True Crime & Makeup | Zack & Addie | Brittney Vaughn

[@BrittneyVaughn]

Chiiile, let me address this even tho I hate explaining myself because some people are just committed to misunderstanding you, and no matter what you say, they’ll twist it to fit their narrative....but I’m in bed w/this flu, so I got a little time... “She feels bad for Zack, but not Addie” I’ve stated in multiple comments that I empathize with both people in this story. That both were damaged souls that latched on to each other and that ultimately led to their demise. While that doesn’t excuse either of their actions, it does offer room for empathy & understanding. By no means do I feel like what he did was ok, justified, deserved, etc...at all. If I like a comment that simply says “i feel bad for Zack” it’s because, I do....they may not be that far in the story yet; this could be about his earlier life so I’m not going to jump in and elaborate, and it doesn’t mean that I don’t feel bad for Addie as well. Miss me completely with “she doesn’t care because it’s a white girl”...as if I haven’t cried on this channel in front of you over “white girls” That’s such an ugly and disgusting character flaw to put on someone. I’m black, Native, & Greek; obviously the people I come from didn’t raise me in the ignorance that is rac ism....they were out here loving on everybody😩 That’s all...This is for the people who are genuinely supporters of mine, that may have GENUINELY misunderstood me💕 I know that’s the majority, and I love you back. Everyone else can get hammertoe😌

[@loren7753]

Baby girl what’s understood doesn’t need to be explained. Trust me I understand truly what is to have compassion for people. It’s hard even in the most terrible crimes not to feel a little bit bad that this crime wouldn’t have taken place had the individual not experienced certain situations or had some since of direction to choose a different route. I actually took a ghost tour in New Orleans where they discussed this crime but they definitely didn’t provide as much back story. Thank you for sharing this story!

@@keltystapleton2607 I disagree about the age if you haven’t achieved anything of value like a decent job your own place to live some sort of education even the bare minimum of a G.E.D and you’re still living with your parents or mooching off everyone , you’re in fact a failure . There is no logical reason for someone in their 30s to be on the level of a 20 yr old that’s just laziness and lack of self respect or the inability to take responsibility or accountability for your own life choices.

I’ll be the bad guy and say I was worried Addie would kill him so knowing he got her first and then jumped from a room has me just shocked. He just kept going through so much in such a short time.

What Zack did was absolutely horrific, but. . . I kinda think it wouldn't have happened, if he hadn't been in such a toxic relationship.

[@hermosamosa3216]

I like it when they're solved cases. There's an unsolved murder of a child that died under 2 years old (arisen) in my family. That was only in the 90's too. I was too young to remember exact details, so I'll skip them, but I'd rather hear about the bad guy being brought to justice at least. I don't mean to sound aggressive either, but we can't pretend like it doesn't happen and when it does we can't ignore it either. I think it's best just to skip content you don't personally want to watch. Hearing people being brought to justice gives me hope people won't go through not knowing or being able to prove suspicions. Things we don't like shouldn't also inhibit content producers either, because bad things will always happen. If they happen we can at least hope that people won't get away with it.

This story hits different because neither person is “evil” or an “innocent victim”- in the normal sense ( its very sad Addie dies, no she didn’t deserve it) what I mean it’s not the normal killer stalks random lady buying groceries type of story. It’s sooooooo extra sad and weighs on my heart. But it teaches a lesson of how important it is to break the cycle of toxic relationships. Someone can be lovable as hell but just simply not ready to be in a long term loving adult/mature relationship.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS CASE!!! Few side notes: • For those who have been SAed, it can be really trigging to be around children, particularly if they are the same age they were went the SA happed. So I’ve always wondered if that’s what made Addie flip at the last minute about his kids. • A documentary was made about this case but can’t be released because one of their friends who were interviewed, went on to murder someone else and it’s tied up in all that!!

It’s safe to safe that joining the military was the beginning of the end for him. They ruined him and threw him away when he couldn’t offer anything to them. If he had of gotten the counseling her care he needed, I’m 100% sure this would not have happened. I’m not making excuses for him. It was still terrible. But you can’t expect much else from a man that’s seen so much and got so little to show for it.

[@LolGurrl91]

Yep. Very few soldiers are even given the help and understanding to help them aggust to life back into society. Many have so much PTSD and/or physical disabilities due to war and are just expected to aggust to life afterwards. Many end up homeless, divorced because their PTSD and baggage from battle comes into the marriage, etc. It's really sad, actually. You're expected to endure so much and likely won't receive the empathy and help you need.. people are pretty much expendable in the army, if you don't perform the way they want you to then they have no issue throwing you out.

I've been sober going on 4 yrs. & dodged trouble completely. Happy Holidays & love your makeup, totally cool, peace, love, Janine Smiley🙂😀😏😉😘🚗🚘🏡🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁

Thank you for covering this! This isn’t a well known story, I actually only stumbled upon this story when watching a documentary about hurricane Katrina. I’ve asked Bailey sarian to cover it & never heard back so I’m so excited to see someone else doing these lesser known crimes

I just found you through better off red and I’m SO glad she suggested you! You are my absolute FAVORITE!!!!!

