Right vs. Easy

This is a very raw subject to talk about right now, but because the internet exists, it's hard to ask for privacy, but I can ask you guys for patience.
I believe I'm making the right decision and when I can talk about it in full sentences without crying, I will share the lessons I've learned and experience I've gained by having a wonderful, healing dog such as Ollie.
What I do love about our community though is the care and concern for Ollie's well-being. I assure you this is my #1 priority as well which is why she's going to find a family where her only parent isn't a traveling minstrel for a living. She's a wonderful baby dog who's had wonderful training and will live and long and happy life with a family that fits.
But yeah, I'm very sad about it. It's hard to talk about right now. But I promise I will.
Love,
Hannah

[@vlogbrothers]

Uuugggghhhh....You're great Hannah. This was a bad situation well-handled and I'm proud of you. Hug.

[@sarahpittman9321]

This should be a lesson to everyone to give people their privacy. It's heartbreaking that Hannah had to make this video because people couldn't leave well enough alone. I hope she knows that the majority of her audience loves and supports her regardless of tough decisions.

[@knightsam2989]

well said

[@DanFrederiksen]

+Sarah Pittman let's not get carried away. It's not really a big issue to give away a dog if you travel a lot. Worse things have happened. Maybe it's more emotions attached to the situation that she is feeling. Besides, if she hadn't mentioned it, I think 99% of her viewers wouldn't know. One fleeting tumblr post in the bit storm of the internet.

[@VampireAlice696]

+Dan Frederiksen That doesn't mean that people can talk about it openly or gossip or pass judgement on her for it, which is what she said. She's getting a lot of backlash for it from people who don't understand, and that's making this situation much more difficult and heartbreaking for her. Just because you know something - even if it was posted momentarily, or if it was mentioned briefly, or even if it was an accidental private-post-posted-publicly thing - until she decides to share it with us, it's her business, and we shouldn't be making assumptions or giving her a hard time. Just because she's doing the right thing doesn't mean it's easy for her, and just because she's a public figure doesn't mean she isn't a person with emotions that need to be processed, and she doesn't have to share anything with us if she doesn't want to. It isn't up to us when she shares anything, and it's extremely disrespectful of us to push it because it just isn't our business to push.

[@shirmeldanielle2161]

+Dan Frederiksen Don't presuppose that because you didn't know/hadn't heard that 99% of viewers fall in that category. I am not an avid tumblr user and I had seen the post at least eight times... with many speculating prior to the post about her whereabouts. And people where saying how disappointed they would be if she gave him up blah blah blah. So she unfortunately felt like she had to address it.

[@sarahberry4414]

I think another lesson here is that buying/adopting a doggie shouldn't be solely based on fleeting emotions. This should be a serious, well-thought-out decision. When we take animals into our homes, we are promising them that we will love them and care for them until death! I'm sad that it has come to this decision for Hannah & Ollie. I am happy she is taking the adoption process seriously and I can only hope Ollie doesn't feel any abandonment... And only feels security and love from his new family.

[@TheNeveFringe]

You're doing the right thing, Hannah. I hope Ollie will find a home as good as you have given her 💗

[@AmeliaBell28]

This looks like a comment but is actually a hug. Hannah, I hope you know how much we all love and support you. You make videos for us to watch. They are awesome videos. I'm here for you and your community value and your drunk cooking and your life advice. What you do with the 10,000-ish other minutes that you spend offline (or online, doing your own personal stuff) is your choice and it's your life, not ours. I hope that we can all remember in the future that KZbinrs are people who make videos for a job. Everything else is their choice. They do not owe us total, personal transparency. I'm proud of you for doing what's right, even though it isn't easy.

[@formerathlete7991]

+AmeliaBell28 I love that. It looks like she could really use the hug right now :)

[@miri64]

I would like to join that hug, because I can't find better words for that matter. Losijg a pet sucks, even if it is out of choice. But especially if one has to keep up with all the crap you need to deal with because you happen to be known by a few more people than the average human being.

[@0tabularasa0]

I was about to say something similar but I couldn't really put it better. Just love and hugs in what sounds like a really hard patch.

[@joycevanderheijden5673]

Nothing to add to this. A big, warm hug to you Hannah! Making decisions is tough but I believe that you have made the right one ♡

[@MRHERO-zl8nl]

+Joyce van der Heijden a big warm hug my eye!! more like a big SWIFT KICK in the booty!!!!

