No offence Daniel, but you should really stop saying “this is my last video on Onision” every time you cover him. We all know the endless trail of stupidity from him will never end! 😂😂
Yeah I was watching one of those karma meditation videos to shield my enemies from stalking me then I turn it off and now Onision is finally getting sued?
"Sui juris" is the legal term for "in one's own right", meaning that Regina is filing it of her own volition and is not under any guardianship. Pretty much she is of legal age at the time of this lawsuit.
@@tiptoethroughthetulips984 it does involve children, if you’re going off the definition. adults can be manipulated and coerced just as easily, but I think the word itself is for a specific group. im so sorry that happened to you, by the way. i hope you were able to heal from it after the fact
@@tiptoethroughthetulips984 While it is identical in concept, the term grooming is minor-specific in order to specify preying on that age range of people.
@@tiptoethroughthetulips984 the term grooming is only meant for minors, however similar methods can by applied to adults. It’s just for adults we label it as manipulation, gas lighting, brainwashing, ect ect. I’m really sorry that happened to you and I hope you can get help
My guy, I remember watching your videos when I was like 16 years old and here I am 13 years later and there is STILL new Onision stuff happening. Blows my mind lmao
@@snowgrave2475 Welcome to the state of Internet where by identifying that you're SnowGrave you become a SnowGrave with that human being you were controlling at some point
@@gurunext fun fact, the move SnowGrave is just the move Sheer Cold from pokemon, killing anything you hit it with instantly, albeit being VERY inaccurate.
i remember i was 12 years old, binge watching onisions videos and seeing him tell young girls they should lose weight cause their love handles are too big. he would tell girls who werent overweight that they were fat and should go vegan.i started comparing myself to these girls and wondering if onision would find me attractive so i posted a picture of myself on his forum and he put me in his video and just made fun of me. i tried to go vegan and thats honestly when my ED started. i wish this never happened and that onision never existed.
I did the exact same thing too. not fun. was literally just talking to my friend the other day about how we felt groomed by onision through youtube and all of his videos. he new how to draw people in. I went vegetarian also developed an ED.
I'm sorry you went through that. Unfortunately being young also means that there are people who are waiting to take advantage of you, in whatever way that may be.... For Onionboy, it's some sick pleasure of breaking down women. Vulnerable young women, because a mature one would have busted his nuts ages ago. I hope you were able to recover your self-esteem and confidence, as well as your health.
I must say, I love how Greg is so god damned arrogant and ignorantly thinks that going vegan automatically makes you thinner or something. I'm sorry that happened to you, he's a loathsome douchebag
@@MeiMei... I think it's so much worse than 'breaking women down'. I think he gets off on 'impregnating women's minds' with his toxicity. He's inside those poor girls in ways that an embryo can't even reach. He's not gloating that he made a girl cry, he's enjoying that she won't forget what he said for a long time (allegedly).
@@DaisyAjay Well that too. I imagine there's layers to sick fucks like this.... one of my exes resembles Onionboy so closely that it actually terrified me when I realized it. At least he wasn't on Onionboy's level, that's the only mildly positive thing I'll ever say about that fucker. Anyway, people like that are pathetic cowards. It's why they prey on the weak and vulnerable.
Onision's rap sheet is such a blast from the past. It's easy to forget how much of a monster he was since he got banned, but it really blows my mind how little RUclips ever did to him. They're happy to fuck random people over nowadays, but it took them YEARS to finally boot Onision...
That's the bit that might stick. If they go through all the available stuff both of them said/did in videos, all Onion's stuff others covered and all the complaints RUclips got yet did nothing about until years after he was losing relevance and likely no longer making them good money, they just might have a case to answer. Depends on how strict the court chooses to be. Because I can imagine RUclips: "YT gets 1B videos loaded a day, we can't keep track of it all". But years of complaints about him and all his false copyright claims staff manually overturned will show up somewhere.
Is it true he bought shares in youtube early, so that gave him some sort of protection? I remember hearing that at some stage over the past few years, but no idea if true or not
There were actually several hundred videos (some by popular content creators, such as Blaire White, MrRepzion, Repzilla, Edwin's Generation, and iNabber) dedicated to calling him out. I actually ran a blog about him (OnisionHurtsPeople on Tumblr) for (roughly) a decade. His videos also got reported hundreds of times. I reported some of them myself; and I've seen other commenters say the same. There's absolutely no way that they didn't know about this. I suspect that they just didn't bother doing anything about him because he made them money. He ultimately only got banned (temporarily) because Chris Hansen made them look bad. 🙁 (Although he has since been un-banned). There's just no point in covering his bad behavior anymore.
$ That’s why YT kept him around. That’s why YT let’s content farms stay on their platform even though they violate so many of TY’s terms of service. It’s makes them tons of money. Those rules only apply to those who don’t make YT a lot of $.
@@caitfitz8029 I don’t know about buying shares, I think if he’d bought shares he’d be wealthier 🤷🏻♀️ - what he definitely did was join the RUclips partnership program EARLY, I think he was among the first and the deal was different back then In the very beginning RUclips partners got much more preferential treatment, it’s 5am rn and I can’t recall the details but yeah
@thefeathered amigos He was aggressive. Pushed his sister off the sofa when she was a baby. Greg and his wife made a big deal when the latest babysitter tapped him on the butt in shock at what happened. They never spent time with the kids
@thefeathered amigos His daughter (C) also fell out of a window and cracked her skull open. And before he called 9-1-1, he actually filmed her on the ground. And then, while she was in the hospital with brain damage, he was making tweets about humiliating someone beside a window. He's trash. 🗑 Edit: their son (T) has spit in Lainey/Kais' face; and he also pushed C off the couch.
I don't even want to imagine how fucked up that household is to be a part of, especially as a small child. The possibilities are endless, and they are all disgusting and horrifying
I feel if anyone is really going to catch legal heat from this, it'll be Lucas/Kai/Lainey ect. There's definitive proof of sending and receiving things from a minor, not looking good for them
Yeah I’ve heard someone make the point before that Kai/Lainey/etc. will be what gets Onision caught. Greg/James knows how to do this stuff and largely slink away from the law, but since Lainey was originally a victim of his, they don’t know how to groom people as well as Greg himself does lol. It’s almost like having a henchman below you who’s meant to help but due to their own incompetency they end up making things worse Now of course I’m really glad that Lainey was overt enough with the grooming to be caught with irrefutable evidence, and they weren’t that bad of a ‘henchman’ seeing as they still got minors involved in Greg’s web, but you get what I mean (hopefully lol)
Shrek isn't stupid, he just likes to pretend he is. He used his spouse as a shield, knowing that if anything did come to light, his spouse would take most of the heat.
I suspect that his plan was to throw Taylor/Lainey/Lucas/Eli/Kai under the bus that whole time. That's why he pressured them to pursue relationships that they didn't even want (Billie) so that he (Greg) could benefit from it.
As a child of a Vet, Onision misleading people about his military career has always been a huge point of contention. He knowingly conflates an honorable discharge to a general discharge under honorable conditions. It's NOT a dishonorable discharge by any means, but it does mean that his conduct during service wasn't the best.
I don't know how it is in America but doesn't discharge under honorable conditions mean you didnt break any major rules/laws? It's literally the standard discharge in the services or am I missing something? Honorable discharge means you have a good record whilst being there. General discharge under honorable conditions means you weren't kicked out for doing something majorly wrong. At least that's how it was described to me in England so I don't know how it is in America.
@@Subarashii_Nem Basically the way it works here is that everyone gets an honorable discharge. A general discharge is more in the middle. Sure, you did your job, but your conduct wasn't great (even if you didn't necessarily break any rules). Think of it as like the equivalent of getting a D or D+ in US public schools. You passed, but only by the skin of your teeth. As far as benefits go, you're still entitled to them with the exception of education benefits.
He actually stripped naked in his military boss's office. I don't think that's "honorable". 🤔 Edit: He did this after less than 6 weeks in the military, incidentally. But he still wants people to "thank him for his service", even though he never served. He's also made videos where he was dressed up in a military uniform. Allegedly.
