#JoshuaBassett
this guy is the definition of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", glad he's feeling better now.
Yesss
Ikr ✨
Yes
True. This guy is a completely different person than the happy-go-lucky Josh from HSMTMTS season 1
So is every other person with heart failure who survives 😭
Zach being so passionate about his care for Joshua and hate for those who hurt him gives me so much more respect.
Unrelated but Jesus loves you Have an amazing day
Preach
Yes, that's precisely why I respect Zach. He holds a safe space for everyone.

the fact that a disney star is publicly advocating for sexual assault survivors by sharing his experience as a male CSA survivor is so fucking monumental, and yet its being overshadowed by breakup discourse. all they have to say to him is “stop whining” and “you’re digging up old drama” and sometimes the fun “you cant be raped, you’re a man.” even now, nobody with influence wants to support him. it’s so fucking bizarre, i genuinely don’t get it. how does moving on quickly from a relationship make you so taboo?
EXACTLY !!!!
NO FRL AND EVERYONE IS IGNORING IT JUST BECAUSE OF THE DRAMA
EXACTLY!! People are just far too invested in the drama
What is csa?
@@maciedixon3983 child sexual assault
I've been so caught up in Olivia's album helping me through tough times that this interview made me realize how much negative impact it had too and what damage it did. It's so sad that society needs so sensationalize the poor people's life. I have so much respect for Joshua, his courage and his strength.
exactly!! i feel the same
Wow same here
Literally same
Not because you respect Joshua, you have to bring down the work of Olivia.
@@adrianagalindo7797 i don't. I still appreciate it and listen to it almost daily. But that doesn't change the fact about anything that happened around it.
this man is one of the strongest people i’ve seen. so much respect for him.
Yes, super strong dude. But stongest person youve seen??? Come on people. You can jjst say youre proud of a person.
@@jaxo5679 oh good lord SHUDDUPPPP
@@jaxo5679 think about all he has went through this year and tell me he doesn’t have to be one of the strongest people to survive that
@@datboihumpty54 I’m kinda in the dark on this one. What exactly has he been through? Other than the whole drivers license thing?
@@anine7212 hi :) I think the comment is also talking about his strength through mental and physical health when he was hospitalized due to septic shock from what him abs his doctors think is caused by stress and also that he has been sexually assaulted a couples times throughout his life from a young age I believe
he’s been so broken, abused, sick, and suffering so much mental and physical pain yet he speaks so well spoken and graceful about some of the toughest topics in life
im genuinely so so so proud of him
I feel bad for him
I mean she said Taylor Swift is her idol and we can see how Taylor is doing the same to Jake Gyllenhaal and fueling the fire to the hate.
@@amerhst1201 lol she isn’t doing anything. It’s the fans. Taylor is unbothered… the relationship has been over for like 10 years now and taylor is in a strong relationship of almost 6 years. I doubt she cares
joshua deserves the world. no matter if you love olivia, you cant hide from the fact that he really struggled and he deserves nothing but happiness now. he was stressed to the point of near death and it still does not sit right with me that olivia hasn’t acknowledged any of it.
Ikr many Olivia fans dont get that
I realize I’m late, but literally this, I completely 100% agree with this 👏🏼👏🏼
what do you expect her to say? she doesn’t owe him anything
@@courtneykane5036 I mean, that is true but at the same time, some of her fans went after him with death threats. He ended up in hospital due to the fallout of the song. If she did love him, the least she could do is ask her fans to back down and be considerate of what they are saying. Some of them are literally out here invalidating his sexual assault, saying he deserved it because what, he moved on so quickly after their break up? That is appalling. And ik most of these people are teenagers saying this sorta stuff, they don't have the perspective or understanding of someone 5, 10, 15 years older than them so Olivia actually acknowledging it would actually do something.
@@alexoakden9016 she barely had a fandom at that time, it was mainly the gp sending hate which she doesn’t really have an influence over. he would’ve ended up in the hospital whether she said something or not unfortunately because most people wouldn’t have listened. it also wasn’t her fans invalidating his sa, it was trolls so i don’t see what olivia has to do with that. even if it was her fans, do you really think she’s aware of everything they’re saying on the internet at all times? no one expects any other artist to speak up every time their fans are being horrible so why do y’all expect olivia to? not to mention we don’t know if she’s comfortable speaking on a heavy topic like sa.
