Your video is great. I’m glad you’re talking about this because it was something that also greatly upset me as there were times where I was also briefly homeless. If Shannon would have maybe used a different word, something like nomad like you said, I think people would have had a very different interpretation of what was going on.
They wanted to save money and didn’t like the “culture” in California because there were people from all walks of life there and I guess that pissed them off? What also offended me was at the end of Anthony’s video, he essentially talked about how if you don’t give up everything else for music/art then you’re a sell out and just doing it for the money… ironic.
One of Shannon’s lolcow posts brags about how she “probably makes at least 20k a month” and how she must have “moved into a much nicer place” because she hasn’t been complaining about noisy neighbors. It infuriated me.
Thank you for sharing this. My heart was with you throughout the video. ❤️
Thank you for being brave enough to share what you went through
Hey Emily, we support and love you so much! This whole situation is so beyond mind-blowing and unacceptable. I hope you're handling and coping with this as well as can be expected, and experiencing lots of love and support. Take care xo
Emily please drink some water you look so dehydrated in your video and I'm sending you and your family much love
Emily, I am not a regular watcher of the art commentary community here on RUclips, however your story has reached so many and I just want to tell you from one woman to another, from one mother to another, how brave you are for finally coming forward and telling your story, even the parts that aren't so pretty. It takes a lot of courage to be that vulnerable in front of millions of strangers, and I commend you. I'm so sorry you've had to endure this kind of trauma, and I truly hope this is the start of freedom and healing for you. 🙏 She cannot hurt you anymore. ❤
@@SarahSmith-mu1wc I love your energy have a good day or night and make sure to drink water
She seemed like such a sweet person when I found her....
right? i never would have expected all this when i started supporting her before.
the mask never slipped when you were paying attention unfortunately
@@yumerei_vt same
I feel so bad because I still like her work and she can be funny sometimes, but I don't want to support someone who hurts people like this :(
I watched a handful of her videos, but I didn't want to continue after she basically spent most of her time calling people out in a way that would escalate the situation. It was no longer just reporting information, or giving her opinion, it was about starting stuff with other creators. And then she would have the audacity to be all woe is me when the people she was calling out would clap back. It's not harrasment honey, you told them to @ you.
Edit: a word
Shannon continously used her homelessness to get her fans to feel bad for her. she brought it up so much and I remember watching her videos and feeling so sorry for her and her situation. she victimized herself and made no clarification that her homelessness was by choice. she fully allowed and encouraged her fans to believe she was suffering from a forced and sudden loss of shelter, and thats rly fucked up/manipulative. I can't believe she was able to get away with this shit for so long and I'm glad she's finally losing her platform/influence.
edit: I'm being told she did clarify that she was homeless by choice in some videos, but that still doesn't excuse the way she used her homelessness to manipulate her fanbase into feeling bad for her.
she made a clarification once or twice (I've heard it in some videos) but she quickly brushed that away by victimising herself,, i didn't even remember until my gf and i were looking back through her videos mentioning her "homelessness" because we were bothered by it too so it absolutely feels like she "clarified" it purely to cover her ass if someone challenged her about it
@@Gxylord yep the way she talked about it, having ptsd from it etc... she milked it.
@@XYZ-kb3mm yeah definitely,, it's horrible
No she definitely clarified it in at least one video that I know of
@@dezs.5202 yeah she did, my gripe is that she brushed it off so quickly by moving onto a different point with her "homelessness", so it was easy to miss/forget, and the fact she called it homelessness at all when she'd chosen to live that way...
Okay so as a person who has struggled with homelessness and literally watched creepshow art because she struggled with the same thing that I struggled with and then finding out that she literally just possibly did it for the aesthetic makes me feel so angry and disappointed. like I get that this all might be alleged but my God I feel like someone just punched me in the stomach because I did absolutely look up to creepshow art and thought if she could get through it that I could get through it I just I don't even know man
Same, I found her channel while looking for content I could relate to while homeless. Though I do remember a few red flags popping up, but chalking it up to “Well, everyone’s situation is different”. Such as her talking about having a vehicle to live in, and giving advice about getting a gym membership so she could shower. Meanwhile, I couldn’t even afford a dollar menu meal, and was getting sore throats constantly from having to brush my teeth in public restrooms.
What's worse is I distinctly remember thinking "Wow, how come everyone else seems to know what they're doing except for me, even other homeless people? How come she can afford a car to live in but I can't? What am I doing wrong, I wish I was as put together as her". The irony.
Same
I mean, I don't go as far as to say I was homeless (I couchsurfed @ my brother's ex-girlfriend's, then lived with my friend's until I moved in with my brother), but like, man. Shannon talking about her "Homelessness" was why I initially subbed. Like...fuck.
@@Omnihilo_ sorry you went through that, hope you are ok now and remember tomorrow will be better 💜
@@CalitmeDiondell I actually recently moved into my first apartment! (Well, technically not my first, but my first without help from section 8). I'm very excited! I'm planning on starting an art commentary channel, and actually just got a piece for my mic in the mail today. Thank you for the well wishes.
I am in the exact same situation. The only reason I was subscribed to her is because she put on this air of healing from trauma and being an empath to all types of people, and I thought I could relate with her. This whole situation is incredibly off-putting..... I feel gross
Why isn't anybody talking about the supposed nudes that Creepshow Art has??? Like? Everybody is ignoring that and that's just as disgusting if not worse -_-
Omg yeah you’re right, and some of photos were of Emily as a MINOR!