Well, it's been a very long time coming but at last, Greg is going to have to stand up & either lie under oath or tell the truth & face the consequences. I shall be following this closely with great interest! Thanks for covering this topic, Repzion.
I hope he is proven to have lied at the deposition and all the people who despise him contact the court so they know he lied under oath and demand they do something about it.
My heart breaks for these girls. Especially Sarah who took a stand and surrendered her laptop only for all that to go wrong and Shi, who shouldn’t have ever have been subjected to such degrading abuse.
Yes and now Onision needs to receive 10 times more degrading abuse and be deleted from RUclips AND go to jail AND never have ability to redeem himself... AND everyone knows his "relationship story" AND he has a family he wants to take care of AND he seems sane recently and pretty resentful of all this drama AND get more subscribers and solve more puzzles before posting comments about Heartbreak 👍
I gotta say, I'm glad that Kai is also involved and being held responsible. It's taken too long. But at least we're finally here. I'll be watching and waiting to see how this goes eagerly. In light of this news coming out I hope the victims are okay 💙 sending them love 💙
Christmas came really early this year! Even if Regina doesn’t win, the fact that this lawsuit was filed and Greg and Lainey will have to defend their actions is a win in my book. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can’t wait to see what happens!
I posted a selfie on Onisions forum when I was 14 or 15 and it still freaks me out to this day. He truly prayed on young girls who didn’t know any better. I am so sorry to anyone who ended up in his videos.
It's not really about knowing any better. It's more to do with critical thinking skills and the ability to discern reality from internet bullshit. About the same age and all the boys in my class seemed to be able to peg him for a piece of shit but the girls were oblivious as fuck to it even after we pointed it out. I still don't understand as an adult how girls could be so utterly blind.
@@isThreeman I’m no expert so take what I say with a pretty big grain of salt, but it truly feels like girls in their teens and pre-teens are a lot more susceptible to manipulation from people like Onision. Maybe it’s a societal thing conditioning them. Maybe it’s just they care what a “celebrity” thinks. Maybe they just think he’s attractive and therefore can do no wrong. I really couldn’t tell you. All I can say is that pre-teen and teenage girls tend to fall victim to manipulation a lot easier, and predators know how to exploit this and use it to their advantage. It’s why they always target that demographic.
@@isThreeman Often, at least for me, it was the constantly feeling unloved by my parents and bullied at school. Once a cool older person especially an adult shows interest in you as a child with abysmal self-esteem, it's like a drug to you. Finally, your knight in shining armor to whisk you away and give you the life and love you've always dreamed of. Then they discard you like yesterdays' trash and you don't know what just happened because you felt so special to them not long ago. I was even re-"groomed" at 24 and it felt like a super magnet was pulling me into the direction of an oncoming train. At that age, I could finally see what was happening but I felt powerless to change course.
@@odoplaydead5012 When I was in Middle school I know my friends and I all loved him and Shane Dawson because they had a more edgy emo/scene look and were just 'edgy' with their humor too. At the time it was like, "omg they are so different and cool!" We were from a small town so seeing guys like that was different and exciting. Looking back on it now I cringe at myself.
I remember watching your videos over the years and you constantly pointed out to RUclips how wrong all these things were and how he needed to be stopped, and it was continually ignored for so long. They really should be held accountable as well.
I actually reported some of his videos myself. I know of several other people who did, too; and I can count several different RUclipsrs who covered his behavior within the past decade (Repzion, Repzilla, Edwin's Generation, iNabber and several others). In my opinion, they just simply don't care because he's making them money. 😞
Most think U Tube will cover there arses and his is B.S deep beyond boots! People should have been reporting him all along, paper trail always wins. But i hope all parties go down for what they done and gotten away with.
@@Nightfighter82 When Onion Bitch started, being hated or pissing people off was the only way he’d ever get attention to his channel and profit off of it. He can’t profit off of it anymore through anything that isn’t OnlyFans, but he finds ways to get people to despise him and thrive off of it to stay relevant or notorious. Its possible to make a career off of offending people or being hated, but when you land in legal trouble or start hurting other people? Well, that’s when things go from bad to worse.
In my opinion, he actually (allegedly) starts drama on purpose in order to get people to respond to him. Edit: He's done this with Repzion, Cyr, and he also tried to do it with Shiloh and Billie - and Ayalla (best friend of Billie) and Sarah, to a lesser extent). He even did this once with his own parents (his Mother, Tammi). He has also made accusations against his Father (I can't remember why - I believe that he accused him of being a ped*phile.)
I was a fan of him back when I was a teen, crazy how he normalized abuse and solidified my beliefs that it was ok to have a romantic partner who is older and controlling, my first two bfs were predators, I was 15 with a 19 year old, and 17 with a 21 year old, I’m autistic and I used to be very naive and gullible and I thought I was mature, I wish things could have been different, they stole my innocence and firsts, I wish I could go back in time and keep adult men away from me 😭 girls, here’s your reminder, you are not just mature, he’s a predator/pedo
God I wish this lawsuit would be against RUclips as well. Have YT lawyers just standing there like clowns having to answer questions like "How did you people ignore MULTIPLE, DOZENS, ect. of complaints of this person/persons over and over?!" I just WANT YT to fix their faces and throw a reply at it.
Actually this _does_ involve youtube as well. Half of these complaints are directed at YT specifically because all this was essentially sanctioned by them. This could be really big for everyone involved.
@@SerafinaP I want it so bad. Mini Ladd amongst a metric ton of other RUclipsrs that have blatant proof of their crimes are still on here... But YT swiftly demonize and ban so many accounts for less and I cannot emphasize LESS enough.
@@MeiMei... I hope so. There's hundreds of people thay shouldn't be on this platform anymore for the abuse of the system. Just looking into the main people that for a fact did wrong and used YT as their way (i.e. scams, literally anything with minors, ect.) this SHOULD hopefully open up more cases of why YT casually looked the other way in way too many instances to count.
@Enki1013 The best example of your comment is Actman. Look at how fast they NUKED him for pointing out how YT failed at keeping up with their OWN rules and giudelines. Right when the talk of a "second ad-pocalypse" starting getting traction Actman was re-monetized. Of course the thing that gets RUclipss automatic and immediate attention is money.
Kai, you can change your name all you want, but you can never run from your past! Name changing will never save you from what you did! I hope that they both get the book thrown at them!
Honestly im fine with it Kai was a really stupid fake name picked by someone who (in my opinion) was starving for attention during the early days of their transition At least Lucas is a name someone in an english speaking nation could actually have
If the name Kai doesn't tell you anything 🙄 it changed its name and gender because it was getting too old to be an attractive "girl", so it cashed in on the Yaoi/Space Prince/softboi trend to appeal to underage girls again. I'd bet like a hundred dollars that if its convicted, it's suddenly going to be a woman again. Probably a "poor abused" woman. I just hope its kids make it out relatively okay.
The true shame is that both Greg and Kai or whatever they call themselves will probably never face criminal prosecution for the planned and researched crimes they committed. This is just one person suing another. This does however make Greg and Kai give a deposition and it will be under oath with penalty of perjury so if they try to lie they can be charged with a crime. Let’s hope those scumbags are dumb enough to try.
Theres documentation and a long history. When there's an investigation they wait years in order to build a stack of evidence against the person. Fools rush in. Thats why its taken so long to get Andrew Tate and R Kelly. They have a pattern of behavior documented over years instead of one time crimes. He'll be prosecuted and face consequences this time. Theres 2 state law firms going after him. Also they're dragging YT, a large corporation , they'll have to take it seriously because they dont want to lose money
@@huronheron6274 I mean to his credit he does research the law enough so he just is safe enough. Yes he has done stupid stuff but usually knows more or less how to draw the line from criminal (except on his taxes apparently..)
