I'll never understand why some people will go out of their way to say something negative and/or hurtful. For what it's worth, you guys make me smile and often cackle/cry laugh. March was a big jerk to so many people (me included). I suggest we take whatever lessons we can from this and then let's collectively flip it off in the rearview mirror. Giant HUGS to yous.

If it brings you any comfort, my 7 year old daughter just loved Ad. We didn't find your videos about him until after he was gone but every time she sees your thumbnail for your videos or hears your voices she says "Is that Ads mom and dad?" She loved watching him. So many of us do care. Please know that.

[@1randumbproduction]

[@tifftalks6597]

when do men not do that? buy and large?

[@SophiesThoughts]

The comment about Julian's "short grieving period" really pissed me off. Do people just expect him to be unhappy on camera for months and months? Most people don't want to record themselves being upset. And what pisses me off the most, is it's the same people who are saying that he got over it fast, who also say he's being dramatic. I don't know why it annoyed me so much. In times of grief you need laughter and fun. Anyone who doesn't believe that is really ignorant and insensitive to the matter.

[@hayley5071]

SophiesThoughts same here, having experienced the same loss at a young age, you celebrate the times when you realize you’re not crying or that your heart is a little less heavy. julien is obviously still down about this because it’s one of the hardest things to go through, but laughing and following old routines is the only way to dig yourself out of a never ending hole of grief. when i saw julien in his vlogs i was so happy for him, because it took me months to realize that i should allow myself to be happy when i am, and not chastise myself for it because i “should still be upset”

[@arionas26]

Also they use KZbin as a way to get away from that and from reality and as a platform to creat and be happy not feel bad and grieve

[@emmalaurila1325]

A-fucking-men

[@Cinner225]

It’s also annoying because if he WAS upset on camera for months people would complain about that as well

[@TheLaughingLion7]

Well and the fact that he even mentioned in his vlog that he is still sad but he has to keep going with his life because he knows that’s the best thing for him to do. Believe me, when I heard them mention that comment I got pretty pissed off too. God people suck some times and it’s so hard for me as someone who watches KZbin daily to hear the people I love reading comments like that and I can’t do anything for them but leave a comment myself and hope to god they see that there are still some of us out here that love and respect them as people.

[@gigidodson]

I got pregnant. I passed the first trimester, I was showing. At my sixth month I started to spot. Long story short , I lost my son. A week later, I was in the grocery and a woman came up and touched my still pregnant looking belly and said congratulations... It was the single most devastating thing in my life. Ever

[@daeneryseilish]

Gigi Dodson I’m very sorry about your son. People are so inconsiderate.

[@iloveaventura100]

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. That’s devastating I’m so sorru

[@Absolutelygorgeous32]

I’m so sorry to hear that. I feel like people shouldn’t go up to other people and touch them without permission. It’s very rude and honestly a little weird. And again i’m sorry for your loss

[@Maya-bk8wv]

I am so sorry for your loss. ❤❤❤

[@baileysierra]

Gigi Dodson im sorry for your loss. i hope people see this and think before they just walk up and touch a pregnant woman or say something about her looking pregnant.

[@Delimeat]

Thank you for not being afraid to call out your own fans for bad behavior.

[@Lindseyisloony]

Sadly a lot of the people that they called out are probably here commenting agreement as if they never did those things. Personally I am guilty of occasionally jumping on the "is she pregnant?" bandwagon (not with Jenna but with other youtubers) and had never considered that it might be insensitive or rude unless I'm aware somebody has fertility issues of something. After hearing Jenna explain it I now understand why it's harmful and inappropriate.

[@updog7470]

Not Wednesday that’s amazing that you are mature enough to change behavior and opinions! sooo many people on the internet wouldn’t stop doing that just because they’re stubborn and don’t care

[@psychedelicanxiety8011]

Sounds like a kink😂

[@dmeadows_]

those aren’t fans

[@Bmoore295]

Jenna, please don't apologize for being human and voicing your feelings. I think it is constructive for people to be reminded that public figures have feelings too. The fact that we all have to keep going through life's hard spots is frequently forgotten by those on the internet. I am so sorry for your losses. I hope people remember that words have consequences. Pregnancy speculation is often done by people who feel excited about the prospect but who also forget (or don't yet realize) that pregnancy is not always an easy situation to manage; it can be devastating. Even just feeling fat and then being asked if you are pregnant is awful. People need to put themselves on the other side of their own comments first. Much love to you both.

