Today, after much request, we are FINALLY diving into the iilluminaughtii situation. I wanted to take the time to go over everything she has been criticized about over the years to recent events regarding Legal Eagle, the Sad Milk group members such as One Topic, The Click, Oz Media, Wonderstruck and iilluminaughtii herself. As we go down this nearly two hour long rabbit hole, you will see a very interesting pattern of behavior when it comes to Blair and the way that she treats people.
As of this time, Blair has made only one response to the initial twitter threads made from Legal Eagle and members from Sad Milk. She has not responded to the more serious accusations made after her original response video and there is no telling if she eventually will respond.

It takes an unbelievable narcissist to accuse a copyright lawyer of copyright and think it'll go in their favor
lol ikr
And her ego wouldn't let her just apologize to Legal Eagle (not even with faux sincerity), take the L and admit her mistake. She digged herself into this hole.
I've never watched his channel, I just knew he was a lawyer I wasn't aware his specialty was copyright. OMG. 😂😂 I can't, lordy she's a danger to herself.
@@mahogara As shitty as she has turned out to be, she did actually privately apologize to LegalEagle before making the apology public. Whether it was sincere or not is another question.
She should've been aware that if she accused a copyright lawyer of copyright, then she'd be hit with a counterattack of copyright herself. Blair shouldve really left that drama alone and handle it differently.
If I had a nickel for every time a relatively popular faceless commentary KZheadr was exposed for making fake accounts to harass someone else I would have two, which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it has happened twice
I had the same thought. Assuming you’re referring to creepshowart. The comparison is really interesting-their channels were both about exposing “bad” people and they both always acted like the (faceless) moral authority
@@skincarejerk6040 Also their names are weirdly apt for their actions. Creepshow was a creep, Illuminaughtti was a naughty conspirator.
@@whattwowhat BRB making a KZhead channel called “financially secure”
this was a very meta joke, i appreciate you for making it.
I bet you would have a lot more than you think!
"As an *AUTIST* " fucking sent me, how convincing did she think it was 😂😭
not to mention that that term is very.....unsavory, at least in my experience as an autistic person in the autistic community
@@prince_8bit Oh I totally agree with you, it's really unsavory. It makes her look even worse IMO (I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis either for ASD, ADHD or both since I present signs of both and they all correlate with each other)
@@senthecat14 I had no idea it was a bad word, considering I know someone who never stops talking about how she's autistic but calls herself an autist.
As soon as I saw that being said, I thought, "Bullshit, no way you're autistic if you use that term positively."
@@aromaladyellie I've seen one or two people use it but in general it is very frowned upon (at least) and most autistic people don't use it
True story; years ago, when my friend was in college his car got stolen. The car thief left a plastic storage tub on the curb next to where the car had been with my friend's college textbooks and his CD collection inside. In my humble opinion that makes this random car thief a better person than Blair. The text books alone were worth far more than the car.
Jesus Christ
Respect to the thief, understood how expensive textbooks are
@@Kiriuu seemed like someone who was just desperate and wanted to cause the least harm they could. The car reappeared on the same block it was stolen from a few weeks later with no major damage except the ignition being modified so that it could start it without the proper key.
What a nice ending. I fully expected a crashed car or just never seeing it again. Question: did your friend decide to try and find/charge the thief? Honestly, I think if someone had left all my things behind, I would assume they only wanted the luxury of a car...
@@torglesnarfprime once his car was back he really didn't care anymore. The police didn't seem to be doing much while it was missing and he was a busy student so he just never bothered asking any followup questions.
Rule of thumb: never trust anyone who will wrong you publicly but will only apologize privately. The CWHM situation is just so manipulative.
1000000% agree
Exactly, if someone wrongs you publicly, they’re crossing the line. These kinds of people have no shame.
It allows for the abuser to control the narrative as the other person being in the wrong, leaving the "evidence" up for anyone to find even after a supposed resolution.
That’s why I always wrong people publicly and refuse to apologize publicly
If you have trouble saying her YT channel, you could always just stick with Maddie. Either way, she didn't deserve to be back-handed like she was.
Man, if Blair reacts that badly to couple people criticizing her, she must be blowing her top right now.
I think she’s in a constant state of shock watching the walls close in, crying, shaking in a corner of a room somewhere incoherently babbling. Maybe even reciting quotes from her videos at random.
@@TitaniumTurbine Either that or she's draining her bank account hiring people to dig up dirt on every single KZheadr talking about her
@@Tyrany42 🤣 Right? Like one last hail mary attempt to discredit a hundred commentary channels before she has to tell her staff there’s not going to be a payday.
@@TitaniumTurbine "IF I'M GOING DOWN I'M TAKING EVERYBODY WITH ME..." 😂
Poetic justice
Fun fact! In an Autism Speaks video, Blair explicity said that she WASN'T autistic
yea blair has a lying problem
This is what I find most ridiculous. I'm auDHD and the r-word has never bothered me personally and it's used in my in-person ND friend group without issue. I don't think I've ever actually heard it in a derogatory manner directed at a ND or disabled person personally (I'm 27 this month so that may be why). Anyways! It felt so weird to see Blair use that as ammo while she herself failed to research her earlier Autism Speaks videos (she did correct/redo things later - after a lot of asking from Autistic people) and then seeing her pretend to be an autist on an alt account - all to hurt someone else's reputation. Like. What a wild ride. The hypocrisy, lying, and all that - that's what's so offensive and disgusting imo.
@@lief1922 I have heard the r word used in a deragatory way, though mostly with teens, but if it's used without ill intent and with NDs, which a good couple of my ND friends do, it's not really problematic. Her making a big deal about it, then faking being ND and possibly disabled to tear someone down is just terrible
@@seanraymond4358 Its a formerly clinical term that was weaponized.
@@Seth9809 I know.
Cruel World Happy Mind is a really kind and elegant person, and for Illuminati to straight up being disrespectful towards her was horrible to see :(
That's when I unsubscribed from illuminaughty, but I always felt it wasn't right how she suffered 0 consequences for being so shitty and basically threatening Madison into "coming to an agreement" without even really apologizing or taking real responsibility. This has been a long time coming.
Blaire is 100% a narcissist. She manipulates people, she silences anyone who try to criticize her and so on.
@@bib4eto656Exactly what I did.
Cruel world happy mind is a doll❤
I watched Blair's channel for a good while because I really enjoyed her breaking down shady companies and MLM's and i thought "how could someone who has such a strong moral compass be a bad person themselves?" And boy, howdy was i wrong. After seeing everyone's responses, I had to unsubscribe. You can't have this many people claiming the same issues with you and expect people to think you're innocent.
CreepShow Art also constantly called people out for doing the same things it turned out she'd been the one doing in secret. I also followed her right up until that story broke, you'd think I'd have learned from that but...nope. I was following Blair right up until this came out, too. What's next, is MrBallen going to turn out to be a murderer?
@@bloodyneptune I feel your pain, I was a fan of both CreepShow Art and Blair. Everyone keeps saying "I had a bad feeling about them" and I'm just like "please share your vibes radar with me because mine is defective"
And yet there are still people that will die on the hill that she's innocent or that she acknowledged her wrongdoings. Remember when she accused r/slash? I bet you she's also botted subs, and some of her positive comments are also botted. Could be wrong, but considering everything else, really wouldn't put it past her
@@gavinziozios1431 yeah now that you mentioned it, her "fans" might mostly be bots at this point. Yeah some legit accounts that just couldnt face reality exist. But the rest are just generic comments like "love u blair, keep it up❤" Possible they're legit. But they just sound so devoid of humanity, so automated. And the fact that Blair goes out of her way to actually heart these comments really adds to the suspicion given how she's been known to interact with herself with alt-accounts.
Yeah i loved blair and creepshow art when they were around, i know its dumb but i shed a couple tears because i loved blairs vids but I can't follow someone who's bullying others. Petty dumb drama is one thing but when your contstantly being a jerk its not ok. 😢
Cruel World Happy Mind was so kind, elegant, polite, and honest in her messages. It's a shame the response from her inspiration was so unhinged.
Madison is such a lovely soul!