Ikr, as if she doesn't supposedly have explicit images of A CHILD 😳😳😳
Literal cp, she should be arrested, that and blackmailing (she dangled the images over Emily’s head to scare her)
to be honest I was wondering the same thing. that's literally illegal
If you have enough info, you can send in a report to IC3 online anonymously. IIRC it's the cybercrime division of the FBI. You'll need info like her name, usernames, possibly email etc, and whatever you have to solidify the claims - but that's at least better than nothing and should get them to look at her, at least.
God, that's disgusting.
I was homeless when i was around 10 for 2 years. it was one of the hardest times in my life, wearing the same clothes, barely eating, and living in god awful shelters (which is something don't get my wrong! but they really sucked) etc..
the fact that Shannon would use being homeless as a scapegoat when criticized is disgusting. you CAN be without a home by choice imo. its a minimalist lifestyle, that's cool... But using it to absolve you of criticism is gross, especially when acting like it wasn't by choice
ive had awful living situations since about 6 years old (im 16), and was homeless at 13 for a few months. im only now finally able to move into a good home. shannons story about being homeless rlly resonated with me because i found her not long after i had been homeless myself and she was the first youtuber i found that was open abt it. the fact that she lied has really fucked me up tbh. i dont know why but it has.
im sorry u had to go through all that, its rlly tough and i couldnt imagine being homeless for any longer than i had been let alone 2 years.
I guess u ran away from home
lets ask why
answer: you ran away from home
so what if they did? It's still a few months w/o a home which really sucks
@@goobigi i literally didn’t even run away either and idk why ppl are thinking that. we were evicted and it took months for the council to find us a new place to stay (which they only did bc i was a minor)
I just want to point out, depending on where you are or what gyms are in your area, you might be able to get a membership for 10-20$. Homelessness is messy, scary and not always a one size fits all scenario, so depending on the specifics of your situation, that advice isn't completely unsound. Ive got my own experiences, and unfortunately, I've met a lot of homeless ppl, its sad to say how many of them have jobs but live in tents or cars cuz they can't afford anything long term. That being said, misrepresenting nomadic life as Homelessness is deplorable, but I'm not surprised at this point as it seems misrepresenting things is a personality trait of Shannon's.
When I was homeless I showered and changed at school. Sadly the gym membership in my area is 50 per person a month and that would kill me and my husabnd
you're right on this one, like i 100% know what creep was talking about with the gym membership to shower- i also live in portland (where she was "homeless") and depending on the gym it could be $5 a month, the one closest to me in 5$ a month, so i understand why she gave the advice. there's another one near me that's $15 a month even but the more prestigious gyms like LA-fitness are $55 a month and that's just insane if you're struggling already
the absolute cheapest is probably planet fitness and is $10 a month plus a $39 basic fee. Otherwise, it is maybe $20-50 a month PLUS various other fees that are usually well over 100+ up front. This is also usually contracted. Meaning they can't cancel without having to pay other fees.
This may be very true of places in the us, and im definitely not trying to undermine the point about being understanding about peoples situations. I will say where shannon was at the time it is very expensive to have a monthy gym membership, especially one nice/big enough to have showers. Portland/Tigard oregon dont have the highest cost of living, but some things like rent and gyms tend to be very expensive comparatively. So for her experiences it was unlikely to be a cheap option.
@@leopardshadow333 If she had access to a Planet Fitness, those can be as cheap as 10 dollars a month and, pre covid, most had 24/7 open access to members.
It's the cheapest gym in my area.
You know, lately I have been thinking that Creepshow Art doesn't really care about art all that much. She started her channel just drawing and talking about artists stuff and that was fine, but the bigger she got it's like art just became a secondary thing to keep shitting out content as frequently as possible to please the algorythm. She didn't even payed all the people who offered their own footage for the videos, despite the speedrawing being literally 50% of her video when she didn't edited some screenshot if ever. It just doesn't compute with someone who claims to be passionate about art and really cares about it.
There is especulation that she started the whole channel only as a way to spite Emily, so maybe she only ever started drawing for the exact same reason. That would explain her lost of interest.
That would explain why her art never improved
@@schlubenno3827 That too. Why improve or work too much on the art if people were going simply for the commentary?
Yeah, I thought the whole thing was so shameless, even to use other peoples speeddrawings in the first place, like how lazy can you be? Sometimes I was like "oh wow, this doesn't even look like such a sloppy, lazy doodle as usual, she improved so much!" just to find out it wasn't even her drawing it. Literally shitting out quick, lazy, money-milking content.
Honestly I think it's likely she lied about having a job outside of youtube too to avoid people calling her out on being a content farm
I’ve literally seen her use the same speed paint at 50% speed in 3 different videos, she’s done this many times too. That and featuring other speed paints on her channel felt incredibly lazy to me even when I was a fan of hers.
The message you said at the end about how we shouldn't feel bad for supporting her in the past made me feel better. Since all of this happened, I've felt gullible and extremely betrayed because I thought she was an honest RUclipsr who wasn't afraid to speak her mind when it comes to the truth. But nope, she ended up being one of the biggest liars instead. I haven't watched her recently, I discovered her a year ago and I was really invested in her content. I still felt really gullible though that one of my favorite art RUclipsrs turned out to be so disgusting, but I'm starting to get over it now.