[@LightingInvoker]

B Moore Your comment is spot on. It frustrates me when Jenna & Julien (or any KZbinr) feels they need to apologize for expressing their feelings or opinions

[@blueyesdrb92]

The "feeling fat and being asked" is absolutely awful. After my 2nd child, it's been hard getting my stomach flat again, we are no longer physically able to have children unless a miracle happens. A CASHIER in a store TOUCHED MY FAT STOMACH and asked "aww how many months?" ...I almost literally bitch slapped her but I really bluntly just said "nah, I'm just fat, maybe you shouldn't ask strangers if they're pregnant"... I'm still pissed about it lol

[@Bmoore295]

Deanna Chaill You have every right to still be pissed. It is very rude for people to assume anything about other people's body. Your body produced little humans, you do not have to have a flat tummy to be a good mom. ❤️

[@blueyesdrb92]

B Moore thank you ❤

[@cheyannefroman3079]

B Moore, I totally agree! Especially about someone just feeling fat and someone speculating out loud. What if that girl is recovering from an eating disorder and has finally put on a little weight and your insensitive ass asks if she's pregnant and that comment sends her back ten steps. It can literally be life threatening in some situations.

[@maryxx9997]

About the pregnancy speculations. When I was 13, a tumor started growing right on one of my ovaries. It grew so goddamn quickly that after a few months of not really noticing it, people/servers/cashiers started asking me if I was pregnant. Well no, there was just a giant tumor inside of me which led me being rushed into the ER and being told that they have to remove it asap because it was about to crush my lungs. Also at that time I was having severe eating issues because I just felt horrible in my body and I couldn't lose weight (well, there was a tumor growing) so I fell into such a dark place. Just imagine how great it felt to hear the 'I think she's pregnant..such a slut' rumors at school every single day. Before you speak just fucking think, it's not that hard.

[@tyler6574]

I’m so sorry that happened to you :-(

[@sloop3720]

Maryxx 99 I can not fucking imagine how hard that would be

[@KathleenMariee]

I'm sorry on behalf of those idiots that don't use their brain. That must have been extremely difficult..can't imagine

[@londonthebridge]

As someone going through eating issues that must have fucking sucked. Its hard enough and then even harder because of a fucking TUMOR and all of a sudden people are accusing you for something you didn't do. Im so so sorry for those shit bags saying or doing or even think about doing anything like that. I hope you're happy and doing much better now. Much love to you man

[@thebigvee137]

@Autumn Moonflower hi pre-med student here I'm only in my first year ( I'm training to become a CCMA) so don't call me an expert. But I have seen case studies were things like this have happened. Some of the major organs may be able to maneuver around the tumor but in the case of the lungs there's the rib cage in the way. If the tumor got so big it could crush the rib cage which could lead to broken ribs which could lead to punctured lungs and a lot of other issues.

WHY ARE PEOPLE OBSESSED WITH KNOWING IF WOMEN ARE PREGNANT

[@hyon2441]

we are built in a society where we get born, go to school, get a job, get married, have kids, die. it's how people think it is. also people have this soft spot for "families". empathy typically grows when someone interacts with a baby or acts parent like. just like jenna said, these people are obsessed with guessing games. it connects to people being a know-it-all. let's just settle with the fact that people are very insensitive and they ignore the downsides. ignoring feelings of those who are not able to be "normal" and have a normal life. this is why things like mental health, rape, abuse, racism are trying to be on the spotlight. to stop the insensitivity and be alert when talking about things like this, opening their minds atleast a bit.

[@Kevin090197]

huren aoichi exactly, I agree with everything you said. This also can be applied to people guessing ones Sexual Orientation like its so annoying when people try to label someone they aren’t. That sort of practice literally ends souls.

[@Masterhaku3]

[@ryanthomas49]

@@hyon2441 "We are built in a society where we get born, go to school, get a job, get married, have kids, die." There is nothing wrong with that. It's when people force their lifestyles on others that becomes the problem.

[@anyalaASMR]

Ryan Thomas well, living in a society that expects everyone to have that exact same life, and work until they’re at an age where they can’t even enjoy retirement is fucked up.

[@Rahrah_tee]

I've had 3 miscarriages and having people ask me CONSTANTLY if I'm pregnant or ask me why I'm not pregnant yet is actual torture. I've been married 5 years so it's been going on for that whole time. Some of my relatives actually get angry about it suggesting I'm being selfish or lazy for not having a baby.

[@toriw3954]

Sarah T I am so sorry that you have to go through this! My parents have been trying ever since they’ve had me (i’m 2 weeks shy of 17 now) and have been fairly open about this process with me and our extended family. It really, really rubs me the wrong way when one of our family members asks those kinds of questions, especially those who know more about the situation. I can’t even imagine how it makes them feel because I’m not even the main person affected and i feel like they’re breathing down MY neck.

