to be fair, ‘controversial‘ would imply that the person does something that causes lots of people to debate on whether it was a good or bad thing to do. whereas i think most people can agree that pedophilia is bad
@@fissionabledolphinseriously, the word "controversial" has lost its meaning something thats controversial is relating to or causing much discussion, disagreement or argument. When a creator does something controversial it means its something that many are split on weither or not its a good or bad thing, or what should the consequences be ect. When a youtuber is revealed to be a groomer such as the case of mandopony, then there's not much discussion or debate on the morality of that since most agree its a shitty thing However a case like johnochrome is controversial, because while he was revealed to have been with a minor, he and the now adult woman stated that there was no sexual activity unless she turned an adult, so is what he did as bad as a full groomer? And what should the consequences be for him? That is a controversy.
@@AtlasRiptus oh sorry you had to find out like this. I dont know much myself so you best look into it, but yeah Mandopony left youtube cause he was found grooming someone
It’s crazy seeing the different directions both Pat and Jen went on after the divorce. I grew up on them, and watching his life go downhill while Jen is living her best life is really sad.
I think Pat chose the wrong people to be around after the divorce and his mental health has suffered and got him into trouble. I hope he gets the help he needs.
I mean its understandable why Pat and Jen would have such big disagreements, having kids or not is a big deal, and different people have vastly different opinions, but honestly they should have had some way to resolve the debate in the first place. Also way to many people make the mistake in nose-diving into having kids, its something you need to prepare for, otherwise it can destroy your life if your not ready for it.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 I agree. It’s just a shame Pat hasn’t had a happy ending like Jen (and by happy ending I mean living his best life, he seems to be struggling which is upsetting)
You’re unfortunately correct he chose the wrong people he’s been dealing shit with his shitty girlfriend liz even though he loves her and honestly he should leave her because she’s basically hurting his ass and don’t think he should be with her because she’s a dickhead unfortunately i know that he is trying to help her but i think he should leave her because it’s brutally honest but i think it’s probably the right way to leave her and move on her and he’s should make some good choices and stray away from dating people and focus on his life first
Exactly this, from what I saw, made bad choices and met the wrong people... someone told me dating in the modern era? It's not advised, finding good people for good relationships 2019 onwards became... rare. That kind of experience forever messes with someone's mind and... it's sad. I've actually seen good people lose their minds after getting with the wrong people, or be influenced by fake friends who wanted nothing more than "yesmen" to do as they say... it's sad.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 them not having kids wasn’t the main reason, another reason is because they both had different futures and wanted to take different paths in their life
@@conee1499 Yeah, I loved watching those videos back when he was making them. I haven't been keeping up with Pat's personal life at all for a long time, so it's very sad to see all this stuff happen.
In that world he would be happy and would not drink so much. I heard the pain in his voice when he said "We both deserve to be happy in life..." He clearly was making a sacrifice and pretending everything was ok.
true, and what would have happened if he hadnt dated again for several years? i feel like dating other people so soon off of *tinder* was the primary reason for alot of this
@@jayla4914 I really think he just said that, since because saying you got divorced with your wife because they wanted kids, makes you kinda look bad. but I wouldn't know, I only watched pat for so long.
This is an unfair situation Pat and Jen separated respectfully They loved each other so much that they could let eachother go. Pat knew Jen wanted kids, didn't stop her wish, and supported her decision. Everything was fine, but Pat got f'd up by the wrong people Jen got another husband that treats her well While Pat got nothing but trouble makers and deceivers.
@@YehNahYehAyy I don't believe he's the victim obviously He is very much in the wrong along with his exes. I still hold on to my childhood nostalgia but I do look at the reality behind it.
@@YehNahYehAyy he was fine with jen the entire time the moment he dates people who are batshit crazy it goes downhill immediately it's his fault partially, you need to control that type of stuff, but it defo wouldn't have happened if he picked better women
@@gibdo1675 I think the reason is cause Jen and Him didn't really drink so she probably didn't experience how he acted when drinking. I'm not saying he's an alcoholic but the pattern with his 2 gf after the drama was involved with both of them drinking which drinking in it self can impact how you act and your behavior but being drunk in both cases could have effected him as well. I know there's a comment that he posted that might have been deleted saying he's dealing with some personal things but I feel like these are the key differences with his time with Jen and his time with other people he's dating. Jen never really enabled things. While his newer gfs have whether it's cause the stress of the drama with the first one or Liz was enable him seeing how he reacts when drinking and still choose to drink along with him. I don't think we will ever get the full picture of what happened or if Jen was just an exception to what's happen now. I hope he gets better though cause it's sad to see this all go down. But both parties are at fault in both cases doxing is illegal and instead of taking Legal action with the first gf Pat doxed her to. And Liz despite there being a pattern and Pat noticing a pattern there could be more to story we just will never know.
This is sad. Everyone's sad. Even Pat is sad. Jen is sad. Eleni went through 5 stages of grief. Liz is still probably contemplating what happened. Yeah, everyone, except Eleni, is sad. Also, I'm sad too. PopularMMOS was one of the fundamental building blocks of my childhood. It's sad.
I feel bad for pat. There was a comment, I think it has been since deleted. But Pat openly admitted that he wanted to start recording videos again as he missed it, and that he was dealing with alot of mental health problems. If I find a screenshot again I will edit this comment with the whole thing written on it. Its just sad to see a man that practically raised you suffer so much. Edit: Personally I don't think people should be jumping the gun to hate and spread false info. There's no incriminating proof, only well placed "coincidences" that can be explained rather easily: One of them being pat getting accused of stuff just as his channel is dropping in views, which very much could be attributed to the fact his upload schedule wasn't as active and consistent as before, nor did he evolve his content creation. None of us know Pat personally, but what we do know is that on the internet, while "Innocent until Proven Guilty" is always the go to, the opposite should always be taken with skepticism as far too many people lie about serious accusations, and the mentality of "Guilty until Proven Innocent" has NOT worked out well 99% of the time as the accuser has always been found to be a liar doing it for clout.
@@YehNahYehAyy if you are referring to bring arrested because of his ex-girlfriend accusing him of bad stuff, than your disgusting. If not, than please explain how he is horrible?
I'm really considering coming back... I don't need money or anything. I really genuinely miss it all a lot. I started because I loved it and it would make me happy. It would probably be with my friends. It wouldnt be with Jen, she has her own life. Money wise I was smart compared to most RUclipsrs. I invested my money. I don't need anything from anyone. Not even close. I just want to entertain people and have a good time, which will make a lot of people happy. (i think this is the comment)
@@TheChristianWood I think so, but there was also another one referred to his current (?) wife which also included alot of what Pat's been going through.
The one thing i feel somewhat relieved about is that Jen, the ex-wife is always seen supporting Pat the entire way in the background while seeing his life crumbling down. I just wish they had stayed in contact since they're clearly close friends even after the divorce, which seemed peaceful. It's just that Pat seemed to be a bit rushed and emotional after his divorce to move on to another relationship. Not helping with the fact that him and Eleni's relationship is clearly a toxic one, he started being a bit more aggresive and emotionally charged on his next one with Liz. I never really grew up with PopularMMOs, but i have always known about their existence, i thought they're just another channel lost to time, but it turns out that Pat's fate is a downward spiraling one. Atleast he's doing alright atm, and that's what the people growing up with him wanted.
You forgot to mention the community posts Pat posted on Popularmmos. On the 3 posts, he talked about the situation and what was going on from his perspective and also said he wanted to and would maybe return sometime soon. He also states that Jen wont be joining him if he does return. I wonder if anything happened or if he realized how awkward it had been
Well I figure since Jen finally started a family and has a kid of her own, she would want to spend time with him and her husband understandably, so really it makes sense Jen won't show up anymore even if it saddensus as fans of both Pat and Jen.
@@hectorgp3044 Yeah I agree. She has also stopped posting on her YT from what I last saw, she's only active on insta now meaning she might've quit completely. I hope that's the explanation for that anyway, and not that something happened between her and Pat, but who knows. Maybe they just don't talk anymore.
