wow David Dobrik really sucks. telling a woman you got off on what you thought was her underage, leaked nudes is not the compliment he thinks it is. she should've dropped him then!!
Wait, people were just sharing ***illegal*** nudes on Twitter? And then people dogpiled on the girl instead of the psycho that shared them? People are such trash.
It's the one thing I hope our generation is better at. There's no reason at all for her to have gone through all that horrific trauma and adults let her down like that. I never want to go back to how women were portrayed even just 10 year ago. It's sad thinking how I and many other women grew up with this treatment normalized. Eugh!! I sure hope we can all continue to grow, and continue to not put down other women just because of internalized misogyny 👏
the IRONY in jack saying 'you're a slut!!!' and then saying 'I am going to sleep with every girl in LA', This poor woman, the trauma that she had to go through as a young girl. Also, the word 'slut' was used so flippantly, as an insult back then that looking back, you know that there was no real insult that they could have used so they just went with the most horrid misogynically charged one
@@es1645 sleeping with people is so okay if you are safe and use protection and disclose your STD status!!!! but something tells me that men like him would be sad if their intimate partner wanted him to wear protection
@@gabi-eg7tg Bare in mind sleeping around may not be safe, you don't know if that random guy or girl you're sleeping with may poke holes in the condom or commit stealthing or commit other forms of SA, the risks are just too high.
The fact that taylor went so much out of his way to label madison as trash and s*ut makes me think that he definitely hit on her and she turned him down and he was pissy cause his fragile pride couldn't take it. Hes disgusting
people criticizing madison beer for saying her favorite book is Lolita even tho she herself was a girl being groomed and sexualized from the age of 13 feels......weird. like have we considered she maybe related to dolores in a way or are we just gonna assume the worst of her and also discredit this book that, while heavily portraying pedophilia, does not endorse it in any way and could resonate with a lot of young women who have been groomed by their own humberts
Agree, but also agree with her response to people, like that dark subject matter can be fun for lotsa people, but some people can’t handle it and also I think she should revisit it personally and see if she still likes it and also try and see if she can find a book she likes better, because then she would be reading which is good for her and also rereading it she could have more insight and fun with it
thats not why she was criticized. after saying her favorite book was lolita during a livestream someone commented “please don’t tell me you romanticize lolita” to which she responded “i definitely do but we’re not gonna talk about that”…
Madison reminds me so much of Megan Fox; both starting in the media at young ages and being overly sexualized aswell as hated by the media for not apparent reason than just being associated with other people, being completely judged by anything they did and didn't.
As someone who only thought of Madison beer as "one of those tikTok girls who got famous for being pretty and doing dumb dance trends," this video has really opened my eyes to see that she's much, much more than that. From her abusive ex, to the leaked nudes, to the internet constantly dragging her name through the mud, ALL WHILE BEING A CHILD, I sincerely hope she is able to heal from everything she's been through and finds peace someday.
@@selenesaint they admit they didnt know much about her + were wrong about her - you don't have to be young have avoided really looking into a celebrity. some people just dont pay much attention to celebrity culture, honestly maybe those who look too much into it are the out of touch ones... what is your point in making this comment when og's changed their perception on her and wishes her the best?
I was familiar with her music to an extent and with the Ariana comparisons/the “I was supposed to be in the video!” Video, but I had no idea about any of the shit she’d been through.
I saw this post on Instagram “what’s a celebrity you hate for no reason” and Madison was the most common name. I was mostly appalled 98% names were women but this makes it so much worse.
@@flowerheit4512literally! When I read the original comment I immediately thought about how I hate Matthew McConaughey but then I realized that I actually have reasons for that lol
i always find it weird when ppl hate on women like madison for "setting unrealistic beauty standards" because these beauty standards are rooted by misogyny. madison is not a perpetrator, she is a victim of misogyny with or without plastic surgery
I haaaaate when people say that a woman is pushing unrealistic beauty standards just because she happens to be one of the few who fulfils those standards
i mean? one can be a victim and a perpetrator. i think the whole “setting unrealistic standards” thing is weird anyway, because it’s so bizarre to police people’s bodies like that. but you can be a victim and then perpetuate the harm.
I’m a huge monster high fan and like…. If someone on the spot asked me to explain “frights , camera, action” in an interview my brain would melt? There’s a bunch of random shit that happens ?? And explaining any of it would give away the entire twist ?
dude the video of the girl screaming about how upset she is that madison is [allegedly] lying about having filler/plastic surgery is peak weirdo internet behavior imo.. very strange behavior to me
I genuinely hope she eventually talked to someone who could help her through her feelings instead of screaming online. Like, I sort of understand her point but her anger about it.... that's something else And celebrities telling us they DID have surgery... doesn't change the fact they're still good looking lol
This section pissed me off SO much because they’re basically just getting mad at Madison for being beautiful. Like just Madison existing is apparently “setting unrealistic beauty standards”… so what, Madison should change her face and body to please them? Is that not the problem women are complaining about? If you’re not beautiful you need to change and if you’re too beautiful you need to change. I can’t say whether Madison has had plastic surgery or uses photoshop or not but- I’ve seen plenty of women in person who are utterly gorgeous and have amazing bodies, it’s absolutely possible she really looks like that. The problem is how much society values beauty and makes women that aren’t beautiful feel worthless. The problem is that some girls feel bad because they’re not in the top 10% of beauty, not that those beautiful women exist.
I was looking for someone else talking about this. Very concerning for her to be that upset over another woman’s alleged filler and surgery. Screaming until your face turns red probably isn’t a healthy reaction lmfaoo. Embarrassing but hopefully she has grown since then.
Describing Taylor Caniff as "local jar of radioactive mayonnaise" is one of the most accurately eloquent descriptions I've ever heard of a person. Thank you Ashley for giving me a new phrase to add to my insult vernacular
@@astroblast2325 thank you for doing the research 🙏 I wasn't sure but I thought that quote had been around for a bit before that time period. And also that era of pop culture twitter was so rife with people tweeting cute or funny quotes as their own tweets so it was so hard to tell who were the originators
i think criticizing a girl whose body has been constantly scrutinized by grown ass people for her entire life for finding lolita particularly interesting is kind of fucking crazy. it's like people can't possible imagine this girl engaging in critical reading. maybe her words on the book weren't the best-thought but this assumption that someone's favorite book is their favorite because they relate to or agree with its narrator (especially in the case of a book like lolita!) is ridiculous.
they don't have critical thinking skills and no understanding of the book beyond the botched adaptations and they are going to take it out on everyone else.
@@kwangya yeah but especially considering her life story and waht she went through at such a young age, i don't know why ppl feel they should hate her for it. A lot of survivors are drawn to this book and it's probably a big reason why it's legacy remains so strong despite the countless botched adaptations. Maybe she relates to Dolores in some ways, maybe it helps her make sense of her situation, maybe she answered without really considering the weight of the question since she was on instagram live ???