Youre not the only one. I was a big fan of her too. And finding out she lied about being homeless was the final straw. Its not something you joke about
You're not alone, I really looked up to shannon and she was one of my favourite youtubers and i enjoyed most of her videos but all of these things coming out about her rlly makes me feel so betrayed, like, all the information about what's going on came from her, she's the reason I knew about the shane dawson drama and a lot of other important things happening and to find out that she was just lying and abusing another artist? That was so not cool and ofc I won't be supporting Shannon anymore but I'm just really sad about all of this and i feel so lied to
TBH I thought she had some bad/too harsh takes sometimes and didn't really like her, but I always thought she was at least honest. Turns out I was wrong.
honestly feel the same, i even still was a fan after the hopeless peaches situation thinking she'll be better. boy was I wrong
We've all been manipulated, obviously not in the same way emily was
I remember she made it seem like there was no option because of student loans thus they had to live in their car. Definitely didn't seem like it was by choice
she even framed her language so deliberately to make it sem like she "admitted" it without providing details of it in an honest way. She says "i did it because I could not afford rent" as opposed to a deliberate planned decision for two years prior. Repulsive and milking sympathy. Worked on me at the time.. yuck.
I have only watched this video so i dont know much but to me it doesnt sound like one have to exclude the other. Im NOT saying this because i like her. I had a friend when i was a kid who lived with his mom in a trailer. She chose to move into a trailer because she needed to save rent money to be able to keep her child and her dog. So she chose it but still there was reeally~ no other choice. Idk if it makes any sense tho and idk Shannons story at all but im just saying
@@iris6922 Oh yes it makes sense. I got a bad vibe from CSA because of something else entirely but I definitely was a fan before and watched all her content. I think until she moved fully into drama. The point being that her husband had a video up (He privated it now) where he explained that they prepared for this thoroughly. While at some point, I am not sure why, Shannon changed the narrative to make it seem like there really was no option. I understand doing something by choice and getting traumatized by it is not mutually exclusive. But she wasn't homeless. She was living that Van life. It came across as looking for sympathy points when we have the video of Anthony Parker talking about how to set up expensive recording rigs in a car.
I was absolutely gobsmacked when Emily exposed this, that’s such a disgusting thing to fake for pity. It gives me “rich boy from the suburbs that likes to pretend he’s a gangster from the hood” energy but worse.
Shannon pretended to be homeless like I pretend to be talented
@@themyofmy Oop. Same girl same
@@themyofmy Hey, you're not talented since that's what someone's born with, but you've worked hard to develop skills in your artwork and singing, which you're noticeably quite good at.
I knew something was fishy the moment she made that gym membership recommendation. I’m in fucking Alabama and the cheapest gym close to me is $65 a month. Idk I of course didn’t question her though, because I was blinded by the facade she’d constructed.
Do you have Planet Fitness? I thought they were like 10 a month. Ish.
@@labella9291 she did say it was Planet Fitness IIRC, and they are $10 a month.
@@labella9291 I used to work there and while it is $10 a month you still have starter fees that are over $100 at signing and its a pain to cancel.
@@txranchmom I used to go there, and I agree it's a pain to cancel. I finally had to get a new card, and deny all charges from them, because they wouldn't stop, and this is after I moved to a city an hour and a half away from where I used to live.
I actually probably have them on my credit score somewhere, lol.
But it didn't cost me much in fees. I think it was 15 dollars to sign up, and then 10 dollars for the first month and MAYBE some weird 5 dollar fee for something?? It was in total under 35 dollars as I recall, but this was also over a decade ago, so there's that, lol.
I'll have to ask my daughter what the recent fees are like. I know she goes there. I actually think she has black membership?? Whatever it's called, that allows you to bring a friend and go to other PF gyms... So of course her fees would be higher than mine were. But that would give me a close enough refresher, if that makes sense, lol
@@labella9291 Mine was also much cheaper to sign up and I just got a new membership 3 months ago-I've also had one a few years ago. They have deals all the time where they drop the signing fees. But the annual fee is something like 30-40 dollars in addition to the monthly fees, but I wasn't charged with that until a few weeks after initially signing up. So I was only initially charged with the prorated membership for the month I started in.
I suppose if you start at a bad time with no deals, it could be around $100 for the sign up fee, annual fee, and first month's payment all together. And it's not as big of a pain to cancel as it used to be. Most plans have free cancellation-but you do have to cancel in-person at the original PF you signed up at.
It may still be a hassle for a homeless person to sign up though. since they want a bank account nowadays to sign up. You can't just give them a debit card-they want direct bank account info in case your debit card expires or runs out of money. Really, not at all the best option for someone homeless for financial reasons.
The whole homeless thing bothers me because of how hard she made it out to be. Obviously, homelessness is going to be difficult, but they literally chose that life! Any struggles they went through because of that were because of a choice they made to pay off debt or whatever rather than having somewhere to live. It's literally the choice they made. If you go through that kind of trauma and have the option to not be homeless, you'd chose to not be homeless.
It's like being on holiday abroad and sending out a sad tweet 'I can't sleep at home tonight'. It's a case of 'technically true' but also very manipulative. What's actually going on vs what they imply is really different.
I understand going through traumatic experiences, even when caused by a choice, but her phrasing was misleading on purpose. If she was honest (obviously, not something she seems capable of, to my dismay- I used to adore her), she'd have said "I chose to live like this because of debt, but still had these traumatic experiences I wish I could take back and now have to work through.
My heart goes out to those who have to deal with that every day with no way out."
She probably doesn't even care, though, is the problem.
Disabled people don’t choose to be so broke they become homeless...
@@jilliancenteno2269 Some disabled people do. But that’s not the point. The comment is saying that Creepshowart chose to be homeless, not all homeless people. The original commenter used they/them pronouns because I believe it’s what Creepshow is most comfortable with.
I know this comment is old but I just wanted to clarify that.
Yes! Homelessness is no joke and for me finally coming to the realization that she WASNT homeless, it was a CHOICE of a lifestyle yet she USED it as an excuse so many times makes me feel so disgusted!!!!!! I am reeling through all this as a former fan, I seriously can't imagine how Emily and others who knew her more personally are feeling.