All Pat wants is to play games, since it’s his job and one that he loves very much, with the person he loves. Like working with the person you love sounds amazing. It’s just the people he’s been with have done him wrong.
@@enqrypted4758 i believe they meant the people since the divorce. Both Pat and Jen seem pretty chill regarding their status as exes and are reasonable with each other if what we can see is to be believed.
it’s honestly so sad to see a youtuber you’ve grown up with- and called your home- have such a dark history and so much drama. i remember watching his lucky block challenges and feel so happy- but now i just feel sad.
Pat, if you see this, I hope you're doing okay. You had such a magnificent rise and such a tragic fall. It's not your fault that things ended badly. Eleni, the emotional abuser, is probably the worst bounce off person for a divorced man. Stay safe, we love you.
@@kiwuuspurr1927 she’s bipolar and she’s actively hurting him because of her behaviour and pat has been in a bad relationship with her and im not saying that we should attack her like pat said but he might have to ultimately leave her and i think that he should let liz help herself because she is not a very good person and also she’s bipolar but needs let herself heal honestly pat should let himself heal too instead of trying to date another woman
I honestly stopped watching Pat and Jen during their Minecraft walking dead series, moving on to other creators at the time, so it hit me bad when I decided to search his channel up again for the nostalgia,expecting some more Modded Minecraft shenanigans from the couple, only to see that Jen has divorced him and his life spiraling down to more pain and suffering. It hit me like a freight train.
Popularmmos always seemed like the type of youtuber to never change, his intro was the same, he dated Jen for a long time, and they basically did the same video without feeling like they needed to change things up, they just went with what was comfortable for them. They played modded Minecraft so much that at this point, they don’t even understand how normal Minecraft works lol. Which I thought was really funny, I thought if nothing else, they would always stay like that. Shame to see this is happening to him. I hope he realizes he can be loved without needing materialistic things to prove his love.
i think something that's really important that i never seem to see mentioned by anyone is that his fans were absolutely horrible around the time he divorced jen eleni might have been a bitch but none of his fans knew that when they were sending her death threats for simply being in popularmmos' videos to the point he had to make like 3 videos begging them to stop the divorce was blown out of proportion because his fans whined on and on about it in the comments of every single one of his videos and attacked pat when he referred to jen as his ex-wife in a video literally nothing changed when they divorced initially they were still making videos together but his fans acted like it was the end of the world and i really think that was a huge contributor to his downfall i cant imagine having to deal with all that real life stuff while also having a bunch of toxic children who probably don't know basic algebra constantly giving their stupid opinions about your personal life while you're just trying to entertain them with minecraft videos and i seriously wonder if his career would have gone down the same path if his fans would have accepted his personal decisions and quit worrying about stuff that really wasn't any of their business
They have done so many fucked up things and everyone is always like: “it’s cause he has kid viewers” but No actual kid watches him anymore, because his type of content isn’t what new kids would like. They like lankyblox and RUclipsrs who are more fast paced and scripted. That’s where the trend is right now. It doesn’t make sense to label them kids, it makes more sense to call them what they most likely are, Teenagers, or adults in their mid to early twenties, who are smart enough to understand what empathy is and how to read context, popularmmos has the most childish and whiniest community, not because of their actual age but because of their mentality. This community needs to stop acting like they’re younger than they actually are, and they need to stop living in their little world thinking solutions needs to be handed to them on a silver platter, in perfect fantasy. They need to grow tf up. Plain and simple.
Some of the communities problem; 1) Eleni: Before any word of her was even brought out, before any drama, people were already sending death threats and telling her to kill herself. All because it wasn’t Jen on the screen and they were worried Eleni would replace Jen. I want everyone to note this was before she was *exposed* just to nail it into everything’s thick skull who still thinks everything the community does is okay. Pat has done multiple videos to which he called this out, he even at one point got so sick and tired of the bullshit, he actually started revealing the people that were sending it, their profile and everything. So that they would stop. And he even brought Jen into the video, after nothing had changed. Update: after some time of her appearing, the drama begin to dive down, and people slowly accepted her, and even though it looked on the RUclips side, like everyone was getting along, people were still fighting on social media. Some were even trying to justify themselves, saying how they accept her but than also saying they won’t watch the video anymore as long as she is there. I don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out That means you don’t actually accept her.
3) Eleni finally comes out with claims. And what do people do? They decide to take Eleni side, and pat loses some subs due to it. That’s right. They would rather believe a person they known for what? A couple of months than a person they known for more than a year. And decides to leave him just like that. Its not like Pat wasn’t good to her. Its like pat gave her gifts. Its not like pat did EVERYTHING in his power to make sure she didn’t get harassed. Its not like pat risked everything to even call the fan base. Nope. He did not love her, and he was just abusive right? 4) Eleni Doxxes Pat, to which Pat response with a tweet saying “here” and decided to doxx Eleni’s address. Everyone gets mad at pat, not ELENI but at PAT. Pat later apologizes, saying that the doxx was *fake* and the address wasn’t actually real. He was just mad and wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. And yet his community is mad just because he thought of doing it, they said pat should be better, even though pat outright said it wasn’t real, get off your high horse, pat shouldn’t have to apologize for that. And why is he getting all the hate for doxxing a fake address when Eleni was the one who dox him with a real one?
5) word finally comes out from Pat and he tells his side of the story, he claims that he and Eleni dated and that showed receipts that her claims were either false or she left some stuff out to make her look better. You’d think at this point, the community would apologize or at least comfort Pat? No, what they did instead was say “I knew it”, “this is why you listen to us pat” (real comments) are you kidding me? That’s your initial thought process? That’s apathic. And no, you didn’t know it. You had a SUSPICION. You had one thought, a doubt. But you didn’t know it. There is a lot more but you are most likely not gonna read this far and also I’m going to post it on Reddit lol
I remember the days when I was merely a 3rd grader and used to get so excited to see their videos after coming home from school and man oh man were those the days. I practically grew up on Pat and Jen and seeing how Pat has spiraled into what appears to be this never ending sequence of trouble and misfortune really hurts to see. Pat, if you’re out there somewhere, I want you to that your fans and I miss you dearly and wish you all the best!🙌✊❤️
Its so sad because I grew up with Pat and Jen and they were my favorite youtubers when I was like 7. I would always ask my mom to turn the "Minecraft RUclipsrs" on the TV and she understood. I am sorry for Pat because of how much his life went downhill.
Ever since I was four I watched pat for more than a decade. He was such a star in the spotlight. Seeing this kind of decline in pat’s life is showing me that he deserves the world because he was just one of the best people ever on RUclips. He helped kids by giving them some sense of imagination, joy, and laughter. If one could go back in time to somehow keep pat and Jen’s relationship intact then, he would not have had this kind of stuff happen to him. Lots of people love him and he was a childhood hero to us.
It seems like he was jumping into relationships before actually mentally recovering from the divorce, people should always take a break before getting into another relationship and make sure to check any toxic/abusive behavior of the person before its too late.
i feel bad for pat, since he's like a kid (although he is our childhood), all he wants to do is play games and have fun and do cool things, all pat wanted to do is play a game with someone he loves.
@@karmaqqz9298 and made a living off of playing games so it’s very logical for him to continue to do so? especially if he wants to? or are you not allowed to play games anymore when u hit a certain age bc i wasn’t informed of that rule.
It’s crazy seeing this because I just checked out his channel the other day to see he hasn’t posted in over a year after I thought I saw him public at my job (or at least someone who resembles him). Mans has been through it since I left the channel, don’t remember when exactly that was but after the 2,000th lucky block video I decided I wasn’t the target audience anymore. I had been watching him for years since back in the days of the modded mob battles and I used to come home everyday anticipating one of his uploads. I hope he’s making the best decisions for his life wherever he is. Best of luck out there Pat.
Pat and Jen were the first RUclipsrs I ever watched. I would watch all their videos and I loved them. I hope that Pat gets over his mental health issues, and (if he feels up to it) make stuff for the enjoyment of himself and not just for us.
its really so tragic what happened. these guys were my second parents and i loved them both so much. seeing pat hurt like this is just so heart wrenching
@@guyferrari8124 A good person can turn bad pretty quick. Pat's videos have always seemed clickbait-y to me and at some point it was a willful spiral down. You can ALWAYS cut people out of your life, especially if it's someone like Eleni.
