The end of Colleen Ballinger and the downfall of Miranda Sings’ career has taken a shocking turn with my team’s new discoveries, and evidence never seen before. Adam McIntyre exposed Colleen, and I was manipulated by a central person, opening the door for others to come forward. I have interviews with Adam, and other victims that shed NEW light on all of this, plus all the lies that everyone missed. With her years of lies, manipulation, gaslighting, and alarming signs,Colleen Ballinger aka Miranda Sings may have always been this way. This just isn’t adding up…

I want to take a moment again to say: thank you Adam. Your openness and honesty not just with me, but with the world, is truly inspiring, and helped me get through what has been the most mentally and emotionally challenging documentary I've ever published. I want to thank all of you watching for allowing me the time and space to dedicate myself and my team to investigating such a brutal and disturbing route this story has taken, in the interest of protecting Adam, Becky, Oliver, Ella, Alex, Trisha Paytas, the witnesses who came forward, and those who still do not yet feel safe to do so. I applaud all of you, your strength shines through.
Questioning someone's story is something I never wish to do, but after realizing the massive extent I have been lied to and gaslit, I knew that it was my responsibility to seek out the truth, no matter how stressful it was, because you all deserve the truth. In doing so, I had to pause my entire content schedule, my merch release, cancel several sponsors, and halt all uploads, which is not fair to all of you who are here with me every week, so thank you for your kindness and patience as we worked on this.
I hope with my entire being that Johnny will take accountability, apologize, and find the path to healing. And most of, I hope for the healing of the victims, Adam, Becky, Ella, Alex, Oliver and so many others. You will get through this, I'm in awe of you all. Your stories are real, your healing will come, and you are valid.
Thank you to my team for their tireless work. We are tiny (only 3 of us) but mighty. They sacrificed their time, mental health, emotional health, and time with family and partners to help me bring this truth to light and I'm in awe of them. I look forward to introducing them to you all.
Swoop
LOVE YOU AND ADAM BOTH!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is getting uglier and uglier... Thank you Swoop for shedding a light of this... Sorry you had to get hurt in the process tho...
The truth is what matters most. We're here with you, girlie. Just bought my Valid hoodie and I'm so glad. :"")
I'm so sorry that you went through this, Swoop. It's absolutely horrible being gaslit and lied to, and I hope that you take some time to yourself to help repair your mental health. 💜 Please stay safe and take care of yourself, Swoop!
You're one of a kind swoop. You and Adam both. God bless You both and your team! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Literally cringing at Johnny’s interview. It’s hard to watch. He’s unhinged. 6 hours??? Swoop girl….you’re a saint for getting through that. Damn.
Lmao I can't believe he was proud of that. Just listening to her ask him the same question over and over... and each time he said something different... but he never actually answered the question. Dude just loves the sound of his own voice.
I can't fathom where she gets the damn patience and composure from.
The way he said that he was "excited" to form a bond with people who went through the same thing he did (which obviously he's not a victim. he did it too) after posting Trisha's nudes....like who says that?
He’s so obsessed with himself. I really do feel sorry for him.
But damn. What an exhausting interview to have with someone 😅
👏🏼 yes girl!! From Johnnys words this is his “fame” no son you got blew up for the liar that you’re by trying to make Adam’s story and the others “your” story and Swoop called your SSA out!!!
To be totally honest, if I were Josh, I would sue Johnny for defamation. That would force Johnny to provide evidence, which ALL of us knows that he doesn't have.
Same thoughts
I get the feeling that Josh just wants this to all go away and doesn't want his past and his relationship to Colleen put under a microscope any more than it already has been
If he took Johnny to court it'd be peak UA-cam news and would drag out for ages, and I have no doubt Johnny would try and take full advantage of that attention
@@SuperNuclearUnicornyeah I wouldn’t blame Josh just getting through this week and then leaving well enough alone with it, he’s already tweeted that he’s worried about the upcoming interview will mean colleen’s fans coming back to attack him, I don’t think he needs stress of fighting a defamation case
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn not to mention the $$$ it takes - & Johnny probably doesn't even have enough $ for Josh to recoup his court costs from him, let alone net damages. Defamation suits are a rich person's game.
he'd lose thousands of dollars and no one would pay him back bc that's what happens when u sue poor people
Johnny's story about his trip to LA and claiming to be abandoned in a place he didn't know is CLEARLY a copycat of Adam's story about his trip to Dublin.
Nice catch! I didn't even think of that.
I think I subconsciously picked up on that too but didn't realise it until I read this.
Right, I noticed right away.
Is it just me or does it look like Johnny may have deleted his whole channel? Idk I couldn't find it the other day?! He clearly knows he's guilty and a big lier if he deleted everything on his channel!
@@danysanerd2383its up! search “channel” after his name. 8 videos posted
It's such weird stalker behavior for the ENTIRE FAMILY to show up at a random auto show to see the BOYFRIEND of someone you're a fan of. Like, how fucking odd is this family?!?
truly strange behavior… my parents would’ve laughed in my face if i’d asked them to pay for a random ass fan girl trip like that 🤦🏽♀️ in my insignificant outsider opinion, i think that johnny projected his friendship w josh to his family as a beneficial mentorship like relationship that would help johnny eventually grow and get a career in content creation.
but it’s obvious from johnnys own words and describing his actions… he was an overly obsessive fan who just happened to achieve more closeness/connection to these people than most.
josh describing how he thought johnny was a sad/lonely kid and took pity and naively thought that allowing a mentor relationship to happen between them would be okay. it wasn’t, because of johnnys immaturity, loneliness, and obsessiveness. i think he likely had some kind of fan crush on him as well. and when josh was going thru a difficult divorce and didn’t reply to him, johnny decided to take it as a personal attack
i think johnnys a compulsive liar and a narcissist. he may have (and likely did) experienced some real trauma and inappropriate/grooming behavior, it’s not my place to invalidate that. but johnny choosing to fully lie and fabricate so much of his story and experience… what a fucking mess.
I’m sure he didn’t give his family the actual facts
@gossgorl I mean, they all knew they were driving him 9+hrs for him to go see him at a car show and one of Josh's shows. They also harassed Joshua to get him to interact with Johnny. They've done some insanely questionable things
Johnny seems like the kind of kid who was told by his mother how special he was while cutting up his steak. He even said his family were going to magazine publications for money and attention. Either they would do anything to fuel their son's narcissism or they are narcissists themselves.
whats weirder is the willingness to drive their child who was a dropout that's still high school age to LA and follow Josh like a roadie but not idk to his classes. its sooooo weird
I have a feeling that Johnny had a teenage crush to Josh and Josh's neutrality to him turned into a total hate outcome. And he is parasitizing on everyone around him. Ugh, disgusting.
I think so too.
Litterally what i thought too
I also thought that
I was thinking the exact same thing. I was looking for this comment because Johnny had to "clarify" that he didn't have a crush on him. I quote, "bold of him to assume that I would have a crush on him." Which makes it really suspicious.
Also, when Joshua said in his apology to Johnny that he didn't understand the amount of connection Johnny had been feeling toward him, it sounded a lot like someone apologizing for not being able to reflect the other person's attraction for one another.
Same
Johnny being so bitter that Josh didn’t give him the attention he wanted. So he FAKED to be a victim. I’m done with his bs.
Exactly my thought. When josh ignored him he decided to ruin his life instead.
He’s such a 🧬💩🪣
@@JenniferKelly6669 You're right he is such a DNA poop bucket.
