[@captainhook4258]

THANK YOU. ive been periodically checking her account to see if she's okay. its so concerning

[@olive6960]

i have been waiting for someone to make this video for SO long THANK you

[@abook2141]

the way i gasped when i saw this title--bc WHAT DO YOU MEAN AYYDUBS, OF ALL PEOPLE, IS IN A CULT

[@lolsuprising]

girl this situation happened almost 3 years ago ? 😭😭

[@Daniellejosiemilo]

I had no clue about this, I loved watching her videos for years and years. She was so funny.

[@rosalierowan]

FINALLY! I’ve been dying to see someone talk about this!! She used to be one of my favs and her disappearance genuinely made me feel worried for her! (Ps. I hope she’s OK and thriving)

[@olive1855]

dude i remember watching her vids with jennxpenn i LOVED them together. i can't believe this is what she's doing now

[@rocky02524]

you cannot convince someone in a cult that they are in a cult. spiritual psychosis feels really good when you’re in it!

[@larkin_17]

I hadn't thought about her since I was like 12, I hope she is safe or finds safety in her life because she really was a key part of my childhood. I hope her cats okay too

[@fundiearchive]

I neeeeed Amy Ordman's take on Alyx joining an alleged cult

[@creaturefromchannel13]

“IN PASADENA IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE” - Pasadena is a Los Angeles city with a massive population & very urbanized for at least 80 years now.

"Love for ayhuasca and the other plants we work with" doing drugs in peru doesnt suddenly make doing extremely mind and life altering substances more safe. It makes a person more susceptible to being isolated while in a very delicate and malleable state of mind

[@puzzledbug578]

reallll such a huge red flag when I heard her say that 💀

[@cbdsoundsystem]

been waiting for someone to cover this one!!! thank you for still being an alpha male ✨

[@lolsuprising]

Amazing video, outlines the situation perfectly 🤍

[@criswillcri]

The way i have been WAITING for someone to post a video about this, never mind by my favourite alpha male...

[@SolitudeDayys]

Almost anytime a KZbinr joins a cult their “comeback” or “explanation” video is always with a stranger that nobody has seen on their channel before.

[@lolsuprising]

I used to watch her podcast EVERY WEEK I have never been so fixated on a podcast before, it’s disappointing to see her take this route.

[@ava130]

I actually just checked her account yesterday bc I randomly wondered what happened..hopefully she’s okay.

[@singingblueberry]

I used to watch her videos all the time when I was younger. Hope she's okay.

[@lolsuprising]

Honestly, I don’t think she’s in a cult-I think she’s just a wealthy LA girl looking for meaning in spirituality, pretending to be a hippie when she’s anything but. She’s doing all this ‘spiritual’ stuff and going on luxury vacations, claiming it’s anti-capitalist, but in reality, it’s just her indulging in her wealth. She’s not actually doing anything to help people with less; she’s just using the aesthetic of being ‘anti-system’ while benefiting from the system more than most.

[@frhrutklllwppw124]

How is she benefiting from that considering that she's not working anymore? If she was showcasing and promoting this way of life selling her spiritual courses or something, I would understand. But she just dissapeared. I wonder where she gets her money from. I guess her friends drug addicts just tell her make do with what they have and the only thing that they need now is hallucinogen

[@1livingcorpsegirl]

that’s crazy i did not know this :O

[@Chris-gw2kz]

Wait wtf I used to watch her all the time and this is the first I’m ever hearing of this 😭😭

[@olive6960]

YES

[@frhrutklllwppw124]

How is that became so normal to say that the're taking drugs and people think "oh, okay" Ayahuasca is a DRUG! Now she's addicted and her mental and physical health is degrading, doesn't matter if it's a natural drug or a synthetic one! You can clearly see that she's desperately trying to convince herself that she's okay through talks with the audience about the fact that it sounds like a cult but everything's fine and she's fine. AND look at that girl who was sitting opposite her in the video. Do you see her look? It screams "if you say something I don't like, there'll be consequences for you". Her "friend" is trying to look nice but you can see the dominance over Alyx when she's staring at her. AND excuse me! What is she healing from? What can you heal by taking entheogen and hallucinogen????