@@Astrophel24 So Pat is a bad person due to the fact he seems clickbaity, wouldn't that make 90% of youtubers bad then? even if they have an angelic atitude?
@@TrollFace93 I didn't say clickbait makes you a bad person however when looking at Pat's content featuring Eleni [or whatever her name is] It's all just ... the thumbnails don't really fit for the narrative of someone who is genuinely posting it because they're upset or going through a hard time but more like they're trying to use the situation to gain more views. It really feels like Pat lacked maturity in all this drama and could've stopped it at any time. Also doxxing someone is NOT "angelic behaviour", unless the person you're doxxing is abusing animals and such, you shouldn't be doing it.
I just hope, one day, Pat could recover from all the horrible things they have done to him, and maybe even enough to start making consistent uploads again. He was such an integral part of my childhood, and seeing things like this is a true heartbreak. I wish only better for Pat.
My dad was actually a close friend of Pat so we would always ask about Everytime he met up with him. I eventually heard from my father about his worries of Pat’s mental state and the possible causes. There were many signs that showed how far things have gone and the cause, but I don’t wanna disrespect Pats privacy top much. But most of his spiraling down was because of Jen leaving him, she was basically his only real happiness and it upsets me having to see someone rely on the idea of past relationships to cope with mental illness.
@@slenderblakchannelDarkNess Ok, so wanting kids is a very big decision, like not everyone wants kids, and that's fine. I don't either. I can't marry someone who wants kids, because making an actual HUMAN is something both parents should want. They did the right thing, they loved each other but that isn't a thing you can compromise.
I feel extremely bad for Pat, I used to watch both Pat and Jens channel a long time ago and missed A LOT of the drama, Only in the past year or so ive heard about the break up, and then awhile after all the toxic relationships plus arrests, etc. This makes me feel sad to be honest, seeing some of my favorite creators have their lives go down hill - like many people have said in the comments i think, but seeing many other creators still living their life. I do hope things get better for Pat in time, and again, like people are saying, it seems like things ARE already getting better, just have to wait i suppose.
The fact that you can tell that he stopped lifting weights (something he clearly loved since he had a whole gym in his house) when he was dating Eleni speaks volumes Like look at how much muscle mass is gone in 2:52 compared to 0:21 when he was with Jen
I don't frequently type out long texts but wow.. Honestly there's nothing we can do to help him out of the void other than be that little space where we're fans, he's the content creator and we support him, it's really him that has to figure out how to get out of that rut and try to steer himself in a direction where he can be happier. Personally my opinion, no matter how harsh it is, he should cut his gf out of his life, it might be cruel and heartless but you cannot save someone who doesn't want to be saved, even if they want to be saved they certainly can't get that proper treatment from another normal man, that person has to do it themselves and take personal strides forward, I hope pat realizes he isn't responsible for taking care of another human being and sometimes, there are just bad endings, it doesn't have to be like that for him though.
@@estherhooker697 I think he is talking about Jen. Since Pat didn’t want any kids, he needed to respect her wishes by letting her go. If Pat does return, it will be a one-man show. That means no partners, not even Jen herself since she has her own life now.
@@estherhooker697 pretty sure that the problem is that while Liz maybe didnt do anything, it's a very toxic relationship that keeps repeating since they keep getting together. They both need to cut eachother out of their life since their relationship clearly isnt healthy
It's not that easy when it takes such a toll on your mental health. He mentioned she has bipolar, which can destroy all your relationships. He also probably really wants to help her with that and everything so leaving isn't easy. I hope the right things happen to both of them
@@velvetdraws3452 That's only what his girlfriend said though and he has denied it. Obviously that doesn't mean he's innocent but there's no evidence of him doing it either
@@velvetdraws3452 except the claims were found false (unless it's different Pat assault claims I've heard, but also made up by Eleni or whatever her fucking name is)
I miss the old days... All the RUclipsrs we grew up watching weren't just content creators, people who had no issues. They were people, and I miss those people.
Pat and Jen made my childhood. To see one of my childhood heroes decline like this is really sad. I’m glad Jen is living a happy life, but I hope Pat can find inner peace and get the help he needs… He was around the wrong people and got into toxic relationships… I hope he will be ok.
eleni manipulating and gaslighting pat making him think they never dated is wild. i cant believe she even tried asking for 50/50 when she said they never dated. its crazy how she tried getting so much money from him
growing up watching both pat and jen left good memories of laughing at all their humorous videos and minecraft gameplays, but seeing how so much of pats life has just been dropped in a ditch due to relationship issues is just sad. Jen and pats relationship only had one big inconvenience, while eleni and liz had worse experiences with their relationships with pat. I feel like Jen was Pat's relationship together would have worked out best even with inconveniences they would deal with
I started watching Pat when he started season 1 of epic proportions, he's how I found RUclips and was a huge part of my childhood, I still go back and watch some of his early videos every few months.
Him and Jen had many differences between eachother but pat truly loved jen, this is probably why his mental health deteriorated, and got involved with the wrong people, i dont really care if he someday makes videos again, i just want him to be okay
You have to take it with a grain of salt though. Cause channels like these main purpose is for clickbait, or over exaggerating a situation. Doesn’t mean everything is faked but still.
That knife incident is fucking chilling. I also had an experience like that when my dad got drunk once and threatened to kill me with a knife. Some people (men) go batshit insane when they get piss drunk.
This comment hit like bricks because I too stopped watching 4 years ago, for me specifically was Jan-Feb of 2019 and its crazy how fast time has passed 💀
Same here, the last major vid relating to PopularMMOS that I watched was a video talking about his girlfriend taking advantage of him, and by that time I havent been watching him for atleast 2 years. Its sad to see how bad his life turned out to be after everything. Hope Pat is doing atleast better now.
Dang, this sucks to hear. I used to watch him about 6, 7, years ago, and I remember he made some great videos. I haven't heard of him since then, but watching this made me cry a bit inside.
Pat and Jen built my childhood, thier probably the reason enjoy gaming instead of something else. It’s sad to see the way Pat has gone with his life, I hope he gets back on his feet.
Last time I heard of Pat and his situation was the video with his two ex'es. I really thought eleni and pat were alright then and jen just went her own way in her own new life somewhere. Matt should've kept a lot of his personal stuff behind the camera in the first place. Pat and jen were one of many people i looked up growing up watching Minecraft videos. A damn shame these people i used to look up are in really sad situations.
Pat and Jen made up a huge chunk my childhood. It felt really surreal when they got divorced (I was unaffected, obviously) and it makes me sad to see Pat like this. I'm glad he got out of his wrongful arrest though. I'm also glad Jen is doing well :)
I do not have sufficient information to make any claims on whether or not Pat was in the right. I'll just state my opinions of every major point. 1. A major problem right off the bat was the fanbase's extremely negative reaction to the divorce. Being sad that they divorced is fine, but being angry at anyone for it was simply ridiculous. Pat made three separate videos essentially begging his followers to stop harassing Eleni. Regardless of your opinion on Eleni, you have to feel at least somewhat bad for her for the relentless abuse from people online. No one deserves that. 2. While I do believe Pat's side of the story of the Eleni situation (and I won't deny my bias here), I don't think it was right to share this kind of drama online. Not much else to say, since I don't know the full story. 3. Given the charges were dropped in the first arrest story, I have to assume innocence. But the stress of being arrested, combined with the almost certain bad reaction from some people, probably didn't do much good for Pat's mental health. 4. Obviously, Jen liking that tweet was a mistake. "Don't believe everything you hear" is the only thing I can really say here. 5. Leaking Eleni's address was a hugely terrible thing to do. You should never leak someone's personal information online for any reason. I can't imagine Pat was in the right state of mind when he made this tweet, but he's still at fault. 6. I don't know. The second arrest has very sparse details for obvious reasons, and it would be wrong for me to assume anything. 7. Again, given the outcome of the third arrest, I have to assume innocence. Overall, I really wish I knew more. Taking a side when you don't have important details is something that should be refrained from doing. And to an extent, I feel bad for every person mentioned in these stories.
