update: me and alex have spoken and settled things but i will leave this up for clarification: alex’s statement below, mine below too:
So i’ve seen alex’s videos and obviously i need to clear up things as there seems to be very confusing lies and misinformation spread on my end. I posted a long instagram thread about this but ill put it all in a timeline here.s
Friendship Aspect with alex:
Now onto the messaging commentary channel things from his private side, this flat out is completely out of context and comes from one time where i urged a channel caution and care
As you can see it was a very confusing time but i was clearly trying to defuse the situation, at this point i had no idea on the true story bar leaked screenshots i had seen, but from this point it was progressively getting worse and worse.seeing leaked messages of alex calling alice horrible things, and then just more coming out. i contacted alex multiple times
my dealings with alex went back to the moment i found out about anything going on, we wanted to make sure this was handled properly and called alex multiple times
but in every instance alex did not share anything with us
but i did not leak things to that commentary channel, as you can see here:
i was urging caution, stating my story and how pretty much i did not want to say anything publicly and that i was in the same position as him as we were both very much in the dark.
in every instance i tried seeing a rebuttals or response to screenshots i got told there were screenshots but never was presented with ANY.
i was practically begging alex to send me screenshots for months and months and i think up until june when the situation was fully public with tiktok’s that had 700,000+ views he sent me pretty much nothing
the only thing after scouring through messages is this screenshot from june where he shows me two screenshots in which alice states he abused her and she reacted by slapping him once
alex claimed so many turns to us he had screenshots proving everything but he never sent it, and shortly after this the situation got even bigger with videos coming out and alex even responding to some of the things alex mentions in messages here. basically i has so many things against alex sent to me, and practically nothing defending him. yet i still remained quiet until all the videos came out (which i had no idea of) and a twitkonger too which has hundreds of screenshots vs alex who kept claiming he had stuff but nothing showed me anything. essentially i was in the dark on this and putting pieces together
but with the youtuber i “leaked” things to i told him to be cautious and even suggested reaching out to alex and alice for both their stories as i wanted this treated carefully
as you can see, i don’t think this is leaking anything, it’s more me trying my best to handle an explosive horrible situation.
after the stuff with this channel alex then messaged me explosively and angry, and look maybe he honestly thought i leaked things to that channel, and look i spoke to that channel about my own personal things later on but realistically in the context to what alex was discussing it was me trying to diffuse things and handle this all maturely as i didn’t want this to become a massive mess.
but i did contact alex throughout all of this when something came out, there were times where i did not respond when i was busy, on holiday etc. the first time things came out i believe i was in madeira
but as you can see i definitely tried
but throughout march-june alex did call us multiple times as we tried to work out what was going on but it was just “i have proof” but we couldn’t see any during any of it, and to an extent i get it but realistically when you have SO much against you, and you can’t give anything back.. it’s hard to deal with that. but i stayed silent until the very moment things came out
as you can see in may more of me trying to get screenshots
and then eventually everything went public, and more came out. the extent of what was in alex’s document i genuinely had no idea of. the videos i had zero clue of, and just how bad it seemed was truly sickening but even then before i made a statement i reached out to alex
these dms (above) were in group chats where multiple people were trying to work out what was going on, it wasn’t exactly the most private situation behind the scenes as basically the entire UK community seemingly were picking up on this stuff. It was becoming a complete mess.
As you can see i was angry. i felt lied to, especially after seeing 70+ pages contradicting everything this man said to me for ⅔ months. i was told a response was coming, it never did, and i did block him after this
Think about this, for three months you’ve seen screenshots, tiktok’s, everything about this and you’ve tried your best to resolve it privately and work out what is going on. And then it comes out and it’s even worse than you originally thought. I genuinely was in disbelief and admittedly was angry in my response to the situation and given how lied to i was i felt justified in that
even in some of our last ever messages alex’s even said he felt like he couldn’t talk to me
and then even after this he says he’s sorry for not telling these things
Basically it was all words, but even then barely any and me trying my best to resolve the situation privately. he even says hear he didn’t send me messages and i even say i don’t want to see him as an abuser
it is a truly horrible thing to deal with and i don’t think there’s any “good” way to deal with a situation like this
Now with the lawsuit stuff that comes after alex explosively messaged me and mentioned damages in the context to everything
naturally getting messages after a very sensitive and heated argument came off as posturing to me and threatening as well yeah it mentions evidence for damages
i even say i feel like these texts are gonna be used in court
and then a lawyer was also mentioned multiple times
i feel in context to everything anyone would feel threatened here, if i’m being honest i did feel like i was being silenced in a way. now alex will probably argue against that and this is just my personal feelings but i think given what he and i have said here it makes sense.