Yeah, I found out through this video here and I'm honestly hurt by how she lied about it for sympathy. I was homeless as a teenager because of toxic parents kicking me out and it was terrible and I almost died because of it.
I felt bad for CSA and even considered donating to her like she really made me feel bad for her. And now I find this shit out like damn. It's fucked up.
Unfortunately creepshow deleted this storytime but from my memory there was a storytime that was like "homeless christmas storytime" (that is not the exact title if anyone else remembers this let me know).
It was a storytime where she discussed a cute/wholesome moment between her and her husband while they were homeless during Christmas. In the beginning she talked about how they both made the decision to move out of California and to Oregon and live out of their cars so they can save money (because according to her they had a lot of debt so it was smarter for them to live out of their car until they can make rent). There was also a part where she said it was hard being homeless but because her husband was with her it made the experience manageable something like that. It disappointed me knowing she led people on saying she was homeless without any choice even thought she claimed many times it was a decision her and her husband made.
This was an older storytime and I think she deleted it early on before everything went downhill (along with the other old video "why lolcow helps artist").
She definitely made it seem like she was in a very bad situation. This pisses me off so much. I also know for a fact that most people who choose to live in a van when they can afford a house are fine. My little brother lives in his van because he loves hiking and thinks it is more convenient. He literally has said how privileged he is to have this life style. Shannon made it seem like she was starving, that she built her way to the top because of RUclips.
I am also now curious if anybody ever won her monthly iPad or 1k giveaways
God... now that I think about it, she could’ve easily used one of her burner accs and claimed to be another person...
@@oncefighting True! AND thinking about how some of her videos were sponsored by VPN sites is just 😬
@@lilz if only she used expressvpn, which is the sponsor of this comment! 30% off lmao
But she easily could’ve gotten away with this if only she wasn’t so sloppy... like, she could’ve gotten away if she stopped posing as someone else in lolcow, if she used a VPN and if she didn’t make inconsistent stories regarding “Amy”
(Special mention for the IP spoofing 😭 that shit slaps lmao)
9.5/10 for being a weirdo psychopath that bullied a lovely lady for 8+ years
5/10 for her acting, got tired of her after 1-3months when I realized she has nothing to contribute about her topics

This isn't fanart, this is what's considered a hate piece. If I was drawing it with positive connotations and posting it anywhere without context, that would be fanart. This is negative connotation and the only place you can see this artwork is via this youtube video. If shannon uses this artwork in any sense, i'll be asking her to take it down, and if she doesnt, i'll have to take it to more serious places. It's not fanart. Also, I needed a thumbnail because the artist of shannon's original pfp is very uncomfortable with their art being used everywhere.

If you'd seen other videos before this that were only about this issue that talked more about it than like, 2 minutes, then i didn't see it, but no, this isn't clickbait because this is one of the first videos talking about it.

I wasn't making light of or trying to downplay any trauma she might have gotten. I have nothing against Van life, however what she was doing, marketing it as homelessness, was completely false and it severely hurts actual people who were/are homeless. I don't doubt she has trauma from it, but that doesn't make her lying about what her situation was any less. Homelessness implies a lack of money and an urgency about the situation. She had no lack of money and there was no urgency to her van life. I respect van life people as long as they dont market it as homelessness.

You guys have to remember that 1: Planet fitnesses aren't in every town, and 2: when you're homeless and living off the streets 10$ can make or break you. That could be a desperately needed meal, or payment for somewhere to sleep, or for anything else important. 10$ on a gym membership is still ridiculous, when you could use that ten bucks to be able to stay in a shelter and shower there and get food. You guys are thinking very privileged, in that 10$ is nothing, but to a homeless person, 10$ could be their entire life. Not to mention, most gym memberships have things in place specifically to keep homeless people from using their facilities, ranging anywhere from asking for an address, to outright refusing service to people are homeless, or even might look dirty. It's not that easy folks!
I'll add more here if I see any frequent stuff picking up, or ask me direct questions here and i'll try to respond to them i guess!
I feel so sorry for Emily! She went through something so terrible, I really hope she's okay now! Thank you for making this video and bringing the situation more into the public!
as another person who has been homeless, i totally agree. finding out she _chose_ to be homeless made me extremely disappointed, and angry.
i was illegally evicted by my "aunt" (she was my mother's now ex best friend) 2 months after me, my mother and sister left our home state to live with her after something awful that happened to her. luckily, we had enough money to bounce around cheap hotels for a bit, then we lived shortly with some family, then took our remaining belongings and headed back to our home state. we were once again stuck in a cheap hotel, in which we lived in for a few months until extremely luckily my dad's roommate was moving out of their shared small apartment about a month later, and he told us we could stay with him. since then we've been living in this apartment. we had a park that we found and knew we would live from our car in if we no longer had the money to stay in the hotel.
i acknowledge that i was extremely lucky in the end, but the fact still stands that shannon both calling her experience "being homeless" and using it to deflect criticism is disgusting. the trauma that comes from being homeless isnt a fucking aesthetic, being homeless itself isnt a fucking aesthetic, and it disappointed me when i heard she and anthony chose that for themselves. i agree that they couldve afforded to rent an apartment, buy a house, or even move away from california. it just,, the whole situation is icky, and her stories that she told about being homeless made me feel like i wasnt alone- and finding all this out honestly had made me feel really tricked.
i enjoyed your video and art, and im really sorry you had to go through all of that.
i hope you have a good day/night.