I agree. I had no idea Blair was even the one she was talking about in her response video. Blew me away because I liked both of them.
It seems like a lot of people left Blair’s channel when she did all that to Madison; I was one of them. I just couldn’t go back to Blair. I found Madison with her Pearl Party (Vantel) video when she was still in her blue kitchen. It has been so awesome to see her channel blow up. She definitely deserves all the success she’s gotten. I hope people are checking her out since she’s being mentioned in all these videos.
I started watching them around the same time, and guess who I stopped watching a few years ago, and who I’m still watching. Lol
@@Mantuamaker Madison is absolutely fantastic in every way 🙌 one small thing I really wish she would return to her natural voice compared to the soft-spoken "narrator" way - I get it's a stylistic choice but it definitely makes the video feel way less personable
People who are discussing this drama are failing to mention a large piece when it comes to The Click. He is Swedish. Those videos came from when he was learning English. Because of his “American sounding” dialect it could be easily be concluded he learned a lot of English from watching American media, like KZhead. That context is very important when it comes to him saying those things.
Exactly! There's a difference between malicious intent and "Oh other people say this a lot I guess it's a normal English word." ... "oh." **sincere and rational apology**
the social context in which someone learns a word is VERY important to remember when discussing problematic words, and I can confirm a LOT of our media uses that word VERY casually even now, but especially back then - heck, Twitch and a lot of other platforms still don't even consider the R word to actually be against TOS at all and wont punish for its use. but also, I genuinely question the honesty of anyone who claims that the word was "never" seen as okay socially, especially when discussing 10 years ago because 10 years ago the R slur was treated as a literal parallel to calling something stupid (and 10 years ago we also know what word was casually being used to refer to 'stupid' as well) i'm ranting at this point but I just never like people who try to just revise history and act like they lived in some magic bubble of 'better people' and never once in their life heard it from friends/family. 'it was a different time' isn't an excuse, its a reminder that people don't always know back then what they know now and you can't judge past incidents based on current knowledge. there are people who genuinely still to this day have no idea the G word for Romani is actually a slur.
Thats a huge point to miss lmfao wow
I believe he even said as much--that he'd heard it used so much he didn't realize it was offensive, and the moment he did, he was horrified and stopped using it.
That was exactly my thought! I live in northern Europe (not in Sweden but our cultures are VERY similar) and the word was adopted into our slang and used as an alternative for words like ”dumbass” amongst friends. There was a different word used as a slur and it had nothing to do with the ”r-word”. Policing language, particularly from the past, is unproductive especially when it depends so heavily on your culture and upbringing.
I remember the Cruel World Happy Mind fiasco happening in real time, it's what first turned me off from Blaire. The boldfaced lie about "not knowing about the anti-mlm community" actually managed to wind me, which I guess is impressive in and of itself
It’s been years, I still have no idea why she lied about something like that.
How was the timeline? Did CWHM do her video before or after it was requested in the comments on the other channel? Because if she watches a channel, is inspired by the content, makes a video on the topic requested on that channel and then accuses the other person of stealing content, that just seems evil.
CWHM released the first video on Tyra Banks as it was part of the ANTM scandal that had yet to be covered (and as CWHM frequently references, she used to work as a model). Then people started asking Blair for it and hers came out… I want to say a couple weeks later. Since Blair started as a reddit channel, she was used to relying on using other people’s information and not compiling any research (let alone investigating). I stopped watching Blair because her content was way too repetitive; since I follow financial crime cases, I could instantly tell where she got her information and how plagiarized it was. I was shocked she had so many subscribers when this happened.
@@biguattipoptropica Thanks!
I remember learning about it from the guy she tried to silence (the one that used the fan art without permission). That was when I was first feeling off about her as well. Stopped watching her stuff because of that, but came back a bit later. But then dropped her off just due to lack of interest and remembering this. I think she must've also said something I did not like too much (that's me with a good amount of creators unfortunately. I will admit, I am more unforgiving than most people).
Former fan of hers. Sad to see her go the way of CreepShow. Hopefully her channel dies the same way Shannon’s did.
Also.. did she just try to do to the Click what Shannon did to Peaches?
@@GumSkyloard She's so creatively bankrupt, even has to plagiarize her downfall
Ditto, used to love her content. Sadly, there are still plenty of people who believe her. Luckily, KZhead isn't letting her bury this. Glad to see so much coverage, she can't escape
Her channel looks like it’s slowly dying, while she uploads new videos on her usual schedule like nothing happened. Typical.
Her videos can't even hit 200k views anymore, guess her channel is slowly dying now
I really liked Blair until an interaction we had like a year and a half ago where she blasted a non-creator on her community page. I replied to the post and asked her why she was sending her fans after this person when she had JUST ripped into Gabbie Hanna about doing the same thing. Blair berated and then blocked me and then went to Twitter and started subtweeting about me and others who were calling her out for the same thing. She has a serious accountability problem
💀 how petty
That sounds like Blair alright.
Damnnn
If such things are all it took for her card castle to start crumbling down it's incredible that it didn't start falling apart sooner. I guess she was just good at gaslighting and doing damage control.
@@ZorotheGallade it’s damage control she’s good at spinning a narrative. The issue is that she messed with an actual lawyer who basically killed her with kindness making her look like a tool to everyone. Once people were paying attention and asking questions about why she thought that was a good idea is when everything came to light. Usually she’s just destroying one person so she can overpower their voice this time their were to many different peoplez
She likes the more revealing image of her because she is portrayed a different body type that she probably wants to have, and the other one is more curvy and depicts her actual body type more accurately. So she got offended she was portrayed correctly and only turns a blind eye to fan art that makes her look more appealing to herself and the general ideals of "whats more attractive"
So she prefers the worse looking image? Weird.
Ah yes, I learned the lesson of how much certain people hate being drawn accurately when I was 14 pika (sadly, I had still drawn her thinner than she really was)
@@KleptoTbh I'd get upset too since I hate it when people draw plus size people's characters conventionally attractive skinny but the way she handled it is not so good, either ignore it or make sure to put boundaries for your OC when people draw art of them in general, suggestive and/or expressing boundaries when it comes to nsfw art as well
@@knockofffatelvira335 oh, no, I was drawing HER and she was upset that she was too large in the pic pika :/
@@Klepto Ohhhh, my bad I didn't read your message right, I apologize that really sucks as well, I bet the drawing looked amazing and you worked hard on it
The big lesson I've learned here is that, unless you are also a copyright lawyer, don't accuse a copyright lawyer of plagiarizing your work, or else all your skeletons will be let out of the closet
You ever wonder if Legal Eagle thought THIS kind of shitshow would come out and it would start with them? I feel like the team at LE is like that meme from Community where that one character comes back after like 10 mins and everything is on fire.
I used to be a fan of her and I was shocked to hear about all of this she always presented herself as Holyer than thou
Same.
That’s the internet for you. Everyone’s hiding behind a mask. Thing is sometimes a person is hiding really dirty secrets.

@@Seth9809 She is like Imallexx
thats what most apologies and responses are these days (i sounds old saying these days)
JaidenAnimations has had much worse and more lewd fanart than Blaire ever will, yet when given the chance to call these artists out, Jaiden just said "I don't like the art but I can't control what people draw." Crazy when a girl in her 20s handles a situation better than a woman in her 30s.
Poor Jaiden, that is horrible. I always used to love her videos. Haven’t seen any in a while but I hope she is well!!
Fr
I think it's still fair to call them out, even if it wouldn't be fair to try to get it removed. If you draw an irl person sexually without consent it's questionable at best and sexual harassment at worst.
idk i think people still have the right to be uncomfortable and express that without being attacked. Kind of insane that people think Jaiden almost resigning doing anything about it because of the backlash from weirdos is a sign of maturity and not a sad and horrible situation
I don’t think being a doormat for sexual harassment is the right answer either though
"She will remove the section about me from her video and in return I won't do a live stream about her" doesn't really strike me as a fair exchange, given that one person was way more good-faith than the other. It essentially amounts to "Don't tell the truth about me and I won't tell lies about you."
That's exactly what it was.
