The fact that I was addicted to tumblr and never even heard or seen this girl speaks volumes of how that site had niches upon niches of different people.
I used to use her pictures to catfish when I was like 10 years old. I also seen her and her photos mentioned on Tik tok so i found out she was not just a random person, but ‘famous.’
Made me really sad when her sister said “and do not say I’m black” :(((( definitely shows how she perceived acacia and her family to treat black people. Seems like she tried to cope by distancing herself from those that her family clearly disdains. Really sad for her about that
listening to rosie cry while acacia was playing a video game and didn’t seem to care at all almost made me cry. like that’s a baby. an innocent, very young child who needs HELP. and she cares more about a video game, im going to sob
I was one of those girls with the camera, posting myself holding up objects and obtained a following of 10k from it. Good times. I lost them all once I changed my theme lol
I'm sorry, I'm only at 2:32, "her dad was a child photographer" sounds bad but it's SO much worse when you add that he'd randomly pick up and flee the state fairly often. Like uh... Whatcha running from bro? That's um.. shady.
No he is literally a documented predator i forget his name but her brother’s ex girlfriend came out about him being a creep to her and other young girls
how she thought she could leave her cat for FOUR FREAKING DAYS ON ITS OWN with NO ACCESS to fresh food or water, not even to mention the litter box ... like GIRL HOW.
i think the max should be 2 full days that a cat could be alone with dry food and a water fountain. i wouldn’t be surprised if she left wet food and a bowl of water
Her dad being a child photographer 🚩 then her dad dropping everything all the time 🚩 her dad filming those videos of her and Sam Pottorff and their friends kissing and shit 🚩 the dad filming majority of her young life content 🚩 I have a very bad feeling about her dad being a nonce. Why would someone that was as rich as Rich was, just pack up and disruptively move his family on numerous occasions? Like genuinely asking here. That just makes me sound like he’s running from a LOT of things.
As a disabled person, sometimes theres a golden child/unloved child dynamic going on in abusive families. In Rosie's case, her disability may have caused her parents to vilify her for having extra needs or being "imperfect". They might've then favoured the other child and abused the other. This happened to me.
Yes exactly!! This happened to me too but I wasnt diagnosed for ages, so my family blames it on "not knowing" :/ it's so upsetting. I hope rosie gets the love she deserves
It was the opposite in my childhood household. My sister had many learning difficulties and medical needs, I was ignored and abandoned and claimed to be the one "that doesn't need any help" well turns out I have autism and struggled more than I ever needed to
This is so fucked up and I am so sorry that you had to go through this. No offense to your parents but i genuinely think people like acacia shouldnt have the right to raise their children, how people still support her is beyond me
I think it’s important to acknowledge too that a lot of the instances of Rosie being “abused” or “forgotten” there’s another parent there. Jairus does nothing but Acacia gets 100% of the blame
@@Mlbb_370-x6nstop trying to fkn twist it lol. there is no connection with not feeling any symptoms and calling your child FORGOTTEN oh god i hope you all never have kids
I'll never forget seeing her instagram where she took a mirror selfie in her daughter's hospital room, posed and edited, and the caption was a health update of her daughter who had just received surgery. I just found it weird, the idea of doing a photo shoot in your child's hospital room, making the focus on yourself. I just can't stand when parents on social media do stuff like that
I can’t remember all the details and I could be wrong but I also thought she took her daughter who just had open heart surgery on a vacation? Her parenting choices are so questionable
the situation with rosie made me feel physically ill. as a disabled child, how supportive your parents are greatly affects your quality of life - this is true for all children, but especially true for disabled children. if you need access to special education or school accommodations, you have to go through your parents. i genuinely pray for her safety and peace. her sister, too... that must be such a lonely, painful experience, being a black girl growing up with an openly racist adoptive sibling who says shit about you to your face with a camera on. sickening.
Oh man, the video of her and Sam really demonstrates how little they were... it's disgusting to think about how she was sexualized when she was *even younger* than that...
i get that re-homing can be necessary but it can also traumatize animals. these influencers who seem to chronically purchase pets from breeders & re-home them only for a new pet to appear a year or so later who then suffers the same fate as the first & so on & so on.. it is quite sinister to view your pets as so disposable.
@whocaresanymore it can be best if the animal is a danger to themselves or others and can get better care elsewhere. Like if an animal is aggressive towards children, moving that animal to a home with no children can save its life
@yanni How bout Work w the animal!! Would you give away one of your kids if it was bullying another of your kids?? Ppl who don't value animal family members the same way you do human ones A. are absolute trash in my eyes, and B. don't deserve animals to begin with. They're too good for dirtbags who treat them like they're dispensable/disposable.
@@ginanotafan1039 yes and while working with the animal, there is still a risk to both the animal and the child. Sometimes people do everything they can and it isn’t enough. Sometimes it IS best to rehome. Also there are people like Anna Faris who have a child and then discover the child is extremely allergic to the dog. There ARE valid reasons to rehome a dog and that is part of why some animal shelters have stipulations (only dog in the home, older children only, etc) to avoid putting the animal in a negative situation again. Edit: I’ve literally worked in an animal shelter to have a black and white view of why people rehome is extremely hurtful to people who have done everything they can. There are situations where it is best for the animal. And yes there ARE people who ask another family members to raise their kids or they place them in a facility because they are a serious danger to the other household members. And I don’t fault them for that either it’s a really difficult position to be in
@@ginanotafan1039 Also a situation could happen with the owner like health issues, housing issues that where out of their control, job issues resulting in struggling income etc that will hinder them from properly providing the life their pet needs/deserves and keeping them will negatively impact their welfare/quality of life
thank you for bringing up her racism. as a black person it’s annoying to see people down play it or not mention it at all even though she doesn’t seem sorry at all
I’m scared for Rosie. Obviously she’s getting to the age where she can’t just be left on the floor to fend for herself, I hope she’s getting the extensive physical therapy and all the things she needs to thrive the best she can. I couldn’t imagine leaving my child lying on the floor in the dark while I play video games or something, that scream crying made me wanna cry Lmao
@@earthtorebecca1290 hello… my son is now 7 months old and reading the original comment again, I can now say I agree with it. I play league too but I only play when my son is napping or in bed for the night. If he wakes up from a nap while I’m in a game I will put him in his activity center… the only times I leave him on the floor alone to play with his toys are when I need to step away to get something or cook… so here I am admitting I was wrong
@@squid2133 sorry not sorry but being childfree doesn't mean that childfree people can't say anything about someone else's parenting. leaving an infant to lay alone on the *floor* in a different room unsupervised to where a dog can step on them and hurt them is absolutely not okay and dangerous
Thank you for your point on how not all self-harm is cutting your arms with a razor blade. When I was in middle school and high school, I was extremely on Tumblr. Not enough people talk about the damage done to our weird micro generation. I unfortunately found a lot of clever ways to never be seen as the "typical case" self-harmer out of immense fear that people would think I'm "doing it for attention". That paradoxically made little mentally ill me feel like I was faking because the girlies are Tumblr are more "authentically" depressed. That site gave me such weird complexes.