Hi Mikan
Saying youre ‘homeless’ while living out of your can and not having an address is literally interpreted but if you planned for it for a year, spent so much money getting ready for it, and most likely put all your furniture and belongings in a storage unit then you’re *exploiting* the connotations of what homelessness means in reality. They did it for the likes, the lolz, and the money-money they likely didn’t need. No.
I mean, by Shannon's definition, all four of my siblings and I have all been homeless at one point or another... literally none of us were ever really homeless, just transitionally without a home for random points in our lives. We are all very privileged people, actually.
HONESTLY I am shocked more people have not been talking about it. Shannon used that so much as a reason for things.
Friend, why are you drawing her, stop you're making her more beautiful than she actually was on the inside--
I never heard about van life, but I always have been bothered why she keeps bringing up her homeless experience to deflect later criticisms. I was never homeless so I never could share my input on it-- but I didn't understand how her homeless experience absolves her (at the time) present conflicts. If anything, her experience would make her more appreciative of her audience-- and the many times she refuses to apologize or manipulate things in her favor (ex: addressing Tobi's video, lying about Hopeless Peaches, never addressing misinfo), I didn't feel as if I, as a viewer then, was respected, in contrast to how a lot of viewers respect her. It felt manipulative and dishonest and I'd rather have a content creator who apologizes when they do bad takes rather than one who would continue as if nothing happened.
I think they're drawing the snake that Shannon truly is. Her true persona.
There's an expression "Every rose has its thorns". Shannon definitely suits that. She may have a very pretty face, but the attitude is as ugly AF.
@@KittyKatt_Luna80s - Good point, and what you said is really fitting for their piece! (I'm just joking mostly because it's very pretty in contrast to how CreepShowArt is on the inside cuz my godddd 😂)
@adoringghost OH snap, my mistake;;. I'll change this quickly. Thanks for letting me know! ❤️
I made a art drawing of Shannon as she truly is. When I'm done, I can link you to it.
@adoringghost Noted. Gnome, please accept my apologies. I've edited now.
I have also, been 'homeless' not by choice (in addition to stalking and fear of an ex). I was also 1 of the lucky people who had amazing circumstances lineup that kept me in the safest situations possible. I now work with the homeless and have seen and heard the worst horror stories. Before Emily Artful's video on the subject I had never heard of Shannon (I won't dignify her by using the channel name), or any of the dozen or so channels I have since watched, who have shared similar issues or added receipts. I have now started to follow more creators that I feel deserve my attention. I can only thank Emily and the other creators for not backing down and showing the world that when you stand up, others will stand with you.
THANK YOU!! I always felt,, uncomfortable when she used homelessness as a shield whenever people called her out she'd be like "OH WERE YOU HOMELESS?? DIDNT THINK SO" but knowing she CHOSE to?!?!? makes me feel sick man, looking back its almost like she used that loophole of being *technically* homeless as a way to brag or add to her pity points :/
It really does always rub me wrong when people claim homelessness when it’s not reality. I fled my home on my 16th birthday and lived with my partner ever since. I was escaping such severe abuse that I was more inclined to sleeping on the street than in a bed in that house. I do not consider that a choice. Planning to live in a car, in order to save money is not homelessness. Homelessness is not vain sacrifice. It is not knowing where you’re sleeping tomorrow. It’s not knowing when you’re going to eat. Not being able to fill out forms because you don’t have an address to begin with so you can’t progress up to a way to get a fucking address in the first place.
I was lucky. I had my partner’s family, and then a refuge for youth, and then a friend to crash on their couch. It was rough, but I know I was lucky to have a shower, a place to wash my clothes and usually food.
Right now, I’m still struggling. I know that tonight I will be going hungry, and that tomorrow will be the same. I’m still very lucky and blessed that I have a roof and many other necessities that you don’t realise are so important. I have clean sheets and shoes, a car outside, hot water, etc. just don’t have enough to fully cover everything, but I do have a home.
Hearing someone CHOOSE to want that sort of anxiety and fear and stress? It just puzzles me. Reminds me of a girl I knew. Loved having the worst, most abysmal sob story she could; it was like a competition that she was in with herself. She cried wolf about things until they happened, then let things continue to spiral worse. I know I’m harsh, but she was someone who was very toxic with little regard for anyone around her, trying to help her or not. She copied details of trauma from those around her. Found ways to get into situations for the story of it all. Made it romantic, tragic, something to throw in to shut up anyone who criticised her, and frankly it just sounds like the same with Shannon. Defending yourself with tragedy isn’t a defence. It’s just a shitty way to guilt someone.
She's truly a terrible, terrible woman.
My heart just goes out to Ready to Glare, Emily and anyone else that's been hurt by Shannon. I'm still processing all these atrocities so I'm just going to send support to those affected, they need to be supported more than anything.
Great video, I did not know all of what CreepShowArt had done. I had watched a video from Omnia showing the transphobic, ableist, etc things she had talked on that website. Also gorgeous drawing!
I have nothing against someone deciding to loose "comfort" to extreme levels to get money.
What I do have a problem is... you dont go out playing victim and pretending like its oh bohoo me i didnt have a choice... when they did wtf... whats even worse is KNOWING they did this to emily behind the scenes and she STILL played the "owhh homeless mee" ugh
I was homeless for two years when I wasn’t in my college dorm I was sleeping in my car, couch surfing, etc. the fact that she made it seem like she knew the struggle is gross. I thought that she was so genuine and liked that I could relate to her. It’s so upsetting. Thank you for talking about this
Also, I know homeless people who are newly homeless and they shower at planet fitness. It’s a thing. Gym memberships for access to showers is not unheard of especially when planet fitness is doing $10/month memberships.