@@LokiTheClever traveling to another state to have sex with a minor is illegal I believe, and he did it TWICE to two seperate girls (Shiloh and Taylor (at the time)) that we know of. Violates the Mann act I think. The problem is that noone knew that this was a law and whatever statutes of limitations were in place had long expired when it was discovered. Greg is good at covering his tracks. He didn't really broadcast that he was leaving the state, expect for that one video he uploaded of him bitching about hitting a deer on his way to Mann Act Shiloh in Pennsylvania and the only one who might catch the most heat would be his wife for sending and recieving nudes from minors.
I was in law school when all of this started. Now I'm a lawyer and this could not be more exciting. I hope she wins. Glad she sued google and youtube too.
It's even funnier when you know even LAINEY isn't their original name. I believe it was Taylor. My dude changed their name for almost everytime Greg was creepy to a minor.
As a teen, youtube ABSOLUTELY suggested Onision to me. For a minute, I was sucked in as well. I was lucky enough to figure out what was happening without being victimized by him or his followers. Do I smell a class action? Only 20 people needed to get started.
That happens with people discovering themselves and what names goes best. I have two acquaintances with trans and gender exploring kids who have changed their names 2 and 4 times.
@@JamaicanRain yeah sure and it's just a coincidence she "discovered" herself and changed her name again right after people online found out where she was working and got her fired 😂
CPS in Washington is extremely incompetent (remember Josh Powell and what he did to his boys? CPS allowed him to do that) so I'm not surprised they didn't do anything about Onion recording his daughter after she fell
This platform seriously needs competition. I'd give anything for a site to compete with RUclips. Welcomes content creators with open arms and doesn't demonetize it's creators for stupid reasons.
To see those words is pure bliss. He has needed to answer for what he did and up to now has gotten away with it. I pray he doesn't weasel his way out of this one.
I don't think he can lol. These are some really solid allegations that are supported by a shit ton of well-documented evidence. I can't even imagine how he could fight this when most of the evidence was posted by himself to begin with.
As an internet lurker for years, having followed Onision for years starting off as a fan watching all of his videos (I was like 13 im 26 now) to having his weird kombucha breakdown, to “it’s Chris Hansen”, this is amazing. I’ve followed anything in him for years and it’s about time something finally happened.
The trafficking charge may stick regardless of Regina never actually getting to Washington Attempted Murder is a perfect example of “just because you didn’t manage to commit the crime doesn’t mean you didn’t TRY to and hurt people in the process”
PRAISE THE FUCKING SUN, FINALLY I never thought I'd see the day that Onion and Taylor would face justice for their countless crimes. I constantly had that nagging thought in my head that they got away with this shit, and it's music to my ears that they'll finally get what's coming to them. This is genuinely one of the happiest days of my life!
I was one of those young teens (14 at the time) who was easily influenced by the "am I pretty or hot?" style videos, and submitted a photo of myself for the video where he ranked girls who'd been dress coded with "Onision" written across my cleavage and got featured as the "winner". Needles to say, the school was absolutely correct to dress code me for the top as it was a low cut sweetheart neckline and again, I was 14.
@@Onewingerdraven I, personally, am very happy to see this happening. What happened to me was in the long run benign, but I know it went so much further with others. Looking back it honestly disturbs me how easily I fell for it. Of course I knew the whole "don't talk to stranger on the internet ect" speel, but somehow he made us young girls feel safe enough to do it. It was disgusting.
it's crazy to see how far this has come since me believing he was the "most honest youtuber" while letting him destroy my body image. hopefully he's finally gonna start getting the consequences he deserves
Literally I remember being 14 and being recommended onisions videos, specifically the ones where he’d talk about comparing girls bodies and which one looked better. And I realized that right before you read the line in the complain #18, it’s crazy because that’s so true
It’s honestly a shame YT can’t or isn’t being held liable for the role they played in boosting Greg’s channel and career based solely on watch times and rates, because people were reporting him the first day he started uploading pics of underage girls in their underwear and YT continued to boost his content. So many people overlook YT’s complete knowledge of Greg’s actions and choosing to do nothing for a long long time.
When I was 14, I wasn’t allowed on the computer, and didn’t care because I just went over to friends’ houses and they came over and we were taken places.
@@jakejonas7366 seriously! I hope they win against youtube and onision because it’s crazy looking back on it, how many times his content showed up on my feed and I was literally 14! I was so insecure with myself at the time and I thought getting advice from a guy online was gonna help me feel better!! RUclips knew that’s how underage girls were thinking and continued to recommend his videos to me up until I was 16 and lost interest. It really is fucked up
I'm also glad that Lainey/Kai features a lot in this. I've seen too many Onision documentaries which paint Lainey/Kai from the perspective that they had no idea what they were doing and Onision was the puppet master when there's this entire laundry list of sexual crap they've done. Even if Onision was taken out of the picture, I'm not convinced Lainey/Kai wouldn't be a danger to minors, so I'm glad it's not being swept under the rug here. I hope they BOTH go down.
It also took a Discovery+ documentary and an additional 2 years for there to be a real legal case…. All I’m gonna say is it’s about frickin time cause the lack of legal action had me believing it was nothing but internet drama between exes (I never knew about Regina)
I hope onision gets a lawyer so he doesn't fuck up discovery and gets charged with contempt for court or manages a mistrial somehow. I want him tried to the fullest extent in the most ironclad way
let's not forget Kai is also a pedophile, who keeps running away whenever people ask it (not "he", not "she", not "them", but IT!) for its side of the story
I was an Onision fan when I was 12-13. The things he said about other people's bodies made me feel like absolute shit about my own. I soon developed an E.D, and I really feel that what he said definitely propelled that. The way he portrays himself as "just honest" can really fuck with someone who's 12/13 and very impressionable. Looking back it's silly now, but when you're that age it can affect you so much.
It’s crazy, I totally understand the argument they’re making in court. I’m 24, so I was a young teen around the time onision was popular and at one point I was a actually a fan of his. It wasn’t until I started watching your videos at the time that was able to see just how fucked of a person he was. then it was just entertaining watching his complete down fall and all the drama that came from it but I’m even happier now that it seems he’s actually going to face consequences for his actions. he definitely deserves it.
Please be kind to them, they are absolutely being groomed/coerced by someone. I remember being a kid and wanting Onision to pick me, and I'm literally a lesbian! Its all about normalization and manipulation.
Btw, looking at the fact that Onision has likely known that this lawsuit has been in the works for some time, it really begins to make sense on why he was calling himself “Johnny Depp” a few months ago, and trying to re-kindle the non-existent fire under his claims that Sarah “R”aepe’d
ok but im highkey terrified google and youtube are being dragged into this bc what if they get such good lawyers tehy leave an easy win for the onion man and his spouse
So this is not a Criminal Suit (seeking jail time), it's a Monetary one seeking 150k usd in damages and lawyer fees. Good luck in getting any $$$ off of his broke a** unless youtube is paying
I remember him doing the rating videos, I wanted to participate in it, but I was over weight, so I never did. The idea of being noticed or even meet up with a big youtuber like Onision back in the day huge. I am glad more people are talking about the grooming situation back mid 2000's
This is why lawyers are important. They can pull up a near infinite number of laws that were broken in a complicated and fucked up situation like this. Also while calling out RUclips for their negligence in all of this.
I'm curious to see how this lawsuit goes. Maybe his victims will get some actual justice this time, even if it's just a few of them. Them also suing RUclips for being complacent makes sense, too.
FCC regulations claim that trafficking includes SENDING PHOTOS to minors, enticing minors to send photos, etc. I think you covered this afteri started typing - bad keyboard. I hope Sarah, Billlie, and Shilo (II think that was the other one) are able to add their names to the suit. They should be able to, if my paralegal training is still valid. That family needs something done to them.
Onision is only being sued?! When do we get to hear the part where he actually goes to prison for grooming his victims that he and his wife participated in?