Yeah it seemed ultra threatening given the size of her channel and what she had already done to people she doesn’t like. Power dynamics isnt equal, far from it
that's the way I took it when iy happened and it left such a bad taste that I couldn't sub to Blair anymore.
Let's not forget it was a PLANNED livestream, girlie definitely already wrote down all the points she wanted to make to defame that poor woman
Right?? If I were in Blair's position, and I had come out of that conversation _genuinely_ feeling like this was all just a big misunderstanding, I'm not sure I would've blabbed to everyone about this "trade." I would've felt somewhat embarrassed about my planned livestream, and wouldn't expect anything in return for canceling it. (And even if I needed to explain this for some reason, I certainly would've worded it more carefully to avoid implying that I only cancelled it because I got what I wanted...!)
Shout out to LegalEagle for unknowingly start this expose session on Blair lol
I know and eagle was pretty nice and understanding to. The guy tried to not absolutely destroyed her like we all know he could and she still shot herself in the foot.
@@dragb9284 he just handed her the rope, she did the rest... gotta love it
She did it to herself, Legal Eagle just happened to be there xDD I would also argue that the catalyst was his editor, not Legal Eagle himself.
Makes me love him even more 😁
With a feature by hbomberguy. Honestly, I think the real trigger was him calling her out combined with The Click feeling a need to distance himself from her because of all the messages he was getting about it.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them. I believe the Click is from Sweden from the sound of his accent, and English isn’t his first language. As someone who is multi lingual I have accidentally said something that is inappropriate in German because I didn’t know the context. I had just translated the word in my head. Languages are living and ever changing things. While there are some words that are never ok to say, I am older (53) and when I was growing up the “r” slur was commonly used by people. Even in the press. Things have changed for the better. We are all more aware, but I believe in the Clicks case it may have been a bit of a context/ still learning English. You can be fluent in a language but still not understand all slurs and slang.
He is indeed Swedish, yes
Yes he is Swedish and wasn't fluent in English so he didn't know that word was a slur. Blair knows English is not his first language and still decided to use his usage of the word against him which is ironic since she uses it herself.
As someone in their 20s who is a native English speaker, I didn't know it was an offensive term until I went to college. A lot of people aren't aware that it is an ableist slur since it's not as infamous as slurs like the nword or the f slur.
As someone who is not a native English speaker and still learning, since, as you said, languages are living and ever changing. I once had a moment of using the r-slur as well, unfortunately I wasn't educated right away, so uh. If anyone wants to "cancel" me, go find my old amino messages i guess lol I do know better now!! But yeah, i think accidentally saying a slur (or just something really offensive) in a language you're not native in is really believable And honestly? Even if Click hadn't elaborated on the context and just said that it wasn't with ill intend. I would've simply assumed he didn't know what it meant, seeing as i had a similar experience
He is Swedish yes, but I very much doubt he didn't know that word is a slur. We study English from early on and most people watch TV and read in English often enough that as an adult, you know that is a slur. Even so, if you have never used a bad word even once, congrats, but I think most people have said something they shouldn't at some point, including slurs. It really should not be something that is used against him this way.
Honestly I don’t watch tehmimi but this is probably the most comprehensive illuminaughti controversy summary I’ve seen so far.
I also recommend iNabbers video on it

For anyone looking for a less informative but more reactionary commentary on Blaire, I recommend the Do We Know Them? Podcast episode, it was absolutely hilarious.
Wonder's portion discussing his mental health and Click's portion speaking of the sock account were some of the saddest things I had ever seen online. That pain was just awful to watch.
It was really sad. I wish them both happiness and healing in their futures ❤️

But it's so important to get out there, and show how harmful these types of toxic people are! Let's other victims of narcissistic abuse know they are not alone.. and hopefully will be the beginning of normalizing calling people like this out so they can be shamed as they should be and that these types of behaviors are not acceptable.
The wonderstruck video reply was so painful. 😢
She’s such a child; she reminds me of the bullies I had in middle school. The kind that play the victim, who think they’re better than you even when they do horrible things. Except she’s more dangerous, cause she had power and influence. That’s why she got away with this for so long. Her mistake was fighting someone just as big if not bigger than her. Not to mention someone well versed in the law. I can’t endorse someone like this, I hope she loses all her power she abused by losing her fans.
the fact that she's 30 years old acting half her age boggles my mind...
And she reminds me of Louis XVI and Napoleon Bonaparte!
@@entrapta.exe_ im 41 and I've noticed alot of people in this age bracket with something wrong with them.

This feels like deja vu of the creepshow art situation. Acts like a kind, compassionate human publicly, acts like a toxic dumpster fire privately.
Illuminaughty seems to have done a lot of similar things, but I feel like Creepshow was a LOT worse than Blair. A full magnitude worse. She went further, and for far longer, and to a greater depth in everything.
@@shademillith I'd actually argue the opposite: Blair is worse than Creepshow for a couple of reasons (not to downplay Creepshow Art's behavior AT ALL. She should definitely face legal trouble for what she did. So should Blair). Blair's worse because a) she has MULITPLE people she's done this to. Creepshow mainly focused her nastiness on Shannon. And b) Creepshow took the L and dipped after it all came out. Blair is still acting like nothing happened and claiming "false allegations".
I’m just glad Cruel World gets validated.
I just hope we don't see the same video about cruel world in the future 😂😂
From the DMs and everything unearthed she really seems to be very kind and to have a lot of grace, I hope she's doing ok
Right? It seems to me that she apologized when she didn’t need to and Blair kinda took it and ran.
Using Triangle Man as the transition music was low key clever to me. It's one of those times where I wish I would have thought about doing something like that.
Thank you! I can still hear it in my head after the hours of editing hahaha
@@TehMimi And it made me want to look up the Tiny Toons version again after all these years, which embarrassingly reminded me that it's titled Particle Man xD
I knew I recognized that tune!
That song + Instanbul (not Constantinople) on Tiny Toons tuned me into They Might Be Giants, one of my personal favorites bands, of all time.
One thing I want to point out is the fact that Wonderstruck was only nineteen years old, much younger than all the others in the group. He was barely past a very painful childhood, which he, unfortunately shared with her, only for her to use that knowledge against him.
Blair is a narcissist. There is no doubt about that.
@Misty Haney She got mad at her (ex)friends for "cultivating/supporting pedos" but in a way, she kinda was _like_ one herself. While she might not have had perverted feelings for Wonder, he was a MUCH younger man over which she had significant authority and power, which she DEFINITELY abused in ways not completely dissimilar to how pedos and child abusers treat their victims.. Maybe my comparison is a bit of a stretch, but she is still such an undeniably hypocritical narcissistic troglodyte.
@@asjdhuiwadh reminds me of my narcissistic mom. Using what i confide in her against me, to paint me out to just be crazy. Like shes doing with Wonder.
It really sounds like he was groomed, like not in a sexual way but groomed to be a completely dependent worker and minion and it really pisses me off.
Blair had always given me that “I’m very conceited and better than everyone” kind of attitude in all of her videos. She always seemed so high and mighty about her research (even if it was poorly researched). I stopped watching her years ago, but seeing all of this coming to light makes me happy that I stopped watching her.
Yep what gave me that vibe was her constantly always point her finger at the viewer
I'm pretty sure that was the reason I eventually unsubbed and stopped watching her videos entirely. Her level of conceit seems to have grown as her channel grew in size and influence, and it made me uncomfortable.
Same, I did like some topics she covered but I had the same vibe. Just bad and unwatchable after a while.
the way that wonder’s bf describes how wonder loves on james and prioritizes him over anything is so sweet and wonderful. he and james have such a precious friendship
Poor Casper...
So does bf here mean best friend or boyfriend? That distinction is important (to just do the people being talked about justice; id hate for someone to describe my girlfriend as just my best friend, even by just being unclear. I wouldnt hate the person, though; id just want people to know my girlfriend is my girlfriend ^^)
Just realized james is the doggies name and not his bfs name... dying laughing rn lmao. Gonna leave my first comment, but this is why animals having human names cracks me up so much, stuff like this (':
@Mars is Not Okay that gets even funnier when you remember that OTs irl first name is James. So when James the Dog had some tummy trouble and made a mess throughout the house at one point, James the Human KZheadr was like "waaaaat? I did no such thing". Pets with human names is top tier comedy.😂
Kinda want a ten hour compilation of Mimi saying "allegedly"
Same!
