like 6 years but stopped when I entered highschool I noticed how terrible they were subtle and in early 2020 it was the nail in the coffin. Bart had rocks for a brain and became a yapping parrot for republicans. Geo was the Yoko ono. Overall bad vibes
Yup
Spot on.
wow,.. honestly i searched up JK news tonight bc i had COMPLETELY forgotten ab them for years, and i wanted to check up on them but this was so disheartening to hear :/ i am on Olivia’s side for sure
Yes when olivia came forward about being fired in 2015 I thought it was fucked up but bart and Joe eventually made a response video a few months or so later addressing that they are still friends no beef and olivia was doing music for them. So I thought cool then just 2 weeks ago I found out tiff was fired and I realize welp they're doing the same whole thing again. Jk has come to shit after I stopped watching them in 2017 waited for more skits on jkfilms waited for their movie and never saw anything. Idk who's running jknews anymore I know bart and geo are in Nevada because I keep up with them on ig and Joe well Joe is Joe, and before all this David left jk to focus on himself and is now collaborating with tim even though he was never officially a member. They're going down the drain however the founders are already rich, just wish they kept to their roots
2014
I knew that Olivia had left awhile back & I remember the drama but I never knew the actual real cause, ya know? Because there were so many drama I had no idea where it all began. Olivia was my favorite.
olivia and joe was dating at the time. she was hired as intern. when olivia dated she wanted to do more work for company because joe is cofounder !
THIS IS CRAZZYYY!!!! a perfect example of how what we see on our screens are NOT reality
I am so glad someone is finally talking about this. I became a fan in 2014 and i've watched the jk fam go from their peak of unique content and just fun times to their worst of pure toxicity and only making decisions for money and blaming fans when they make mistakes. Idk the whole thing is a mess and the only person i really support somewhat at this point is tiff and maybe nikki because they worked hard for jk and got alot of shit in the end.
every time I see the drama and read or hear the alleged versions of what happened behind the scenes, I always think of that Dark Knight quote "You Either Die a Hero, or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become the Villain"
What we see of onscreen personalities may be very different to what goes on behind the camera.
Why so serious???
We're Just Kidding.
Use to watch it all the time when I was like 15-16 but then just stopped, then I saw a video pop up about 2years ago about a hot topic so I watch it, and a few other videos and…. Jeez it was like listening to a group of 13 years old trying to be edgy, or a stereotype of a frat house and these people literally are in their 30’s at this time. Tiffany was barely talking at that point and would try to say something to only get cut off, try to keep the others on track or stop them from saying something truly offensive. Tiffany was right in saying that these people and the channel have not grown up with their audience or really think about what they are putting out for the videos. Most people who defend their “humour” by calling it “edgy” are just being offensive, immature or simply rude.
JK has always been strongly clique-y, and certain individuals scenarios and cringey, uncomfortable stories overshadow others and get dismissed.
I’m happy someone is talking about it , I hope you do upload the rest
smh people with bad comprehension skills hating on this video, what else is new
I stopped watching after had enough of David crapping on races anything other than his own. About 2-3 years ago
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
If you want to know all sides to JK drama, go watch David So’s response on Tiff’s video.
I'm pretty sure that was deleted not long after tiff did a rebuttal to it.
David did make a response with some truths but he was coming from his “honorary member/guest of jk” perspective. He kept saying tiff made a lot from an episode (which she definitely isn’t broke, even she admits that) but he failed to mention his pay rate was different from hers lol. Among other things, just a bunch of miscommunication but David really didn’t have to chyme in bc it mainly involved Bart Joe and tiff.. especially since David said he’s no longer doing jk news etc I don’t think he should’ve butted in when he didn’t know tiffs situation. (I respect him for standing up to someone bashing on his friends company,don’t get me wrong) but he himself said he doesn’t do much with jknews anymore and it wasn’t his business or “side” to tell. idk just a big mess really
David be lying thru his ass. Lol
How did Bart and joe make their money, was it just the channels and barbell or did they do some stuff on the side
All the channels they had were making mad money until youtube shut that down.
They were making mad stacks until UA-cam changed their policies and algorithm
They use to get a lot of money from their jk channels, but now they branched off onto separate channels, barbell, their food companies, sponsorships on IG etc. jk doesn’t make as much anymore after all the flagging and policies it kept breaking
I think the biggest problem is the relationship the group had. Some of them, by the looks of it, just had a more personal relationship outside the business. Like Olivia who was doing the stuff she was doing because of her relationship with Joe and Bart. That was her choice. Of course, when that relationship was over, Olivia now felt like she deserved something from the company.
