  Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet.
• 0:03
  Culture Podcast. Bringing you the biggest stories
• 0:06
  from social media, the creator economy and the digital space.
• 0:09
  Every Monday through Thursday, I'm your host, Lauren Meissner,
• 0:13
  the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial.
• 0:16
  World welcome. Back to mini scroll everyone.
• 0:19
  Happy Monday. I just wanted to say before I
• 0:23
  start, I'm so. Sorry about the audio.
• 0:25
  On the YouTube video for. The Gen.
• 0:28
  Z pop girly deep dive that published on Friday, I have
• 0:31
  heard. So much feedback.
• 0:33
  I mean, first of all, I've actually.
• 0:33
  Heard feedback that like. My podcast is just kind of.
• 0:36
  Low like low, the audio is lower.
• 0:39
  Than other podcasts, whether it's on YouTube or on the
• 0:41
  podcast apps. So I have turned my mic all the
• 0:44
  way up. I always keep my mic at half
• 0:47
  turned up because I. Just I get feedback.
• 0:49
  Sometimes about like mouth sounds and stuff and I know
• 0:52
  that's. Just like, super irritating.
• 0:53
  To like people in general, so I never want to be able to like.
• 0:56
  Hear. That when I talk, but anyways
• 0:59
  I've turned. It all the way up, so hopefully
• 1:01
  the. Sound will be better and I did
• 1:04
  realize the mistake that was made in exporting the Gen.
• 1:08
  Z episode. So.
• 1:09
  If you guys could only hear it in one earphone like one.
• 1:12
  Airpod or whatever you. Use.
• 1:14
  I'm really sorry, that was totally my fault.
• 1:16
  That was like an. Export issue that I will fix.
• 1:19
  For next time. Anyways, let's just.
• 1:22
  Get straight into the stories because so much happened over
• 1:25
  the weekend. So the 1st.
• 1:27
  Story is that Madeline? RG has exposed central C for.
• 1:31
  Using their relationship as a PR stunt.
• 1:34
  So there has been a lot of drama going on around central C and
• 1:37
  Madeline Archie over the weekend.
• 1:39
  For context, rumors of the relationship started swirling
• 1:42
  after. Central C dropped.
• 1:44
  His song Doja in 2022. Many fans.
• 1:47
  Believed that he was. Referencing Madeline in the
• 1:50
  opening lyric, How can I be homophobic My bitch is gay given
• 1:54
  she has openly talked about dating women in the past.
• 1:57
  So Madeline was then spotted with him on tour, on social
• 2:01
  media, and at other events, and then Internet flutes notice that
• 2:05
  the pair had unfollowed each other multiple times throughout
• 2:08
  the relationship, leading fans to believe that it was.
• 2:10
  All part of. Some kind of publicity stunt.
• 2:14
  Nevertheless, when she. Appeared on the Call Her Daddy
• 2:17
  podcast Last. September, Madeline confirmed.
• 2:19
  That the couple had. Broken up saying that they had
• 2:22
  been apart for quote, a couple of months.
• 2:24
  She also. Explained that she wanted to end
• 2:26
  it for a while. But they were both, quote, a
• 2:28
  little bit obsessed with each other.
• 2:30
  In a fun. Toxic way she also.
• 2:33
  Likens their relationship to an addiction for her.
• 2:36
  Since then, the two have been spotted together, most notably
• 2:39
  on a trip to Nigeria, with social media users questioning
• 2:42
  whether they ended up getting. Back together.
• 2:44
  OK, so that's. Kind of like the.
• 2:46
  History. And then over the weekend,
• 2:48
  Madeline took. To TikTok with a Brooke
• 2:51
  Schofield. Who the fuck?
• 2:52
  Did I marry? Type expose about.
• 2:54
  Her on again off again relationship with central C
• 2:58
  this. Came off the back of
• 2:59
  relationship. Rumors between central C and
• 3:01
  tik. Toker, Leah Holton, as well as
• 3:04
  rumors about. Central C and I.
• 3:05
  Spice so. Central C and I Spice, for
• 3:08
  example, have been interacting on social media.