Same
🤷♂️
And we're talking about the same girl who started this video talking about how she was surprised that a survey asking us if we want more or less of her content came out as "more" lol
I'm sorry but "ten hour *complication* " just sounds so funny 😂
I must have a terrible "Bad person" detector, Not only was I an avid fan of Creepshow, but I LOVED Illuminaughtii videos. I'd put them on while I'd cook, or do homework, or even doing chores. It was like a podcast. I need to get better at noticing shady behavior lmao.
same
Same as well. Then again, I don't have the batteries for any social media besides watching/listening to KZhead. Miss out on a lot of stuff that way... Major thanks to TehMimi and others for bringing the receipts and doing all the hard work. Ignorance was bliss, but abusive behavior should never be ignored in favor of "I like their videos/music/etc." I unsubscribed after her repost of a tweet thread in her community tab. One last chance to do the right thing and take accountability, and she blew it. Her plushie I have has been boxed up. Not a corporate casket, but a shame box where bad businesses go to be shunned.
Dude same. First Miniladd, Creepshow and now Illuminaughtii (not to mention my own terrible past relationships but that's a different story). I can't catch a bad person to save my life.
I never liked or had heard of creepshow, but I would be like oh cool! Another Illuminaughttii video! And when there was one of those "Everyone hates her now!" Type videos on my recommended, I would be like oh, it's prob just saying someone was rude to her or something. Then I watched Click's video and my heart just shattered. Poor Mark.
@PlutoIsn'tReal It's strange. My 'bad person' detector is kinda unreliable as well and has a bumpy track record for being right about some and completely wrong about others. But for some reason, I realized a few months ago.. "damn, she DOES post a lot.. I wonder if her editor team is treated well. I sure hope this doesn't come out later as some sort of big drama issue or something with loads of underpaid editors or burnout or something even worse.." Lo and behold, I was right with my vague-ass thought I had ever how many months ago that was.. There's been some kind of pandemic with all the KZheadrs I watch turning out to be horrible people lately, I swear..
As someone who is autistic. I find people getting offended on my behalf over a word thats never offended them more offensive than someone saying the "r word". Ive been called the "r word" before in an insulting way, but seeing someone pretend to know whats it like to have autism only to gain something for themselves is so beyond offensive that i barely have the words.
I still get pretty uncomfortable when people use the R word.
@@bestaround3323 What about when it's used in other context, like to slow progress or action? I hope not, that would be pretty retarded.
@@CNYKnifeNut Still not a fan.
I used to say it a lot until my sister was diagnosed as autistic. I haven’t used it in 14 years, but I can’t stop others from using it.
As an autist I call things retarded alot, just find it funny
I never watched Blair's "apology" video. However, I watched Tipster react to it and something he said really made a lot of sense to me. When he reacted to it, he made a really, really great point that the vibe of Blair's "apology" very much felt like "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me" rather than a legitimate apology for how horribly she treated her former friends/employees. That made a lot of sense to me because of the way she made many accusations against Click and publicly talked about very personal conversations she had with Wonder about his mental health.
I watched a bit of it and it entirely came off as her trying to retaliate rather than share her side of the story, and then the suicide note came up and I don't think anyone could've described the feeling better. In hindsight, the entire video was laced with vindictiveness.
personally for me she had a very Creepshow art vibe to her channel, the way how everything was very black and white in her videos the way where all of the videos there was always a bad guy and Blair the saviour for gracing us with the knowledge, as if she was purposely choosing subjects which made her seem to be an angelic , as well as the way she presented herself as 'better than everyone else talking about the situation' when it was a popular subject.
similar for me. I don't think "oh, she is just like creepshow!" because of the thing she has done but because the way they spoke was just veeeeery similar. the holier than thou-attitude, the righteous anger and the unapologetic bashing and trash talking of family members or former friends where you know that they probably talk the same way about you the moment you turn your back at them.
understandable, but she definitely is not creepshow level at least
Yeah I saw those two as the same people and completely ignored their channels and even did the whole “do not recommend channel” thing cause I had probably watched like 1 video from each of the respectively and couldn’t even get through them completely because they both seem like such hateful angry people so when the creepshow stuff happened I kinda expected this to happen too I really wasn’t surprised with either tbh
I used to be a discord mod for Blair. She ended up banning me for being a potential victim of gr00ming. You read that right, they banned a 16 year old me because they thought I was being gr00med. I wasn't a mod at the time because I was going to focus on school, not the server. I'm still banned as well.
wtf
Yeah that's immensely messed up
No offense, but why are 16 year olds even able to be mods on discord for ADULTS? Blair is in her 30s so I’m not sure how/why she’s allowing anyone under the age of 18 in her discord server at all. That’s a bad look.
@@KMark2688 just to clarify, she did eventually add the rule that any future mods had to be over 18 like a couple of months after I was modded, but since I was already a mod she kept me as a mod.
Ohmygod what??? She'd ban a potential victim??? I'm disgusted
I really like CruelWorldHappyMind. I've watched a lot of her and Iilluminaughtii and always much preferred her because she's always so level-headed and gives people the benefit of doubt, whereas I have always found Iilluminaughtii to be a little vindictive. Blair is like that one toxic friend you had in your friendship group when you were 15.
"Picking your friend circle is an endorsement" You're right, Blair. I'm sorry. I forgot that words mean nothing and can be bent and molded to mean whatever we want them to mean at our convenience. Definitions be damned, I guess. And, yes, I'm going to be pedantic because she isn't acting any better 🤷🏾
I still think the beauty of the Cruel World Happy Mind situation is that now she’s a big channel with over 500k subscribers, and millions of views. Her content is always high quality, even if her uploads are slow.
Quality over quantity, as they say.
So I'm just now catching up to the whole situation (btw I knew from back in 2019 illuminaughti was full of BS, so I never bothered, and didn't even understand why people supported her for so long!) And her case really was infuriating to watch. Here you have an honest person trying to reach out to this... manipulative psycho, despite (allegedly) having her video copied by her, in a positive way, and she gets gaslit into thinking her stance was ridiculous... remember folks, this is the most obvious form of gaslighting, when they make you question your own reality.
First I saw iNabber exposing her, now you! Thank you so much for shedding light on this! 💕
iNabber is cool!
I subscribed to iNabber. Blair has lost my support permanently.
That was my thought too. I am so happy to see this story get the attention that it needs. Blair needs to learn that she cannot do crappy things and move on like nobody knew.
@@TehMimi Agreed!
@@kaishawna3753 Us and 150K more of her subbers
I took an introduction journalism class using after effects and literally the first techniques we learn are the ones legal eagle “stole”
I'm surprised that nobody talks about her shady sponsors. Now mind you, they're common sponsors and hey everybody's gotta eat, but what bugs me is that she acts like she puts herself on a huge moralistic pedastal and wants you to believe that she wouldn't sell us a product that she hasn't vetted first. Like, bruh that's shady as hell especially since her sponsors were Daily Harvest, Hello Fresh, and that one fashion subscription that has fast fashion clothing
Hey do you know what's shady about Hello Fresh ? I haven't tried it but loads of ytbers are promoting it
Hello Fresh seems to have dropped her following the drama. Not 100% sure if it's true but it was on their twitter
Don't forget that one more obscure sponsor that ended up being a literal loan shark company.
