Alexa Nikolas: The Dark Side of Online Activism

Alexa Nicholas is a former child star who now operates as an online activist. Today we're talking about the issues with her platform/organization IN MY OPINION. A note is that her merch site has been updated so some of the stuff I talk about is no longer there but the commentary is still valid so I left it in.

[@Lildeadthing420]

Really good and level video. Idk if this was made after the news broke but Lori Beth denburg from All That came out about Dan. But yes he's still not the same degree of predator as Brian Peck and it feels like alexa exaggerates how she presents certain things (whether it's about her or not) to gain more attention and profit

[@Lildeadthing420]

Also glad to find u after seeing ophie dokie's videos!

[@thesquareruth]

I filmed it before, but I also had no idea even now! Thank you so much for commenting this, I’m going to pin your comment so other people can see. I think my criticism of Alexa’s conspiratorial reporting is still valid but what I said about Dan not having any Brian Peck-esque allegations other than Jennette McCurdy was obvi not true.

[@dobbyselenaourworld9398]

But you don’t know that. Maybe what he did to Amanda was worse but she’s scared to come out?

[@rubeng96]

Lori Beth said she only came out against Dan to make it easier for OTHERS to come out. This tells me she suspects Dan of worse. I genuinely don’t get this whole downplaying of Dan that’s going on

[@Lildeadthing420]

@rubeng96 not downplaying. Just acknowledging what we actually know so far.

[@nowyousieme]

literally started fist pumping when you brought up that yes, she as a survivor doesn't owe anyone anything, but as a public figure presenting as an advocate of survivors, she absolutely does!! she hides behind her own survivorship whenever people criticize her activism, and the two are not the same!!!

[@BlooLynx]

It's nice to hear your take on this. It's upsetting and horrible what happened to Alexa, but I totally agree things aren't just black and white. There's a lot of issues with how Alexa speaks and runs things, especially with her choosing not to have others on her podcast to speak up for themself and trying to theorize their thoughts and feelings.

[@TrollinNolin95]

It’s not upsetting at all When you realize she doubts male victims all the time.

[@bydivadream]

It's such a let down to acknowledge that Eat Predators is essentially "The Alexa Nikolas Fund for Alexa Nikolas" where the primary goal is for Alexa to finally reach the level of sympathy, adoration, attention and validation she felt to have deserved during Zoey 101 in 2005. Protests can be very effective for all the reasons mentioned in this video, but if the end result always benefits Alexa's image as a philanthropist and her bank account, isn't Alexa herself the philanthropic cause?

[@Bls-of1ld]

And she's back like nothing happened

[@TheNinjapancake14]

I’ve had mixed thoughts about Alexa Nikolas, and you mention a lot of those nuanced points in this well put together video. While I think what she’s doing is very brave and important, things get messy when money is involved. My friend works with a nonprofit and just recently, someone with a high position was exposed for mishandling money in a major way. Even though this was one individual, it tarnished the reputation of the whole group. There are certain international advocacy groups that I no longer align with because I am for the cause, the movement, but not the people behind the organization. You said it best, not every charity is the same, some ARE scammy. I think the people organizing deserve compensation for their efforts, but it should be more organized, and transparent. This comment is hella long but finding and finding local groups in your area and paying attention to local elections can generate more sustainable change that is just as impactful.

[@rubeng96]

I also think it’s important to remember that Alexa’s stalker (for some strange reason) was being followed on Twitter by a friend of Dan who designed websites for a few Nick shows. I get the problem with conspiracy theories in todays world, but I wouldn’t call her a conspiracy theorist. These words can also be incredibly damaging to survivors, especially given the gravity of the situation. Drake himself said he wondered if he would make it out of this alive. I don’t blame her for being scared, and I don’t expect her to respond to it perfectly either.

[@thesquareruth]

Yes I did see that, the whole stalker situation is very scary. I didn’t mention it because I wasn’t sure if that would be giving the stalker more power. I think your point is really interesting and sheds light on her POV, but I still think it’s unhelpful for her to speculate about such serious things on her large platform. There are enough actual allegations to talk about.