The overwhelming urge to hug this man.... His bravery is everything. The world definitely owes him a biiig apology
I absolutely feel for him for what he went through in his past in relation to abuse and such but I do take issue that he lied about stress causing him to go into sepsis. That’s not how that works at all. Sepsis is caused by an infection NOT stress. And the heart failure is a very common follow up problem after sepsis. While I do not in any way condone bullying or threats I also don’t condone lying and trying to throw someone else under the bus for medical issues that they absolutely didn’t cause.
@@tiffanybrakefield4600 if you actually listened they said that they still don’t know what happened but they believed it was stressed triggered. He might possibly had an infection.
@@tiffanybrakefield4600 he also didn't mention anyone!
He said stressed caused
Very cautious all the interview and you kind went against the whole message that Joshua had to say.
Lets not assume things without knowing the full story right?
Hope you have a good year, stay safe :)
@@tiffanybrakefield4600 he also had a heart failure. caused by high blood pressure. caused by stress. lets not downplay what medical professionals have said. the last thing joshua wants to hear is that he's faking it
I mean she said Taylor Swift is her idol and we can see how Taylor is doing the same to Jake Gyllenhaal and fueling the fire to the hate.
I was genuinely emotional throughout this entire podcast. Joshua is a beautiful human being. I’m in awe by his grace and humility. What an amazing example he is as someone with a large platform. I just wanna be his friend tbh.
I started crying- his mindset makes me feel like I can actually BE better. I've been struggling with how negative I've been and I just want to be positive and his words helped me understand that I've just been putting out so much negativity through my words- it's crazy. I respect that so much
@@oliviaknight7789 ikr
Ye I just felt sad through the whole thing bc I felt bad for him 🔥
@@oliviaknight7789 love this
Ikr
This is literally insane, he was DYING and people still hated on him relentlessly. Just goes to show that you really never know what someone is going through. Love you joshy 💕
for real, the world owes the biggest apology to this angel❤️
Thank Jesus for keeping this man aliveee!!!
@@WerkitBabe jesus wasnt the reason hes alive
@@inesgassetpeinado yes it is.
@@WerkitBabe no it’s not lol it’s him not giving up and him fighting for his life that he’s alive it’s not some old fictional persons fault that he is alive
“Maybe these friends aren’t aligning with the person I’m becoming” is SO important 🙌🏼 There doesn’t have to be toxicity or beef, but you know when it’s time to go!!
❤👊🏿
this one line made me feel so much better about ending a friendship i had in the past. I've had some guilt for a while because it didn't go peacefully.
Time stamp please
As a male child abuse everything that Joshua is saying is 100% true. It took me ages to be angry and to allow me to be angry. It took me until I was 21 and an adult myself that I was furious.
*virtual hug*
realising that this man was a part of a christian theatre, that this man grew in such a toxic environment being treated w shame, that this man was sexually abused, that this man was bullied, that this man HAD A 30% chance of living and that this man was on the verge of death makes me so mad at how our society will still rather look at the lies and rumours that is being put out by people that has absolutely nothing to do but spread bullshit. this man still have the heart to choose to see the humanity in a person rather than THEIR DRIVE that is fueled by anger and insecurity . this man chose to smile and understand people who couldn’t have the heart to just shut up. JOSHUA U ARE AN INSPIRATION, and i can’t fathom enough how precious u are bro ily
Sometimes even a 70% sadly isn’t strong enough 😔
It makes me mad that ppl harass celebrities and then cry about them commiting suicide. If i were Joshua, i wouldn't have made it. We're lucky that he's so strong
Christian theatre? What's that and why is it a bad thing?
@@justuravergekpopluvinfeminist the environment ???? in general and speaking from experience, there are always going to be people in churches that’ll shame people for ridiculous things like sexuality and identity. it usually doesn’t end well. i mentioned christian theatre not to shame christians or their community, but to educate them as they are being classified as a toxic environment if they continue advocating or for the most part about how sinful it is . speaking a christian, all i know from Our God is love. and i think that’s what christianity is about. it doesn’t have to be complicated, just love .