[@ShallowApple22]

Funfact: from approx 13-18yrs old every decision made is made on an emotional basis your emotions are so raw and developing at this time that you are literally living in a vessel of emotions that fluctuate and change at the drop of a hat amd you have no reason as to why other than its what you feel at that time. So embrace ypurself at all times don't try and understand it and remember you are valid ALWAYS X

Thank you 😊

[@alyssacaudill5252]

This is a story that has always grabbed ahold of me . I first read it in 2008 in a magazine. This was also my first time watching you . I just want to say you KILLED IT. This is the most in depth and informative coverage I have ever seen. Thank you for shedding more light on this case. Can't wait to watch more of your content!

[@JoeQuettaSorrells]

GIRL!!!! You got me hooked at "Hammer Time & Hammer Toe" I SCREAMED! Lolllllllll

[@meghanhertzog2426]

I loved the part where Brittany said "little hoes didn't want to mind their own business, acting like their little lives was perfect". Bahaha So glad I found this channel. Then cried with her about the 2nd kid dying.

[@irenes8689]

The lady provoked him to anger and made him fall off the deep end. He should not have gone back to her.

[@liliana933]

His life was doomed the moment he moved to New Orleans.

[@1Dispretty2me]

literally what did she do to deserve him murdering him, raping her corpse, dismembering her and cooking her remains? She did not "provoke" him to do that.

[@Indiegirl007]

@@1Dispretty2me Yeah, they both had issues. If the substance abuse hadn't beat them to it, one of them probably would have taken the other out. It was just, part of the course of destruction they were on.

[@1Dispretty2me]

@@DebbieGonzales823 what a truly horrendous thing to say. That's genuinely the most disgusting thing I've read today....she did not " die hope she lived" she died at the hands of a man who went into a fit of rage, raped her corpse & desecrated her body. NONE of that was her fault

[@1Dispretty2me]

@@heather_doestruecrime I don't see how her race has anything to do with it but i do agree that the victim blaming is sickening

Who else died when she said hammertoe was a dance. I love it. 😂😂

[@blackestcat-ce4zc]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did!!!

[@ninachkah13]

First time watcher! ... and you had me at "hammer toe ain't no damn dance!" ... plus I really enjoyed your way of telling the story and your voice is very soothing !! I look forward to seein n break

[@she_evel]

Such a tale of woe!! Perfect example of how you feel about yourself dictates how your life turns out! NOT bragging at all, I've always been told how pretty I am, yet I failed to see it due to how low my self esteem was/ is. IMO my life SUX, even tho I got/ get practically everything I want, there's always been an emptiness. Even when I'm surrounded by a lot of people, I feel alone. I know how he felt. Such a horrible way to go!! He sounded like a nice guy!

[@ms.sibiya]

You didn’t say BARS after saying “bigger and badder than ever” :( Sis are you feeling fine??

[@swaggerish]

Cuz it's Soo natural she didn't notice 😂

[@Jelly4rm904]

The vibe seemed a little off. Almost like she was sad or might be going through something.

[@ms.sibiya]

@@Jelly4rm904 Exactly my thoughts. My heart goes out to her, hope she’s ok

Lana or however you spelled her name leaving him was probably his final trigger.

Girlfriend, you have hybrid hair. How da hayl your hair grew back so fast? Just beautiful. 🥰

[@crysgreen24]

I feel like maybe if your relationship starts with shots of jager, your relationship is definitely going to go very wrong some how

[@GenXfrom75]

eh, not necessarily! I met my husband in a bar, partying it up. We've been together nearly 18 years now, married 16. It's rare, but it's possible. There were so many OTHER red flags in Zack and Addie's situation, though.

[@candybabel6289]

Thanks for providing more of Zach’s background. I always felt like there was more going on under the surface. It’s a sad ending for all. I only recently discovered your channel. Great commentary and company! Binging 👍

[@BridgetteBentley]

The most thorough video of this story I’ve seen, thank you. What a sad sad story.

[@sahirarodriguez9782]

Your hair and makeup is just so beautiful ! I will actually love a hair video. ....and lets not mention you tell the stories BEST !!! 💕

Do a piece on Joan Hill! I'm from Houston TX and the Hill case is legendary here! There's wealth, greed, alleged infidelity, murder by poisoning, and a pissed off man hell bent on making his son in law pay for what he did to his daughter Joan! Please do the Joan Hill story🥰

[@catladyrn733]

I just found this channel and I am so happy. I can binge watch. The world is so polarized and divided and this channel is a nice escape from all the politics. Thank you. Your beautiful

[@BrittneyVaughn]

Thank you☺️ I’m glad that you can come here and escape all of the madness. We all need that break♥️

[@tracyturner3099]

I love the look!! What a sad story. I work with Veterans and often they have many PTSD and alcohol/drug problems. It breaks my heart.

[@gat402-x5l]

This was really sad. He really went through all the terrible things and I'm surprised he was still as loving as he was to the people around him until the murder. I've watched true crime for over a decade and this is the only time where I have truly felt for the killer. Addie as a human being didn't deserve to die, but honestly someone (male or female) without all the issues Zack had probably would have hurt her too in some kinda way for all the awful and manipulative things she was doing. He did it quickly in a moment of passion and it wasn't premeditated... If I was on a judge, I would convict him but then sentence to 5 years in a mental institution (with occasional supervised release) and 10 years of probation after that so he could finally get the help he needed. The US military is also partly responsible for Addie's fate.