[@rubeng96]

@@thesquareruth that’s definitely fair. I don’t know what it feels like to make a choice that might save my life, but I imagine there’s a lot of tension and impulsivity involved. I don’t know that she was necessarily trying to be helpful to US in that moment, I think she was just hoping to protect herself thru exposure, and frankly I don’t blame her. The fact that Dan keeps referring to this as a “hit job” makes me incredibly uncomfortable, and I have no connection to the man. I can’t imagine how that would make possible victims feel, let alone having a stalker situation on top of it all.

[@aleleeramos]

Then difference in Alexa and Allyson’s content, is Allyson took her money and got a great education. She is organized, thoughtful, well informed and incredibly well spoken. Alexa has moments of this as well. But sometimes goes off on tangents and it comes off as just directionless. She has a great starting point, but she needs to flesh this out and get people on board that can help her organize her thoughts and ideas with this project. I’ve interacted with her before, and she was a little rude, and all I did was point out some logical fallacy in her statement, I got attacked for a while. - regardless, I’m so glad they are both doing the work and trying to change the environment for everyone in the entertainment industry. Which seems to trickle to other industries as well.

[@bydivadream]

This video is so, so fantastic... a month ago, I felt like I had woken up from under a spell after a live where Alexa was platforming Angelique Bates for the first time. Alexa added that although she knew Angelique had spoken out many years before she had, she hadn't paid attention to her until that very day.After playing videos of Angelique detailing the horrific abuse she experienced as the sole black female cast member on the show.... Alexa immediately declared that she and Angelique had "similar experiences" and followed with inserting herself into Angelique's story. (Alexa added that although she knew Angelique had spoken out many years before she had, she hadn't paid attention to Angelique until that very moment.)

[@emaeco6602]

Yeah I think it was around that time that I stopped watching too because she also mixed in calling out the producers of quiet on set for not inviting her to the premiere which was weird to me because she didn’t really feel that way in the beginning but because of the press she didn’t get she felt slighted

[@NewhamMatt]

@@emaeco6602 That was her last video before the channel went dark, and I'm kind of disregarding that at the moment, because given her community post afterwards, I'm wondering if the stress she was under led her to lash out in a way that was very counter-productive.

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for this vid! Edit: My close childhood cousin was homeschooled and it also messed with his ability to process what is criticism vs what is bullying never have been around peers who weren't his sibling-classmates or friend-cousins. I think there's something crucial about developing next to children you have no stakes with so you learn what is projection, lashing, bullying, and what is true hard to hear criticism. She seems to still be in homeschool mode since her first time interacting with peers seems to be on Zoey101, and it very clearly scarred her. I think everything you said is true, and my interjection is that it's her homeschool heart. They truly are some of the most outrageously nice people in the world, who don't quite have the social footing to make it come across natural/don't understand societal boundaries that never existed at home school. Most mundane things outside the home were always bright and shiny to my cousin, so Zoey101 must've been a pile of shimmering diamond in her eye which ended up hurting her gravely. I see where her missteps come from, but frankly I have no advice to fix it as it occurred during a developmental stage so therapy and self-reflection on her end is about it.

[@twilightsquire]

I did always wonder if the homeschooling could have been a large part of her early issues with her cast mates, I remember her once saying she'd talk politics with Sean Flynn and I thought it was a tad odd or at least quite different to be chatting politics at the age of 12 gave me the impression she perhaps couldn't relate to the other kids as much which left her ostracised even more. I honestly think therapy could be good for her it sounds like she needs to unpack things in a healthier way then she has been doing, especially with how toxic social media can be.

[@TwilightSagaCullen]

Her being homeschooled doesn't necessarily mean anything. People often think homeschooled kids turn out weird or act different because they don't attend a public school around other kids. (although it does depend on how your parents raised you). But I don't believe that was the underlying issue going on set.

[@laurenhollenbaugh5448]

I really appreciate your nuanced and balanced take on Alexa Nikolas and EP. I was one of the founding members who left voluntarily, and I have not spoken out publicly. I plan to make a video soon sharing my perspective to fill in the blanks and correct a lot of the glossed over mistruths Alexa has gotten increasingly good at telling. It’s taken me a while to have the courage to speak, as this was an incredibly abusive and traumatic time in my life I’ve wanted to move away from. But survivors who keep getting harmed by Alexa, reach out to me for help, and I feel compelled to speak and share in the way I am capable. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video.