Their personal relationships really interfered with the business size.
I am just talkign crap. I don't know the full story and most importantly I'm not them. Just sharing how I would analyze it.
2 years later and get are still doing better than their haters.
I started watching these guys in middle school and thought they were hilarious. At the time UA-cam was just full of edgy shit and commentary channels like leafy and idubzz so you could imagine what kind of kid I was at the time. I eventually started to come to realize a lot of thing about the channel. For one they’re extremely anti-black and when you call it out their fans go feral and call you sensitive. They’re also very ignorant when it comes to politics and social issues, especially Bart who will literally bend over backward to defend the police and military like his life depends on it. Overall the whole channel has always been weird and I’m glad ppl are actually starting to acknowledge it.
Bart's more or less a full on open trump supporter nowadays. Sucks to see, but it makes sense looking back
@@wesleypatterson2284just because someone has a different view doesn't mean you juet dont like them any more
"Unpaid interns, who were not being compensated" isn't that all interns?
Some interns are paid
@@__L__837 which would be paid internships and agreed upon before they ever start working at the company. If they agreed to work for experience they need then that's what they agreed to like most interns. If they weren't ok with those terms they should have worked somewhere else. You can't get mad at a business for not paying interns who agreed to not be payed.
In California there's certain requirements.
@@sayjaibao01188 unpaid interns are allowed in California.
@@divardo1408 except she did she and she did win because legally she was in the right.
Long story short Bart and Jo were making hella money and their tax people said spend all the money you can on whatever stuff so you don’t have to lose money to pay taxes. Bart dated Geo and Olivia broke up with Jo. Olivia wanted more money, but they’re like nah. Olivia definitely didn’t do all the work, her new channel wasn’t successful. Her music wasn’t successful.She tried out for a singing competition and further embarrassed herself.
Forgot 'Ask The Feels' and 'Just Kidding Gaming'.....both dead.
what happened with tiffany?? i used to watch jk RELIGIOUSLY and i remember this drama happening real time, but i havent watched in years… can someone explain what happened w/tiff?
tiff said it on a video search for it.
Go to her channel. Tiff and case. Scroll down the videos. You'll find it
Where did you find the deleted vlog at 4:18?
I haven’t watched JK News in almost 2 years it’s such a shame it’s dying off
Excellent stuff. These people are vile and needs to be exposed.
Fr
Omg I've never heard of Olivia and she was so hard working the engine of that company I really wish I knew about her. They are disgraceful paying her that low for that much work. They keep saying this is a family no, Its not a family its a work place and folk should be payed a living wage and know their schedule in advance and there should be no secrets if its done but the book, she should he able to talk openly about her work, if they have to hide something that's when you know they are a shift business.
the way they always had new people who would just dissapear with no explanation speaks for itself
I remember that Olivia drama going down when I was in middle school and as a kid of course I knew nothing about running a businesses. But I remeber instantly thinking the hate she was getting by the blinded fans was so unfair. Looking back as an adult, it's even worse than I realized smh
Sucks for Olivia because had she kept grinding hard for the company she would've financially benefited majorly. Her following would've grown even bigger than it currently is & more business opportunities would've presented themselves...
Was she the only employee that they had at that time? Because if she was thn she definitely should've been getting paid more. If not wonder how her pay was compared to the other employees because they must've been getting paid half of what she was since her job was literally doing everything
FEAR EVERYONE!
Can we take a moment and appreciate the effort that was put in the vid. Chef kiss
Is there a summary somewhere ? I haven't watched since like 2015. Have no idea what's happening.
whats sad is that their jkn videos were mostly unproblematic and apolitical during their peak. like when they got their most views - esp on jkn - was when they reported on funny stuff. then the altright thing got super popular on youtube and they pandered to that by covering stories to bash on "sjws" and "snowflakes". they purposefully cultivated a fandom full of racist white incels, which is also why julia or geo got a lot of hate comments for simply existing - bc they are women. also tiff sometimes. i checked out some of their videos like two years ago and noticed they seemed to steer a bit more liberal bc of the whole upheaval of more progressive politics on youtube again. they always just pander and exploit according to whats popular at the time, so they def know what they're doing. now dont get me wrong, they are still right wing libertarians deep down still, its just that i feel like they suddenly amped that up during that 2015-16 time when the altright got huge on youtube.
i stopped watching around the time when that mayo steve dude joined, i always got racist vibes from him and ofc i was correct. also it always rubbed me the wrong way how joe treated his gfs and how they bullied josh. karma is really getting back at them bc i honestly thing they single handedly turned a lot of young ppl into alt righters
Unless I am completely ignorant aren’t most interns unpaid? Most interns are working for experience, something to put on their resume, no? If that was an agreement that they started with and both parties agreed to, I don’t see why they deserve any backlash on that.