[@notwanheda9056]

People are cruel. Unfortunately even family can be cruel sometimes. Hopefully without realizing it, but I’m sorry that that’s happened to you. And although I know it won’t ever be enough to fix your pain, I still wish you the best and good vibes and all good things to you ❤️ don’t lose hope!

[@IamMissPronounced]

Sarah T sorry to sound rude, but fuck those people. You don't deserve to have to live with that pain on top of the pain of past miscarriages. You deserve so much more

[@nasirb3914]

Sarah T I'm sorry Sarah. You are not alone.

[@cetkat]

I agree with MissPronounced. I'd honestly just lay it all down and issue an ultimatum: no mentioning pregnancy to you at all until (/if) you bring it up. Period. Break it, and they'll have no part in any possible child's life because they would have shown that they don't respect your boundaries & that's not the type of influence you'll accept in a child's life. Honestly, no pressure.. that's an uncomplicated response to a complicated problem. But please think about pulling out the sledgehammer. It seems appropriate at this point, going by what you said.

[@annmariesecreti1583]

When my fish died, I was devastated. He was my friend. I loved to watch him swim and feed him and take care of him...my ‘friend’ says to me, in my grief “you know fish die all the time, right?” So do humans, but you would never say that to someone who just lost a parent or partner or sibling. He was my friend, and I missed him. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing Ad with the internet. I’m so sad he’s gone, but I’m also thrilled to see he was so loved.

[@meawblackcatmeaw]

I'm sorry for the fishy...

[@curlgurl3617]

[@Salemscreep]

I have a 40 gallon filled with all sorts of beautiful fish. My favorite one? A basic carnival gold fish. I raised him from basically a guppy to a massive 7 inch beauty. He was my first fish, and when he died, I was so heart broken that it was unimaginable. I'm sorry your friend said this. Fortunately, my friend knew what "fancy" meant to me and she was there through my crying. If this ever happens to you again, the JennaJulien fam has your back. 💕

[@cinnastyle3260]

Jenna you're absolutely right. Fertility issues are FAR more common than I think people know, at the very least common enough that I wish people were more conscious about the issue in hopes they can _understand_ why those questions and speculations are at the very least intrusive and at the very worst devastating to someone who is struggling with infertility.

[@pcbassoon3892]

A friend of mine had someone try to be cute by making comments about her and her husband not having any children and they had just had a miscarriage. I don't ever comment about anyone having kids since then. It was such a devastating experience for them.

+Rebecca O'Sullivan That's horrible I hope they are coping okay :( God how can people be so insensitive... this podcast just made me mad

[@19aml89]

So true... I’ve struggled with infertility for almost a year and a half and it’s awful when people say “So when are you two having kids?” Like trust me, we would have had kids a year and a half ago if I had my way, but that wasn’t the case.

If anyone ever doubts how well you guys care for your animals i would refer them to the FORTY ,minute fish video. Jenna and Julien are the kinds of people that should be pets owners. They are caring, responsible, and have incredible hearts and souls. Ad was loved and had the best fucking 11 months!

[@GigglePoot23]

RIGHT ON!! I agree

[@LunaDelTuna]

I COMPLETELY understand where y'all are coming from. My 17 year old cat, that I've had since I was 9, died on Valentine's Day this year. When I told my "close" friends about it they just shrugged it off like it was no big deal "well, she is 17 years old." No shit, that's what makes it worse. When you grow a close bond with an animal it's no different than a person that you are really close with or a loved one dying. I truly feel sorry for the people that don't understand what it's like to share that relationship with an animal and hopefully one day they will.

[@shanshans10]

Courtney Kline I totally agree I had animals that I had for my whole life die two months apart and it absolutely sucked! People just don’t understand how hard and heartbreaking it is to loose your family and best friend.

[@ashybrie]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat of 13 years last year and I got a few of those comments but for those 13 years she was my best friend and helped me through some really tough and dark times. I still miss her everyday.

I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I fully can relate. My cat Buttons passed at about that age and it was awful. I remember i came home and found her and had to work later that day. I tried to call in and they were like 'it's a cat, grow up'.

