• 1:01
  I'm your host, Lauren Meissner, the founder of the Australian
• 1:04
  youth digital media brand Centennial World.
• 1:07
  Welcome back to mini scroll, everyone.
• 1:10
  Thank you all to everyone who has been subscribing on YouTube
• 1:14
  and rating us on Spotify. I'm seeing them come in every
• 1:18
  time I remind, so we're going to keep reminding.
• 1:20
  I'm sorry. It's annoying because we're
• 1:22
  trying to get to 1000 Spotify star ratings and we're trying to
• 1:25
  make sure that all of you guys that are watching us every
• 1:27
  single day are subscribed to us on YouTube as well.
• 1:29
  All right, let's get into the stories for today.
• 1:33
  So the first story that I have for you guys today is we're
• 1:37
  going to talk about Gabby Hannah, what she's been saying
• 1:40
  about Trisha Paytas, what she's been saying about different
• 1:42
  creators like Jessie Smiles and also drama channels in her new
• 1:47
  podcast with her husband. I was on the fence about
• 1:50
  covering this because I do think Gabby is possibly not mentally
• 1:55
  well right now. However, it's really escalated.
• 1:57
  She's brought all of these other people into the situation.
• 2:01
  Like I said, she's launched a podcast off the back of the
• 2:04
  drama from like 2021 that was going on between her and Tricia.
• 2:08
  So I'm going to cover it from start to finish to give you guys
• 2:11
  the full picture. Gabby Hannah has gone on a bit
• 2:14
  of a rampage online trying to tell basically, quote UN quote,
• 2:17
  her side of the story about her falling out with Tricia Paytas
• 2:20
  and Jessie smiles, which caused a lot of controversy around
• 2:23
  Gabby in 2021. So Gabby's been popping up here
• 2:26
  and there again recently. She got married, she came back
• 2:29
  to social media, and she's been publicly apologizing to various
• 2:33
  public figures that she had feuds with, including JoJo Siwa,
• 2:37
  Rebecca Black and Brooke Monk. Now many of these quote UN quote
• 2:41
  feuds were not necessarily public and or some of them were
• 2:46
  seemingly 1 sided. So it's like Gabby seemingly
• 2:49
  holding a lot of guilt about something that happened related
• 2:52
  to this person. And this person might not even
• 2:55
  realize that she had this guilt or even really think about that
• 2:59
  situation. But she's been making these
• 3:01
  public videos and a lot of people are like Gabby.
• 3:04
  If you actually wanted to apologize to these people, you
• 3:06
  would just do it privately. Like doing it publicly and
• 3:08
  saying that this is the only way you can get in front of them is
• 3:11
  just not true. You are a verified creator.
• 3:14
  You are a famous creator. You can definitely get in touch
• 3:17
  with these people. You can slide into their DMS.
• 3:20
  And because you have a verified account, you will definitely
• 3:23
  show up in like, you know, the general inbox or whatever.
• 3:26
  So they're more likely to see like, there are ways to get in
• 3:28
  touch with these people because of Gabby's public profile.
• 3:31
  So already people were like, OK, this is attention seeking
• 3:33
  behavior. And now things have really
• 3:35
  escalated because Gabby has made several pieces of content across
• 3:38
  multiple platforms accusing Trisha Paytas of ruining her
• 3:42
  life. So I did see that this started
• 3:45
  because Tricia recently allegedly left a comment on
• 3:49
  Gabby's TikTok, which then triggered Gabby and set off this
• 3:52
  chain reaction of her making all of this content about Tricia.
• 3:55
  But I cannot confirm or deny if that comment is true, if that,
• 3:59
  if that's like what happened, if that's what sparked everything
• 4:01
  because I couldn't find that comment.
• 4:03
  But that is apparently how this started.
• 4:05
  Regardless, 2 days ago Gabby posted an uncut version of her
• 4:08
  sit down podcast with Tricia Paytas from 2021.
• 4:12
  So back in 2020, one some of you may remember that Gabby and
• 4:15
  Trisha sat down for this podcast episode together to hash out
• 4:18
  their drama. The main reason why they had
• 4:20
  issues there were like a many reasons, but the main kind of
• 4:23
  major 1 was back in the day when Tricia started dating Jason
• 4:28
  Nash. Gabby reportedly warns Jason
• 4:31
  that Tricia had herpes. However, Gabby then made that
• 4:34
  public. So she took to the Internet at
• 4:36
  the time and she made a video asking her audience if you knew
• 4:40
  that a friend was sleeping with someone who had an STI basically
• 4:42
  like would you tell them? And even though she didn't name
• 4:45
  Jason or Tricia, the Internet did its thing and figured out
• 4:49
  through context clues who she was talking about.