@@alles2339 Well, since you're Christian, I feel like we can have a decent conversation about this. As a Christian, I too know that God is love. But I also know that he is a righteous judge. In Christianity to love someone is to, not only treat them respect and kindness, but also to tell them the truth according to the Bible. Shaming someone for something they can't help is wrong, especially when that person isn't even Christian. I think that it's all about how and when you deliver your message that makes a difference. I will say that shaming someone for what they can't help is wrong especially when that person is a brother/sister in Christ. Rather than shaming them, IF THEY WANT IT, you should help them move away from that attraction. ONLY IF THEY WANT IT. If not, the only thing you can do is love on them. As for the Christian community being toxic, it's not true. Every belief system has some bad apples and, while some beliefs systems are just plain evil, most of them tend to have a good message especially Christianity which is that God loved us so much that he died for us. Most Christians are amazing people. I've experienced both bad and good and I can tell you that the number of good outweighs the bad. I still don't know what Christian theatre is.....
Joshua is honestly such a kind and genuine person. I absolutely love him
no hate but if hes kind why did he cheat?
@@spacenukeszhe didn’t
Joshua is honestly so inspirational and he really doesn’t deserve all the things he has gone through! After listening to this I could go on a rant about why he doesn’t deserve the hate to anyone who disagrees! He is so strong and I can’t believe he has gone through so much! I mean he was dying in hospital with a 30% chance of survival, he was abused as a kid, ppl would play the songs about him when he went into coffee shops over and over , was groomed, abused at 5! and he is still really young and he has gone through so much and deserves the world! My respect for him is sky rocketing and he is one of the strongest people emotionally that I’ve seen.
One perfect comment
I’m speechless by Joshua… he’s the kind of people we need more of. He acknowledged and took accountability for whatever he may have done but he’s also done the ground work to be better. You can tell how genuine he is by how passionate he is. Idk I wish I had more people like that in my life too.
The amount of hate he got for moving on from a relationship was awful. He didn’t deserve it and he didn’t especially didn’t deserve to be told by the internet that he couldn’t be SA’d because he is a white man and that he lying about it for attention. Joshua really seems like a great person that was just dog piled by bandwagon hate. Props to him for continuing to pursue his passions. Hopefully people will realize how fucked up it was to hate on him and appreciate him for his talents.
exactly and tbh i don't even think he was the one who moved on from the relationship based on what he said in crisis which makes it even more unjust that he would receive this hate
@@abneryates4304 ikr
It’s ironic because he’s not in a relationship rn and doesn’t want to be in one but she is in a relationship rn
@@NOCLUEinvalid wait he is not dating sabrina? (just genuinely asking cuz i dont know)
@@monstercat3628 no they broke up in may/june
everyone owes him an apology. he didn’t deserve any of the hate he got :(
he barely got hate😭😭😭😭 and the hate he did get people were holding up accountable
@@maincoasters so you didnt see the death threats or people invalidating his sexual assault? what side of social media r u on??
@@atrueintellect8176 they tell people to “kill themself” all the time
@@maincoasters and that make it better....... Ok the logic im not on anyones side but what u said is dumb cause if thousands told u to die u would feel a way
@@maincoasters um what people literally told him to kill him self and others said if they saw him on the street they would kill him. The same thing happened to Sabrina carpenter
Joshua is wise beyond his years. It really rubbed me the wrong way that Olivia never took 1-2 minutes out of her day to post a short tweet or story asking people to stop sending hate on her behalf. It would have gone such a long way.
Omg same don’t get me wrong I love her music and his but omg just because of that it gives me a really bad vibe that she never spoke out during the heat of the fire. Like her toxic “fans” nearly killed him from the amount of stress they were putting onto him.
Ehhh I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’d go a long way. Some fans are relentless when they get this idea in their head that someone hurt their idol, they literally can’t even begin to see the other side, nor would they care who tells them to stop.
I agree, although I do think that her PR team limited her very harshly with what she could and couldn’t post. Take may 2021 vs july 2022 for example. Hsmtmts season 2 came out right around sour did and she didn’t post about it. Season 3 premiere she did. So although i agree with you its possible that her pr team advised her against it.
"sometimes these friends aren't alligning with the person I'm becoming"
thank you joshua, I needed to hear that
'When people have shitty friends, they settle because they don't have any other friends. And they think, well I can't abandon these friends 'cause I'll be alone. You're better off alone than with shitty friends' - Joshua Bassett. Amen to that indeed! As someone who had 2 shitty friends throughout high school, I wish I had the courage at the time to speak up for myself and leave that friendship. I've never in my life felt as alone as I did throughout high school. I had friends but they didn't care about me or didn't include me in any way. Joshua, I seriously wanna thank you for saying this. It means more than you can ever know!
