From Subliminal To Criminal - CreepShow Art's Story (Shannon)

creepshow art a name and a story that is almost inspirational to tell a story about a young homeless woman living out of her car and making it big through youtube in a way that would both allow her to

beloved commentators this was a dream a reward for a difficult life realized through this channel but even faster than it was propped up it was torn down but possibly the fastest subscriber lost percentage-wise seen on any youtube channel this all began with a conspiracy that she may have been leaking crater secrets through a popular online form which was then amplified by serious allegations that she and her significant other had been terrorizing a woman for over eight years the quaker piled on and the louder the voices grew against her the matter she became of the past that was never supposed to be known which was exposed by a community that she helped create and inspire to show how it unraveled and eventually led her to writing a 112 page document we will go through the rise and fall of creepshow art [Music] this video is brought to you by manscape.com the global brand for men's grooming and hygiene products but as you can see in the back of there on my bed manscape sent me

reason being is that there are several deleted videos made prior to this one that play a significant role in her channel's development luckily for us a playlist exists containing some of these deleted videos looking through these gives us an idea of the content that popularized your channel which are story time videos a familiar format that was popular at the time with well-known content creators like tanemojo and gabby hannah raking in millions of views per video talking about personal events and their lives told from a germanicized perspective the twist or what made crypto arts videos different was the narration of the story time was done over footage of her drawing while this exact style of video initially titled sketchbook story time was different from the popular story time variants it had already been done by another channel going by the name of emily artful dating as far as two years back so the genre nor the name was truly unique to creepshow art however that's not to say that the video's contents were not significantly different one at least the context around these surroundings is more telling in creepshow arts video as the table seen in the background seemingly change this color or even texture throughout every story time while a simple explanation could be that she is using different surfaces around her house an accurate explanation is that at this point in time creepshow art or shannon was homeless and these tables are either from starbucks taco bell or her local library all primary areas that allowed a comfortable environment and a place with both wi-fi and outlets to charge her devices to expand on this process or the way she'd make these videos we will need to also go through the way she was making it through life at least in her words after dropping out of college and later leaving a job due to a customer assaulting her her parents pushed her to move out of their house which then her and her then boyfriend made the pre-planned decision to leave their hometown of san jose for portland up north they knew that they would be living out of the cars until they could find some stability through work this issue became much more apparent when they realized that they just exchanged one city with a high cost of living to another of a similar status it should be noted that jobs were a bit harder to get as they are now especially in oregon that allows employers to deny applicants based on their credit history and being that shannon had debt and terrible credit history these jobs did not come easy even trying to get them was quite expensive as some charged application fees of around fifty dollars so you will need to get a job to apply to other half decent jobs and whenever you got rejected from an application not only did you lose your time but you also lost what little money you had with the worst of this coming when on a single day she was rejected from four jobs which as she claims she paid for all four applications meaning she lost around 200 and one day through this at a point where money did not come easy because some aspects with being homeless are significantly more expensive than actually having a home food came from pre-packaged meals from walmart or inexpensive fast food restaurants like taco bell water came from bottled water or three cups of water supplied by places like starbucks optimally you'd have a fridge or pantry that could store cheaper or bulkier foods but that isn't always an option when living out of a car for hygiene she took advantage of a gym membership that allowed access to showers and because gas was and still is expensive it was not feasible to charge her car by leaving it running that's where a high-end jump starter kit that she got from her job working at a storage facility came in with some of these kits you can plug them into an outlet let it charge take it back to your car and charge your car but they also come with usb ports and outlets within themselves so through this jump starter kit not only was she able to charge her car she was also able to keep her phone and laptop charged for three days straight with these living arrangements there weren't many options when it came to how she could record these videos so to break down the process she would record herself drawing at one of the aforementioned locations record the narration through her phone typically recorded in her car and then uploaded whenever she returned to starbucks considering this and that it was the earliest form of her current day content there is no arguing that these videos are very weak not so much in the technical side as she did extremely well with what she had available to her but rather in the storytelling side where she could draw out an event where she fell in a gym shower and exposed herself to a stranger into an 18 minute long video repeating and prolonging events framing it in a very negative or embarrassing way as for the storytelling she was a novice in the field and it's hardly an easy thing to tell or know how to format a story to strangers which is why her videos are littered with constant pauses shared with the dead error that came with it something else mostly unique to her content is the way she opened these videos usually had a heavy inflection on i i i i or her unique phrases like human person