Thank you. As someone that started off watching Shannon's videos (and it was HER that was recommending RTG, D'Angelo, Omnia and the others), to find out what she was actually doing made me feel sick. :-( I seriously wish I could have found out about the other commentators another way.
I'm not defending anyone but where I'm from the cheapest membership near me in Texas is 10 dollars. But cali should be way different. Thank you, I did fall for her way of acting.
In some places it is. But the initial payment is usually high, due to gym fees etc. I pay 24.99 a month. However my first month I had to pay $240 due to the yearly membership cost, and added fees.
We have a $20.00 month per month one by us, nowhere near Cali though.
I did find it odd how she was able to shower at a gym, especially 24hr fitness like- isn't that expensive?? Especially in Cali- 🤨🤨 like i live in Texas and most stuff there is much cheaper than Cali and my own mom couldn't afford 24hr fitness and we weren't even homeless only poor🧍🧍
I was living out of my car in California last year, and the cheapest membership is Planet Fitness for $10 a month. I got in with some special they were running where the initial payment was maybe $20 and there weren’t any additional fees. It’s absolutely doable depending on one’s individual situation.
I've actually met quite a few homeless people in my gym who use it for the showers and the lockers since the gym membership goes for $10/mo. It's a solid advice depending on where you live.
But in terms of using her homelessness for sympathy... I knew there was more to it. Because anyone who touts their "hardships" to the extent that she has is either lying or hiding key truths in order to gain something. In her case it was sympathy.
I was extremely lucky when I ran away from home (due to abuse). I was lucky to live with my sister and then my dad and now my boyfriend. But it was a jarring adjustment. I was forced to learn FAST how to take care of myself. It is really traumatic and everyone who's going through it is a survivor and you're amazing.
The more I learn about Shannon the more it breaks my heart💔
Hey there... I stumbled on this by random and I want to say thank you for sharing your story. Also, just to put your mind at easy alittle. Shannon is getting her just deserts because EVERYONE is definitely talking about her lying about the " homelessness " and used it as a fail safe for when people started to remotely question her. She would use that to squirm her disgusting self out of situations. Everyone is definitely pointing it out and talking about how wrong it is for someone to do that. Again, thank you for sharing your story and have a great day 🙂
I remember when Shannon said something along The lines of „It wasnt a cute aesthetic choice” when it was and the way she used it as an explanation and an exuse pisses me off
Bro I love your colouring, I wish I could get mine that nice!
I looked up to Shannon especially because of the homeless story, we were kicked out of houses more than once and alot of personal money problems. My family was dirt poor and struggled alot throughout the years, who would want to FAKE that horrible life :(.
Imagine choosing to live in your car because you “don’t like the culture” of where you were living
Planet fitness is 10 dollars a month so you could afford a gym membership and use to be open 24hrs
I'm so glad someone spoke up more about this! I just ranted to my friend about it earlier because I too was homeless at one point and felt some other videos downplayed the issue. Her being homeless was one of the reasons I subbed to CSA because I found her so relatable and had always been under the impression it was out of necessity. She's done a ton of horrible shit, and it certainly isn't the worst thing she has done, but that's the part that truly made me feel betrayed as her subscriber. Thank you for bringing this up so accurately and eloquently!
thank you so much for reminding me to take my meds and drink water in every video of yours, I often forget to and it is a big help!
some hygiene homelessness advice: If you stay near a fire station, typically during the summer they leave out free water bottles in a cooler. If you can't afford to get water bottles via the store, use those. Also, baby wipes are good to use when you can't shower, but keep those PCB: Pits, Chest, Bottom. You can always use store and library bathrooms in order to quickly freshen up. For those with curly hair: keep your hair in a pineapple style, but take it down and shake it out every day to not cause matting.
There's more but thoughts are slurring. Stay safe
I feel like they _decided_ to be "homeless" because they just wanted to be uwu tORtUrEd ArTiStS 🙄
Gods I watched her videos for years now, this was something that hit hard. I’ve been to stressed over it to try and watch Anything in it, I’m so happy you made one on it so I can either ease into the information or just finally learn what the hells is going on.
I’m so happy you made this video. I haven’t seen many people talk specifically on this part of this situation and i so happen to see this. I’ve been homeless for over 8 years with a single mother. We never had a choice or an advantage like Shannon and Anthony did and it was really upsetting to hear they did this by choice. Being homeless is one of the biggest struggles I’ve ever went through and that was majority of my childhood. This specific part of the situation angered me in so many ways and I’m very glad that there’s someone who spoke word on it
I’ve been homeless before, granted I was young and it didn’t last long, only a few weeks or so. But I was homeless nonetheless. It was terrifying and one of the most traumatic things I went through. I lived out of a shitty broken car with my mom while my step dad was away driving a truck, refusing to send us money. We were fortunate that the Amish community where we were decided to pity us and give us small amounts of food, teaching us easy and cheap recipes that we could make without heat. It’s disgusting to hear that she’s whining about a PERSONAL choice. She doesn’t deserve a platform. Not at all.
This is a VERY good take!! Also I really like your art!
Really glad you expanded on this. I’ve been thinking a lot about the homelessness thing and it’s one of the things that stings the most. I’m so sorry for what you went through experiencing homelessness and for anyone in that situation. You deserve to be housed and to have your basic fucking needs met ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry that you had to go through that but I’m glad ur doing better 🥺
" Shannon is a snake. "
That's insulting to snakes >:0
yeah shannon did say a couple times her husband's name was anthony in videos and live streams. My heart goes out to Emily even if the evidence is lacking, thank you for coming out with this
This is such an underrated video and channel. I finally found a quality video talking about this drama.