I went through the same thing ( I am still in high school) and leaving that friend group was freeing. I honestly felt more lonely standing there with them ignoring me than I do now that I can be myself, even if I'm eating alone at lunch. These choices can really change people's lives. I'm glad Joshua brought this up.
oh
As someone who is actively in that situation, I think the more difficult part is rewiring your mentality from that first statement and actively choosing to leave them. I think it takes a lot of strength and courage to accept that, but thats so difficult to do when your self image is already so low from a toxic situation. It's effectively an endless loop that a lot of people struggle to break.
We need help to Olivia
zach looked so invested this entire interview. you can clearly tell that he cares and is interested in everything josh is saying and that’s really great
I absolutely love the energy he's giving josh!
right, in every interview I saw of Zach's he's always willing to make everyone that he interviews feel like they are always welcome and like if its a safe space
not only that but he had every opportunity to have a juicy title with olivias name but he didnt. great guy.
joshua is such a well spoken, genuinely kind-hearted dude. like i’ve never seen someone speak so kindly and even protect other people who have hurt them so badly. his empathy is incredble and infectious. his parents seriously did a great job raising him
When Joshua said “My purpose is greater than your disapproval of me”… WOW
this just proves that the internet is a rabbit hole of lies and no one knows crap about what they're talking about. stan josh for life, and honestly what a respectable, kind person.
"My purpose is greater than your disapproval of me"
Best quote ever said 🥺
I am hanging that on my wall
"my purpose is greater than your disapproval of me" having to navigate the ever-shifting landscape of trauma recovery and actively working every day in my own career to raise awareness and change the system, this will be the quote that gets me through it all. Thank you, Joshua, for your transparency and resilience, and thank you Zach for your kindness and your platform.
Fuck man, he’s only a month younger than me and I seriously cannot understand the amount of stress and trauma this dude has gone through. He deserves to speak on his story and the fact that he IS advocating for so many things, especially SA and a MALE survivor when most are never put in the spotlight, it’s amazing.
My mom was one of the first Covid patients in the ICU in March 2020. And her health kept declining everyday. Heart and lungs were failing. Doctors were starting to lose hope. And once I started asking the ceiling if she was gonna be ok I felt this rush of ease and I immediately stopped crying. Next day doctors said they were gonna wake her up from her coma soon because she was starting to get ready breath on her own again.
That’s amazing! I pray she heals fully💕
🥺🥺
My cousin has been in a coma since last December, she was 27 and about to get married.
That’s the peace of God.
We all sin against God. Jesus died for our sins so we may be redeemed and have eternal life. Repent of sin and turn to Christ. He loves you so much
@@natalia-yg8gh amen 🙏🏾❤️
what josh is saying here is crucial. i absolutely relate to the sexual abuse story. almost identical, except in the fact that the sexual abuse wasnt prolonged and that it was in an instant. I kept it inside myself for years. YEARS. and it literally destroyed my life. i didnt even know anything bad happened until i realized it. when i told my mom for the first time, it genuinely felt as if someone was pushing down on me really hard and finally let go. i felt physically lighter than i did before in a matter of 5 seconds. SPEAKING OUT ALWAYS. ALWAYSSSS. HELPS. please speak out if you are a victim of this. especially us male victims.
My story is also identical, the only difference is that it was my cousin and it stopped after a few weeks. I forgot everything about it until I was 14 years old, now I'm 18 and I've just started healing from something that happened to me when I was seven years old. Joshua made me feel so heard, I'm so glad I'm his fan, he's an amazing person.
Sorry u relate
@Rafie Azmi That person is just saying sorry that OP can relate to Joshua's SA experience. As in, they are sorry that OP had to go through that event, they are not being insensitive or rude.