• 3:11
  For a little while. And this interaction even LED
• 3:14
  Madeline to post and then delete a screenshot of Central C
• 3:18
  commenting on one of ice. Spice's posts.
• 3:21
  OK, so in the. Series.
• 3:23
  That Madeline posted on. TikTok, she revealed.
• 3:25
  That central C was D Ming her at the same time that he was
• 3:28
  commenting on Ice Spice's content.
• 3:31
  It was later revealed. That Central C and Ice Spice
• 3:33
  wrote a song. Together did it first.
• 3:35
  Which is seemingly all about cheating with that song dropping
• 3:38
  last week. This is what led users to
• 3:40
  believe that. Everything going on between
• 3:42
  Central C, Ice Spice and Madeline RG was.
• 3:45
  Part of a bigger. Publicity stunt?
• 3:47
  But things became clear when Madeline posted her TikTok.
• 3:50
  Series where she revealed. That it wasn't APR move and she
• 3:53
  really didn't know what was going on.
• 3:55
  Yeah, no, obviously not. Girls, you told me to stand up,
• 3:58
  so I'm standing up. Let me tell you how I did not
• 4:00
  know that any of this was going to fucking happen.
• 4:03
  Let me take you guys back a couple months.
• 4:05
  I'm laid up in bed with Pookie and he comes to me and he's
• 4:08
  like, I have a new song to show and I'm like, yes, serenade me.
• 4:11
  I'm like ready to hear some poetry.
• 4:14
  Then he plays me his verse. I'm like, what the fuck?
• 4:16
  Not only did you just snitch on yourself that you're cheating,
• 4:19
  but you just told me exactly how.
• 4:21
  Give me your fucking phone. She then went on to discuss the
• 4:24
  Leo Halton relationship rumors saying that Central C had.
• 4:27
  Told her that he. Was going to hire an influencer
• 4:29
  to promote his music. To do this, he promised to send
• 4:32
  the influencer. A car so that she could.
• 4:35
  Record a lip syncing video quote.
• 4:37
  He didn't tell me that he was sending her his personal.
• 4:39
  Car to start a. Dating rumor with her.
• 4:42
  I was with you. Guys knee deep in that comment
• 4:44
  section asking if we were still together.
• 4:47
  At this point, she had started to understand what was going on,
• 4:50
  but when she came to this realization, it was right.
• 4:53
  Before they were scheduled to. Leave on this trip for Nigeria.
• 4:56
  So with all the rumors circulating, she knew it would
• 4:58
  not be good for. Her or her?
• 4:59
  Reputation to be seen with him, so she said she would go on the
• 5:02
  holiday as long as no pictures. Leaked, obviously the pictures.
• 5:06
  Ended up leaking anyways, she said.
• 5:09
  Quote. I then remember he also gave me
• 5:11
  a release date for the song and I'm realizing that it's only a
• 5:13
  little over a month. Away this Lagos.
• 5:15
  Incident was not a coincidence and I'm knee deep in this.
• 5:18
  Guy's plot. So after all of.
• 5:20
  This Madeline comes to the conclusion that she has.
• 5:23
  To break up. With him, so she asks him to
• 5:25
  have a conversation. Central C was adamant to see her
• 5:29
  on July 1st, around two weeks after she initially asked.
• 5:32
  Madeline didn't end up seeing him that day and he called her
• 5:34
  saying quote. You need to remember that I'm a
• 5:36
  human being when you see what you're going to see tomorrow.
• 5:40
  The next day he was. Spotted with ice spice.
• 5:43
  Imagine you break up with your boyfriend one night and the next
• 5:46
  day he is posted up with ice spice in Chrome hearts.
• 5:49
  I didn't even actually get to break up with him and he's
• 5:52
  already with the next girl. He gave me not even like 12
• 5:56
  hours notice before he was being filmed in Chrome Hearts with
• 5:59
  her. The flight from America is 12
• 6:02
  hours. She was already on the fucking
• 6:04
  plane. Madeline even revealed.