This was my childhood. My favourite parts of them was the Crafting Dead as well as their mod showcases. Its heartbreaking to see your favourite childhood idols steeped down so low,
People also arent acknowledging enough that the fans themselves had a hugely negative impact as well. So many people kept talking about how sad it was and how much they want him to stay together and they kind of just didnt let him move on. Anything he ever did with himself or someone new was immediately met with sorrow and critisim that Jen wasnt involved. I think its really terrible of these fans who just dont understand that these are real people with real lives and real issues, not characters you can pit together because they're entertaining. Imagine having thousands of people who are too immature to accept a break up and constantly berate you for not being with her anymore. It would be a huge amount of pressure for anyone to handle and I'm sure it made the process way more difficult for him
Back then when they started minecraft was literally almost like my childhood I grew up with them. I understand about their breakup because that’s just some people but compare that like back when they were doing their best together in the channel and look at them now, two sides of the coin. One doing terribly while the other is living their best life
Its really awful seeing the person who made you smile everyday be the one to bring you down, Im happy for Jen and I hope the best for Pat, he clearly has some mental health problems that need to be seen by a professional. Even if he doesn't come back to youtube I just hope he can get his life back on track
I always wonder if Pat regrets not wanting kids. He's an adult who can make major life decisions that deserve no judgment from us or anyone, but I wonder if he looks back and wonders if he decided differently. His life would likely be 100 times better and he would definitely be happier.
Kids can also make it worse, trust me I seen some families and some fucked up kids and the parents are pretty much done. Some kids are even teenagers. (Parents aren’t always the fault of bad behaviour btw.) I don’t think he does. Especially in the state he’s in due to the relationship that caused him those arrests. I don’t even think he’ll go into another relationship any time soon. I wouldn’t after being arrested because of some crazy manipulative abusive woman. You can not want kids and never want kids. You’re life isn’t unhappy if you don’t have kids. I never want kids, but I’d be happy without either way. Just depends on the person.
@@MrSegadude21 I meant that they can make it worse in a whole. Not just pats life. Seen some plenty of suffering parents. But, if he doesn’t want kids, then that’s it. That’s something plenty of people don’t regret. I just mean kids don’t always make a life happier and ‘100 times better’. You can make your life way more happier without kids. Someone’s life can be 100 times better without kids. Many childless people are living their best lives, having fun, going out, doing what they love and some are even pretty comfortable with finance. Many people have dream jobs right? Having a kid could and has ruined that for the parent. They stopped the parent from getting that job, especially if said kid takes up too much time to raise and the job cannot fit all that in. Boom. A dream crushed. Plus, in his mental state, it’s probably best he doesn’t have kids. Not till he can recover mentally, but i highly doubt he’ll go into another relationship for a very long time, or change his mind. Why get kids when you’re not doing good? One thing you need when you want kids, is a good mental state. His choice, yes it probably couldn’t be any worse than it is now but still not a reason to have a kid.. (Well, it can get worse but that’s a different scenario). With a non existent partner. Even if he was still with the maniac and just full on crazy woman he once called a girlfriend, I wouldn’t want her reproducing. If she got aggressive with Pat, she’d definitely get aggressive with her kids. Not a good situation for either pat or their non existent kids, right? Plus kids aren’t a requirement to be happy or successful in life. They’re optional. Happiness can be gained without even thinking about kids.
We will never know what could have been it. It would probably make it worse or make him happier. Why is it you only speak of the possible negatives without any of the possible benefits. Maybe it's just me but perhaps the people you mention were not really ready to have kids.
@@MrSegadude21 My only point was, they don’t always make someone’s life 100% better. They can make their life better without. Kids aren’t a requirement to have in life. That’s all I mean. Pat isn’t ready for kids, and he has said he doesn’t want them. That’s all we need to know. We don’t need to say his life would of been 100 times better. He doesn’t need kids. We don’t have to say anything about his choice and preference of s kid free life. I’m not saying there’s only negatives to kids, I was only trying to say they don’t always make life better, they can make it worse. I see too many only speak of the positives. As again, kids are an optional choice in life. They’re a want, not a need. But as I said, I doubt he’ll be in a relationship for a long time, and the maniac of an ex of his.. shouldn’t reproduce. Adoption I doubt is an option, because that maniac put arrests on his record. Adopting is already hard enough without that on your record. 🤷
Damn, that's sad. I remember Pat & Jen was a pretty big part of my early experience with RUclips when I was a kid, and seeing it go from the minecraft videos I loved to this is surprising since I never actually looked back at their channel once I stopped watching their vids.
When I first watched the video of them talking about the divorce I hoped that they would still make content together, and while that did happen it started to decrease also leading pat to make less uploads. This was the beginning of his downfall. After the divorce pat was never the same and it seemed like he developed a drinking problem as I had never heard anything of him being drunk while still married to Jen. As I watched more of this video I started to view pat as the bad guy yet I still have to feel some remorse for him after all that he has been through and everything he has done for millions of people. And if anyone is wondering about Jen, she got remarried and had a child. It’s crazy to see how both changed after the divorce. While pat was going through some crazy shit with his emotions and personal life, Jen was very happy. I hope both of them are okay now.
honestly i think his whole problem was making videos about what was going on irl. also he was in a bad situation so i feel bad for him but its also kinda on him for getting into the situations in the first place
I used to watch PopularMMOs back when they were still together (2017-2019) and it's really sad that they parted ways, I hope they get back together, I literally grew up on these people.
I think calling Pat "minecraft's most controversial youtuber" is a stretch when there are literal pedophiles in the scene
to be fair, ‘controversial‘ would imply that the person does something that causes lots of people to debate on whether it was a good or bad thing to do. whereas i think most people can agree that pedophilia is bad
@@fissionabledolphinseriously, the word "controversial" has lost its meaning
something thats controversial is relating to or causing much discussion, disagreement or argument.
When a creator does something controversial it means its something that many are split on weither or not its a good or bad thing, or what should the consequences be ect.
When a youtuber is revealed to be a groomer such as the case of mandopony, then there's not much discussion or debate on the morality of that since most agree its a shitty thing
However a case like johnochrome is controversial, because while he was revealed to have been with a minor, he and the now adult woman stated that there was no sexual activity unless she turned an adult, so is what he did as bad as a full groomer? And what should the consequences be for him? That is a controversy.
@@jackbluehq6653 wait, mandopony was a groomer? goddammit, it always happens to be my favorite ones
@@AtlasRiptus oh sorry you had to find out like this.
I dont know much myself so you best look into it, but yeah Mandopony left youtube cause he was found grooming someone
Lionmaker too.
It’s crazy seeing the different directions both Pat and Jen went on after the divorce. I grew up on them, and watching his life go downhill while Jen is living her best life is really sad.
I feel sorry for Pat. he deserved better.
i would wonder if jen looked at this drama how would see feel?
@@robertfogarty714 She did, she was on Pats side all the way through.
@@0kql56 ok i do agree to you
Pat is just immature and Jen was clearly on a better track. Wanting kids vs not wanting kids is a big sign of immaturity.
I think Pat chose the wrong people to be around after the divorce and his mental health has suffered and got him into trouble. I hope he gets the help he needs.
I mean its understandable why Pat and Jen would have such big disagreements, having kids or not is a big deal, and different people have vastly different opinions, but honestly they should have had some way to resolve the debate in the first place.