I can excuse a lot of her earlier controversies as just being a stupid kid. we all did cringey, shitty things. however, we're supposed to grow and learn from that. her later controversies - the animal thing, the straight up neglect of her child, the refusing to own up to and apologise for her racism - I cannot excuse or explain away. she's an adult, and she should know better by now. we all have to own up to our mistakes and face the consequences at some point, and it seems like Acacia is paying for hers now.
Just for some added context, I found out her mom is from the same town I grew up in and that she still has family there. This town has a horrendous reputation for racism and the presence of a certain horrible group that wears pointy hats (censoring because not sure if youtube flags that name). So I am not at all surprised by this as the n word was not a rare occurrence in this town.... so I am not surprised that she wasn't given a better example by her parents. I feel really sad for her little sister if the rest of the family did and said things like that too
@@ashleynorton I hope so. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable with their family. And just to clarify, I am not implying that her family is associated with that group in any way. Just illustrating how those people and beliefs have impacted the culture of this town overall.
This popped up in my feed out of nowhere and I’m SO GLAD IT DID. You are so hilarious and so witty and so smart and so articulate and just amazing. New favourite creator. You remind me of a female Drew Gooden in your delivery and humour. Love love love.
I think it’s important to note that Luke (from 5sos) and Acaia are the same age (still weird for the rumors to be spread but Luke was also a child hisself) so if anyone should be blamed for allowing this type of stuff to happen it should be their parents and management
@@sourgreendolly7685 you don’t understand the principle of the mental illness then. she incapable of recognizing her being in that state. again no excuse just a better understand of her behavior
@@zowchii post partum is also not an explanation. Post partum just means after having a child. Post partum psychosis? Post partum hair loss? Post partum depression? What are you saying she how
I genuinely want a study to be done to study why people will send death threats to people when they do something they don’t like. Send threats over someone you don’t like possibly being cast in a movie is insane. Why do people do this?
Acacia Brinley singing Girls by the 1975 is such peak early 2010’s tumblr, wow. This video really sent me down memory lane Edit: Just subscribed to ur channel!! You've covered so many topics i'm interested in and i'm excited to see what else you put out, you make really entertaining and thoughtful content!!
Literallyyyy I was like of course she sang that song and she was wearing a black circle skirt and what looked to be a striped stop while doing it lmao such peak early 2010’s tumblr
I appreciate you!! its hard finding people who arent in the category of dark stuff/ true crime but who still do storytime ish video essays lol. i mean i love all of the genres but sometimes you just want to watch some "fun drama" where people didnt really get hurt too badly, it feels more personal than reality tv bc youre talking directly to us
i’m so glad i’m not the only one who had this exact experience on tumblr and this whole era of the internet! literally still think about this so much and how i was raised on it lmao, great video!
was enjoying my night, minding my old business, and then i had my entire youth abruptly resurrected just by seeing acacia brinlye's name. she had us in a chokehold and i firmly believe she's the reason I thought i looked so good in braces in middle school.
This just randomly showed up in my algorithm, but can I just say how impressed I am with you?! You gave such fair/unbiased takes, and made excellent points (eg Our ingrained culture misogyny, how ppl pile on to young celebs on the internet when often they're literal children crying out for help)- not to sound like an oldster but I don't think when I was your age I was nearly as mature or mentally well-adjusted as you are! Tldr: SUBBED!💜✨
I’m glad you got heated about the animals. People don’t take this stuff seriously enough. I cut off an aunt of mine who had been doing that my entire life. She thought it was fine as long as she found good homes for them or a good rescue.
There are support groups for parents and relatives of children with disabilities. The experience of raising a child with a disability can cause emotional/physical exhaustion, a difficult time connecting with that child, etcetera, and it's important to have a support network. The last thing you should want is for your child's disability to affect how you feel about them.
"She was born on October 22" "Oh! That's tomorrow!" "She was born in Boston, Massachusetts" "Oh! I'm from Boston, Massachusetts!" I think this is enough evidence that I am Acacia Brinley (I'm a 20 year old man)
I adopted my two cats recently and was kind of shocked by how deep the background check went and how many references I needed to even get considered to adopt a pet, but when I hear stories of serial rehomers like Acacia, I get it. (Not to mention the stories of abuse and other unthinkable things. It's good that a lot of agencies are putting in that time and effort to find good homes for their animals.)
Wow, thank you SO much for this video! I had seen Acacia many many times on my dash back in middle school, but I never knew her name or anything about her. I feel like I know everything now! Amazing job. Thanks for unlocking a hidden memory and for exploring it’s entire breadth so eloquently and entertainingly!
I honestly don't even blame Acacia for the pets she got and re-homed while she was a minor living with her parents. Why were they even letting her get more and more pets??
Michael is like only 2 years older than her and Luke is 1 year older than her though, so at the time they were all kids. The main problem I think is when she entered the real “pop punk” bands scene when they’re all older and we know all the problems on warped tour yk. She met her husband who is also much more older than her.
your voice and vibe is so comforting to me! it's hard for me to be calm and stimulated at the same time but this is Everything i am living for the info, u feel like a big sis!