• 6:06
  That this was all. After Central C and his team had
• 6:09
  continued to try and contact her.
• 6:11
  His team has even made claims like Central C was not involved
• 6:15
  in the marketing decision quote. All I'm seeing are comments like
• 6:18
  how could she condone this? This is so embarrassing for her.
• 6:21
  Why would she let Herman act like?
• 6:22
  This. Guys, I wasn't condoning it.
• 6:24
  I never. Agreed to this.
• 6:26
  And most of the criticism? Of course, classic.
• 6:31
  Has been leveled against Ice Spice for not being a.
• 6:33
  Girl's girl. As if Ice Spice was possibly.
• 6:37
  Even aware that Madeline, Argie and Central Sea were dating.
• 6:40
  Like I wasn't even aware of that anymore.
• 6:42
  I knew they. Used to date.
• 6:43
  I definitely did not realize that they were.
• 6:45
  Still, possibly together, the criticism should be.
• 6:49
  Leveled against Central C for using these women in his PR
• 6:53
  plot. Not ICE spies, but anyways.
• 6:55
  A lot of people though, of course, still believe that all
• 6:58
  of this. Is PR that like Madeline's whole
• 7:00
  series and everything, is all for PRI?
• 7:02
  Don't believe that. I do believe that this is.
• 7:04
  All genuine, but you know, that is some people's opinion.
• 7:08
  So, Madeline. Posted a picture yesterday.
• 7:10
  On her Instagram with someone who looked like central C.
• 7:13
  So people are like, OK, so is this publicity other?
• 7:15
  People think, well, maybe she's just like dealing with all of
• 7:18
  this through humor by posting that photo.
• 7:20
  And then on top of all of this, Central C brought out ice.
• 7:23
  Spice at Wireless Festival. Seemingly feeding into the
• 7:26
  discourse. Nevertheless, Madeline did seem
• 7:29
  to dispel these rumors in her recent TikTok, where she wrote
• 7:32
  Airing My Dirty Laundry. Because I got publicly.
• 7:34
  Humiliated and I still can't beat the PR allegations.
• 7:37
  OK, the next story that. I have.
• 7:40
  In a similar vein, Clinton Kane has responded to Brooke
• 7:45
  Schofield's allegations in his own TikTok.
• 7:47
  Series you guys know I obviously had to talk about.
• 7:50
  This OK, so Clinton Kane has made his own version of.
• 7:54
  These Who the fuck? Did I marry TikTok series in
• 7:57
  response to ex-girlfriend Brooke.
• 7:58
  Schofield Series. From like 2:00.
• 8:00
  Weeks ago. So Clinton made APR statement to
• 8:03
  Rolling Stone, but I guess. He's I.
• 8:05
  Don't know, not satisfied. With how all of.
• 8:08
  That went down. So he decided.
• 8:10
  Over the weekend to make a 24 part TikTok series attempting to
• 8:15
  debunk all of Brooke's allegations.
• 8:17
  In case you missed it, in late June, Clinton posted a tik.
• 8:20
  T.O.K to. Promote his new album in which
• 8:23
  he. Called his ex.
• 8:24
  Girlfriend Brooke out for yapping about the relationship.
• 8:27
  Two years later, so Brooke has a.
• 8:29
  Podcast with Tana Mojo and on this podcast and in other
• 8:31
  interviews. Over the years, she has.
• 8:33
  Occasionally talked about her relationship with Clinton
• 8:35
  because it was so. Bizarre.
• 8:37
  So anyways, that was like what? He was referencing to when he
• 8:40
  said she won't stop yapping after two years.
• 8:42
  So Brooke saw this. TikTok and was basically like oh
• 8:44
  you want to call me up for yapping?
• 8:46
  I'll give you. Yapping and she posted.
• 8:48
  This whole series. Exposing a bunch of his lies and
• 8:50
  what it was like to date him. So she said that the.
• 8:53
  Public narrative that his whole family, mother, brother and
• 8:56
  father died in the same year is a lie and that only.
