Hello there

[@anastasiaeqbali6933]

I think Johnnie was everything Bryan wishes he was and that why he posted his pic the first time he met him. “You are who you surround yourself with”

[@darkstar0811]

Johnnie cleaned his room.

[@aguy4247]

I was on the bryanstars tour Johnnie met everyone at, and the one after that he was a part of. Glad to see he's still kicking it. I'll always remember him as the like 15/16 year old who didn't know what he was doing there! He was a sweet kid and fun to tour with. Also, not gonna add anything, but, everything Johnnie is saying about Bryan is true.

[@proyectosoledad]

You should interview Mr. Bryanstars ⭐️ it would be interesting to hear from him after the self-exile from the internet.

[@hatersgoingstohateyae5127]

Yes!!!

[@Morimoto94]

Who else is 26 and remembers all the old interviews. Too bad the guy lost himself. He always talked about how insecure he was, not very popular, a virgin etc etc. Money does not equal happiness, remember that folks.

[@Kaylamity_slays]

Just turned 27, I shared a hbd post Bryan sent to me on Twitter from 2013 lol elder emo for life

[@mandiac9719]

24 but yes, I honestly lived for every interview...its sad how people change

[@fey__3919]

Yupp!! The sad thing is, he was actually such a funny guy, as an old fan, me and my friend genuinely liked the guy and didn't care that he didn't visually fit into the gang - like some other people did... But yeah... really disappointing how people change or something comes out about them that shows their true character :(

[@TayePurks]

It sounds like Bryan really valued Johnnie’s friendship in the beginning and saw his talent. But then Bryan got the biggest head and saw him purely for financial gain.

I would like to see an interview with Bryan but at the same time I don’t think I’d trust a thing he says, I feel like he’d do anything for redemption and to get his fans and shit back. The more I go back and watch the old videos the more I see how he was controlling and how uncomfortable everyone around him was during that time.

Johnnieeeeee ♥️♥️♥️🎶🎶🎶💋💋💋

[@witchingbrew3]

I only know Johnnie through twitch and then youtube, after. But you cant tell me there was something suspect going on with Bryan getting these teen boys to do illuded and clickbait sexual stuff, that it wasnt some form of grooming. I fell off the "scene" in 2012 and just moved on (due to life and couldnt go to concerts as much). So much dark stuff happened in that decade. I feel bad for them because they seem like such good kids (they're adults now). They are just now realizing how disgusting and emotionally and financially abusive the situation was. Im glad the Me To movement is allowing all people to come forward to speak about what happened to them. I know this isnt completely what this was and when hes ready he can, but it felt like it was starting to click with Johnnie. I wish him well, his music is catchy to. I just feel upset to think they were put in such a fast situation. Reminds me of what that Jeff Wittick guy is currently going through with David Dobrik...

[@pinkmazohyst]

The ironic thing is, Johnnie said it could have honestly been like that, but he said Bryan was too stupid and socially inept to try anything

A 16 year old becoming all that it's honestly I just realized he's one of the few people who didn't have a Brittany spears level breakdown after becoming well known. I've never heard of Johnnie in particular acting out in general like Justin beaver.
