Just a mild PSA to anyone interested in Opera: it's just Chromium under the hood, so if you're trying to divest from Google, Opera is just Chrome in a trenchcoat.
The fact they were friends for such a short amount of time is... In some ways it makes me pity Caroline. She's had so few close relationships that her harping on about this one... It's just sad.
@@annamelvina216yeah but its clear to me that its her own fault. She seems like a terrible friend and nasty person, had she just been a little more considerate of others she would have flourished socially
she has also moved the narrative around a lot over the years, and she would often conflate her dad dying with Natalie's article, as in, "i was upset about this article coming out so i was dismissive when my dad called and then he died right after and it was kind of Natalie's fault"
My brain hurts when she thinks she got into Cambridge on her own academic merit compared to someone else with true academic merit and then also says she faked her grades...help me understand.
It seems like she separates herself from this “character” she claims to have taken on for the sake of her non-existent first book. It’s just another way not to take full accountability. She was trying to curate a persona but fails to realize once you start living that persona non-stop and enact actual harm on people, that’s not a character you made up. That’s a real person and the real person you were (and are-she just hasn’t gotten far enough to recognize that yet lol).
She's the special kind of dense you only get from people who are born into immense privilege, she has the unique form of narcissism and laissez faire attitude that only comes from being completely shielded from regular concerns and consequences. To anyone who hasn't spent decades around the kind of wealth that is truly unimaginable to behave like that, but her actions are hardly unique or even especially heinous.
I know. She's doing so well and it's great because she didn't have to -perhaps lie about having had to- fake grades to get into a pristigeous international school, fake an internet presence, fake a personality, fake not having developed an addiction, fake being a writer, fake having multiple crises of poverty, fake needing federal protection from paying rent, fake being an It Girl, and then fake being a memoirist by useing the audience built off the original fake audience to sell a memoir that was apparently fake edited. Natalie did the one thing the NYU professor told Caroline to do, the one thing Caroline has all along, for some reason, made every excuse not to do: write. With no family fortune, no celebrity/influencer status, no real life Gossip Girl train wreck of a life story, and no Cambridge fairytale degree, Natalie simply wrote a book and sold it. (I know Caroline technically sold hers but self-publishing doesn't count when a decent number of the buyers don't ever even recieve the book.) It's easy to tell exactly who is on whose mind when they lay down to sleep every night. 😂
you’ve heard of emily in paris, now get ready for caroline in cambridge 😭😂 god it’s unbelievable to think this person is REAL and not a badly written and portrayed netflix original character
Caroline’s sexual obsession with Natalie is by far the most disturbing aspect of this whole debacle. Sleeping with a man that looked like Natalie? TURNED ON by Natalie’s sexual assault? REENACTING IT WITH HER BF LATER?? That knocked the breath right out of me. Unbelievable.
Super on brand of her. Her college boyfriend begged her several times to stop talking about him. She even stalked his next girlfriend and claimed that this man’s new girlfriend made a fake fan account to stalk Caroline
Caroline is just SO self-obsessed and delusional that the reality of Natalie being a seriously regarded and *professionally* published author has driven her (even more) insane. She has spent so long equating being "someone who lived a life worth writing about" with being an actual talented and accomplished writer, that someone as "mundane" as Natalie having legitimate success while she's, at best, a self-published freakshow, seriously broke her brain.
constantly tracking what someone's doing and spreading malicious rumours about them online are literally known methods/aspects of stalking. if she isn't already legally considered a stalker, she's damn near close. (iirc it falls pretty in line with how the rejected & resentful stalker archetypes act) it's genuinely scary at this point - like holy shit just move on and let natalie LIVE
Something I didn’t realize at the time: an average page of a book contains 250-500 words. 20,000 words is equivalent to 40-80 pages. She wrote a 40-80 page response to Natalie.
@@heatherb9588well something like that is pretty hard to prove or disprove. She would have had to state the names of every charity she donated to and said charities would have be willing to disclose their donors publicly. I understand him not wanting to waste his time and just give her the benefit of the doubt.
@@heatherb9588 yeah I would have loved him to question this part because he doesn’t mention her actually providing any evidence that she donated anything. She probably considers herself a charity case and selflessly donated to herself
Getting a half a million-dollar book deal and not publishing the book because, "it wouldn't be about me," is one of the most self-centered things I've ever heard.
it’s so satisfying to know that i truly did NOT know who this scammer was. and she really thought her image and likeness was worth $1m to netflix?? the DELUSION
it was a subtle tip-off to her crescendo of narcissism lowkey. who dreams of being a memoirist?? her, because she could only envision writing about herself
That's (not very subtle) doublespeak for "I paid someone else to write this for me, silently and then edited it to sh1t myself so I could say I did something here"... I would not be surprised to find out she even used AI to write :'D
she has the same mindset i had when i was 8. i also wanted to be a famous author, but then i realized i didnt like writing and those arent exactly compatible, so i dropped that dream. i guess she never grew out of that phase.
I commented the same thing! It seems so disrespectful and blasé, as if the questions are all so pedestrian and beneath her, she can barely muster up the energy to give a single eff about any of it.
Holy shit, I'm going through the comments after finishing the vid and I literally forgot that. AND the fact her momma subbed to her OF. God is dead and we killed him.
There’s something so wild about her saying “the book I never wrote would not have stayed true to my artistic vision.” Caroline, you’re not a writer if you don’t write.
No book is going to stay true to an artistic vision anyways. Like as a writer, what you imagine in your head will always be more perfect than what ends up on the page
She's a legend in her own mind. Not to mention a creepy stalker. If I was Natalie, I'd be seriously alarmed for my wellbeing. Imo, Caroline is a deeply disturbed individual.
As an Ivy League grad, I was IMMEDIATELY cured of my imposter syndrome the second I was in rooms with “big wigs” who were complete imbeciles. I quickly realized certain people traverse through the world on the backs of smart, hard-working, competent, imposter-syndrome-ridden folks. Rooting for you!! You got this 💪🏽
@@MillennialMcGuyver for reeeaaaaal. It's like two types of people at prestigious schools: the people who just wanna benefit from the prestige socially, and those who take advantage of the resources that make the school prestigious in the first place 🙄
BRO GETTING INTO CAMBRIDGE IS HARD AS BALLS AND SOMETHING I COULD NEVER DO And it's not like I'm bad at school or anything. I got 5's on every AP Exam I took (which was many) and high ACT score. I just didn't have the motivation or skill to maintain a 3.5+ GPA. Not like it matters, I wanted to pursue animation out of all things and got into a really decent and selective school for it in the end. Irregardless, be proud of your hard work because you deserve it! They accepted you out of the tens of thousands of applicants because you had merits they didn't. You made the cut because of your own skills, hard-work and commitment to the school. That's metal af! People will always be better, sure, but that is inevitable. If anything, you should befriend the people you compare yourself to and steal all their knowledge for yourself (unlike Caroline Calloway who just steals people's money lol) . That's what college is all about anyway. To learn and vanquish your mortal enemies. The only things that matter is that you got accepted for a reason, and that you graduate. That's it. At my school, we don't say "your art is good" or "wow, you drew that so much better than I did." We say: "I want to eat that." You know why? It means we want to consume whatever skills that artists has and share our own like sharing a meal.
1:06:08 Hearing this line, particulary "only 4 people... 4 people ... complained... to the US government ✨💅" said in the tone of a brag, was a genuinely surreal experience.
To the best of my knowledge, not a single person has ever complained about me to the US government! I guess by Caroline Calloway’s standards, that makes me eligible for sainthood or the Nobel Peace Prize or something…
to be completely honest with you: she literally is just me when I was 13 and thought I was the best writer ever despite not actually writing anything of worth except i had friends and family who pulled me back from that and i went to therapy to fix my mental health issues a d i earnestly hope Caroline is able to do the same one day. girlie you need help.
As a Black girl who had to study nights in order to achieve the extra grades for my conditional offer at Cambridge, I am very glad I have never heard of this person. How enraging.
Hey, congratulations! A Cambridge offer is huge (context for scrollers: Cambridge sees A Level grades as a very good predictor of future success. So you have to not only get all As in whatever standardised tests you take at around 18, you have to get VERY HIGH As. I actually didn't apply to Cam because my marks weren't high enough, and I got all As and A*s. It's scary!)
@@isabellamorris7902 Thank you! It was hard but I am glad to have achieved it. And yes, you're spot on with your commentary. I was predicted 3 As at A-Level and Cambridge said I had to TAKE AN EXTRA COURSE AND ACHIEVE 4 A*s....which I eventually did. I would literally have 5 minutes to eat dinner over the sink after college and then my dad would drive me to my night course 3x a week. People like this Cambridge cosplayer are SO insulting to those of us who worked for it.