Same deal, with Adam. He wanted to replace Cory, or at least be onstage like Johnny. But, as it turned out, Adam wasn't even good at submitting comedy bits. Adam just isn't talented, for show business. And so he turned very bitter, and spent a few years perfecting his victim act. He can now cry like a lost puppy on cue, and it melts the hearts of uninformed people. They have never investigated his real past, and they don't realize he is getting well-paid for his victim-act. Adam has NEVER had a job. Being a victim is how he survives. He is able to live on his own, take multiple international vacations every year, and 100% of the money comes from the way he has connected himself to Colleen Ballinger's name. He has no talents,and never mentions any intention towards doing anything else. He thinks this goldmine will last forever.
@@craigharmon9494 found Jonny’s alt account
I absolutely cannot fathom that sentence of "I was in a group chat with a bunch of young girls, and I didn't want to be, because I was confident in my sexuality, and I want boys, well, men, in my DMs." The fact that his first thought regarding "I don't wanna be in a grooming ring with a bunch of young girls" is "ew I'm gay" and not "ew those are children" is bonkers, but that slip-up of him saying he wants BOYS in his DMs is crazy.
I feel like I need to call this one out. Saying "I like boys" doesn't immediately mean children. You hear people say "I like girls" all the time and they're referring to grown women and that's not questioned. This is a very important distinction because paedophilia is a very serious accusation that gay men get accused of a lot by homophobic people. He would have needed to correct his wording to avoid this kind of thinking. Also to be clear I am absolutely not defending this lying attention seeking man just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.
@@chrish3126 ofc, saying "i like boys" is not a pedophilic statement on its own. However, considering she was literally confronting him about being predatory to children does it make it a bit weirder. The main thing that bugs me about the statement is not necessarily the words "I like boys" but the fact that he was saying "I wasn't grooming those kids because those kids were girls and I like boys" and not "I wasn't grooming those kids because I don't have any interest in kids." It's also weirdly normal to call grown women "girls" whereas it's seen as a bit weird a lot more often for men to be called "boys" because of the inherent infantilization of women. Also a problem that needs to be fixed lol. Within the context of the quote, I think the word "boys" is a bit telling. It's kinda like one of those things where in hindsight it should've made you suspicious but you wouldn't have thought anything in the moment, it's just a clue after you know the answer. I stand by this statement being a very dicey thing to say but mostly because of the thought process and the context rather than him saying boys first instead of men.
I think that one line sense of what his trauma was about and it shows a lot with Josh in his recent interview. That Johnny had no boundaries and he kept consistently going to these events to grab his intention and wanting to have some type of validation that was important. And I think since Josh I guess ghosted him if he felt like a rejection and I think that's why he behaves the way he does because he's taking out all his anger and his intentions is to ruin their reputation cuz he felt being used. Instead of being completely honest and say well I just wanted the fame and nothing more but I did feel I crossed boundaries with Josh and in my mind at that age it was very unhealthy until someone pointed out to me. She could have said that that way were it doesn't indirect Josh but that he was aware that he has very weird behavior patterns that needs to be broken and he needs to really go to therapy and not be on UA-cam and just exploit all these people because he can.
it was such a freudian slip, his widened eyes after and the way he side-stepped his whole body and looked away, lmao... he knew what he said was wrong but he had such a strong reaction because he knew there was truth to it. why was he marrying the idea of confidence in sexuality with group chats with minors? oh, because he knew those things were happening together, and he wished it were boys!
and did you see his weird ass smile?? That was uncalled for
Johnny: Bothers the sh*t out of Joshua for several years
Joshua: reacts to him in a friendly but fairly disconnected way
Johnny: WOW, PR3DATOR. WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH ME?!
That is so true
It reminds me of a common idea in Christianity, where if someone accuses others of having a particular sin, or is always quick to point it out, that's usually the sin they struggle with. I'm not sure if it's insecurity, or people wanting to draw attention away from their problems to make themselves look better, or if it's more manipulative.
@@joyloxit’s simple projection and it’s prevalent in society regardless of religion
Why I am ALWAYS wary of the words “MY truth” 👀 what’s wrong with “the” truth?
@@zarabee2880yes!
She was really smart to let him keep running his mouth and dig a deeper hole for himself. That’s something that interrogators do to derive confessions from the suspect. 👏🏼
It’s obviously sad and disgusting but I love seeing liars go deeper into their lies and mixing all the lies while knowing what’s happening 💀💀 it’s like he’s sabotaging himself while thinking he’s sabotaging someone else but everyone see clearly through it💀💀 he’s the only one not realizing that he’s destroying his own life when trying to do it to someone else, Idk if I make sense 😂🤷🏼♀️
@@sowsowww Yeah, I don’t know how he didn’t think this information would come out. 💀
@@sowsowwwYUPPPP it's very satisfying to see a liar's downfall
It's something that therapists and psychologists use as well. Silence is uncomfortable for many people and if you just sit quietly and hold someone's gaze, they will be uncomfortable and continue to talk and explain things because they don't like the awkward silence.
This is EXACTLY what the Behavior Panelists are always saying - let them talk themselves deeper into a hole. Their brain will keep trying to fill that hole by digging more holes until it all comes caving in.
Swoop, when you said, “…because I trust Adam MacIntyre,” I was actually moved to tears. After years of being scapegoated by Colleen and vilified by her fans who called him a liar (and worse), that young man still stood his ground. I can’t imagine how he must feel, but I know how precious your validation of him must be. Thank you.❤️
Exactly. Against hate, backlash, he was so strong and persistent even though it probably would have been 'easier' and safer to not do that.
@@amysomething3370 💯 - and he was only 17. I don’t know if I’d have had the courage at that age to state my truth in the face of the kind of ugliness he experienced. Adam is a gem!
Yes! I love that Swoop is changing the narrative for Adam and being a mentor and friend.
I only know of Adam bcus of this whole debacle and I only know of colleen because of her ridiculous song and.the fact that my favorite YT psychologist did a small video about it. But I agree with you 100+%. Adam is such a refreshingly genuine and unique human being, and I'm glad that reputable channels like Swoop's are highlighting that.
I was crying right along and tearing up as the video started.. I am SO Proud of Adam as I would be of my own Son! I watched along as well hoping he would be heard! It took time but it is happening! 🤲🏼👏🏼🩵🦋🫶🏼💜🩵❤️🩹 Thanks Swoop you’re doing so much more than platforms support teams and dare I say advocacy IRL in these times. I’m so beyond grateful and sorry you’re path was affected and afflicted by telling this story.
I love the idea of Johnny getting excited for this video, thinking Swoop is about to tell his story and finally, FINALLY he's getting his big break and everyone will know his name...and then this happens.
Satisfying af 😌
Oh, everyone will know his name, alright. Auntie SWOOP will make damn sure 💅
YASSSSSS 😂🙌🏼❤
The schadenfreude is STRONG 😏
@@zarabee2880 you used my FAVORITE word!!!! Hardly anyone I know even knows what it means!!!!
You can progressively see in her interviews with Jonny Swoop slowly beginning to get a sour taste in her mouth about the whole situation. What a talented and intuitive journalist. Nothing but admiration.
I could feel SWOOP's fury through the screen, I dunno how she kept it together. Absolutely disgusting of Johnny.
I was waiting for someone to point this out! I thought her demeanor towards him when I first watched the first 2 videos was odd, but figured it'd be explained in their interview. Knowing now makes so much sense.
Love that you credit her as a "journalist" because clearly Swoop IS just that.
I couldn't even look at Swoop throughout those segments coz I felt like she was mad at me 😂😂
I just watched the "honestly it's almost more disturbing" section and it fully looked like Swoop would have reached through the screen and punched him if she could've. It's incredible to me that Johnny either didn't notice or care how visibly upset she was getting, even while trying to keep it under control and undetectable.