How is it a "Federal" lawsuit if it says it is a civil lawsuit filed in Florida Court? Sounds just as it says: a civil damages lawsuit. She's bypassing a criminal case because it went nowhere as we all remember. Sadly DASs don't push this type of case and they are notoriously hard to prosecute. It's actually a terrific idea. Usually it goes the other way around, but if they file in civil court and get that evidence on record, and they win, that could prompt a criminal case. That would be so awesome. Fingers crossed. In my opinion, they should sue Google for failing to take appropriate action. THAT would be justice and, of course, she'd be guaranteed to get money damages. I doubt she'll get much from Greg if she wins.
You beat me to it ... Civil law suits are the hardest to win, especially on the grounds of defamation/slander/libel ... A good example is the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. I bet all the money in my bank account vs all the money in yours, that Ben Chew, lead council for Johnny Depp was charging several hundred dollars/hr ... I doubt this poor woman, who has taken out this suit, has the kind of money to sue even Greg & Kai/Name this Month, as between them, they should've saved a decent amount ... ... although there was that time he turned up to court on his own ... I hope she is successful ... but that's a steep hill to climb ...
It could be thought of as a bigger deal this way. If it was criminal against onision and kai then yay you got 2 predators out of society for a few years. But against google it could actually force them to take more responsibility for protecting children on their platform. And it then would likely have a ripple effect, because the other social media platforms wouldn't want the same to happen to them.
I really hope this goes all the way through court and it both finally gives some justice to his victims but also stands as president making RUclips take responsibility and fault for enabling these situations.
Before anyone rejoices too early ... Firstly, this isn't a Federal, or even State, prosecution ... it's a civil case ala Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard. Unless the plaintiff has a team of equally good - meaning expensive - lawyers, as Johnny Depp did, civil cases are, paradoxically, harder to win, for the plaintiff, as the defense can often bring in expensive lawyers of their own. If Google _and_ RUclips are both named as co-defendants, that means they will bring in their own in-house counsel which they likely get easily six figures for this kind of stuff. Where things get interesting is if, as the wording suggests, Greg and Kai are named separately. That may mean that they can't share the same legal counsel. The other thing is a request for trial by jury. Having sat on two jury panels myself, even though this was in 2001/2, I still remember both cases pretty well ... I remember shaving the morning I had to attend court, looking myself in the mirror, and somehow trying to reconcile, in a criminal trial, that whilst the person whom was the alleged attacker of the victim - who was pretty bruised up - there was simply not enough evidence to convict, but enough circumstantial evidence to suggest the accused _did_ attack the man. Those of a certain age who knows the play, and film, 'Twelve Angry Men', will understand that dilemma ... The other issue with a civil trial is the most that can be done, if the plaintiff wins, is award damages. Where this a _criminal_ case, bought on by either the State, or, exceptionally, Federal Government, then sentence passed usually ends with a prison sentence. I haven't heard of a single civil lawsuit where that is even a possibility ... The best outcome is, whilst Google/RUclips will not be held legally liable, that if, and only if, Greg, and Kai/Whomever, are separate defendants, each may have to pay damages, usually compensatory - to pay for all the plaintiff's legal costs, plus in lieu of any harm done - and putative, which, in addition to the compensatory damages the jury decides, is the only punishment that can be given out ... In short, don't rejoice just yet, or even at all, as, depending on how deep the Onion Family's pockets are, will determine how good their lawyers are ... although I _can_ see old BoiledRedOnionBoy defending himself ... Keep the sparkling grape juice in the fridge for now, as a) this many take weeks, or months; and b) there maybe little chance the planttiff will win ... Personally, this ought to be a criminal trial, not a civil one, where the individual State is the Prosecution, and is able to bring in their full weight ... including search warrants for _all_ their computers, phones, etc, and perhaps even the physical server on which ol' RottenRedOnionBoy had his 'forum/s' on ... especially the one with the requested photos on, to be 'rated' ... That may still be possible with a civil lawsuit, but I'm very doubtful ... The TL;DR is this won't be over, until it's over; neither Onision, nor Kai will be given the proper prison sentence they both deserve; and any damages they maybe faced with, could possibly be fleeced from what audience they still have.
Preteen me was obsessed with him and now I feel so hopeful and relieved to see him punished for all the inappropriate videos, comments, harassment, brainwashing ETC this man should not have gotten away with what he has taught impressional minors, let alone get paid for it at the time
I love that you put Det. Benson and Judge Judy in the thumbnail. They wouldn’t tolerate any of Onision’s shit. Forget Chris Hansen, we needed Mariska Hargitay and Judge Judy to investigate him.
It feels unreal to me. During this time on youtube I was one of those Onision obsessed children who horribly wrote his name on my body and sent it into those forums. it still terrifies me that he may still have access to those photos. these things will never be forgotten or swept under the rug. I hope he gets what he deserves.
I was worried since they are going after youtube as well Onision might get away with this, I don't think youtube would defend him but who knows if they are included as guilty too. Sounds like 2 different law firms joining together to get him though so here is to hoping he's screwed for life.
Good on Regina for doing this for many different reasons 1)Just cause they weren’t TOUCHED doesn’t mean Regina wasn’t violated and traumatized. Just ask anyone with internet in the 90-00s 2) Regina isn’t the only victim and plenty of others DID get physically assaulted. If Regina is the only one with court worthy PROOF of CSAM then it’s important for the others that this goes to court 3) Greg is all about “honesty” so if he loses he either has to claim that the courts had it out for him, Regina lied even with her evidence OR has to admit he finally got caught
truly terrifying to recall that i was a very young fan of his during the period of time where he was really preying on his young fanbase. i hope they get him for everything
Sui juris literally means "in one's own right," and in secular law, means that the person is of legal age and/or legally competent to act on their own behalf without a parent or legal guardian.
Can't wait for Onision to try to represent himself because he thinks you should only spend money on a lawyer if you know for a fact you're going to win
The claims bring up a good point. Hopefully, the powers that be can atleast take a look at their algorithm. My kids was looking up rattlesnake sounds and stumbled up a woman deep-throating a gummy worm.
I’m only 3 mins into the video but it’s looking like that to me, too. I guess it’s “less serious” if it’s just Regina doing this. I really hope something will come of it though
@@someonesomewhere5667 that’s weird because the docket just lists Regina Vs Greg and Kai or whatever they’re calling themselves now. It’s just filed in Florida.
I sincerely hope the others victims join in including Sarah, Billy or many others who were harmed on RUclips or essentially trafficked, abused. Sarah keeps having their quantities projected on her and they keep lying that she is an r word when clearly they groomed her. The level of slander from Onision and publicly torturing his victims or anyone who criticized them with private info that was clarified to be private. Don’t be Onision and agree RUclips does have accountability. The level that man harassed people publicly even doxed and never got in trouble. I’m glad.

Been here before with the wetlands drama a few years ago
Yeah I was watching one of those karma meditation videos to shield my enemies from stalking me then I turn it off and now Onision is finally getting sued?
It’s beautiful isn’t it? 🥹
This is a hilarious turn of events, because he actually sued the wrong Chris Hansen once. 🤣
"Sui juris" is the legal term for "in one's own right", meaning that Regina is filing it of her own volition and is not under any guardianship. Pretty much she is of legal age at the time of this lawsuit.
It's refreshing to hear the word "grooming" used correctly
@@tiptoethroughthetulips984 it does involve children, if you’re going off the definition. adults can be manipulated and coerced just as easily, but I think the word itself is for a specific group. im so sorry that happened to you, by the way. i hope you were able to heal from it after the fact
@Tiptoe Throughthetulips it does only apply to minors- in adulthood it's just called mental manipulation
@@tiptoethroughthetulips984 While it is identical in concept, the term grooming is minor-specific in order to specify preying on that age range of people.

@@gurunext fun fact, the move SnowGrave is just the move Sheer Cold from pokemon, killing anything you hit it with instantly, albeit being VERY inaccurate.
i remember i was 12 years old, binge watching onisions videos and seeing him tell young girls they should lose weight cause their love handles are too big. he would tell girls who werent overweight that they were fat and should go vegan.i started comparing myself to these girls and wondering if onision would find me attractive so i posted a picture of myself on his forum and he put me in his video and just made fun of me. i tried to go vegan and thats honestly when my ED started. i wish this never happened and that onision never existed.