[@KimberlyZootHolmes]

I very, VERY, rarely comment on KZbin because I'm insecure (also...old) and afraid my words won't be right but I feel like I need to just offer you words of support. You add a lot of joy to the world, and it's hard to make decisions like you have had to make, even outside the public eye. People who judge you harshly for that are not part of the ripples of joy you create in your community and I hate that for you but know for every one person speaking negatively about you and your choice, there are dozens of us silent (and too insecure to speak up) who support you.

[@SteviAnn13]

Perfectly put!!! 👌🏼

[@Barribam]

🙌👍

[@littleowlgnome]

Yes!

[@pascalmader1934]

+Kimberly Zoot Holmes Could not have said it any better. Hannah you know we love you!

[@Affordable_Dry_Ice_Blasting]

Nice work and yeah, you're definitely right. Hannah might not know it but her demo really is across the board (late 20's married straight guy here). For any of the clowns who hate on her for making the tough decisions one has to take, it just shows how petty and insecure they really are themselves. Or self righteous and thats even worse. I surely hope she doesn't let this affect her more than it has already, as it's not a necessary part of being someone as well known as herself. There's a GIGANTIC population of people out there who love her(most importantly of course) and her content. And let's be honest, those are the only people who's opinion matters in this whole shebang(sp?). Amirite or amirite?

[@weepingwillow314]

hannah i hope you find ollie a good home, ik that there are lots of people who have the time and commitment for dogs and i hope everything goes well

[@nardeenfaris4350]

+Nardeen Faris i failed at basic grammar

[@riverblue]

It sucks you had to make this, and sucks you have to give up Ollie. I've been there; it's such a difficult decision to make and really, truly hurts. Tbh I'm not so sure I would've been able to be as polite as you if I had to post this; I admire the way you handle difficult situations such as this, as I'm sure most of your community does. Hope you're able to enjoy the remainder of your trip, Hannah!

[@megothefabulous]

+Alxs I don't think I would've been polite either! Bless Hannah's patient heart.

[@chelseahopeengland]

As someone who fund-raises, advocates and all that jazz for animal adoption, the way you're going about this and what you're doing for Ollie is the best thing you can do. You're giving her her best possible chance and making sure personally that she goes to a family or a person who has the time for a dog and will love her as much as you do. I hope the adoption process goes smoothly and you find the perfect home for Ollie. I'm just sorry this has been brought up before you're ready for it to brought up. You don't owe anyone any answers or an explanation, you have Ollie's best interests at heart and that is all that matters.

[@heatnicoleher]

Adopting Ol into a loving and stable homestead is not anything to be ashamed of! xo

[@allisonmacd]

I don't get why people are criticizing. Hannah's doing a good thing! Recognizing that right now she can't provide the stability that a dog needs must have been a terribly difficult conclusion to come to, but she's putting Ollie's well being first. Speaking as a PERSON who was once adopted, I can say that even though I'm sure it's painful, she is doing a good thing.

[@MiddleAgedNerd]

No judgements here; only hugs, and love, and more hugs.

[@MissHanake]

So much love for you Hannah, take all the time you need, hope you're okay xxx

[@bridgeerzz]

It makes me really sad that you have to talk about something that clearly makes you so upset. You are absolutely entitled to a private life. Sharing a little bit of your life with us online doesn't mean we're automatically entitled to every detail and every aspect of you. I know I'm just a stranger on the internet so this may not mean much, but in no way am I disappointed or upset or angry with you. I have all the confidence in the world in you and I trust your decisions. I know everything you do comes from a place of love and I commend you for making the right decision even if it was the hardest. You are so strong and I'm sending you allllll my love in this hard time. I know Ollie will find an amazing home and everything will work out in the end. I'm so sorry you are going through this, Hannah.

[@aditir1923]

+Bridget Rao Well said and I totally agree.

[@bridgeerzz]

Of course Hannah does what is best for Ollie, no matter how much it hurts her to do it. That's just what exceptional people like her do.