“he fucked around and found out” is the most disgusting thing to say about a domestic abuse survivor be it alleged or not…..wow Johnny you really showed your true colours with this
Seriously. Hearing him say that and the look on his face was so disturbing. He seemed to have glee over the fact that Josh was so hurt *by Colleen purely because Josh did not want to continue the ‘friendship’ they had. For Johnny to be on such a war path and be happy Josh’s marriage didn’t work out is so gross.
It truly makes me sick to my stomach.
Wow, abusers really protect other abusers. Looking at you Johnny Depp and Marylin Manson.
😐
It angered me to no end. I am a survivor of DV that was so bad that I almost lost my life. I can't explain how utterly violating the phrase 'fucked around and found out' is to hear. It is beyond disgusting that ANYONE let alone someone who is claiming to be an abuse suvivor, could say anything like that.
@@katsimpsforleviathan I’m so sorry you had to hear all those disgusting words, your trauma is so valid it really is so disgusting he said all that
- In my opinion - Johnny is a narcissistic stalker who romanticized his relationship with Joshua and is butt hurt that his false narrative didn’t work out. This is how narcissists lash out. The level of childishness this man has is ridiculous and is directly undermining the real victims stories.
This! I hit the 2:40 mark and all I could think is how much he sounds like a crazed stalker of Joshua.
Yes!
Reminds me of one of those scary celebrity stalkers that hop fences and break into the celebs mansion just to smell their pillow, steal silverware or do nasty creepy stalker things.
Johnny was and Still is OBSESSED…..he’s dangerous!
I was thinking the EXACT same thing! Major stalker vibes and when he felt rejected by josh he wanted him to hurt worse than him. Disgusting behavior.
Right he does sound like a stalker
THIS and the fact that he keeps saying what he went through is worse than what Colleen's victims went through. Like how can he keep trying to one up them??
It is so obvious that Johnny was obsessed with Josh and had a huge crush on him. So he tried punishing him for daring to reject him by making shit up. That’s next level insane and evil. It’s unbelievable how every adult in this story failed these kids each and every time. At least Josh had the guts to own up to his role in all of this, even though he wasn’t near as creepy as the rest of them was and is.
I think you’re so right. That’s why he NEEDED Josh to respond after the separation/divorce. Josh probably isn’t the type of guy to have a gay best friend since he grew up more traditional, so I don’t think they were that close in his mind. If it was about power, Josh would have asked him to do something for him at some point. That birthday message looks like a guy who’s feeling awkward because he doesn’t know the other guy that well.

Same ... and well said!

Team Adam fr
I know lol I’m so happy for him. It’s so healing to finally get to the point where you’re just like “fuck that.” After everything he’s been through, I hope he’s absolutely thriving. He deserves a break from all this bs.
And he knows where to hit an attention seeker where it hurts. 😁 again good for him!
Y'all better give Adam a break. Let him rest he needs it. He's been through hell so many times. We stand with Adam.
he deserves a break i hope something really good happens to him soon like another trip with his family or a new sponsorship just something really big and happy for him
❤
@@Iuxinteriorhe was going on a trip soon but now has to move across the country because of doxing and now has to delay the trip
Facts
@@sisvsbrotiktoksyoutubefanWait he has to leave Brighton?😢
Johnny saying someone who was abused “F’d around and found out” was so disgusting
“why didn’t you leave the relationship if it was so bad? You must’ve wanted something from it” gives the same energy to me as ‘you were asking for it’. (I know, not the exact same circumstances) but in my opinion it has the trademark flippant response about the perspective, experience and wellbeing of the victim.
What an absolutely disgusting thing to say.
"Woohoo i got a 6 hour interview with swoop!" That's so great! it's like when the police keep you in the interrogation room for over 6 hours because you're innocent.
Since this is a good ACAB moment, cops have kept plenty of people for more than six hours who were innocent. If a cop decides someone is guilty they will interrogate someone until they have them so broken down they "admit" to SOMETHING that can be used against them. If you're arrested don't answer them no matter what. Get a lawyer, say nothing.
he wasnt innocent tho?
@@duckcandleI'm pretty sure it was sarcasm
@@duckcandle they were being sarcastic
@@duckcandle thats the joke lol
Nothing is scarier than an abusive personality who thinks they’re the victim.
THISSS !!! ^^^^
And many of them are like that. I think that's a form of gaslighting. When my ex would make little jabs at me all the time and I finally snapped, he'd say "and here we go again, you're instigating a fight" and always do little things like that and make himself a victim. Him and Johnny are so similar
Basically every abusive person was a victim. They just have unhealthy ways of being in the world that they aren't addressing but everyone is still responsible for their own actions regardless of why they act the way they do.
@@slavetteThis is known as Reactive Abuse. I’m glad you’re out of that situation.
@@new0newsI’m not sure why people always bring this up, like it matters at all. If anything, it makes their choice to be abusive even worse. Most of us in abuse recovery hurt ourselves rather than hurt others.
Super ironic that Johnny accused Josh of grooming him and yet... did he not kind of stalk Josh? Obviously the dms were pretty one sided and made Johnny look a little obsessed and maybe even harassing Josh, but showing up as a "surprise" in another staye MULTIPLE times is stalker behavior.
And so bizarre that his family helped him do it?
The coming to the auto show seemed pretty stalking vibes
He did. He was a stalker. And now he’s angry that Josh didn’t chase him. Johnny is broken.
As someone who had a very inappropriate mentor based relationship with an adult: Josh's apology would have been a godsend from my abuser. It took full accountability and validated Johnny. It hurts to see how he has flipped this situation and hurt actual victims.
I THOUGHT THE SAME EXACT THING!!!! That’s all I’ve ever really wanted was accountability to be taken so I know no one else will get hurt, but YEAH RIGHT. The guilty are the ones who never apologize funny how that works.
@@BakedBrain7100I've hurt people before but at least I can ease my conscience somewhat because I apologised.
I WAS SO CONFUSED when I saw Johnny's response!! It has none of the "omg that's so validating, thank god I can stop telling myself I'm crazy" most victims get
I was searching and searching to see where I was supposed to remain angered by Josh, with that accountability.
“I’ve never felt trapped by him, I've just felt he's being incredibly irritating.”
Adam is such an icon.
You know Johnny is SO jealous of Adam. Adam has a UA-cam following in his own right. There are so many people that have been like “wait, I didn’t realize Adam was the person who came out against Colleen in 2020”. That’s not what got him his following.
@@violettefemme21I didn't even know about that. I count myself as a casual Adam fan so I guess that shouldn't be surprising but I am sure there are more casual fans like myself who didn't even know there was anything like that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was pretty awesome.
So true @@violettefemme21 I remember Adams first Colleen vid came up in my recommended at the time but I wasn't invested in her so I never watched it. It took his videos on Shane Dawson to draw me in and I've been watching ever since! His expose of Colleen played no part!!
LOL! "I can't feel trapped by him because Johnny DON'T MEAN SHIT!" I translated that into New Jersey because Adam is much too kind. 😊
johnny’s “abuser” ghosting him is BEST CASE SCENARIO ! i WISH my abuser would’ve ghosted me.
F*cking factual
fr
Haha true💯
Yeah, isn't that what all victims wish to happen? The fact that he can't grasp that concept just proves he never experienced actual grooming or abuse by Josh.
I’m 71, an old hippie and now a devout Swoop fan. This is also my first exposure to the world of influencers. Seems to be full of narcissists (surprise) classic Mean Girls and sociopaths. Kudos to Swoop for having real moral fortitude and for the great journalism.
