  remembered to ask you guys to comment on that for close
• 1:55
  friends. OK, the next update that I have
• 1:57
  for you guys, this is so random, But tomorrow our entire office
• 2:02
  is actually closed on like a random Tuesday because they're
• 2:06
  doing some type of like major electrical road work going on
• 2:10
  like around the whole neighborhood, I guess like the
• 2:12
  whole block. So there will be no electricity
• 2:14
  from like 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM tomorrow.
• 2:16
  So we can't come into the office.
• 2:17
  So there will be no mini school tomorrow, but I will do a mini
• 2:20
  scroll on Wednesday. So Wednesday you'll have mini
• 2:23
  tech with Annabelle and you'll also have a regular mini scroll
• 2:25
  with me. Please remember to rate, review
• 2:27
  and subscribe. Annabelle also hates when I
• 2:29
  forget to ask you guys to do that.
• 2:31
  We're trying to get to 1000 Spotify star rating meetings by
• 2:33
  the end of this year. All right, let's get into the
• 2:36
  stories for today. The first story that I have for
• 2:38
  you guys, this is everywhere, at least all over my for you page.
• 2:43
  But I'm sure some of you guys have seen it too.
• 2:45
  A Doordasher has taken to TikTok to accuse the customer of sexual
• 2:50
  assault and the entire story has blown up and she has seemingly
• 2:53
  lost her job over it. So social media creator Livy
• 2:57
  Rose Henderson, known on TikTok as IRL Monster High Doll, has
• 3:01
  accused DoorDash of deactivating creating her account just days
• 3:04
  after she reported being sexually assaulted while on the
• 3:07
  job. Livi was the delivery driver
• 3:09
  based in New York, and she said the incident took place on
• 3:12
  October 12th after she arrived at a customer's home to drop off
• 3:16
  an order. The details of the order drop
• 3:18
  off are kind of confusing because she has removed at least
• 3:22
  the initial video, like the very first video she posted and
• 3:26
  presumably some other videos as well.
• 3:28
  There's a lot of hearsay going on which I think actually has
• 3:30
  contributed to the mass amount of information which I will get
• 3:34
  to around this whole story. But essentially many people
• 3:37
  online claim that in her original video, she said that
• 3:40
  the customer requested the order be left at the door, but when
• 3:43
  she arrived, the door was cracked open and she proceeded
• 3:46
  to enter the property. Now when I say that the door was
• 3:50
  cracked open, that is the hearsay that I am referring to.
• 3:54
  Like people are saying that she said the door was cracked open,
• 3:58
  but that original video was deleted.
• 4:00
  There have now been some repost of that original video that have
• 4:04
  been uploaded just in the past 24 hours.
• 4:06
  But it's really hard to know with reposts.
• 4:09
  Like I don't want to say, yeah, this is the full video because
• 4:11
  we have no idea. Somebody could have fully
• 4:13
  clipped it for like when it's conveniently fitting their
• 4:16
  narrative. But there are clips going around
• 4:18
  of like the quote UN quote first video.
• 4:20
  And I will say in those clips, it looks like the door is wide
• 4:23
  open. It is not cracked.
• 4:24
  Regardless, what ended up happening is she went into the
• 4:27
  home and she found the customer seemingly passed out on his
• 4:31
  couch with his pants and underwear fully down exposed to
• 4:36
  her. So this is what the text
• 4:37
  allegedly read. A man named Austin orders
• 4:40
  DoorDash, selects the option to have order left at door, sees
• 4:44
  his DoorDash or me has a female name quote UN quote, falls
• 4:47
  asleep on the couch with his pants and underwear to his
• 4:50
  ankles and his front door wide open in 59°F.
• 4:54
  So this is what I see when I have to leave the order.
• 4:56
  And when I say this is what I see when I have to leave the
• 4:59
  order, it is her filming herself going up to, you know, his door,
• 5:04
  seeing him filming him like quote UN quote sleeping and
• 5:09
  naked basically from the waist down and then walking away.
• 5:12
  So she filmed him and she uploaded that to TikTok after
• 5:16
  she reported the incident to DoorDash.
• 5:18
  She says 2 days later, DoorDash suddenly deactivated her account
• 5:21
  with no explanation. She claims she never received
• 5:24
  the standard deactivation e-mail, which typically includes
• 5:27
  a reason for termination and a link to appeal.