• 8:59
  His father is past. She also said he's from Brunei,
• 9:03
  not Australia, despite frequently speaking in an
• 9:06
  Australian accent and interviews and talking about how he grew up
• 9:09
  in Perth. OK, so in Clinton series there
• 9:13
  were so many other things like she she told all these things, I
• 9:15
  mean. You guys know the?
• 9:16
  Series like I'm sure all of you have watched it by now, but you
• 9:19
  know she. Also told.
• 9:21
  A bunch of different. Stories to really.
• 9:22
  Paint the picture. Of like how?
• 9:25
  Manipulative and much of A. Liar he was.
• 9:28
  Like he was just lying about so much stuff.
• 9:30
  Like he was just lying about his age he was lying about.
• 9:32
  The fact that the. Car he drove wasn't actually
• 9:35
  his. Like there was just so much that
• 9:36
  he was lying about South in Clinton.
• 9:38
  Series he basically tries to go like lie for lie with Brooke.
• 9:42
  He gets so petty. And he's like, you know, for
• 9:44
  example, in one of. Her videos, she said that they
• 9:47
  got pulled. Over on the way.
• 9:48
  To Joshua Tree. And when they got pulled over,
• 9:51
  that's when she realized that the car wasn't registered in his
• 9:54
  name, even though she. I thought it was his car.
• 9:56
  And. He in his video is like.
• 9:59
  We didn't get pulled over on the way.
• 10:01
  To Joshua Tree. We got pulled over on the way
• 10:04
  back. From Joshua Tree, like gotcha.
• 10:07
  And it's like that's actually. Not the point.
• 10:11
  No one cares if Brooke's story was.
• 10:14
  Embellished. Or details were slightly.
• 10:17
  Off like we all understand that the story she was telling was in
• 10:20
  the moment. It was heated and it was
• 10:21
  hyperbole. It was not her recounting with
• 10:24
  like, you know. Factual receipts and dates.
• 10:27
  And all of this stuff. Oh my God.
• 10:28
  Speaking of dates, at one point in his series, he made a Google
• 10:31
  Calendar. Where he put like the dates that
• 10:35
  he saw Brooke because she said, Oh my God.
• 10:37
  We were together like every day from the moment we started
• 10:39
  dating and he was like. Take a look at this.
• 10:41
  I went through all of our messages and stuff and I put
• 10:44
  together when I would have seen her.
• 10:46
  And as you can see, we were not together every day like Clinton.
• 10:50
  Everybody understands. Hyperbole like we all.
• 10:52
  Understand what she meant by. That.
• 10:55
  OK, the things that people. Actually care about are the fact
• 10:58
  that you apparently lied about. Your mother and your brother
• 11:00
  being dead and he. Barely addressed that.
• 11:03
  He didn't address. His brother, he addressed.
• 11:05
  His mom and he said, I mean, as we know in the Rolling Stone
• 11:07
  thing, he maintains that it was like a mother like figure, not
• 11:10
  actually his mom who? Died and he gives.
• 11:12
  This story about some woman who I don't know like saw him for
• 11:17
  who? He was.
• 11:18
  In a moment when he really needed it and she was like an
• 11:20
  older woman and was, I think, his best friend's mom, he said.
• 11:24
  And yeah. Basically she.
• 11:25
  Passed away and he. Was very sad about it, like it
• 11:27
  was so it was just not what he's.
• 11:30
  Been telling the public like that's just not the story he's
• 11:32
  been telling. Like he has been telling.
• 11:34
  The story. That his whole family died all
• 11:37
  within the same year, and that is the story that he's been
• 11:39
  using to get. Clout for his career.
• 11:41
  And then on the topic of him not being from Australia, he claims.
• 11:45
  That he moved. To Australia and lived there for
• 11:49
  like some of his childhood. Which is why he has.
• 11:51
  Kind of an Australian accent and he talked about how he moved
• 11:55
  around a lot as a kid and like. That's why he has.
• 11:58
  Kind of a random accent. But if you guys have ever.
• 12:00
  Heard of various interviews with him?
• 12:03
  You'll know that he turns this accent on and off.