My apologies for your previous situation and I really hope you're in a good place now
I'm so sorry that this happened to you, and yes I do give everyone that is going through this the best of luck. I just so glad that you and a few others got back on their feet and able to live a happy life again.
Damn, I actually liked her...
Can I just say, and I hope this isn't rude or triggering in any way, it feels like such a failure of the system that any sort of accident can lead to a person becoming entirely homeless.
I'm guessing you're American, because it seems like they're the only "first world" country to have such a blatant disregard for their citizens.
There should be something in place to provide you support in those times and not add to the trauma
Yeah, I agree! Mine wasn't caused by anything that the system could've prevented though, but in a lot of cases, yeah it's very much like that!
Thank you very much for sharing and your honesty. I’m very sorry that creep show affected you so much. This was my first time listening to one of your videos and I like your video very much. Again I’m very sorry for what you and your family had to go through, but I can see that you are a very detriment lady and you will do great with your change. I wish you the very best wishes and god bless you and your family.
Ive just found your channel and your art style is fantastic. Im sorry for your struggles and i hope you have a lovely day
She used the "i wad homeless when i made my old videos" when Tobi made her criticism video on her.
I empathize on your homelessness. I was from a poor country. Although I am blessed for having parents who worked hard to provide me and my sibling a good life, i would see homeless and those in the poverty line go to length like your family did to survive. Im happy your in a better spot but man Shanon is just disgusting
I grew up devastatingly poor and homeless. I hate this trend, being homeless is not a cool thing to endure, its not hip and it is nothing to brag about why do people do this?
Thank you for bringing light to this!!!
I'm sorry for your experience ❤️
New here so I wanted to say I’m very sorry for the things you had to experience being homeless. I cannot imagine what that would be like so I have thanked my family a lot lately since this situation hit the internet. Being a mom, not having food for my kids or a safe place for them to sleep is one of my greatest fears. I’m glad you and your family are now in a better place.
I’m so sorry about what happened to your home
Nobody "plans" or "chooses" to be homeless (for the majority).
Also, homeless people aren't really concerned about the "culture" of an area, just where they will sleep or where the next meal comes from.
I've had some strange, unconventional dwellings in my past, but I've never experienced the hardship of true homelessness.
Their was a time in my life where we were living with my grandmother. I wouldn't call it homelessness but we didn't have our own home. We were in the process of building a new home and our lease ran out leaving us with our grandmother. The fact that someone would choose to live on the street makes me sick. When i heard about this i was shocked and angry. I was sleeping on a air mattress and i was lucky to have that. i used to like creepshow art and now i feel sick even knowing of her existence
Ty for putting light in it, I watched her vids all the time and loved her art and thought she was an amazing person, she was my idol ty for making me realize all the things she has done
When I went homeless with my family it's bc we literally could not find a place to live. For months and months they looked for a place to live. application after application, denied, denied, denied. We were kicked out of the house we were living in bc we were renters meaning we had 1 year to live there. Once our lease was up we got the boot. We stayed in hotels for awhile (December 3rd to December 21st I believe) and it was hard. Packing up every couple of days to find a new hotel. My parents having to use all the tips they got from work that day so me and my siblings could have a bed to sleep in. And then there's Shannon. Saying "oH wElL I WaS hOmElEsS...." But she fucking choose to be homeless... W T F
*casually draws fingers perfectly on first try*
What is this sorcery
Liked it in the first 30 seconds because this is important!!! Subscribed because you seem like a creator worth supporting! 💜
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! You said everything I’ve been pissed about.
Thats rude to compare her with a snake! That poor snake!
I was homeless as a kid, we stayed at a homeless shelter and were very lucky to not loose a lot of sentimental stuff. However I still had a lot of trouble with it and I'm lucky in that I was a blissfully unaware kid and my parents were able to frame it in a good light and hid how much trouble it really was.
Edit: homelessness isn't a cute lifestyle, it sucks and it's hard on adults and even harder on children.
Thank you for broaching this topic. This whole weird episode of everyone's livelihood involved in the situation has only shown her to be a legitimate narcissistic sociopath whose only regard was acting in her own interests, at the painful expensive everyone around her. I hope but whatever outcome is the end result of all these events, that everyone she has harmed comes out on top for it at her expense like she planned to do towards everyone else in her life.
I'm grateful you talked about this! When I heard about this part in Emily's video, it was upsetting. I never was homeless, and can only imagine the hardships that come with it, but being without a home by choice is a different story then, if it was involuntary, I'm fairly sure about that.
Anyone can live like they want. What Shannon went through while living in her car was certainly not easy, and if I wasn't so sure she was out for extra sympathy points, I'd wonder why she couldn't have been honest. It would have been very interesting to hear about her experiences.
So, really I'm glad you talked about this. Hearing about this from the perspective of someone that was homeless was something I was hoping for a bit.
Thank you a lot, stay safe and well!
Imagine how privileged one must be to CHOOSE to be homeless. And PREP for it. I agree, it's minimalism and a nomadic lifestyle. Not homelessness. Insulting to those of us who've been there.
I think Shannon said specifically (or maybe it was just context clues) that she got a gym membership at a planet fitness, which is $10-20/month. Granted, even that could be outside the budget for a lot of homeless people, but just thought it was worth noting.
Still, I agree with everything else in this video because I also felt misled after hearing Anthony's version of events. She always admitted that homelessness was a choice for her, but made it seem like it was a spur of the moment decision and because her home life was terrible (as if it was a choice but barely).
I'm glad you're speaking about this and if you're able, I'd like to hear where else Shannon was wrong in her homelessness tips. It could help correct people that are actually facing that and don't have a choice.