Her and Sam's relationship reads to me like a PR stunt paid for by her father. Also the fact that her creepy father was the one to record them being like 14 and acting like a couple on a playground.. just weird and creepy
My dog was nine when I adopted him and the second he met me he was like I’m outta here her energy seems good. He has been showing his gratitude ever since to the point of obsession at times because I was nice to him when others had been neglectful. However I can’t bring him around strangers as a result because of how protective he gets. You can tell the trauma and I see it as my job to just spoil him for the few years he has left. Thank you for making it such an important point!
I agree but I remember her being called out for photoshopping her pics to appear even skinnier. Also, since having three children and a boob job, she did gain a bit of weight, but she still looks amazing (especially if you consider she had three kids in a short periodt of time)
To be fair, I don't trust the Air B&B review from the owner at all. Most Air B&B stuff to come out lately really proves that a lot of owners don't care, overcharge, and get defensive when asked about issues. This is not to defend anything else, but Air B&B is always sus.
Omg I remember the tumblr photography era and quality blog era and then within it there was a huge divide between people wanting to do photography and people wanting to take selfies 💀
this is so well put together & the nostaligia is hitting harddd 😩 thank you for sharing, i feel like you've answered questions i didnt even know i had🤣
I remember transitioning from tumblr to twitter in 2013 and the circle I was a part of was in that realm of young girls who used both platforms religiously (lol). Everyone I was friends with clowned on her sooooo hard. Everyday people were making memes about her and making fun of her. I probably joined in at the time cause when I was 16 I wad a sheep and wanted to participate in what was funny lol. The number one insult i remember people calling her was mispronouncing her name as “akakia”. At a point it got over the top to to me and obsessive to just essentially love to hate her. I know she’s done bad things, and in ways yeah she is a bad person… but I do feel bad about how cruel me and my friends used to be to her. I’m glad I got out of that phase in my life and can evaluate people on a rational level rather than emotional one.
Not that it makes much of a difference because I don’t think it’s true but Luke is only 1 year older than acacia so I don’t think I’d class it as a ‘grown man’ taking advantage of her - they were both just teenagers
I’ve had dogs my entire life, and while acacia was 100% in the wrong about neglecting her animals and got rightfully called out for it, I don’t think yelling at your dog to stop barking qualifies as abuse.
it depends the amount of times they hear screaming honestly. i grew up in a house where people would scream at each other a lot (so it wasn't even directed at my dog) but when people would raise their voice my dog would start shaking and he'd hide. So yes, if you're yelling at someone or at your dog all the time, they will develop an anxiety disorder/ptsd. they're living creatures, not objects.
@@keithgm9574 I do think it also depends on the dog. My childhood dog got yelled at a lot to stop barking but it just assumed we were barking with it and sometimes she would listen and stop barking. But it was never truamatic to her, you just had to yell to get over her barking. We took care of the dog really well lived until it was 19. But it was a jack russel that would bark a lot. But our other dog Rosie would be the type of dog to get anxiety if you yelled at her. We know this so we never yell at her. She gets anxious with loud noises in general so it would be truamatic to her. Also no one said dogs were an object. Like chill out.
it really just depends on the dog, same way one child who gets yelled at may turn out fine while another could develop extreme anxiety or possible worse. my mom yells at my dog when she barks/ does any behavior my mom deems undesirable and its made my dog develop horrible anxiety, to the point that she’ll sometimes get so scared she defecates. and from what i remember the dog acacia was yelling at already struggled with behavioral issues so i think it’s incredibly wrong to yell at an animal like that instead of addressing the root of the issues :/
Give me one reason how she's a terrible mother lol. have you physically witnessed abuse? neglect? if not shut the hell up lol. 98% of y'all aren't even mothers
@@Mlbb_370-x6n okay acacia we understand that you’re on your side account but you’re assuming no one on here except you(acacia) are a mom. If you’re not actually acacia you’re being real weird defending her this hard over nothing and still assuming no one except her and maybe you are a mom
"John Green most popularly known today as the brother of Hank Green" has me SCREAMING. The amount of times I had to explain who Hank was as "you know John Green... who wrote The Fault in Our Stars... this is his brother". Crazy times
16:28 “I respect her because lack of talent has never slowed her down.” LMFAO 💀💀💀 Edit: 18:10 I’m not saying it was ok for them to be asking for n*des but Michael is the same age as Sam and Luke is actually younger than Michael, so...... if she was born in 97 and you said she was 15 at the time, then Luke was 16 and Michael was 17, just stating the facts over here.
Thank you so much for explaining this I was a 1D Stan but my friend was a 5SOS Stan and she HATED Acacia and I never quite grasped where the visceral hatred and loathing was coming from
I'm sorry but ya'll are holding these teens to a way too low standard. An 18yo isn't 10. They HAVE to know if they can take care of a pet, and be a loving parent. Just to get an animal and not take proper care of them is just a sign of carelessness and stupidity. I was 15 when we got a dog on my request, and I was the only one taking her out in the morning anad evening, feeding her, playing with her, taking care of her. There is no excuse. An animal isn't a tshirt you don't like anymore
really great video. i just knew the picture you have in the thumbnail and it`s really interesting (but also really sad) what happend to the person in her youth and what stuff she did doing since adulthood (especially the situation with her pets are horrifying)
this brings me back to being 12 years old with an acacia meme page (basically a hate/tea page. kids are assholes & i was a huge one lmao). the hate pages for her had thousands of more followers than the fan pages. such a weird time on social media
Omg yes I can remember hate pages were SO common especially those hating on kids. Now I cannot wrap my head around the fact that we were oppenly hating on children?! such a weird time on social media. Glad those days are semi over. Cyber bullying is no joke
You just made me remember when I followed her instagram & people were bashing a video of her singing so she posted about how her parents took her to a doctor when she was a little girl because they literally thought she was tone-deaf cause of the way she would sing.. I thought it was hilarious at the time cause I didn’t even know she had a band or anything so it just seemed like a weird trauma-dump. Her parents were definitely foul for that one…
On a similar note... The late 00s of the "scene" were hard for girls in the Warped Tour scene. We wanted to look like those alt girls online so badly. Reason I wasn't into early '10s internet culture because of it.