@@bouncyshak if I never have to hear the phrase "UMS" ever again, I will be happy... The sad thing is that it sounds like CC's eventual offer was legit. She could have done SO MUCH with that education plus the privileges afforded to her by her parents, and her obsessive-level drive
@@isabellamorris7902 Well if she forged her transcripts then it wasn't. The UCAS system in the UK fed my results directly to Cambridge but I'm certain that a scam like the one she described may have been possible with international students in the 2010s. Cambridge is traditional in every sense, and that includes their admin. She most definitely took that slot from someone more deserving.
It is PEAK irony that the only time I ever felt sympathy for Caroline was while reading Natalie's article. She did a better job humanizing Caroline than the woman herself has ever done.
Because Caroline tried so damn hard to make herself look perfect that she just comes off as...Well not human at times and just a character in a book trying to be the MC of the world
I'd say D'Angelo did it well too. He just had to find multiple half soundbites to eke out any thoughts behind and then filter through his own beautiful brain to make meaning. Performance art!
I cannot get over how often she referred to herself as a writer, talked about the legacy of her writing, talked about staying true to her artistic vision, when she literally HAD NOT WRITTEN A SINGLE WORD.
Delulu. Straight up prophetic talking with no back up. This is why she believed it so hard, is cause she KEPT TALKING about it instead of doing. the. Thing.
@@louibeansAnd she got help for this from Natalie, so barely even that. I hesitate to call myself a writer because I don't write outside of my writing classes, but she doesn't have this kind of consideration, clearly.
She didn't want to write a book that wasn't about heeeer!!! Come on now, can't you see how painful it is for her to do something that's not completely about her 100% of the time?
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Yeah but not throughout her whole time doing this. She did write some stuff, even if it's not a lot and even if we can criticize her rightfully for the context of her writing and for the things connected to it.
I’m obsessed with the way the interviewers in every clip are just sitting in silence, and occasionally nodding their heads with their eyes completely glazed
She blocked me for saying that shrimp wasn’t vegan one time edit: i did not expect anyone to see this so sorry for no context lol!! this was years ago (maybe 2018 ish) and she was temporarily vegan. i was following her at the time because i was fascinated by her whole deal. at time she was constantly talking about being vegan but then posted herself eating shrimp and at the time it pissed me off that she was like cosplaying as a vegan so i messaged her saying essentially that. took me a while to notice after but she blocked me immediately lol. good stuff!
Hearing about people like this makes me REALLY mad at myself. Shame is definitely holding me back. If I was shameless and blasé enough, i could probably get a couple hundred thousand too 😭
Yes! Especially the beautiful blonde lady with her hair pulled back- I’m not sure that wasn’t eventually just a still shot of her that she put up so that she could leave the interview while Caroline was blathering on like a fool.
This! I was thinking the same thing as I listened to her speak and then noticed the interviewers dead eyes as the video goes on 😂 they HATED speaking with her and hearing her self absorbed fantasies
Honestly, it's better if she didn't do it just to get back at caroline, her being indifferent towards Caroline is so much of a better karma than her doing stuff on purpose. @@TheTinaBelcher
I am a self-published author, and the idea of Caroline physically printing, binding, and distributing the book herself is insane to me. Literally no one does this
Many years ago, I came across someone else who legitimately did this! He wrote, bound, and distributed his book. It was on the conspiracy theory of the moon landing being faked… but hey, he’s another one
I literally GASPED at the passage where she asks her professor if she's a better writer than Natalie and her professor tells her "I thought you knew all along." The fact that her vendetta with Natalie runs so deep that she literally wrote wattpad level fanfiction of a professor telling her verbatim that she's better than Natalie is INSANE, absolutely WILD. I had to pause the video and process it. This woman is in her 30s
I don’t know the context but “growing up, being young” is a perfectly fine thing to say verbally. Saying things twice like this is pretty normal and helps the receiving party better understand you.
@@Username0467it is confusing on page. By young is she immature, naive, sheltered??? Everyone is young in age when growing up. “Young” next to growing up is not emphasizing that she was young in years - it adds nothing and if anything is so redundant it pulls the reader out from the text
I am confident that I put more time in some of my fanfic chapters than she did her entire book. And fic readers can be a thankless bunch, she would never be able to handle the pressure of people wanting more. Her page would be a graveyard of dozens of abandoned works
It’s so weird to hear someone talk about being a student in a foreign country and complaining about $36,000 a year tuition when I’m going to a state funded school as an instate resident for $30,000 a year Furthermore, to hear someone complain about issues like poverty, the patriarchy, etc. when- they do have the right to complain, but- they are actively taking advantage of those systems and other people for their own gain and making choices which empower others to take advantage of THEM is mind boggling. Well, not really mind boggling since it happens so often. It’s uncomfortable to comprehend.
that's what got me! haven't read it but the disparity between Natalie writing a nuanced essay about body image and gender dysphoria and Caroline being fatphobic, queerphobic, racist... there's too much wrong to unpack
And then claiming that she suffers special, especially bad misogyny for being "thin and pretty". Does she think that calling other women ugly and fat isn't spiteful misogyny itself?
It's disgusting how obsessed she is with trying to make Natalie look bad in all the ways that she can, even if it's completely irrelevant. I mean she wrote a whole paragraph about her weight and tried to claim it wasn't out of fatphobia when we all know she hates Natalie and is itching at any way to make her seem unlikable. And the way she talked about her SA was fcking degeneracy that goes beyond the normal type of hate that an ex best friend would feel.
It’s incredibly disgusting and upsetting. She somehow wants to convince people that she’s a good person but there’s a ton of video and written evidence of her being insanely cruel to Natalie.
I mean I get her point that women's work often isnt given a chance or taken seriously unless it is sxuaI because of patriarchy. That is absolutely true. but her sentiment just doesnt apply to her lol the reason people didnt appreciate her other work is because it didnt exist, her legacy is just being a scammer
@botanicalitus4194 I feel like she really doesn't care about the point or actually pointing out issues. She's just jumping on the bandwagon to make herself more sympathetic. Like how you can you blame patriarchy for thus but also purposely decide to dress as underaged characters in your onlyfans?
I'm literally 10 minutes in and this woman is already completely insufferable. There are no castles in cambridge! What in the teaboo nonsense is she talking about?!
I was literally thinking during the early Cambridge segment "this woman is a weaboo for England" and you've come up with the perfect word for it. Or maybe it already existed. I didn't check lol
caroline’s obsession with natalie is UNHINGED and beyond concerning. i feel like she’s using natalie as a scapegoat for EVERYTHING that she dislikes/that goes wrong in her life. genuinely kinda scared for natalie tbh :/
No seriously, if anyone needs narcissistic injury, narcissistic rage or smear campaigns defined, we just need to clip that part of the video for them. It's why people have to be so careful about revealing what's behind their masks. They won't stop. At the rate she's going, if she doesn't get some help to even begin to have some insight into her behavior, instead of "Rosebud" she's gonna be whispering "That b*ch Natalie" on her deathbed 😬
Seriously!! And the fact that she said "Oh Natalie is misogynistic cause she played into the trope of pretty equals dumb and ugly equals smart" like WHAT and she starts talking about her weight in such a disgusting way 😳 also if one of my ex-friends lied about a professor telling her that she was better than me, I would be SEETHING
I read about this lady in the New Yorker years ago and forgot about it until I saw her name just now and it all came back. The New Yorker wrote a follow up last year and called her 'an agent of chaos'... Accurate lol
Just the fact that Natalie, who she worked with for 6 whole months, was her "best friend" for some period of time is likely a fascinating rabbithole in itself.
I imagine it was a combination of the semi-fame of her instagram, her calling around asking to be interviewed, and the interviewers having a bit of a dry spell.
There are so many interviews with her because podcasts are an epidemic 😂. I miss the time in life when we weren't exposed to everyone's thoughts and life styles 24/7.
the only way she actually donated to charity is if she heard someone say donating was a "tax write off" and she didn't know what it meant and thought she'd get it back lmao
Yeah lmao, her casually saying she donated it "to charity" was probably her giving it to some org that's technically a nonprofit but not doing anything worthwhile as a write-off. If she had actually given tens of thousands of dollars to like, an actual organization like, providing meals for hungry kids there's nooooo way she wouldn't have milked that shit.