I did the exact same thing too. not fun. was literally just talking to my friend the other day about how we felt groomed by onision through youtube and all of his videos. he new how to draw people in. I went vegetarian also developed an ED.
I'm sorry you went through that. Unfortunately being young also means that there are people who are waiting to take advantage of you, in whatever way that may be.... For Onionboy, it's some sick pleasure of breaking down women. Vulnerable young women, because a mature one would have busted his nuts ages ago. I hope you were able to recover your self-esteem and confidence, as well as your health.
I must say, I love how Greg is so god damned arrogant and ignorantly thinks that going vegan automatically makes you thinner or something. I'm sorry that happened to you, he's a loathsome douchebag
@@MeiMei... I think it's so much worse than 'breaking women down'. I think he gets off on 'impregnating women's minds' with his toxicity. He's inside those poor girls in ways that an embryo can't even reach. He's not gloating that he made a girl cry, he's enjoying that she won't forget what he said for a long time (allegedly).
@@DaisyAjay Well that too. I imagine there's layers to sick fucks like this.... one of my exes resembles Onionboy so closely that it actually terrified me when I realized it. At least he wasn't on Onionboy's level, that's the only mildly positive thing I'll ever say about that fucker. Anyway, people like that are pathetic cowards. It's why they prey on the weak and vulnerable.
Onision's rap sheet is such a blast from the past. It's easy to forget how much of a monster he was since he got banned, but it really blows my mind how little RUclips ever did to him. They're happy to fuck random people over nowadays, but it took them YEARS to finally boot Onision...
That's the bit that might stick. If they go through all the available stuff both of them said/did in videos, all Onion's stuff others covered and all the complaints RUclips got yet did nothing about until years after he was losing relevance and likely no longer making them good money, they just might have a case to answer. Depends on how strict the court chooses to be. Because I can imagine RUclips: "YT gets 1B videos loaded a day, we can't keep track of it all". But years of complaints about him and all his false copyright claims staff manually overturned will show up somewhere.
Is it true he bought shares in youtube early, so that gave him some sort of protection? I remember hearing that at some stage over the past few years, but no idea if true or not
There were actually several hundred videos (some by popular content creators, such as Blaire White, MrRepzion, Repzilla, Edwin's Generation, and iNabber) dedicated to calling him out. I actually ran a blog about him (OnisionHurtsPeople on Tumblr) for (roughly) a decade. His videos also got reported hundreds of times. I reported some of them myself; and I've seen other commenters say the same. There's absolutely no way that they didn't know about this. I suspect that they just didn't bother doing anything about him because he made them money. He ultimately only got banned (temporarily) because Chris Hansen made them look bad. 🙁 (Although he has since been un-banned). There's just no point in covering his bad behavior anymore.
$ That’s why YT kept him around. That’s why YT let’s content farms stay on their platform even though they violate so many of TY’s terms of service. It’s makes them tons of money. Those rules only apply to those who don’t make YT a lot of $.
@@caitfitz8029
I don’t know about buying shares, I think if he’d bought shares he’d be wealthier 🤷🏻♀️ - what he definitely did was join the RUclips partnership program EARLY, I think he was among the first and the deal was different back then
In the very beginning RUclips partners got much more preferential treatment, it’s 5am rn and I can’t recall the details but yeah
I will say this again and again : I'm terrified for their children.
Yes as one of their sex partners said they had sex in bed when one of the children was asleep in the same bed
@thefeathered amigos He was aggressive. Pushed his sister off the sofa when she was a baby. Greg and his wife made a big deal when the latest babysitter tapped him on the butt in shock at what happened. They never spent time with the kids
@thefeathered amigos His daughter (C) also fell out of a window and cracked her skull open. And before he called 9-1-1, he actually filmed her on the ground. And then, while she was in the hospital with brain damage, he was making tweets about humiliating someone beside a window. He's trash. 🗑 Edit: their son (T) has spit in Lainey/Kais' face; and he also pushed C off the couch.
@Daryle Hayes He was talking about sexually violating a woman too while his daughter was in the hospital.
I don't even want to imagine how fucked up that household is to be a part of, especially as a small child. The possibilities are endless, and they are all disgusting and horrifying
I feel if anyone is really going to catch legal heat from this, it'll be Lucas/Kai/Lainey ect. There's definitive proof of sending and receiving things from a minor, not looking good for them
My bet is Onision will throw them under the bus to save himself.
@@ZombiesRcoming I'm also willing to bet that it could backfire on him because of the circumstances stating he was in on it.
Yeah I’ve heard someone make the point before that Kai/Lainey/etc. will be what gets Onision caught. Greg/James knows how to do this stuff and largely slink away from the law, but since Lainey was originally a victim of his, they don’t know how to groom people as well as Greg himself does lol. It’s almost like having a henchman below you who’s meant to help but due to their own incompetency they end up making things worse
Now of course I’m really glad that Lainey was overt enough with the grooming to be caught with irrefutable evidence, and they weren’t that bad of a ‘henchman’ seeing as they still got minors involved in Greg’s web, but you get what I mean (hopefully lol)
Shrek isn't stupid, he just likes to pretend he is. He used his spouse as a shield, knowing that if anything did come to light, his spouse would take most of the heat.
I suspect that his plan was to throw Taylor/Lainey/Lucas/Eli/Kai under the bus that whole time. That's why he pressured them to pursue relationships that they didn't even want (Billie) so that he (Greg) could benefit from it.
As a child of a Vet, Onision misleading people about his military career has always been a huge point of contention. He knowingly conflates an honorable discharge to a general discharge under honorable conditions. It's NOT a dishonorable discharge by any means, but it does mean that his conduct during service wasn't the best.
I don't know how it is in America but doesn't discharge under honorable conditions mean you didnt break any major rules/laws? It's literally the standard discharge in the services or am I missing something?
Honorable discharge means you have a good record whilst being there. General discharge under honorable conditions means you weren't kicked out for doing something majorly wrong. At least that's how it was described to me in England so I don't know how it is in America.
@@Subarashii_Nem Basically the way it works here is that everyone gets an honorable discharge. A general discharge is more in the middle. Sure, you did your job, but your conduct wasn't great (even if you didn't necessarily break any rules). Think of it as like the equivalent of getting a D or D+ in US public schools. You passed, but only by the skin of your teeth. As far as benefits go, you're still entitled to them with the exception of education benefits.
He actually stripped naked in his military boss's office. I don't think that's "honorable". 🤔 Edit: He did this after less than 6 weeks in the military, incidentally. But he still wants people to "thank him for his service", even though he never served. He's also made videos where he was dressed up in a military uniform. Allegedly.
Oh! I didn’t know there was a distinction like that. Thanks for the info.
@@AnnaVictrix ofc!
Well, it's been a very long time coming but at last, Greg is going to have to stand up & either lie under oath or tell the truth & face the consequences. I shall be following this closely with great interest! Thanks for covering this topic, Repzion.
He's gonna come to court wearing the "stabproof vest" again.
Assuming he won’t have the case dismissed again. Oh wait, he’s the defendant this time, lol
I hope he is proven to have lied at the deposition and all the people who despise him contact the court so they know he lied under oath and demand they do something about it.
@@lightningshy5287 He's definitely going to try to gaslight the judge and jury, only to be shut down in the most satisfying of ways.
It's not a lie if you believe it to be true.
People who believe in their lies are the most dangerous.
My heart breaks for these girls. Especially Sarah who took a stand and surrendered her laptop only for all that to go wrong and Shi, who shouldn’t have ever have been subjected to such degrading abuse.