@@lisafenzi9739 it’s different to romanticize the book and appreciate it bc u relate to a character. she clearly said she romanticizes it. there’s not an excuse. what is there to romanticize as a survivor on a book that is all abt how a 12yo is being groomed by a middle aged man, especially when the book is written by the pov of the pedophile?
right. just because I watch a Jeffrey Dahmer movie, that doesn't mean I think serial killers are cool. people can like darker media without it being a reflection on them
so many people failed her, so many people supported her abusers, everyone involved agents, parents, fans etc is responsible for the traumatization and abuse of this girl
I hate that we terrorize under aged girls for sexualizing themselves as if we don't live in a society that tells girls from a very young age that their only worth as a female is their sexual currency. As if we don't live in a society founded on the male gaze in which they will be sexualized anyway even if they do nothing, ESPECIALLY if they fit traditional beauty norms like Madison does.
That's bs to me,underage girls shouldn't and Should not be sexualized. what is this with "expressing yourself"? , sounds like something a pedo would say
@@recreatio really it’s societies fault she keeps on finding herself in these situations?, doctoring a story about your ex being abusive so you can win some sympathy points
I didn’t realize her rise to fame was so tragic and horrifying. It’s insane how so many famous women’s horrific stories of abuse are simply brushed and glossed over and everyone forgets. So gross. (Before I get a nitpick response, I’m specifically referring to celebs in this context and I’m aware this happens to women as a whole, celeb or not.)
What do you mean brushed over? Rihanna's abuse by Chris Brown is talked about all the time his name is brought up ,also Taylor brings up names of her ex's and she's praised? Talk about having a victim mentality
@@Cyberfan2167 just looked at your previous comments and replies to ppl on this channel and I'm not surprised you'd take my comment like this. Gross lmao. Good job. You mentioned 2 famous women (who are often berated and Chris brown is still praised).
@@SaintAvangelineand? IDK about Rihanna but Taylor still gets praise and admiration from her fans and peers for her lyrics of her ex's ,who actually likes Chris Brown? Cuz everytime I see his name brought up, people always bring up Rihanna Again y'all are stuck in this victim mentality which I find annoying because it's not like this happens every time , Madison still has fans and still is here despite everything and you all just take pity like she's dead.
You should place an apostrophe between "girl" and the "s" that follows, i.e., "girl's." As your statement stands, your second sentence has incorrectly used the plural version of "girl."
@@edwarddorey4480Do you get off by correcting everyone’s grammar in the comment section? This isn’t the first comment of yours that I’ve seen doing this. Cringe.
I won't lie, i completely respect madison for confronting that girl and for the way she did. You'll notice at the end of the clip she offered to speak in private and i think that is a very mature thing to do. It's really sad that she had to mature so quickly and that she had to go through so much on her own; i dont know her parents (obviously) but i think they suck.
It's really sad she had to, and infuriating she didn't get credit for it. You're right, that was the most mature and open minded response. Given all the insane arguments on video today, she needs props for that
It sounds like she was so exploited in other peoples quest for fame. It’s sad to hear she was so unprotected from harassment and abuse. I hope she’s getting the support and love she deserves!
The Lolita situation is so dumb. Madison should not have had to apologize for saying she liked it. It’s a good book. A very dark and upsetting book, but a good book nonetheless. It’s absolutely not for everyone, but it does not make her somehow a bad person for liking it.
@@tinyh0rse Exactly. It's one thing to say you like the book because you understand the point of it. But it's... another to say you... "romanticize" it. That opens a whole other can of worms. Her response, however, was very well though out and approached with grace. If what she said was true, that she read that book "several years ago" (Which means she read this book as a... child... oof), she definitely does need to read it again in a new light, with more mature and older eyes. And from what I can glean from her past relationships... I can see why she "romanticized" it at first - to which I can fully understand. I really hope she has been, or will, heal from all that. Dealing with abuse is a severely damaging thing, especially if you were a child. It fucks you up psychologically in a way that is just... indescribable.
@@canariawingshe’s also a SA victim tho. of course romanticising it is icky, but i can kinda get why you’d want to reframe something like that and why she’d want to, even if i would never want to and don’t think it’s healthy. i still think her response was graceful though.
taylor caniff 100% reminds me of the guys that tried to hook up with me in HS, and when I rejected them, made it their life’s mission to sit behind me in every class and threat to “ruin my life with one picture”.
he would 100% be the guy you rejected who was originally like “you’re so pretty please go out with me” to “you’re so ugly. i would never go out with you.”
The adults who spread her photograph should be in jail for distributing & possession of child pornography that is also revenge porn. The amount of adults and teens who did this are sex offenders just because it’s online doesn’t excuse or make it not as bad. I think people don’t grasp that this is the case because it’s online and they can’t see the person and it gives them some sick power.
her getting rumors and hate BECAUSE OF A WATTPAD FIC is so insane to me like 1) the fic itself was probably written by some young teen with imaginary beef with Madison Beer (mind-boggling) and 2) people believed it?? What happens if people ask for source? They link the Wattpad fic? I don't know much about Madison Beer outside of K/DA but jeez her antis are on a different level of hating. I wonder what makes people dislike her so much?
I’m realizing a lot of negative feelings I had towards Madison Beer when she first became famous were based in jealousy and misogyny. I think she was treated horribly by boys and men, but also by women and girls who should’ve stood by her more but couldn’t because of this inherent competitiveness and jealousy that can tinge our acceptance of beautiful and successful girls/women. she embodies the pitfalls of that kind of anti-feminism, because I think some of the intense attacks come from people who see her living this wattpad dream and want to take that from her or make that dream less appealing by ruining it for her… I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I’m excited to. Also the whole nepotism angle is soooooo annoying because even if the rumors are true this is how so many artists lie or fudge things to seem like they are more home grown. To be honest compared to someone like Dakota Johnson or Lily Rose Depp, this nepotism is like the least egregious case ever.
"She embodies the pitfalls of that kind of anti feminism" sounds like there is a kind of anti feminism that is good, so I hope ur journey is going well ❤️ lol
@@Cyberfan2167 like she embodies the pitfalls of how people blinded by their own biased hate like oh shes a prettier girl thus i have to tear her down cuz that means im not as good that people were conditioned due to misogyny for eg, to see her as a person and just found whatever reason to get at her.
The whole plastic surgery thing is actually really weird because if you look at it pictures of her when she’s not super glam she looks pretty similar to her old pictures. Her eyebrows look the same her nose was always small with a flat slope and she always had strong bone structure. Her lips are also a lot smaller without make up when she’s talking and stuff. The whole scandal is kind of weird because everybody got mad at her for lying but I don’t think she was.
she definitely was and still is… I think people were mad because she claims to be a really transparent person. Which she is to a certain extent. She has become the beauty standard, and continues to perpetuate unrealistic standards by not admitting to surgery
@@renuschmaya It’s still dumb bc there’s no way to know for sure and people are mad at her like she’s a confirmed liar. Only thing that looks different is her lips which she already admitted. She definitely could’ve been telling the truth
yeah im not an expert but i think the way she does her makeup gives her a "plastic surgery" sort of look in a lot of pics and videos (in my opinion she uses waaay too much contouring and highlighter on her nose, it makes it look super skinny like she had a bad nosejob but i dont think she actually did)
She kind of reminds me of Megan Fox, not just in looks but with all of the horrible stuff they went through, and the hate they both received from just ... being extremely pretty.
Also, I really love these kinds of videos. Not to sound parasocial, but it reminds me of hanging out with your slightly tipsy friend as she infodumps about the internet rabbit hole she went down a few days ago. The drama is no stakes for you, you get to learn about some random thing that you never would have known about and everything is chill, fun and safe.