Did you miss the part at the start of the video where she basically claims she invented alternate storyline’s occurring at different time periods 😭😭 she thinks she can write a masterpiece but she spends all her time boasting about writing. Writers speak through writing, not aloud lol
I like how she’s like “ ugh 🙄 it’s stupid that people would pay for my OF more than they’d pay to read my actual writing stupid patriarchy!!” WHAT WRITING.
I know!!! Girl, YOU made the OnlyFans! The patriarchy didn’t make her dress up as underage characters for money, SHE chose this- She knows full well why people pay more for those pictures than her books-
Also as soon as she said that I was like..........hm. Odd that you don't delete your incredibly lucrative OF for some reason then, if it bothers you so much that your titty pics sell better than........your unpublished books....

Natalie simply met a garbage human and recounted her experience and that was where it ended for her. Caroline was forced into her villain arc, of course it'd occupy her mind on a regular basis.
Sidebar: Does anyone know if she's been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? I'm 1 hour and 10 minutes into this video and her life sounds surprisingly like mine. Sounds like she suffers from SEVERE ADHD, like I do. Maladaptive daydreaming, being handed multiple once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and letting them slip through fingers not because your work was bad, but rather because you did not even being the work. When Natalie said, "Caroline counted down the days until she missed her book deadline" that shook me because... that has happened to me all throughout highschool, my young adult life, my middle aged life...... and it's been extremely embarrassing and damaging to people around me BUT... it's like a paralytic thing. I'll sit there PARALYZED and be stressed about the deadline and do nothing about it. I'll nap stressfully, stare at the wall stressfully, watch TV whilst not paying attention due to stress, and I will literally watch the hours of the day, and the days until the deadline count down. Without me even STARTING the project. These are projects that I was passionate about, and had amazing ideas for. And I had the skills to blow expectations out of the water. BUT.... I was always paralyzed. They say it's linked to a Perfectionist problem. I don't know how, but that's what I read. In highschool, I would even help my friends write their papers if they seemed overwhelmed, but I wouldn't write my own. When I was 32, I learned that I have BED (binge-eating disorder) I started taking Vyvanse, prescribed by a physician who has an eating-disorder practice. BOY did I become productive. The medicine worked... a little too well. I was on the lowest possible dose of Vyvanse (30 mg) and I was straight up "limitlessing" like Bradley Cooper. I was suspicious of how my life changed in literally 1 month. I became a new person. I continued researching my disorder (BED) and my medicine (Vyvanse). Turns out, Vyvanse is also a medication for ADHD. I researched ADHD... facepalmed myself... because everything I was reading about ADHD was every single terrible trait I had. I spoke with my eating disorder doctor. She was agreed I probably had ADHD, and she WAS qualified to diagnose a Patient with ADHD but she said she'd rather have a psychiatrist formally assess and diagnose me. I did that. Was formally diagnosed with severe ADHD in my 30's. And dude..... I'm not perfect.... but I'm 1000x more productive than I ever was before. I get shit done. People rely on me. I WANT to clean my house. I WANT to finish projects. I WANT to work on my businesses and make money AND FOLLOW-THROUGH for my customers. ------ I know Caroline's got other gross stuff in her life, like the cat thing, and obsession with her ex-bff Natalie.......... but everything in regards to her being a flake, an eternal planner and never-doer, talking and over-explain as much as she does, did I mention being a flake?, hopping from 1 side-hustle to the next, and constantly apologizing for broken promises, losing fantastical career opportunities handed to her on a silver platter, being CRAZY irresponsible with money, stressfully watching the clock run tick away until it hits the deadline instead of WORKING................................................................
I just googled it. She was "recreationally" taking Adderral (an ADHD medicine) which is one of the worst ones you can take because you can get 'high' off of them. You can take more than you're supposed to and "limitless" even harder. You can't do that with Vyvanse. Adderral is a "fast-acting" ADHD medication so you limitless hardcore for a couple of hours. And eventually it even stops working on you, so you have to take more and more. And when you stop, the crash (psychologically, physically) is apparently like coming off hard drugs. It's really bad for you. But Vyvanse is a SLOW-acting ADHD medication, that makes you limitless calmly for 12-14 hours. And you can't get high on Vyvanse because you can't like.. snort it. Or whatever. Vyvanse doesn't go straight into the blood-stream. It gets digested by some enzyme in your intestines and then gets slowly absorbed into your blood from there. You feel the medicine kick-in after 1 hour, but not a RUSH. It's just... suddenly you have motivation. For 14 hours. That's it. So even if Caroline HAS undiagnosed ADHD and she accidentally was treating it with illegally with Adderrall that wasn't prescribed to her.... then she's still basically got untreated ADHD. She needs to be formally assessed by a Psychiatrist or PhD Psychologist and needs to try a slow-acting ADHD med. Not fast-acting. I have no idea who fast-acting Adderral is for because that medicine leaves nothing but dumpster-fires and broken brains in it's wake. People legit get diagnosed with depression for the first time in their life DUE TO STOPPING Aderral. Jesus Christ. Stay away from Adderal, people.

It’s giving Mean Girls. It’s obvious Caroline is delusional and feels extremely jealous of Natalie. Caroline is so obsessed with appearances, living a fascinating life, throwing parties, wearing expensive ballgowns; essentially doing everything she can to make sure her appearance matches her delusion. And yet she feels jealousy & spite for Natalie, because she knows that no amount of money, looks, manipulation or lies will erase the truth: Natalie is a better writer than she will ever be.
she also seems weirdly sexually obsessed with her too?? It’s extremely uncomfortable, and I’m sure if Caroline was a man acting this unhinged about a woman, people would’ve called it out sooner.
I was in Undergrad when Natalie’s article was released and I remember being OBSESSED with it. It was such an intimate and realistic glimpse into the kind of friendship we all have experienced at some point with a friend you love but so does everybody else and you’re not as important to them. She also was very graceful in her writing and humanised Caroline way more than she deserved. CC should be thanking Natalie on her knees because Nat made her sound so much in depth and interesting than she actually is. Also Nat is a better writer because she isn’t a narcissist and actually has the ability to look beyond herself and at other people long enough to understand them which reflects in her writing. CC lives in a bubble so obviously her writing will never resonate with anyone else because it’s for herself only.
not trying to defend caroline, but this comment just rubs me the wrong way 😭 you guys are treating her as a one dimensional character and are throwing accusations about her personal life. especially this line: "And yet she feels jealousy & spite for Natalie, because she knows that no amount of money, looks, manipulation or lies will erase the truth: Natalie is a better writer than she will ever be." like how do you know that ?? do you know her personally ?? who are you to assume someone's mental state ?? it honestly feels like yall are dehumanizing her and projecting ur feelings on to her. i agree that she isn't a very good person; but paiting natalie as the hero and caroline as the villain seems rlly weird to me

Okay I don't know who else watches Swell Entertainment but finding out that Caroline didn't pay any rent in that New York apartment when she COMPLETELY WRECKED that place is so insane to me? I remember when Amanda was covering Caroline's insane chaotic "home renovations" and I need y'all to know that those were original hardwood floors that she painted over. Like she poured paint all over the hardwood floors (the kind of old hardwood flooring that you literally can't buy wood for anymore because they came from original, non-tree farm forests) and painted around her piles of stuff instead of picking them up and the entire time?? She wasn't paying rent??? Girl WHAT The way she just waltzes through life doing whatever she wants, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars that isn't hers, and just gets away with it?? Like actual proof at how impossible it is to fall out of wealth
It makes me so happy Natalie is publishing the type of meaningful memoir that Caroline wishes she could but probably never will because she’s so inauthentic, self-absorbed and lacks the self awareness, depth and intelligence to write the type of important nonfiction that she so badly wants to. Good for Natalie, I wish her a long successful writing career 💖
Natalie grew up while Caroline stayed a classic mean girl on the verge of being psycho. Caroline can't stand Natalie being happy without her. Natalie lives a genuine life with people who really love her and Caroline is very jealous of that cause she's empty, has no one which Natalie observed when getting to know who she was and knew that's not the life she would want (money doesn't fill a void).
LMAO right? i don't really write books myself, i prefer writing fanfiction, but i *write* fanfiction. i don't *make* fanfiction because it doesn't sound like it's for me. the way caroline speaks about how she wants to "make" a book is so concerning to me. it sounds like it's about her rather than for her.
@@1800PAlNexactly! even if it’s just phrasing, it really feels like she wants the book (and accompanying acclaim) to manifest itself without the actual *writing* part
Went into the comments to see if someone pointed this out. It's either "making" or "producing" a book, never writing it. Not to mention it seems like she only talks about writing and almost never actually does it. And i just love the fact that Natalie just went and published a thought out book and this weirdo college friend of hers still claims that everything is about her. Yes, of course Caroline, this person you claim to have spent around six months of your life with years ago is secretly obsessed with you. Caroline did surprise me though, i 100% was prepared to hear that the book "scammer" will never be published and is in itself a one big scam. Though if it weren't for Natalie's book, it would probably be the case.