100% fully agreed! Swoop is the G.O.A.T.!!!!!!!
This is giving "I got rejected so I'm going to ruin your life" and I hate it. Thank you, Swoop, for showing passion and compassion in this situation. I just admire the heck outta you.
Old mantra: Believe all victims
New mantra: take all accusations seriously. Investigate with compassion.
You're a role model Swoop.
that was never the mantra tho lol
@Goldenfur12698 it was for some which I always thought was a dangerous thing
@SendMeToTheVoid yeah i suppose that was more my point- for some, maybe. but for reasonable folks that was never the mantra 😅
trust, but verify.
@@SendMeToTheVoidI completely agree and have gotten into heated arguments about how dangerous it is to "believe all victims". That's how people like people like Johnny end up getting away with stuff like this. I like the new mantra. Investigate with compassion
This 6 hour interview goes to show if you let people talk for long enough then they’ll show you who they really are. Disgusting.
100% they always tell on themselves
Bam 💥
There are 2 types of liars; the ones who are smart, and the ones who are dumb. The smart liar makes 1-3 lies that are consistent and can’t be proven or disproven, and they don’t give so many details that they can contradict themselves. The dumb ones never stop talking, and can’t keep track. Remember, the best liar you know, is NOT the best liar you know.
oh yeah he want boys… i mean men in his dm’s thats a biiiiig oopsie
100% true
The moments where Johnny smiles ACTUALLY makes my skin crawl .. you can feel the evil .
RIGHT!?? The way he was talking, the slimy tone in his voice saying "He fucked arrrroooound and found ooouuut~~ *smiles " GOD that was disturbing!!
@@zzzeus78Yes! The way he said that made my skin crawl!
I call that the narc smirk I’ve seen it a few times, in person it’s worse.
Same, like it's all a small joke to him??? Like stop tf smiling bish
@@zzzeus78I hugged my dog seeing that creepy A@@@ smile like oof.
The way you were able to stay so collected throughout your interview with Johnny even when he said to your face how he thought his "ego grooming" was more disturbing than your literal r4p3 experience is extremely impressive. I would have gone ballistic-
I could sense your internal anger but he was oblivious to it. You are amazing at what you do with your interviews. You probably would not have gotten half of this information from him if he could sense you were getting angry with his responses.
You're doing the lord's work here💪💪💪✨
Honestly she handled herself incredibly well as always. He spewed so much bs and said to a survivor that he had it worse. It is deplorable behavior and I'm glad his true colours were shown so the true victims can get the support they deserve
Fr, I don't know how she does it
He has no perspective to realize how insane what he said is, or to realize her anger at that. He just has... no experience.
How can he even compare his disappointment to Swoop's experience? It's so delusional.
My fear is Colleen will try to use this opportunity to discredit every other claim against her
Yep. Let's not allow it to pass unchallenged.
Na fr I can see her trying to push it all on Johnny saying it was all his idea and she was just a loser trying to fit in🥴🥴🥴
My exact concern.
If shes crazy enough to sing an apology then she'll definitely use this to discredit everyone.
Seems orchestrated to do that to me.
"I don't care that he's a victim, because we're not talking about that story anymore". I actually gagged. There is no time limit to tell your story, there is no requirement to speak about it, there is no rule that you can't change your mind about talking about it later. You always have the right to speak your truth and you always have the right to choose not to. What a truly disgusting statement.
Words scraped from the bottom of humanity's barrel.
It felt very much like "we're talking about ME right now". Gross.
Such a disgusting thing to say. I can't believe he said that without a hint of shame.
Thank you for writing this. So many people need to read this message ❤
This made my stomach turn as well. DV/SA and grooming survivor and I just can’t even BELIEVE he would say this shit to Swoop! He fucked up there. Got too cocky with his “story”, seems like all he’s been seeing is money bags..
I honestly didn’t expect for me to get very emotional but at the part where he diminished the domestic abuse that Josh went through, I started crying because I grew up in an abusive household and I felt like he minimized the abuse I went through. I’m 37 years old and it still affects me to this day and for him to say that Josh “had his time” to talk about it is an insult to ALL victims of domestic abuse. And I HATE that I share the same birthday with this… oh I’ll be nice and say person
yeah, pain is pain
All the love and healing and Power to you. He said it with a person who shuts him down in all public.
He is a human, that's why he must be judged hard.
Johnny absolutely wanted josh to come onto him in a sexual manner. Considering how hes extremely susceptible to freudian slips, the things he says about josh really reveal where his mind was at. And the fact that he displayed stalker behavior by repeatedly showing up and “surprising” him… ugh, so obvious
Omg totally!!!!!!!
TBH I don’t think Josh did anything wrong with Johnny. It sounds like Johnny was obsessed with him and his family wanted to grift in order to get UA-cam fame. Yikes. Johnny is coming off as a scorned stalker.
Boom. Thought this from the beginning.
You know what is annoying me is Swoop is coming off to me like is annoyed that she has to admit that Josh barely done anything wrong she is not sounding like she is completely sorry
@@alistairrae98071) punctuation please. That sentence is barely legible. And 2) she’s heated that she’s been lied to and has accidentally helped Jonathan defame a man for things he didn’t do. She’s angry that she was used to belittle the actual victims in this story, and that he had the unmitigated gall to victim blame and downplay actual grooming to her face on her platform.
She’s angry she has been used, not that Josh may be innocent. Use your brain, please and thank you.
AGREE AGREEE & AGREEE
@@alistairrae9807i didnt pick that up from this video at all. lmao.
I wish these peoples names were like Octavius and Pete because keeping up with a 4 hour story about 2 dudes named John and Josh required so much more brain energy than I anticipated
frrr!!! 😭😩
i’ve been trying so hard to listen to it in the background, but i keep having to rewind it‼️😐
sometimes even when i’m reading/writing comments!! 🙄
i’m so fvcking annoyed by their names being so similar LOL.
@@mmenace2sobrietyyme too I started this vid 7 hours ago lol
Saaaaaaame
I thought it was just meeeeeee!!!
Literally, next time, I hope Swoop manages to get their middle names so it's less confusing
I hope Josh is doing ok. He was in an abusive relationship and seemingly was just trying to be kind to Johnny and gets his life turned upside down to the point where he wanted to die
The audacity of Johnny saying Josh had his moment to talk about his abuse. Does he realize it can take a victim decades to come out about their abuse. Not only that but it takes men even longer if they do at all. That is Bull.
Facts
josh should definitely sue. this could've easily turned into a horrible and sad situation. johnny DID say extremely defamatory things that can be life-ruining.
It already was so sad for josh
Josh just bought a house. He should fetch his mortgage money from Johnny.
it's totally not worth it. even with the evidence, defamation is INCREDIBLY hard to prove and would probably just be a waste of josh's time and money. plus, this might just be me, but i get the feeling that josh just wants this to all go away and live his life.
@@brianco28People always say this but the tampered evidence shows intent to lie or obfuscate, and [Johnny’s] Twitter definitely shows malice. There could be a case. The real issue is the mental toll of suing a seemingly manipulative narcissist with a victim complex.
@annavictrix exactly. I think it would be a very simple case for a decent lawyer to argue. But the mental toll it would take to have months or YEARS of an open case against someone like Johnny... just may not be worth any monetary value in the world. 😳
Trisha is the perfect example of an imperfect victim being perfectly sincere.
i knew things were way more serious than i thought when trisha was being mature and serious over the whole situation
One thing I think people constantly forget is that *bad/problematic people being problematic doesn't negate the fact that they can still be victims of others actions regardless of their past behavior. Them having a problematic past does not, and will not ever, inherently negate the notion that they could be a victim of other people's misdeeds.*
*Yes Trisha has done PLEEENTY of problematic shit in her past time on the internet,* but in this specific instance, her past behavior *does not negate the fact that in this situation,* she is a victim of someone else's misdeeds.