[@Chouetterargentee]

That life must be exhausting. Sending all calmest nicest thoughts to Hannah and Ollie. x

[@enmanems]

She is being responsible and selfless in doing this. I hope Ollie finds a great home. No judging. I love you, Hannah ❤

[@edenp.1123]

Dear Hannah This is none of our business and I don't understand why people feel like it's necessary for you to put your life on display. It's one thing to be part of the community and are inspired by you, but it's terrible that people are pressuring you into things you don't want to do. Just know that we care about you and you should do what's best for you and what's best for Ollie (and who or whatever else you have in your life) It's your life, not ours. Love u💟

[@KristenCorpse]

Damn the actions of part of this fanbase is disappointing. Wishing you and Ollie the best, Hannah.

[@johnbon6]

+KristenCorpse It's not just this one. Look at the CTFxC. The DLV. PVP for that matter. They all do it. I can somewhat understand. KZbinr fan bases have been burned in the past from people who used young female fanbases for sex (Milsom, Pepper), and now some KZbinrs are being investigated by the FTC for pushing products for money and not saying it was a promotion. They feel used, so they feel they have to sleuth things out. But they don't. it's people's private lives they're screwing with. People should really re-consider making a channel. It gets big, or a fanbase, they;ll screw you in the end.

[@lyssa210gaming9]

Hannah, I literally started clapping when you said "i'll go into more detail about this *when I want to*" because I was just so damn proud that you said that. You tell us when you want to or not at all because your private life is your *private* life and we have no right to invade it if you don't want us knowing.

[@abbydraper3934]

I'd adopt Ollie in a heartbeat. Anything to help someone who has impacted my life in so many ways.

[@sydh.8699]

Losing pets in any way is incredibly heartbreaking and I am so sorry.

[@bjkmurray]

Oh Hannah. It is ok. It IS the right decision. I'm sorry that you felt you had to talk about this publicly. I can't imagine criticizing you for taking care of Ollie. Before you said what you had to say, I felt like you were actually here, and I said, out loud "Oh Hannah, what's wrong?" My daughter thinks I am nuts. But you have my support, and, I am sure, the support of many others. Take care, sweet girl. It will be ok. I promise.

[@bjkmurray]

+medfailure (she thinks I am nuts for talking to a video and crying)

[@ivyarianrhod]

+medfailure I cried at the video, too. It's so hard to give up something you love, even though you know it's the right decision. And I can't believe people would criticize her for this. We all know that Hannah is a genuine, caring person, and only wants to do good.

[@LadyCynthiana]

Hannah, you are such a heartbreakingly beautiful human. I hope the BEST person comes along to take care of Ollie and that you both are happy.

[@samanthainthesummer]

I'm going to miss seeing Ollie in videos but you're being such a good person Hannah! As hard as it is, you want what is best for Ollie because you love her.

[@klabeck1097]

You are a kind and gentle woman, Hannah. Hugs for you and belly rubs for Ollie.

[@kohmsford2350]

Life. It sometimes suuuux. We give it our all because that's all we can give. Kudos to you, Hannah, for making such a painful decision (I've been there). Sorry you had to address it publicly before you were ready (or at all for that matter). *GROUP HUG*

[@rose-gd5hj]

Where has she been getting hate? I haven't read any negative comments.

[@TrueL16]

+rose i saw some fans on twtter saying there were really upset about this.

[@prmgirl93]

+rose I think it's mostly been on Twitter and Tumblr.

There's a lot of stuff on Instagram about it aswell

[@marli8907]

+prmgirl93 Tumblr...the root of most evil

[@cleodello]

+Marlissa Cunningham You know what I like about tumblr, though? You only have to see content from the people you follow. So it it can be as evil or as heavenly as you want it to be. Unlike on youtube, where you see everyone's negative comments.

[@LyeriaAurion]

You do so much traveling! and you love that dog so much, that putting her in a stable home is probably the best way you can express your love!

[@woodstock_brb7787]

I just wanna hug her :(

[@veronicavictorious4054]

+Sparkclan dont we all??

[@a3030927]

Hannah, you do what's right for Ollie and for you. The fact that you want to provide a stable and happy life for Ollie means that you are looking beyond yourself. Please stop beating yourself up. Some people are stupid and judgemental. And you're better than that. Don't feel you have to justify anything you have to do! Hugs!!! Xx

[@kferg4590]

How anyone could judge you for making an adult decision that benefits the welfare of a living being is beyond me. Ten years ago, I had to make a major move from one city to another and could not take my pets with me. It was one of the most difficult decisions of my adult life and one that still makes me tear up to this day. Giving our furry friends a stable life and not constantly having to board them or have a pet-sitter all of the time is one of the most humane things you can do. Hats off to you for making the difficult/right choice instead of the easy/selfish choice.