[@kalinzxgor3]

Kind of in the same vein of the pregnancy thing; there are also people who are dealing with eating disorders or issues with their body image, so commenting on a woman saying "She looks pregnant I can see it" when she may be recovering, or maybe she just had become comfortable enough to eat a little more than usual....that could really mess her up. I think that if people want to speculate or anything, they need to keep it to themselves.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

I cannot handle when people say “it’s just a hamster” or whatever pet / animal it might be... it’s rude. People that say that are low key psycho. WHY would you even WANT to tell someone that when they just lost their pet in the first place? There’s something wrong with people who feel compelled to state that kind of opinion. And it’s not “just” a hamster. It’s alive, it was a child at one point, it has parents, it eats, it feels, it senses. It’s not a rock or a broken table or something that can be replaced or fixed easily. And not everyone has a wholesome family to go home to. My pets are all I have. I live 1000 miles away from any family. They mean everything to me. I’m so triggered. Rant over.

[@swolerabbit]

Velvet Gallery dude I was thinking the same shit. That sort of behavior - to me - puts you pretty close to being capable of becoming serial killers. No respect for a LIFE is disgusting. That’s someone’s family member! Do you also kill cats behind the shed for fun because “it’s just a cat?” Fuck.

People online are all suddenly a vet when animals pass away. I’m so sorry that people are being rude to you, some people are just pathetic. You took such good care of Ad, you couldn’t have done anything differently. You gave him an amazing life and sadly animals pass away and we can’t do anything about it. My hamster Piper passed away in November, he was nearly 2 years old and I found out when I took him to the vet that he had fluid in his lungs and would need to get put down. I could tell he was slightly off and he was a little lethargic so I took him to the vet and sadly was not able to take him home from the vet that day. I blamed myself and other people in my life blamed me but my vet confirmed that he was just getting old and had probably just gotten a little hamster cold that usually he would’ve been able to beat but he was too old and it almost turned into pneumonia. She told me it was something I never could’ve helped or been the cause of and she said he just got old and like any old person/animal it was his time to go. Good on you guys for standing up for yourselves, people need to be told that what they say hurts and that there are consequences for it. Chin up lovelies, life will get brighter for you soon 💖

This is so true. I also feel bad on Hila Klein of H3h3. She also keeps getting speculations that she's pregnant. What if they're having a hard time in real life yet they don't choose to show it. Its insensitive that they keep on pressuring her.

[@Lexi_loo82]

I saw the comments she was talking about on the hair video when they released it and i was shocked. They all said she had a bump and its so uncalled for. They need to understand that there is a possibility she isn't pregnant (which was the case) and with that being said they were pretty much calling her fat. Jenna is fit and beautiful and any comment that says she looks like she is putting on a few are so judgemental, she is more fit than I ever have been. Jenna is #goals Even if jenna wasn't fit those comments aren't ok. Making comments on peoples weight aren't ok unless it is your actual job to make comments on it or if that person had asked for your opinion. Even still, you have to be careful how you word things.

[@Oheyitsmandy1]

Agreed! There are just too many "what ifs" around the topic, and it is also a deeply personal decision/subject! I'm glad Jenna said something, and used the tone that she did. She's speaking for so many others who remain silent for various reasons.

[@nicholemakesstuff331]

I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and when I tell people I am, several of them will say "you're lying, you're not" because I'm not big enough...this pisses me off.

[@RealityChick77]

When my ex husband and I were trying to conceive I had 8 miscarriages and 2 still births. I posted on facebook after my first still birth and someone commented that God must have been punishing me by taking my baby girl's life. It was someone I knew my whole life so I know they have a good heart, but it crushed me. It made my grief harder. As far as the “expert”comments, I think people just want to relate and help. Judging is different though. It's all how you say/type it. There is no voice/facial expressions so the words can seem harsher than in real life. Plus a lot of people on here are very young so It's great that you guys address these issues head on. You do it in a respectful and insightful way which is a great way to handle it

Mary Loves Makeup77 honesty that person is horrible. God doesn’t take babies to punish others. He loves children more than anything. There was probably features your baby girl had that would have made her living be difficult or even painful. My heart is really with you for any pain someone has caused you using God as their excuse. He has love for all, no matter what they do. And He wouldn’t punish your child because of you. I am sorry that you were exposed to such hatred that hindered your healing. Your grief should not have been subject for ANYONE to comment on, let alone make hurtful statements like that. You were not at fault, May you find peace now in your life. God loves you, regardless of anything anyone else tells you, please always remember that. ❤️

When Jenna is talking about how people like to play the pregnant guessing game and then talking about what if someone has a miscarriage and having to explain that to the internet and then a bunch of ignorant people become pregnancy experts and saying oh you didn't do this right or questioning oh are you a smoker or a drinker were you eating the right stuff and just stuff like that is what I feel like ignorant people would say and it's ridiculous

[@sky8884]

Jazzy Boo666 but if they feel the need to leave those dumb comments why can’t they at least open their eyes. Jenna does drink and that’s not a bad thing but we know that if Jenna were pregnant which she isn’t she wouldn’t be drinking