• 12:06
  Basically. So that was his story about
• 12:08
  that. And then my friend Crystal, she.
• 12:10
  Made a really good. Point, she said.
• 12:12
  The worst part of this whole series?
• 12:14
  Is that he ended it by saying he will dedicate his entire career
• 12:17
  to mental health. Like cringe.
• 12:20
  OK, sure. So I think.
• 12:23
  There are some people that are like, oh, OK.
• 12:25
  Like, you know, to be fair, like when I was first watching it, I
• 12:27
  was. Like oh, OK.
• 12:29
  Where is this going? And I was like, oh, am I going
• 12:32
  to end up on Clinton side here? And then I don't know I.
• 12:35
  Watched it for probably. Like 2 more minutes.
• 12:36
  I was like, never mind, this guy is.
• 12:37
  Such a psycho. He's just digging himself into a
• 12:40
  deeper and deeper hole. And then Brooke responded.
• 12:43
  She made a few different tick tocks, like basically saying
• 12:46
  what I said about. The like.
• 12:47
  He's trying to. Go live for lie.
• 12:48
  And like, he's not actually properly addressing any of the
• 12:51
  things. That are actually the big issue
• 12:54
  I thought that this was going to be over I think I.
• 12:55
  Actually said that when I reported on this last week.
• 12:57
  I think I was like Clinton. Kane will never want to bring
• 12:59
  this up again. So like this is.
• 13:01
  Probably done and and I don't think that Brooke wants to
• 13:03
  either because I think she just wants to like let this drama go.
• 13:07
  But no, I was wrong. It just keeps going.
• 13:10
  OK, the next story that I have. For you guys, is that Tricia?
• 13:12
  Paytas stars in. Katy Perry's latest.
• 13:14
  Music video So Queen of the Internet Tricia Paytas.
• 13:18
  Is the star of. Katy Perry's new music video
• 13:21
  Woman's World the Music. Videos for Katie's.
• 13:24
  Upcoming album 143 and the song, apparently.
• 13:29
  Is supposed. To celebrate women empowerment,
• 13:31
  although if you've heard the song.
• 13:33
  You know it, basically. Sounds like a child's version of
• 13:37
  a song that they would make for the intro of the Barbie movie.
• 13:40
  Like, you know, Lizzo's pink, it feels like.
• 13:42
  Katy Perry wrote that. For the Barbie movie and was
• 13:45
  like hoping that it would. Get picked up but it was just
• 13:48
  like 2. Juvenile.
• 13:49
  I don't know. It's actually like.
• 13:51
  It's not a good song. It's not a good song.
• 13:53
  OK, so in the video Tricia pulls a massive red monster.
• 13:56
  Truck with a rope. While wearing truly the smallest
• 14:00
  denim outfit ever. Katie and Tricia then drive.
• 14:03
  Off together, Tricia's. Driving and she's driving like
• 14:05
  really chaotically and I saw somebody say that possibly her
• 14:09
  driving like it's a reference to her iconic mukbang videos like
• 14:11
  her car mukbangs and Katie's like trying to do her makeup in
• 14:15
  the passenger seat, but it's like going everywhere because
• 14:17
  Trisha is driving so quickly and.
• 14:19
  It's just that. Kind of like.
• 14:21
  Stick like slapstick like female haha like.
• 14:24
  Humor that did work in Like Katy.
• 14:28
  Perry music videos years ago, but like, we've just evolved.
• 14:32
  Since then, you know. So unfortunately a lot.
• 14:35
  Of people are not. Happy with Trish for.
• 14:37
  Participating in this video, including myself because.
• 14:41
  Of who Katy Perry has collaborated with.
• 14:43
  On this album, Doctor. Luke.
• 14:46
  So Doctor Luke recently settled a rape allegation lawsuit with
• 14:49
  singer Kesha. Kesha has been very open about
• 14:52
  how Doctor Luke ruined her life and he countersued her at one
• 14:56
  point for this and they ended up going back and forth for.
• 14:58
  Years. It was very stressful.