I don’t think I ever want kids but seeing the way she treats Rosie makes me want to adopt her and take care of her so bad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 that poor sweet baby
This is the second time of me watching this bc I love tumble history lol. So I was too old at the time to be following the Acacia controversies, but everything you speak on about mental health is spot on. I was and still do struggle with that unsympathetic line of thinking that was rampant back then. Like I’ve been living with my brain for 28 years and I still have to check myself now and then bc just bc I’m not “self harming in a typical way” doesn’t mean I’m faking it. Lol I honestly feel bad for this girl bc I was old enough to know better and still got caught up in the pettiness.
I took those screenshots of the v*brator ad involving her children… I was legit in so much shock/disgust that she would post that. I even covered the children’s faces myself before reposting it because I found it so disturbing. I don’t think that was a mistake, anyone with a brain could connect the dots on why that was disturbing. That was the point of no return for her in my opinion personally. I won’t give her any excuses for that and when she was ignoring Rosie crying after leaving her alone on the floor.. in that clip you hear her yell “I hate that” to I’m assuming Rosie before returning to the computer. She also posted them in only fans content… I think cps should have been involved and I still do. I hope those kids are doing okay, specifically Rosie.
i remember her black hair era when she was into the band scene. i remember being lowkey a hater that this rich white girl was famous for showing off the clothes and aesthetic that was pretty expensive. as an adult now she seems like she is lowkey exploiting her kids as a mom aesthetic blogger.
as someone who rehomed a dog when i was around the same age as acacia (i was 18), it’s understandable that someone that age might underestimate how much work a pet is, but i would not adopt another dog that close to rehoming the first one
This is fascinating because 1. I came across Acacia on RUclips randomly one day and then BAM commentary videos. 2. I never knew of tumblr or anything like that 🤣 I appreciate deep dives. Thank you ma’am.
what i don’t understand about acacia is that she never tries to hide or cover up her mistakes? like she’s so used to over sharing that she doesn’t realize all of this stuff makes her look really bad? she blatantly neglects rosie and then mentions it on stream like it’s no big deal. she sets herself up like this time after time and she still doesn’t get it.
I can't say I liked this video because I found it to be really sad, but I think it was a well done video and I watched the whole thing. I've been ninging all your content in the last few days. As a mom of a special needs kid, I legit cried when poor rosie was stepped on by the dog. I would NEVER leave my kid alone on the floor in the dark unsupervised with a dog around, even if the child did not have a disability. I am insanely worried for Rosie, and I hope that these two parents step up and treat her better. Also the stuff with the animals. I just lost my cat I've had since I was young and the last year he has basically been in hospice care and it has been incredibly difficult, not aesthetic and kind of depressing and gross, but I did what I needed to do because when you adopt a pet, I firmly believe it should be for forever. But on the other hand I am kind of glad those animals were rehomed because who knows what would have happened if they weren't. I remember Acacia from the old tumblr days, but I never knew much about her personal life. I don't like the things she does, the kids, the racism, the pets but also I feel really bad for her. Honestly what she went through sounds traumatic, and it seems like either mother or father or both really drilled into her that she needed to "be a star" or something and she craved all that attention. I definitely also think it is terrible that she obviously had mental health issues and no one helped that poor kid. But again she is an adult now, and I would think she would have gained more insight from what she went through...I hope also she stops showing her kids publically that is really scary that predators are collecting her kids photos. I think Acacia needs someone to help her, sit her down, therapy, something.
first of all i have been trying to remember the name for “quality blogs” for so long now second of all TYVM for promoting shelter animals/adopting (i work in shelter medicine) and thank you for adopting 💖
The thing with Cotton is that he was their family cat :( she had him back when she was on tumblr and there are a few photos of her with him, idk why they originally had him in their home but for her to treat her longest pet that way was horrible! I've followed Acacia for over a decade at this point, it's crazy to see how she turned out tbh
on the hairless cats suppodely being hypoallergenic thing, i think it's so ignorant and irresponsible that people perpetrate that misinformation because like you said, its not really the hair that's the allergen for people allergic to cats, it's like the oils on the skin and skin flakes and saliva and stuff. sphynx cats need regular bathing because of the dirt and oil buildup they get since there's no hair to absorb it and keep it off the skin so theoretically they can possibly be *worse* for people allergic to cats
Luke was the baby of 5sos (July 1996 - can’t believe i remember that) so he was also underage and only a year older than Acacia. His mum used to tour with them at the time cos he was a minor. I’m sure it’s all made up though
Lol I remember acacia tweeted asking how much she should charge on depop for an iPad with a cracked screen and I think I said something around $100 and she kinda flipped out about it lol
everything aside, i really love the looking for alaska mini series. it was basically everything i could have hoped for as a 14 year old whose favorite book was looking for alaska

Yes exactly!! This happened to me too but I wasnt diagnosed for ages, so my family blames it on "not knowing" :/ it's so upsetting. I hope rosie gets the love she deserves
It was the opposite in my childhood household. My sister had many learning difficulties and medical needs, I was ignored and abandoned and claimed to be the one "that doesn't need any help" well turns out I have autism and struggled more than I ever needed to
This is so fucked up and I am so sorry that you had to go through this. No offense to your parents but i genuinely think people like acacia shouldnt have the right to raise their children, how people still support her is beyond me
I think it’s important to acknowledge too that a lot of the instances of Rosie being “abused” or “forgotten” there’s another parent there. Jairus does nothing but Acacia gets 100% of the blame
Yeah, they both fuckin suck
“we had good times” *a singular video of them hanging out at the park*
“john green, more famously known for being the brother of hank green” 💀💀💀
what kind of parent tells the internet they call their baby the “forgotten child”?? especially considering one day Rosie may see that clip
yeah it was pretty dumb
It was because she felt no pregnancy symptoms with Rosie and she would "forget" she was pregnant. Stop making assumptions
@@Mlbb_370-x6n that doesn’t make her treatment of Rosie any better…
@@Mlbb_370-x6n ew, please never have kids.