Very proud of you for sharing your story! I relate as well, my story is quite similar to yours. From what I remember, it was a one time thing. And, because I was so young, I completely blocked it from my memory. Despite not remembering, it has impacted my whole entire life. I have struggled with self esteem issues, because the assault made me perceive my body as disgusting. I have struggled to maintain healthy relationships, because I had trouble differentiating between “romantic” and platonic relationships and could not believe someone would want to be around me simply to be around me rather than yk abuse me. It wasn’t until this year actually after a severe trauma that I began to remember some pieces of the assault. I’ve only, thus far, been able to open up about my assault with my therapist but I definitely agree with the sentiment. So long as it’s somebody you trust, talking about it is definitely healing. I cannot comprehend the added challenges that must come with being a male victim. I have seen how immensely stigmatized it is within media, but as a female I cannot say I know exactly what you’re going through. I just would like to heavily emphasize YOU have immense strength and courage!! And again I’m so proud of you for sharing your story. I hear you, and I hope you continue to heal.
This changed my whole opinion on him I’m honestly disappointed with myself that I allowed myself to even hate someone I didn’t even know.
it’s great that you even took the time to listen to his side. I’m very happy ☺️
Can I just say, listening to this one year late, this is going to be my bibel from now on. Every word resonates with my soul. I've never respected a person this much in my life.
same
Honestly this interview is powerful. This shows how social media can play a role in a person’s life. To see how he handled hate and how he’s expressing how people should be to each-other is real and truthful. People are human and make mistakes but it’s about how you treat those around you. I respect Joshua and I hate how people treated him in the past.
i love him so much. he never deserved any of the hate he got and he handled it so well
Sure no one deserves hate, but what they're doing now they're stupid
@@siafurler2333 what’s stupid about what they’re doing?
I think he Deserves so much better I love him so much
His humanity is so admirable he's just a genuinely kind person
The way I see it is both Olivia and josh have different perspectives of their relationship, they’ve both done things wrong and both have suffered but at the end of the day they seem like great people who were in a toxic young relationship and made mistakes. They weren’t perfect but they’re human and are improving .Neither of them deserve any hate and I wish them nothing but happiness
Proud of this dude, he’s been through so much and came out stronger.
he's very underrated as a singer, crisis, secret, and set me free were masterpieces.
MASTERPIECE
Are*
Yesssss they really are
@@emiliadutra539 yep
Specially Set Me Free... I mean, look at the vocals and the lyrics.. goosebumps everytime I hear
I don't understand how people could throw him shade or hate him............this guy is amazing
This is by far the best podcast I’ve ever seen. Joshua basset is such an amazing and unique person
joshua’s 3 songs that he released are actually amazing. he is a lyrical genius and i’m so glad we get to hear from him after a time where people silenced him because they were only willing to listen to one side of the story
Ikr
yes yes yes..
totally agree
i wouldn’t say “lyrical genius”. He is a great songwriter. But “lyrical genius” is a push
yes esp set me free, i literally broke down crying listening to it
this interview gave me sm comfort :( and the way joshua still has this such an empathetic perspective on life even after everything he’s gone through i can’t even :(
he literally is the most purest, kindest person and it tugs on my heartstrings that he has gone through literal heck :,(
Same it’s gonna be my comfort video for the next like year
The fact Josh was talking about so much pain but he was giving out positive energy throughout is beautiful
wow, Joshua has excellent communication skills and knows exactly how to express himself. For 21, he’s a very wise man. It’s sorry to hear what all he has been through. He’s the perfect example of when life pushes you down 2x you get up 4x stronger!
Joshua truly has no idea the impact his words have. This interview has been so honest, so real, so raw, and so rare. I love him for it and I’m so glad he’s a part of this world, making it better.
Happy 21st Birthday, Joshua Bassett. You deserve the freaking world and so much more.
Holyyyy this interview is such a gamechanger. Before this I never knew Joshua as more than just the guy that that song is about. Unbelievable. Nothing but admiration for his strength and sympathy for all that he's been through.
even if you are a fan of Olivia, we can all agree she could of at least told her fans to please not send hate on her behalf!
Yeah..
How does anyone know she didn't?!
@@DJoy222 Cause she didnt. She had multiple chances in interviews and changed the subject. She also has a Twitter, insta, and tiktok and never posted anything.
I mean she said Taylor Swift is her idol and we can see how Taylor is doing the same to Jake Gyllenhaal and fueling the fire to the hate.
@@DJoy222 where are the tweets? the posts? the dm screenshots? nowhere to be found
“My purpose is greater than your disapproval of me” - Joshua; 👏🏼👏🏼
Josh took the high road this year. He’s such a whole and good person and I hope he has such a beautiful life and career
Bruh I still hate how Olivia never said shit about “not sending hate to Joshua” when he literally did say “not to send hate to Olivia” it was very immature of her and I’m gonna stand by that.