• 5:29
  She did appeal. It was denied.
• 5:31
  Three days ago, October 12th, 2025, I was a victim of SA by a
• 5:35
  DoorDash customer while I was doing my job as a DoorDash
• 5:37
  driver. So on October 12th, 2025, the
• 5:40
  DoorDash customer requested that their order be left at their
• 5:42
  front door. When I arrived at their front
• 5:44
  door, their front door was wide open, their lights were on, they
• 5:48
  were sleeping on the couch with an eyesight of the front door
• 5:51
  with their pants and underwear pulled down to their ankles, and
• 5:53
  they were indecently exposed to me.
• 5:55
  But yeah, I reported it to DoorDash and DoorDash did ban
• 5:58
  the customer. And then two days later,
• 6:00
  DoorDash banned me. DoorDash punished me for
• 6:02
  exposing my assaulter, and TikTok is currently punishing me
• 6:06
  for exposing my story time. And this is the only justice I'm
• 6:09
  getting because I also reported this to the police and the
• 6:11
  police are doing nothing. According to her, the responding
• 6:14
  officer questioned whether criminal charges could be filed
• 6:16
  since the customer was inside his own home.
• 6:18
  Livi argued that the ACT qualified as exhibition, noting
• 6:22
  the potential impact on neighbors and passer bys.
• 6:25
  Now there are rumors floating around online.
• 6:27
  Like I said, there is so much hearsay.
• 6:29
  I think one of the biggest problems with this story is
• 6:33
  people are like making things up based on what they want to fit
• 6:38
  their narrative. People are saying it with their
• 6:39
  full chest as if like these are facts, but we actually don't
• 6:43
  know. Like there's a lot of facts that
• 6:44
  we as the viewers don't know. One of the things going around
• 6:48
  is like a conspiracy theory online is that the man, Austin,
• 6:52
  has posted Ring camera footage that proves that the door was
• 6:56
  unlocked but not open and that she opened it.
• 6:58
  I have not been able to find that Ring footage.
• 7:01
  If you look at any of the comments sections, people
• 7:03
  talking about this, everyone's like, where's the Ring camera
• 7:06
  footage then? Like, where is it?
• 7:07
  If you say you've seen it, where is it?
• 7:09
  Show it to me. Now.
• 7:10
  DoorDash has responded to the whole situation, they wrote on
• 7:13
  Tiktok. We've seen some tough and
• 7:15
  sensitive posts over the past few days and we want to clear
• 7:17
  the air. No one should ever have to
• 7:19
  experience sexual assault, harassment, or abuse, and
• 7:22
  DoorDash never deactivate someone for reporting it.
• 7:24
  Full stop. We take these reports incredibly
• 7:27
  seriously and work closely with law enforcement to investigate
• 7:30
  and support those affected. In this case, the Dasher let us
• 7:33
  know about an experience that made them feel unsafe, and
• 7:36
  that's exactly what we always want Dasher's to do.
• 7:38
  Our team immediately began investigating and has been in
• 7:41
  direct contact with law enforcement and is prepared to
• 7:43
  fully support any of their efforts.
• 7:45
  However, posting a video of a customer in their home and
• 7:48
  disclosing their personal details publicly is a clear
• 7:52
  violation of our policies. That is the sole reason that
• 7:55
  this dasher's account was deactivated along with the
• 7:58
  customers while we investigated. We've also ensured that the
• 8:01
  Dasher has full access to their earnings.
• 8:04
  We know these are sensitive situations and we want every
• 8:07
  Dasher to know if you ever feel unsafe or experience something
• 8:10
  concerning, come to us. We're here to listen, act and
• 8:13
  support. So yes, that is a very high
• 8:15
  level breakdown. Like I said, this is something
• 8:17
  that is truly dividing people. But I think the biggest issue
• 8:22
  that I see here is that people are just like making up straight
• 8:25
  up lies about Livy, about the customer, about the scenario,
• 8:28
  and people are making up these lies to suit the narrative that
• 8:31
  they want to be true. But yeah, that is the the
• 8:34
  lowdown for now. OK, the next word that I have
• 8:36
  for you guys, Selena Gomez versus Hailey Bieber again.
• 8:43
  So last week, the Wall Street Journal published a profile on
• 8:46
  Hailey Bieber, and the interview was apparently conducted ahead
• 8:49
  of her Rd. Beauty launch into Sephora.