ADAM IS UNCOOL. I MADE CONTENT EXPOSING HIM!!!!!!!!!!!11😂
@@ville__Exposing someone for being ‘uncool’ is such an 11 year old kid thing to do. Go to school.
After watching this based on Johnny behavior, I’m starting to wonder if Johnny still is in contact with Colleen & was instructed by Colleen to try to bring Josh down with her.
A number of people have made the same comment. I don’t think that’s what happened though. JS shows through his emotional intensity that this is very personal (to him).
He is barely able to contain his rage toward those he feels didn’t help him become famous. Now he’s infamous. Hopefully, also living under a rock.
After seeing this I am wondering if JS ever "logged In" as Colleen? To bring her down. I mean he's that obsessed with her husband why not take down the one person who stands in his way.
@@jessicagonzalez141 at this point it doesn't matter. They've both proven to be terrible people who treated Josh brutally
@@Chibbykins LOL that there is the truth my friend. So true, especially seeing Josh interview.

- listen to them talk for 5-10 minutes
She talked with him for 6 hours and fooled her
@@Truecrimeresearcher224no he didn’t? She called him out on some of the inconsistencies in the interview. Just because she kept interviewing doesn’t mean she didn’t feel suspicious. She states she felt a lot of it wasn’t adding up at the time of the interview. She just stayed incredibly professional!
@@Truecrimeresearcher224no he didn't. She was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but she's shown how many times he gave her pause.
Rewatching this, I even didn't completely catch everything.
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 She wasn't fooled. She just sat quietly and gave him enough time to get tangled in his own lies. She just gave him the same grace she gave the others - undeserved, IMO.
Anyone saying that she betrayed him in the interview, she gave him MANY chances to tell the truth. He never wanted to. She decided to show what she found. Who is the real betrayer? She trusted him and was on his side, until he decided to play the bad guy.
She’s a journalist. You ask the questions. Try not to lead them to a particular answer, and watch them expose themselves.
People are saying that? I'll never understand some people.

Lie entrapment isn’t a thing.
@@emily.toombs I agree it shouldn’t be. In my opinion there’s no way to entrap a person that wouldn’t do anything wrong lol 😅 obviously its different then straight up lying ab someone that’s what Johnny is doing
I just love how the interview with Adam Swoop is wearing her 'Valid' hoodie, with Jonny she is wearing a 'petty university shirt' and the choice of this feel on point
i love this so much lmao
I’ve rewatched this numerous times (cuz swoop showing the world the real Jonny I never get tired of, it is just so gratifying!) and I never noticed this-Good eye, man! I love that!
This is quite possibly one of the most badass things I've seen on this platform. Dude you literally had like half a dozen people refusing to give out their names cause they were AFRAID of what this guy would do, you took that information and said "yk what? F*ck you. I'm gonna have the voice these victims are too hurt or intimidated to use themselves." That is truly amazing and i can't applaud you enough. I can think of a couple situations I would've wanted someone there for me like that. Well done.
The “boys…well men” slip was honestly so damning, Johnny is absolutely disgusting 🤮
And his body language straight after, he shifted in his seat! He knew he'd fucked up!
Also to say “I don’t want to be talking to girls! I’m comfortable in my sexuality” like..? The gender of the children was not the concern
@@kingworm7168 Right!? it's like somemone saying "Yeah I abused my pet, but it wasn't a dog it was a cat" ... like... my guy it's still animal abuse!
1:18:20 & 1:22:30 are the time stamps for this.
They always slip…
Calling him "John" is so notable because the nickname "Johnny" really makes him feel like a child when he's actually a grown man . Credit to you Swoop.
I never noticed that. It’s subtle. Which is the beauty of it. Great insight!
Also appreciated that !!
I named my youngest Johnny, never had a doubt about it till rn lol
I completely agree - he needs to be reminded this apparently, you are an adult!!!
Oh yeah. I forgot . My new “dad” was in the picture smiling with the crowd !!!! with his damned to Hell family. Fast forwarding: I am in my 50’s and no, of course, I have never slept in peace. Because I know monsters are real.
My mother always said "Water seeks its own level." That's pretty much what happened here. A groomer (Colleen) found a young kid that would also grow up to be groomer (Johnny) perhaps taking lessons from her. What a pair of evil people.
He's obsessed with Josh. I think he had a crush on Josh and when it didn't go anywhere, he got vindictive and obsessive. Definitely stalker energy. And he's so adamant that he's not attracted to Josh.
This is exactly what I got from the situation is that this Johnny guy was completely ruined by these two people and he did not get the attention that he received he felt rejected. So the student became the teacher and basically used to exploit these people and make himself feel better about it instead of letting it go and actually doing the work to heal from that trauma. And it's very sickening that it's like a generational cycle that needs to be broken and today society is to not become obsessed with these influencers and the celebrities they're not really good people to be influenced by because they're also human beings.
this is exactly what i was thinking
I have no idea how you remained so composed during this interview. The absolute inner strength and power it took for you to do that is incredible
Johnny really went to Joshua's place of work and then went "what is this pervert doing here" 😂😂
Please🤣🤣🤣
This comment sent me omg 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG
YES!
"This guy was obsessed with me!
- He would ghost me when I messaged him.
- He didn't leave his own show to get me in his car alone for 1-2 hours.
- He would very occasionally drop in on his wifes facetimes that I was part of with many other people.
- He posted public messages advertising his shows that I would respond to and he would show basic public appreciation at a fan supporting him
- my family had to repeatedly force him to acknowledge me for my birthday
... what a creep!"
this took me out please 😭
People who lie about being victims are why victims have a bad name. This guy, is despicable.
Yep, I have no good word for him, it's just layers and layers of disgusting. Everything about this is so wrong and triggering.
The lengths he took to fabricate that narrative. The lies and manipulation, truly disturbing. This man is a danger to society.
He’s doing a particular disservice to boys and men who find their allegations get ignored or laughed at.
@@Bjorksbackyard 100%
“Sinister” using his own words
I'm in tears. As a survivor of so much abuse. Hearing Swoop say in honest voice - you are valid and not responsible touched my inner child's heart as some of the most passionate affirmations I have ever heard.
Me too. That hit hard for me.
Thank you, Swoop, for what you said about suicide. I had all those preparations made as well, because I really thought my family and friends would be better off without me. What terrifies me is that I know that voice is still waiting to lull me into thinking I am useless and pointless. Hearing you talk about it, is making it easier to ignore that voice and stay alive. The stupid UA-cam rule that says no saying 'suicide', no talking about it, is so wrong. Thank you, thank you for being here, bold and fierce, showing us all that you know how it is. You were there on the edge of the cliff and did not go over; you show us that there is hope. You don't preach to us, but give us understanding and compassion. Thank you.
Thank you for what you shared as well. To be honest, my biggest fear is that my attempt will fail so it stops me from wanting to attempt again.
who doesnt it wrecks u dude
❤ glad your date got cancelled also. 🤗
hearing you say “i trust adam mcintyre” warms my heart. he has been done so dirty and you supporting him and trusting him is amazing.
fr thank you for validating adam and his feelings, Swoop!!!!
I'm sure that was so important to him.