[@rachelmccoolhelton9606]

I started listening to Alexa after she was on Solan’s channel. She was a little outrageous but I tolerated it because she was giving legitimate criticism to the child acting world. Anyways….something shifted and I didn’t feel right about her in my spirit, couldn’t put my finger on it though. Then she deleted her Drake Bell episode and didn’t “stand on business” which showed she could be bought. I fully believe that Drake Bell is guilty and there’s proof for that. You can be a victim and perpetrator at the same time. She spews things like she has proof but doesn’t show her proof. I think she does care about exposing the industry and I don’t think she came into yt for the money or exposer, but now she’s got eyes on her and wants to keep it that way even if it means slandering people or making shit way bigger than it should be.

Something about Alexa Nikolas always rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t want to say she’s lying but may be misremembering things since it was such a long time ago. Also, people change throughout the years. I would never call out my middle school bullies on a public platform because they might be a completely different person now as an adult. Did she even try to contact them privately to get closure? No, she took it to the public for her fans to harass and bully them. The same exact thing she was accusing her co-stars of doing to her.

I read something really good about this - instead of “Believe all Victims,” perhaps it would be better to say “Take all Victim Accusations seriously.” This is because, 1, rarely, there can be false accusations or exaggerations, and 2, abusers often use the DARVO strategies of denying, attacking, reversing and acting the victim and calling the actual victim the offender. A man very close to me did this to a woman very close to me- accused her of many things. Turns out, he was the abusive one, proven with evidence in court. I think the desire to believe all victims is a very noble one, and the right spirit to take in matters like this- we want to make sure we protect victims! It’s just that, without nuance and canny and careful evaluation, our good intentions can be used against the true victims. That man took the offensive by alleging verbal abuse first. But he had admitted to having raped her in private texts, which were only found much later. Anyways, great video! Sorry if this is too heavy.

I especially can’t stand how Alexa Nikolas tries to paint Victoria Justice as the bad guy, just because of a fallout they had a long time ago, over some simple ass boy. Like, get over it, Alexa. And besides, Victoria has been through enough slander and bullying from Ariana Grande’s toxic fanbase. Falsely accusing her of being "jealous", just because she said "I think we all sing". Smh. Victoria Justice is one of the sweetest, kindhearted individuals in Hollywood, and she does NOT deserve anymore slander against her.

[@user-iu2zr8vj7g]

How is any of that Alexa's fault? I like both Alexa and Victoria, but Alexa has a right to express how she felt back when she first met Victoria. I fully agree that the whole "boy" thing is really dumb and shouldn't be part of the conversation... but the part that Alexa mainly emphasises is that she was glad she finally had a friend and then Victoria started participating in the bullying too... it is to express how lonely she felt on set. Victoria could have been a bully to Alexa AND she could ALSO be a victim to everything you mentioned. And yes that's in the past and I'm glad Victoria has grown, but that doesn't make things go away. Bullying can affect someone for life, it's not something you just "get over". If there's anything we can take away from this video is that nothing is completely black and white... so just because Victoria went through stuff too doesn't mean she's exempt from criticism. That goes for Alexa as well (which is why I agree with this video's criticisims). PS: I agree that people were too harsh on Victoria about that whole "I think we all sing" thing... especially since Ariana is so coddled by Nickelodeon (just like Jennette McCurdy's book expressed), psh...

[@user-iu2zr8vj7g]

@@KissyAdair Did you even read my comment? OP is pretty much saying: Victoria has also gone through so much stuff so Alexa should "get over it". To that and to you I say: 1) Alexa has never said Victoria is an "awful person" she is just telling her story, it is her right. Victoria is also in her right to tell hers. 2) Bullying is not just "petty drama", the whole boy thing IS petty drama and Alexa should not mention it (although she doesn't really mention it often)... but if Victoria participated in the bullying, even if she was a teenager, she STILL did something wrong. I cannot believe I have to say this in 2024 when so many kids and teens have been deeply affected by bullying to the point of suicide. Even if the bullies are also young, that doesn't mean they are completely innocent. To Victoria that could just be something petty and insignificant she did as a child, but to Alexa that could have affected her deeply. 3) As I said, it's not black and white... Victoria could have bullied Alexa AND been bullied herself by others. Again, just because she went through bullying too doesn't make her exempt from criticism. Implying that just because she went through bullying too no one should call out her past actions is stupid... no one would be criticised if that was the case. I am critical of Victoria's actions and also support her as a victim, same thing with Alexa. As I said, I like and support them both. They are beautiful, talented and strong... but I can also acknowledge their mistakes.