It's always a good sign when an up-and-coming author drops a line that shows that they've never read a book before. Like, would you want to watch a movie from a director who goes on interviews talking about how no one has ever made a movie about superheroes before, and we're really breaking new ground here
Fanfiction isn't necessary. There are a lot of acclaimed or just like.....well-written series with female protagonists. The underlying part is, "I want people to read about a girl IN A BOOK AS FAMOUS AS HARRY POTTER". It's purely about fame and profit.
as a writer who struggles with imposter syndrome, nothing has infuriated me more today than hearing about this woman’s “writing.” on the more positive side, i’ve only just discovered your channel and as someone who loves watching video essays while i work/craft/chill, i’m so glad i stumbled across your work. thank you for all you do 💖
@@oomay1925 lol, that's exactly what my bf said while we were watching the video. "If I was Natalie in this situation, I 'd sue Caroline for defamation so hard she wouldn't be able to say my name outloud without lawyer's permission"
I honestly don't understand how she can make throw-away comments to the effect that Americans are stupid and ignorant because they do not appreciate "Oxbridge," while making glaring mistakes about the university and college system in Britain.
don't worry people are prolly going to buy Nathalie's book now and give reviews that will make its rating higher and the fact that Caroline's book is rated higher is probably due to two things : since she's an influencer a lot of young people bought her book and rated it high because they like her and don't actually read a lot, they just got it because she's their fav influencer so they don't care about the writing anyway & considering her past history there's a high chance that she paid for fake reviews or made fake accounts to boost her rating (also maybe in order to make sure that it would be rated higher than Nathalie's considering she wrote it only because of anger towards her she probably wouldn't be able to bear her book being rated lower than hers and because she thinks she's a literary genius too so she probably think she deserves to cheat in order to make her book seem better than it is just like she thought for everything else.)
I feel so bad for Natalie. All she did was explain the abuse she faced at Caroline’s hands and yet Caroline CONTINUES to abuse her publicly. She’s not some manic pixie dream girl as she portrays herself. She’s just a rich girl who wants to be perceived as a certain type of person without doing any of the work.
I wish I knew why people buy into such people's stories. Happens all the time. The world would be so much better if more people knew to roll their eyes in the face of a pathological liar like Caroline.
@@Cat_Woods I definitely think we’re seeing a shift where people are waking up to the “relatable” influencer. I think it helps that people like Caroline create these “characters” that they THINK is relatable like a romanticized version of poverty. Especially in a time of economic crisis. Really the only people I see eating up her bs anymore are other well off yt women who have absolutely no concept of what the real world is actually like and how EVERYONE can see through their facade.
for awhile I was "involved" with a guy who went to Cambridge with Caroline Calloway and would fondly reminisce on how they constantly flirted, but never got together. He clearly had a soft spot for her, like I couldn't make fun of her without him getting very defensive. He later turned out to be a habitual lying manipulative weirdo and it was like "ohhhh actually that makes a lot of sense, that should've been a red flag"
He probably didn’t even know her and was just trying to sound cool/impress you. My pathological lying ex claimed his bm dated kid cudi, got pregnant by him and ended the pregnancy in high school. I just KNEW he was completely FOS and was just trying to sound cool. 😂😂 I was legit embarrassed for him.
THAT EVICTION MORATORIUM WAS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME A SINGLE MOM WHOSE HOME HEALTHCARE PATIENT PASSED FROM COVID LEAVING ME JOBLESS MID PANDEMIC AND MY RENTAL COMPANY STILL GOT AWAY WITH IMMEDIATELY ILLEGALLY EVICTING ME AND MY SON. We lost everything and had to live in our car. And our only family died during this period. We are still struggling now. So F Caroline and I wish Natalie all the best.
The fact that Caroline’s take on this video is that she was honored to have been featured in a D’Angelo video really proves that her mindset truly, genuinely, terrifyingly, and audaciously “any attention is good attention” (Edit to add the source: on Instagram in the comment section of her post from May 2. Someone asked if she saw it and what she thought and that was her response)
There was a 2nd cat when she lived in NYC that she gave away. Poor Matisse has had to live in absolute filth. At one point I believe she had kitty litter in paper plates and she'd often post photos from her NYC hovel that included cat poop. I'm also not sure if Matisse has ever been to a vet and she's been known to carry him around in a tote bag.
she doesn’t want to be a writer. she wants to be famous for living a lavish and sophisticated fantasy. if she truly cared about writing above all else as she claims, she would actually, ya know, write.
It's pretty easy to see why Caroline hates Natalie so much. Natalie is everything Caroline wanted to be, and she didn't have to fake anything to do it. Natalie is intelligent, hardworking, talented, successful, surrounded by love, and - this probably kills Caroline the most - genuinely at peace with herself. Caroline had to con thousands of people just for the hope of being a fraction of the person Natalie is, and now she hates her for it. And it must KILL HER that Natalie doesn't think about her at all.
Caroline is the perfect case study of how generational wealth causes harm to the development of a person… and why most family wealth is lost within three generations.
And how it's detrimental to the rest of society. That money could have been used for real progress, instead it was used so that a person who never worked a day in her life could pretend that she did.
She can't stand Natalie, because she sees Natalie as beneath her and not attractive enough to be deserving of praise and acknowledgment, while at the same time wishing she was Natalie. I believe that she actually wants to be a famous writer, but she just isn't.
Exactly! She is envy of Natalie, because Caroline sees herself as her superior but at the same time Natalie is the one getting praise and having the life Caroline thinks should be hers.
Omg, I just heard D'Angelo read how Caroline wants to hurt Natalie. That's some actual insane shit. If I was Natalie, I would honestly get a restraining order 😱
I’m so glad I had no idea of this girl’s existence. Seeing her laying down on the couch/bed in almost every interview she had PISSED ME OFF. Does not even have the decency to sit up straight for an interview 😭
In case anyone’s wondering how Caroline responded to this, she claimed that she’s honoured to be the subject of a D’Angelo deepdive as she’s admired him for years (and then she linked the video and called it art). She also made a semi-passive aggressive comment about how the book D’Angelo ordered probably won’t come for another month since he only ordered it 15 days ago. She followed that up by saying "anyway, back to business." I guess she's insinuating that she won’t talk about this again, which I somewhat doubt given her track record...
Caroline telling everyone how aroused she was over Natalie's assault story is crazy awful!! Then for her to go on and share Natalie's story with more details is shockingly disgusting.
Right?? Thats the part that disgusted me the most, what a genuinely horrible thing to do! I'd be devastated, cant imagine what that must be like for Natalie

The fact they were friends for such a short amount of time is... In some ways it makes me pity Caroline. She's had so few close relationships that her harping on about this one... It's just sad.
@@annamelvina216yeah but its clear to me that its her own fault. She seems like a terrible friend and nasty person, had she just been a little more considerate of others she would have flourished socially
she has also moved the narrative around a lot over the years, and she would often conflate her dad dying with Natalie's article, as in, "i was upset about this article coming out so i was dismissive when my dad called and then he died right after and it was kind of Natalie's fault"
It happened to me. Caroline is just wildly jealous of Natalie.
its like shes so violently dense she almost does a full circle and becomes self aware
My brain hurts when she thinks she got into Cambridge on her own academic merit compared to someone else with true academic merit and then also says she faked her grades...help me understand.
It seems like she separates herself from this “character” she claims to have taken on for the sake of her non-existent first book. It’s just another way not to take full accountability. She was trying to curate a persona but fails to realize once you start living that persona non-stop and enact actual harm on people, that’s not a character you made up. That’s a real person and the real person you were (and are-she just hasn’t gotten far enough to recognize that yet lol).
She's the special kind of dense you only get from people who are born into immense privilege, she has the unique form of narcissism and laissez faire attitude that only comes from being completely shielded from regular concerns and consequences. To anyone who hasn't spent decades around the kind of wealth that is truly unimaginable to behave like that, but her actions are hardly unique or even especially heinous.