Imagine being contacted by Swoop to share your story, seeing her EXTENSIVE and complete coverage, seeing her dedication to the truth, and thinking you would get away with lying to her face. If Swoop ever were to contact me and interview me, i would be too scared to even attempt to lie. Fucking wild.
bold of you to think he bothered to check her out beyond figuring out what she could give him. ie - credit & exposure
thank god Swoop saw the bs
I can't imagine spending 6 hours trying to keep lies straight and then going on to brag about it like he was so confident that it went so well.. if that was me I would be having panic attacks every 2 seconds going over in my head what I said and whether it was checkable.. pathological liars are fascinating.
I think he's so brazen partly because he believes his own lies.
No one warned him about Swoop and Crew's NASA-grade BS detectors, thankfully. Now he'll have a really hard time hurting anyone else, because the already flimsy credibility he had is in the toilet.
Right!
"Why did he stay if he knew it was so toxic?"
The same reason I subjected myself to a highly manipulative and emotionally abusive "friend" for years: fear, insecurity, and wanting.
Honest to god I could not have maintained your level of composure during that six hour interview. Having to sit through that (especially with your own history) must have been bloody horrible. Thank you for doing what you do and for your empathy and resilience in supporting and advocating victims.
Interesting how he wanted to use Swoop to spread his lies but instead got exposed as a creep, abuser, manipulator, and compulsive liar. Guess he fucked around and found out.
Best comment 🎉
Can I just say something? As a parent, I am incredibly disturbed at the way Johnny’s parents have behaved through all this. Especially hassling Josh and trying to force him to get close to Johnny. Sorry but the whole family ain’t right.
Seriously! I was thinking the same thing, can't even imagine setting such a poor example for my own kids! Shameful.
What’s with the people Colleen attracts?
another thing him and colleen have a common
Seriously. And then shaming Joshua bc he "just sells car"... what kind of snobbish people are they
As someone in education, I see these parents more and more. They feel their child is entitled to something. Like entitled to the attention of Josh and Colleen and will manipulate whatever truth to have their child face zero consequences and come out on top. It’s genuinely concerning. But we see it in education daily. Manipulating and gaslighting and a shift in blame on teachers or administration because the kid could never make a mistake and God forbid own it. Perpetual victimhood is akin to narcissism.
Imagine being so petty that someone ghosts you, so you try to ruin their life. Is this just a Bojack Horseman level self sabatoge?
Hearing Swoop tell Johnny off not just on behalf of these victims, but every victim everywhere is so, so cathartic and reassuring as a victim of DV myself...
It's because of people like this so many victims of all kinds aren't taken seriously.
1:39:48 - Johnny: "it's inappropriate for adults to be friends with children."
Swoop: "Yet the entire time Johnny has been publicly blasting adults for being in group chats, he has been in at least one and that doesn't include the other group chats he's been in with minors..."
Why is it the loudest people almost always have the most to hide?
Calling sexual grooming "pretty cut and dry" is certainly a, uh, choice.... wow and the fact he literally *laughed* about Josh being a victim, like what the actual *fuck*, this is just awful and disgusting and cruel and horrible. What a piece of work...
and to add on, thinking of sexual abuse as a black and white situation such as "cut and dry" can be so harmful to victims...abuse is so complex and layered and varies from person to person, for him to say that was sick.
@acklesis and to Swoop on all people, who has been very open about the shit she's been through. I seriously applaud her for not losing her cool on him cuz I absolutely would've torn into him 😭
Genuinely felt sick to my stomach hearing it, invalidates every single victim who had complex feelings and struggled to identify their abuse. Manipulation alone in its self is the exact opposite of "cut and dry"
I feel less bad for how I felt during the H3H3 podcast. Something just felt so off about how he kept talking and talking and talking without saying anything when the other 3 had actual things to say.
Like, I'm not a conspiracy person, but if it came out that Johnny was working with Colleen as a fake victim plant - I would believe it. Though he likely just has some very serious issues with no understanding of parasocial relationships.
Literally.. you cannot “gatekeep” who’s grooming was worse. Grooming is grooming period.
In my personal opinion no one that had been victimized by grooming would say something that f@&king stupid.
It’s honestly giving stalker. He was so obsessed with Josh and felt hurt when he didn’t reciprocate the ‘effort’. Now he’s on a warpath to destroy Josh’s reputation as a way of revenge. Stalkers love you until they realise YOU don’t love them.
Even with the little sprinkle of “you’re not that hot anyway.”
Honestly seemed like he wanted his life
johnny literally can’t hide his glee talking about this, he told on himself and was so confident he’d get away with it
Yes- a truly traumatized person wouldn’t be gleefully announcing “I struck gold!” upon finding their alleged groomer’s messages. He told on himself over and over. Truly soulless.
3:41:13 “ I’ve never felt trapped by him, I just find him incredibly irritating.” May I have the strength of character to say this if I’m ever in a similar situation. What an outstanding statement
My admiration for you extends well beyond this moment and this situation. You are the type of person that the world, and more specifically, this community, is in need of.
You've given me back a significant portion of my life. I was suicidal and became a laughingstock to thousands. You took my grief seriously and guided me in ways that I'm still processing. Thank you very much, Swoop. You're doing the hard work. You are more than a slogan (like my Be Nice to People motto). You live it... You demonstrate the truth, the receipts, and the heart that matters.
Thank you 🙏🏻 🎈
The truth always prevails ❤️
keep on keepin on. 🙌
We see you Josh
God bless you Josh!!!!
The devil runs the playground but God owns the building. God bless you Joshua
Let’s not take away from the fact that Colleen and her team fostered this culture of weird inappropriate behavior with minors. And the cycles continues and expands. And she has given multiple people access and a platform to exploit her under age fans
I think that this document highlights that,not takes away from it. Not being combative, just commenting .
Thats litterally what she said at the end of the video lmao
It’s not taking away from Colleen. Johnny needed to get called out just as Kodee was called out. At the end of the day, Johnny was an extension of Colleen and his victims needed to be heard
No one’s taking away from it. She’s highlighting a seperate part
Excellent Work Swoop and team!!!
“He remained in the relationship-“ your face seriously went 😑 I respect your level of professionalism because I’d have started a fight right there.
Watching this after the Josh interview… makes this so much worse, I wonder if John is still connected with Colleen. Hearing Josh identify exactly what kind of person John was, the stalker level of obsession he had with Josh, and how Josh viewed his relationship with John… my heart breaks for Josh, he did not deserve any of the abuse he received from Colleen, her friends and fans, and from John.
Johnny is someone who formed a parasocial relationship with somebody, then went full scorch earth when it wasn't reciprocated... dude is unhinged. Absolutely heartbroken for the victims involved. His words were disgusting. Abuse victims deserve better
Johnny is a victim of his own delusions.
This exactly.
Yeah listening to all of this about him, he is dangerous. He is so damn dangerous. Like he has led a trail of destruction already and I fear for what this guy will do in the future too.
All I hear is “oh, Colleen was mean to you? I gave you chances to be with me instead and you didn’t take them. Guess that pain you suffered is all on you.” It’s like a weird twist on the incel line of “you only like assholes, I’m a nice guy, I gave you a chance and you didn’t take it,” even with the dash of “you’re not that hot anyway.”
Two phases that came to mind while listening to Johnny were, "star f**ker" and "fame w**re". He wants fame and attention and there is no cost he won't pay to get it, it seems. It's pretty sick to go to such measures in order to get people to "like you". He needs therapy...and a lot of it.
This man really picked the wrong one to lie to. A 3 hr doc proves that SWOOP might be kind and understanding...