@@Mlbb_370-x6nstop trying to fkn twist it lol. there is no connection with not feeling any symptoms and calling your child FORGOTTEN oh god i hope you all never have kids
I'll never forget seeing her instagram where she took a mirror selfie in her daughter's hospital room, posed and edited, and the caption was a health update of her daughter who had just received surgery. I just found it weird, the idea of doing a photo shoot in your child's hospital room, making the focus on yourself. I just can't stand when parents on social media do stuff like that
who gives a fuck dude.
I can’t remember all the details and I could be wrong but I also thought she took her daughter who just had open heart surgery on a vacation? Her parenting choices are so questionable
the situation with rosie made me feel physically ill. as a disabled child, how supportive your parents are greatly affects your quality of life - this is true for all children, but especially true for disabled children. if you need access to special education or school accommodations, you have to go through your parents. i genuinely pray for her safety and peace.
her sister, too... that must be such a lonely, painful experience, being a black girl growing up with an openly racist adoptive sibling who says shit about you to your face with a camera on. sickening.
Especially when kids who say that stuff usually learned it from their parents so huge chance they weren't great towards her.
(the sister)
Did anyone else think the airbnb owner’s response was kind of unhinged? I couldn’t stop laughing listening to it.
It truly was like what? They were writing a novel.
The elusive P-37 mountain lion has sent me
She lost me at “people conceive children there” 💀
Oh man, the video of her and Sam really demonstrates how little they were... it's disgusting to think about how she was sexualized when she was *even younger* than that...
i get that re-homing can be necessary but it can also traumatize animals. these influencers who seem to chronically purchase pets from breeders & re-home them only for a new pet to appear a year or so later who then suffers the same fate as the first & so on & so on.. it is quite sinister to view your pets as so disposable.
I agree! I'll never forget how sad and confused my poor Goose was when I adopted him. I can't imagine having to put him through that.
@whocaresanymore it can be best if the animal is a danger to themselves or others and can get better care elsewhere. Like if an animal is aggressive towards children, moving that animal to a home with no children can save its life
@yanni How bout Work w the animal!! Would you give away one of your kids if it was bullying another of your kids?? Ppl who don't value animal family members the same way you do human ones A. are absolute trash in my eyes, and B. don't deserve animals to begin with. They're too good for dirtbags who treat them like they're dispensable/disposable.
@@ginanotafan1039 yes and while working with the animal, there is still a risk to both the animal and the child. Sometimes people do everything they can and it isn’t enough. Sometimes it IS best to rehome. Also there are people like Anna Faris who have a child and then discover the child is extremely allergic to the dog.
There ARE valid reasons to rehome a dog and that is part of why some animal shelters have stipulations (only dog in the home, older children only, etc) to avoid putting the animal in a negative situation again.
Edit: I’ve literally worked in an animal shelter to have a black and white view of why people rehome is extremely hurtful to people who have done everything they can. There are situations where it is best for the animal. And yes there ARE people who ask another family members to raise their kids or they place them in a facility because they are a serious danger to the other household members. And I don’t fault them for that either it’s a really difficult position to be in
@@ginanotafan1039 Also a situation could happen with the owner like health issues, housing issues that where out of their control, job issues resulting in struggling income etc that will hinder them from properly providing the life their pet needs/deserves and keeping them will negatively impact their welfare/quality of life
thank you for bringing up her racism. as a black person it’s annoying to see people down play it or not mention it at all even though she doesn’t seem sorry at all
I’m scared for Rosie. Obviously she’s getting to the age where she can’t just be left on the floor to fend for herself, I hope she’s getting the extensive physical therapy and all the things she needs to thrive the best she can. I couldn’t imagine leaving my child lying on the floor in the dark while I play video games or something, that scream crying made me wanna cry Lmao
Do you have a child? Honest question
@@squid2133 i do! why? :)
@@squid2133 You don't need to have a child to know you don't leave them unattended on the floor...
@@earthtorebecca1290 hello… my son is now 7 months old and reading the original comment again, I can now say I agree with it. I play league too but I only play when my son is napping or in bed for the night. If he wakes up from a nap while I’m in a game I will put him in his activity center… the only times I leave him on the floor alone to play with his toys are when I need to step away to get something or cook… so here I am admitting I was wrong
@@squid2133 sorry not sorry but being childfree doesn't mean that childfree people can't say anything about someone else's parenting. leaving an infant to lay alone on the *floor* in a different room unsupervised to where a dog can step on them and hurt them is absolutely not okay and dangerous
Thank you for your point on how not all self-harm is cutting your arms with a razor blade. When I was in middle school and high school, I was extremely on Tumblr. Not enough people talk about the damage done to our weird micro generation. I unfortunately found a lot of clever ways to never be seen as the "typical case" self-harmer out of immense fear that people would think I'm "doing it for attention". That paradoxically made little mentally ill me feel like I was faking because the girlies are Tumblr are more "authentically" depressed. That site gave me such weird complexes.
I can excuse a lot of her earlier controversies as just being a stupid kid. we all did cringey, shitty things. however, we're supposed to grow and learn from that. her later controversies - the animal thing, the straight up neglect of her child, the refusing to own up to and apologise for her racism - I cannot excuse or explain away. she's an adult, and she should know better by now. we all have to own up to our mistakes and face the consequences at some point, and it seems like Acacia is paying for hers now.
Just for some added context, I found out her mom is from the same town I grew up in and that she still has family there. This town has a horrendous reputation for racism and the presence of a certain horrible group that wears pointy hats (censoring because not sure if youtube flags that name). So I am not at all surprised by this as the n word was not a rare occurrence in this town.... so I am not surprised that she wasn't given a better example by her parents. I feel really sad for her little sister if the rest of the family did and said things like that too
that’s sad but not surprising. the sister was at acacia’s wedding so at least they seem to be on good terms
@@ashleynorton I hope so. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable with their family. And just to clarify, I am not implying that her family is associated with that group in any way. Just illustrating how those people and beliefs have impacted the culture of this town overall.