She has always been aware of her actions, she's just a bad person who's fundamental foundation is entitlement and greed
When did she become self aware??
the way she just laughs off blowing $100,000 multiple times is exhausting
Rich people live in a different reality
It’s truly insane
Like tell me you don’t know about the state of the economy without telling me you don’t know about the state of the economy 🙃🙃🙃
I’ve never seen that amount of money in my life it blows my mind
And the audacity to claim her family is lower middle class at the same time
Natalie casually thriving is the best way this could have ended
so true, im also glad she doesn’t read caroline’s writing
I know. She's doing so well and it's great because she didn't have to -perhaps lie about having had to- fake grades to get into a pristigeous international school, fake an internet presence, fake a personality, fake not having developed an addiction, fake being a writer, fake having multiple crises of poverty, fake needing federal protection from paying rent, fake being an It Girl, and then fake being a memoirist by useing the audience built off the original fake audience to sell a memoir that was apparently fake edited.
Natalie did the one thing the NYU professor told Caroline to do, the one thing Caroline has all along, for some reason, made every excuse not to do: write. With no family fortune, no celebrity/influencer status, no real life Gossip Girl train wreck of a life story, and no Cambridge fairytale degree, Natalie simply wrote a book and sold it.
(I know Caroline technically sold hers but self-publishing doesn't count when a decent number of the buyers don't ever even recieve the book.)
It's easy to tell exactly who is on whose mind when they lay down to sleep every night. 😂
It seems simple: between Natalie and Caroline only one has self respect.

Caroline’s sexual obsession with Natalie is by far the most disturbing aspect of this whole debacle. Sleeping with a man that looked like Natalie? TURNED ON by Natalie’s sexual assault? REENACTING IT WITH HER BF LATER?? That knocked the breath right out of me. Unbelievable.
@ville__is this a bot? Why do you keep commenting this?
@@sane5761Yeah it is a bot, just report its replies for spam
And the gall of her to simultaneously blame any criticism she gets on misogyny
You’re absolutely right. And her fantasizing about killing her? There’s something psychosexual going on here
My jaw literally dropped
Her talking about Natalie 100% sounds like a creepy ex who’s still stalking you.
Right? She’s obsessed.
Super on brand of her. Her college boyfriend begged her several times to stop talking about him. She even stalked his next girlfriend and claimed that this man’s new girlfriend made a fake fan account to stalk Caroline
Caroline is just SO self-obsessed and delusional that the reality of Natalie being a seriously regarded and *professionally* published author has driven her (even more) insane. She has spent so long equating being "someone who lived a life worth writing about" with being an actual talented and accomplished writer, that someone as "mundane" as Natalie having legitimate success while she's, at best, a self-published freakshow, seriously broke her brain.
i deadass wondered if i was 'making everything gay again' cause i was like "is she like, in love with her???" lol.
constantly tracking what someone's doing and spreading malicious rumours about them online are literally known methods/aspects of stalking. if she isn't already legally considered a stalker, she's damn near close. (iirc it falls pretty in line with how the rejected & resentful stalker archetypes act)
it's genuinely scary at this point - like holy shit just move on and let natalie LIVE
Something I didn’t realize at the time: an average page of a book contains 250-500 words. 20,000 words is equivalent to 40-80 pages. She wrote a 40-80 page response to Natalie.
She gave that $50k to charity? Nothing about her leads me to believe this is true
I would believe a 'charity' that her family owns/gets inflated CEO salaries from for doing almost nothing.
I’m surprised D’Angelo didn’t explore this more!!!
@@heatherb9588well something like that is pretty hard to prove or disprove. She would have had to state the names of every charity she donated to and said charities would have be willing to disclose their donors publicly. I understand him not wanting to waste his time and just give her the benefit of the doubt.
Agree! There's just no way that happened lol
@@heatherb9588 yeah I would have loved him to question this part because he doesn’t mention her actually providing any evidence that she donated anything. She probably considers herself a charity case and selflessly donated to herself

And it's not like I'm bad at school or anything. I got 5's on every AP Exam I took (which was many) and high ACT score. I just didn't have the motivation or skill to maintain a 3.5+ GPA. Not like it matters, I wanted to pursue animation out of all things and got into a really decent and selective school for it in the end.
Irregardless, be proud of your hard work because you deserve it! They accepted you out of the tens of thousands of applicants because you had merits they didn't. You made the cut because of your own skills, hard-work and commitment to the school. That's metal af!
People will always be better, sure, but that is inevitable. If anything, you should befriend the people you compare yourself to and steal all their knowledge for yourself (unlike Caroline Calloway who just steals people's money lol) . That's what college is all about anyway. To learn and vanquish your mortal enemies. The only things that matter is that you got accepted for a reason, and that you graduate. That's it.
At my school, we don't say "your art is good" or "wow, you drew that so much better than I did." We say: "I want to eat that." You know why? It means we want to consume whatever skills that artists has and share our own like sharing a meal.

judging by the ways she’s fudged with her story, I think she means nonfiction books that are escapist
the way every single interviewer in all of these clips looks like they are intensely regretting having her on their show has me cracking tf up
Exactly what I was thinking ~ I feel embarrassed and bored for them
Yep. They all look like they can’t wait for the interview to be over, nodding just to humour her and have it end faster
Yes! Especially the beautiful blonde lady with her hair pulled back- I’m not sure that wasn’t eventually just a still shot of her that she put up so that she could leave the interview while Caroline was blathering on like a fool.
@@jflyiii1682 YES! She looked like she was growing deader inside the more she listened.
This! I was thinking the same thing as I listened to her speak and then noticed the interviewers dead eyes as the video goes on 😂 they HATED speaking with her and hearing her self absorbed fantasies
The incredible irony of Natalie Beach literally writing the kind of real-life experience book that Caroline Calloway wanted to, even loosely.
And all the while being unbothered and happy. Truly the best revenge.
Yeah, you nailed the reason Caroline is so obsessively angry at her, I think.
i wonder if she did it as a jab to her lol. i hope so cause it seemed to really sting.
Honestly, it's better if she didn't do it just to get back at caroline, her being indifferent towards Caroline is so much of a better karma than her doing stuff on purpose. @@TheTinaBelcher
@@stress395 yeah.... but it is funnier.
I am a self-published author, and the idea of Caroline physically printing, binding, and distributing the book herself is insane to me. Literally no one does this
Many years ago, I came across someone else who legitimately did this! He wrote, bound, and distributed his book. It was on the conspiracy theory of the moon landing being faked… but hey, he’s another one
I literally GASPED at the passage where she asks her professor if she's a better writer than Natalie and her professor tells her "I thought you knew all along." The fact that her vendetta with Natalie runs so deep that she literally wrote wattpad level fanfiction of a professor telling her verbatim that she's better than Natalie is INSANE, absolutely WILD. I had to pause the video and process it. This woman is in her 30s
SHE'S IN HER 30S?? 😭

"growing up being young" really made me realize Caroline's talent with words
Truly inspiring words, truly...
For me it was experiencing eyeball pleasure.
I don’t know the context but “growing up, being young” is a perfectly fine thing to say verbally. Saying things twice like this is pretty normal and helps the receiving party better understand you.
@@Username0467it is confusing on page. By young is she immature, naive, sheltered??? Everyone is young in age when growing up. “Young” next to growing up is not emphasizing that she was young in years - it adds nothing and if anything is so redundant it pulls the reader out from the text
Lmfao
She could have flourished if she discovered self-insert fanfiction.
Edit: guys it's a JOKE, some of yall are taking this too serious.
All of this could have been avoided if someone had just shown her the "x reader" tag
Idk yall....she would've had to do REAL WORK to write that kinda stuff. She seems to be against that kinda thing
Nah, there are ao3 writers way more professional and dedicated to their work than her
I think that still would've lead to some insane fandom drama lol
I am confident that I put more time in some of my fanfic chapters than she did her entire book.
And fic readers can be a thankless bunch, she would never be able to handle the pressure of people wanting more. Her page would be a graveyard of dozens of abandoned works
It’s so weird to hear someone talk about being a student in a foreign country and complaining about $36,000 a year tuition when I’m going to a state funded school as an instate resident for $30,000 a year
Furthermore, to hear someone complain about issues like poverty, the patriarchy, etc. when- they do have the right to complain, but- they are actively taking advantage of those systems and other people for their own gain and making choices which empower others to take advantage of THEM is mind boggling. Well, not really mind boggling since it happens so often. It’s uncomfortable to comprehend.
I had the same thought! She acted like that was some insane amount of money when that’s what I had to pay to go to a state school…
Come to the UK, what the hell 😭 my uni’s international student price is £19,000 which I thought was bloody loads
@@jelliifish After converting it to usd it comes to $24,000 which is $1,000 less than my tuition after scholarships are applied
That's mad
Is anyone else kind of hung up on the fact that she kept calling Natalie ugly in interviews? It’s needlessly cruel.
that's what got me! haven't read it but the disparity between Natalie writing a nuanced essay about body image and gender dysphoria and Caroline being fatphobic, queerphobic, racist... there's too much wrong to unpack
And then claiming that she suffers special, especially bad misogyny for being "thin and pretty". Does she think that calling other women ugly and fat isn't spiteful misogyny itself?