[@0Greenwell0]

I hope you read this because I want to restore your faith in internet comments a little bit. Me and my boyfriend love sitting and watching you - you bring us closer together. We get reminded by you that we are normal - that fights and disagreements and life is normal, but what matters most is that you love each other despite and FOR their flaws. Jenna - you make me so much more confident to be a silly-as-hell 29-year-old lady and have no shame about it - which is useful because I’m a teacher and it reminds me to be silly with my kids and inspire THEM to be themselves. You affect me and in turn, my 100ish band students who I love with my whole heart. Julien - you inspire me as a photographer and drone pilot (and musician) to keep honing my craft and bettering myself. I love you guys so much, you have enriched my life immeasurably and I’m so thankful for the both of you. PS - I bought Snake Oil to play with my boyfriend the way you guys do - we laughed for hours. We are both teachers and it was amazing to actually sit down and spend hours together and not just watch TV. We get so tired from teaching and just don’t want to talk when we get home, which is ok too, but sometimes we need things like Snake Oil to remind us to spend time together. Thank you, and I hope I get to meet you both someday so that I can thank you in person and give you both a big hug (if that’s ok). ❤️

Respectfully disagree to the first half. I know it’s pretty hard with the oversaturation of youtube comments to get messages directly to Jenna/Julien, but it’s better if advice is phrased as respectful, General tips for maximum success. Like, I have a chronic illness and i get a ton of people telling me stuff like “oh do yoga and you’ll be better but forget that I’m the one living with the illness so I probably know more about my situation than them. Sometimes no advice and just well wishes of support and love is better than ill advise.

[@ribon-ichigo]

With an aunt who's suffered 6 miscarriages in a row, I learned how damaging that is emotionally and how speculation and comments about pregnancy are so horrible. When someone has a miscarriage their body doesn't realize it right away, so it still expands and over time the weight sort of stores itself as fat in most cases. Essentially my aunt gained a lot of weight and looked nearly 6~7 months pregnant after the fourth miscarriage. And after the first miscarriage her and my uncle decided not to publicly announce their pregnancy until after 5 months, to which 6 months in their 5th attempt miscarried. A few years later they were finally able to have a beautiful baby boy, but that time where they struggled to have a baby was so heartbreaking. They had the room prepared, names, clothes, everything, for each child they didn't have. Most people wouldn't guess that they had to go through this just a few years back. Moral of the story/TL;DR: Don't speculate pregnancy, and don't ask if someone's pregnant because 1. rude af and 2. you still gain "pregnant weight" after a miscarriage for at least a few weeks so you're just reminding someone of their dead kid possibly.

The rest of the girls are numbered. You have scenarios for each contestant (ie. contestant number 2 won’t stop interrupting the other contestants 1 on 1 time with the bachelor or bachelorette OR contestant number 5 has IBS and is constantly running to the bathroom) You pick a few scenarios for each week and eliminate the girls/ guys It’s also your chance to play producer and make the girls/ guys do what you want... scandalous 😋 Going to keep commenting till you guys see!

I'm pregnant right now in my third trimester, when I discovered I was pregnant I waited a long time to tell friends and family because of an experience of a close family friend of mine. She was asked and pressured to admit she was pregnant early on by family and she ended up being found out and then had to tell her family and friends about the pregnancy. 2 weeks later unfortunately she miscarried. It destroyed her because everyone she knew, knew about the miscarriage and she wasn't even ready to tell people in the first place. That miscarriage should have just stayed between her and her husband. It's a really difficult process to go through and it's a lot more common then people talk about or realize. You shouldn't announce a pregnancy until the 2nd trimester just to be safe and avoid that situation and you shouldn't pressure women into admitting something that they aren't ready to share with the world. She has a baby now and has a happy little family of her own but it took her awhile to bounce back or even want to try for a baby again because of that horrible experience.

Everybody's grieving process is so different, every amount of grief deserves respect.

[@nikolbkr]

oh thats so sad.. im sorry for your fury friend.. Thank you guys for the nice comments, i didnt expect this!!

[@ellenmayo]

On the subject of pregnancy speculation, consider overweight women, too. It's embarrassing when someone, even a complete stranger, asks if you're pregnant when you're already self conscious about your weight.

[@holligreenacre7890]

Ellen Mayo I’m a server at a wing restaurant, and our shirts are kind of tight, and I helped a customer just order take out the other day because I saw him standing up front and nobody was helping him out. So I go up there he orders his food, and he asks me “so when are you due?” That’s the first time I’ve ever had someone imply that I was pregnant (which I’m not) and the amount of shock and hurt that I felt from those 5 words coming from someone that i was just trying to help out was astounding.