• 4:51
  After all of this, Tricia and Gabby did a podcast episode
• 4:54
  together. Gabby posted it to her channel
• 4:56
  where Trisha denied ever being friends with Gabby.
• 4:59
  And in that podcast episode, Gabby made it clear that really
• 5:02
  hurt her feelings because she felt they had been close.
• 5:04
  At one point she was sharing voice memos, she was sharing
• 5:07
  text messages to prove that her and Trisha had been friends and
• 5:10
  that Trisha was like, quote, UN quote, lying about this lack of
• 5:14
  friendship between them. After the interview, Tricia got
• 5:17
  a lot of backlash for quote, UN quote gaslighting Gabby about
• 5:20
  their friendship. Like the Internet drama
• 5:22
  channels, most people were on Gabby's side because of how
• 5:25
  Tricia treated her in the interview.
• 5:27
  So much so that Tricia actually made two follow up videos
• 5:30
  addressing all of this backlash because people were largely not
• 5:33
  on her side from this particular podcast episode.
• 5:36
  So in those videos, Tricia chalked some of the awkwardness
• 5:40
  up to the editing, which is presumably why Gabby decided to
• 5:43
  release an uncut, unedited version of this podcast.
• 5:47
  However, it is five years later. So here are some snippets of
• 5:51
  text that Gabby inserted ahead of the uncut podcast episode.
• 5:55
  So these appeared on screen before the episode started, She
• 5:58
  wrote, it became clear to me pretty quickly that Tricia took
• 6:01
  my invite as in on the podcast as me wanting to team up against
• 6:05
  Shane, David and the vlog squad because it remember 2021 was
• 6:08
  when Tricia was having a major following up with Shane.
• 6:11
  And this was also when she was starting to like expose the vlog
• 6:14
  squad. And that's when all of the vlog
• 6:15
  quad expose started. I repeatedly told her I didn't
• 6:18
  want to get into the drama on the podcast, so we spent about
• 6:21
  an hour beforehand talking about everything privately.
• 6:24
  Once we started rolling, I didn't know how to navigate the
• 6:26
  conversation because we were there with very different
• 6:29
  motives and intentions. I already tend to be long winded
• 6:32
  and repeat myself a lot, but this podcast is next level. 1, I
• 6:35
  got blackout drunk. I never drank, but certain
• 6:37
  situations call for it. Two, I was incredibly nervous
• 6:40
  and honestly scared. Three, I was confused and
• 6:43
  disoriented because I was being gaslighted and lied to for hours
• 6:46
  by the woman who has relentlessly harassed me
• 6:49
  privately and publicly for years. 4, My ADHD was
• 6:53
  unmedicated. 5 She was stonewalling shortly after the
• 6:56
  podcast went live. Within hours she posted 2 videos
• 6:59
  doubling down and furthering her lies.
• 7:01
  She since has been unable to control herself from inserting
• 7:04
  herself into my life and publicly berating me every
• 7:07
  chance she gets. Every time the Internet is mad
• 7:10
  at her, she finds a way to deflect the attention on to me,
• 7:13
  her chosen permanent scapegoat. First of all, people had big
• 7:17
  issues with this because there's so many examples on just Trish,
• 7:22
  like Trisha's podcast where Gabby Hannah is brought up,
• 7:26
  Oscar brings her up or Moses brings her up or whatever.
• 7:29
  And Trisha is very neutral about Gabby.
• 7:33
  Okay. And this is not me defending
• 7:34
  Trisha, but in general, like this is not rooted in reality
• 7:39
  what Gabby is saying. Like Trisha is not bringing
• 7:41
  Gabby Hannah up. So right after Gabby posted
• 7:43
  this, she then launched a new podcast with her husband called
• 7:47
  An Actually Good Podcast. And the first episode is called
• 7:50
  Why Tricia Paytas tried to Ruin my Life where they talk for over
• 7:54
  an hour about Gabby's experience with Tricia back in 2021 and how
• 7:57
  she feels like since then she has basically gone on this like
• 8:00
  a smear campaign against Gabby to ruin her life.
• 8:04
  She makes huge claims in this podcast.
• 8:06
  Like I said, she says Tricia started the smear campaign
• 8:08
  against her that has impacted her ability to get work.
• 8:12
  She said that Tricia Jesse smiles and drama channels that
• 8:15
  were covering this whole situation in 2021.
• 8:18
  At the time they I psychologically abused her.
• 8:21
  Narrative that's been created and that's the purpose of this
• 8:23
  video is addressing the root of why is this this thing?