But she is NOT a doormat and NOT to be trifled with. She will set the record straight. And she will come with receipts. Proud of you keeping us up to date SWOOP and holding him accountable. Keep being awesome
It’s 4 hours
Yaaaasssssss!!! THIS!! 💗✊🏼
@@ReviewsAndMore9part 1 was 3
The rage I saw build up in her while talking to Adam was kinda scary. It was her calm before the storm aka this video. Swoop is not to be fucked with
The only downside to this is how Colleen's fans are now saying "See, one lied so they all lied" (their subreddit is crawling with those opinions). Of course if you have half a braincell you'll see how none of what John lied about diminishes the truth of the victims that came forward and actually have evidence to show for it, then again if you have half a braincell you won't still be a fan of Colleen
i almost started sobbing when you said that the victim had to throw away their clothes. without going into detail, i had a friend SA me and it affected me so much that i couldnt wear my favourite pants ever again
That’s horrible ☹️
i hope you’re healing, similar thing happened to me 🩷 its not your fault, i love you, see you, and hear you 🩷
Oh man! People like Johnny are part of the reason why victims aren't always believed. This level of a manipulation that's so scary. Johnny and Colleen are two peas in a pod. How absolutely selfish. Thank you so much for covering this. I was such a huge Miranda fan, but was never part of the fandom.
Never play poker against SWOOP because if she managed to keep her cool through 6 hours of this sociopath then she could be holding a deck of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and she'd still win the hand
She’d win the hand because she’d have all five pieces of Exodia. Not even a royal flush could beat that. But a Reverse Uno _would_ be problematic… until she plays her own Reverse Uno.
@@lemniscus1356 just when you think you've got her tell spotted turns out you were in a pie eating competition. SWOOP keeps you on your toes
Long story short, Johnny is jealous of Adam, which is disgusting because who actually gets jealous that someone was manipulated, abused, and groomed?? It’s also really fucking ironic because didn’t Johnny describe Korey as being an extremely self hating, jealous person? Sounds like projection. I will ALWAYS support and believe Adam, and it is disgusting that Johnny would open the door even a crack to people trying to discount Adam’s story. I cannot credit Adam enough for his poise and maturity at his young age-we can all see your strength and honesty Adam.
It's the attention, from the groomer and from those sympathetic to the victim.
PREACH
It's absolutely wild when you meet people who do have jealousy for attention towards survivours of abuse. I did grow up with a friend like that until I was old enough to walk away from her. But yes, absolutely. What kind of person. Really.
@@hiddenechoes I had something very similar happen to me as a minor/young adult. It’s beyond confusing and hurtful, to have someone not only try to take your story as their own, but to instinctively feel that jealously they have for something you wish you had never experienced. I hope Adam is taking care of himself 😔
Basically Johnny is a pick me. This isn't trauma to Johnny it's an opportunity. I think he had fantasies of Joshua and him running off into the sunset and it never happened.
Rewatching after the josh doc and I fully believe my theory that johnny had an unrequited crush on josh, and when josh didn’t give johnny the reaction to him coming out that he wanted. Johnny felt wronged and decided depicting josh in a terrible light was him getting revenge.
Clearly Johnny is not an abuse survivor but a clout chaser using other abuse victims platform to get more popular which is disgusting. Add to the fact that he is doing the exact same thing with his own fans for gosh sake! He’s also trying to one up the other abuse victims but what he’s actually achieving is one upping the actual abusers he’s almost as bad as Colleen at this point!
Josh has been going through it for YEARS. He can't get away from it. Just when he starts pulling himself up, Colleen and her followers come out of nowhere to push him back down. Adam has gone from a sweet kid with a loud personality to a careful young man who is carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. It's really heartbreaking to see how much pain and suffering has been caused. Even more frustrating, is that narcissists like Colleen and those around her have a complete inability to understand or care about it. They'll keep treating people like this their entire lives. That's why it's important to talk about it, learn to recognize it, and stay FAR away.
Wow. I love how nuanced Swoop makes her docs. It’s just not this broad brush- she gets INTO THE TRUTH.
“Flying monkeys”, are the worst
This 💯💯
I feel so bad for Josh and I hope he is doing well
It's so funny bc I commented on every video I saw and said I don't think this is right, I don't think josh is a gr****r, and I thought Johnny was taking it too far. And nobody agreed because they just love the idea of getting the dirt and villainizing people. I wasn't falling for it. So glad.
I’m so glad my gut instinct about Johnny was right. This guy is unhinged and clearly a stalker to Josh. The fact his family has no problem with jumping over boundaries speaks volumes. Who shows up to someone’s work?! Then makes this whole creepy pattern of showing up to every event and lying about how special you are. This man is DANGEROUS
I didn't pick it! I feel so embarrassed that I felt for him! OMG, what a horrible person😢
exactly how I felt about Kodee, especially watching adam's first videos about her and their call. It was like everyone trusted her because Adam did, until he realized.
It's so unfortunate that Johnny got away with this for as long as he did. Thank the Lord for Swoop and her team exposing this creep!
Tbh I'm new to this entire drama. But when I heard Johnny talk in the h3 podcast, my first thought was... He sounds too chill to be a victim. I kept watching and idk Johnny just seemed inconvenience to be talking about it. So half assed. Now this came out. I'm not surprised? I'm not happy about being right but it's just interesting when we get hunches and we can't quite pinpoint what it is.
Very dangerous and my exact thoughts!
I accidentally found your interview with Josh. I had NOOOOO idea this drama was even going on (I forgot Colleen and Josh were even married/divorced) but, let me tell you one thing, I watched THIS video after Josh's and HOLY SHIIIIT! Johnny is T-R-O-U-B-L-E! Holy crap. He was annoying the shit out of me. I'm not even a victim of grooming and I was pissed.
THANK YOU for making this video and doing interviews the way you do. The world needs more creators/people in general like you!
Watching this after Josh's interview and feel it's important to note that all of Johnny's behavior toward Josh here is AFTER Johnny bullied the man online for YEARS. The level of entitlement it takes to behave like this to someone he did and continued to harass, bully, and victimize is wild.
Hate to say it, but the second Johnny put up those messages with Trisha's pictures, basically re-victimizing her in the process, I started looking at everything he was doing a little harder. His involvement in everything has just screamed "INCLUDE ME, I DESERVE ATTENTION TOO." Kinda like maybe he felt like he needed to be seen as a victim too, so that no one would be looking that hard into the shit he has done himself.
The fact that he basically bragged about having such a long interview with you is so gross. Like he seriously was trying to "out-victim" the others and show that he was the most important. And that just shows exactly the type of person he is.
the thing about him expecting someone to come fetch him from the airport when they're about to do a show is the bit that got me. "little johnny left down here at the airport", that's such a super bizarre thing to say! johnny legit seems to believe the entire world should cater specifically to him and when it doesn't he cries and pretends to be a victim. delusional to the max
@@drdyer23 Yeah...little 18/19yo Johnny pretending he was 17 so the optics seemed better...so creepy.
@@compassionandhumilitytotally infantalising himself
Same here!! It gave me such a bad vibe. Well said.
Yeah, I got iffy feelings about him when he appeared on the Do We Know Them podcast, and then his releasing of those images in the way he did really put me off. He just seemed to… happy? To talk about all this.
The way Johnny misuses “trauma bond” is so indicative of how he capitalizes on the victim’s actual trauma. He sees excitement, power and attention in another human’s wound. It’s really upsetting and scary.
THIS!!!!!