• 8:51
  So the journalist asked Hailey about comparisons between Road
• 8:55
  and Selena Gomez's brand Rare Beauty, which has been available
• 8:59
  at Sephora for a lot longer. She said, quote, it's always
• 9:02
  annoying being pitted against other people.
• 9:04
  I didn't ask for that. When people want to see you a
• 9:06
  certain way and they've made-up a story about you in their
• 9:08
  minds, it's not up to you to change that.
• 9:10
  I think there is space for everybody.
• 9:12
  I don't feel competitive with people that I'm not inspired by.
• 9:16
  OK, So some people took that, like I don't feel competitive
• 9:19
  with people who I'm not inspired by as a dig to Selena.
• 9:23
  So Selena apparently heard this, saw this, and she posted on her
• 9:27
  Instagram stories and then very quickly deleted this.
• 9:31
  Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants.
• 9:34
  Doesn't affect my life whatsoever.
• 9:36
  It's just about relevance and intelligence.
• 9:39
  Be kind. All brands inspire me.
• 9:42
  There is room for everyone and hopefully we can all stop.
• 9:45
  So I think that's Selena talking to the media, but also to her
• 9:48
  fans, you know, because people were like pretty up in arms when
• 9:51
  that statement came out from Haley, as I'm sure Selena's fans
• 9:54
  were going nuts. And so she's basically saying
• 9:56
  like, just leave her alone. Like whatever, she can say what
• 9:58
  she wants. I don't know, saying it's just
• 10:00
  about relevance not intelligence is a bit shady too.
• 10:04
  But then I guess you could say Haley's statement was shady.
• 10:06
  Anyways, all of this is like kind of insane because like why
• 10:12
  the fuck did the journalist ask Haley that?
• 10:16
  I know that asking Haley and Selena about each other is like
• 10:20
  buzzy for pop culture. I get that it is going to get
• 10:23
  you eyeballs. I mean this profile now has so
• 10:26
  much more earned media because they asked her that and because
• 10:29
  she made a statement like that. But the fact that we are so
• 10:32
  focused still on this like, quote, UN quote, feud between
• 10:35
  these two women in the public eye, it's so archaic.
• 10:39
  It's so sad. Like Haley had so many other
• 10:41
  things to talk about in that profile and they did.
• 10:43
  But you know, like so many other, like, amazing,
• 10:45
  interesting things to talk about in that profile.
• 10:48
  I fear we are getting to like Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston
• 10:52
  territory with these two women where they are going to be
• 10:56
  LinkedIn, the media as feuding for like literally decades to
• 11:00
  come. It's so stupid.
• 11:02
  They're both married now, like Selena just got married to
• 11:05
  someone else. And I agree that they both kind
• 11:08
  of fan these flames a bit, but like, we just need to like let
• 11:11
  it go. Everybody just needs to fucking
• 11:13
  let it go. Come on, let it go.
• 11:15
  Haley has a baby. Like what is going on?
• 11:17
  I can't. Okay.
• 11:18
  The last story that I have for you guys, I promise Wednesdays
• 11:21
  will be a good episode. There were a lot of stories that
• 11:24
  we had to choose between. So I promise I will have like
• 11:27
  some good meaty stories for you for Wednesday.
• 11:30
  But I wanted to touch on this story because I've never talked
• 11:33
  about this creator before. And again, this has been
• 11:36
  everywhere this weekend. So Wendy Ortiz has been facing
• 11:39
  backlash for like invading Kourtney Kardashian and Travis
• 11:43
  Barker's privacy by filming the inside of their home and posting
• 11:47
  it online. So Wendy is an influencer and a
• 11:49
  popular Twitch streamer who has basically been labeled as a
• 11:53
  Kylie Jenner Stan over these past few months.
• 11:56
  Back in May, Wendy said on stream that her dream collab
• 11:59
  would be with Kylie Jenner and ever since then Wendy's
• 12:01
  followers who are called Winions.
• 12:03
  Which is like so cute. I love that fandom name have
• 12:07
  been spamming the comments section of like every Kylie
• 12:10
  Jenner post telling her to collab with Wendy.
• 12:13
  So Wendy has a really big following like she has stands
• 12:16
  like I said, like she is very popular.