@@ViJay-jw3nc basically they're union busters and don't pay their employees liveable wages. When the union scandal hit the media, she didn't mention any of that and continued to support them. Like I get bills don't pay themselves, but like she is so uppity in her morals you would think she would choose sponsors that aren't blatantly shady
I actually used to enjoy listening to Illuminaughtii's vids, and binged almost all of them until i started to realize just how..much of a karen she is? Idk people that criticizes litterally everything cant be that good or trustowrthy of a person. I jsut got bad vibes, and hey, turns out i was right. She is a legit narcissist
Same. I stopped watching her not quite a year ago because I kept noticing patterns of character assassination over honestly some pretty menial sh*t. All the while breezing right past more serious claims. Her priorities were very odd. And god help you if your brother's cousin's nephew's former roommate owned a MAGA hat. That was just game over
Karen is a perfect word to describe her lol
She really does have that vibe and voice lMaO
THIS! I started cooling to her earlier this year because I was getting skeptical about the rate at which she was cranking out videos. I get that she has a team behind her, but I find it hard to believe that anyone can crank out deep-dive style reviews on businesses on such a tight turnaround and actually do the topic justice. To me, this indicates that you’re either not researching enough or you’re exaggerating.
I loved her MLM videos and her beaking down some major drama.. But I started to get really off vibes, I should go back and see what video did it, but I remember her saying something that just really disturbed me, I think it's cause she acts like everything is black and white, and she judged people for tiny things that aren't bad, just because she already hated them for something else? Felt weird yk
Illuminaughty used to make good content about exposing the true colors of corporations, but now she got expsoed committing plagiarism and called out Eagle Legal and The Click? That is, if a lack of better word, very naughty.
She didn't really create it though. She was a voice and face of the channel. She didn't edit. She didn't write. Her content was good because of her team not her
@@FukaiKokoro it's that part. She was a glorified voice actor. And not a good one either, because her pacing and pronunciation were routinely off. I have no issue with creators who have teams - I'm a big believer in "it takes a village," but at what point are you just claiming credit for literally everyone else's work?
Okay, to be fair, she didn't plagerise. She showed in her response video that she just was bad at showing sources. But she did do things infinatly worse, so that's not doing her any favors.
In a video about autism speaks (i watched it before I knew she was a terrible person and is the only video I’ve watched of hers) she said she is not autistic and cannot speak for the community.
I really do think that the issue she took with the fanart, was because of them drawing her character to be a bit more curvy. I really just can't help feeling that that was her real issue with it but it was just easier for her to get people on her side by saying what she did about it
Spot on. She was upset because the (imo very flattering and nicely done) art depicted her as bigger than she percieves herself. Having body image issues is terrible but lashing out at your fans over this is just mean. It was clearly not the artists intention to upset anyone. She could have reached out privately and told them she was uncomfortable. But not always reacting perfectly is excusable imo. Unlike the terrible stuff she pulled with the literal teenagers whos boss she was.
@@LieseLotte471kinda reminds me of how this one fan of a different KZheadr accidentally drew her skinnier (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt when they explained it was because they weren't quite skilled at the time but still wanted to show support) than what the KZheadr's weight actually is, and instead of talking to them about how the artwork upset her, she blasted them on her Tumblr page as if they'd done it deliberately to spite her
The fact that I’m 30 minutes in and only at Legal eagle actually scares me. I had no idea the drama runs this deep.
Ow it’s worse when you realize wonder was 19 when he moved into Blair like imagine if a male boss invited a 19 year old girl to live in his house, got them a car they controlled, and basically controlled their life. There was such a stupid power imbalance that am surprised more people arnt mentioning it.
@@dragb9284 very true!! thank you for saying this! a 19-year-old with no other job or place to live, and with behavioral issues too! it's very abusive behavior.

You missed one þing: she publicly accused rSlash of sub botting back when her channel was a Reddit channel. What was her evidence? rSlash growing fast when Reddit content was popular.
You are literally so cool I love that you used the thorn letter
As a non-english speaker I read it like PING and BING lol
Oh right, and she said something similar about Madison as well iirc
@@jordanobruno6851 FYI: Thorn is an archaic character meant to represent the two th sounds. When the printing press happened, the fonts didn't include a mold for thorn, so | y | was used as a replacement because it was considered the most similar.

@@Wwhdduendjdhhfmwosdn Yeah, they used it wrong. Literally so cool.
its so heartwarming to hear how much wonder cares about his dog, thats the absolute best thing to come from this entire situation
i kinda feel really bad for Oz, he was severely dragged into this and also extremely manipulated and considering Blaires behaviour, probably really hard to come out off :(
Her discord was a HUGE red flag.... it was clear that only certain people were welcome.
I actually got warned for using the word "Conspiritard" and now it feels so damn vindicating to see that Blair is a *MASSIVE* hypocrite in this regard.
@@KillinTime8 I mean idk any word with -tard as a root word seems warnable in a community but I still had my suspicions about her. She shouldn’t be so hypocritical
@@KillinTime8 what does conspiritard mean?
@@KillinTime8 That's justified tho...the root word is an ableist slur💀
@@goyang. I’ve never seen the word before but think about it. Conspiracy + R*t**d = Conspiritard.
Just wanted to say regarding the play button, Wonder’s boyfriend started a GoFundMe to raise funds to replace it. They’ve received enough to replace many of the items he lost in the repossession
Wonder has such an amazing boyfriend
Glad you talked about her call to the police cuz that was one of the parts of all this that made me so upset about to what ends Blair will go Not only she tried to make Wonder's low point about herself she actually put him on danger when he wasn't even near her to be perceived as a threat to her safety Really hoping this was just an act of her paranoia and not with outright malicious intent cuz she was about to take A LIFE to keep her facade and that makes me sick
exactly, that's just evil
I find it really ironic that she acted surprised when PETA blocked her but then would go around blocking people for associating with the wrong ppl lmao
I watched the Madison/Blair situation happen in real time back then, and started falling away from iiluminaughtii because the whole thing felt icky from her end and my instincts were right. Thank you for this breakdown as a whole and the Cruel World Happy Mind issue in particular as its given solid form to my feelings of it.
Same!!! I would not watch any of Blair's content for over a year and after that I watched a few but never subscribed because she left this foul taste in my mouth when she disrespected and humiliated Madison.
i used to watch her knowing she was gonna get caught up and THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME YESSSSSSS DRAMMAAAAAAA
the way she talked man idk u could just tell shes a hypocrite
@@gaylord263 tell me about it!!!! I think I've watched one of her videos a long time ago and she came across too preachy for my taste... just like Creepshow Art
Well the "wellness check" was more of an actual swatting rather than an actual wellness check, at least based on the report it was more like "there is a man that is armed with a gun and a danger to others". This can go very wrong indeed. I think wellness checks should be conducted by mental health professionals instead of police officers. Although i am usually not swayed by drama, i felt very icky when she used Wonders mental health as a talking point for her little "apology" video
Tbh the fanart situation seems more like Blair having self-image issues. When I look at the two pictures, the first looks like her character is thicker and more on the chubby side, while the second makes them look smaller and skinnier. The reason why she disapproved was because of this in my eyes. Admittedly, That's a stretch. I'll admit it😂 But I can't find any real reason why she would be so hateful over the first piece. Admittedly the hips were a main focus(Your eyes were drawn there first) but also....Its not really sexual and covers much more skin compared to the second drawing
I think her weight issues are pretty evident looking at the difference between her video sprites and how she looks irl
That’s how I saw it, which hey we all got our insecurities and body issues but this definitely wasn’t a proper way for her to go about it
I agree because of how she reacted to the "fat joke" that wasn't even directed towards her. I can see her being the type to cry "fat phobia" about any little thing & claim the victim card in a manipulative way
@Vixan Copeland Would also explain why she got SO mad about the fat joke as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't like fat jokes either, but I'd never let my personal opinion about my own appearance cause me to lash out at other people JUST because they made a joke that struck a little too close to home (and wasn't even directed at me in the first place..)
First image is pretty obviously meant to be a sexy pic instead of a fun beach fanart tbf.
I appreciate your points about calling her "Creepshow Art 2.0" very level-headed. Personally I'm sick of it because it feels like down-playing what Shannon did to Emily.
I dont think she should have used 2.0 when they were very similar
Yeah, like i get people's point But joking like this is really uncomfortable Compared to what Shannon did Blair is a saint. Of course she's not a good person, but what Shannon did was truly vile and repulsive. I also kinda feel like it's unfair to Blair, being called creepshow 2.0, because while their tactics are similar, their actions are on a whole different level. Not that Blair is a good person or anything, but her level of horrible just does not measure up to Shannon.