@@Delena00 LMAO okay now THAT is not making sense. Jamie Lynn doesn't have a track of being a bully? That girl is disowned by her own sister. And about the rest, I give them the benefit of the doubt, they perhaps felt pressured to fit in because as teens we can act stupid and follow what the most popular person does out of approval (especially since she is Britney Spears' little sister, who wouldn't want to be friends with her as a child?), all of them were quite young and it was their first "big break", they most likely grew out of that (as most people do) and of course they never did anything to anyone else in subsequent roles. What they did was still wrong and Alexa is in her right to call that out if it affected her that deeply, but again, it's not black and white... that doesn't make them horrible people now. We all make mistakes and bad decisions, especially when we're young. Also, with what you're implying, am I supposed to believe that the youngest kid of the main cast bullied a bunch of teens older than her, one of whomst had a lot of power and is known to be a terrible person? Also while working with a confirmed child abuser (Dan) who has been called out several times and who is known to create and even encourage toxic environments? Both Alexa and Victoria (and several others of course) were victims. The topic here was criticising Alexa's activism and actions (and of course she should be criticised) not outright denying she was a victim and claiming that she's lying. I'm pretty sure being abused and groomed has affected how she acts (which doesn't justify her actions at all), but it doesn't negate what she lived through either. There are no perfect victims, this applies to everyone.

[@caughtupinawave3501]

What I think is more egregious in the situation is how she kept trying to insinuate that Dan Schneider was somehow worse than Brian Peck, someone who actually raped a child, and tried to call out Drake for saying that Dan actually helped during the court process, by helping his mother write an impact for court. To me, that was when it became clear that revenge was at the forefront. That, and when she called out Matthew Underwood for that email, if you notice in the video where she reads it onscreen, there’s a giant redacted portion, that she herself blurred out, that starts with Matthew saying he wouldn’t discredit survivors because… it was very clearly him baring the fact that he was assaulted. Well before he posted it on Instagram, meaning Alexa knew and chose to continue with this smear campaign. Do I agree with Matthew’s “there were no sexual innuendos” stuff? Absolutely not, we all know what Dan was doing, but to put private correspondence out on the internet and send hate his way , after claiming that bullying ruined your life, is horribly toxic and hypocritical. Not to mention her saying she was upset not to be included in the Zoey 101 reboot when she’s done nothing but steadily disparage the cast, is ridiculous, especially with her saying she wants an open dialogue, when it later came out she had blocked Jack Salvatore aka Mark Delfigalo from Zoey 101 years ago along with the rest of the cast who she wasn’t even following. Then she admits Sean Flynn reached out to her to apologize for her hurt feelings regarding the reboot, she blamed him for not calling her personally or contacting her beforehand. There are comments and tweets showing that she reached out to the boys , including Dan several times throughout the years and Chris was openly positive/ friendly to her, but now the narrative changed to EVERYONE bullying her outside of the fighting between her, Jamie, Kristen and her tiff with Victoria, to the point she claims Erin Sanders purposely punched her on camera.

I do think there are workplaces where that should provide free therapy-like organizations where the job itself traumatizes you. Jobs like healthcare, veterinary work, police work, firefighters and such. Those jobs take an emotional toll daily on the employees.

Thanks for making this video. I think the majority of people wanted to support her in the beginning, but she really showed her true colors (whether she sees it for it is or not). My issue with her is that she takes money from people for the same things she has bashed other people for, as well as lacking consistency in what she claims she stands for, along with being shameless about double standards. The fat shaming comments on reddit thing was when I realized she really doesn’t practice what she preaches.

[@wolfman100hits]

Im trying to remember this right, but apparently Alexa may have not started eat predators that it was this other people that invited her on. They had disagreements how to go forward with the company and Alexa locked them out of their accounts and took over. Theres a video on twitter with one of them telling the story.

Alexa is not a reliable narrator. Some of how claims may be true but others are coloured by her emotional dysregulation and attention seeking. She’s a bad activist precisely because you can tell you’re often getting a distorted story.