She selfishly shoved him down and used him as a boost to success. It’s kinda gross :/
Literally, and he went out of his way to post on his story to listen to drivers license, yet she didn’t even message him privately to ask whether he was okay like wtf
The fact that this man went through EVERYTHING bad; bullied, exploitation, grew up in toxic enviroment, sexually abused at very young age, mentally abused too.. He was at the hospital with 30% chance of survival, but he'd still get the most tremendous amount of hate, because of a SONG -
People perverted the reality, because they were too obsessed to face him with humilty - & even tho he was going through all of this, he'd still care more about others rather than himself! He's so well eloquent, mature for his age..his responses and bravery tells everything. Seriously, my faith in this generation slowly is getting doomed bcs of the way he's been treated, but at the same time I choose to keep up & look up more to such inspiration people like him, just to remind my self that maybe there's still a chance for this world to be a better place because of people like him. ♡
The ‘I need help’ part made me tear up. I’m not religious either but there has to be a higher power.
Not only did this interview give me hope for a better life for myself, and better friendships- it also gave me so much love and empathy for my younger self who went through so much. Joshua Bassett, thank you endlessly for saying all you did. I can't imagine I'll ever meet you, but thank you for what you've given me with this video.
the way I'm crying so much watching this, but also, everything he's saying is so important and necessary. It's not about any drama or whatever, it's all about him, us or whatever who u're, human being who has their problems, fears and scars but the way you react to a situation tells so much about you. Joshy's strong to talk about vulnerable moments but also to has being through it all and still wants kindness and love. I'm so proud of him and for whoever is reading it here right now, I'm proud of you too, I hope y'all know you're loved, you're enough and you're amazing! Trust on God's purposes and keep with respect and love, everything is going to be alright 🌟
as a survivor myself, I wanna say thank you to Zach for providing such a safe space that I felt peace just watching this video.
And to Joshua: I love you, and I (and all of us) are here for you
i think what he’s doing is so important
@@pointblank4937 YEA, i wish more people would be like him
I would absolutely love to applaud the Zach for not being interruptive at the wrong times and lets him speak. And he speaks when its right, this makes the talk show much less awkward and uncomfortable even though the cat pillow creeps me out...
Hearing Joshua talk about his hospital experience... the power of our mind... the law of attraction and the way we speak about things really hit me in the gut because this was all along the lines of what I am experiencing myself. There's something interesting about being a human being and experiencing something terrible- we think it's only us that thinks a certain way about a load of things. But everything he has said in this video is exactly how I feel and I am surprised by that. I never thought I would hear someone else say exactly what I was thinking. I am grateful to have listened to this and can't believe he put it into words. You're really smart Joshua and I am so sorry for what you have been through. I have been through that feeling of betrayal, anxiety, health that just scares you shitless and makes you go for a whirlwind. Thank you for this. You don't know how much hope you gave me.
“People say don’t blame the artist blame the fans, but I think the artist should be held responsible too” FACTS
Love Zach for asking the questions we all have but having the respect to not continue to push when Joshua clearly doesn’t want to answer. Love for both of these humans.
He's so well-spoken and profound. Bravo, Josh.
he’s always so well spoken and extremely wise for his age i wanted him to make an interview with zach since forever 😭😭
As a Christian, it hurts my heart to hear some of the things they said on this interview. Having a relationship with God is liberating and beautiful. Unfortunately, people ruin it. I'm so sorry for Joshua's experience with Christian people.
just remember there are so many religions and not everyone needs to follow under christianity, it’s also a religion that has hurt a lot of people regardless of what you youreself believe !💖
Same here Kimberly. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a Christian household that wasn't fear-driven, and as I grew older I decided for myself to be a Christian. I feel for Joshua and his experience with so-called 'christians'. Zack's at times unuanced generalisations annoyed me, but otherwise it was a very interesting conversation the two had on that subject.
Well it’s not that ppl ruined it. He just doesn’t believe in god. I grew up believing in god but I wasn’t religious and I’m one of the only ppl in my family that just doesn’t believe it. And that’s fine.