[@samimackay7052]

Hannah please don't feel like you have to share if you don't want to I am 100% sure that you've made the right decision keep smiling and know that she will find a loving home because you wouldn't allow her into anything less that a happy caring family

[@Emsgems613]

Hannah I'm so sorry 😢 I can tell through your videos how much Ollie means to you and I couldn't imagine what pain you're going through. Just always know your real Hartos will always be there to support you with everything you do. I know you'll find Ollie a good home but I'm so sorry for the pain this is causing you. I love you and I hope you'll be OK.

[@kimadl]

I am sorry Hannah.....your many feelings made my heart ache....you need all of the hugs. You are The only one on this very planet who can say what is best for your dog, period.

[@Whutupdoe1]

This is the most heart wrenching thing I have ever seen. You can see in her saddness and nervousness she tugged her ear till it was red. Some people are just awful and need to keep to themselves. I love you Hannah!

[@MarMar828]

How lucky someone else is to experience the love and joy that Ollie emits! The easiest decision is rarely the best one, you're so strong for making the decision as to what's right for everyone (be it animals or humans) involved. Your love for Ollie was so clear to everyone that watched your videos and such, she's only going to bring all of that love to a new family that is in a better position to care for her as much as I'm sure you want to.

[@123maddieme]

Hey Hannah, I'm so sorry that some people have been criticizing you for something as personal as this. As much as I know you love your community, I'm sure it must be hard to have your life constantly analyzed and looked at. So thank you so much for sticking with us, we do love you.

[@JennieKerfuffle]

From everything that I've seen of Hannah, I feel as if she's a very beautiful and kind person. I'm not sure why this topic became a big deal to some, but I don't remotely doubt that Hannah did not make the decision lightly. We're not her; we don't know the circumstances in which this became necessary. In parts of the world, animals are thrown out on the street and beaten and chased and have their limbs broken. I've witnessed it. So. Giving your dog to another loving family out of necessity is far from a problem worth shaming someone for. Just some food for thought.

[@mariannetfinches]

+Tolu Osi As a vet who has adopted dogs in the past and treats lots of adopted dogs, the kinds of people who choose to adopt a et rather than get a baby one are usually clear-thinking, well-meaning, and most go into it informed and experienced. They want to give that pet a new chance at a family, and most of the time it goes great. Plus, if Ollie's anything like my 2 monsters, she'll be in love with her new owners in no time at all (I often criticise their lack of loyalty, but the truth is that a dog who loves everyone can never be sad). It's a heartbreaking thing to have to do, but in most cases the end result for the dog is a happy home and that's all anyone wants.

[@missingshoefilms]

Realizing that you are not in a place where you can give Ollie all the care she deserves and finding the best home for her is a brave and tough decision to make. I have a deeper respect for you and know that you have my support as well as the thousands of others who love you.

[@sophiekelly9852]

I hope Ollie finds a home as loving as you are Hannah, I wish you both the best💚

[@girffrommars]

You are a wonderful person.

[@TitaniumSeraph]

You are showing an extreme amount of maturity about Ollie. You love that dog. We all know this. But you are doing what is best for Ollie and not yourself. That is the BEST kind of pet parent you can be. I've also had to go through this. Life changes. I'm sure there is someone genuine, like yourself, who will adopt her. People can be harsh about things they don't understand or people they don't actually know. You are a good spirit. It'll all work out.

[@MajickkShow]

Look your job as a "parent" is to see that she lives a happy and healthy life. That's what it seems You are doing and I am proud of you . I'm proud of you not only for putting her needs above your own wants but for being so patient with that portion of your "fan base" which might be a little bit more... well call it what it is some of them are nutters. Thank you for being so candid and for being a good role model.

Oh dear kind Hannah, you made the right decision. It is the best for Ollie's well being, you are really an adventurer/traveler, and this hard but good decision shows that you are also a very responsible dog (mommy) owner. It breaks my heart to see how deeply you are wounded by this. You did nothing wrong, I hope that you can enjoying your holiday to the fullest. Love&Support :)

[@danieldorable]

So much love to you. I hate that someone found this and exploited it. I know you're doing the right thing for yourself and for your dog. Don't let the ignorance of the Internet who knows nothing of your personal life drag you down. xo.