Imagine expecting to be invited to a reunion for a show you talked major shit about. 😅

[@mehmeh-oo3pf]

she was not invited because over the years, she would make rude remarks about jamie lynn on social media, and on her instagram, there is a 2018 post making fun of Britney Spears' 2006 era (it's still up and was before the reunion). And JL stayed silent about all this until she wrote a memoir when Alexa has been publicly baiting JL for years even before Alexa's livestream. . As the main character on the show, I can understand why she did not include Alexa.

I feel that certain comments in this video were not it, such as the talk about insurance, which had a lot of errors, BUT I do feel Alexa has lost her way when it came to her original motivations for why she spoke up. Unfortunately this happens so often. A movement with initial integrity loses sight when money starts to play a bigger role.

[@SamanthaCarlson]

Really good video I’ve watched a few videos about Alexa & her content and yours is the first to not tiptoe around the truth and put everything into a real world perspective. No doubt Alexa has been deeply hurt by people and the industry but her obsession with certain people makes her come off a bit unhinged at times. She also seems to have a hard time admitting any time that she’s maybe gone overboard or spoke about something when she wasn’t the most informed about it. Again, great video. Really appreciate hearing your perspective!

[@FabiolaRVela]

I used to be subbed and watch her videos but I did notice a lot of the things mentioned here. What made me start to seriously side eye her and unsub is the fact that recently she got called out for some of her stances on Drake Bell, and it seems like she ran away. People have been critical of her and it seems like she just hid her head in the ground. I get that she claims she was being harassed, but I can’t pretend that those optics don’t look great imo. It’s a shame, imo she has her heart in the right spot I think, but I agree that she could do better. What got me was the fact that she admittedly made a video about Drake bell allegations without fact checking , and then she took it down with the excuse of “I fact checked and I was misinformed” which is great! but it’s like why didn’t she fact check that info to begin with? It’s very serious stuff, and sadly the fact that she just went with that info makes her stance seem unreliable imo. I learned a few things here, good video !

[@TwilightSagaCullen]

I agree! I used to watch her but it started to annoy me when she'd ramble about stupid things from the past that really mean nothing now. And speaking with a, I know this happened, when it wasn't really her story to tell. Now she just blacked out and went dark on every platform.

When trauma, failed fame and narcissism collide

[@wholesomerodent]

Completly agree, I was pretty interested in her content... then the trauma dumping -- gossiping and the annoying censoring of bad words turned me off. It's like, if you want to spread awareness of these topics its hard to understand it when every word is "blah beep ... ab*se... *assa*ult... ETCEDERA..." Same thing with Christy Carlson. I am also a survivor, but to have to constantly talk about trauma w/o any real advocacy or substance just feels ick, reliving it over and over again.

In some ways Christy might even be worse than Alexa because shes such a narcissist about her issues.

[@hillwill960]

THANK YOU! Omg you discussing Alexa’s constant desire for apologies from her coworkers in her teenage years is the most annoying thing to me. She frequently mentions how Moze from Neds Declassified LIKED and IG post calling Alexa a washed up child actor or something and how she wants an apology for that. You’re a grown woman supposedly here to highlight abuse in Hollywood and you’re pressed about a LIKE?!?? Please be for real. It’s hard to take her seriously anymore.

[@rebeccassweetmusic4632]

I'm glad this is being talked about. I used to subscribe to Alexa and initially appreciated her sharing information about the industry and how they protect predators. I also appreciated (and still do) her always sharing her story and experience and being the one to open up about the fact that survivors of abuse aren't perfect angels. However, ever since the Drake Bell thing, I couldn't support her anymore because while yes, little child Drake was taken advantage of and r--ped by a grown adult, adult Drake became a predator himself, and HIS victims deserved to be treated with the same respect that Alexa does with other victims including Drake. After she took down her video critiquing him and his behavior, she seemingly was almost 100% supporting him, in my opinion. She also seems to take things very personally, even though they are valid critiques. I understand that surviving abuse can make you an easily sensitized person, but many things don't unnecessarily need an emotional reaction. I have no ill will against her, and I do respect what she does, but she needs to make sure she actually stands by her word and listens to ALL survivors because her not listening to Drake's survivors seems a bit hypocritical, in my opinion. Drake's case is a very sticky situation and proves to me that if you were abused as a child, you could quickly become an abuser as an adult. Michael Jackson is another case in which I would easily say the same thing.