Not me binge watching your videos bcse i really like your art style and I love your ocs😶😗 great video btw, i haven't seen that many plp talking abt this and i really agree with you.
As someone who aspires to live a full-time in a van, when i get older i could move into any of the affordable apartments in my area, but i want to live in a van because i find it fun to travel. Creep show treats the fact that she chose to live in a car like its so sad when actually it’s probably more fun than living in a house.
They weren't homeless. They were "digital nomads".
I've been nearly homeless in an uninhabitable slum. I washed my clothes by filling a cooler with water and soap and stomping my clothes like grapes. Bathed with a cup in the sink. Went to bed early to skip dinner. Homeless is not a spartan aesthetic. I had to go to the library for internet as well, so I believed her. She's honestly rly sick and needs a lot of professional help.
your art style is so cute omg
sorry for your experiences, and this is a good point to touch on, with all the other chaos it kind of gets lost. But i dont think anyone, anywhere, to my knowledge, said that shannon and anthony were homeless for the aesthetic, until here in your video. I know there are people who do that, go nomadic, gutter punks, squatters etc, where it is part of a look or style or aesthetic, but in the videos i watched, it seems those two numbskulls did it for financial reasons and idk, like a challenge of some sorts. just wanted to point that out.
I hate that people are calling her a snake. Snakes don't deserve that kind of slander they're precious creatures that I love with my whole heart. She's more of an anglerfish. Using it's icillium to attract prey animals while being an absolute monster.
i knew there was something up with shannon, never really liked her in the first place
You spoke what I was thinking holy hell. When I heard about her being without a home, it left a lot of red flags in my head. I'm so sorry for what Emily, you and others have gone through because of Shannon. I hope she realizes her mistakes and just stops.
so glad someone FINALLY SHARED WHAT PEOPLE WERE MISSING
Hope you read this! This is not to defend Shannon nor her husband but I use to live in San Jose/Bay Area. Anthony is right. The rent is atrocious. There is a lot of homeless people in San Jose alone. I know some of them and they were all working individuals who can’t afford the rent. They have gym membership in Planet Fitness which is 10 dollars a month. I know this because I was a Planet Fitness member before the pandemic. They were not homeless by choice either. As I said, the rent is sky high. The cause of a small bedroom is 800/month minimum. But the jobs are in Silicon Valley so that’s kinda of a Catch 22. I would also like to clarify, that although Bay Area is an expensive place to live, we’re very diverse here. Anthony speaking about “no dominant culture” sound so racist to me. He mention Campbelle which use to be a “white area” neighborhood. He sounds like a deuce. Not all Bay Areans are like that. Glad he and Shannon are not here anymore.
they are both racist
Does anyone know any RUclipsrs who gives LEGITIMATELY GOOD ADVICE about how to survive homelessness? Because I really wanna know just in case I become homeless myself.
I had no idea this was going on..thanks for making this
Also that drawing is awesome
As someone who lived in hotels, and had to sleep in parks very rarely this is so gross, I've only recently gotten comfortable calling my situation back then being homeless because of how lucky I knew I was to not have to be on the street all the time and this honestly makes me take a step back again to look at it because of stuff like this making homelessness look like a choice people make idk
*hears they live in California*
Me: EW now I have to move-
I don't know about this one, shannon doesn't really deserve any benefit of the doubt at this point but we don't actually know the details of it from her perspective. If your deep in debt with garbage credit and can't make money faster then interest accumulates, living out of your car may legit feel like your only viable option. Assuming she could 'easily' get out of it and even have bought a house based just on the general idea of it being a choice and her bf having music equipment is odd, tho i think what bothers me is the idea that a choice means it must not be real. Is someone not really homeless if they could live with family but won't out of shame or feeling like a burden? Is it only real if there's no other options at all? It doesn't justify using the experience to deflect general criticism and doesn't erase all the other shit that is more proven but maybe when all the choices are bad people can choose to be homeless and its still homelessness not just "minimalist" or whatever? I donno, i've never been homeless but living in my car to not burden my family is something i've thought about a lot when depression hits me.
As soon as I found all of this out I was heartbroken I used to be a fan of hears, I’m glad you talked about it before I supported her anymore
I love this video, it was very well put together and thought out. I can’t believe that there aren’t more people who are covering the situation who aren’t touching on the fact that her and her husband chose to be homeless purely for the aesthetic. There are other ways to save money, if you don’t wanna do it through a bank by a safe and stick it in your house and put 20 or 30 bucks in it every week or every month. It is absolutely disgusting that they would glamorize a lifestyle that is not a choice for so many people.
It upsets me that a RUclipsr who I loved watching every time she uploaded just ruined her fanbase, she's messed up. The fact she chose the homeless route is her fault. Everything that's happened to her by now is her fault. I hate to see someone who made decent content just get torn down, especially by her own actions. She's lost me and so many others as fans.
*lools at title*
Everyone's talking about this, maybe somthing specific is missin-
*watches video*
No everyobody's talking about this lmao.
Okay WTF! I'm glad you spoke about this!
Me and my family NEARLY became homeless 10 years ago and I cannot stress enough how terrifying it truely is to be at the brink of losing shelter! You never wanna be homeless! There's a lot of dangers out there!
I'm wishing y'all whom been homeless or are homeless the best! And for Shannon and Fartony (his name is a trigger for me so just roll with this), I hope you know that this isn't something you get to choose! You both took a life-threatening situation and made it into an "aesthetic"! Good for you! /sarcasm I hope you both learn that homelessness hurts a lot of people around the world!
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are in a much better situation now.
I love your art style and that snake is darling, not Shannon but the scaled danger noodle 😆