Do I care about Madison Beer or even know anything about her? No. Will I watch an hour and a half video because it's Ashley and she slays hardcore? Absolutely. The monster High drama on top of that and right at the beginning? Spoiling us lol Edit Madison Beer got treated like shit like she could NOT catch a break girl even got blamed for weird Wattpad story plots
1:09:30 - This girl’s misplaced, projected anger is disturbing. That level of vitriol for a stranger is a terrifying example of parasocial obsession. An average person would get a restraining order against someone screeching at and about them that way. Unacceptable behavior, even for a teenager.
@@edwarddorey4480ew, why are all of your comments corrections? Ppl aren’t out here trying to write perfectly constructed sentences. You’re in the RUclips comments.
The statement she published on IWD honestly gave me goosebumps bc u can feel how hard this must have been for her. The same thing happened to me when I was 15. It was terrifying. This almost made me cry cuz I can feel her pain. I feel rly bad for her and the things she has been thru
the “unrealistic beauty standards” complaint is so tired, no one owes you an explanation of their medical history just because they’re beautiful. also there are ways to change your face without surgery and filler, madison clearly has strong facial muscles, which is one of the reasons she looks so good. what are these girls gonna do when they find out some people are born good looking?
Right? Everytime I see that, it's almost always directed at someone who is more or less naturally gorgeous with genetic lottery. I assume everyone in Hollywood, men, women, and dogs, have gotten cosmetic procedures but they're not miracle cures. Look at Khloe Kardashian. She's gotten a lot of work done, it's SUPER obvious, and she looks Uncanny Valley whereas someone naturally beautiful, like Madison, doesn't have that same appeal.
and the crazy part is she was always gorgeous and faces develop so much over a life, i used to have a huge nose and it shrunk down as my face filled out, i cannot imagine what ppl would say of if i was famous like dissecting my features… so sad
I will never stop defending Madison. She’s never made her personality and brand to be centered around the way she looks, she’s also extremely talented and makes some pretty good music, I very much enjoyed her album and her book. She’s an intelligent and well spoken girl who uses her privileged position to speak out about important issues like mental health and the dark side of Hollywood. She’ll forever be an inspiration me.💖
it genuinely irks me that people still overlook her talents and see her as this pretty online influencer when clearly she's more than that??? THIS GIRL CAN SING AND WRITE
The more I see deep dives about influencers who were online from a young age, and the more I realize how many adults failed and even worsened the trauma that these young kids went through. Madison went through so much awful shit at incredibly formative years in her life. She’s a very strong woman
Clarifying the alegriers drama (as someone who witnessed it real time): Ale was a magcon stan living in LA. She had constant run ins with the guys, not enough to be close or anything but they definitely remembered her from meeting so many times. Hated Madison for whatever reason (at the time she said Madison was rude to her friends). Ale had a fan meet up at the Grove - just a bunch of teens on twitter wanting to make friends. That same day, Madison was coincidentally also at the Grove meeting fans of her own. They told Madison that Ale (the girl who threatened her on Twitter) was there and Madison sought her out to confront her irl. Ale was caught off guard and didn't expect to fight at the Grove of all places, hence the awkwardness. They talked everything out on the spot and were fine after.
this point definitely doesn’t compare to some of the larger devastating events she’s gone through but like after all of that, i can’t imagine people not even taking your sexuality label seriously. she came out as bisexual and people were like .. “nope. you’re not sorry.” like jesus christ, let the girl have ONE THING.
Listen I love Madison to pieces and have been following her since 2012-13, went to her concert but sadly didn’t get m&g tickets, but she herself said she isn’t bisexual in a live in like 2015
not to be like, a downer or an "uhm axshelly" kinda guy but ... unfortunately that is a very common experience for bisexuals. 🥲 it's either that or people just go "ok" and then sweep it under the rug and completely ~forget~ about it. it's a rite of passage, at this point.
@@selinkorkmaz1019 its almost like people are IN the closet and then COME OUT of the closet, thats kinda how this whole thing goes, that was 8 years ago and this is today
In his statement- he says: "if she didn't help me overcome my ways and change"..that is never, ever YOUR responsibility and if you feel this way about a partner, leave. Or at least seek therapy and support. It isn't healthy to feel the need to "help" someone else be a better person. There's a difference between growing together and changing over time VS expecting others to carry the responsibility of your shitty ways. I wish I would have learned this a long time ago. Sincerely- a former "ride or die" "you can fix him" woman.
To add a little extra context to the monster high thing (as a 12 year old goth at the time) if you had a subscription to the magazine, the We Are Monster High song was set up as a contest. The magazine had the lyrics and you could send in a video of you singing it for a chance to do what Madison ended up doing. I don’t recall seeing the confirmation of the “winner”. Just monster high posting the music video with Madison. It made sense they went for someone who was already in the industry but I remember how unfair it felt at the time. So I think that’s why there were so many kids with the “it should have been me” mentality.
As a tween I didn’t know how to describe when someone felt racist because I didn’t know what a micro aggression was, but Magcons existence felt like a hate crime even back then. Then came Shawn Mentos’ “Light skins are better” and everything that came out of the rest of their mouths, so…it was validated
This is perfect timing, recently she was trending on Twitter and I said to my sister, "People just be making bitches up. Who the hell is Madison Beer???" and my sister said "she's been around for like ten years???" and I was like "SINCE WHEN??????"
I also only realized who she was during the pandemic, just because she was on my fyp so much, and then learned I'd somehow missed her very established career for almost a decade
Lmao the fact that the girl became friends with Madison after that "fight" just shows Madison's character even more! That's iconic! I wished that I could win over my enemies
every time i go into one of these videos, i feel very lukewarm on the celebrity and by the end i realize that my impression of them is entirely based on the opinions of people on the internet who know nothing about these people. thank you for always being reasonable and empathetic in a space where that is not very common, and thank you for always reminded me to think twice before i judge someone famous based on what people say on the internet.
It took me a few hours after watching this to realize that when you said “she was supposed to be in the video” you didn’t mean YOUR video. I had completely accepted the new reality that you’re somehow connected to Madison Beer with no question
I wonder what attracts such a critical fanbase to women like madison beer and best dressed. it must be exhausting always having to apologize or address something that no one would care about if it was another public figure
This honestly made me tear up. This feel like your most objective observation of a celebrity, and its just so kind and understanding. I didn’t know much about Madison before watching this but I will definitely look into her more now. I HIGHLY suggest an Acacia Brinley deep dive next. She had a very similar start on the internet. Could be really interesting to have parallel story.
She is one of my favorite pop girlies out there. I have found a lot of comfort in her music and lyrics over the past four years and I think she honestly deserves way more than she has been given thus far. I hope people will at some point stop looking at her as just a pretty girl on social media and give her music a chance cause her vocals are truly incredible.
watching that David Dobrik clip where he jokes about her nudes scandal after in the video we just heard about how long it took her to heal from is really heartbreaking. like I know in the clip she goes along with the joke but it made me upset for her
it’s crazy and amazing how she remains so composed and mature and articulate in every clip (the one where the fan was threatening her online and even the audio), i honestly would have lost my shit or cried
I feel so bad for her. She's been through a lot of shit and the internet gave her hell, shit-piling and slut shaming her for being a conventionally attractive woman. The internet wouldn't let her rest, taking joy in destroying her image while she was trying to exist. This is truly something I will never understand nor forgive the whole world for it. My blood still boils when I see unnecessary hatred is thrown at all because its part of a stupid hate bandwagon.