• 12:18
  So this weekend Kylie celebrated the King Kylie collection
• 12:21
  revival. As we know, she had a big party
• 12:24
  and Alabama Barker, daughter of Travis Barker, stepdaughter of
• 12:27
  Kourtney Kardashian, and then I guess like step niece of Kylie
• 12:31
  Jenner, Alabama and Wendy went to this together.
• 12:35
  It's unclear if Wendy was invited on her own or as
• 12:38
  Alabama's plus one. But Wendy did post back in June
• 12:41
  that she got like a mysterious text that left her speechless
• 12:45
  while she was on the stream. And everyone thought, at least
• 12:46
  at the time that it was Kylie Jenner or someone from Kylie's
• 12:49
  team texting her. So it could have been an invite
• 12:51
  to this party. You know what?
• 12:52
  I take that back because there is no way as somebody who goes
• 12:55
  to brand events all the time, there is no way that you are
• 12:58
  getting invited to an event in June that is happening in
• 13:01
  October. So you know what, never mind.
• 13:03
  Wendy got ready for Kylie's party at Alabama's house, AKA
• 13:06
  Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Parker's house.
• 13:09
  And she brought like her whole team.
• 13:11
  She brought like an entourage of people and they were like
• 13:13
  filming content all over Kourtney's house talking about
• 13:17
  how rich she is, showing viewers like all of these different
• 13:20
  aspects to their home, these like different niches, their
• 13:23
  artwork, like showing it off. And like, yes, Kourtney
• 13:25
  Kardashian's home is on the Kardashians, but we don't know
• 13:28
  as viewers like how much of their homes they're showing.
• 13:31
  I'm I'm sure there's tons of rooms that we've never seen that
• 13:33
  they keep for themselves like private.
• 13:35
  What is this, a biocharger? Wow what they doing in here?
• 13:43
  They are. These books are worth like
• 13:44
  $40,000. Careful.
• 13:47
  And the home is the backdrop of the show, right?
• 13:50
  They're not going around being like, look at how expensive this
• 13:52
  art is. And people in the comments
• 13:54
  section of these videos, I think it was alive, but they're like
• 13:57
  reposted on TikTok are like, guys, this is so inappropriate.
• 14:00
  This is such an invasion of privacy.
• 14:02
  This is so dangerous. We know that wealthy people and
• 14:04
  I'm sure the Kardashians are big targets.
• 14:07
  And yeah, like, regardless of how you feel about the
• 14:10
  Kardashians and them hoarding wealth and all of that, this is
• 14:13
  just like inappropriate and not OK.
• 14:15
  And then the other camp of people we're like showing an
• 14:18
  overwhelming amount of love for Alabama for helping Wendy kind
• 14:22
  of like make this dream come true, helping calm her nerves
• 14:25
  before meeting Kylie. Like her interactions with Wendy
• 14:28
  leading up to Kylie, it was like they were very cute.
• 14:32
  I did see some comments being like what in the Make A Wish
• 14:34
  Foundation is going on right now, how Alabama was like acting
• 14:38
  with Wendy about meeting Kylie Jenner.
• 14:41
  But I thought it was cute. Like if Kylie is her biggest
• 14:44
  inspo or her like biggest A list star that she'd be excited to
• 14:47
  me. I totally get being super
• 14:49
  nervous. And I think it's endearing.
• 14:51
  I don't know anything about Wendy.
• 14:52
  OK, if she's super problematic, I apologize.
• 14:54
  But I think it's really endearing when you see somebody
• 14:58
  who, you know, is probably interacting with like famous
• 15:01
  people all the time to an extent, right?
• 15:03
  Like, she's quite famous herself in her own niche of like, the
• 15:06
  Internet, Wendy. I mean, and so, yeah, it's
• 15:09
  really endearing when you see somebody like that who you feel
• 15:11
  like has so much more privilege, so much more access to these
• 15:15
  people and that lifestyle Be really star truck.
• 15:17
  That's kind of cool. What's not cool is the weird
• 15:20
  live stream filming the inside of Courtney and Travis's house.
• 15:24
  That feels definitely like an invasion of privacy.
• 15:27
  And I do not like that it's really inappropriate to post
• 15:29
  everything on the Internet and it's really damaging.
• 15:32
  All right, guys, Well, that's it for Mini SCROLL today.
• 15:34