as her content progressed some of these aspects improved but others never changed maybe her lack of speaking in a formal manner and accepting these quirks made her even more relatable to her viewers that constantly reflected that sentiment in her comment section a comment section that would often also discuss her drawing process as for the framing of these situations sifting through several videos can give us an idea of how shannon perceives the world as we learn she is a stubborn [ __ ] as that is exactly what she calls herself i am the most stubborn person in the [ __ ] world we also learned that she wasn't the most popular person in school as that was a focal point for many of her early story time videos that also went in depth with how she was bullied and mentions of getting into fights it could have been this alongside other negative events that took place in her life that made her an outwardly neurotic person as she also says that she is a lazy glutton that loves attention and hates being around people i am a lazy glutton who loves attention but hates being around people she also considers herself as not a good person but this could also be the spice that allowed her videos to excel as negative stories are typically more impactful than positive ones but a big aspect about story time videos is that they usually only perform well when the story is extremely absurd or it is being told by an established figure neither of those fit creepshow's videos and a big part of starting a channel is having that initial audience to watch your videos to help them get into the algorithm which is where pewdiepie comes in but not in the way you would expect you see creepshow art during the time she was creating these story times also did a quick fan art of pewdiepie and posted it on our instagram that's when suki pewdiepie's wife's clothing brand took note of the fan art and reposted it to their page crediting creepshow art in the post this gave creep shows instagram a boost in followers which is when she took the opportunity to shout out her youtube channel for all her new followers to see which gave her well over 100 subscribers now with this initial viewer base growth was going to be much easier especially combined with her constantly watching her own videos on repeat to possibly get them pushed more into the algorithm and this eventually paid off with a different type of story time video titled tumblr hates artists she starts the story with her ties with tumblr stating that beyond running a page that had 2 000 followers centered around the jonas brothers she also had her own page that was much less popular where she posted her art she goes on to say that her art was constantly ridiculed by sjws and snowflakes as she describes them to her this was a sort of gatekeeping that was happening as when she would post her art on there these people would flood the comments attacking her art by saying she was trying to capitalize on the lgbt community or when she drew a person of color they would criticize her on being white and trying to capitalize on drawing a race that she didn't understand because it wasn't her own it didn't take long before this video surpassed 200 000 views and also encouraged an increase in subscribers surpassing 1 000 shortly after it was uploaded which according to shannon was a very bittersweet moment because that same day she was approached by a police officer that requested that she move her car from a business's parking lot a typical event in her life made more significant now when contrasted with such an achievement regardless the success of this video did more than give her a boost in views or a boost in subs it gave her a clear pathway to success as these videos heavy with conflict had a significantly better pacing than one of her story time videos maybe the anger or passion to share a story about a well-known site that frustrated her allowed her to speak with an interest that equally captivated her audience but there is more to it her personal stories at times were just that personal but when she discussed a controversial topic or figure in her videos and made it that much more accessible to an audience hoping to learn more about any witch situation this is commentary and there is no shortage of channels in this genre with many channels taking inspiration from one another a large inspiration for her was the then not banned leafyishere who gained millions of subscribers and dollars alike through talking about various events and videos that inspired many clones that try to do the same thing the grander difference is that creepshow art attracted a more feminine audience that was in between the audience of a commentary channel like leafy and a t-channel which is a genre on youtube where it's taking a bit more of an emotional and biased approach these channels at least current day are looked upon with a bit of disdain from creators in the commentary community as many of them have been called out for their lack of research by talking about controversies at face value regardless it didn't take long for there to be another significant change in content now instead of a bird's eye view of her drawing on a table the footage was now of r being created digitally from what seems to be an ipad which would grow to be a staple of her and many other channels this can be seen as an investment towards her content and a goal to improve but in her personal life she had another goal that would change her life entirely and to do this alongside youtube and her current job she had to get another job but once achieved with the various sources of income her and her boyfriend were finally able to afford an apartment in what seems to be less than a year since she began uploading her commentary videos which as some creators typically maintain a schedule her uploads could be described as sporadic sometimes uploading twice a week or several times back to back so her upload schedule may purely be determined by her motivation and what drama was popular at the time but even more inconsistent were the amount of views her videos were getting some got twelve thousand then forty thousand then two hundred thousand then twenty thousand again though it's not very strong it does again solidify two things her viewers had very little interest in her how-to videos or other experimental content like this animation that performed poorly at least when put alongside her other videos the other thing this inconsistency shows us is that she was able to bring many new viewers that would