Its per state but there are requirements to be qualified/considered an intern & where no pay is ok. Olivia explained this to Tiff when she spoke out which I touched on in part 2.
If there is an employee/employer relationship it must legally be paid even if they are interns. In Olivia's case, she wasn't a newbie learning things from experienced people, she did most of the work by herself while the 2 bosses were cheer leading for her on the side.
Interns are paid. Just not much as we work for experience. But still in her case, she did most of the work and she isn't someone new.
It’s a business. It’s entertainment. It’s for profit. You can still enjoy it for face value. Look at anything it all comes down to money.
Yeah, but they pushed the crew family buzz hard.
There are plenty of businesses and/or entertainment companies who still aim to make a profit without being complete dickheads and treat people like shit...it isn't an excuse. Stop trying to tell people to overlook things just because it's a business.
Wow she did so much for them. JK was very firm on saying that she's just an intern. Bitch that's not what unpaid interns do.
I never knew none of this as before the pandemic I regularly watched and they seemed okay. The last thing I remember was Joe and Jess breaking up and still being cool but I could tell they were kind of sad about it especially Jess. Then I had major issues in my life when the pandemic hit and wasn't able to keep up with their channel. Now 2022 I hear this, but all I will say and be wise about all this regardless of who did what and who was right or wrong cause as a viewer and fan only I cannot know what really actually happened to make judgments and be seriously invested as I see some of these other comments to be confident in affirming what really happened because only those who are or were a part of jk only knows. So I don't want to be a fool in making claims from what it may seem to be or been told by unless those involve all admit to what it was which most likely won't be shared cause it's a private matter in the end.
Im a year late but if you ever see this i just want you to know that you strawman argument-ed the hell out of David. David never said he was neutral. He said it was none of the fans business. YOU said that David wanted to be neutral and started attacking him for what you think he said.
I used to love watching JK anything. It was around the time Geo got pregnant where I started to not watch as often. By the time Geo gave birth I had unsubscribed. It was just different.. not the same. After Tiffany was let go and she put a video out about what happened it all seemed to start making sense. The owners/higher ups in the crew are very unprofessional. I recently clicked on one of their newer videos just to see how things were going and it’s a lot of new faces and same old Joe. Joe is still the same guy he’s always been. I’m not sure if I expected him to be a little more mature or different, but that wasn’t the case. I’m honestly surprised the channel is still going. The video I watched they were saying how they have trouble getting guests and needed more people to be on their videos. The downfall is kinda sad, but the people who run it have nobody to blame but themselves.
Where can u find part 2?
When is the Tiff episode coming out?
David never sat right with me especially when he appointed himself the “voice for black people” and spout ignorance
ironically, i see no difference between this video and david so's post...
Wow! Looking forward to part 2.
Now part 3
I feel bad that tiff defended them because that was the only family she knew then they completely sh!tted on her
Is there a link to the olivia thai response video?
I remember that summer when the Olivia unpaid intern drama happened, man was that a crazy fucking few weeks
Yh it was a crazy time honestly.
After not watching for a few years I check it out to see all the women (save Geo, Bart's wife) gone and it's now a BroCast where everyone sprinted to the political right. I was like "what the hell happened" so thanks for making these videos
Watched since 2012 and I knew something was off when crucial faces didn't return after a while. btw, that fat guy isn't to be taken seriously in many levels no matter what caliber of adulthood (in any society).
Most of the people in jknews moved on on their own or just couldn’t be apart anymore like Jess didn’t want to be apart of it anymore. And others just moved on to better opportunities like Gina Julia.
Why hating on JKFILMS? yall dont even know the half it and only speak upon what you only see people post
I came into JKnews way after Olivia left, Joe was already dating Jess. But the way they talked about Olivia was always with a bitter, shady allusion, it felt weird but since it was already 5 yrs ago atm i didn’t feel like getting into the drama.
I kept watching and I found their individual vlogs, though I really only watched Bart and Geo’s. I definitely noticed each person’s negative qualities in JKNews; sometimes they could get extra mean or overly defensive on some topics; one person always seemed to give misinformation; sometimes it’d feel like a competition for who could cause the most laughter/ruckus. But that was fine, that’s all friend groups. Idk what happened, but after a while, the articles just stopped being interesting. They became regular news titles about celebrities or debates I already see on every social media. Second, it felt off putting that Joe and Bart always tried to talk about their tough upbringing and how they experienced hoodlife too. They felt too eager to put on a Cholo facade and every person they brought in had the same “laid back gangsta” fake persona, except Josh and Julia, who were often the butt of people’s jokes too. So because of this, I watched their vlogs more.