• 15:00
  Taylor Swift I think had to pay her legal bills at one point
• 15:02
  like. This was a very high profile
• 15:05
  case. And it was very well known in
• 15:07
  Hollywood that this was happening, like a lot.
• 15:09
  Of celebrities spoke out. In support of Kesha.
• 15:12
  So a lot of people were kind of like, what the fuck?
• 15:13
  Like, why would Katy Perry? Work with him.
• 15:16
  Especially given that the theme of the.
• 15:19
  Song is woman empowerment. Like it's actually just.
• 15:23
  Sounds like an SNL skit. So the reason why?
• 15:26
  People are upset with Tricia, I mean.
• 15:28
  Obviously that's. Upsetting enough, but the other?
• 15:30
  Part of it is that Tricia has. Been so.
• 15:31
  Vocal over the course of her. Career speaking out in.
• 15:34
  Support of survivors. Because she has experienced
• 15:37
  sexual assault and things like that in her youth.
• 15:40
  And you know she. Speaks out about predators.
• 15:43
  And like. Age gap relationships.
• 15:44
  Because of experiences that she's had.
• 15:46
  So, people. Are kind of like this goes
• 15:48
  against a lot of what Tricia seems to stand for, however, as.
• 15:52
  A Tricia Paytas scholar. I will say that she does.
• 15:56
  Pick and choose. She picks and chooses.
• 15:59
  When she takes that stand, and it depends on who she's with and
• 16:03
  what she's trying to get out of that moment in time, you know,
• 16:07
  there's a lot of allegations against her husband Moses, for
• 16:10
  example. So, you know, I think I'm not
• 16:14
  totally. Surprised that she would choose
• 16:16
  to do this because. I think the opportunity to be in
• 16:19
  a music. Video for Katy Perry.
• 16:20
  Like it's so mainstream and even though Tricia is like more
• 16:24
  relevant and more well liked than Katy Perry in the current
• 16:28
  cultural. Zeitgeist like Katy Perry.
• 16:29
  Is still an A list celebrity. Right, so it seems like it's
• 16:32
  possible that Katy Perry worked with Doctor Luke because either
• 16:36
  a she. Doesn't believe the allegations
• 16:38
  that Kesha put against him. B.
• 16:40
  She doesn't care because they don't impact her.
• 16:43
  Didn't happen. Her or C.
• 16:44
  She just doesn't care because she wants to have a number one.
• 16:48
  Hit so Doctor Luke produced I kissed.
• 16:50
  A girl and also California girls for Katy Perry and.
• 16:54
  This is obviously like. A comeback album for her.
• 16:56
  So people are like. Well, maybe she just is putting,
• 17:00
  you know. The success of her.
• 17:01
  Career over working with him, her ethics around working with
• 17:04
  him. But I think where she misses the
• 17:06
  mark, and I'll talk about this more in a second, but like where
• 17:08
  she's missing the mark here. Is that we're just.
• 17:10
  In a different time, things have changed so much with fandom
• 17:15
  culture, you know? Our relationship with
• 17:18
  celebrities, our perception of. Celebrities our expectations of.
• 17:20
  Celebrities like you can't. Just get away with that anymore.
• 17:23
  And that's where she really missed the mark and went wrong.
• 17:27
  And Kat Zhang for. The cut she described.
• 17:30
  This as saying that Katy Perry seems like she's stuck in 2016.
• 17:34
  So this. Is a direct quote from the
• 17:36
  article. She wrote, quote, Katy Perry is
• 17:38
  like Barbie. In Barbie Land, Stuck in a La
• 17:40
  Dee da Dimension, in which Hillary Clinton is still the
• 17:43
  Democratic presidential nominee, male tears, mugs make bank on
• 17:47
  Etsy, and the most transgressive thing a celebrity can do is sing
• 17:51
  fight song in an interview with Zane Lowe Perry.