I’m sorry if you aren’t confortable, but whats the name of city?
This popped up in my feed out of nowhere and I’m SO GLAD IT DID. You are so hilarious and so witty and so smart and so articulate and just amazing. New favourite creator. You remind me of a female Drew Gooden in your delivery and humour. Love love love.
oh my heart. thank you!!
EXACTLY. word for word how i feel, just subscribed 🥳
x2!! subscribed immediately 🤍
I think it’s important to note that Luke (from 5sos) and Acaia are the same age (still weird for the rumors to be spread but Luke was also a child hisself) so if anyone should be blamed for allowing this type of stuff to happen it should be their parents and management
"Jairus and Acacia" autocorrecting to Gyrosyndication is sending me
I saw that too and literally cackled 🤣
The way she had absolutely 0 sense of urgency when her baby was crying oh my god???
post partum. not every mother feels the need or had the same connection to every baby. not saying it right but it’s explained.
@@zowchii An explanation that has treat. It’s harmful to the baby bonding properly 🤷🏻♀️
@@sourgreendolly7685 you don’t understand the principle of the mental illness then. she incapable of recognizing her being in that state. again no excuse just a better understand of her behavior

I genuinely want a study to be done to study why people will send death threats to people when they do something they don’t like. Send threats over someone you don’t like possibly being cast in a movie is insane. Why do people do this?
She's like a real life awkward comedic relief character in a sitcom, I refuse to accept this is a real person and not a Harvard social experiment.
Acacia Brinley singing Girls by the 1975 is such peak early 2010’s tumblr, wow. This video really sent me down memory lane
Edit: Just subscribed to ur channel!! You've covered so many topics i'm interested in and i'm excited to see what else you put out, you make really entertaining and thoughtful content!!
Literallyyyy I was like of course she sang that song and she was wearing a black circle skirt and what looked to be a striped stop while doing it lmao such peak early 2010’s tumblr
I appreciate you!! its hard finding people who arent in the category of dark stuff/ true crime but who still do storytime ish video essays lol. i mean i love all of the genres but sometimes you just want to watch some "fun drama" where people didnt really get hurt too badly, it feels more personal than reality tv bc youre talking directly to us
i’m so glad i’m not the only one who had this exact experience on tumblr and this whole era of the internet! literally still think about this so much and how i was raised on it lmao, great video!
the boing instead of the gunshot i’m in tears
Hearing O2L and Acacia Brinley talked about is giving me ptsd and nostalgia simultaneously lol
was enjoying my night, minding my old business, and then i had my entire youth abruptly resurrected just by seeing acacia brinlye's name. she had us in a chokehold and i firmly believe she's the reason I thought i looked so good in braces in middle school.
This just randomly showed up in my algorithm, but can I just say how impressed I am with you?! You gave such fair/unbiased takes, and made excellent points (eg Our ingrained culture misogyny, how ppl pile on to young celebs on the internet when often they're literal children crying out for help)- not to sound like an oldster but I don't think when I was your age I was nearly as mature or mentally well-adjusted as you are!
Tldr: SUBBED!💜✨
I agree, I LOVE the way she talks and still takes fair critisism without it sounding rude. We should all take examples from her!
I’m glad you got heated about the animals. People don’t take this stuff seriously enough. I cut off an aunt of mine who had been doing that my entire life. She thought it was fine as long as she found good homes for them or a good rescue.
RUclips reccomendations hit this one out of the park. I appreciate your delivery, the content and research. I'm happy I found your channel!
There are support groups for parents and relatives of children with disabilities. The experience of raising a child with a disability can cause emotional/physical exhaustion, a difficult time connecting with that child, etcetera, and it's important to have a support network. The last thing you should want is for your child's disability to affect how you feel about them.
"She was born on October 22" "Oh! That's tomorrow!" "She was born in Boston, Massachusetts" "Oh! I'm from Boston, Massachusetts!" I think this is enough evidence that I am Acacia Brinley (I'm a 20 year old man)
I adopted my two cats recently and was kind of shocked by how deep the background check went and how many references I needed to even get considered to adopt a pet, but when I hear stories of serial rehomers like Acacia, I get it. (Not to mention the stories of abuse and other unthinkable things. It's good that a lot of agencies are putting in that time and effort to find good homes for their animals.)
I could literally watch vids of yours like this forever. You have such a relaxing voice and are so well researched and spoken. ❤️
Wow, thank you SO much for this video! I had seen Acacia many many times on my dash back in middle school, but I never knew her name or anything about her. I feel like I know everything now! Amazing job. Thanks for unlocking a hidden memory and for exploring it’s entire breadth so eloquently and entertainingly!
I genuinely love watching deep dives about people I've never ever heard of
I honestly don't even blame Acacia for the pets she got and re-homed while she was a minor living with her parents. Why were they even letting her get more and more pets??
Michael is like only 2 years older than her and Luke is 1 year older than her though, so at the time they were all kids. The main problem I think is when she entered the real “pop punk” bands scene when they’re all older and we know all the problems on warped tour yk. She met her husband who is also much more older than her.
your voice and vibe is so comforting to me! it's hard for me to be calm and stimulated at the same time but this is Everything i am living for the info, u feel like a big sis!
Her and Sam's relationship reads to me like a PR stunt paid for by her father. Also the fact that her creepy father was the one to record them being like 14 and acting like a couple on a playground.. just weird and creepy
That baby was crying LOUD and she literally goes "I hear Rosie crying.." ::keeps playing the video game:: I am quaking.. O.O
My dog was nine when I adopted him and the second he met me he was like I’m outta here her energy seems good. He has been showing his gratitude ever since to the point of obsession at times because I was nice to him when others had been neglectful. However I can’t bring him around strangers as a result because of how protective he gets. You can tell the trauma and I see it as my job to just spoil him for the few years he has left. Thank you for making it such an important point!
acacia has been a skinny legend since toddlerhood
Period.