After watching just their vlogs, it definitely felt like something was off
in the main group. I understand expanding your business and having multiple hobbies but it felt like everything was a money grab. At one point they tried getting a mtv show? And it was early on too. not trying to doubt their talents but their lives or careers were not that interesting and if they got a pilot light, it definitely would’ve been everyone faking how much fun they actually have, it would’ve been overwhelming. Then everyone kept taking vacations and moving?? Where is this money coming from but in the vlogs they also talk about hiatuses a lot? Then Bart and geo kept moving every month? Plus had a gym brand? And a kid? It would’ve been great if the rest of JK didn’t fall off, but it was obviously affecting their production and quality. Then one by one, ppl left the company or stopped talking to the main part of the group. Ik ppl grow apart but they were already in their 30s, lived in the same area, shared a company, raised some of their kids in the group, it seems odd that they quote unquote “just didn’t fit anymore”. Everyone that left has released statements that’s what happened and it’s still “love” but it doesn’t seem like the whole story. They all seem too tired to even tell the truth cause they probably know Joe and Bart are gonna lose their shit on them.
I started watching them in 2013 when I was 12, I was such a big fan cause I thought they were so cool and seemed so genuine. It was my dream to work with/for Jk. But over the last four years watching them has felt like watching a slow motion train Reck. Still a big David So fan!
“ David The Damn So” I couldn’t haven’t said it any better .
I used to watch Jk everyday, I even made a fan page about them but as I grew up I started noticing small things that didn’t sit well with me. Like how Steve and David have this God complex about them, Steve was talking about going to like a UA-camCon or something like that and he was basically Gatekeeping Sketch Comedy and saying how these kids nowadays have no idea what it is. Basically he was being bitter because they’re more famous than him doing tiktoks and stuff like that.
I watched some of Bart and Geo’s vlogs for a while but back when they had dogs I hated how irresponsible they were. They had a dog meatloaf that was sometimes aggressive towards other dogs and they still took him to the dog park and let him off leash. But I brushed it off then as Takia grew he was kinda becoming a spoiled brat so I stopped watching them.
I gave up on Joe a while ago I never really liked him and I’m glad Jess got away from him and can be with someone more grown up.
Yeah, taikas spoilt behaviour was too much for me too. The way he always hit Bart showed that Bart wasn't teaching respect, and that maybe geo wasn't allowing Bart to be a father, but rather a playmate.
@@thejoke2791 Yeah before Taika was born Bart talked all this smack about how he would discipline him and not let him become a brat but they haven't. I know they love their son deeply but sometimes it feels like they use him for more views
@@moonmoon7319
Before, when he was still a baby, they said that they wouldn't have him on many videos as he gets older. Now that he's older, taika is the main focus of their videos.🤦♂️
@@thejoke2791 exactly
@@thejoke2791 lol maybe they think they can be like Tiff and Casey and get those family friendly endorsement which will obviously never happen because of their filthy mouths.
Yeah the problem I guess is the owners got too greedy, it all went back to them cuz the people building their channel left.
Man I remember watching them when I was like 13, depressing
I've seen like 6 different cast members from 2014 to 2017 and that really makes you wonder if the company is legit. Also sometimes they say some stupid ass shit, even if it was a joke it was dumb. Like when bart ask is one of their other friends liked being sexually assaulted after he told the story. And I'm pretty sure bart was serious. I dont watch them anymore but I not shock to hear about things like this. The tiff thing though kinda shocked me.
Running a company isn't easy, anyone who thinks it's easy dealing with people and their issues plus you have your own issues is easy. Hasn't built anything that requires people to work for you.
.
Everyone thinks they did the most work and deserve the most return/pay.
.
To run a business successfully you have to become a wolf. You're either a wolf through and through or your are a wolf with a heart.
.
The jk guys tried to have a heart, whether it works out or not is better than then trying to be wolves through and through.

Big facts, everyone in these comments acting like theyre the scum of the world. As if these commenters could do better, nobodies perfect.
Thank you. The comments and this person who made the video have never run a company, no offence, and all the issues and responsibilities that come with it. Wait til they encounter real world issues. It's the same thing every where you go. It's nothing new, it's not easy, we all trying to make the best decisions we can of the certain moment. They can't flop their whole company for one person. To give Olivia the amount she wanted, was to kill JK. Obviously they're not gonna do that. It just started running at that time.
