[@MaryAlice08]

@majordamage4202 well it's all opinions 🤷‍♀️ Honestly getting into it deeper than a quick comment I think cheating isn't black and white, and how I would feel about someone who cheated would depend entirely on circumstances. Not nice could be an understatement, vile could be an overstatement. I think cheating is pretty foolish. If you're unhappy in your relationship I think there's typically better options, but I wouldn't judge without knowing the situation. If you just aren't content with being with one person I think there's plenty of people out there who are interested in consensual non-monogamy. It might not be the most popular life style but especially with the internet you can easily find people who are interested in supporting your lifestyle of choice. But for the most part I think something involving an adult inappropriately interacting with a minor is worse than an adult interacting inappropriately regarding their relationship with another adult.

The Trent part might be the most disturbing. I am 35 and on the autism spectrum, so even struggling with social cues, I know not to talk to underage kids and especially not about sexual things! Wow!

[@beyedoc]

@@highimleslie13 Agree, that's exactly my point. I just foresee them using neurodivergence as part of a reason to "justify" why Colleen and Trent (if they even mention him) may struggle with what's "appropriate." But that will extend to barely crossing a boundary or maybe a single bad judgment call, not something so over the boundary as talking about sex with underage kids and doing it multiple times. There is no excuse for that.

[@salmonandsoup]

Absolutely. Speaking as a 25-year-old AuDHDer (aka autistic and with ADHD), with my peers, would I sometimes struggle with oversharing or accidental boundary-crossing? Yeah, if they're the type of friends who like dirty jokes and are pretty open sexually, and I just don't catch that they're not cool with something I thought they were, to which the response would be "oh shit, I'm sorry, I won't do that in the future. Thanks for letting me know about this boundary". But with CHILDREN? Fuck no. While I'm a firm believer that intergenerational friendships are CRUCIAL to development for everyone, because you can learn a TON from people both significantly older and significantly younger than you, what Colleen did is beyond just not okay-it's predatory. This shit taints the idea of intergenerational friendships.

I dont think people are understanding why Ethan didn't initially want to cover this. It's because Trisha genuinely tried to ruin his life, and when she feels that someone is slighting her career, she will stop at nothing to ruin their lives. And because she has a podcast with Colleen and they are friends, she would 100% see Ethan's coverage as an attack on herself. She is literally a part of his family.

And he uses excuses and things he ALREADY knew about them as the reason to kick them. And it's like mean bullying. As I'm aware he doesn't pay them either. There's so many examples.

Actually, I didn’t know that Adam got ran off with his original accusations and video on her a few years ago.

I'm really glad that H3 and Olivia covered. I want to say as a 37 year old counselor none of this is your fault and it is so brave to come out. I watched your video in 2020 and I always believed you. She's getting off easy because she is a woman (In my opinion).

[@CT-mw8lm]

Oh it's definitely because she's a woman. there's an overwhelming amount of evidence and she's still walking free. A male predator would be jumped in prison for less. People seem to have this notion that just because she's a woman and a mother means she can't cause harm to children. She absolutely can. And has done so for years 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Hi-en7xx]

@@CT-mw8lmshe may be getting leeway on KZbin because of that, but let’s not pretend like big male KZbinrs who’ve done very similar things have actually gotten arrested.

[@Bozthecat]

I 100% agree with you. Olivia’s personal connection to the story made this coverage impactful in a different way. I also loved that you joined and shared. It was so good.

[@riackerman]

She will release a tell-all about her childhood s abuse and will say that it is what normal feels like to her. Mark my words.

[@dummesarah]

She is going to bring up past trauma and talk about how she normalized what she experienced.

i remember when it was all happening too, (colleen and eric and josh dynamic and the whole hawaii vacation) and i feel like i was too young to realize what was happening- much like MANY things that she did 💀💀 now that i’m older and watching you adam im realizing sooooo much… thank you. honestly as a fan since like 2010 and i’m around the same age as you, it’s scary and putrid how i never realized 90% of her toxic and disgusting behaviors. but we cannot blame ourselves because we were children. ty for educating everyone and being a voice 🤍🤍

I met Kory in a target Starbucks once and it was the most awkward and rude interactions I’ve ever experienced

[@elizabethkennedy257]

I have no doubt in my mind that Cory is a miserable person. I lived with a narcissistic borderline sociopathic "best friend" for a little over a year until I was able to get out. Whats wild about this case is that he is also equally as creepy and at fault for bullying of minors.. the dynamic in their home must be BEYOND toxic and I can only imagine extremely unhealthy for erik and the children. This is beyond codependent and insane.