Yes and now Onision needs to receive 10 times more degrading abuse and be deleted from RUclips AND go to jail AND never have ability to redeem himself... AND everyone knows his "relationship story" AND he has a family he wants to take care of AND he seems sane recently and pretty resentful of all this drama AND get more subscribers and solve more puzzles before posting comments about Heartbreak 👍
I gotta say, I'm glad that Kai is also involved and being held responsible. It's taken too long. But at least we're finally here. I'll be watching and waiting to see how this goes eagerly. In light of this news coming out I hope the victims are okay 💙 sending them love 💙
If onion boy was Jeffery Epstien then Kai is definitely Ghislaine Maxwell
@@cablekar that part
@@cablekar And just like Maxwell, she'll get out of it.
People make a lot of excuses for Kai, it's refreshing to see them being held accountable.
Her name is LAINEY AND SHES FEMALE
Christmas came really early this year! Even if Regina doesn’t win, the fact that this lawsuit was filed and Greg and Lainey will have to defend their actions is a win in my book.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can’t wait to see what happens!
I posted a selfie on Onisions forum when I was 14 or 15 and it still freaks me out to this day. He truly prayed on young girls who didn’t know any better. I am so sorry to anyone who ended up in his videos.
i did too!!! i feel so grateful he never put it in a video
It's not really about knowing any better. It's more to do with critical thinking skills and the ability to discern reality from internet bullshit. About the same age and all the boys in my class seemed to be able to peg him for a piece of shit but the girls were oblivious as fuck to it even after we pointed it out. I still don't understand as an adult how girls could be so utterly blind.
@@isThreeman I’m no expert so take what I say with a pretty big grain of salt, but it truly feels like girls in their teens and pre-teens are a lot more susceptible to manipulation from people like Onision.
Maybe it’s a societal thing conditioning them. Maybe it’s just they care what a “celebrity” thinks. Maybe they just think he’s attractive and therefore can do no wrong. I really couldn’t tell you.
All I can say is that pre-teen and teenage girls tend to fall victim to manipulation a lot easier, and predators know how to exploit this and use it to their advantage. It’s why they always target that demographic.
@@isThreeman Often, at least for me, it was the constantly feeling unloved by my parents and bullied at school. Once a cool older person especially an adult shows interest in you as a child with abysmal self-esteem, it's like a drug to you. Finally, your knight in shining armor to whisk you away and give you the life and love you've always dreamed of. Then they discard you like yesterdays' trash and you don't know what just happened because you felt so special to them not long ago. I was even re-"groomed" at 24 and it felt like a super magnet was pulling me into the direction of an oncoming train. At that age, I could finally see what was happening but I felt powerless to change course.
@@odoplaydead5012 When I was in Middle school I know my friends and I all loved him and Shane Dawson because they had a more edgy emo/scene look and were just 'edgy' with their humor too.

@@nessiefanatic that’s good but honestly I feel like that’s more worrying considering who they are
I remember watching your videos over the years and you constantly pointed out to RUclips how wrong all these things were and how he needed to be stopped, and it was continually ignored for so long. They really should be held accountable as well.
As long as YT is making $ they don’t give a fuck unfortunately.
@@jakejonas7366 lol there's a spam message reply within this individual comment thread even! Wow..
I actually reported some of his videos myself. I know of several other people who did, too; and I can count several different RUclipsrs who covered his behavior within the past decade (Repzion, Repzilla, Edwin's Generation, iNabber and several others). In my opinion, they just simply don't care because he's making them money. 😞
Most think U Tube will cover there arses and his is B.S deep beyond boots! People should have been reporting him all along, paper trail always wins. But i hope all parties go down for what they done and gotten away with.

He just can’t stay out of trouble, can he?
Wait a minute, Onision loves getting into trouble because its the only way he’ll remain relevant.
you mean notorious not relevant lol
@@Nightfighter82 When Onion Bitch started, being hated or pissing people off was the only way he’d ever get attention to his channel and profit off of it. He can’t profit off of it anymore through anything that isn’t OnlyFans, but he finds ways to get people to despise him and thrive off of it to stay relevant or notorious.
Its possible to make a career off of offending people or being hated, but when you land in legal trouble or start hurting other people? Well, that’s when things go from bad to worse.
In my opinion, he actually (allegedly) starts drama on purpose in order to get people to respond to him.
Edit: He's done this with Repzion, Cyr, and he also tried to do it with Shiloh and Billie - and Ayalla (best friend of Billie) and Sarah, to a lesser extent). He even did this once with his own parents (his Mother, Tammi). He has also made accusations against his Father (I can't remember why - I believe that he accused him of being a ped*phile.)
@@Hollyucinogen Probably on to something there
I was a fan of him back when I was a teen, crazy how he normalized abuse and solidified my beliefs that it was ok to have a romantic partner who is older and controlling, my first two bfs were predators, I was 15 with a 19 year old, and 17 with a 21 year old, I’m autistic and I used to be very naive and gullible and I thought I was mature, I wish things could have been different, they stole my innocence and firsts, I wish I could go back in time and keep adult men away from me 😭 girls, here’s your reminder, you are not just mature, he’s a predator/pedo
God I wish this lawsuit would be against RUclips as well. Have YT lawyers just standing there like clowns having to answer questions like "How did you people ignore MULTIPLE, DOZENS, ect. of complaints of this person/persons over and over?!" I just WANT YT to fix their faces and throw a reply at it.
It is, isn't it? Because google owns youtube. So if this does go to trial and they don't settle you are probably going to get this exact moment.
Actually this _does_ involve youtube as well. Half of these complaints are directed at YT specifically because all this was essentially sanctioned by them. This could be really big for everyone involved.

@Enki1013 The best example of your comment is Actman. Look at how fast they NUKED him for pointing out how YT failed at keeping up with their OWN rules and giudelines. Right when the talk of a "second ad-pocalypse" starting getting traction Actman was re-monetized. Of course the thing that gets RUclipss automatic and immediate attention is money.
Kai, you can change your name all you want, but you can never run from your past! Name changing will never save you from what you did! I hope that they both get the book thrown at them!
They can change their names, But they can't change their faces.
Their cyber footprint is deep >:0
And perhaps the children in a stable and healthy home. There is no way that’s what’s being offered in their current situation
Honestly im fine with it
Kai was a really stupid fake name picked by someone who (in my opinion) was starving for attention during the early days of their transition
At least Lucas is a name someone in an english speaking nation could actually have
If the name Kai doesn't tell you anything 🙄 it changed its name and gender because it was getting too old to be an attractive "girl", so it cashed in on the Yaoi/Space Prince/softboi trend to appeal to underage girls again. I'd bet like a hundred dollars that if its convicted, it's suddenly going to be a woman again. Probably a "poor abused" woman. I just hope its kids make it out relatively okay.
The true shame is that both Greg and Kai or whatever they call themselves will probably never face criminal prosecution for the planned and researched crimes they committed. This is just one person suing another. This does however make Greg and Kai give a deposition and it will be under oath with penalty of perjury so if they try to lie they can be charged with a crime. Let’s hope those scumbags are dumb enough to try.
Greg absolutely would, because he believes he's always in the right, like the true blue narc he is.
Theres documentation and a long history. When there's an investigation they wait years in order to build a stack of evidence against the person. Fools rush in. Thats why its taken so long to get Andrew Tate and R Kelly. They have a pattern of behavior documented over years instead of one time crimes. He'll be prosecuted and face consequences this time. Theres 2 state law firms going after him. Also they're dragging YT, a large corporation , they'll have to take it seriously because they dont want to lose money
@@huronheron6274 I mean to his credit he does research the law enough so he just is safe enough. Yes he has done stupid stuff but usually knows more or less how to draw the line from criminal (except on his taxes apparently..)
@@LokiTheClever traveling to another state to have sex with a minor is illegal I believe, and he did it TWICE to two seperate girls (Shiloh and Taylor (at the time)) that we know of. Violates the Mann act I think. The problem is that noone knew that this was a law and whatever statutes of limitations were in place had long expired when it was discovered.