Completely agreed. I feel so sorry for his experience with Christian people and I hope he heals from it
I agree, it made me sad when they generalised 'religion/christianity' to be fear driven, when in fact that is not the loving God that I, and many other Christians know. Hoping he finds peace xx
josh rlly said “treat people with kindness“ and I love him for that
For years my mind has been pushing back the fact that when I was about four years old I was sexually abused. They day this interview came out I watched it at 3 in the morning and it completely changed my life. Hearing Joshua talk about his experience made me realize what had happened to me and ever since then i have been healing a part of me that was locked in the deepest part of my brain. It feels weird saying that a video has changed my life but I genuinely believe that this video has. I am so moved by how emotionally intelligent Joshua is and I am working to achieve that level of intelligence and vulnerability.

Not many people have this level of empathy like him
This is literally 1 hour and 35 minutes zach simping over joshua 😂 big mood
I don’t blame him
Joshua is so fucking strong. It's been said a bilion times already, and it will never stop needing to be said, because, once again, he's so fucking strong.
Seeing him tear up at the coffee shop mention was disheartening. I mean, it's not even the worst thing that has happened to him this year. One might think, "oh, one coffee shop is being shady, so what." but even such a little thing can obviously do a lot of harm.
I have so much respect to Joshua for this interview, and sending him all the love. I will never stop gushing about him.
i have SO much admiration for this man. he carries himself so incredibly well for someone so young and he's truly going to help make an impact on the future generation. he deserves nothing but the world i cannot believe so many people have gotten caught up in disliking him for a situation we know nothing about. my respect for him has skyrocketed
35:46 All Josh wanted was a message to her fans to communicate with respect instead of hate. I've seen people say it's not her responsibility to hold back her fans but that's all he wanted. And she couldn't even be there for him when he was on death's doorstep.
people need to realise that often, the artist is the only person with any power over what there fans say or do, therefore when there is a situation like this where fans are literally sending innocent people death threats, there needs to be responsibly on the artists to discourage that behaviour. if they are truly a fan of the artist they will listen
one thing that I hated was when Joshua and Sabrina were getting hate for just dating and Olivia DIDNT SAY anything . I mean if not addressing the issue directly she could have just said something about THE NARRATIVE WHICH WAS BEING TOSSED AROUND. she clearly didn't want anything to interfere with her success so she just sat back and watched her fans hate two people

my heart breaks for this kid. he’s been through so much shit in his life, especially in this last year, & went through probably mental anguish it’s just insane. but i am so proud of him being able to verbalize some of this & stand up for himself & advocate for victims of SA. good for him, i hope he has a much better year 🤍
He is a such a genuine, emotionally intelligent, compassionate, passionate, STRONG person. I can't imagine what he's been through but his message about self love, self worth, spreading love no matter what. Its so unfair what he went through as a child (i can relate as i am a survivor). his sharing his process is really inspiring me to talk to my therapist about my experience. i love his perspective on trust, taking care if yourself mentally and spiritually, seeing the good in people, and people that spread pain when they're in pain. i love olivia, her music has helped me so much and while her feelings are valid, HIS feelings are also so so valid. he is such an incredible human. this has helped me with my perspective on how i should start thinking. thank you for this interview. i love you joshua
i just wanna give josh a hug bc he's been through so much and is still one of the kindest humans
Ikr
Ikr
same
Ikr like I just wanna hug him so badly 😭
This interview literally brought me to tears. The fact that he experienced horrible things but still grew stronger from it and took all the positives out of it is actually so beautiful to see. He brings so much hope and strength into the world. Joshua you're really someone to look up to.
I’m not sure if anyone will see this comment but I just had to put these thoughts somewhere. Honestly, I’m so proud of Josh. He’s so strong. Strong for being open about his feelings and strong for speaking out. This podcast made me feel so much. As a Josh supporter for maybe 2 years now it’s- you don’t even realize how much he went through before he became this “Big” “Well known” person and this last year has really been hell for him. I hate, I am disgusted by the way countless of people treated him and still treat him. They degrade him constantly say after day and I hate that. Saying things like “He should have died” or “He deserves that.” Like how horrible of a person do you have to be to say such vile things about someone who quite frankly you don’t even know!!?? How?! I started to tear up hearing him start opening about the SA and Abuse he went through. How is it that humans can treat other humans so poorly and with such cruelty? I can’t comprehend that. It’s disgusting. Josh would hate fans spreading rude messages on behalf and that shows just how grown up he’s become. So proud, I’m just so proud of him. You’ve got it Josh, we’re still here for you❤️
“Yes there was lots of betrayal, which is ironic” 💀💀😂😂😂
In all honesty, he is such a pure soul. To always see the good in people after the year he’s had, to forgive rather than seek revenge, shows how truly mature he is in such a superficial, self serving industry. To say no to the drama, when he could have defended his image/profited really shows his true character. I like both artists but really admire his maturity. Those comments saying terrible things about him clearly do not know him one bit/haven’t watched a single interview with him because you cannot deny how genuinely good this person is.