• 8:28
  It's just for some reason we all know that Gabby Hannah is
• 8:31
  psychotic. We all witnessed something which
• 8:34
  was a result of this right? And it's like OK, where did this
• 8:37
  start? And all I want is peace and
• 8:40
  love, but I also want truth. And the truth is, this all
• 8:44
  started with Trisha Paytas. And for a very brief summary of
• 8:47
  the Jesse Smiles situation, I don't want to get into it in too
• 8:50
  much detail because I know it's very upsetting for Jesse.
• 8:52
  It's a very sensitive topic. But Jesse and Gabby were friends
• 8:55
  from the Vine days. They had a big falling out after
• 8:58
  Gabby allegedly remained friends with a man who had sexually
• 9:01
  assaulted Jesse. They had a back and forth online
• 9:04
  after Gabby leaked a three hour phone call with Jesse about the
• 9:07
  situation back in 2020, which didn't make her look good.
• 9:10
  OK, the Internet was like, why would you release this?
• 9:13
  And then in 2021, the same year as all of this Tricia stuff,
• 9:17
  Jesse released a video titled Gabby Hannah Will Never Stop
• 9:20
  where she accused Gabby of lying about and manipulating the
• 9:23
  situation. Now throughout this new podcast
• 9:25
  episode, Gabby's husband interestingly says many times
• 9:28
  that Tricia has not said anything negative about Gabby in
• 9:31
  recent years. But Gabby is just like not
• 9:34
  letting this go. Verifiably say that, like Tricia
• 9:36
  said, anything negative against you, you.
• 9:38
  Know I wouldn't say anytime soon I do want to give that to her
• 9:40
  credit right. I do want to give that because.
• 9:41
  There's been some recent positivity actually and recent
• 9:44
  comments on your on your own tik.
• 9:45
  T.O.K. She then brought drama channels
• 9:46
  into it, the ones who were covering all of this, like
• 9:48
  Tricia Gabby, Jesse Smiles stuff in 2021, saying they all
• 9:52
  contributed to her psychological abuse and that they're obsessed
• 9:55
  with her. I want every single one of these
• 9:57
  people to go to heaven, and this is not the path.
• 10:02
  Gossip is a sin. Slander is a sin.
• 10:05
  This type of behavior, this obsession over money, luxury,
• 10:10
  idolatry, vanity, wanting to be like the cool kid, wanting to
• 10:14
  break the story, wanting to have all the hot Goss like this is
• 10:17
  sinful behavior. And also some of the things
• 10:19
  she's claiming that these creators, these drama channels
• 10:22
  and commentary creators said during that time are also just
• 10:25
  untrue. For example, she accused Spill
• 10:27
  Sash of going against her when if you watch Christie's 2021
• 10:32
  videos about the situation, she's actually on Gabby's side,
• 10:35
  not Tricia's side. Anyway, that's a very high level
• 10:38
  recap of what's been happening. Tricia hasn't responded at the
• 10:41
  time of recording, but it seems like honestly, Gabby is living
• 10:45
  in her own version of reality when it comes to this era and
• 10:49
  like how her career and life has unfolded since.
• 10:52
  All right, the next story that I have for you guys today is a
• 10:55
  creator who goes by slightly off balance has gone viral after she
• 10:59
  claimed that she got a fine for holding her phone in her right
• 11:02
  hand while driving when she doesn't actually have a right
• 11:06
  hand. So 2 days ago, a woman posted a
• 11:09
  video claiming she'd been pulled over by the police and given a
• 11:12
  ticket for using her phone while driving.
• 11:14
  She said the ticket claimed she was holding her phone in her
• 11:16
  right hand, but as she showed in the video, she actually doesn't
• 11:19
  have a right hand turns. Out you can still.
• 11:22
  Get a ticket. For driving with a device in
• 11:23
  your right hand, even if you don't have a right hand all.
• 11:26
  Right, man, so you're going to receive a citation for wireless
• 11:29
  communication device handheld while driving?
• 11:31
  You can't. We got to put the phone down as
• 11:32
  we upgrade a motor vehicle. Oh, and you put on there that
• 11:34
  you saw me with my right hand holding it.
• 11:36
  Yeah, do not. Put that no if you want to take.
• 11:37
  It away but that's what you said when you pulled me over yes that
• 11:40
  you saw me holding my device with my right hand I.
• 11:42
  Disagree with you? Yes, that's what I said.
• 11:43
  OK, Yeah. So if you want to take it to.
• 11:44
  Court. And that's what you saw.
• 11:45
  That's what I said. I said that's what you said you
• 11:48
  saw, OK. OK.