[@Future_Phoenix]

Ellen Mayo Or anyone who is insecure about their body or self-conscious about it. Though I think it's just a rude and insensitive thing to say to anyone, even most average people would probably feel uncomfortable with such comments, sometimes even if they are pregnant and just feeling self-conscious about the changes their body is going through and their appearance. It's a shame people feel the need to say things like that and meddle in someone else's business and comment about someone else's body. I feel similarly about people who comment about how women need to "watch their figure", or how their probably eating or not eating something for that reason. I mean, I'm underweight and I'm always struggling with GAINING weight and yet had comments like that directed at me, especially from men. And it genuinely upsets me, because here I am struggling to be healthy and I hear comments like that, do you want me to be sickly or weak? What if I was anorexic? Do you ever stop to think what a comment like that could do to a young girl? And who are you to comment something like that about their body anyway? People like that just really upset me, I know they think this is the norm for women, but it shouldn't be and it shouldn't be encouraged, and that doesn't make it okay to say and it just really gets me. (Sorry, I got angry just thinking about it and started ranting...).

[@opalwzrd]

My son was stillborn over six years ago. Strangers online have told me I deserved it, accused me of ending the pregnancy myself. I've also had people say the same about my fluctuating weight, "omg she's pregnant and hiding it" it's devastating. Six years later, it can still make my bones freeze in trauma and I can't even move. I appreciate you both speaking on it when you posted this two years ago and even now. Sometimes I rewatch the Podcasts because I miss Jenna and this one finally came back up and I finally wanted to say it. Thank you.

[@marianaptks9933]

You didn't deserve that happening to you. It's wasn't your fault. Sending you a big hug

[@gia1884]

Next Julien should dye his hair bright neon green so in every podcast he’s just bald.

[@caoimhepower8641]

Georgia omg omg OMG YESSSSSSSS

[@emrldd2681]

they are literally in this position and you are talking about his HAIR!!! You ungrateful person!!!!!!! You are trying to make jokes but in this position you shouldn't try. Im sorry i am being mean but you need to be supportive. :)

[@raeganbarney951]

Noah Estep how would that be offensive? they love to laugh. ya they have had a hard month but georgias comment wasn’t mean

[@DahliaOlive]

Noah Estep it’s totally still supportive to make funny jokes. Lighten up the comments section a bit. In my opinion.

[@emrldd2681]

sorry i was just really mad. when somebody attacks or offends jenna in any way.. ooooooh ima get real mad.

[@LolliGiggles]

JENNA: I am definitely one of those people that has joined in the speculation of celebrities, not necessarily youtubers, but I’ve taken place in wondering and looking into things like Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy. I apologize for people like me, Jenna, I never considered that it might be inconsiderate to those who struggle with fertility. I’m also sorry because it’s just insensitive, and none of my business, and in a world of social media it’s so easy to forget where boundaries are (not that that is a legit excuse). I think you explained it really well, and I’ll think twice now when passing the tabloids... EDIT: Thank you everyone who left such kind and sweet replies! It really made my day.

[@personincognito3989]

LolliGiggles your comment is so awesome. It's so nice to see people taking responsibility for their behavior I try to do that too but sometimes I suck at it. Good on you partner

[@swolerabbit]

It’s AWESOME to see someone willing to grow like that and admit to it. It’s an amazing thing to expand your worldview, and I know she hasn’t commented, but I think Jenna would be super proud of you!

[@20amleth]

You sound like an awesome person! I'm sure most people (including myself) did't stop to think it the way jenna explained. It's so cool you admitted it like that, most people wouldn't

[@jossytah]

Such a great comment. Eye opening, more people like you are needed. Much love

[@courtneyagar3109]

My heart warmed reading this. The fact that someone is willing to look internally at their own actions and make changes in response to constructive feedback is how this world grows. We all need to do a little bit of this, now more than ever.

[@erinmcnamara8849]

As a woman with infertility issues who has had miscarriages, i fully agree with everything Jenna had to say. It hurts so bad, to lose your child. To feel like every month you're letting down your significant other because you constantly get your hopes up, and are let down every month. And then on top of that, having had miscarriages, being so so so afraid to lose your child if you managed to conceive... it's heartbreaking and it hurts so badly. To hear people ask me how far along i am after i lost my child, or for people a year or so after hearing I'm pregnant, asking me how my baby is doing, despite me having told people about losing my child... it hurts.

Listening to you guys talk about how hurtful internet comments have been to you makes me so much happier that you guys now get a bit of a reprieve to just live a more normal life. You deserve it Jenna we love you if ever you come back we are here!