This has to be the most intelligent reaction to this video I’ve read so far,everyone in here acting like they know everything,anyone of us would be hurt if we felt we weren’t getting what we deserved,y’all need to stop jumping to conclusions,these channels will pursue a narrative that would get us all to interact ,they’re just trying to profit off this like most people on here.
i'm so glad JKNews has reached 2million subs and weed out all the haters and super woke fans who don't know how life works. Now JK is more authentic and more successful ever.
So many people left because of the toxicity and unfairness.Do Tiffs story next 👏🏻
i dont think you know they did offered tiffany severance pay. they even discussed with tiffany and thought everything was good. but tiffany wanted discussion in person. but joe was in hawaii. tiffany got upset at bart and joe took so long for them to talk j person so she uploaded the video on her channels.
how can joe come right back when he was still in hawaii
They didn’t offer her severance pay. Watch her video. She explains it.
Interns don't normally get paid monetarily, but in valuable experience in their desired field.
This shouldn’t be normalized though. Interns are still workers and should still be paid. Employers who give the excuse of paying interns with experience is shitty and exploiting people.
@@Infinitykk only people who think that way, expect everything handed to them.
@@bigchris757 People who have a mindset like yours sound very privileged. Internships, like this case, can be like full time jobs and can take up a lot of time when mixed with other life priorities. I've heard many stories of people struggling or having to pass an unpaid internship because they had bills to pay and a family to support. Sometimes people cannot simply work an unpaid internship in exchanged for "valuable experience" as much as they want to.
@@Infinitykk life is not fair, once you understand that the better you'll be. Internships are not for everyone. Depending on your life choices or struggles you may have to work harder than the next person.
@@Infinitykk I think . . . You have it mixed up. I think people who expect internships to be paid (which, who wouldn't want that, right?) is privileged. Being privileged means demanding the right to things to . . . Well most internships are unpaid. While Olivia was very capable . . . JK was practically a start up at that time. Despite her doing the brunt work of the logistics, it started with Bart and Joe's skits, them in front of the camera, which created the following in the first place . . .
Dam, growing up i've took a lot life lessons from JK, it sucks to see the og fam disintegrate. Although its great that they are happy in their own separate ways.
Toxicity i definitely believe, but the money thing, so many people dont realise that joe and bart were dirt broke poor and many of their “cast” or “members” knew what they were getting into. Many of them were literally working for free, many of them were free interns. I can definitely see toxicity in many situations especially from david sometimes. But the money situation keep being brought up and ive followed them since they started. Ive fallen off and come back to the channel over the years. And we have to realise many of these “money” jabs are all during the beginning of their business like i said when they were dirt poor. Jus tryna open sum eyes but also not disagreeing with everything.
This the real shit we all were waiting for. The true Yelp review. Let's go.
You know yelp is bs right, if you dont paid them for advertising they will highlight the negative reviews up first, and put the positive reviews in the background. Lot of youtube videos about yelp, u might want to check them out.
I stopped watching them regularly around 2016 and would watch a video or 2 every few months. Then around 2020 I couldn't stand watching them no more. Grown adults acting like immature children 🙄.
Anyway I think it’s weird how they exploited every good moments and bad moments in their lives? Like Julia and Tommy breaking up and posting a video of her breaking down in tears or Geo and Bart having a baby
Julia and Tommy’s breakup video posts were unnecessary but I think Bart and Geo having a baby is worth documenting! Lots of channels upload birth vlogs!!
only person i keep up with is davids podcast when he has guest on. and from there boze and stephanie soo that i got introduced to from jknews channel
Yes yes yes! I've always wonder what happened to the first few ppl who left
If you have to keep telling your viewers how much of a close family you are, then you're not really a close knit family ☕
David " let me get involved in someone else's business " So
I used to watch JK News (as well as the main casts' individual channels) ALL. THE. TIME! Eventually I lost interest in them and haven't watched them in years. I kind of lost my respect for them especially Bart for saying the N-word in one of his old skits, it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
They sold shirts that said Nigga Shit.
@@niktour352 OH gosh, I'm glad I don't support them anymore...they need to be called out...
@@TheDanster4 Saying nigga is not the same as the n-word with a hard ER
@@guccimane99 it is ultimately the same word, the only difference is what accent you're saying it in. a common feature in African American Vernacular English is non-rhoticity, which is when you drop the r at the end of words (similar to British accents). N*gga is how n*gg*r is pronounced in that dialect. its best not to say it if you're nonblack, just out of respect for the black community.
I never liked David he was always so disrespectful towards others I.dont like the way he carries himself, he has negative energy behind his words when he speaks to his friends.