Also way to many people make the mistake in nose-diving into having kids, its something you need to prepare for, otherwise it can destroy your life if your not ready for it.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 I agree. It’s just a shame Pat hasn’t had a happy ending like Jen (and by happy ending I mean living his best life, he seems to be struggling which is upsetting)
You’re unfortunately correct he chose the wrong people he’s been dealing shit with his shitty girlfriend liz even though he loves her and honestly he should leave her because she’s basically hurting his ass and don’t think he should be with her because she’s a dickhead unfortunately i know that he is trying to help her but i think he should leave her because it’s brutally honest but i think it’s probably the right way to leave her and move on her and he’s should make some good choices and stray away from dating people and focus on his life first
Exactly this, from what I saw, made bad choices and met the wrong people... someone told me dating in the modern era? It's not advised, finding good people for good relationships 2019 onwards became... rare. That kind of experience forever messes with someone's mind and... it's sad. I've actually seen good people lose their minds after getting with the wrong people, or be influenced by fake friends who wanted nothing more than "yesmen" to do as they say... it's sad.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 them not having kids wasn’t the main reason, another reason is because they both had different futures and wanted to take different paths in their life
you could tell that he LOVED Jen, he was never the same after and I'm pretty sad to see one of my childhood heroes go downhill
i loved his lucky block bedwars videos with jen
@@conee1499 any lucky block vid was a lucky day
@@conee1499 Yeah, I loved watching those videos back when he was making them. I haven't been keeping up with Pat's personal life at all for a long time, so it's very sad to see all this stuff happen.
the arena battles :(
Well he talked major shit about her when he was with Eleni so I don't know if he loved her that much
Honestly I imagine a world where pat wanted kids, and wonder what would've happened after that.
i kinda wish thats the world we were in, i miss him a ton but its hard to support him when all this has happened. hope he gets help
In that world he would be happy and would not drink so much. I heard the pain in his voice when he said "We both deserve to be happy in life..." He clearly was making a sacrifice and pretending everything was ok.
true, and what would have happened if he hadnt dated again for several years? i feel like dating other people so soon off of *tinder* was the primary reason for alot of this
i mean he did say there were other issues besides kids so who knows, they might have still got divorced 🤷♀
@@jayla4914 I really think he just said that, since because saying you got divorced with your wife because they wanted kids, makes you kinda look bad. but I wouldn't know, I only watched pat for so long.
This is an unfair situation
Pat and Jen separated respectfully
They loved each other so much that they could let eachother go.
Pat knew Jen wanted kids, didn't stop her wish, and supported her decision.
Everything was fine, but Pat got f'd up by the wrong people
Jen got another husband that treats her well
While Pat got nothing but trouble makers and deceivers.
And some people say eliena or whatever her dumbass name is innocent. like she tried to 50/50 money after manipulating him. What a bitch.
That's gold diggers for you.
Who did Jen get?
@@aduckwalkeduptoalemonadestand I forgor
But she seems happy rn with him and even got her kid
And this is why I am never getting into a romantic relationship with anyone.
I want him to come back to RUclips. I just felt like he dated the wrong people since Jen left.
There's one common denominator and that's him. Pretending he is the victim might help you hold on to childhood nostalgia but it's delusional.
@@YehNahYehAyy I don't believe he's the victim obviously He is very much in the wrong along with his exes. I still hold on to my childhood nostalgia but I do look at the reality behind it.
@@YehNahYehAyy he was fine with jen the entire time
the moment he dates people who are batshit crazy it goes downhill immediately
it's his fault partially, you need to control that type of stuff, but it defo wouldn't have happened if he picked better women
@@gibdo1675 If you really believe that it's always someone else's fault when things happen over and over again then you're just delusional.
@@gibdo1675 I think the reason is cause Jen and Him didn't really drink so she probably didn't experience how he acted when drinking. I'm not saying he's an alcoholic but the pattern with his 2 gf after the drama was involved with both of them drinking which drinking in it self can impact how you act and your behavior but being drunk in both cases could have effected him as well.
I know there's a comment that he posted that might have been deleted saying he's dealing with some personal things but I feel like these are the key differences with his time with Jen and his time with other people he's dating. Jen never really enabled things. While his newer gfs have whether it's cause the stress of the drama with the first one or Liz was enable him seeing how he reacts when drinking and still choose to drink along with him.
I don't think we will ever get the full picture of what happened or if Jen was just an exception to what's happen now. I hope he gets better though cause it's sad to see this all go down. But both parties are at fault in both cases doxing is illegal and instead of taking Legal action with the first gf Pat doxed her to. And Liz despite there being a pattern and Pat noticing a pattern there could be more to story we just will never know.
This is sad. Everyone's sad. Even Pat is sad. Jen is sad. Eleni went through 5 stages of grief. Liz is still probably contemplating what happened. Yeah, everyone, except Eleni, is sad. Also, I'm sad too. PopularMMOS was one of the fundamental building blocks of my childhood. It's sad.
I think Jen is far from sad tbh
hehe building blocks because minecraft
@@dinoboiis8147 youre not funny this is a serious situation. grow up
@@GDgamer33 damn dude he is just trying to lighten the mood.
@@GDgamer33 yeah he his
I feel bad for pat. There was a comment, I think it has been since deleted. But Pat openly admitted that he wanted to start recording videos again as he missed it, and that he was dealing with alot of mental health problems. If I find a screenshot again I will edit this comment with the whole thing written on it.
Its just sad to see a man that practically raised you suffer so much.
Edit: Personally I don't think people should be jumping the gun to hate and spread false info.
There's no incriminating proof, only well placed "coincidences" that can be explained rather easily:
One of them being pat getting accused of stuff just as his channel is dropping in views, which very much could be attributed to the fact his upload schedule wasn't as active and consistent as before, nor did he evolve his content creation.
None of us know Pat personally, but what we do know is that on the internet, while "Innocent until Proven Guilty" is always the go to, the opposite should always be taken with skepticism as far too many people lie about serious accusations, and the mentality of "Guilty until Proven Innocent" has NOT worked out well 99% of the time as the accuser has always been found to be a liar doing it for clout.
Using mental illness as an excuse to be a horrible person... classy.
@@YehNahYehAyy if you are referring to bring arrested because of his ex-girlfriend accusing him of bad stuff, than your disgusting. If not, than please explain how he is horrible?
@@YehNahYehAyy plus i think one of times he got arrested, he got falsely arrested.
I'm really considering coming back... I don't need money or anything. I really genuinely miss it all a lot. I started because I loved it and it would make me happy. It would probably be with my friends. It wouldnt be with Jen, she has her own life. Money wise I was smart compared to most RUclipsrs. I invested my money. I don't need anything from anyone. Not even close. I just want to entertain people and have a good time, which will make a lot of people happy. (i think this is the comment)
@@TheChristianWood I think so, but there was also another one referred to his current (?) wife which also included alot of what Pat's been going through.
The one thing i feel somewhat relieved about is that Jen, the ex-wife is always seen supporting Pat the entire way in the background while seeing his life crumbling down. I just wish they had stayed in contact since they're clearly close friends even after the divorce, which seemed peaceful.
It's just that Pat seemed to be a bit rushed and emotional after his divorce to move on to another relationship. Not helping with the fact that him and Eleni's relationship is clearly a toxic one, he started being a bit more aggresive and emotionally charged on his next one with Liz.
I never really grew up with PopularMMOs, but i have always known about their existence, i thought they're just another channel lost to time, but it turns out that Pat's fate is a downward spiraling one. Atleast he's doing alright atm, and that's what the people growing up with him wanted.
You forgot to mention the community posts Pat posted on Popularmmos. On the 3 posts, he talked about the situation and what was going on from his perspective and also said he wanted to and would maybe return sometime soon. He also states that Jen wont be joining him if he does return. I wonder if anything happened or if he realized how awkward it had been
Just want a video makin sure he good
Well I figure since Jen finally started a family and has a kid of her own, she would want to spend time with him and her husband understandably, so really it makes sense Jen won't show up anymore even if it saddensus as fans of both Pat and Jen.
@@hectorgp3044 Yeah I agree. She has also stopped posting on her YT from what I last saw, she's only active on insta now meaning she might've quit completely. I hope that's the explanation for that anyway, and not that something happened between her and Pat, but who knows. Maybe they just don't talk anymore.
@@Ramsvids I’d like to think that she’s still there for him. But idk, I know not of his life and hers.
Jen has her own life now and new priorities. I’d rather Pat start off clean with a blank slate and focus on himself more.
All Pat wants is to play games, since it’s his job and one that he loves very much, with the person he loves. Like working with the person you love sounds amazing. It’s just the people he’s been with have done him wrong.
so jen has done him wrong?