[@taylormcclain573]

to hear that mean comments are getting to jenna makes me so sad and mad! *THEY CAN TURN ON THEIR LOCATION AND CATCH THESE HANDS* i love you guys and hate it when you guys are going through hard times. 💜

Taylor McClain Those comments she was talking about weren't even mean, they're insensitive though for sure. I don't understand how she would get bothered by them though when she has so many people that show her support.

[@lindseystraley1548]

Taylor McClain they can catch my damn hands too. And a few shovels.

[@umnia4316]

I remember watching one of your podcasts from a year ago and jenna joking about how being 25 is the worst year and life really begins at 26... I know this has been a tough year and rough month for you julien, but your strength and resilence is so apparent and shines through to thousands of people who have never met you. Keep smiling and thank you for keeping us smiling ❤️ dink fam loves you

[@nutnutnutnutnut]

Ads was the best toupee to have ever blessed the Earth.

[@ZakCrouch]

I never comment on KZbin. I don’t really talk to people that I don’t know. I watch both your channels and while I think I know you both, I know the you, you both share. So I don’t pretend to know either of you because in reality, I don’t. I think in some universe, Julien and I would be super tight, but what do I know? I can remember tweeting you both over some troll issue a year or so ago and you both liked it and I felt like I got a celebrity’s attention. I have since attempted to tweet you both once or twice and I should’ve stopped after the first. Ha. Here’s my point: I don’t tweet you or comment your guys’ videos because quite frankly, I didn’t think you actually read them so I didn’t see the point. But then I heard this podcast on iTunes and was bothered knowing that you guys get negative and ignorant comments/tweets and you read them. So because of my silence, I felt like part of the problem. I have said before and I will continue to say that Julien is EXTREMELY talented. His editing skills and success with LMT is astounding. And Jenna? Cmon, girl... I’ve been watching you since your days with that east coast accent. I was trying to think back what the first video was I saw of yours and it was probably the one with the face girls should make to get guys to go away. That killed me. I have watched every single video since. Even the ones on your forgotten vlog channel lol. I’ve been there through your past relationships, when you got a puppy, then another puppy. When you moved. I’ve watched your relationship with Julien grow right in front of me. But all that time I’ve invested in your life and your content, does not give me or anyone else any stock in your life. NO ONE owns you. Jenna, your confidence is radiant in your commitment to make your viewers laugh or feel entertainment. You both are incredibly brave vlogging your lives as it opens you up to criticism. You’re incredible people with great hearts for people and animals. Hopefully some of this genuine love is louder than the hate and you actually read this contrary to my previous assumptions that you don’t. I mean, if I had millions of views and thousands of comments, I don’t know if I would read them all, but I’m sure curiosity would lead me to read a few so I hope the universe leads you to reading this at a time either of you need to read it. You have no bigger cheerleader in your corner wanting you both to continue to succeed than me. I’m sorry to you both for my silence.

[@kayleighfranco2098]

Zachary Films this is such a wholesome comment

[@updog7470]

this MADE MY DAY

[@maryprice8458]

This is beautiful! I felt empowered just reading it, my goodness!

[@pepperpattynaise]

This is such a beautiful, human comment. Thank you, my dude.

[@kuekas7]

This is dope af. So much love

[@BibleIllustrated]

J&J, I am really sorry for your loss, and I know you guys take a lot of comfort in providing Ad with the best care imaginable. I usually dread getting a reply on my comments (not so much comments on my channel) because I know that, in 90% of cases, the reply will be needlessly snide. We had a show on here that was called 'It Isn't Hard Being Nice' and really, does it really take so much to commiserate with someone who's lost a beloved pet?

[@BibleIllustrated]

LOL Is that a good thing!? :D

[@CaitlinnPatrickk]

spreading positivity is always a good thing! we need more people like you on the internet

[@BibleIllustrated]

Caitlin Patrick You guys are the best teachers!

[@groigen]

I agree, KZbin comments are so vile all the time. It's rare you get a nice response, especially if you're expressing an opinion, even when it isn't hurting anyone.

[@ouijabored_7231]

People who comment that losing Ad is "no big deal" have never experienced a connection to an animal or have never lost an animal. We raise and love our pets as if they are our children - it's absolutely devastating when they get sick, injured, or pass away. Those who have never experienced such a beautiful connection could never understand what Jenna and Julien are going through.