[@SAMEntalhealth]

You cannot say Drake became a predator when that girl lied about him like the entire time, I would think at this point people would finally get it but if you're still going with the narrative that Drake is guilty? Then that is absolutely absurd, I would love to hear your explanation as to how he is a predator himself because I washed the court case I listen to every single detail the way you're supposed to not with a biased perspective with a narrative and all that crap, like I listened to it word for word law for law, I don't know how people still think he's guilty but he didn't meet up with the girl, she says messages certain messages were sent back and forth and they investigated they find everything, none of that was found so that's out of the box, and then her own aunt's friend comes out and says that night she says she was in the room with Drake I was out in the hallway with her while her aunt was in there getting an autograph, so she lied about that, and then coincidentally her and her aunt have problems the day that the court session comes? No, none of that made any sense at all

[@SAMEntalhealth]

And if you're going to use his ex-girlfriend's as an example? No, LOL there was no proof no evidence know anything Drake is innocent and will always be until or if he actually breaks that, especially Sydney g, lied on him too hard to the point where it was just self-destructive to herself

[@meidson12]

I started binging her videos and it started to become uncomfortable with how she makes a spectacle out of every single thing she's analyzing but most of the times doesn't even know about the people she's talking about. It's not good work at all, and she's being very compensated for it. Yet, her videos are addicting... because they are entertaining. That's the major issue: she claims to be this big savior but does nothing... except for exploiting other people's trauma for content. What also started making me uncomfortable is the amount of times she centers every conversation on herself to the point that it's embarrassing. She often expresses being hurt that she was left out of things, like the last episode of Quiet On Set and not gaining enough attention as other victims did. This "I'm hurt that I wasn't invited" narrative seems to be a theme ever since Zoey 101 up until the last episode of Quiet On Set. Also having her podcast episode with another creator deleted or something... It all seems very self-centered and money driven. It may have started from a genuine desire for change but it turned into making content to profit, especially after Jennette McCurdy's book success.

[@lookdownimthere]

I appreciate this so much, I started watching some of her videos bc I had been watching some of the “Podco” podcasts and saw that she was calling them out, I wanted to see if there was anything valid so I could stop watching if these people had done anything I didn’t want to support! What I found after a few videos was that Christy may have made some bad choices, but these hour long videos where Alexa would just, make fun of people who had clearly hurt her feelings. I found that irritating, but it concerned me more to then see how many viewers and commenters were just blinding agreeing with and following her, and attacking any comment that disagreed. I also thought her calling on people to speak out, not knowing if that person had also been affected or abused themselves, was really short sighted and harmful. I do have sympathy for her, but I think maybe she needs to focus on her own healing while supporting other organizations before she tries to run her own. Thanks for the very thoughtful points made in this video, it was insightful and a bit validating of the concerns I already had.

[@thesquareruth]

Your comment totally nailed it. I don’t think she’s a “bad person” by any means, but she has a pretty powerful platform and it’s not properly utilized. She definitely has some personal healing to do. Glad you liked the video!

I agree with you about almost everything in this video, including the fact that the Sickolodeon shirts were inappropriate. But as a California resident who is in therapy for my childhood trauma “therapy is provided through your health insurance” is misleading at best.

[@NewhamMatt]

I agree about a lot of things you say about Alexa. Something that you don't mention that I think impacts the context is that she has been stalked by an Eat Predators member in the past, and her most recent activity on the Eat Predators channel is a community post saying that this individual, in violation of his restraining order, was again threatening her and her family, including through past members of Eat Predators who had become estranged from Alexa. Her most recent video (regarding her actions with the Drake Bell accusations) is particularly rambling, confused and vindictive, and I'm left wondering if Alexa was really in the best place to be making that video at the time. I honestly hope that she and her family are safe and that she gets the help and support she needs. I hope the same for other survivors, regardless of whether that's through Eat Predators or any other channel.

[@thesquareruth]

I didn’t feel comfortable talking about her stalker, it didn’t feel appropriate since it’s something that’s currently ongoing and obviously serious. If I were her I wouldn’t want people to do that. I think what you said definitely holds merit though.

[@NewhamMatt]

@thesquareruth That's fair. Someone's trauma can often become fodder for "drama KZbin", and this is someone's real life, not a soap opera.

She made the most ludicrous, exaggerated claims against him, all because he stood up for himself when he saw her for who she really was and exposed her as an attention-seeker and manipulator.