It's not when you see what Blair tried to do to ozz
The fact that I both got extremely bad vibes off of her and Creepshow's videos before any drama surfaced is so interesting to me. I had absolutely no reason to get those vibes but I just couldn't stand watching both of their videos and felt disgusted every time I tried. But then again, I loved James Somerton, so it's not like I'm a human lie detector. It just shows that every person has their own inner "that person is fake as hell" sense that is shaped by their experiences, and isn't applicable to every situation. But it's very cool that this sense is able to work even across the internet just by watching someone's videos.
@@ettaetta439 TBH she did give off bad vibes before anything came to the surface. It's the small things like the Cruel World, Happy Mind thing. Also the fact that she was the only woman in Sad Milk. And it's been shown she doesn't "play well" with women. Well I guess she doesn't "play well" with men either lol, but on her first controversy, the one where she deleted the videos with her face in, that project was also male dominated with her being the only woman. It's like stuff you cannot call someone a bad person for, but if anything, you can stop watching them because you do not owe any content creator your time/attention.
The wider community finally seeing what many who followed, and abandoned her because of her toxic behavior, were seeing, *a malignant narcissist.*
As a fan of TheClick and someone who used to watch some iilluminaughtii's videos, I've been glued to this drama these past few weeks, and this is genuinely the best summary of the whole ordeal I've come across. I like that you went out of your way to cover stuff even prior to the LegalEagle debacle
As someone who's suffered with mental health struggles made worse by a group of very similarly manipulative and toxic friends... Wonder's video broke my heart into a thousand little pieces. I'd fallen out of watching Blair's videos without ever having checked out Sad Milk, so I knew nothing about it, didn't know much about Wonder or Oz prior to this, but some of the things they claim Blair has done are absolutely vile. It sickens me that I ever gave her channel a second of my time and viewership. I hope she falls into obscurity. It's the least she deserves.
Honestly, same. The behavior of hers that got exposed heavily reminded me of some former "friends" that really messed me up mentally when I was a teen/tween.
If she hadn't gone apeshit over that issue with one of Legal Eagle's staff, NONE of this would ever see the light of day. She just had to be that "extra" during her apology - and with that - she ultimately fucked herself up by indirectly outing herself as a manipulative narcissist. If there's a reason why she's now silent on that topic, it's probably because her own legal counsel might have gotten through to her to shut up before she starts inserting that other foot inside her mouth. If I was the Wonderstruck Guy's legal counsel, they could pretty much use Blair's "iilluminaughtii exposed" video as more physical evidence against her. The fact that she exposed the Wonderstruck Guy's mental health issues in that video - especially as he WAS an employee when that issue took place. This means that Blair Zon is liable for a civil action invasion of privacy lawsuit as well. Under the suit, it would state: *"An employer that discloses private facts or lies about an employee may be held accountable in a civil action for invasion of privacy or defamation".* To be honest, I'm hoping Wonderstruck Guy and his legal counsel will do that as it provides more leverage for them because the release of private, CONFIDENTIAL information is basically an attack on him.
and the fact that she thought she could win a lawsuit over a stupid insult shows she is delusional and doesn't understand law
@Blacksands BAHaha- and you know who could probably help with offering some extra evidence for that case? Legal Eagle. 😆 OHHH the delicious irony and karma that would be.
@@namelessnavnls8060 I was literally thinking about how funny it would be for Wonder and Legal Eagle to team up legally against Blair. Like what she did with the car is grounds for a huge lawsuit on top of the employee stuff. She would be stupid to try and pursue anything legally against these poor people. /srs Petition for legal eagle to react to this entire situation and go through how many suable things Blaire did /j
Something I’ve noticed…. It’s pretty rare that someone can get to a level of popularity or success without being an awful person.
There's such this common theme of her being unable to go to people she has a problem (she's the source of the problem) with. Instead, she twists the stories and shares them to her viewers. Like, she could've simply talked to the person who had the decency to private message her about a possible copying problem, instead of twisting the story and running to her fans. Trashy. And I used to love her videos.
I genuinely feel so bad for that artist she sent her fans to attack, they really did not deserve that. really the best thing she couldve done is DM them and tell them she was uncomfortable with it & I'm sure they wouldve understood and take it down. makin a public post directed to them like that is just awful & unprofessional behavior, I hope that artist is doing okay now
I'm sorry.. what did I read?
@@cricketandgraham8644 A YT comment.
@@cricketandgraham8644 if you did not understand that at all, you didn't even watch the video, or English isn't your mother language and you JUST started to study it....
@Viaspiderz I can't comprehend being so petty and insecure and egotistical that you'd _attack your own fan artists_ over something they drew. It wasn't even pornographic or problematic. They legit just probably wanted to make her a nice, pretty piece of art that they thought she'd like.. That poor artist. I hope they got a lot of positive attention from all this as a complete middlefinger/backfire to Blair's original intent.
Gonna be honest from my experience with people who draw sexualized art of KZhead personas, they're usually insane. But it's not good when you see a contious pattern with her doing the same to other people as well with different situations.
It's the sickeningly sweet and "I'm a good person" types you gotta watch out for. Sadly, my former favorite KZheadrs are showing their true colors and it's deeply disappointing. 😔 Also I used to follow her because of the autism speaks stuff. As an autistic individual, this pains me. I unsubscribed from her channel. I support those that have been unfortunately harmed by her. 😔
Yup. Thou dost protest too much or whatever
I know how you feel bud
Same, iiluminaughtii and ThatCreepyReading are channels I liked until both became known as awful people
Is Blair worse because she pretended to be autistic on her fake account to attack click?
bUt FuRrY cRiNgE (i'm joking, don't worry)
I've been a fan of Illuminaughtii for a while. I have seen a few videos of her and all they really talked about were recent issues such as the Legal Eagle problem. I didn't think it was too much of a big deal and stayed a fan. This is the only video that took a deep dive into pretty much everything, everything I had no idea about. My eyes have been opened and no longer a fan. Thank you. TehMimi always does good and I appreciate it.
A small anecdote I think a lot of people forgot to is she also accused R/Slash, a big reddit youtuber, of faking his subscribers and stuff. Knowing what we do now about her not liking people who make reddit content and trying to push her friends away from it, it suddenly makes the targetting make a bit more sense.
lmao i used to watch her until I learned about the CWHM situation and I basically replaced Blair with CWHM. I'm so glad that Madison is doing well nowadays with her channel nowadays!
Yup, that was around the time I unsubbed. And after Blair posted on her community tab that she finally talked things out with Madison, I commented that I resubbed to Blair saying that I was happy that this was sorted out sooner rather than later. After that, Blair blocked me xD
i used to be subbed to her, but after learning about what happened, seeing everyone jumping in and exposing her for her abusive behaviour is SO satisfying
One of the things she says that pissed me off the most was when she said that Click should be held responsible for saying the r slur a decade ago because "those words were never in *my* vocabulary." Like, okay Blair, I'm sorry we didn't all come out of the womb spouting gospel, but some of us had grow and change to get to your level of perfection.
Things in this situation that made me ache: - click talking about how he realized Blair was stalking him and dragging him via an alt - wonder breaking over the fact Blair weaponized his mental health and forcibly opening up about his trauma - Wonder’s BF talking about how much he loves James - one topic being accused of anything malicious (that man is a national treasure and genuinely such a kind person) - one topic simply leaving after being yelled at - Oz seeming to be so used to this - oz talking about how he’s witnessed the fake tears - seeing people be nothing but kind to Blair and her being vindictive and snarky in return
I was a fan of hers and stopped being a fan after the incident revolving Casper when she first got him. For those who don't know she got her dog Casper and seems that she either got him from a bad breeder or a puppy mill. He was very very sick and seemed to have ignored a lot of his illness till almost too late. Than tried to laugh it off. Also the fact she had gotten Casper purely cause his breed was popular among KZheadrs at the time.
Yeah. It's okay to buy dogs literally just be responsible. Not that hard. Adopt don't shop kinda feels like a cult at this point. Especially being it's literally harder to adopt a dog or cat from these type of shelters than a human child. When you do shop again just use common sense. Visit the place and inspect. Most good breeders love to show you around. Also most good breeders have a lifetime return policy. So their animals don't end up in shelters and they can re-home that animal themselves.