[@courtney2323]

Oh Hannah, Im sorry that there is all this extra weight from people who can't keep there nose out of their own business, on something we know is weighing heavy on your heart and its easy. I know that you can understand that it" comes with the territory" of a public figure, but its not fair and it sucks that you have to deal with the added pressure. I know that you will find Ollie a great home. Im hoping that people listen to your wishes about not applying for him just because he's your dog. I had to do something similar with my beautiful great dane. he bit my son. It wasn't a fun situation to be in, but we made the right one. You are doing the right thing and everything will work out. But most of us are positive and understanding, people can take their judgment elsewhere.

I feel bad for all the people out there giving her shit and trying to take him just because he is her dog and what a crappy fan to spread that link. How they find it I don't know but creep. They were probably a little kid who can't think about the consequences of their action. I hope so actually. I hope no adult "fan" did that.

[@MrMusicFunLover]

This video was very heartbreaking for me to watch. I saw the pain and struggle for you Hannah to not get emotional , while the topic was a very emotional one. Hearing that someone exploited something very private about you makes me extremely angry and sad. Goddamnit the privacy of public figures like you Hanna is non of anyones god damn business. Time heals wounds. I sent you all the love and light that the universe has to offer and wish you a wonderful lovely stay in England. Lots of love from Germany !!!

[@lacywithnoe]

I know how hard of a decision that can be but doing what's best for Ollie is definitely the right thing to do. I wish you and Ollie the best of luck finding a fun-filled, caring and stable new home for her.

[@Artbug]

You poor precious cinnamon bun! I'm so sorry you felt forced into making this video. This is painful to watch; It's a painful time for you, and now your channel and (some) fans that normally bring you joy has to be a point of anguish as well. You are obviously making the right choice, because no one else is living your life but you: no one truly knows what's going on, but you. Everything will work out in time.

[@Artbug]

People think they're just sharing their opinions and that since they have a thought in their head or a feeling in their gut that they're entitled to share it matter the consequence. They no longer realize that what they are doing has an effect on others. They don't realize it's harassment, because they see other people doing it, and they encourage each other to harass and bully. Internet mob justice is out of control. They need to remember that they're talking to a real human being. They need to stop and think for a moment: "would I say this to this person if they were right in front of me right this moment?"

[@beautybyamberrae]

Oh Hannah I am so sorry, not only for your situation but also because you had to film this. Bums me out that you have to make videos like this, especially when you're clearly upset about what you're going through. You ARE doing the right thing! Because whatever you feel like is best in your heart is going to be the right decision. Keep your chin up, never feel like you have to justify your actions and good luck finding some really awesome, loving people for your pup! xo

"You don't get the dog you want, you get the dog you need." (Caesar Milan) You got Ollie when you needed him. And now he can fill someone else's need. Your priority is what's best for Ollie. A lesser person would have different priorities. :-) ...there'll be another "Ollie" when the time is right.

Honestly, if people are being judgy about you trying to give oli a better life, it's only because they are ignorant. Hannah is busy as hell, and obviously she loves oli, that's why she is letting her go. Don't make this harder for Hannah... It's never easy to let a loved one go....

[@kristavaillancourt6313]

[@myrag3943]

Breaks my heart to see Hannah sad. every time. I don't think a more real person exists than Hannah Hart on KZbin, no offence to other KZbinrs. She is so real.

[@slashedbeauty]

You are doing the right thing, Hannah. I have grown up with pets my entire life, some we had to put up for adoption, and others lost from sickness... regardless of how they exit your life, it's never easy because they very quickly become family. But recognizing that someone else can give her a more stable life suitable for her needs is extremely selfless of you, and Ollie will be forever grateful for her time with you and your hard work in finding her forever home. If anything, maybe you can have your manager or a close friend do "prescreenings" to weed out people who are selfishly applying just to meet you. I hope you get through this hard time and stay positive. Remember, practice reckless optimism! We love you.

[@nikan5334]

It sucks that you have to feel so obliged to explain everything. You're 100% allowed to do whatever you want and to keep whatever you want private. Unfortunately people feel the need to discuss YOUR life decisions. But just so you know, you real fans love and support you no matter what :)

[@merylfabian7920]

Thats sucks that you have to give ollie up, love to adopt her but the timing for me is not good. Hope she gets a good family.