I appreciate that you were able to put my thoughts into such a coherent and poise way. I followed alexa for two months (including the beginning of ("quiet on the set") and by the end of that I had weird vibes that I could not describe. I'm harsh, and she comes off as someone who peaked in high school and carried this on and on and on and on. I fell into the sentiment of advocation for victims ( I being an abu$e survivor) and it ended up being her own echo chamber of raising her up to a status that she felt like she was owed. That is why there is no direction to her cause. Look at the mamamax situation. Of course everyone will be on your side to being an advocate against CP and PDF files. She saddled up on a high horse that is slightly linked to herself and rode into the sunset. In the end, sandcastles fall when high tide comes in.

No need to be nervous! This video was great and I loved the short. I found it hilarious her fans bully other people who don't fully agree with her. They're all hypocrites. I also want to say her behavior when it comes to any criticism is immediately "I'm being bullied." It's very much like another social media influencer, E. Cooney, in which she gets people wanting her to do better and be well in life in which she immediately takes offense and thinks it's being a "hater." Not everyone is out to get you because they speak their opinion, maybe these people get so defensive because the truth hurts.

I have supported Alexa in speaking out about her experiences in the industry and with her abusive marriage (and I hope she can heal from everything she has been through) and trying to help others get justice. However, Alexa has rubbed me the wrong way in the past and now. For example, I feel like she’s very biased (I know everyone has bias and there’s no such thing as being unbiased. But I mean she’s biased in terms that she gatekeeps being a survivor and picks and chooses). She is hypocritical for using herself as an example of a survivor and saying that she helps survivors and calls out predators, yet refuses to platform any of Drake Bell’s victims. And she supports the wrong people and refuses to listen to criticism. She follows and supports Amber Heard. She called Johnny Depp an abuser and believes that Amber Heard was the real victim. And even if Johnny Depp may not see the stuff that Alexa posted about him in the past, other people who have been in a relationship with someone who is narcissistic and/or emotionally and/or physically abusive will (especially male victims of this abuse). And after Quiet on Set when she deleted her video on Drake Bell and then in a video where she supposedly addressed (if you wanna call it that) the Drake Bell allegations, she said she wasn’t going to make a Drake Bell video because as a survivor, she doesn’t owe anyone anything. And yes, as a survivor, she doesn’t owe anyone anything. But with a platform like hers, she needs to hold certain people accountable. She needs to have a more nuanced perspective that two things can be true at the same time. Drake Bell was abused by Brian Peck, but later on, he became a perpetrator

[@SAMEntalhealth]

She says dan took photos of her while they were in private but of course at first it was she didn't have any experiences and then all of a sudden she has them maybe she's been getting mental health but maybe she's getting sued by Schneider I really don't know but it's a little sketchy that her KZbin content is not being changed and others that change their content or titles of their videos with Dan bashing, they started retreating after his lawsuit came out but she didn't, I think Dan caught her or his lawyer caught her and now she can't change her content because Dan has it as evidence will his lawyer does that's my theory for why she hasn't been on KZbin and quite some time and we all know nothing could shut her up😅

i kinda don’t know how to feel about alexa’s affinity for bringing up the whole bullying thing repeatedly. on one hand, i totally agree that you cannot possibly judge an adult for how they behaved at the age of TWELVE. however, on the other hand, i do think it is within someone’s right to discuss their past bullying. it’s traumatic & can follow people for the rest of their lives. one could have the logic of “if it follows the victim for the rest of their life, why not the perpetrator?”. i say all this as someone who was basically a bully in my adolescence. i would never want someone to see that as who i am today, ive apologized to most of the people i wronged during that time & i am ashamed, but i wouldn’t find it totally unfair if someone still held that period of time against me. it happened, it hurt, i can’t change that. howeverrrr i guess there’s a big difference when someone is a public figure & namedropping you in their videos & demanding an apology from you. it’s a little unhinged. i suppose there’s a middle ground that can support both of my opinions at once… talk about the childhood bullying all you’d like, but don’t name names. it’s really childish to just put someone on blast for something they did when they were 12. their age didn’t even end in “teen” yet!! it’s crazy 😭 im 22 now so i’d totally understand if people still held how i acted at 15 against me coz idk.. 7 years is not THAT long. but 12 vs 32 is really crazy anyways, this is one of my maddening commenting quirks: i type a far-too-long comment as if anything is that serious.