[@georgiaoliver5727]

I know you said you hate that you're having to process things that you never wanted to process, but I think it's going to be good for you in the long run. I didn't process my trauma when I was younger, and it came back to bite me HARD in the ass years later. I know you don't want to have to process this- no one should ever have to process shit like this- but you've done a great job. You've handled this whole thing with a grace and maturity that most adults could never fathom, and this internet nobody is very proud of you.

[@melp8175]

Adam, you are a strong intelligent and caring man . As a mom. I’m so proud of your strength , and can’t wait for your exciting future ahead . You rock Adam, don’t ever doubt yourself ❤

I love listening to Adam speculate about how Colleen will respond, never guessing a 10 minute ukulele song. 😂

[@janalucke9739]

Just wanted to tell you that I'm very proud of you, Adam. We've surely all been betrayed by someone we thought has our best interest...but taking it up with a hateful mob on the internet is a whole different ballgame. You've gone through it and came out not caving and true to yourself. That is something to admire. I'm sure this will give a lot of people hope and strength. It's not just drama that you were dragged into and I hate that framing. I hope you can get some peace during your vacation, you deserve it.❤

Yeah I have fibro too and those closest to me don't even understand the affect it has on me. We hide the intensity pretty well, but since it's an "invisible illness" we aren't always believed. My first thought when you said the mother character pretends is that Colleen probably thinks all of us pretend

[@iiccyyy]

I’m shocked Colleen and family new about Trent being inappropriate with minors, this is new to me! I can’t believe she allowed him to come on tour and be surrounded by a bunch of minors!! Minors who idolize and pay to see them no less! I feel so uneasy…

[@dummesarah]

It’s literally disgusting.

[@xoxoRanniiaaxoxo]

i can’t believe colleen and chris allow him to be around their children.

[@AliceBunny05]

it's like a 50 layer cake of fuckery. then you start to realize regardless of if it's intentional or not, her grooming of the kids to normalize inappropriate and sexual conversations likely made them more susceptible to being further groomed by her brother and likely heavily traumatized since it genuinely seems like he is a pedophile.

[@brookestancill1630]

I’m so bloody glad Ethan and the cast spoke about this, I was waiting for this video, and honestly more people need to know about your story and everyone else’s. Hopefully more fans or future fans will know to NOT support this women and the people around her. Love you Adam 💋

[@Tye-Dyed]

It makes me smile to see you so happy now. I can't imagine how emotionally difficult it was to build yourself back up after 2020. Even before all of this finally came to light it seems like you were doing pretty good all things considered, but it definitely feels like this huge invisible weight has finally been lifted off your shoulders and now you are absolutely glowing! It was a huge burden for you to have to bear for 3 years.

[@Nolitaflat]

watched when you streamed this. I think Olivia did a good job. I'm glad such large KZbinrs are covering this. This undoubtedly will get the story out even more, in addition to those other publications coming out soon.

[@Olivia-pm1ch]

anyone else find it interesting that since Colleen married Erik they would always talk about how they 'don't remember their anniversary date' and stuff? maybe because it was around the time she was filming the netflix show and they didn't want anyone to know she outright cheated on Joshua...

[@FaerieFen]

Adam what Colleen did to you was unconscionable!! my entire family that doesn’t even know who she is now knows who you are and her! They are disgusted!! you’ve always been one of my favorites because you’re so genuine and intelligent for somebody pretty young! Super proud of you. 💖💖🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@shannoncleveland]

As someone with fibromyalgia. The fact that shes using this disease as a punchline for her show and it turn made this story from her bullying of a fan? Its vile. What the actual hell is wrong with her. The reality of fibro is a daily struggle and the awful things that keep coming out about her makes me believe deeply that she cannot come back from this. I don't care about an apology, she's just a terrible person and so is her awful best friend and creeper brother.

As someone who’s worked in SV and knows the impacts gr0°ming can have on children under the age of 25- Adam, it’s very normal and common to be struggling with your appearance, body confidence, having your image shared online, etc. This situation is so unfair for you and no one should ever be forced to process experiences like this- especially on such a large public scale!!!! It’s all a part of the harm that’s caused when adults engage in inappropriate and dangerous behaviours with children. All this to say, PLEASE know that it’s going to get better with time and care and things like therapy or self-growth or however you choose to continue moving forward with your life!!! Do what works for you, be kind to yourself because that negative messaging is so so impacted by the harm these adults have caused you- it is NOT your fault or responsibility!!!!