@@blackberyy3450”wow my girlfriend is bipolar. let me just chase her down the street with a knife.”
I honestly stopped watching Pat and Jen during their Minecraft walking dead series, moving on to other creators at the time, so it hit me bad when I decided to search his channel up again for the nostalgia,expecting some more Modded Minecraft shenanigans from the couple, only to see that Jen has divorced him and his life spiraling down to more pain and suffering. It hit me like a freight train.
Popularmmos always seemed like the type of youtuber to never change, his intro was the same, he dated Jen for a long time, and they basically did the same video without feeling like they needed to change things up, they just went with what was comfortable for them. They played modded Minecraft so much that at this point, they don’t even understand how normal Minecraft works lol. Which I thought was really funny, I thought if nothing else, they would always stay like that. Shame to see this is happening to him. I hope he realizes he can be loved without needing materialistic things to prove his love.

i think something that's really important that i never seem to see mentioned by anyone is that his fans were absolutely horrible around the time he divorced jen eleni might have been a bitch but none of his fans knew that when they were sending her death threats for simply being in popularmmos' videos to the point he had to make like 3 videos begging them to stop the divorce was blown out of proportion because his fans whined on and on about it in the comments of every single one of his videos and attacked pat when he referred to jen as his ex-wife in a video literally nothing changed when they divorced initially they were still making videos together but his fans acted like it was the end of the world and i really think that was a huge contributor to his downfall i cant imagine having to deal with all that real life stuff while also having a bunch of toxic children who probably don't know basic algebra constantly giving their stupid opinions about your personal life while you're just trying to entertain them with minecraft videos and i seriously wonder if his career would have gone down the same path if his fans would have accepted his personal decisions and quit worrying about stuff that really wasn't any of their business
They have done so many fucked up things and everyone is always like: “it’s cause he has kid viewers” but No actual kid watches him anymore, because his type of content isn’t what new kids would like. They like lankyblox and RUclipsrs who are more fast paced and scripted. That’s where the trend is right now. It doesn’t make sense to label them kids, it makes more sense to call them what they most likely are, Teenagers, or adults in their mid to early twenties, who are smart enough to understand what empathy is and how to read context, popularmmos has the most childish and whiniest community, not because of their actual age but because of their mentality. This community needs to stop acting like they’re younger than they actually are, and they need to stop living in their little world thinking solutions needs to be handed to them on a silver platter, in perfect fantasy. They need to grow tf up. Plain and simple.
Some of the communities problem;
1) Eleni: Before any word of her was even brought out, before any drama, people were already sending death threats and telling her to kill herself. All because it wasn’t Jen on the screen and they were worried Eleni would replace Jen. I want everyone to note this was before she was *exposed* just to nail it into everything’s thick skull who still thinks everything the community does is okay. Pat has done multiple videos to which he called this out, he even at one point got so sick and tired of the bullshit, he actually started revealing the people that were sending it, their profile and everything. So that they would stop. And he even brought Jen into the video, after nothing had changed.
Update: after some time of her appearing, the drama begin to dive down, and people slowly accepted her, and even though it looked on the RUclips side, like everyone was getting along, people were still fighting on social media. Some were even trying to justify themselves, saying how they accept her but than also saying they won’t watch the video anymore as long as she is there. I don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out That means you don’t actually accept her.
3) Eleni finally comes out with claims. And what do people do? They decide to take Eleni side, and pat loses some subs due to it. That’s right. They would rather believe a person they known for what? A couple of months than a person they known for more than a year. And decides to leave him just like that. Its not like Pat wasn’t good to her. Its like pat gave her gifts. Its not like pat did EVERYTHING in his power to make sure she didn’t get harassed. Its not like pat risked everything to even call the fan base. Nope. He did not love her, and he was just abusive right?
4) Eleni Doxxes Pat, to which Pat response with a tweet saying “here” and decided to doxx Eleni’s address. Everyone gets mad at pat, not ELENI but at PAT. Pat later apologizes, saying that the doxx was *fake* and the address wasn’t actually real. He was just mad and wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. And yet his community is mad just because he thought of doing it, they said pat should be better, even though pat outright said it wasn’t real, get off your high horse, pat shouldn’t have to apologize for that. And why is he getting all the hate for doxxing a fake address when Eleni was the one who dox him with a real one?
5) word finally comes out from Pat and he tells his side of the story, he claims that he and Eleni dated and that showed receipts that her claims were either false or she left some stuff out to make her look better. You’d think at this point, the community would apologize or at least comfort Pat? No, what they did instead was say “I knew it”, “this is why you listen to us pat” (real comments) are you kidding me? That’s your initial thought process? That’s apathic. And no, you didn’t know it. You had a SUSPICION. You had one thought, a doubt. But you didn’t know it.

Its so sad because I grew up with Pat and Jen and they were my favorite youtubers when I was like 7. I would always ask my mom to turn the "Minecraft RUclipsrs" on the TV and she understood. I am sorry for Pat because of how much his life went downhill.
Ever since I was four I watched pat for more than a decade. He was such a star in the spotlight. Seeing this kind of decline in pat’s life is showing me that he deserves the world because he was just one of the best people ever on RUclips. He helped kids by giving them some sense of imagination, joy, and laughter. If one could go back in time to somehow keep pat and Jen’s relationship intact then, he would not have had this kind of stuff happen to him. Lots of people love him and he was a childhood hero to us.
It seems like he was jumping into relationships before actually mentally recovering from the divorce, people should always take a break before getting into another relationship and make sure to check any toxic/abusive behavior of the person before its too late.
Hes been taking advantage of, he was the victim of many abusers. I hope hes been getting some more help

He deserves a hug. Not from the women who manipulated him but the people who supported him through everything.
You didn’t cover the deleted community posts that everyone was worried about last month that revealed he was in a dark place
It’s crazy seeing this because I just checked out his channel the other day to see he hasn’t posted in over a year after I thought I saw him public at my job (or at least someone who resembles him). Mans has been through it since I left the channel, don’t remember when exactly that was but after the 2,000th lucky block video I decided I wasn’t the target audience anymore. I had been watching him for years since back in the days of the modded mob battles and I used to come home everyday anticipating one of his uploads. I hope he’s making the best decisions for his life wherever he is. Best of luck out there Pat.
Pat and Jen were the first RUclipsrs I ever watched. I would watch all their videos and I loved them. I hope that Pat gets over his mental health issues, and (if he feels up to it) make stuff for the enjoyment of himself and not just for us.
its really so tragic what happened. these guys were my second parents and i loved them both so much. seeing pat hurt like this is just so heart wrenching

It's sad to see Pat to be this low in his life. I hope he can accept the consequences of his actions and eventually move on. Good luck man.
Sadly, his friends are the ones who lead him to this path..
Though the legend does not want any kids but still raised thousands this man does not deserve any of this
My dad was actually a close friend of Pat so we would always ask about Everytime he met up with him. I eventually heard from my father about his worries of Pat’s mental state and the possible causes.
There were many signs that showed how far things have gone and the cause, but I don’t wanna disrespect Pats privacy top much. But most of his spiraling down was because of Jen leaving him, she was basically his only real happiness and it upsets me having to see someone rely on the idea of past relationships to cope with mental illness.
Yea, he took the divorce pretty hard..we all can tell
he could've just consulted therapy to not ruin marriage over damn kids

@@slenderblakchannelDarkNess Ok, so wanting kids is a very big decision, like not everyone wants kids, and that's fine. I don't either.

Source: just trust me bro
I feel extremely bad for Pat, I used to watch both Pat and Jens channel a long time ago and missed A LOT of the drama, Only in the past year or so ive heard about the break up, and then awhile after all the toxic relationships plus arrests, etc.
This makes me feel sad to be honest, seeing some of my favorite creators have their lives go down hill - like many people have said in the comments i think, but seeing many other creators still living their life. I do hope things get better for Pat in time, and again, like people are saying, it seems like things ARE already getting better, just have to wait i suppose.