later turn into subscribers around this time as typically even your worst performing video is able to hit a minimum threshold or at least your views would be able to see a more of a static average that could normalize the amount of views that you were getting but the variety of dramas and topics she talked about hit various different parts of the algorithm bringing in new subscribers that may have followed her for many different topics though this is bad if you want consistency and stability in your channel multiple lores cast in different pawns meant that she was catching different viewers from different genres and because so many new people were introduced to her this way her channel grew faster than your typical channel would so about a year since she uploaded her sketchbook story time videos she was already at 76 000 subscribers and nine months later by the end of 2019 she about doubled that at 150 000 sitting this year as one where she successfully integrated into the youtube environment and took on many common activities in that field like having sponsorships and having both positive and negative interactions with other channels interactions like disapproving of channels that were usually in a negative spotlight at the time she made her video or collaborating with channels on and off her channel there was also a little bit of giving back to the community initially this was done by creep of the week a segment where at the end of the video she showcased a selected artist creations mainly seen in videos in 2018 but in 2019 this was taken to a whole new level that could equally benefit her and other artists gas would you ever start showing people's fan art at the end of your videos oh [ __ ] now i'm using their speedpaints in their videos so you want to see your speedpaint in one of my videos or your anything any video you want to play under my [ __ ] voice uh send me an email at creepshow videos gmail.com instead of her doing the art in her videos sometimes she'd have fans send her footage other digital speedpaints and have that used as the base of many videos so she was able to streamline her content more by not needing to draw and in exchange these artists would get some exposure some may view this as lazy but some may view this as efficient still not all her content was improving at least in the traditional sense as her audio was getting noticeably worse which is strange enough because this was after she was investing money into a microphone specifically the blue snowball microphone as seen per her video's description maybe it was that she just wasn't close enough to the microphone itself while one could argue that she didn't care about the audio quality and the microphone was more convenient than using her phone to record audio then why would she later invest hundreds of dollars into a road procaster where even then the audio quality is poor and actually when she was homeless recording on an iphone in her car that audio sounds leaks better than practically any of the videos on her channel hey [ __ ] it's shannon what trisha did back then was kind of everything come to me and ask me a youtuber to insert myself but if anything this drop in quality just shows how unimportant it was it does not matter what footage she was using or how her audio quality was degrading it matters that her storytelling and pacing of these commentaries dramas or beefs that she was intertwined with were getting easier to follow as her channel was growing so jumping into 2020 after experimenting with various topics there was a noticeable stabilization of topics and consistency of views as her channel developed into topics that were popular with t channels where it was popular to discuss figures like onision social repose jeffree star davi vanity shane dawson james charles blair white and many other controversial figures that had overlapping viewer bases like other channels that discussed these figures shannon was not exempt from getting some key details wrong when researching these stories there was also a small but growing sentiment in her community displeased at her approaching some of these situations more emotionally than before or even now these storytelling seem to go down in quality specifically in terms of accuracy compiling some of these complaints spread across shannon's videos was toby a small channel that had previously made a video critiquing shannon's video where she talked about content creator jaclyn hill's estranged father who was a public figure in the form of a minister and poked fun of him while also connecting potential personality traits between the two the problem came with lines like this this is insane to me and it's even more insane to me that jaclyn despite being apparently estranged from him since about 2012 has never mentioned this she has talked about her and her family and how they used to travel to africa and she traveled so much when she was younger and she's talked about how they went there like nine times but never once never once had she talked about doing it because her father convinced a group of people in africa that he was god and could cure them of any disease like aids she never said that ever and i wonder why i wonder if it's like oh that man probably taught you to lie shannon criticizing jacqueline for never bringing up her strange father when talking about her life had many criticizing shannon for not fully grasping what it meant to be estranged toby's video titled my issue with creepshow arts jaclyn hill video don't hate me uw-woo released on march 22nd 2020 dissecting this point and many other smaller ones in shannon's video and it performed well so a little over two months later toby released another video on june 9th 2020 titled the faults of creepshow art many of the points discussed in this video are mostly based on shannon not fully and or and properly researching her topics along with the way she handled some controversial aspects of them as toby claims this was done not purely to showcase shannon's weak points but rather to bring notice to a pattern that could be soon playing your content not unlike what many t channels are known for we'll quickly skim through these criticisms by breaking them down to five points four of which are focused on videos number one shannon previously covered and announced an artist who was known for drawing sexual imagery of minors but in order to get support to flag the content shannon linked the artist's post in her description which even though her intention was to direct viewers to flag it