[@MargotVandersmissen]

From the moment I saw on twitter that you had put Ollie up for adoption, my thoughts went to how the fact that this was 'leaked' must have messed with your holiday and your general happiness, and I'm so sad to see that you had to make a video to make people stop talking to/about you :( I reallyreallyreally hope you feel better soon and I'm absolutely positive you handled this awful situation in the absolute best way possible and, basically, you rock and the world sucks.

I hate that Hannah feels like she HAS to explain herself. I mean good on her for doing so, but please don't feel that we as fans should dictate your life in future because I worry that you could end up with a life which you don't feel "you" in? Just passing thoughts. Sending love and good feelings your way Hannah, if it's what you feel is right, then it's the right thing. Xx

[@hippopajamas]

I am proud of you, Hannah, for making a decision for Ollie's well being, putting it above your own love for her. You are incredibly strong, and are doing the right thing.

[@marissasmith1346]

If you feel you need to do this. Then you're doing the best for Ollie and that makes you a perfect doggy mom

[@evaswain8495]

I know someone who stayed in contact with the person who adopted their dog and visited it on occasion, so that could be an option for you xx

[@ElizabethAndRusty]

That's sad that people can't let you live a personal life just because you entertain he public as a career. I don't follow KZbinrs honestly, so this is the first I'm hearing about your dog and I'm incredibly sorry, but also incredibly proud that you are strong enough to put her first. With that being said, I think the best home for her would be one with a family that doesn't know you. Someone who's never heard of Hannah Hart or My Drunk Kitchen. Maybe even someone who doesn't watch KZbin at all. Maybe then it would be a genuine home for Ollie. Best of luck to you and prayers for peace and sanity.

[@moordt]

Baby! Don't let it get to you! I can't imagine how life in the spotlights must be, but you're a human being. A human being with a life. A life which should be of yours and yours alone. I don't know you, but get this feeling from your videos. The feeling is that you're a nice and decent person, trying to do the best you can at life. (And you're sharing it with the world too!) Keep that in mind when you get judged, or rushed, or whatever. You know you make the best decisions you can, don't let anyone make you think otherwise. Don't let them rule your life. You know how to live your life best. They just need to look at themselves. I love what you do. And I love what I get to see from you as a person. Keep loving yourself and don't let yourself get confused by others. This must be so frustrating!?!?!! Even I feel it writing this. Lots of love, Marieke

[@moordt]

Oh, and hugs for you for losing a dear friend.

[@courtneywolfe7417]

You're being extremely selfless by doing what you're doing. I'm sure you were a great mama to Ollie, but you know what's best for her. It's admirable what you're doing. I hope whoever adopts her gives her a wonderful home.

[@spadutie]

No judgements here. Life happens and situations change. Chin up! You continue to be a great person and your desire to give your pet the unconditional love and attention it deserves is one of many testaments to that fact. 😘

[@thewinterizzy]

I...had...absolutely no idea any of this was happening. Wow. I'm so sorry, Hannah; for having to make such a difficult decision in both putting Ollie up for adoption and now needing to address it publicly, as well as I feel a need to apologize for the general shittiness of those who can't respect personal space. I really hope it's just a really vocal 1%, versus the vast majority of those who are respectful and kindhearted. I don't know what else to say, other than that my thoughts are with you. I'm sorry you're having a rough time and I'm sorry it's in part because of some people in the community. Keep your chin up, even though it's hard. Much love, and all the best. xx.

[@xoAliBee]

Hannah, I am so sorry that 1. You've had to go through the process of making this difficult and painful decision and 2. That you were forced to publicly share it before you were ready. I can only imagine how hard it must be. I know my opinion on your decision doesn't matter and quite frankly, your opinion is the only one that matters, but in case you need some comfort, I think you've made a very wise, difficult and RIGHT decision. Obviously, I don't fully know the situation, but I do know that you love your dog and trust that you put a lot of time and thought into this decision and trust that it's the right one for your and your pup. Again, I'm so sorry you are going through this and I fully support you in whatever it is you do. I love how witty and strong you are. You are such a role model to so many of us, Hannah. Thinking of you during this difficult time!