Her mom’s the villain of this story, oof. Especially with the stuff about Colleen Ballinger coming to light, I totally get the “it’s weird to be besties with and heavily rely on a fan” take. There’s an inherent power imbalance in that relationship that could easily be taken advantage of.
@@suoutubez19 NO FR. I didn’t know about all of this stuff with her mom but she always posts about her and I thought her and her mom were close with this amazing relationship. Kind of sounds like her mom exploited her and didn’t protect her
@@heathermartin7459unfortunately it's often both. When an abuser is involved in your formative years, you can be really close to them and rely on them and defy them receiving justice for what they did to you while also knowing and seeing what they did to you as it is
you need to make a 5sos deep dive 🙏🏻 i just know it'll be hilarious and the fandom has many unhinged stories. madison was everywhere atp and i remember her being friends with them too lol
@@ashleynortonLuke Hemmings’ ex girlfriend Arzaylea deserves her own deep dive tbh.☠️ After her and Luke broke up, she dated Lil Peep… until he died. I heard she tried selling Lil Peep merch to make money afterwards?! I just remember it being MESSY🧍♀️
@@ashleynortonbeing a fan of theirs was honestly a mess and almost traumatic. the mess with them having groupies, beef with 5h, them trying hard to be respected as musicians but just being seen as kids, then their girlfriends… even till recently michael’s wife making group chats with young fans to get them to trend a hashtag against another member in the band. I love their music and have grown up being a fan but there’s been awful drama they have been through and caused.
THANK YOU! It was so god awful, while making fun of someone, I cannot believe he didn't get absolutely flamed for that. YOU have sh*t to say when you're acting like THAT?
I first found out about Madison Beer through this insane rumour that spread among my classmates when we were 13 that Madison was in a long distance relationship with one of the popular boys. I even saw her Facebook ‘page’ where ‘she’ took photos holding a white piece of paper with my classmates’ name on them. Me being an idiot 13 year old kind of believed it and was amazed that some up and coming singer affiliated with Justin Bieber was dating some random schoolboy from one of the poorest parts of London lmao. There was even some beef between imaginary-Madison and a popular girl who was pissed that she slid into her boyfriend’s inbox. I don’t know how that entire situation fell apart but a few years later I heard that it was all fake and some girl from our school had made a fake Facebook page. It is absolutely hysterical to look back on that entire situation because everybody in my year group was convinced. Even though this is obviously not a canon part of the Madison Beer lore, I still consider it to be.
On the plastic surgery subject I believe multiple plastic surgeons have already disagreed with Madison getting plastic surgery besides the lip fillers. So I’ll definitely believe them over insecure girls who want to blame naturally gorgeous woman for beauty standards. But that doesn’t take the credit away from the way you said it cuz you were right in both senses.
Really? I’ve seen videos of plastic surgeons pointing out the procedures she’s likely gotten. She looks very different in a way that can’t be chalked up to “puberty”. Maybe you are very young or just incredibly naive.
i get the biggest ick when people disregard celebrities’ mental health by saying, “what do they have to be depressed about, they have it all”. well, YOU trying being under the public eye 24/7 and getting scrutinised for simply existing and see how that affects your mental health. yes they have it all, they have the resources to get better, seek help, but dealing with mental health is not as easy as it seems. just because someone has more than you doesn’t mean you get to disregard their struggles. empathy is not supposed to be selective, we should be kinder towards everyone. and criticising for a valid reason is completely different than hating someone for no reason. madison genuinely deserves an apology from everyone
In her new album she talks about her home like describing her father as abusive and saying she tried to protect her brother and was sorry she left him in her childhood house
I remember when Madison’s nudes got leaked! She’s my age and it was my first experience hearing about someone’s having their revenge porn leaked and it was nauseating. Such a horrible thing for such a young girl to have gone through.
no one should have to experience so much misogyny & abuse, especially as a child. It’s horrible, and not to mention ILLEGAL, how people kept sharing those photos of her
I genuinely feel as though most of the intense hatred for Madison, especially from young girls, stems from jealousy and insecurity around physical appearance. I think because she was so young and went from being completely unknown to this huge up and coming celebrity overnight, a lot of people compared themselves to her as Ashley alluded to and wished that it was them getting discovered on youtube by Justin Bieber (even though that's not exactly how it happened). I feel like it just shows how much our obsession with beauty and celebrity, especially in regards to women, hurt everyone. I think it's difficult for people to see her as more than a conventionally attractive, thin white girl and believe that she too can have problems with body image, mental health, and in her personal life. She seems like a very sweet, resilient person and I hope people stop dogpiling on her
the misogyny of assuming Madison was too dumb to understand and appreciate Lolita for the right reasons even though she was a public figure as a young girl, and was sexualized from a young age is astounding
I’m only 40 min through and the fact that madison still interacts with the male species is astounding… she has been treated so badly over and over again. I would for sure be celibate forever oh my lord
another wonderful deep dive!!! the empathy you extend towards your deep dive subjects never fails to impress me. the way you treat them honestly helps remind me to be more empathetic, even towards celebrities. keep it up :) you’re the best and i’ll watch pretty much any content you put out LOL
I think that her biggest issue is her beauty. She’s just a breathtaking person, she’s VERY pretty and that causes a lot of negative reactions from people. She also has the face of a typical high school bully which make people hate her just by how she looks but she seems like a sweet girl. Sadly, people don’t want to see that and judge her based on how she looks and I also think thats why her music career hasn’t taken off, she’s not able to be taken seriously. Even being too pretty has its disadvantages.
I think pretty privilege is real but it’s fleeting and for as many real advantages it gives you in life, it also puts a very real target on your back for the absolute worst of humanity.
100% this, shes BEEN a pretty girl and i think the gut reaction for a lot of girls is to want to believe that there must be something faked there. i feel like shes almost 'too pretty' to be taken seriously which is unfortunate
Madison Beer reminds me of Megan Fox because they both shared the same issues. The film "Malena" did a great job analyzing how society treats beautiful women and they're often treated as a threat until either get married or dress themselves down.

wow David Dobrik really sucks. telling a woman you got off on what you thought was her underage, leaked nudes is not the compliment he thinks it is. she should've dropped him then!!

That’s literal child p
PUT him on the sex offender list.
He's so fucking weird
Wait, people were just sharing ***illegal*** nudes on Twitter? And then people dogpiled on the girl instead of the psycho that shared them? People are such trash.
And sadly it’s not the only time it happened. Acacia Brinley went through basically the same thing. Beyond gross
Pretty sure it happened to charli and Dixie damelio too
It's the one thing I hope our generation is better at. There's no reason at all for her to have gone through all that horrific trauma and adults let her down like that. I never want to go back to how women were portrayed even just 10 year ago. It's sad thinking how I and many other women grew up with this treatment normalized. Eugh!! I sure hope we can all continue to grow, and continue to not put down other women just because of internalized misogyny 👏
and david dobrick saying he did those things to videos of who he thought was a underage girl like wtf

people criticizing madison beer for saying her favorite book is Lolita even tho she herself was a girl being groomed and sexualized from the age of 13 feels......weird. like have we considered she maybe related to dolores in a way or are we just gonna assume the worst of her and also discredit this book that, while heavily portraying pedophilia, does not endorse it in any way and could resonate with a lot of young women who have been groomed by their own humberts
yeah, it’s also an objectively well written novel. you can like frankenstein without relating to dr frankenstein too.