I agree but I remember her being called out for photoshopping her pics to appear even skinnier. Also, since having three children and a boob job, she did gain a bit of weight, but she still looks amazing (especially if you consider she had three kids in a short periodt of time)
i’m obsessed with your channel you’re chatting up in my ears for the past three days
Do I know who this girl is? No. Will I watch this 40 minute long video about her controversies? Yes.
To be fair, I don't trust the Air B&B review from the owner at all. Most Air B&B stuff to come out lately really proves that a lot of owners don't care, overcharge, and get defensive when asked about issues. This is not to defend anything else, but Air B&B is always sus.
Omg I remember the tumblr photography era and quality blog era and then within it there was a huge divide between people wanting to do photography and people wanting to take selfies 💀
She's back on IG, divorced, no longer showing the kids, and she posted a picture with the 2 dogs 😵💫
this is so well put together & the nostaligia is hitting harddd 😩 thank you for sharing, i feel like you've answered questions i didnt even know i had🤣
I remember transitioning from tumblr to twitter in 2013 and the circle I was a part of was in that realm of young girls who used both platforms religiously (lol). Everyone I was friends with clowned on her sooooo hard. Everyday people were making memes about her and making fun of her. I probably joined in at the time cause when I was 16 I wad a sheep and wanted to participate in what was funny lol. The number one insult i remember people calling her was mispronouncing her name as “akakia”. At a point it got over the top to to me and obsessive to just essentially love to hate her. I know she’s done bad things, and in ways yeah she is a bad person… but I do feel bad about how cruel me and my friends used to be to her. I’m glad I got out of that phase in my life and can evaluate people on a rational level rather than emotional one.
I called her "Acockia" 😂
Shes literally an abusive parent. Omfg that baby needs to be given to a good family.
This is incredibly well done, well researched and high quality video. I can see you becoming big on here! Great job.
That comment from the Ait BNB saying that people conceive there 💀💀💀
Not that it makes much of a difference because I don’t think it’s true but Luke is only 1 year older than acacia so I don’t think I’d class it as a ‘grown man’ taking advantage of her - they were both just teenagers
I’ve had dogs my entire life, and while acacia was 100% in the wrong about neglecting her animals and got rightfully called out for it, I don’t think yelling at your dog to stop barking qualifies as abuse.
Yea they just think youre also barking lmao
it depends the amount of times they hear screaming honestly. i grew up in a house where people would scream at each other a lot (so it wasn't even directed at my dog) but when people would raise their voice my dog would start shaking and he'd hide. So yes, if you're yelling at someone or at your dog all the time, they will develop an anxiety disorder/ptsd. they're living creatures, not objects.
@@keithgm9574 I do think it also depends on the dog. My childhood dog got yelled at a lot to stop barking but it just assumed we were barking with it and sometimes she would listen and stop barking. But it was never truamatic to her, you just had to yell to get over her barking.
We took care of the dog really well lived until it was 19. But it was a jack russel that would bark a lot. But our other dog Rosie would be the type of dog to get anxiety if you yelled at her. We know this so we never yell at her. She gets anxious with loud noises in general so it would be truamatic to her.
Also no one said dogs were an object. Like chill out.
it really just depends on the dog, same way one child who gets yelled at may turn out fine while another could develop extreme anxiety or possible worse. my mom yells at my dog when she barks/ does any behavior my mom deems undesirable and its made my dog develop horrible anxiety, to the point that she’ll sometimes get so scared she defecates. and from what i remember the dog acacia was yelling at already struggled with behavioral issues so i think it’s incredibly wrong to yell at an animal like that instead of addressing the root of the issues :/
literally obsessed with your videos rn i cant stop watching
She's a terrible mother and that's infuriating. How can you be that callous!?!
Give me one reason how she's a terrible mother lol. have you physically witnessed abuse? neglect? if not shut the hell up lol. 98% of y'all aren't even mothers
@@Mlbb_370-x6n okay acacia we understand that you’re on your side account but you’re assuming no one on here except you(acacia) are a mom. If you’re not actually acacia you’re being real weird defending her this hard over nothing and still assuming no one except her and maybe you are a mom
"John Green most popularly known today as the brother of Hank Green" has me SCREAMING. The amount of times I had to explain who Hank was as "you know John Green... who wrote The Fault in Our Stars... this is his brother". Crazy times
16:28 “I respect her because lack of talent has never slowed her down.” LMFAO 💀💀💀
Edit: 18:10 I’m not saying it was ok for them to be asking for n*des but Michael is the same age as Sam and Luke is actually younger than Michael, so...... if she was born in 97 and you said she was 15 at the time, then Luke was 16 and Michael was 17, just stating the facts over here.
The way I wanted that prom dress so bad! It is gorgeous and you rocked it bestie!
Thank you so much for explaining this I was a 1D Stan but my friend was a 5SOS Stan and she HATED Acacia and I never quite grasped where the visceral hatred and loathing was coming from
Her animal abuse is extremely disturbing and unforgivable.
I'm sorry but ya'll are holding these teens to a way too low standard. An 18yo isn't 10. They HAVE to know if they can take care of a pet, and be a loving parent. Just to get an animal and not take proper care of them is just a sign of carelessness and stupidity. I was 15 when we got a dog on my request, and I was the only one taking her out in the morning anad evening, feeding her, playing with her, taking care of her. There is no excuse. An animal isn't a tshirt you don't like anymore
really great video. i just knew the picture you have in the thumbnail and it`s really interesting (but also really sad) what happend to the person in her youth and what stuff she did doing since adulthood (especially the situation with her pets are horrifying)
She went to my middle school for a month and that is my claim to fame
Wow it’s weird learning about her. I always remembered seeing her picture everywhere
HOW did I not know any of this besides the new stuff?? Also loving your videos - can’t wait to see you grow!
this brings me back to being 12 years old with an acacia meme page (basically a hate/tea page. kids are assholes & i was a huge one lmao). the hate pages for her had thousands of more followers than the fan pages. such a weird time on social media
these still exist on twitter, it’s crazy
Omg yes I can remember hate pages were SO common especially those hating on kids. Now I cannot wrap my head around the fact that we were oppenly hating on children?! such a weird time on social media. Glad those days are semi over. Cyber bullying is no joke
You just made me remember when I followed her instagram & people were bashing a video of her singing so she posted about how her parents took her to a doctor when she was a little girl because they literally thought she was tone-deaf cause of the way she would sing.. I thought it was hilarious at the time cause I didn’t even know she had a band or anything so it just seemed like a weird trauma-dump.