another thing to note is i said in my stories alex never spoke about his relationship with us, which is true. alex very rarely ever discussed alice and i was consistently under the impression he was happy until around january where they started making sad subtweets and posts about each other
he shows me discussing messages in april/march about his relationship, which confuses me as i’ve not been private about messaging alex during that time. my point about his relationship was the majority of it before this situation and the abuse stories i thought they were happy until around january when alex seemed a lot angrier and sad than usual but would never tell us anything so me and his other close friends were trying to find out if they had broken up so we can help a guy who mentally dis not seem in a good place at all, if anything he seemed to me at a low point.
in late 2023 they moved in together, they spent all their time together before that, they got a cat together, went to italy together, and just in general i firmly believed he was happy with her.. but mainly that comes from viewing stories and videos, and barely zero discussion outside of a few fleeting things heee and there and occasionally playing games with alice and alex
with the disliked content creator stuff im not really sure what to say about that, i think alex has been one of the most disliked content creators since 2019 and has faced a career of controversy since then, and my friendship with him resulted in me getting comments about being friends with a snake. It was something i brushed off as i seriously value loyalty in friendships and stuck by alex until 2024. if i was trying to benefit off him financially i would have just cut him off a long time ago. we had a very toxic friendship, we were extremely close 2019-2021 time, 2022 he made a new friendship group and i don’t class us really as friends anymore, we walked the dog together occasionally but honestly at that point it really felt like our friendship was over as we rarely saw each other in person anymore. and i think we both became very distant. i used to hang out with him so much, but an example of our distance is he moved into a new place with his new friends and i did not visit there once. we just weren’t friends for a bit, and then in mid 2023 we became very close again gaming everyday. and hanging out on discord so much more. this is around the time he supposedly fell out with his new friends. maybe alex felt like we were good friends throughout the whole thing and that’s fair, but to me when he got his new circle of friends i felt very distant. but again as i said, we did become close again in 2023 hence trying to discuss this situation with him for months.
honestly i think that does cover all bases here, realistically ive just tries to handle this situation the best i can from the beginning. i stayed silent publicly until this all blew up, and haven’t heard anything since 2024. to me i’ve done everything i can to handle this situation properly, but i don’t think there’s ever a perfect way to handle a situation like this. when it came out originally with alice’s side i saw things saying im still friends with alex, now it’s the
opposite of that. i hope the screenshots give context and understanding and i really hope you can see where ive come from in all of this
edit: i reached out to the channel about this situation with me leaking things to him and got confirmation i did not do this
Also I should clarify I have personally not leaked anything, i’ve gone looked through dms trying to find stuff even if i did and forgot bizarrely. But the majority of my conversations at the time are just groups of people trying to work out what’s going on, who is lying and how it can be solved. i believe the majority of people who knew about this stuff genuinely did care about what was going on and was trying to maturely deal with it, there were so many lies thrown around and things not being shown it was just driving us crazy. it was super difficult to navigate and i hope this clarifies everything
also as you can see here in late late january i fully thought they were still together hence mentioning her in memes, why would i do this if i thought they were not together
during this time i was trying to work out if they were together, they still lived together from what i thought but i mainly and with another close friend in the group were trying to work out if they’re together or not so we can be there for our friend who wasn’t saying anything. might seem a bit immature for sure but we realistically just wanted to know if they were okay
i’m here to speak on my behalf and no one else’s, i feel like this explains a lot. some things i said last year might have been emotional, but one thing i can promise is i absolutely was trying my best to listen to victims stories and what were the lies and what aren’t. i keep saying it but seriously this situation was just insanely difficult to navigate, it felt like i was putting together a puzzle of abuse as horrific as that sounds. im really sorry if it comes off as immature, but yeah things did get muddled and i have regrets but i can confidently say i stuck to my morals and tried to do my best working out truth and lies.
thanks for listening