• 17:55
  Guest. People recognize her mostly for
• 17:57
  quote songs with a message, songs that are captions on
• 18:00
  T-shirts and stuff, betraying a fundamental misunderstanding of
• 18:04
  her appeal. She's always been at her weakest
• 18:07
  when she comments on Capital S society, as in her wake up
• 18:11
  sheeple manifesto change to the rhythm.
• 18:14
  What people want from Katy Perry is fantasy escapism.
• 18:18
  In the end, Woman's World comes off so forgettable, so cringe.
• 18:21
  That it overshadows the. Blatant hypocrisy of having.
• 18:25
  An alleged predator produce it. And I.
• 18:28
  Actually agree with that. Of course, there's a lot of
• 18:30
  discourse about the Doctor Luke hypocrisy of it all.
• 18:33
  But there is more discourse. As far as I've.
• 18:35
  Seen of people just being like this is a truly bad song and
• 18:38
  that just hits the nail right on the head.
• 18:40
  There. All right.
• 18:41
  The last story that I have for you guys.
• 18:43
  It's a big one today, Monday. Four stories.
• 18:46
  I wanted to talk. About how the sketch.
• 18:48
  Only fans leak has prompted male streamers to show tons of
• 18:52
  support for the LGBTQ plus community.
• 18:56
  This is kind of boy Internet, but it's so important and I
• 18:59
  think it was one of the biggest, like Internet viral moments that
• 19:02
  we've had in the last. Couple of weeks so sketch he.
• 19:06
  Is one of the biggest Twitch streamers on the platform with
• 19:09
  over 1,000,000 followers. He only started streaming in
• 19:12
  2023, and he gained his fame mostly for playing Madden NFL
• 19:17
  20. Four OK, so last week a YouTube
• 19:20
  channel titled Pocketbook posted.
• 19:22
  A video claiming that Twitch streamer Sketch had a past as a
• 19:26
  gay content creator on Only Fans.
• 19:29
  The video. Featured screenshots from
• 19:31
  Sketches Only fans. Video so it provided.
• 19:34
  Quote UN quote proof in the video, Pocketbook claimed that
• 19:37
  they felt comfortable sharing this information in these
• 19:39
  screenshots because, quote, being LGBTQ plus is not a career
• 19:44
  ender. However, many viewers.
• 19:47
  Saw it as pocketbook. Trying to out sketch in some
• 19:50
  type of malicious way and I. Agree with that.
• 19:53
  So on Monday, Sketch, whose real name is Kylie.
• 19:56
  Cox addressed this video. Saying he was, quote, living
• 20:00
  under the threat of that coming out for two.
• 20:02
  Years. He said he was going through a
• 20:05
  dark time and facing addiction issues while creating those
• 20:08
  videos and then he also. Said, which was just so sad.
• 20:11
  He also said that if he was. Alone when Pocketbook had.
• 20:15
  Leaked these videos. Like when these videos?
• 20:17
  Got leaked. He might not be here right now.
• 20:21
  He said his friends and family being around him during that
• 20:24
  time, like, kept him here. So sad he was so.
• 20:28
  Open and vulnerable about. How like horrible this.
• 20:33
  Experience was for him and I think it's, I mean, there's a
• 20:36
  lot of powerful things happening here.
• 20:37
  But just off the. Bat I think this.
• 20:39
  Is a powerful way to go about it because we see.
• 20:42
  This a lot of times like women celebrities and influencers,
• 20:45
  they get their nudes leaked and things like this happen to them
• 20:47
  like deep fake porn and whatever and I think we so often see
• 20:51
  women be the target of these things and breakdown over these,
• 20:55
  you know types of experiences and we so.
• 20:57
  Rarely see. A man in that way.
• 21:00
  So I think and when it comes to like toxic masculinity and
• 21:03
  breaking down those barriers and showing that, you know, he
• 21:07
  doesn't have to be all tough about.
• 21:08
  This he doesn't have to be like fuck you or he.
• 21:09
  Doesn't have to deny it or whatever.
• 21:11
  Like he's saying, yeah, that was me and like I was in a dark
• 21:14
  place, but I'm also in a very dark place right now that this
• 21:16
  has been leaked. I think that's just.