Agree, but also agree with her response to people, like that dark subject matter can be fun for lotsa people, but some people can’t handle it and also I think she should revisit it personally and see if she still likes it and also try and see if she can find a book she likes better, because then she would be reading which is good for her and also rereading it she could have more insight and fun with it
Right? A lot of people with trauma tend to read books and watch movies that involve that trauma to see others' POVs even if they're fictional.
she also said that she was sa’ed and s** abused at age of 6, so sad…
thats not why she was criticized. after saying her favorite book was lolita during a livestream someone commented “please don’t tell me you romanticize lolita” to which she responded “i definitely do but we’re not gonna talk about that”…
“Gorgeous girl at 14.” Can we PLEASE stop this creepiness!!!

Madison reminds me so much of Megan Fox; both starting in the media at young ages and being overly sexualized aswell as hated by the media for not apparent reason than just being associated with other people, being completely judged by anything they did and didn't.
Her vibe always reminded me a bit of Megan Fox. I think she got a lot of intense hate out of jealousy
They both suck.
They both look alike. Maggie Lindemann has a similar story as well and she also kind of looks like both of them
it’s insane how society picks and chooses how to treat very pretty people. either you become a fav in hollywood or bullied relentlessly
It's envy cut and dry
As someone who only thought of Madison beer as "one of those tikTok girls who got famous for being pretty and doing dumb dance trends," this video has really opened my eyes to see that she's much, much more than that. From her abusive ex, to the leaked nudes, to the internet constantly dragging her name through the mud, ALL WHILE BEING A CHILD, I sincerely hope she is able to heal from everything she's been through and finds peace someday.
Am glad am not the only one who thought this 😅

I was familiar with her music to an extent and with the Ariana comparisons/the “I was supposed to be in the video!” Video, but I had no idea about any of the shit she’d been through.
I saw this post on Instagram “what’s a celebrity you hate for no reason” and Madison was the most common name. I was mostly appalled 98% names were women but this makes it so much worse.

i always find it weird when ppl hate on women like madison for "setting unrealistic beauty standards" because these beauty standards are rooted by misogyny. madison is not a perpetrator, she is a victim of misogyny with or without plastic surgery
also at this point in time, we need to move forward from villainising people who undergo cosmetic surgeries.
Yes cause why she is being blamed about a whole societal issue?? And one that also actively harms her??
I haaaaate when people say that a woman is pushing unrealistic beauty standards just because she happens to be one of the few who fulfils those standards
@@alwaysrootingfortheantihero123 she’s naturally stunning, but she’s certainly gotten something done.
i mean? one can be a victim and a perpetrator. i think the whole “setting unrealistic standards” thing is weird anyway, because it’s so bizarre to police people’s bodies like that. but you can be a victim and then perpetuate the harm.
I love Jack's argument of "Yeah, I verbally abused her, but she POSTED about it ANONYMOUSLY, so who is really the bad guy here?".
She is what she did was a very predatory form of manipulation
I’m a huge monster high fan and like…. If someone on the spot asked me to explain “frights , camera, action” in an interview my brain would melt? There’s a bunch of random shit that happens ?? And explaining any of it would give away the entire twist ?
She was just avoiding spoilers
frights camera action is such a hot mess tbh, i'm big into MH but its honestly one of the messiest movies (boovies) ive ever seen
dude the video of the girl screaming about how upset she is that madison is [allegedly] lying about having filler/plastic surgery is peak weirdo internet behavior imo.. very strange behavior to me
I genuinely hope she eventually talked to someone who could help her through her feelings instead of screaming online. Like, I sort of understand her point but her anger about it.... that's something else
And celebrities telling us they DID have surgery... doesn't change the fact they're still good looking lol
This section pissed me off SO much because they’re basically just getting mad at Madison for being beautiful. Like just Madison existing is apparently “setting unrealistic beauty standards”… so what, Madison should change her face and body to please them? Is that not the problem women are complaining about? If you’re not beautiful you need to change and if you’re too beautiful you need to change.
I can’t say whether Madison has had plastic surgery or uses photoshop or not but- I’ve seen plenty of women in person who are utterly gorgeous and have amazing bodies, it’s absolutely possible she really looks like that. The problem is how much society values beauty and makes women that aren’t beautiful feel worthless. The problem is that some girls feel bad because they’re not in the top 10% of beauty, not that those beautiful women exist.
I was looking for someone else talking about this. Very concerning for her to be that upset over another woman’s alleged filler and surgery. Screaming until your face turns red probably isn’t a healthy reaction lmfaoo. Embarrassing but hopefully she has grown since then.
and even if madison beer got surgeries which she didnt, she would still look like MADISON BEER, just with surgeries.

@@astroblast2325 thank you for doing the research 🙏 I wasn't sure but I thought that quote had been around for a bit before that time period. And also that era of pop culture twitter was so rife with people tweeting cute or funny quotes as their own tweets so it was so hard to tell who were the originators

I seriously doubt she came up with it, I saw it on tumblr back in like 2013 on t shirts
@@papadzulesI also saw Michael Clifford wearing a shirt that had that quote, but that was from around 2018
i think criticizing a girl whose body has been constantly scrutinized by grown ass people for her entire life for finding lolita particularly interesting is kind of fucking crazy. it's like people can't possible imagine this girl engaging in critical reading. maybe her words on the book weren't the best-thought but this assumption that someone's favorite book is their favorite because they relate to or agree with its narrator (especially in the case of a book like lolita!) is ridiculous.
they don't have critical thinking skills and no understanding of the book beyond the botched adaptations and they are going to take it out on everyone else.
i mean.. it's not like her words were taken out of context since she herself said she romanticized the book.
@@kwangya yeah but especially considering her life story and waht she went through at such a young age, i don't know why ppl feel they should hate her for it. A lot of survivors are drawn to this book and it's probably a big reason why it's legacy remains so strong despite the countless botched adaptations. Maybe she relates to Dolores in some ways, maybe it helps her make sense of her situation, maybe she answered without really considering the weight of the question since she was on instagram live ???
@@lisafenzi9739 it’s different to romanticize the book and appreciate it bc u relate to a character. she clearly said she romanticizes it. there’s not an excuse. what is there to romanticize as a survivor on a book that is all abt how a 12yo is being groomed by a middle aged man, especially when the book is written by the pov of the pedophile?
right. just because I watch a Jeffrey Dahmer movie, that doesn't mean I think serial killers are cool. people can like darker media without it being a reflection on them
Why did she have pay someone to take down videos of child porn? That’s fully what it was.
That girl being so riled up over whether madison's beauty is natural or not really screams jealousy imo

I hate that we terrorize under aged girls for sexualizing themselves as if we don't live in a society that tells girls from a very young age that their only worth as a female is their sexual currency.

I won't lie, i completely respect madison for confronting that girl and for the way she did. You'll notice at the end of the clip she offered to speak in private and i think that is a very mature thing to do. It's really sad that she had to mature so quickly and that she had to go through so much on her own; i dont know her parents (obviously) but i think they suck.