[@turningpaintopower]

What on earth? This video has made me sad, not just for the fact you felt you had to address this Hannah..but because it's none of our fucking business. You're on holiday, should be enjoying your time away and instead you've felt the need to do this video. I feel bad and I've not contributed to the debate. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this, but I was disgusted at some of the things said. People who watch youtubers seem to forget that you're not perfect, you're a human and things happen. Also, that just because someone makes KZbin videos doesn't mean members of that community deserve answers to everything about aspects of their lives. I've seen this a lot lately with other people I watch. We cannot judge you when we don't know your life outside of KZbin or the reasons behind such things happening and when you promote no judging, you'd think our community would be better..especially when the things being commented on are not fact, they were purely speculation and none of our business, like I previously said. I know you probably won't even see this, but I just want you to know that I never for one second thought anything bad, you only ever convey understanding, empathy and kindness. I'm sorry you didn't get that off people on this occasion xx

[@lucyl4803]

I agree!

[@20tw3ntee]

Well said.

[@killhannaah]

+Sofia Jayne I agree, too. Well said!

[@HopefulLadie]

I completely agree! you do you Hannah! thank you for everything you do

[@yeahthatkels]

exactly the childishness has to stop like seriously who are they to direct the lives of other people. Hannah says "I made this because I have to ' no she doesn't have to do anything ! she should have made one saying f all of you and mind your freaking business!

[@LynneSkysong]

You're making the right choice Hannah, what's best for you and for Ollie. And it's not an easy one, but the right things to do in life often aren't. *hugs*

[@hannahburton1530]

Hannah, I love you and support you and wish you and Ollie the very best

[@GEASTYNESS01]

It frustrates me that she had to make a video about this. Like why can't people just stay out of her personal business?! If she wants to say something about it, then she will, but emotional situations like this are no time to be haggling her for information. Actually, she shouldn't be haggled about ANYTHING regarding her personal life. Just because she gives us glimpses of her life doesn't mean that we have a right to her personal information. And this video was just painful to watch because you can tell how sad she is about this. Hannah, if you happen to read this out of the large amount of comments that this video is sure to receive, ignore those who are jumping on you about this and take care of the situation how you need to. You're doing the right thing. We all love you and want you to live your life the way that's right for YOU. So please feel better and take the time you need to process everything. I'm sending so many virtual hugs your way!

[@MentallyFive]

Hannah, I'm so sorry that someone thought it was okay to publicly share something that you hadn't told us yet. You tell us everything you can & they should've know that since you hadn't talked about it, that it was private. & putting a pet up for adoption is more than just giving away an animal. It's like loosing a family member & best friend. It's a very hard & emotional thing to do. You have to be strong through it & I know you are. But this had to be so painful to hear from people as having to give Ollie away is painful enough. How can someone not see that this is obviously a hard thing for you or anyone to do? & now you're being forced to talk about it? It's horrible. Some people have no common sense or decency to respect someone's privacy. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this publicly as I'm sure it was hard enough to do it by yourself. Please, Hannah, take your time. Don't try to explain to us soon or even at all. This video was more than enough of an explanation.

[@MentallyFive]

Just know that we all love you so much and if there's anything you need us to do, we will. Always remember to take sometime to yourself, Hannah. Whenever you need it. We'll still be here supporting you in all you do when you get back. Love you, Harto.

[@helko1]

I've always admired Hannah, I don't know where she stands on a political spectrum but she's always come across like a genuinely good person, very insightful, wise and good with reasoning. I feel bad that she feels this way, and it's certain elements of the fanbase that are the cause of this. A lot of people are saying it was a tumblr user (no fucking surprise there) and then a twitter stalker mob of some sort. And to be honest it just sucks. In this moment Hannah is/was deciding between what is best for her and what is best for Ollie. Notice how there's only two parties i mentioned, it just sucks that people felt the need to get involved. I feel like going on a rant about tumblr because it breeds the most narcissistic egotistical self-entitled types of people but I'll leave it at that. This whole thing just sucks a lot and I know that it comes with being a public figure but you would expect people that follow Hannah not to do things like this.