It's disgusting how obsessed she is with trying to make Natalie look bad in all the ways that she can, even if it's completely irrelevant. I mean she wrote a whole paragraph about her weight and tried to claim it wasn't out of fatphobia when we all know she hates Natalie and is itching at any way to make her seem unlikable. And the way she talked about her SA was fcking degeneracy that goes beyond the normal type of hate that an ex best friend would feel.
@@ard4461 also not to bodyshame but she is not *that* pretty. She's the epitome of milquetoast
It’s incredibly disgusting and upsetting. She somehow wants to convince people that she’s a good person but there’s a ton of video and written evidence of her being insanely cruel to Natalie.
“I made 25k a month on OnlyFans, thanks patriarchy 🙄” is such a weird take when she has had more privilege throughout her life than 95% of people.
Also after she got a $500,000 book offer. Unreal
I mean I get her point that women's work often isnt given a chance or taken seriously unless it is sxuaI because of patriarchy. That is absolutely true. but her sentiment just doesnt apply to her lol the reason people didnt appreciate her other work is because it didnt exist, her legacy is just being a scammer
@botanicalitus4194 I feel like she really doesn't care about the point or actually pointing out issues. She's just jumping on the bandwagon to make herself more sympathetic. Like how you can you blame patriarchy for thus but also purposely decide to dress as underaged characters in your onlyfans?
@@Ashbrash1998i agree shes definitely not saying it sincerely, she is just trying to paint herself as a victim
95% is pretty generous ahahhh
The number of chances this woman has been given is truly mindboggling. For most of us one wrong move or accident and we end up in unredeemable poverty
Pretty privilege and white privilege ftw 😔
A perfect example of a nepo baby. You fail upwards, and there is a safety net waiting for you every single time.
its that attractive white woman nepo baby type of privilege she has keeping her from failing
Ugh privilege.
I feel you
If Caroline wasn't from a rich family she would have been put in prison the second she the publishers asked for the money back.
I'm literally 10 minutes in and this woman is already completely insufferable. There are no castles in cambridge! What in the teaboo nonsense is she talking about?!
teaboo is such a good word for her behaviour lmaoooo
I was literally thinking during the early Cambridge segment "this woman is a weaboo for England" and you've come up with the perfect word for it. Or maybe it already existed. I didn't check lol
teaboo lmaoooo that's brilliant
@@mellow_mallow I thought it was 'anglophile', but I like the idea of teaboo 😂

I love how every single interviewer looks so fed up with her. I don't blame them, she's incredibly annoying to listen to
also why is she lying down talking to some of them!! who does that.
Yess! Came here to say how bored all of them looked talking to her 😂
For REAL. These are the faces I make when I’ve zoned out ages ago.
Gosh her voice is so grating too.
Yup they all booked her for the clout & then realized she's not a good interviewee lmao
caroline’s obsession with natalie is UNHINGED and beyond concerning. i feel like she’s using natalie as a scapegoat for EVERYTHING that she dislikes/that goes wrong in her life. genuinely kinda scared for natalie tbh :/
Same! Especially starting at 2:20:56 is freaking disturbing. I hope Natalie stays far away from Caroline.
The only reason I'm not scared for Natalie is that I can't imagine Caroline actually following through on a murder plot either.
No seriously, if anyone needs narcissistic injury, narcissistic rage or smear campaigns defined, we just need to clip that part of the video for them. It's why people have to be so careful about revealing what's behind their masks. They won't stop.
At the rate she's going, if she doesn't get some help to even begin to have some insight into her behavior, instead of "Rosebud" she's gonna be whispering "That b*ch Natalie" on her deathbed 😬
Seriously!! And the fact that she said "Oh Natalie is misogynistic cause she played into the trope of pretty equals dumb and ugly equals smart" like WHAT and she starts talking about her weight in such a disgusting way 😳 also if one of my ex-friends lied about a professor telling her that she was better than me, I would be SEETHING
I read about this lady in the New Yorker years ago and forgot about it until I saw her name just now and it all came back. The New Yorker wrote a follow up last year and called her 'an agent of chaos'... Accurate lol
Just the fact that Natalie, who she worked with for 6 whole months, was her "best friend" for some period of time is likely a fascinating rabbithole in itself.
its crazy to me that there's so much interview footage of someone who didn't even DO anything, just talking about what she WANTS to do
I imagine it was a combination of the semi-fame of her instagram, her calling around asking to be interviewed, and the interviewers having a bit of a dry spell.
Absolutelt agreed. Being asked what you WANT to happen is cause people ask What's Next?
There are so many interviews with her because podcasts are an epidemic 😂. I miss the time in life when we weren't exposed to everyone's thoughts and life styles 24/7.
All talk no action. Shell have another life long dream next week lol
What do you mean, she did lots of stuff, very scummy, sad, awful stuff
the only way she actually donated to charity is if she heard someone say donating was a "tax write off" and she didn't know what it meant and thought she'd get it back lmao
I actually don't believe that she donated the money. She doesn't want to tell us what she spent her money on
Yeah lmao, her casually saying she donated it "to charity" was probably her giving it to some org that's technically a nonprofit but not doing anything worthwhile as a write-off. If she had actually given tens of thousands of dollars to like, an actual organization like, providing meals for hungry kids there's nooooo way she wouldn't have milked that shit.

Natalie simply met a garbage human and recounted her experience and that was where it ended for her.
Caroline was forced into her villain arc, of course it'd occupy her mind on a regular basis.
Sidebar: Does anyone know if she's been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? I'm 1 hour and 10 minutes into this video and her life sounds surprisingly like mine. Sounds like she suffers from SEVERE ADHD, like I do. Maladaptive daydreaming, being handed multiple once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and letting them slip through fingers not because your work was bad, but rather because you did not even being the work. When Natalie said, "Caroline counted down the days until she missed her book deadline" that shook me because... that has happened to me all throughout highschool, my young adult life, my middle aged life...... and it's been extremely embarrassing and damaging to people around me BUT... it's like a paralytic thing. I'll sit there PARALYZED and be stressed about the deadline and do nothing about it. I'll nap stressfully, stare at the wall stressfully, watch TV whilst not paying attention due to stress, and I will literally watch the hours of the day, and the days until the deadline count down. Without me even STARTING the project. These are projects that I was passionate about, and had amazing ideas for. And I had the skills to blow expectations out of the water. BUT.... I was always paralyzed. They say it's linked to a Perfectionist problem. I don't know how, but that's what I read. In highschool, I would even help my friends write their papers if they seemed overwhelmed, but I wouldn't write my own. When I was 32, I learned that I have BED (binge-eating disorder) I started taking Vyvanse, prescribed by a physician who has an eating-disorder practice. BOY did I become productive. The medicine worked... a little too well. I was on the lowest possible dose of Vyvanse (30 mg) and I was straight up "limitlessing" like Bradley Cooper. I was suspicious of how my life changed in literally 1 month. I became a new person. I continued researching my disorder (BED) and my medicine (Vyvanse). Turns out, Vyvanse is also a medication for ADHD. I researched ADHD... facepalmed myself... because everything I was reading about ADHD was every single terrible trait I had. I spoke with my eating disorder doctor. She was agreed I probably had ADHD, and she WAS qualified to diagnose a Patient with ADHD but she said she'd rather have a psychiatrist formally assess and diagnose me. I did that. Was formally diagnosed with severe ADHD in my 30's. And dude..... I'm not perfect.... but I'm 1000x more productive than I ever was before. I get shit done. People rely on me. I WANT to clean my house. I WANT to finish projects. I WANT to work on my businesses and make money AND FOLLOW-THROUGH for my customers. ------ I know Caroline's got other gross stuff in her life, like the cat thing, and obsession with her ex-bff Natalie.......... but everything in regards to her being a flake, an eternal planner and never-doer, talking and over-explain as much as she does, did I mention being a flake?, hopping from 1 side-hustle to the next, and constantly apologizing for broken promises, losing fantastical career opportunities handed to her on a silver platter, being CRAZY irresponsible with money, stressfully watching the clock run tick away until it hits the deadline instead of WORKING................................................................