It's really sad she had to, and infuriating she didn't get credit for it. You're right, that was the most mature and open minded response. Given all the insane arguments on video today, she needs props for that
You sound very young
It sounds like she was so exploited in other peoples quest for fame. It’s sad to hear she was so unprotected from harassment and abuse. I hope she’s getting the support and love she deserves!
❤❤❤❤
The Lolita situation is so dumb. Madison should not have had to apologize for saying she liked it. It’s a good book. A very dark and upsetting book, but a good book nonetheless. It’s absolutely not for everyone, but it does not make her somehow a bad person for liking it.
I agree though I think her response was very thoughtful and kind.
I don’t think it was necessarily the fact that she likes the book that caused the backlash, but that she said she “definitely” romanticizes the novel
@@tinyh0rse Exactly. It's one thing to say you like the book because you understand the point of it. But it's... another to say you... "romanticize" it. That opens a whole other can of worms.
Her response, however, was very well though out and approached with grace. If what she said was true, that she read that book "several years ago" (Which means she read this book as a... child... oof), she definitely does need to read it again in a new light, with more mature and older eyes.
And from what I can glean from her past relationships... I can see why she "romanticized" it at first - to which I can fully understand. I really hope she has been, or will, heal from all that. Dealing with abuse is a severely damaging thing, especially if you were a child. It fucks you up psychologically in a way that is just... indescribable.
people weren't upset at her for liking the book. they were upset because she said she romanticizes it.
@@canariawingshe’s also a SA victim tho. of course romanticising it is icky, but i can kinda get why you’d want to reframe something like that and why she’d want to, even if i would never want to and don’t think it’s healthy. i still think her response was graceful though.
taylor caniff 100% reminds me of the guys that tried to hook up with me in HS, and when I rejected them, made it their life’s mission to sit behind me in every class and threat to “ruin my life with one picture”.
he would 100% be the guy you rejected who was originally like “you’re so pretty please go out with me” to “you’re so ugly. i would never go out with you.”
The adults who spread her photograph should be in jail for distributing & possession of child pornography that is also revenge porn. The amount of adults and teens who did this are sex offenders just because it’s online doesn’t excuse or make it not as bad. I think people don’t grasp that this is the case because it’s online and they can’t see the person and it gives them some sick power.
the girl in the tiktok about madison “lying about her facial surgery” needs to fucking take a chill pill. jesus
her getting rumors and hate BECAUSE OF A WATTPAD FIC is so insane to me like 1) the fic itself was probably written by some young teen with imaginary beef with Madison Beer (mind-boggling) and 2) people believed it?? What happens if people ask for source? They link the Wattpad fic? I don't know much about Madison Beer outside of K/DA but jeez her antis are on a different level of hating. I wonder what makes people dislike her so much?
It‘s insane bc to this day I still see people say those rumors without even knowing where they stem from
misogyny
I’m realizing a lot of negative feelings I had towards Madison Beer when she first became famous were based in jealousy and misogyny. I think she was treated horribly by boys and men, but also by women and girls who should’ve stood by her more but couldn’t because of this inherent competitiveness and jealousy that can tinge our acceptance of beautiful and successful girls/women. she embodies the pitfalls of that kind of anti-feminism, because I think some of the intense attacks come from people who see her living this wattpad dream and want to take that from her or make that dream less appealing by ruining it for her… I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I’m excited to. Also the whole nepotism angle is soooooo annoying because even if the rumors are true this is how so many artists lie or fudge things to seem like they are more home grown. To be honest compared to someone like Dakota Johnson or Lily Rose Depp, this nepotism is like the least egregious case ever.
Yyhyay
"She embodies the pitfalls of that kind of anti feminism" sounds like there is a kind of anti feminism that is good, so I hope ur journey is going well ❤️ lol
What do you mean by that she "embodies pitfalls of anti-feminism" can you elaborate please?
I agree, it was so awful!
@@Cyberfan2167 like she embodies the pitfalls of how people blinded by their own biased hate like oh shes a prettier girl thus i have to tear her down cuz that means im not as good that people were conditioned due to misogyny for eg, to see her as a person and just found whatever reason to get at her.
The whole plastic surgery thing is actually really weird because if you look at it pictures of her when she’s not super glam she looks pretty similar to her old pictures. Her eyebrows look the same her nose was always small with a flat slope and she always had strong bone structure. Her lips are also a lot smaller without make up when she’s talking and stuff. The whole scandal is kind of weird because everybody got mad at her for lying but I don’t think she was.
she definitely was and still is… I think people were mad because she claims to be a really transparent person. Which she is to a certain extent. She has become the beauty standard, and continues to perpetuate unrealistic standards by not admitting to surgery
@@renuschmaya It’s still dumb bc there’s no way to know for sure and people are mad at her like she’s a confirmed liar. Only thing that looks different is her lips which she already admitted. She definitely could’ve been telling the truth
yeah im not an expert but i think the way she does her makeup gives her a "plastic surgery" sort of look in a lot of pics and videos (in my opinion she uses waaay too much contouring and highlighter on her nose, it makes it look super skinny like she had a bad nosejob but i dont think she actually did)
She kind of reminds me of Megan Fox, not just in looks but with all of the horrible stuff they went through, and the hate they both received from just ... being extremely pretty.
True but Madison is more beautiful than Megan, objectively.
@@essies4294I'll take "Completely missing the point" for 500 points!

Also, I really love these kinds of videos. Not to sound parasocial, but it reminds me of hanging out with your slightly tipsy friend as she infodumps about the internet rabbit hole she went down a few days ago.

1:09:30 - This girl’s misplaced, projected anger is disturbing. That level of vitriol for a stranger is a terrifying example of parasocial obsession. An average person would get a restraining order against someone screeching at and about them that way. Unacceptable behavior, even for a teenager.

the “unrealistic beauty standards” complaint is so tired, no one owes you an explanation of their medical history just because they’re beautiful. also there are ways to change your face without surgery and filler, madison clearly has strong facial muscles, which is one of the reasons she looks so good. what are these girls gonna do when they find out some people are born good looking?
Everyone hates a stunning beauty. Sad but true.
Right? Everytime I see that, it's almost always directed at someone who is more or less naturally gorgeous with genetic lottery. I assume everyone in Hollywood, men, women, and dogs, have gotten cosmetic procedures but they're not miracle cures. Look at Khloe Kardashian. She's gotten a lot of work done, it's SUPER obvious, and she looks Uncanny Valley whereas someone naturally beautiful, like Madison, doesn't have that same appeal.