@@FukaiKokoroBro you what?! Adopting a pet is harder than a kid?? Ur local shelter will practically throw them at u for 80$ all my dogs r adoptees and i will silently judge others for buying bred dogs when we have an overpopulation crisis, just my opinion tho ppl r always free to do what they want
@@FukaiKokoro you walnut, this is a crazy reply. Adopt don't shop isn't a cult, it's a realistic way to engage people about not getting a pet based on breed alone. Harder than a human child, my ass.
@@SweetDemoness Yeah, no, that's not reality in many (probably most) places. All dogs here are $300+ here (unless they're 10+ years old...) and they require a home visit, and all vets you've had in the last 10 years. They look at your interactions with said dog or cat and decide, due to their own opinion, whether you're a good fit or not... except that's not how adopting an animal works. You don't spend 5 minutes with it in front of strangers who are judging you and then suddenly your "compatibility" is set in stone. It's ridiculous. My coworker cannot adopt from them because they accused her of not treating her cat when it had a disease nearly a decade into the past when that wasn't even the case, it was that they treated her and she didn't survive treatment. Regardless she was blacklisted from that shelter. You have to let these people into your home and to prod into your history just so you can own an animal. They have a bunch of dogs and cats, and they are extremely picky about whom they let adopt from their shelter. And that's just the closest one to me. It is cheaper and FAR easier to just find someone locally who needs to rehome their dog. I have a huge apartment and the go-ahead from my landlord and they will still not let me adopt ANY dog because I don't have a fenced in back yard... but I have a massive park and walking trails all around my home that I frequent and a local dogpark for socialization (and other dogs in the apartment complex). I am more than active and have plenty of time to devote to a dog. (hell, I live alone so they'd be the only other breathing being here) Of course it's not as difficult as adopting a child, but it's still difficult as hell. Because of that I don't deal with shelters, I find people through social media and rescue them from even having to go to the shelter in the first place. I realize all (or even most) are probably not this picky and ridiculous, but enough shelters are that it's a turn off for many people. You can't tell people to "adopt" instead of "shop" and then make it next to impossible to match your outrageous standards. People are going to do what's easier and cheaper, and around here literally anything else is both of those things. Shelters are not always wholesome places looking out for the animals they house, in fact, they're prone to being under-staffed, under-funded, and many are rife with abuse whether intentional or not (mostly neglect). Fact of the matter is, even though I would never use a breeder, they have a reputation to uphold and know more about the breed that they are breeding and are more knowledgeable about how to take care of it and are more responsible than a shelter is. Ending this long-winded post, the point is that shelters are NOT the only way to adopt, and honestly, aren't always the best way. Whether you buy from shelters, rescue from people needing to get rid of their pet quickly due to life happening, or you purchase from a breeder, overpopulation will not stop.
That's horrible! I got a puppy from a bad breeder and he got very ill very quickly. But we immediately took him for help once we realized it wasn't normal. I can't imagine seeing an animal suffer and not act. Unless you were blind to it, but even then, you learn and feel horrible, not laugh it off!
It's sounds *very* much in character of Blair to make fun of someone's mental issues right after calling out someone else for making fun of mental issues
Honestly, props to all the male creators featured in this video for responding like gentlemen, taking full responsibility for their past mistakes and holding Blair accountable while maintaining the utmost class.
I'm sure we've all been around someone like this. I've just recently gotten out of a "frienship" like this and BOY a lot of this hits the nail on the head.
I can't wait to watch the video where illuminaughtii exposes the shady business practices of Illuminaughtii.
I think her “apology” vid is actually called “Illuminaughti exposed” lol
@@Squeeginaldlol ye
Haven’t watched Blair in years since the nicholas deorio and the cruel world happy mind things. Felt like it got swept under the rug bc so many people continued to support and watch her so its relieving to see it brought up. This is a pattern we shouldn’t ignore.
I still watch cruel mind, she still does entertaining deep dives. Blair i fell off of, because she was boring me.
It’s very strange that nothing came of that controversy. But now everyone is talking about this
It’s ironic how she used to laugh at others socialblade but now she’s the one being laughed at through socialblade (she lost 160K subscribers in the past month)
I watched three of the people that people have talked about in this: OneTopicAtATime, TheClick and Blair (her first, topic next then click). At first, I had no clue that topic and click KNEW Blair, let alone were friends or ran a channel together. I saw Blair’s video first, but didn’t think much of it, and thus, didn’t watch it. I’m devastated that 1. She went into EXTENSIVE stalking of Click for stuff he did when he was A DUMB TEENAGER 2. She showed massively disturbing content to One Topic involving someone on Click’s discord (NOT EVEN CLICK HIMSELF) and mistreated him when he did NOTHING WRONG 3. That she was such an unsafe person to be around that one of her other friends were BETTER. OFF. HOMELESS!!! People who make innocent(ish) content and are actually decent people don’t deserve to be treated shitty. Finding out that some of my favorite KZheadrs were treated unfairly is disappointed.
Oh wow you had the same viewer arc as I did. Except I lost interest in Blair at some point. I hadn't watched her in years when this LegalEagle thing started kicking off. Thing is I was there for the rSlash drama (when Blair called out rSlash for allegedly buying subs, it turned out to be false). Because of that I somehow I wasn't so shocked when Click first made his twitter thread. No I wasn't really shocked until I saw her video, where she accused mostly Click and Wonder. It was bad. It suddenly felt very wrong, and then when click came out with his video I started getting Creepshow Art vibes. That feeling only intensified when Wonder's video came out. But yeah you are right that it does feel more personal when the victims are people you "know". Especially when the perpetrator is someone you formerly trusted as well.
Not to mention Click isn't a native English speaker. It doesn't excuse the use of the word. But as a teenager who lived in non-english speaking country and still learning English, some words might not have the same implications and impacts for him as someone native who grew up speaking English and surrounded by native English speakers. It's all about learning and improving through mistakes and experiences. I think Click is around the same age as me and when I was a teenager (a non-native English speaker who live in Asia), the word being a slur wasn't a widespread knowledge yet. It funny how she never acknowledged that Click has apologized, and learnt from it and stopped using the word.
@@mahogara omg this is such an important point, I think! Click is fluent in English now, but he states he was still learning back then and to be completely fair, a lot of native speakers don’t understand the gravity of slurs when they’re teenagers. I watch Click (and OT) occasionally now, and Click is obviously very careful and respectful with his language now. He’s apologized, got better, and moved on. This is among the dumbest and more unfair examples of trying to dredge up drama I’ve seen on YT
@@leew.4987 the thing about English slurs (I think the idea of a "slur" doesn't even exist in many other languages...) when you're not native, even when you're fluent (maybe even especially if you're fluent) you wouldn't have learnt about them at school, the only way to come across them is usually just hanging around people using them and guessing the meaning from context (for example assuming r-slur is just slang word for "stupid"). Especially when you have reached some more fluent level you don't check each and every new word you come across, just get the meaning from how it is being used. There's also an issue of English native speakers who are aware of problems with those words often don't explain why you shouldn't use them (in some cases it is about a cultural context specific to a country) and have a very vicious reaction and assume you're the worst person in the world...
@@blairfujin I think that a lot of people, even native speakers probably make that kind of assumption when first hearing the R slur. I don’t think it’s fair to come down on someone so hard when they’re honestly ignorant of the context. English is probably super difficult just because of all the cultural rules surrounding it. I immigrated to another country (to teach ESL at first) and often think about all the times I probably said something rude in the native language. Luckily most people I’ve come across have been understanding, but it frustrates me how unempathetic native English speakers can be. As an American I hate how much we tend to assume that everyone knows and adheres to our rules and customs. :/
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Blair is delusional. The way she speaks and words things makes it vlear she thinks she's better than everyone. I honestly feel bad for Oz. He seems like a sweet guy that was just used as Blair's puppet.
I still can't believe adult people can be as vile and also juvenile as Blair is. She treats everything like a high school drama, like she's some sort of Regina George. It's beyond me that an adult woman can act like this.