[@sheryllass8217]

Yea, I agree with you, that’s why it’s hard for those people to feel empathy, because they have never had pets or the opportunity to have that “family” connection. It’s not because these people are heartless, or psycho, they just never experienced love for a pet, like see them as family and be so close to them. Not their fault. Not everyone can have the luxury of having a pet, like not enough space at home or their parents won’t allow it or they just don’t want to have pets. Everyone is different and likes/loves different things. But people still should be respectful of other people’s feelings, you may not agree with them, but just respect them, someone is sad because of a loss of a pet (what they consider a family member) don’t be an asshole, they are sad comfort them.

[@LexiUnicorn]

the nastiest sh-t i have ever seen in my life was on channon rose's videos when she lost her babies, it honestly made me cry that people could be that evil, just because of her past. People need to realise "youtubers" are normal people with a camera, that decide to share their lives. If you want to watch, you should respect them, human to human.

[@marialanier9154]

Lexi Unicorn I TOTALLY SAW THOSE!! Like what sick bitch tells a mother that it is her fault she miscarried? It upset me because I truly love all the youtubers I watch and why can’t people just keep their negative ass comments to themselves?

[@elizabeth-leavesandreads2890]

Lexi Unicorn yes! People posted horrible shit on her video after that. I just don't get how people could be so evil. The best advice is to think before you post.

[@torilee6677]

That’s awful! I’m not a fan but I don’t get why so many people harass her like no one is making you watch her!! And they can never leave anything sacred... 1 in 4 women have experienced miscarriages, they’re actually *really* common and no one talks about it and then you have crap like THIS. It’s so wrong.

[@MrsAmbMcC]

Lexi Unicorn yes! Omfg... I’ve never been a fan of Channon but I went to her comments multiple times to send support and report the idiots on there.... How are people so sick

[@dottyroads46]

Lexi Unicorn people were so awful.

[@fiona8230]

Jenna has so much empathy, and here it really shows. She puts herself in so many women’s shoes, mentioning that she’s never had their experiences but knows how emotional it can be. I’m proud to support Jenna and julien. They’re both so intelligent and educated and make the internet a better place.

[@kaykay12152]

Julien as long as you aren't hurting anyone, you do you. That's sick that people are trying to impose an appropriate mourning period. Julien will always carry the memories of his friend with him. No amount of mourning can change the situation and *it's admirable how Julien is fighting to push forward with his life.*

It’s interesting to come back to this podcast and hear Jenna talk about potentially signing off the internet. I hope she feels free now from ridicule or the public eye in general. So many people love you and we all just hope you’re happy and thriving. Okay miss this podcast so will watch more old episodes

[@samara.morgan]

What the fuck? I was happy for Julien seeing that he can find some happy moments despite his grief, every normal person would be glad to see him smiling and joking. And it sucks what people are writing about Ads death, so cruel... I hope these are just spoiled kids who never had to deal with these awful feelings. But some day they'll have to and I hope there'll be someone to make them feel even worse.

[@hollygamble15]

[@royal8133]

Samara Morgan THIS. Julien's "brief grieving period" is so ridiculous to me, the fact that he can find happy moments through all this is such a relief to me, plus we see like 0.01% of Julien and Jenna's lives, just if you see either of them happy in a video doesn't mean they aren't suffering? Have some respect people.

he was such a damn good boy

[@Su123k]

The internet really made Jenna sign off, and people don’t understand that every comment does make a difference. We live in a world where people say cruel shit and then justify it by saying that once you put something out on the internet anyone can say anything even if it’s fucked up. I’m happy Jenna has a private and peaceful life now, but we’re deadass never gonna get back the best KZbinr and kindest soul

[@Moonguided]

I love that Julien gets Jenna's "too much" gene when they're playing Snake Oil.

[@WolfAdvocated]

I love and respect you guys so much for speaking out against the pregnancy comments especially, but the grief comments also. Like people making fun of the Parkland students, that they were smiling in photos - ALL grief comes in waves, many people cope through nervous laughter, and those moments of brief joy/feeling support help people survive their worst experiences. A friend is potentially going through a loss and when we chat, there are serious convos mixed in with funny anecdotes because people are PEOPLE going through tough things - they aren't ONLY the tough things. You need to remember your humanity through the heartbreaking things and believe maybe there is joy in getting through these dark times. I am so sorry for your loss of your friend, Julien, and of losing Ad, and those shitty comments Jenna. That really sucks and you can tell it's a topic you are really passionate about, from seeing loved ones going through those experiences - it's really important and validating that you spoke out about it.

[@brandicrane6103]

Me undies should do a #ad pattern

[@elysekarl576]

I hate that the internet finally made Jenna sign off for good but honestly happy for her that she doesn’t have to put up with it anymore. Every human being deserves respect and compassion.