I just googled it. She was "recreationally" taking Adderral (an ADHD medicine) which is one of the worst ones you can take because you can get 'high' off of them. You can take more than you're supposed to and "limitless" even harder. You can't do that with Vyvanse. Adderral is a "fast-acting" ADHD medication so you limitless hardcore for a couple of hours. And eventually it even stops working on you, so you have to take more and more. And when you stop, the crash (psychologically, physically) is apparently like coming off hard drugs. It's really bad for you. But Vyvanse is a SLOW-acting ADHD medication, that makes you limitless calmly for 12-14 hours. And you can't get high on Vyvanse because you can't like.. snort it. Or whatever. Vyvanse doesn't go straight into the blood-stream. It gets digested by some enzyme in your intestines and then gets slowly absorbed into your blood from there. You feel the medicine kick-in after 1 hour, but not a RUSH. It's just... suddenly you have motivation. For 14 hours. That's it. So even if Caroline HAS undiagnosed ADHD and she accidentally was treating it with illegally with Adderrall that wasn't prescribed to her.... then she's still basically got untreated ADHD. She needs to be formally assessed by a Psychiatrist or PhD Psychologist and needs to try a slow-acting ADHD med. Not fast-acting. I have no idea who fast-acting Adderral is for because that medicine leaves nothing but dumpster-fires and broken brains in it's wake. People legit get diagnosed with depression for the first time in their life DUE TO STOPPING Aderral. Jesus Christ. Stay away from Adderal, people.

Her life long, childhood dream... was to write about herself.
Even Narcissus would be like, "whoa, there. Take a step back."
It’s giving Mean Girls. It’s obvious Caroline is delusional and feels extremely jealous of Natalie. Caroline is so obsessed with appearances, living a fascinating life, throwing parties, wearing expensive ballgowns; essentially doing everything she can to make sure her appearance matches her delusion.
And yet she feels jealousy & spite for Natalie, because she knows that no amount of money, looks, manipulation or lies will erase the truth: Natalie is a better writer than she will ever be.
she also seems weirdly sexually obsessed with her too?? It’s extremely uncomfortable, and I’m sure if Caroline was a man acting this unhinged about a woman, people would’ve called it out sooner.
She literally did the Gretchen Weiners “I can’t help it if I’m popular,” speech
I was in Undergrad when Natalie’s article was released and I remember being OBSESSED with it. It was such an intimate and realistic glimpse into the kind of friendship we all have experienced at some point with a friend you love but so does everybody else and you’re not as important to them. She also was very graceful in her writing and humanised Caroline way more than she deserved. CC should be thanking Natalie on her knees because Nat made her sound so much in depth and interesting than she actually is.
Also Nat is a better writer because she isn’t a narcissist and actually has the ability to look beyond herself and at other people long enough to understand them which reflects in her writing. CC lives in a bubble so obviously her writing will never resonate with anyone else because it’s for herself only.
but mean girls is good
not trying to defend caroline, but this comment just rubs me the wrong way 😭 you guys are treating her as a one dimensional character and are throwing accusations about her personal life. especially this line:

Okay I don't know who else watches Swell Entertainment but finding out that Caroline didn't pay any rent in that New York apartment when she COMPLETELY WRECKED that place is so insane to me? I remember when Amanda was covering Caroline's insane chaotic "home renovations" and I need y'all to know that those were original hardwood floors that she painted over. Like she poured paint all over the hardwood floors (the kind of old hardwood flooring that you literally can't buy wood for anymore because they came from original, non-tree farm forests) and painted around her piles of stuff instead of picking them up and the entire time?? She wasn't paying rent??? Girl WHAT
The way she just waltzes through life doing whatever she wants, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars that isn't hers, and just gets away with it?? Like actual proof at how impossible it is to fall out of wealth
THAT WAS HER!!!
Wait that was her ? I thought I was confusing her with Kellyanne Conway. So she was from Swell’s video.

@ville__ receipts
i mean, to play devil's advocate, at least Caroline shares all of those traits with her idol Joanne!
@ville__lmao what? you have ONE video. people will say anything for a crumb of clout.
Natalie grew up while Caroline stayed a classic mean girl on the verge of being psycho. Caroline can't stand Natalie being happy without her. Natalie lives a genuine life with people who really love her and Caroline is very jealous of that cause she's empty, has no one which Natalie observed when getting to know who she was and knew that's not the life she would want (money doesn't fill a void).
The fact that Caroline consistently refers to "making" a book rather than "writing" one says... something, definitely
Now that Natalie isn't around to help she can use Chatgpt to write it for her.
LMAO right? i don't really write books myself, i prefer writing fanfiction, but i *write* fanfiction. i don't *make* fanfiction because it doesn't sound like it's for me. the way caroline speaks about how she wants to "make" a book is so concerning to me. it sounds like it's about her rather than for her.
@@1800PAlNexactly! even if it’s just phrasing, it really feels like she wants the book (and accompanying acclaim) to manifest itself without the actual *writing* part
Went into the comments to see if someone pointed this out. It's either "making" or "producing" a book, never writing it. Not to mention it seems like she only talks about writing and almost never actually does it. And i just love the fact that Natalie just went and published a thought out book and this weirdo college friend of hers still claims that everything is about her. Yes, of course Caroline, this person you claim to have spent around six months of your life with years ago is secretly obsessed with you.
Caroline did surprise me though, i 100% was prepared to hear that the book "scammer" will never be published and is in itself a one big scam. Though if it weren't for Natalie's book, it would probably be the case.
That absolute lack of consequences this woman has faced completely blows me away. And, her careless attitude towards it is insane to me.
Privilege is generally given to the wrong people, imo. But that’s the nature of privilege, I guess. The “meMeME” theme.
Her: “I wanted to read about a girl in these worlds”
Me: “fan fiction literally exists”
Also urban fantasy, magical realism…like this HAS been done.
Books with female protagonist exists. It is not hard to find and read them.
It's always a good sign when an up-and-coming author drops a line that shows that they've never read a book before. Like, would you want to watch a movie from a director who goes on interviews talking about how no one has ever made a movie about superheroes before, and we're really breaking new ground here
Fanfiction isn't necessary. There are a lot of acclaimed or just like.....well-written series with female protagonists. The underlying part is, "I want people to read about a girl IN A BOOK AS FAMOUS AS HARRY POTTER". It's purely about fame and profit.
Yes, female protagonists are neeeeever found in Y.A. or fiction 😌🤔
NOT THE FANFICTION OF HER BEING TOLD SHE'S "BETTER THAN NATALIE" 😭😭
"15 year olds dancing that i have to pretend im not attracted to" IS SUCH AN INSANE THING TO SAY. LIKE I CANNOT GET OVER THAT. WHAT.
I PAUSED THE VIDEO TO MAKE SURE I HEARD IT CORRECTLY
What does that mean? This drama is so long. I don’t even remember the context lol
@@unkofi445 literally what it is. She said her cut off age for dating is 20. Then posted that video saying 15 year olds are attractive 59:25
That is an inside thought If I ever heardone
@@emiliap8790this is a thought that should not EXIST to anybody who is a fully legal adult who KNOWS the age of a minor.
as a writer who struggles with imposter syndrome, nothing has infuriated me more today than hearing about this woman’s “writing.”
on the more positive side, i’ve only just discovered your channel and as someone who loves watching video essays while i work/craft/chill, i’m so glad i stumbled across your work. thank you for all you do 💖
"I see myself as professional" she says, clearly laying down in MULTIPLE zoom interviews
she doesn’t even know how to format a resume or write a cover letter 😂
I was looking for this comment lol I was like "maybe it's an American thing...?" 😂😂😂
she is incapable of sitting up. any car selfie, every zoom interview, whatever it is - she is always laying down.
@@Zelomakitoko even in one of the in-person interviews, she was slouching halfway out of her seat!
That was driving me completely up the wall!!!!
OH MY GOD THE VIOLENCE IN THE BOOK TOWARDS NATALIE 💀💀 If I were natalie, I'd literally get a restraining order atp
Yeah as someone who has actually gotten a restraining order against someone, her obsession with Natalie is disturbingly familiar
Starting to almost get worried for Natalie's safety tbh. Like I'm worried
Or a defamation lawsuit 💀 the entire book was out for her
@@oomay1925 lol, that's exactly what my bf said while we were watching the video. "If I was Natalie in this situation, I 'd sue Caroline for defamation so hard she wouldn't be able to say my name outloud without lawyer's permission"
As a woman of colour who went to Cambridge as an international student the same years Caroline was there this shit is WILD.
Now, YOUR story would make a good book! I'd read it.
I wanna know YOUR side so much more, oh my lord.
👀 story time
Did you ever meet her?
I honestly don't understand how she can make throw-away comments to the effect that Americans are stupid and ignorant because they do not appreciate "Oxbridge," while making glaring mistakes about the university and college system in Britain.