Greg is good at covering his tracks. He didn't really broadcast that he was leaving the state, expect for that one video he uploaded of him bitching about hitting a deer on his way to Mann Act Shiloh in Pennsylvania and the only one who might catch the most heat would be his wife for sending and recieving nudes from minors.

Holy shit PLEASE, universe, give us and his victims this win, it is desperately needed! Thanks for covering this Daniel, this should be blowing up.
As a teen, youtube ABSOLUTELY suggested Onision to me. For a minute, I was sucked in as well. I was lucky enough to figure out what was happening without being victimized by him or his followers. Do I smell a class action? Only 20 people needed to get started.
The amount of times Onision and their partner change names/aliases is most telling. My ex would do that... probably still is.
That happens with people discovering themselves and what names goes best. I have two acquaintances with trans and gender exploring kids who have changed their names 2 and 4 times.

I’ve followed anything in him for years and it’s about time something finally happened.

PRAISE THE FUCKING SUN, FINALLY
I never thought I'd see the day that Onion and Taylor would face justice for their countless crimes. I constantly had that nagging thought in my head that they got away with this shit, and it's music to my ears that they'll finally get what's coming to them. This is genuinely one of the happiest days of my life!
I was one of those young teens (14 at the time) who was easily influenced by the "am I pretty or hot?" style videos, and submitted a photo of myself for the video where he ranked girls who'd been dress coded with "Onision" written across my cleavage and got featured as the "winner". Needles to say, the school was absolutely correct to dress code me for the top as it was a low cut sweetheart neckline and again, I was 14.

Literally I remember being 14 and being recommended onisions videos, specifically the ones where he’d talk about comparing girls bodies and which one looked better. And I realized that right before you read the line in the complain #18, it’s crazy because that’s so true
It’s honestly a shame YT can’t or isn’t being held liable for the role they played in boosting Greg’s channel and career based solely on watch times and rates, because people were reporting him the first day he started uploading pics of underage girls in their underwear and YT continued to boost his content. So many people overlook YT’s complete knowledge of Greg’s actions and choosing to do nothing for a long long time.
i was not so lucky thankfully i never posted on his forums
When I was 14, I wasn’t allowed on the computer, and didn’t care because I just went over to friends’ houses and they came over and we were taken places.
@@jakejonas7366 seriously! I hope they win against youtube and onision because it’s crazy looking back on it, how many times his content showed up on my feed and I was literally 14! I was so insecure with myself at the time and I thought getting advice from a guy online was gonna help me feel better!! RUclips knew that’s how underage girls were thinking and continued to recommend his videos to me up until I was 16 and lost interest. It really is fucked up
Karma is coming hard for Onion Man.
Wow crazy to see it all written out in legal documents. Hope there’s some justice in all of this.
I'm also glad that Lainey/Kai features a lot in this. I've seen too many Onision documentaries which paint Lainey/Kai from the perspective that they had no idea what they were doing and Onision was the puppet master when there's this entire laundry list of sexual crap they've done. Even if Onision was taken out of the picture, I'm not convinced Lainey/Kai wouldn't be a danger to minors, so I'm glad it's not being swept under the rug here.
I hope they BOTH go down.
Not losing any sleep over him facing accountability. Thanks to my home state for setting the bar.
It has nothing to do with Florida except that presumably Regina lives in Florida. This is a civil suit filed by Regina for monetary damages only.
Shout out to Florida ☝️
It also took a Discovery+ documentary and an additional 2 years for there to be a real legal case…. All I’m gonna say is it’s about frickin time cause the lack of legal action had me believing it was nothing but internet drama between exes (I never knew about Regina)
I hope onision gets a lawyer so he doesn't fuck up discovery and gets charged with contempt for court or manages a mistrial somehow. I want him tried to the fullest extent in the most ironclad way
Anytime a couple is both changing their names that’s a red flag 🚩
Kai is definitely crying right now.
let's not forget Kai is also a pedophile, who keeps running away whenever people ask it (not "he", not "she", not "them", but IT!) for its side of the story
I was an Onision fan when I was 12-13. The things he said about other people's bodies made me feel like absolute shit about my own. I soon developed an E.D, and I really feel that what he said definitely propelled that. The way he portrays himself as "just honest" can really fuck with someone who's 12/13 and very impressionable. Looking back it's silly now, but when you're that age it can affect you so much.
Just when you think he'd disappeared 😬
I don’t think he’s ever left. He’s like an aggressive zombie: Just when you think he’s gone, surprise!
I see him all over Twitter now. He’s replying to hundreds of posts trying to be quirky
It’s crazy, I totally understand the argument they’re making in court. I’m 24, so I was a young teen around the time onision was popular and at one point I was a actually a fan of his. It wasn’t until I started watching your videos at the time that was able to see just how fucked of a person he was. then it was just entertaining watching his complete down fall and all the drama that came from it but I’m even happier now that it seems he’s actually going to face consequences for his actions. he definitely deserves it.
literally had a friend fully aware of all of this stuff and genuinely wanted to be the next person picked by them 🙃 it's insane
Please be kind to them, they are absolutely being groomed/coerced by someone. I remember being a kid and wanting Onision to pick me, and I'm literally a lesbian! Its all about normalization and manipulation.
I wonder if he wears his body armour the right way round this time. 🤣
Btw, looking at the fact that Onision has likely known that this lawsuit has been in the works for some time, it really begins to make sense on why he was calling himself “Johnny Depp” a few months ago, and trying to re-kindle the non-existent fire under his claims that Sarah “R”aepe’d
Completely forgot about Eugenia. It’s honestly scary how she’s still alive
ok but im highkey terrified google and youtube are being dragged into this bc what if they get such good lawyers tehy leave an easy win for the onion man and his spouse
So this is not a Criminal Suit (seeking jail time), it's a Monetary one seeking 150k usd in damages and lawyer fees. Good luck in getting any $$$ off of his broke a** unless youtube is paying
Gerg finally getting the legal suppository he should've gotten 15 years ago.
I remember him doing the rating videos, I wanted to participate in it, but I was over weight, so I never did. The idea of being noticed or even meet up with a big youtuber like Onision back in the day huge. I am glad more people are talking about the grooming situation back mid 2000's
I feel like at this point death is only thing that will stop Onision from commiting what my court appointed lawyer refers to as "General Jackassary"
Kai is to Onision as Ghislaine is to Jeffery. Lawsuit nothing. Where are the CHARGES?
This is why lawyers are important. They can pull up a near infinite number of laws that were broken in a complicated and fucked up situation like this. Also while calling out RUclips for their negligence in all of this.
Please don't just cover it, reach out and provide as much raw footage and evidence as you can!
I'm curious to see how this lawsuit goes. Maybe his victims will get some actual justice this time, even if it's just a few of them. Them also suing RUclips for being complacent makes sense, too.
I bet Onision will show up in court with expired bulletproof vest to defend themselves. Because he big brain.
FCC regulations claim that trafficking includes SENDING PHOTOS to minors, enticing minors to send photos, etc. I think you covered this afteri started typing - bad keyboard.
I hope Sarah, Billlie, and Shilo (II think that was the other one) are able to add their names to the suit. They should be able to, if my paralegal training is still valid. That family needs something done to them.
I remember being 12 watching him… this is still so terrifying and sad
same
You are blue
oh wow i didnt see that coming. i thought that the whole chris hansen thing ruined the chances for a federal sue
wow actual good news from Florida for once. it's been insane down there
I hope this case gets what they're asking for and maybe RUclips will finally take predators on their platform seriously by banning them.
Onision is only being sued?! When do we get to hear the part where he actually goes to prison for grooming his victims that he and his wife participated in?
How is it a "Federal" lawsuit if it says it is a civil lawsuit filed in Florida Court?
Sounds just as it says: a civil damages lawsuit.
She's bypassing a criminal case because it went nowhere as we all remember. Sadly DASs don't push this type of case and they are notoriously hard to prosecute.
It's actually a terrific idea. Usually it goes the other way around, but if they file in civil court and get that evidence on record, and they win, that could prompt a criminal case.