• 21:18
  Powerful for like. Men's mental health advocacy in
• 21:22
  general. So several big creators.
• 21:24
  Have spoken out in support of Sketch including Phase clan CEO
• 21:28
  phase banks. So faze Banks tweeted not
• 21:31
  everything needs to be broadcast and farmed.
• 21:34
  But since y'all want to jump to crazy assumptions, Sketch told
• 21:37
  me to post. These receipts, all the Faze
• 21:40
  Boys were. With him last night.
• 21:41
  Sketch was my homie yesterday, he's my homie today, he'll be my
• 21:45
  homie tomorrow. You guys are fucking weirdos.
• 21:48
  And what he posted was a screenshot of text messages
• 21:51
  between himself and Sketch, Banks wrote.
• 21:54
  You awake, Sketch wrote. I'm sorry, bro, I didn't mean to
• 21:57
  involve y'all, Banks wrote. Bro, What do you mean?
• 22:00
  You're our boy. You didn't have to dip.
• 22:01
  You didn't involve us in anything, bro.
• 22:03
  You good, Sketch wrote. I'm over.
• 22:06
  By airport I. Didn't know what to do.
• 22:07
  I'm so sorry. And then Banks wrote.
• 22:10
  Come back, you're good. Dude, the boys pulled.
• 22:12
  Up on me and woke me up they wanted to make.
• 22:14
  Sure, you were good. You're good bro.
• 22:16
  Come back, we're all here. You're the homie.
• 22:18
  And then he. Actually offers to.
• 22:20
  Call him a car. So this is like such a cute.
• 22:23
  Exchange like such a nice, like a heartwarming exchange to see.
• 22:27
  I mean, we know. I literally.
• 22:28
  Just did a whole series on how. Gaming and streaming can.
• 22:31
  Be so toxic. It's such a toxic space for.
• 22:35
  Women. Gender diverse.
• 22:37
  People. LGBTQ people.
• 22:39
  It's an alpha male masculine environment and face clan, you
• 22:46
  know. They're kind of.
• 22:46
  At the top of that industry in a lot of ways and face banks is
• 22:49
  their. CEO so to see.
• 22:50
  Him supporting like sharing those text messages and being
• 22:53
  so. Supportive of this was really.
• 22:55
  Sweet. Now there have been some
• 22:57
  influencers who spoke out against Sketch, like Sneako who
• 23:01
  slammed Sketch for lying about. His life, however, people.
• 23:04
  Have been defending or like coming to Sketch's defense
• 23:08
  against the people that are talking about him.
• 23:09
  So, like Karina Kopp, for example, came to Sketch's
• 23:12
  defense against Sneako, calling him incredibly dense and
• 23:15
  questioning why Sketch would need to disclose who he was
• 23:18
  sleeping with. Others who spoke out in support
• 23:21
  of Sketch include Kai Sanat, Hassan Piker, Dan Katz and New
• 23:25
  York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner.
• 23:27
  So some. Really high profile people.
• 23:29
  Like I said in the gaming streaming space or just like
• 23:32
  these really hyper masculine. Spaces like professional
• 23:34
  athletes. Dan Katz is the.
• 23:37
  Barstool podcast guy like. Environments that are hyper
• 23:41
  masculine and I think this. Is just so positive.
• 23:45
  And I that's why I wanted to highlight this story.
• 23:48
  I saw somebody say that the sketch and how he's handled the
• 23:53
  situation has done more for. LGBTQ plus advocacy Advocacy.
• 23:57
  And. Allyship.
• 23:59
  In like the gaming and streaming space than anyone else has done
• 24:04
  in what? Feels like years just by.
• 24:07
  Owning it and being vulnerable with his audience and saying
• 24:11
  this. Is actually really hard.
• 24:12
  For me, and I don't know if I'm OK now that this has been leaked
• 24:16
  because it's, you know, all these people have come out and
• 24:18
  rallied around him and it's just showing this like, really.
• 24:22
  Positive side of the. Industry that I think we don't
• 24:24
  see very often. So that's that on that anyways,
• 24:29