[@sophiaclark3948]

You're wrong it was an Instagram user and I already apologized and go ahead tell me to go to hell for my stupid mistake. Everyone else has. It was not for attention it was just stupid and ignorant. I know what tumblr user they're blaming and PLEASE STOP SHE DIDNT DO IT I DID PUNISH ME NOT HER GODDAMNIT -Princess Hartbig pleading guilty as charged

[@helko1]

I don't really wish any ill will to you (if it was you, or you're a supporter of the person or whatever). Regardless of who it was, it's clear this manifested itself from a certain type of following, and those that got involved also share similar characteristics. It's no fault of their own but the culture they're part of. As I said, I wouldn't expect this from this particular fanbase, I'm just expressing disappointment rather than a call to arms. Please don't assume you know my motives for speaking out unless I explicitly mention it. Seeing as you did though, I don't suspect it was you. Take your sense of being a martyr somewhere else please.

[@sophiaclark3948]

+helko1 no I assume that because of the hell that filled my DM box yesterday to the point I refuse to open DM ever again. I'm not a martyr, but I see how you think that. This didn't start as a ploy for attention like you want to believe to justify your apparent views against tumblr. It began as a conversation between 6 13-19 year olds about a dog that escaped onto the Internet and then escalated. Sorry to burst your bubble with honesty

[@sophiaclark3948]

+Sophia Clark if I could undo all of this I would

[@helko1]

Sophia Clark You're not disproving my point at all and nowhere did I mention attention seeking at all. You seem to be projecting. You receive death threats and assume that everyone against this action has the same view of wanting you dead. You literally reworded your point yet still made the assumption of my view based on what you've seen in your DM. Like I said, do not assume my motives. I don't want anyone dead or to burn or whatever stupid illogical emotional response you can think off. Regardless '6 13-19 year olds' having a conversation about a situation that does not really concern them at all further cements my case of tumblr breeding the most narcissistic egotistical self entitled types of people. The bubble never existed, it was a truth which you are a part off yet still try to deny despite your your actions mirroring said characteristics I mentioned.

[@baileyrummler]

I love you, Hannah! I'm proud of you for making hard adult choices and for thinking of Ollie ahead of yourself! I'm sorry that you feel so crummy about it!

[@MissCarMil]

It's clear to me that the love is there, but the time isn't, and Hannah made the hard but responsible choice. Keep soldering on, Hannah! I'm sending good vibes to you and Ollie.

[@emmaclay9881]

Really disappointed in this fandom. We need to give Hannah space and let her tell us things when see feels comfortable.

[@desereenicole6374]

Or not at all. Sense it's not really our business. We don't need every detail of her life.

[@IttBeeMee]

You should call the tumblr user out that started all this mess. As Tyler Oakley would say tag and drag

[@alexyasha]

+IttBeeMee that wouldn't be the right thing to do. This video does speak pretty directly towards the person who started it, but she doesn't mention any names. If they're a fan, they're watching this and they should know that they hurt her feelings. And anyone who shared it on tumblr should know they weren't helping the situation.

[@QueenJaneway]

+IttBeeMee Does she have a tumblr stalker or something? How could anyone know about this and possibly "leak" it? I feel so sorry for Hannah.. man.. ;____;

[@IttBeeMee]

I was kidding she definitely shouldn't tag and drag. Tumbler users think there is no limit with people's privacy. Everyone up there is really nosy so they find out everything before they should

[@deaaqua86]

+Frida B Hannah put Ollie up for adoption on the website Petfinder and someone found the posting and shared it with others. The posting has since been taken down.

[@PaolaTheTimeLord]

Can you tell me what exactly happened? Because I am so confused and I haven't been keeping up with things like this lately

[@cardee07]

This makes me really angry and so...just sad. I'm sorry that you are going through this, Hannah. It's hard enough making a decision like that in private let alone having it blasted all over the internet to be judged and commented on and picked apart. It's just baffling to me that people feel entitled to the most intimate and private moments of your life. That isn't fair. I hope you can take even just a little bit of comfort in the fact that there are far more of us who support you and who would never judge you on your personal life than there are heartless dickbags who brought this upon you. We know how much you love Ollie and all that love will translate into finding her the absolute perfect home. I know you wouldn't settle for anything less. Love.

[@JeGigote]

Hannah, please do what's best for you and for Ollie. That is what is most important to us fans--that you are happy and healthy and that you are able to give a happy and healthy life to the beings (people AND animals) in your life. We love you, we support you and we hope that you are able to find Ollie as wonderful home as you have been for her. Be well and enjoy your vacation!

[@cadavereye]

I'm so sorry that anyone forgets that our content creators are people. I hope Ollie finds all the joy she brought to our Harto, and then some, wherever she may go.