That would be so awesome.
Fingers crossed.
In my opinion, they should sue Google for failing to take appropriate action. THAT would be justice and, of course, she'd be guaranteed to get money damages. I doubt she'll get much from Greg if she wins.
It's a civil lawsuit unfortunately..
You beat me to it ...
Civil law suits are the hardest to win, especially on the grounds of defamation/slander/libel ...
A good example is the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. I bet all the money in my bank account vs all the money in yours, that Ben Chew, lead council for Johnny Depp was charging several hundred dollars/hr ...
I doubt this poor woman, who has taken out this suit, has the kind of money to sue even Greg & Kai/Name this Month, as between them, they should've saved a decent amount ...
... although there was that time he turned up to court on his own ...
I hope she is successful ... but that's a steep hill to climb ...
Better than nothing my dude.
It could be thought of as a bigger deal this way. If it was criminal against onision and kai then yay you got 2 predators out of society for a few years. But against google it could actually force them to take more responsibility for protecting children on their platform. And it then would likely have a ripple effect, because the other social media platforms wouldn't want the same to happen to them.
Authorities only started taking the R Kelly accusations seriously after a civil lawsuit
I really hope this goes all the way through court and it both finally gives some justice to his victims but also stands as president making RUclips take responsibility and fault for enabling these situations.
Why do I feel an irresistable urge to get up and dance right now? I can't stop smiling either!
Seeing this all compiled into a wreckage of a lawsuit is just... *chefs kiss*
I have waited so, so long for this. RIP Facts Machine
Before anyone rejoices too early ...
Firstly, this isn't a Federal, or even State, prosecution ... it's a civil case ala Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard.
Unless the plaintiff has a team of equally good - meaning expensive - lawyers, as Johnny Depp did, civil cases are, paradoxically, harder to win, for the plaintiff, as the defense can often bring in expensive lawyers of their own. If Google _and_ RUclips are both named as co-defendants, that means they will bring in their own in-house counsel which they likely get easily six figures for this kind of stuff.
Where things get interesting is if, as the wording suggests, Greg and Kai are named separately. That may mean that they can't share the same legal counsel.
The other thing is a request for trial by jury. Having sat on two jury panels myself, even though this was in 2001/2, I still remember both cases pretty well ... I remember shaving the morning I had to attend court, looking myself in the mirror, and somehow trying to reconcile, in a criminal trial, that whilst the person whom was the alleged attacker of the victim - who was pretty bruised up - there was simply not enough evidence to convict, but enough circumstantial evidence to suggest the accused _did_ attack the man. Those of a certain age who knows the play, and film, 'Twelve Angry Men', will understand that dilemma ...
The other issue with a civil trial is the most that can be done, if the plaintiff wins, is award damages. Where this a _criminal_ case, bought on by either the State, or, exceptionally, Federal Government, then sentence passed usually ends with a prison sentence. I haven't heard of a single civil lawsuit where that is even a possibility ...
The best outcome is, whilst Google/RUclips will not be held legally liable, that if, and only if, Greg, and Kai/Whomever, are separate defendants, each may have to pay damages, usually compensatory - to pay for all the plaintiff's legal costs, plus in lieu of any harm done - and putative, which, in addition to the compensatory damages the jury decides, is the only punishment that can be given out ...
In short, don't rejoice just yet, or even at all, as, depending on how deep the Onion Family's pockets are, will determine how good their lawyers are ... although I _can_ see old BoiledRedOnionBoy defending himself ...
Keep the sparkling grape juice in the fridge for now, as a) this many take weeks, or months; and b) there maybe little chance the planttiff will win ...
Personally, this ought to be a criminal trial, not a civil one, where the individual State is the Prosecution, and is able to bring in their full weight ... including search warrants for _all_ their computers, phones, etc, and perhaps even the physical server on which ol' RottenRedOnionBoy had his 'forum/s' on ... especially the one with the requested photos on, to be 'rated' ...
That may still be possible with a civil lawsuit, but I'm very doubtful ...
The TL;DR is this won't be over, until it's over; neither Onision, nor Kai will be given the proper prison sentence they both deserve; and any damages they maybe faced with, could possibly be fleeced from what audience they still have.
The fact that even Repzion is forgetting some of these key moments in Onion history gives me hope that we're finally collectively healing
please god let this be filmed in court
Preteen me was obsessed with him and now I feel so hopeful and relieved to see him punished for all the inappropriate videos, comments, harassment, brainwashing ETC this man should not have gotten away with what he has taught impressional minors, let alone get paid for it at the time
I love this for him.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy eh?
Is this Brandon?
I love that you put Det. Benson and Judge Judy in the thumbnail. They wouldn’t tolerate any of Onision’s shit. Forget Chris Hansen, we needed Mariska Hargitay and Judge Judy to investigate him.
Karma is coming for Onision,
This explains his newest emotional goodbye video lmao
even before the fbi got involved Onision's channels should of been gone a long time ago & this is probably going to get him banned.
It feels unreal to me. During this time on youtube I was one of those Onision obsessed children who horribly wrote his name on my body and sent it into those forums. it still terrifies me that he may still have access to those photos. these things will never be forgotten or swept under the rug. I hope he gets what he deserves.
I was worried since they are going after youtube as well Onision might get away with this, I don't think youtube would defend him but who knows if they are included as guilty too. Sounds like 2 different law firms joining together to get him though so here is to hoping he's screwed for life.
I am so flipping proud of my fellow Floridian.
Edit: ..I hope he has to make an appearance and wears the same court outfit from before.
woke up to Onision being sued by FL on a Friday morning. today's gonna be a good day
Good on Regina for doing this for many different reasons 1)Just cause they weren’t TOUCHED doesn’t mean Regina wasn’t violated and traumatized. Just ask anyone with internet in the 90-00s 2) Regina isn’t the only victim and plenty of others DID get physically assaulted. If Regina is the only one with court worthy PROOF of CSAM then it’s important for the others that this goes to court 3) Greg is all about “honesty” so if he loses he either has to claim that the courts had it out for him, Regina lied even with her evidence OR has to admit he finally got caught
truly terrifying to recall that i was a very young fan of his during the period of time where he was really preying on his young fanbase. i hope they get him for everything
Sui juris literally means "in one's own right," and in secular law, means that the person is of legal age and/or legally competent to act on their own behalf without a parent or legal guardian.
Can't wait for Onision to try to represent himself because he thinks you should only spend money on a lawyer if you know for a fact you're going to win
The claims bring up a good point. Hopefully, the powers that be can atleast take a look at their algorithm. My kids was looking up rattlesnake sounds and stumbled up a woman deep-throating a gummy worm.
Well then. That's....an escalation LOL
Wtf?!
Justice for that creep.
He’s not being sued by the state of Florida, he’s being sued in Florida lol
I’m only 3 mins into the video but it’s looking like that to me, too. I guess it’s “less serious” if it’s just Regina doing this. I really hope something will come of it though
Did the title say Florida was suing him? Idk if it got updated at a different time but it says it's IN florida
@@ARicks-kj7rs it first popped up as by Florida but when I clicked on the video it changed to in Florida
I have the screenshot of it saying by Florida
@@someonesomewhere5667 that’s weird because the docket just lists Regina Vs Greg and Kai or whatever they’re calling themselves now. It’s just filed in Florida.
I sincerely hope the others victims join in including Sarah, Billy or many others who were harmed on RUclips or essentially trafficked, abused. Sarah keeps having their quantities projected on her and they keep lying that she is an r word when clearly they groomed her. The level of slander from Onision and publicly torturing his victims or anyone who criticized them with private info that was clarified to be private. Don’t be Onision and agree RUclips does have accountability. The level that man harassed people publicly even doxed and never got in trouble. I’m glad.
I CANNOT BELIEVE this is FINALLY happening!! Good for Regina!!! That is amazing. "The wheels of justice turn slowly".
Rep in the book review: I dont wanna talk about onision anymore