no matter the intention she was still linking that content in a description which some saw as immoral number two during a situation where two well-known drag queens shared what they presume to be real sex messages that implicated a content creator that shannon was in favor of shannon covered this situation but instead of sexting messages she grossly misspoke and said that there were also nudes of a minor involved which there wasn't one called out on twitter directly she denied that she said such a thing only to have her saying that exact thing thrown back at her number 3 jaclyn hill which we already discussed so number 4 mislabeling a previous anti-vaxxer that she was having a feud with as a current anti-vaxx defender and finally number five was toby worrying that this could become a pattern and that shannon needs to not change for the worst and do her best to research her topics her content and how she behaves and reacts to people online has increasingly gotten more defensive more childish more petty and significantly more emotionally driven without any control over what she says or what she does and it's extremely negligent and it's not okay every single comment you don't like you don't need to respond you need to learn when to leave things alone and when things need to be addressed you have a very impressionable audience shannon and what you say and how you react to things does matter you also need to start scripting your videos and take more time for them to come out not just popping one out every other day a day later shannon responded to toby's video with her own video titled acknowledging my faults which received mixed reactions from her audience while shannon accepts that she made a mistake linking her viewers to sexualized art of minors even though the intention in doing so was to have it reported she also accepts and agrees that she's going to do better when it came to the misinformation she was spreading about those two drag queens that only shared sex and not nudes about an alleged minor she also shared a similar reaction with the jaclyn video but also defended herself on points that were not even argued regardless she removed three out of the four videos where these issues arose from though a bigger issue with this video was a misinterpretation or how some viewers saw it as deflecting on point five more toby says she doesn't want to see shannon change and become lazy with her content or become more emotional with it in a way that foregoes research and welcomes misinformation and angry responses to those that she disagrees with but shannon took this criticism a different way however i do not and do not want to go back to the person i was when i made those videos because i was having panic attacks every night in my car hurting myself and there's so much more that i i can't i can't go back to that person and i just wanted to say that right now because in this video which isn't wrong by the way i'm not trying to do anything like in this video there are a couple of times where toby says that they liked how i used to be and they liked the older content that i made and that i should go back to doing that and the issue is that i don't i don't like it and i just want to say that now that i'm not going to be going back to that because i'm not that same person when toby said that she didn't want to see her change shannon understood this as a request to revert to the person she was the year prior where she says she was in a much worse place and is not willing to become that person again though the criticisms were targeting her getting lazier in the researching process and not truly how she changed in her personal life this was something that was echoed through the comments section of her video and it wouldn't be the last time shannon was accused of what some would consider to be deflection but unlike this drama the next one was extremely convoluted because as it progressed more and more creators got involved creating their own dramas that were separate entities that could be tied to a point of origin to this main one surrounding toby which is the person that made the faults of creep show video toby now was being criticized for liking shane dawson along with other media points then other content creators jumped in to criticize those criticizing toby creating another layer and another layer after this one and many more that i possibly didn't account for but to keep the story simple and easier to follow we'll focus on the layers surrounding shannon or creepshow art or at least how she was roped into all this and that starts from content creator prisonmate luke who was in opposition of toby and other content creators joined the fray like hopeless peaches a content creator that was also in the art community that had taken opposition to creepshow art in the past and also had some points in defense of toby though out of this 23 minute video president make luke released on november 6 2020 the most impactful part at least now was a about two minute long section talking about hopeless peaches here is that section who commented was hopeless peaches who also decided to put herself into the drama despite constantly saying how she doesn't want to be in it and would just never leave it alone and when people like thummin called her out for a terrible and biased behavior she made a community post about how she wasn't friends with toby which i didn't actually know she wasn't friends with toby because she did everything in her power to defend her and fail a fight omni is so much that i thought she was because why go through all that hassle for someone you apparently don't even care about well you say are you going to be taking a break from the drama and comments and all that which is fine if you need a break you need one i'm not saying you don't have mental health problems but you would constantly come back to post more things than beg for sympathy and when you were getting genuine criticism for all the garbage you've done you decided to suicide bait your audience going off the grid for hours to make your audience worried that you're hurt or killed yourself and guess what two days later you are back to making treats again and she's been doing this for a long time it's very manipulative and she's always using her mental health as a pity me card which is funny since she called out toby for doing the same thing it's very scummy and it says a lot about her as a person like how little do you have to care about your audience to do that to them and when you don't want to deal