It’s like he only sees the amount of validation they’re getting. Which is probably why they didn’t speak up back when it first went down too
2:47:48 Im a DV survivor as well. The fact that you were able to keep your cool while he said this-girl props to you bc I would have flipped a shit sideways and cut the interview. Knowing what we go through as survivors, it makes me so happy to see you shining and walking in your purpose. Love you and your body of work. Keep dragging these dark stories into the light and making the world a better place 🖤
You can see the rage building in Swoops eyes. I’m so glad he was to full of himself to notice. As a fellow survivor I’m sending internet hugs an I hope things are much better for you
I really wish I could have seen Johnny's reaction to this, when he realizes how much he actually screwed up
I am a DV survivor. And that made me cry when Swoop said that stuff about Johnny saying DV saying we had a time limit to talk about it and when Swoop said she’s there for us! Everyone else who is a DV survivor (including you Swoop!🫶🏻❤️😊) I love you guys and we are so strong for dealing with that. And/or are still going through that. And the fact that Johnny said Josh didn’t leave his abuser soon enough? And pressuring him to Marry her? Johnny I was on your side…and this video breaks my heart and I was full force for you..and then you say this….man…idk what to say…💔😢
I started to feel weird about Johnny after the H3 interview. He took over the whole thing and talked over serious victims. The fact that Oliver barely got to talk at all when the Trent story is so disturbing….
Same! I felt that he was taking over and I just felt strangely about it.
literally! and even when i was watching it i felt bad for thinking it but i was like god when is he gonna stop talking??😅
@@destinyyyy8577 yes!
Absolutely the vibes were so off
Same! I felt so icky about him in the H3 Video. He stuck out like a sore thumb. All excited to be there and full of himself while the others were genuinely struggling with the topic because they are real victims. 😮
Can we talk about how scary it is that the content Colleen made attracted so many pedos/ predators? Like if her fans weren’t kids they where predators! So scary.
It's so sad but that tends to be how predators work. They latch onto jobs/hobbies that kidd are involved in :/
I'm so glad I never heard of her til now
Her content literally reflected sex and pedophilia with her uncle. I'll never forget this one clip she posted. I hated her since day 1. Idk how y'all never noticed
Yup. She caused a whole ass ad apocalypse and is responsible for the creation of UA-cam Kids, which is still terrible, but at least doesn’t have pèdos timestamping all over the now disabled comments section anymore!
Damn this is such a good point
I wish with my entire being that Swoop and her team could see how truly and deeply important the their work is to the world. This content is saving the lives of so many past, current, and future victims around the world. The most painful, nuanced, and complicated conversations are the ones we ALL desperately need to hear and learn from
When I was in middle school, my best friend was a very difficult person to be around. She was obsessive, clingy, manipulative, and just flat out unempathetic. Her pain and experiences were always more valid than that of other people. We were friends because I was easy to control, I didn't really have anyone else. She used my deepest insecurities and pains against me. Johnny reminds me of her to an uncomfortable level. People like that are draining to be around and, at least in my experiences, can change how you see yourself and the people around you. I hope he gets help and realizes how in the end, his actions will only end up harming him in the long run.
2:47:42 saying “fucked around and found out” in reference to domestic violence is genuinely vile. this is coming from someone who has survived dv.
edit: to all my fellow survivors in the comments, i see you. you are valid and strong and you did not deserve ANY of what happened to you. this man doesn’t speak for us. sending love and healing🩷
Same, this made me absolutely livid
Same. It's horrid.
And the smile afterwards
ngl, as someone who was beaten while pregnant and still stayed, him saying that made me cry. it’s so gross that there are people that think this way
@@sulhwayuk6228 reading your comment made me well up. So sorry you went through that and are being triggered by insensitive dickhead remarks like that.
The way that Johnny so obviously had a crush on Joshua and is furious that it wasn't reciprocated is mindblowing. And now he's retaliating. The way he is trying to insert himself into the situation, the gaslighting manipulation and pathological lying. Wow. What a guy.
EDIT: is anyone else getting actual classic narcissism vibes fromJohnn's behaviour. it's so blatant i am getting triggered. heart palpitations. the rage
100% narcissistic
Yes. 100% narcissist. He inserted himself into Josh’s life like he owed him something and was furious this grown man didn’t center him in his life. I’m getting vindictive revenge vibes also from the way Johnny gaslit Josh into apologizing to him too. This is wild.
Yes I thought so too, he sounds scorned and trying to get revenge
I think he truly thought he had found the perfect opportunity: he would be able to get the public attention and validation he so desperately wants by pigbacking on the real victims stories while also getting his revange to someone he felt wronged by bc josh never gave him the attention he also so desperately wanted. I bet in his mind it as a win-win situation, until swoop came along and screwed his whole plan up. I bet he’s PISSSED was blindsided and exposed like that
@@lalailmTHIS THIS THIS.
The way Swoop was able to keep a straight face during her interviews with him is award winning. I would be saying tooo much hearing the things he was saying about Josh fucking around and finding out.
I used to be a die hard Colleen fan and now after the series I'm a die-hard Swoop fan. Thank you for telling this story and all the truths that needed to come out. Sending love from Los Angeles 💛💜
1:09:40 As someone who has barely survived 2 abusive relationships, Johnny saying, "You were a grown man in an absuive relationship and you stayed in it," is SO GROSS! When you're a victim of abuse, it is so incredibly difficult to leave and get the help you need. People do not choose to get abused, and victims should NEVER be blamed for staying in unhealthy situations. Their abuser(s) should be blamed for hurting them! Fück Johnny Silvestri, what a disgusting excuse of a man.
Yup that my my first clue to how awful he could be. So absurd
he told on himself so many times. and that smug ass look on his face... he thinks it's all just really funny and that he is smarter than everyone in the room. sorry, johnny, swoop don't play those silly little games.
No fr. I was groomed at 14 for almost two years and that comment made me sick to my stomach. Johnny is a Pos
Sending you so much love.
Exactly! Being gaslit can rob you of your trust in your own judgment, “can I trust that I’m even making the right choice to leave?”
Being threatened can keep you in too. A tactic that is often used against men is “I’ll tell everyone how abusive you are to ME” this can get you to the point where you can’t even righteously argue back or you’re “abusive”
Male abuse survivors are often disregarded/insulted as which can make coming out about it difficult.
TLDR; you are 100% right. What Johnny said is *vile!*
For him to say Josh was a grown man who could have gotten out of an abusive relationship if he wanted to but than turn around and say he was an adult who was abused by Colleen makes no sense. With that logic, Johnny was also a grown man who could have left the abusive relationship and didn’t. He went to see Colleen just this year as a 26 year old man, knowing all the horrific things she did.
Yep he’s just trying to get attention it’s pretty clear narcissistic
To him it sounds like only he can be a victim, disgusting person.
Everything Johnny said was hypocritical. Everything.
he's not very smart.
Or even further, to say that he was being abused by Josh in some way when he really obviously could have just stopped messaging him. A lot of what Johnny came up with only barely makes sense the way he frames it. If you change anything, it becomes very confusing if not inaccurate. One thing about the truth is that it is often a mirror image of itself. If something is truly wrong in one context, it'll be wrong in a similar context. It's wrong to wield romantic power to attract and harm children. It's wrong to wield the power of fame to attract harm children. So if "It is not wrong to take your time realizing and leaving a domestically abusive relationship... unless it's Josh, in which case it's stupid." Then how is it not also stupid of Johnny to have taken his time realizing and leaving ANYONE? By his own standards he's a fucking fool.
Lol i wish i could have seen Johnny's reaction when he realized he failed at manipulating you & to see what direction this video REALLY took.
I’d pay good money to see his reaction 💀💀💀 but sadly his lies have an impact on real victims 😢
Apparently he lost his mind on Twitter.
@@yesterdayitrained LOL did he really, I'm waiting for him to drop a video.
@@BawsStatus I think he’s hiding under his bed. In the basement. With the lights off. There is no way to explain away what he did. It was pure malice.
@@yesterdayitraineddo tell??