Her parents were definitely foul for that one…
On a similar note... The late 00s of the "scene" were hard for girls in the Warped Tour scene. We wanted to look like those alt girls online so badly. Reason I wasn't into early '10s internet culture because of it.
sam "PATORFF" Im deadddddd. also yes this video is so spot on and bringing back so much nostalgia omfg
I don’t think I ever want kids but seeing the way she treats Rosie makes me want to adopt her and take care of her so bad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 that poor sweet baby
This is the second time of me watching this bc I love tumble history lol. So I was too old at the time to be following the Acacia controversies, but everything you speak on about mental health is spot on. I was and still do struggle with that unsympathetic line of thinking that was rampant back then. Like I’ve been living with my brain for 28 years and I still have to check myself now and then bc just bc I’m not “self harming in a typical way” doesn’t mean I’m faking it. Lol I honestly feel bad for this girl bc I was old enough to know better and still got caught up in the pettiness.
I took those screenshots of the v*brator ad involving her children… I was legit in so much shock/disgust that she would post that. I even covered the children’s faces myself before reposting it because I found it so disturbing. I don’t think that was a mistake, anyone with a brain could connect the dots on why that was disturbing. That was the point of no return for her in my opinion personally. I won’t give her any excuses for that and when she was ignoring Rosie crying after leaving her alone on the floor.. in that clip you hear her yell “I hate that” to I’m assuming Rosie before returning to the computer. She also posted them in only fans content… I think cps should have been involved and I still do. I hope those kids are doing okay, specifically Rosie.
Thank you for covering their faces poor kids 😞
i remember her black hair era when she was into the band scene. i remember being lowkey a hater that this rich white girl was famous for showing off the clothes and aesthetic that was pretty expensive. as an adult now she seems like she is lowkey exploiting her kids as a mom aesthetic blogger.
as someone who rehomed a dog when i was around the same age as acacia (i was 18), it’s understandable that someone that age might underestimate how much work a pet is, but i would not adopt another dog that close to rehoming the first one
i took that 5sos 1d era so seriously like staying home from school to hate tweet…..
This is fascinating because 1. I came across Acacia on RUclips randomly one day and then BAM commentary videos. 2. I never knew of tumblr or anything like that 🤣 I appreciate deep dives. Thank you ma’am.
I hate when people treat their animals so flippantly like they can just get and give them away all the time :(
what i don’t understand about acacia is that she never tries to hide or cover up her mistakes? like she’s so used to over sharing that she doesn’t realize all of this stuff makes her look really bad? she blatantly neglects rosie and then mentions it on stream like it’s no big deal. she sets herself up like this time after time and she still doesn’t get it.
I can't say I liked this video because I found it to be really sad, but I think it was a well done video and I watched the whole thing. I've been ninging all your content in the last few days. As a mom of a special needs kid, I legit cried when poor rosie was stepped on by the dog. I would NEVER leave my kid alone on the floor in the dark unsupervised with a dog around, even if the child did not have a disability. I am insanely worried for Rosie, and I hope that these two parents step up and treat her better. Also the stuff with the animals. I just lost my cat I've had since I was young and the last year he has basically been in hospice care and it has been incredibly difficult, not aesthetic and kind of depressing and gross, but I did what I needed to do because when you adopt a pet, I firmly believe it should be for forever. But on the other hand I am kind of glad those animals were rehomed because who knows what would have happened if they weren't. I remember Acacia from the old tumblr days, but I never knew much about her personal life. I don't like the things she does, the kids, the racism, the pets but also I feel really bad for her. Honestly what she went through sounds traumatic, and it seems like either mother or father or both really drilled into her that she needed to "be a star" or something and she craved all that attention. I definitely also think it is terrible that she obviously had mental health issues and no one helped that poor kid. But again she is an adult now, and I would think she would have gained more insight from what she went through...I hope also she stops showing her kids publically that is really scary that predators are collecting her kids photos. I think Acacia needs someone to help her, sit her down, therapy, something.
first of all i have been trying to remember the name for “quality blogs” for so long now second of all TYVM for promoting shelter animals/adopting (i work in shelter medicine) and thank you for adopting 💖
I forgot about her creepy dad’s photography Instagram page omg. The way he would take pictures of these young girls and the parents would allow it?
As an update, it looks like she decided to shut down her patreon just a few weeks ago! Also, great video!
acacia rapping at the end was a jumpscare
The thing with Cotton is that he was their family cat :( she had him back when she was on tumblr and there are a few photos of her with him, idk why they originally had him in their home but for her to treat her longest pet that way was horrible! I've followed Acacia for over a decade at this point, it's crazy to see how she turned out tbh
on the hairless cats suppodely being hypoallergenic thing, i think it's so ignorant and irresponsible that people perpetrate that misinformation because like you said, its not really the hair that's the allergen for people allergic to cats, it's like the oils on the skin and skin flakes and saliva and stuff. sphynx cats need regular bathing because of the dirt and oil buildup they get since there's no hair to absorb it and keep it off the skin so theoretically they can possibly be *worse* for people allergic to cats
i honeslty just opened the description box, saw the quote and SCREAMED
Luke was the baby of 5sos (July 1996 - can’t believe i remember that) so he was also underage and only a year older than Acacia. His mum used to tour with them at the time cos he was a minor. I’m sure it’s all made up though
Lol I remember acacia tweeted asking how much she should charge on depop for an iPad with a cracked screen and I think I said something around $100 and she kinda flipped out about it lol
everything aside, i really love the looking for alaska mini series. it was basically everything i could have hoped for as a 14 year old whose favorite book was looking for alaska
Same here! I absolutely adored it.
Being able to admit how irresponsible she was with animals back in the day, is honestly a hugeeeee step forward for her so I’m happy to see that.