Imagine having main character syndrome and not being the main character in your own life. 😂
It's deeply infuriating to me that Natalie's book has a lower Goodreads score than Caroline's. Where is the justice.
If it makes you feel any better, Caroline probably pays people to leave 5-star ratings.
@@stretchmonsterand caroline is probably writing bad reviews for natalie’s book 🤣
Oh give it two weeks. The D’Angelo fans are gonna fix that.
@@buckyscastle It is a certainty my firend
don't worry people are prolly going to buy Nathalie's book now and give reviews that will make its rating higher and the fact that Caroline's book is rated higher is probably due to two things : since she's an influencer a lot of young people bought her book and rated it high because they like her and don't actually read a lot, they just got it because she's their fav influencer so they don't care about the writing anyway & considering her past history there's a high chance that she paid for fake reviews or made fake accounts to boost her rating (also maybe in order to make sure that it would be rated higher than Nathalie's considering she wrote it only because of anger towards her she probably wouldn't be able to bear her book being rated lower than hers and because she thinks she's a literary genius too so she probably think she deserves to cheat in order to make her book seem better than it is just like she thought for everything else.)
I feel so bad for Natalie. All she did was explain the abuse she faced at Caroline’s hands and yet Caroline CONTINUES to abuse her publicly. She’s not some manic pixie dream girl as she portrays herself. She’s just a rich girl who wants to be perceived as a certain type of person without doing any of the work.
I wish I knew why people buy into such people's stories. Happens all the time. The world would be so much better if more people knew to roll their eyes in the face of a pathological liar like Caroline.
@@Cat_Woods I definitely think we’re seeing a shift where people are waking up to the “relatable” influencer. I think it helps that people like Caroline create these “characters” that they THINK is relatable like a romanticized version of poverty. Especially in a time of economic crisis. Really the only people I see eating up her bs anymore are other well off yt women who have absolutely no concept of what the real world is actually like and how EVERYONE can see through their facade.
for awhile I was "involved" with a guy who went to Cambridge with Caroline Calloway and would fondly reminisce on how they constantly flirted, but never got together. He clearly had a soft spot for her, like I couldn't make fun of her without him getting very defensive. He later turned out to be a habitual lying manipulative weirdo and it was like "ohhhh actually that makes a lot of sense, that should've been a red flag"
Dang that is nuts that would be a deal breaker for me haha
He probably didn’t even know her and was just trying to sound cool/impress you. My pathological lying ex claimed his bm dated kid cudi, got pregnant by him and ended the pregnancy in high school. I just KNEW he was completely FOS and was just trying to sound cool. 😂😂 I was legit embarrassed for him.
@ville__ you never state which alleged idea he stole in the numerous repetitive comments.
@@darlenetroise7079 it's a bot, just report and ignore.
Isn’t it such an odd feeling when you make fun of a girl and your boyfriend gets defensive of her, happened once.... wasn’t a fan lol
THAT EVICTION MORATORIUM WAS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME A SINGLE MOM WHOSE HOME HEALTHCARE PATIENT PASSED FROM COVID LEAVING ME JOBLESS MID PANDEMIC AND MY RENTAL COMPANY STILL GOT AWAY WITH IMMEDIATELY ILLEGALLY EVICTING ME AND MY SON. We lost everything and had to live in our car. And our only family died during this period. We are still struggling now. So F Caroline and I wish Natalie all the best.
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I hope things turn around. The greed that people who weren't struggling during the pandemic showed is just... horrendous.
The fact that Caroline’s take on this video is that she was honored to have been featured in a D’Angelo video really proves that her mindset truly, genuinely, terrifyingly, and audaciously “any attention is good attention”
(Edit to add the source: on Instagram in the comment section of her post from May 2. Someone asked if she saw it and what she thought and that was her response)
Where did you find this, and how may I access it?
@@zyplixx1415 on an Instagram post on her page from May 2, she commented this in reply to someone asking her thoughts on the video
i looked all over and couldn’t find anything related to her responding to this video, maybe i’m just not looking in the right place??
where
She has this prestigious education yet still has no clue on how to read a room 🤣
Cats, in fact, are NOT meant to be held by thier heads.
I could barely watch her do that to the poor kitty
IM ONLY 34 MINUTES IN WHAT IS THE CAT OK???? 😭
@Mushmellow7 right!? "aren't his survival instincts supposed to kick in" wtf she's supposed to take care of him
@neff6185 the cat seems fine she just handles him badly. Knowing the way she treats people, idk if she should have a cat.
There was a 2nd cat when she lived in NYC that she gave away.
Poor Matisse has had to live in absolute filth. At one point I believe she had kitty litter in paper plates and she'd often post photos from her NYC hovel that included cat poop. I'm also not sure if Matisse has ever been to a vet and she's been known to carry him around in a tote bag.
she doesn’t want to be a writer. she wants to be famous for living a lavish and sophisticated fantasy. if she truly cared about writing above all else as she claims, she would actually, ya know, write.
She probably started then realized writing is hard.
She wants to be the Great Gatsby, but nothing about her is great.
I think she wants to be famous for being a writer, especially as a self-centered writer, but doesn't really want to WORK or like actually WRITE???
This is the book version of SEO-hijacking. Searching her name with scammer will likely prioritize her book, not her actual scams.
It's pretty easy to see why Caroline hates Natalie so much. Natalie is everything Caroline wanted to be, and she didn't have to fake anything to do it. Natalie is intelligent, hardworking, talented, successful, surrounded by love, and - this probably kills Caroline the most - genuinely at peace with herself. Caroline had to con thousands of people just for the hope of being a fraction of the person Natalie is, and now she hates her for it. And it must KILL HER that Natalie doesn't think about her at all.
Natalie is riding Caroline’s coat tails and is objectively not very attractive. What could she be jealous of based on what we know of her
@@xxo5294 ok Caroline
Hey Caroline 😂
I think she likes Natalie but in denial haha
@@johnphilipteguihanon8293 seriously, they way she talks about her feels so weirdly obsessive.
Caroline is the perfect case study of how generational wealth causes harm to the development of a person… and why most family wealth is lost within three generations.
And how it's detrimental to the rest of society. That money could have been used for real progress, instead it was used so that a person who never worked a day in her life could pretend that she did.
She can't stand Natalie, because she sees Natalie as beneath her and not attractive enough to be deserving of praise and acknowledgment, while at the same time wishing she was Natalie. I believe that she actually wants to be a famous writer, but she just isn't.
Yes! Natalie seems to have the career Caroline has always wanted but never achieved. that has to hurt because she can’t attain/buy it
She wants to be a writer, but when does NOT want to write.
Exactly! She is envy of Natalie, because Caroline sees herself as her superior but at the same time Natalie is the one getting praise and having the life Caroline thinks should be hers.
Omg, I just heard D'Angelo read how Caroline wants to hurt Natalie. That's some actual insane shit. If I was Natalie, I would honestly get a restraining order 😱
I think the wildest thing to me is how she kept finding these ways to get so much money, but then just abandoned them.
I’m so glad I had no idea of this girl’s existence. Seeing her laying down on the couch/bed in almost every interview she had PISSED ME OFF. Does not even have the decency to sit up straight for an interview 😭
ugh tell me about it, it really really pissed me off, god, so self absorbed
No because I was thinking the same thinggg. Like girl, you aren’t being quirky, sit up lmao
While she says she’s “really professional” 😭
In case anyone’s wondering how Caroline responded to this, she claimed that she’s honoured to be the subject of a D’Angelo deepdive as she’s admired him for years (and then she linked the video and called it art). She also made a semi-passive aggressive comment about how the book D’Angelo ordered probably won’t come for another month since he only ordered it 15 days ago. She followed that up by saying "anyway, back to business."
I guess she's insinuating that she won’t talk about this again, which I somewhat doubt given her track record...
Of course she's going to call it art. It's about her
Oh yeah this chick is INSANE!!! 😭😭
she’s quietly seething for sure
she really thinks she’s invincible
i love the idea of her watching this and just tuning out every piece of criticism and only listening when D'Angelo (very vaguely) compliments her
Caroline telling everyone how aroused she was over Natalie's assault story is crazy awful!! Then for her to go on and share Natalie's story with more details is shockingly disgusting.
Right?? Thats the part that disgusted me the most, what a genuinely horrible thing to do! I'd be devastated, cant imagine what that must be like for Natalie
I'm only 40 minutes in, what the fuck is about to happen
@@crypt5129 I saw this comment at the same timestamp...
What part was this? I was working while listening and somehow missed it.
Edit: nvm i just hadn't reached that part