• 11:49
  Take it to court. Option five in the back of the
• 11:51
  ticket. That's how you take that ticket
• 11:52
  to court. OK.
• 11:53
  Any questions? For me, no.
• 11:54
  Thank you Have. A good.
• 12:01
  Day this went so viral, Internet users started calling it nub
• 12:05
  Gate, which I do want to flag. I actually don't know if she's
• 12:08
  comfortable with that. So if you see people using it,
• 12:11
  maybe don't participate. And basically everyone's in the
• 12:14
  comments section saying you have got to take legal action like
• 12:17
  this is a joke. Like that police officer was on
• 12:19
  a power trip, just couldn't admit that he was wrong and you
• 12:22
  should take legal action. So she made a follow up video
• 12:25
  saying she's requested a court date and she has also requested
• 12:28
  the body Cam footage. She gained thousands of
• 12:30
  followers. Everyone was like dying waiting
• 12:32
  to follow this story. And now the latest development
• 12:36
  is within a matter of two days. Her account is now fully gone.
• 12:41
  There is a lot of misinformation floating around there.
• 12:43
  People are claiming that they know for sure that TikTok
• 12:46
  removed it and is suppressing her videos.
• 12:48
  Others are claiming they know for sure that she was lying
• 12:51
  about this and didn't expect it to like fully blow up and this
• 12:54
  was just like a whole skit that she put together.
• 12:56
  We don't actually know for sure though right?
• 12:58
  Like I mean as far as I know we don't know for sure.
• 13:00
  I think the most logical answer is probably that she's now
• 13:03
  pursuing some type of legal action and her lawyer told her
• 13:06
  to remove the content while legal proceedings are active.
• 13:09
  The other theory that I think is plausible as well is people just
• 13:13
  like mass report content and accounts that they don't like
• 13:16
  for whatever reason. And if there's enough of those
• 13:19
  reports, TikTok will take down a video or take down, I guess in
• 13:23
  this case, possibly an entire account while it works behind
• 13:26
  the scenes to actually decide if the account is like appropriate
• 13:29
  or not. So that's another option that
• 13:31
  could have happened here. All right.
• 13:32
  And the last way that I have for you guys today is another woman
• 13:35
  is going viral, this time for getting engaged to a man who has
• 13:39
  been in prison for 13 years one month after meeting him.
• 13:42
  So a woman named Phoenix has gone viral for sharing that
• 13:44
  she's engaged to a man named Blake who was in prison for 13
• 13:48
  years. He got out five months ago and
• 13:51
  they've only been together for one month.
• 13:53
  Phoenix and Blake, they have this joint account where they've
• 13:55
  been posting since their relationship started.
• 13:58
  However, it was her Valentine's Day video where she announced
• 14:00
  that they got engaged that went viral and basically spread their
• 14:04
  story across the Internet. For context, Blake was
• 14:06
  apparently convicted of planning an armed assault.
• 14:09
  I just got engaged to a man that just spent thirteen years in
• 14:14
  prison and he's been out for five months.
• 14:16
  So this is his first Valentine's Day since he was 19.
• 14:22
  He just moved into my house and I just have to brag.
• 14:26
  I have never got flowers from a man before, but here I am.
• 14:31
  These are actually 2, at least two weeks old, and they're just
• 14:35
  now starting to kind of die. These are just a few days old
• 14:40
  and I am. Obsessed.
• 14:43
  I have never. Had flowers before.
• 14:46
  He does very well. So how to?
• 14:49
  Brag on that. So after going super viral for
• 14:52
  basically all the wrong reasons, the two have continued to post
• 14:55
  and put their relationship on display.
• 14:58
  And unfortunately now apparently they have actually been doxxed
• 15:00
  by Reddit, which is obviously never OK.
• 15:02
  There's a lot of people watching this thinking it'll end in a
• 15:06
  disaster, but there are also a lot of people who are expressing
• 15:08
  concern for Phoenix. Many say that the pace at which
• 15:12
  this relationship is moving is way too fast.
• 15:15
  He's been showering her with gifts.
• 15:17
  He moved in right away basically, and all of that gives
• 15:22
  love bombing just. Go through her comments and her
• 15:24
  comments are exactly what you would think people are like.
• 15:27
  Are you well? Are you OK?
• 15:29
  She went on to say that her and him both have some mental health
• 15:32
  issues and that she feels very secure and very confident in
• 15:36
  this decision. Listen to what she actually had
• 15:38
  to say about her safety. You haven't known.
• 15:41
  Him long enough to truly know him.
• 15:42
  I agree. I don't know who he is fully.
• 15:45
  I'm I'm aware. Could this end badly?
• 15:48
  Absolutely. All right, guys, Well, that's it