The fact that you can tell that he stopped lifting weights (something he clearly loved since he had a whole gym in his house) when he was dating Eleni speaks volumes
Like look at how much muscle mass is gone in 2:52 compared to 0:21 when he was with Jen
I don't frequently type out long texts but wow..
Honestly there's nothing we can do to help him out of the void other than be that little space where we're fans, he's the content creator and we support him, it's really him that has to figure out how to get out of that rut and try to steer himself in a direction where he can be happier.
Personally my opinion, no matter how harsh it is, he should cut his gf out of his life, it might be cruel and heartless but you cannot save someone who doesn't want to be saved, even if they want to be saved they certainly can't get that proper treatment from another normal man, that person has to do it themselves and take personal strides forward, I hope pat realizes he isn't responsible for taking care of another human being and sometimes, there are just bad endings, it doesn't have to be like that for him though.
What did Liz do exactly?
@@estherhooker697 I think he is talking about Jen. Since Pat didn’t want any kids, he needed to respect her wishes by letting her go. If Pat does return, it will be a one-man show. That means no partners, not even Jen herself since she has her own life now.
@@estherhooker697 pretty sure that the problem is that while Liz maybe didnt do anything, it's a very toxic relationship that keeps repeating since they keep getting together. They both need to cut eachother out of their life since their relationship clearly isnt healthy
I wish Pat would just leave that wretched evil horrible woman. She's lied about him and has gotten him charged even though he never did anything wrong
It's not that easy when it takes such a toll on your mental health. He mentioned she has bipolar, which can destroy all your relationships. He also probably really wants to help her with that and everything so leaving isn't easy. I hope the right things happen to both of them
who are you talking about?
dude he tried to assault someone with a knife, i dont think he is innocent in all this
@@velvetdraws3452 That's only what his girlfriend said though and he has denied it. Obviously that doesn't mean he's innocent but there's no evidence of him doing it either
@@velvetdraws3452 except the claims were found false (unless it's different Pat assault claims I've heard, but also made up by Eleni or whatever her fucking name is)
I miss the old days... All the RUclipsrs we grew up watching weren't just content creators, people who had no issues. They were people, and I miss those people.
Pat and Jen made my childhood. To see one of my childhood heroes decline like this is really sad. I’m glad Jen is living a happy life, but I hope Pat can find inner peace and get the help he needs… He was around the wrong people and got into toxic relationships… I hope he will be ok.
eleni manipulating and gaslighting pat making him think they never dated is wild. i cant believe she even tried asking for 50/50 when she said they never dated. its crazy how she tried getting so much money from him
man this is so horrible seeing a small percentage of my childhood come to ruins.
growing up watching both pat and jen left good memories of laughing at all their humorous videos and minecraft gameplays, but seeing how so much of pats life has just been dropped in a ditch due to relationship issues is just sad. Jen and pats relationship only had one big inconvenience, while eleni and liz had worse experiences with their relationships with pat. I feel like Jen was Pat's relationship together would have worked out best even with inconveniences they would deal with
They were my childhood along with the diamond minecart, AND NOW THIS?? It's truly heartbreaking.
honestly 50% of me is just wondering how in the gameplay he is finding that much iron
and 50% of me is wondering what that white ore he found in the overworld was (i havent played minecraft since 1.17)
It’s not an ore in vanilla Minecraft so his game is likely modded
@@universalistic. thanks for the explanation, it looks like silver ore thats used in some mods.
Besides all this PopularMMOs stuff, what the HELL is this kind of ore at 5:30?!
gosh i miss these guys. they made my childhood. sad to see them go out like this.
I started watching Pat when he started season 1 of epic proportions, he's how I found RUclips and was a huge part of my childhood, I still go back and watch some of his early videos every few months.
Him and Jen had many differences between eachother but pat truly loved jen, this is probably why his mental health deteriorated, and got involved with the wrong people, i dont really care if he someday makes videos again, i just want him to be okay
Honestly I remember reading their books and thinking “what can ever go wrong with them” and it breaks my heart hearing how pat is right now
hearing there voices brings me back memories. All of this is so sad… I remember watching there old challenges like mutant vrs something.
I can’t believe how many “what happened to PopularMMOs” videos I’ve watched already, and still chose to click on this
You have to take it with a grain of salt though. Cause channels like these main purpose is for clickbait, or over exaggerating a situation. Doesn’t mean everything is faked but still.
That knife incident is fucking chilling. I also had an experience like that when my dad got drunk once and threatened to kill me with a knife. Some people (men) go batshit insane when they get piss drunk.
Sexist
Don’t know why you put men in parentheses. Woman can be crazy when drunk too
Men bad. Woman good.
@@kuhlio99 men tend to act more violent when drunk, at least in my experience
@@africanveteran7728 so your personal experience accounts for all 8 billion people on earth?
last video of pat’s i watched was around 4-5 years ago. everything seemed great, but damn this video revealed a whole lot of the truth to me
This comment hit like bricks because I too stopped watching 4 years ago, for me specifically was Jan-Feb of 2019 and its crazy how fast time has passed 💀
Same here, the last major vid relating to PopularMMOS that I watched was a video talking about his girlfriend taking advantage of him, and by that time I havent been watching him for atleast 2 years. Its sad to see how bad his life turned out to be after everything. Hope Pat is doing atleast better now.
Damn this was my childhood it's sad to see how stuff can change the older you get
Pat has been with us since the day we discovered his channel.
It’s time for us to do the same lads.
These guys influenced the growth of my writing hobby. I bought the books they wrote. This is just sad.
The fact that there’s an exposed Minecraft RUclipsrs Twitter just goes to show how often Minecraft RUclipsrs are weird people.
tbh theres a twitter for everything
Not a lot of normies left
Twitter is just a place where weird people gather.
@@GregorianMG Any corner of the Internet, really
Dang, this sucks to hear. I used to watch him about 6, 7, years ago, and I remember he made some great videos. I haven't heard of him since then, but watching this made me cry a bit inside.
It's been like 10 years and my childhood Minecraft youtuber got arrested 3 times??? 😭💀
Pat and Jen built my childhood, thier probably the reason enjoy gaming instead of something else. It’s sad to see the way Pat has gone with his life, I hope he gets back on his feet.
I hope he’s moved on and is in a good place in his life, so many memories with pat and Jen
Last time I heard of Pat and his situation was the video with his two ex'es. I really thought eleni and pat were alright then and jen just went her own way in her own new life somewhere. Matt should've kept a lot of his personal stuff behind the camera in the first place. Pat and jen were one of many people i looked up growing up watching Minecraft videos. A damn shame these people i used to look up are in really sad situations.
Man, I grew up watching these two, Its sad to see your childhood hero fall to rock bottom
I used to watch this channel in my childhood, cannot forget that starter house they would always do in eech video. 😢
I honestly never thought that I would see Pat in this situation, he is one of my childhood heroes
I remember when my little brother was 5, he would always watch Pat’s videos at breakfast every morning, particularly the lucky block ones.
I grew up with those two. I was humbled about a year ago when I went looking for some nostalgia and found all of that. Now, here I am again...
Pat and Jen made up a huge chunk my childhood. It felt really surreal when they got divorced (I was unaffected, obviously) and it makes me sad to see Pat like this. I'm glad he got out of his wrongful arrest though. I'm also glad Jen is doing well :)
You made me get ptsd from just hearing popularmmos god I miss the good old days
I do not have sufficient information to make any claims on whether or not Pat was in the right. I'll just state my opinions of every major point.
1. A major problem right off the bat was the fanbase's extremely negative reaction to the divorce. Being sad that they divorced is fine, but being angry at anyone for it was simply ridiculous. Pat made three separate videos essentially begging his followers to stop harassing Eleni. Regardless of your opinion on Eleni, you have to feel at least somewhat bad for her for the relentless abuse from people online. No one deserves that.
2. While I do believe Pat's side of the story of the Eleni situation (and I won't deny my bias here), I don't think it was right to share this kind of drama online. Not much else to say, since I don't know the full story.
3. Given the charges were dropped in the first arrest story, I have to assume innocence. But the stress of being arrested, combined with the almost certain bad reaction from some people, probably didn't do much good for Pat's mental health.