Not even 10 minutes in and you’ve already mentioned an aspect of this story that I have never heard of! And I’ve watched quite a few videos on Blair. You’re the best!
Blair's ego got in her way. It is what it is.
Used to watch that KZheadr in a daily basis regardless the drama surrounding her. Never thought it would be this problematic but yeah... it is what it is. Very disappointed with her to be honest.
I found and watched her a couple years ago, then stopped. I found her again during winter and immediately thought she'd be cancelled for like a lot of past things. This whole drama just felt like "oh yeah, there it is."
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING CRUELWORLHAPPYMIND! Haven't finished the video yet (obviously since its only been up for 5 minutes) but I haven't heard anyone mentioning that situation yet. Everyone seems to think Blair's attitude came out of the blue, but a ton of the things she did to CruelWorldHappyMind is just being reflected in all these new accusations. She hasn't changed at all.
CWHM sounded hella reasonable.
The situation with Madison is what made me start to look critically at Blair. I hoped she would learn, but clearly she hasn't. Madison seems to be a well-meaning creator who was just trying to reach out to someone they looked up to/saw as a colleague and Blair took the situation and twisted it in a big way.
@@DeannaJacksonDJsDelectables Judging by her well researched, well considered, and very reasonable takes in her videos, she probably is reasonable.
YES that's when I first realized Blair sucks!
lots and ltos of videos covering the illuminaughtii situation are mentioning cruelworldhappymind! :D
The manipulation and isolation of someone who trusted her shook me on a personal level, I had a friend who did that exact same thing to me and have a lot of lasting trauma from my relationship with her. Learning a content creator I really liked and was excited to watch new videos from is really like that, I had to immediately unsubscribe. I know what it's like to be used and not realize it until everything all goes to hell and still feel bad about ever defending that person years later. I seriously hope everyone who was hurt in this situation will be all right now that this has all come out and they have been able to speak out. My heart really goes out to them.
Definitely hit close to home. My case is slightly different, but the isolation and being a fearful puppet... that was me. I'd preemptively tell off and cut off people I knew had "hurt her", and defend her. I hoped that if she caught wind of it, she would appreciate it... and she did. She is so good at lovebombing, it made it almost feel worth it. But if she perceived the slightest disloyalty (anything that was below 110%), BOY would that change her tone. I've never been made to feel so small in my life. If I started crying from it, that would make her even angrier a lot of the time. She said it was manipulative and made her feel bad, which was a crime because she was the one being wronged after all. How dare I start crying when she berated me, because it was me who made her mad in the first place! And now she had to feel cornered into comforting ME? What a monster I was. If I tried to apologise, that would make her angry as well, because that was useless to her. I tried to follow her own apology-template (how I'd seen her apologise in the past on rare occasions, or stories about when she had wronged someone) and ask if there was anything I could do to make her feel better... that would make her angry because I was putting the responsibility on her to fix what I did to her. I don't even know how I would get back in her good graces in those situations. I think I either rode it out or would join her narrative in how awful I was. I vaguely recall making empathetic sounds as she went on long tirades over how hurt she was by me. There was only one way to not be abused, and it was to join her against myself. Never explain or clarify anything. Never stick up for yourself. It was never worth it. She would hold on to every slight forever. She would become more irate and impatient, once telling me to just say "ok" and "admit" she was right instead of "making her" wear me down in a 3h skypecall. Yeah, it was my fault that we would have those long hour calls. She was sick of it. It built up so much rage in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't defend myself, though I sometimes tried. She was like... in her mid to late 30s while I was still only 23-25 years old and dealing with loneliness and depression. I'm in my mid 30s now and god, when I make friends with people under 25 I'm a little paranoid of being too dominant or condescending to them in any way... cus she would frequently use my youth against me. Because she was a lot older, she by default had higher credibility than I in our friendship. We spent every stinking day together over skype, sometimes 9h straight. For about 2 years, then were a bit more distanced the 3rd year... which was worse because she and I were in the same community and she still acted with the same entitlement and even more rage... just with a LOT less lovebombing inbetween. When that community disbanded we finally went our separate ways completely. Almost. We still had an insane email exchange by the time I was in my later 20s and I could finally stand up for myself. Years later, shockingly, she actually sent me an email apologising for how she treated me. I recognise how incredibly rare it is for anyone to get that kind of thing. I'm not looking yhat gift horse in the mouth, even though it's sometimes tempting to ask if she believes she was wrong in certain situations... because while she is a lot better at handling her rage, she still displays some tendencies she used to have. We're not in active contact except for a catch-up call every other year or so, and I'll be in the chat of some of her livestreams. Man I didnt plan on going that deeply into it 😂 I guess brain got sucked back into that period for a bit there and had to ride it til the end. But maybe it's a worthwhile read to someone who's been through something like that.
Since all this drama has come up because of Blair, I’ve since unfollowed/unsubscribed to her channel…. I can’t support someone like this…. Thanks for your coverage
I'm sorry, Mimi. My dad's in palliative care, and it's a lot of ups and downs. You have an understanding audience, take that time off to be a caregiver. It's the most powerful and intimate thing you can do for a loved one, and you're never the same after. Lots of love, and ofc the video itself was great haha
I have now watched more hours of Illuminatii getting exposed than I watched of her poorly researched videos
Your icon is weirdly familiar to me, like something I saw in a dream.
@@bloodyneptune Many are saying this
Honestly same
I have never heard of this person in my life and I’ve now watched exposé videos of them lmaooo
@@bloodyneptune it’s a sketch artist sketch of a criminal I think
Using "Triangle man" as a track for the chapters scene is absolutely hilarious and on point. I love this !
Playing devil’s advocate for the lewdenwaffle situation, I do think there is a difference between the two pieces shown. While lewd’s piece was not NSFW, it was clearly intended to be sexualized, the bikini piece wasn’t. The amount of skin shown isn’t the issue. That being said, Blair’s reaction was over the top. She leveraged her audience to drive a smaller creator off the internet when she could have just said “hey, that makes me uncomfy, can you take it down please”. They probably didn’t even know that she felt that way-I didn’t know that she felt that way until now and I’ve known plenty of people who aren’t comfortable with NSFW of their characters. Honestly just reflects the same thing that we see mirrored in the LegalEagle situation and others: she gets mad and goes on the offensive before even trying to come to a private resolution.
I've watched multiple videos on this situation, some that were a similar length to yours, but this is by far the most informative! You mentioned a lot of things that I hadn't even heard of in those other videos. Thank you for always doing such great research and making quality content. I am sorry about your family members, and praying for some peace for you all.
I was a subscriber to illuminaughtii since late 2019 until the controversy happened. I can't believe she became Creepshow Art 2.0.
It feels like she always has been and it’s only now coming to light
@@carnelianfox5010 Thats what I was going to say. It seems she always WAS like this. But its only now that its all coming out into the light. But Im sure having her placed in a position of authority and power over others and the "fame" from KZhead likely exasperated her personality flaws. You never know a person till you give them absolute authority over the lives of others.
@GamerLoggos wow That is a whole other rabbit hole I remember when that happened ! Poor emily artful !
Shannon at least has an abusive hasband, that makes sutiation a little bit understandable, but not forgivable. Blaire is just disgusting from start to finish, but survived only by a miracle and people's ignorance.
who's creepshow art
I feel so sorry for Oz media and Wonderstruck after watching this. They are wonderful people and did not deserve this.
Dude it so much worse when you realize wonder was 19 when this went down. I mean switch the genders imagine if a male 30’s had a 19 year old girl live in his house, controlled their car, and basically controlled their life. Serious red flags right?
I'm autistic and yes, hearing the r word hurts, but I'm also like Click in that English isn't my first language. I wish native English speakers understood that no, we don't learn about slurs in class. Some languages don't even have the concept of slurs, just bad words like shit or fuck. You'll either be lucky to have your first contact with a slur be someone on the internet explaining that it's a slur, or you'll have to learn through trial and error. He didn't know that word was that serious back then and when he knew about it he stopped using it, I don't know what more we can ask of him. Blair is infinitely more offensive for cosplaying an autistic person.