And Madison looks like her baby pictures even if something aesthetic was done it's close to her natural face 🤷♀️
And even if she did have plastic surgery, then people would call her fake. Natural or not, she can't win.
and the crazy part is she was always gorgeous and faces develop so much over a life, i used to have a huge nose and it shrunk down as my face filled out, i cannot imagine what ppl would say of if i was famous like dissecting my features… so sad
Not far into the video at all and already put off by the news man saying “gorgeous girl at 13” idk if that was necessary sir
Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one
Totally agree. That was probably just the tip of the iceberg
madison beer they could never make me hate you
I will never stop defending Madison. She’s never made her personality and brand to be centered around the way she looks, she’s also extremely talented and makes some pretty good music, I very much enjoyed her album and her book. She’s an intelligent and well spoken girl who uses her privileged position to speak out about important issues like mental health and the dark side of Hollywood. She’ll forever be an inspiration me.💖
People literally hate this girl...because she's pretty...that's all I got from people constantly attacking her.
it genuinely irks me that people still overlook her talents and see her as this pretty online influencer when clearly she's more than that??? THIS GIRL CAN SING AND WRITE
The more I see deep dives about influencers who were online from a young age, and the more I realize how many adults failed and even worsened the trauma that these young kids went through. Madison went through so much awful shit at incredibly formative years in her life. She’s a very strong woman
Has that boy who leaked the pictures ever been called out? What a terrible person. Shame on him, and I hope he's faced some consequences...
Clarifying the alegriers drama (as someone who witnessed it real time): Ale was a magcon stan living in LA. She had constant run ins with the guys, not enough to be close or anything but they definitely remembered her from meeting so many times. Hated Madison for whatever reason (at the time she said Madison was rude to her friends). Ale had a fan meet up at the Grove - just a bunch of teens on twitter wanting to make friends. That same day, Madison was coincidentally also at the Grove meeting fans of her own. They told Madison that Ale (the girl who threatened her on Twitter) was there and Madison sought her out to confront her irl. Ale was caught off guard and didn't expect to fight at the Grove of all places, hence the awkwardness. They talked everything out on the spot and were fine after.
Thank you for the context! What I would give to have seen that go down irl
this point definitely doesn’t compare to some of the larger devastating events she’s gone through but like after all of that, i can’t imagine people not even taking your sexuality label seriously. she came out as bisexual and people were like .. “nope. you’re not sorry.” like jesus christ, let the girl have ONE THING.
Listen I love Madison to pieces and have been following her since 2012-13, went to her concert but sadly didn’t get m&g tickets, but she herself said she isn’t bisexual in a live in like 2015
not to be like, a downer or an "uhm axshelly" kinda guy but ... unfortunately that is a very common experience for bisexuals. 🥲 it's either that or people just go "ok" and then sweep it under the rug and completely ~forget~ about it.
it's a rite of passage, at this point.

In his statement- he says: "if she didn't help me overcome my ways and change"..that is never, ever YOUR responsibility and if you feel this way about a partner, leave. Or at least seek therapy and support. It isn't healthy to feel the need to "help" someone else be a better person. There's a difference between growing together and changing over time VS expecting others to carry the responsibility of your shitty ways. I wish I would have learned this a long time ago. Sincerely- a former "ride or die" "you can fix him" woman.
Thank you for doing the investigations police are too inept and cowardly to attempt
this is some powerful work that youtubers are doing indeed
To add a little extra context to the monster high thing (as a 12 year old goth at the time) if you had a subscription to the magazine, the We Are Monster High song was set up as a contest. The magazine had the lyrics and you could send in a video of you singing it for a chance to do what Madison ended up doing. I don’t recall seeing the confirmation of the “winner”. Just monster high posting the music video with Madison. It made sense they went for someone who was already in the industry but I remember how unfair it felt at the time.
So I think that’s why there were so many kids with the “it should have been me” mentality.
Such a good video, I'm so glad you got around to making it. Thanks for the shoutout as well!
Faaaves!!
As a tween I didn’t know how to describe when someone felt racist because I didn’t know what a micro aggression was, but Magcons existence felt like a hate crime even back then. Then came Shawn Mentos’ “Light skins are better” and everything that came out of the rest of their mouths, so…it was validated
This is perfect timing, recently she was trending on Twitter and I said to my sister, "People just be making bitches up. Who the hell is Madison Beer???" and my sister said "she's been around for like ten years???" and I was like "SINCE WHEN??????"
I also only realized who she was during the pandemic, just because she was on my fyp so much, and then learned I'd somehow missed her very established career for almost a decade
@@ashleynortonfunnily enough she‘s one of the only celebrities I‘ve known for almost her entire career, I felt like I grew up with her
Lmao the fact that the girl became friends with Madison after that "fight" just shows Madison's character even more! That's iconic! I wished that I could win over my enemies
every time i go into one of these videos, i feel very lukewarm on the celebrity and by the end i realize that my impression of them is entirely based on the opinions of people on the internet who know nothing about these people. thank you for always being reasonable and empathetic in a space where that is not very common, and thank you for always reminded me to think twice before i judge someone famous based on what people say on the internet.
It took me a few hours after watching this to realize that when you said “she was supposed to be in the video” you didn’t mean YOUR video. I had completely accepted the new reality that you’re somehow connected to Madison Beer with no question
She actually was supposed to be in my video. But she was in miami and couldnt make it
I wonder what attracts such a critical fanbase to women like madison beer and best dressed. it must be exhausting always having to apologize or address something that no one would care about if it was another public figure
It's really sad. Best dressed's situation still pisses me off
This honestly made me tear up. This feel like your most objective observation of a celebrity, and its just so kind and understanding.
I didn’t know much about Madison before watching this but I will definitely look into her more now.
I HIGHLY suggest an Acacia Brinley deep dive next. She had a very similar start on the internet. Could be really interesting to have parallel story.
I've done an acacia deep dive! It's one of my older videos so the quality is not the same. But yes, a lot of parallels in the saddest ways
She is one of my favorite pop girlies out there. I have found a lot of comfort in her music and lyrics over the past four years and I think she honestly deserves way more than she has been given thus far. I hope people will at some point stop looking at her as just a pretty girl on social media and give her music a chance cause her vocals are truly incredible.
Her new album is amazing. Looks like she will finally get the recognition she deserves
the title was too good for me not to immediately click on this video as soon as i got the notification
watching that David Dobrik clip where he jokes about her nudes scandal after in the video we just heard about how long it took her to heal from is really heartbreaking. like I know in the clip she goes along with the joke but it made me upset for her
it’s crazy and amazing how she remains so composed and mature and articulate in every clip (the one where the fan was threatening her online and even the audio), i honestly would have lost my shit or cried
I feel so bad for her. She's been through a lot of shit and the internet gave her hell, shit-piling and slut shaming her for being a conventionally attractive woman. The internet wouldn't let her rest, taking joy in destroying her image while she was trying to exist. This is truly something I will never understand nor forgive the whole world for it. My blood still boils when I see unnecessary hatred is thrown at all because its part of a stupid hate bandwagon.
Her mom’s the villain of this story, oof. Especially with the stuff about Colleen Ballinger coming to light, I totally get the “it’s weird to be besties with and heavily rely on a fan” take. There’s an inherent power imbalance in that relationship that could easily be taken advantage of.
I agree, and the fact that she puts her mom on a pedestal is so sad.