Joshua is an amazing person, please stop giving him so much hate...he doesn't deserve it, the fact that he's not into revenge nd bullshit makes him an incredible person....let him leave in peace.....thanks Zang for showing him love
I hope this podcast gets to the people who need it . I know it will.
It's actually unbelievable how so many people have wanted to hurt this angel
he's incredibly emotionally intelligent and kind. such a loving person.
Well Joshua, happy 21st Birthday.
You’re a great person to refer to for people with crises of their own and many of your songs help me as an aspiring educator, and as a man with highly sensitive temperament in my mission help kids and teens with their lives.
And Zach, in Child and Teen Development, there’s a quote similar to “Why must I hurt for you to feel okay?”
“Where did we ever get the crazy idea that in order to make children do better , first we have to make them feel worse.”
-Jane Nelsen, Ed. D.
Words alone cannot express my gratitude for this interview.
joshua: “you know it’s funny-” *proceeds to talk about the most traumatic non-funny actually kind of worrisome anecdote*
So true lmao
Him saying that once you’re empowered with who you are you know what someone else did was wrong😭really hit me.
I hope he read all the comments on this video, because these people are all angels. Positive vibes only
please don’t show any hate towards Joshua on this video he is opening up about his story and doesn’t need more negative comments about him
I teared up when Joshua said the Zach sang show was a safe space to do an interview. This boy deserves all the safe spaces after this year. after what the media’s done to him, I wouldn’t blame him if he never did an interview again. Thank you Zach for being a trustworthy, sensitive, supportive place for him to open up and be his beautiful, genuine self 💛
We need that podcast! 🥹
“since about 5” i dead ass started sobbing

I was so happy to hear Zach tell Josh all those things because it's literally what I've been dying to say to him myself. He is truly a shining light in this world.
This interview was so incredible and inspiring to watch and listen to. The way both Zach and Joshua carry themselves is so commendable. Both speak with such empathy, respect, and understanding for each other and the world. Zach is so respectful, caring, and validating in the way he asks questions and responds and is such an amazing person. Joshua has so much wisdom and life experience, more than any 21 year old should have, and he is so genuine and caring towards everyone and everything and gives respect to everyone, more than people deserve, and he is so inspiring. Thank you both for your honesty and candor and for being your true amazing selves. So much love
The part where he said, "Forgive me if I get emotional" had me almost in tears myself Joshy you don't have to ever apologize for being allowed to show how you feel, everyone deserves to cry, I love you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you guys noticed that a lot of people got really really mad at him for saying (as an artist and victim of harassment) artists shouldn't ignore the narrative surrounding them, but they didn't get mad at the fact that he was being harassed?
I'm glad so many people supported him for it, but i've also seen so many people coming for his neck for giving his opinion on artists' responsability, when he's an artist himself
@@mebem1008 yeah they’re getting mad at him for calling her out but he was also calling himself and many others out.
He's only 21 but he's sooooo mature. He's so wise and speaks with such maturity
I'm so glad we have people like him putting so much into the world.
he is honestly one of the most humble down to earth people. i hope he is doing okay
the way zach aggressively cares about joshua for the entire 1 hour and 35 minutes is just so accurate.
The amount of times I’ve cried watching this interview. Joshua, your strength and empathy is so admirable. Hope you have a great birthday and an awesome new year.
hes so well spoken and humble. We love u josh honestly ur message is so inspiring.
i’m in awe of his emotional maturity, intelligence and sensibility. This interview was really thought-provoking, I wish there were more guys like him.
Joshua is a truly smart guy who wants to be his best self. That's unusual itself, among actors and other "famous" people.