4. Obviously, Jen liking that tweet was a mistake. "Don't believe everything you hear" is the only thing I can really say here.
5. Leaking Eleni's address was a hugely terrible thing to do. You should never leak someone's personal information online for any reason. I can't imagine Pat was in the right state of mind when he made this tweet, but he's still at fault.
6. I don't know. The second arrest has very sparse details for obvious reasons, and it would be wrong for me to assume anything.
7. Again, given the outcome of the third arrest, I have to assume innocence.
Overall, I really wish I knew more. Taking a side when you don't have important details is something that should be refrained from doing. And to an extent, I feel bad for every person mentioned in these stories.
This was my childhood. My favourite parts of them was the Crafting Dead as well as their mod showcases.
Its heartbreaking to see your favourite childhood idols steeped down so low,
Great quality for a channel with 200 subs! Keep up the good work, hope you make it big some day 😃
its really sad to see Pat like this since i literally grew up on pat and jen. they were my whole childhood
People also arent acknowledging enough that the fans themselves had a hugely negative impact as well. So many people kept talking about how sad it was and how much they want him to stay together and they kind of just didnt let him move on. Anything he ever did with himself or someone new was immediately met with sorrow and critisim that Jen wasnt involved. I think its really terrible of these fans who just dont understand that these are real people with real lives and real issues, not characters you can pit together because they're entertaining. Imagine having thousands of people who are too immature to accept a break up and constantly berate you for not being with her anymore. It would be a huge amount of pressure for anyone to handle and I'm sure it made the process way more difficult for him
Back then when they started minecraft was literally almost like my childhood I grew up with them. I understand about their breakup because that’s just some people but compare that like back when they were doing their best together in the channel and look at them now, two sides of the coin. One doing terribly while the other is living their best life
I used to watch this guy RELIGIOUSLY back during his prime and always looked up to him. Seeing his downfall makes me so sad
I missed this channel was my childhood sad to see him do this, wish he could try and change.
My childhood is over, this man has gone down an unfortunately dark path that I cannot justify but I yet am sad.
At least Jen is doing great with her new life. But yeah, it’s sad that her and Pat are no longer pals.
@@DamnZtar it's crazy, after this video I watched 5 minutes of becoming robbers, it made me cry.
@@DamnZtarwdym? Jen and Pat still got along
@@luca_ds9805 i thought they went seperate paths after Pat's arrest since it has been shown Jen unfollowed Pat
@eyeseeu343 oh, I wasn't aware that Jen unfollowed Pat. Maybe you're right. I do hope they will collab in the future through minecraft videos🙏🏻
Its really awful seeing the person who made you smile everyday be the one to bring you down, Im happy for Jen and I hope the best for Pat, he clearly has some mental health problems that need to be seen by a professional. Even if he doesn't come back to youtube I just hope he can get his life back on track
I always wonder if Pat regrets not wanting kids. He's an adult who can make major life decisions that deserve no judgment from us or anyone, but I wonder if he looks back and wonders if he decided differently. His life would likely be 100 times better and he would definitely be happier.
Kids can also make it worse, trust me I seen some families and some fucked up kids and the parents are pretty much done. Some kids are even teenagers. (Parents aren’t always the fault of bad behaviour btw.)
I don’t think he does. Especially in the state he’s in due to the relationship that caused him those arrests. I don’t even think he’ll go into another relationship any time soon. I wouldn’t after being arrested because of some crazy manipulative abusive woman.
You can not want kids and never want kids. You’re life isn’t unhappy if you don’t have kids. I never want kids, but I’d be happy without either way. Just depends on the person.
@@TheNutters768 can't be any worse than it is now
@@MrSegadude21 I meant that they can make it worse in a whole. Not just pats life. Seen some plenty of suffering parents. But, if he doesn’t want kids, then that’s it. That’s something plenty of people don’t regret. I just mean kids don’t always make a life happier and ‘100 times better’. You can make your life way more happier without kids. Someone’s life can be 100 times better without kids. Many childless people are living their best lives, having fun, going out, doing what they love and some are even pretty comfortable with finance. Many people have dream jobs right? Having a kid could and has ruined that for the parent. They stopped the parent from getting that job, especially if said kid takes up too much time to raise and the job cannot fit all that in. Boom. A dream crushed.
Plus, in his mental state, it’s probably best he doesn’t have kids. Not till he can recover mentally, but i highly doubt he’ll go into another relationship for a very long time, or change his mind.
Why get kids when you’re not doing good? One thing you need when you want kids, is a good mental state.
His choice, yes it probably couldn’t be any worse than it is now but still not a reason to have a kid.. (Well, it can get worse but that’s a different scenario). With a non existent partner. Even if he was still with the maniac and just full on crazy woman he once called a girlfriend, I wouldn’t want her reproducing. If she got aggressive with Pat, she’d definitely get aggressive with her kids. Not a good situation for either pat or their non existent kids, right?
Plus kids aren’t a requirement to be happy or successful in life. They’re optional. Happiness can be gained without even thinking about kids.
We will never know what could have been it. It would probably make it worse or make him happier. Why is it you only speak of the possible negatives without any of the possible benefits. Maybe it's just me but perhaps the people you mention were not really ready to have kids.
@@MrSegadude21 My only point was, they don’t always make someone’s life 100% better. They can make their life better without. Kids aren’t a requirement to have in life. That’s all I mean.
Pat isn’t ready for kids, and he has said he doesn’t want them. That’s all we need to know. We don’t need to say his life would of been 100 times better. He doesn’t need kids. We don’t have to say anything about his choice and preference of s kid free life.
I’m not saying there’s only negatives to kids, I was only trying to say they don’t always make life better, they can make it worse. I see too many only speak of the positives. As again, kids are an optional choice in life. They’re a want, not a need.
But as I said, I doubt he’ll be in a relationship for a long time, and the maniac of an ex of his.. shouldn’t reproduce.
Adoption I doubt is an option, because that maniac put arrests on his record. Adopting is already hard enough without that on your record. 🤷
PopularMMOS and Stampy were such childhood favorites of mine, I feel like all of my childhood favorites are changing/going downhill
I agree
Did stumpy get into drama because the only drama I know of involving him was an ex member of his(don’t know the other guys name sry)
@@JPH7473 idk, I never heard of stampy getting into drama
Damn, that's sad. I remember Pat & Jen was a pretty big part of my early experience with RUclips when I was a kid, and seeing it go from the minecraft videos I loved to this is surprising since I never actually looked back at their channel once I stopped watching their vids.
Popularmmos we’re my childhood heroes, and it’s really sad seeing pat going through all this😢
I remember watching their marriage video when it came out, they were a big part of my childhood.😢
Popularmmos was my whole childhood……
Im thankful for all of the memories and im glad they were the ones i watched during my childhood
When I first watched the video of them talking about the divorce I hoped that they would still make content together, and while that did happen it started to decrease also leading pat to make less uploads. This was the beginning of his downfall. After the divorce pat was never the same and it seemed like he developed a drinking problem as I had never heard anything of him being drunk while still married to Jen. As I watched more of this video I started to view pat as the bad guy yet I still have to feel some remorse for him after all that he has been through and everything he has done for millions of people. And if anyone is wondering about Jen, she got remarried and had a child. It’s crazy to see how both changed after the divorce. While pat was going through some crazy shit with his emotions and personal life, Jen was very happy. I hope both of them are okay now.
he's getting birch which is more wrong than the drama 4:35
honestly i think his whole problem was making videos about what was going on irl. also he was in a bad situation so i feel bad for him but its also kinda on him for getting into the situations in the first place
its crazy how quickly downhill everything went.
I cried during the breakup video. It was devastating as a kid, never watched another video
I used to watch PopularMMOs back when they were still together (2017-2019) and it's really sad that they parted ways, I hope they get back together, I literally grew up on these people.
I miss the days of boss battles and lucky block challenges…
This is so sad... I used to watch him so much when i was young
its depressing to see how badly things can devolve for genuinely nice people who dont deserve the turmoil.
this channel was my childhood, can't believe it had this kind of past