@@suoutubez19 NO FR. I didn’t know about all of this stuff with her mom but she always posts about her and I thought her and her mom were close with this amazing relationship. Kind of sounds like her mom exploited her and didn’t protect her
@@heathermartin7459unfortunately it's often both. When an abuser is involved in your formative years, you can be really close to them and rely on them and defy them receiving justice for what they did to you while also knowing and seeing what they did to you as it is
you need to make a 5sos deep dive 🙏🏻 i just know it'll be hilarious and the fandom has many unhinged stories. madison was everywhere atp and i remember her being friends with them too lol
Honestly writing that down. I was not a 5sos girlie so I will gladly accept leads from people
@@ashleynortonLuke Hemmings’ ex girlfriend Arzaylea deserves her own deep dive tbh.☠️ After her and Luke broke up, she dated Lil Peep… until he died. I heard she tried selling Lil Peep merch to make money afterwards?! I just remember it being MESSY🧍♀️
ew no thanks
@@ashleynortonbeing a fan of theirs was honestly a mess and almost traumatic. the mess with them having groupies, beef with 5h, them trying hard to be respected as musicians but just being seen as kids, then their girlfriends… even till recently michael’s wife making group chats with young fans to get them to trend a hashtag against another member in the band. I love their music and have grown up being a fan but there’s been awful drama they have been through and caused.
@@the_reaper07WHAT is this about Michael's wife?? That's unhinged!
Hearing that “freestyle rap”?????? Was so painful
THANK YOU! It was so god awful, while making fun of someone, I cannot believe he didn't get absolutely flamed for that. YOU have sh*t to say when you're acting like THAT?
I first found out about Madison Beer through this insane rumour that spread among my classmates when we were 13 that Madison was in a long distance relationship with one of the popular boys. I even saw her Facebook ‘page’ where ‘she’ took photos holding a white piece of paper with my classmates’ name on them. Me being an idiot 13 year old kind of believed it and was amazed that some up and coming singer affiliated with Justin Bieber was dating some random schoolboy from one of the poorest parts of London lmao. There was even some beef between imaginary-Madison and a popular girl who was pissed that she slid into her boyfriend’s inbox. I don’t know how that entire situation fell apart but a few years later I heard that it was all fake and some girl from our school had made a fake Facebook page. It is absolutely hysterical to look back on that entire situation because everybody in my year group was convinced. Even though this is obviously not a canon part of the Madison Beer lore, I still consider it to be.
Jealousy is a horrible thing
Its not jealousy, its envy
@@kayadimariayeah. Still horrible
1:00:19 “Two women can have similar styles and exist without being pitted against one another” SAY IT LOUDER
Also, that tweet at 28:51 is so iconic and still holds true today. I would totally buy that merch if it existed!
Madison is such a sweetheart, I wish nothing but genuine happiness for her. The girl deserves it
On the plastic surgery subject I believe multiple plastic surgeons have already disagreed with Madison getting plastic surgery besides the lip fillers. So I’ll definitely believe them over insecure girls who want to blame naturally gorgeous woman for beauty standards. But that doesn’t take the credit away from the way you said it cuz you were right in both senses.
Really? I’ve seen videos of plastic surgeons pointing out the procedures she’s likely gotten. She looks very different in a way that can’t be chalked up to “puberty”. Maybe you are very young or just incredibly naive.
@@user-oc7dd7oy5m Lmao that’s just not true💀 also makeup, lighting, different cameras, and angles exist.
@@user-oc7dd7oy5mat least 4 or 5 surgeons confirmed she didn‘t have surgery
@@user-oc7dd7oy5min what ways? to me she looks the same just more chiseled
IVE BEEEEEEN SAYING THISSSSSS FOR YEARS!!!!
i get the biggest ick when people disregard celebrities’ mental health by saying, “what do they have to be depressed about, they have it all”. well, YOU trying being under the public eye 24/7 and getting scrutinised for simply existing and see how that affects your mental health. yes they have it all, they have the resources to get better, seek help, but dealing with mental health is not as easy as it seems. just because someone has more than you doesn’t mean you get to disregard their struggles. empathy is not supposed to be selective, we should be kinder towards everyone. and criticising for a valid reason is completely different than hating someone for no reason. madison genuinely deserves an apology from everyone
not only was the whole internet horrible to her, her parents were of no use as well...
In her new album she talks about her home like describing her father as abusive and saying she tried to protect her brother and was sorry she left him in her childhood house
I remember when Madison’s nudes got leaked! She’s my age and it was my first experience hearing about someone’s having their revenge porn leaked and it was nauseating. Such a horrible thing for such a young girl to have gone through.
no one should have to experience so much misogyny & abuse, especially as a child. It’s horrible, and not to mention ILLEGAL, how people kept sharing those photos of her
She is so overhated imo it‘s a mix of jealousy and misogyny. She‘s underrated as a musician
I genuinely feel as though most of the intense hatred for Madison, especially from young girls, stems from jealousy and insecurity around physical appearance. I think because she was so young and went from being completely unknown to this huge up and coming celebrity overnight, a lot of people compared themselves to her as Ashley alluded to and wished that it was them getting discovered on youtube by Justin Bieber (even though that's not exactly how it happened). I feel like it just shows how much our obsession with beauty and celebrity, especially in regards to women, hurt everyone. I think it's difficult for people to see her as more than a conventionally attractive, thin white girl and believe that she too can have problems with body image, mental health, and in her personal life. She seems like a very sweet, resilient person and I hope people stop dogpiling on her
WHAT THE HELL IS BY AVRIL NOT P!NK
Omigosh im ashamed. I apologize for the Avril erasure 😞
sounds like taylor was mad she hook up with “everyone” except him lmao
the misogyny of assuming Madison was too dumb to understand and appreciate Lolita for the right reasons even though she was a public figure as a young girl, and was sexualized from a young age is astounding
She's absolutely stunning. I feel bad for her because of the jealousy and internalised misogyny of her peers.
I’m only 40 min through and the fact that madison still interacts with the male species is astounding… she has been treated so badly over and over again. I would for sure be celibate forever oh my lord
Thank you for giving KDA the absolute purest love it deserves
im actually in love w ur account. the way u talk about these people's lives w such empathy i genuinely admire
You are doing such important work for us (gay people)
It’s been 5 months and I’m still healing from “what the hell by pink”
another wonderful deep dive!!! the empathy you extend towards your deep dive subjects never fails to impress me. the way you treat them honestly helps remind me to be more empathetic, even towards celebrities. keep it up :) you’re the best and i’ll watch pretty much any content you put out LOL
I think that her biggest issue is her beauty. She’s just a breathtaking person, she’s VERY pretty and that causes a lot of negative reactions from people. She also has the face of a typical high school bully which make people hate her just by how she looks but she seems like a sweet girl. Sadly, people don’t want to see that and judge her based on how she looks and I also think thats why her music career hasn’t taken off, she’s not able to be taken seriously. Even being too pretty has its disadvantages.
Yep, pretty privilege is a myth
I think pretty privilege is real but it’s fleeting and for as many real advantages it gives you in life, it also puts a very real target on your back for the absolute worst of humanity.
100% this, shes BEEN a pretty girl and i think the gut reaction for a lot of girls is to want to believe that there must be something faked there. i feel like shes almost 'too pretty' to be taken seriously which is unfortunate
Madison Beer reminds me of Megan Fox because they both shared the same issues. The film "Malena" did a great job analyzing how society treats beautiful women and they're often treated as a threat until either get married or dress themselves down.
As a monster high fan I too believe everything Madison Beer did in that era is iconic
i cannot begin to describe the happiness that fills my heart whenever you post!!!!! keep up the amazing work :3
You should capitalize the the first letters of words at the beginning of sentences.
young girls just need to accept that some girls really are that pretty. the beauty standard does exist it’s just rare.