with the criticism you say your mental health is acting up again and how you're going to get away from social media but when it goes away you come right back to it it's scummy and your audience deserves better while it wasn't initially noticed by a large portion of viewers this section had a severe accusation against hopeless peaches which also dangerously assumed the intent with a very controversial topic luke assumed the intent that hopeless peaches jumped into this drama but was unable to take the backlash and faked her feelings about ending her life or at least had some evidence of that as speeches jumped back to tweeting soon after she posted that goodbye tweet which worried her fans and is something that she later apologized for regardless what luke failed to consider is that this drama and her mental health issues were two events that were not intertwined and that peaches according to her and her friends the night of that tweet was very close to ending her life which was something luke did not know but now it was too late out of all the points he made in this video and videos prior this is the one that would now stand out the most this is when peaches took to her community section on youtube to address these accusations and also to twitter where she dm luke directly and because this situation was becoming a larger problem due to luke's initial video talking about peaches he made another one this time with the focus being only on peaches in this video he covered a variety of things peaches had done like subtweet creep show art and soft blocker along with other unfavorable things to someone she used to be friends with and that is how creepshow was dragged into all this to provide some more context behind the history of creepshow and peaches peaches was a fan of creepshow when she was first starting out and when they came into contact through twitter dms creepshow held peaches in many ways like giving her a video slot on creepshow's channel to promote her own but shortly after they had a falling out due to peach's subtweeting creepshow soft blocking her and privately dming her about a video she did not like of hers which then soured their relationship but this was never extremely public at least not in the level it was going to be as both creepshow and another large content creator who had a falling out with peaches both commented on this video and so a pseudo alliance was formed in opposition to peaches more just five days after luke's first video directly aimed at peaches creepshire released hers titled hopeless peaches needs to stop released on december 7th 2020. this video eventually got nearly a million views and with other videos coming out against peaches this no doubt affected the like to dislike ratio a peach's response that was posted the following day a response that peaches herself after evaluating it found it to be flawed which is why she deleted the video this causing almost no initial backlash towards creepshow but this alongside other events were creating divides in the community these divides are not something to fear if you're a respected or influential member within the community but if you're not or at least made many enemies that fear speaking out against you it can be quite dangerous to misstep or create any opening that will allow these creators to pull the rug from under you and if they're trying to optimally you want to get in front of the controversy and address whatever arguments they have against you before they do and that can be in part attributed to audience retention or level of investment in time that the audience needs or is willing to put in to understand a situation we can apply this to a 38-page document that was created in the fans of hope's peaches that shannon responded to on february 3rd 2021 the first 19 pages address luke and his three major videos mentioning peaches the following 15 pages are about shannon and her videos against peaches and the last three bring up another creator involved in the mix known as camila cuevas along with a conclusion to the document reading this document while every now and then returning to some material referenced in the document took about two hours so any which person may be faster or slower when going through this document but if you're looking to read this document and also watch all the content mentioned within it that was directly involving peaches that will tack on another 3 hours not counting the videos made after the release of this document or any other videos surrounding toby's controversies that is around a 5 hour time investment that is streamlined to focus on hopeless speeches and the more time it takes the more likely a key piece of information will be missed due to human error that's also a lot to ask for not just the viewer but the many content creators covering this situation but even if you did understand it well there are many pieces of the puzzle missing there are also inflamed biases on both sides creepshot on luke's video against peaches runs with a false narrative that peaches is a liar and backstabber amongst other things as for the document it was made by other content creators with the intention to give a fair look into peach's perspective but due to its nature it also has many biases but it is still more fair than the side of creep shows and a massive part about both sides is that there are many areas that can be seen as miscommunication and also both sides lack many screenshots for their claims but this is again mostly on creepshow side another issue is both sides make extreme accusations or apply labels to each other that fails to consider the other's intent with again the majority of these accusations coming from shannon herself misconstruing or extending the truth and reframing events much more often than others the grander difference is that peach's side of the story or at least the document acknowledges many of their faults and wrongdoings when handling the situation but really most of these extreme accusations leveled at one another do not matter except for one and that was luke's accusation that peaches was simply debating when she was talking about ending her life and at this point it should be made clear that in no place and in no form at least not made public shannon has defended this part of luke's argument and that many other content creators not relevant to this video have done arguably worse things to peaches but creepshow is typically remembered as the worst due to a much larger following and about 10 months ago since the release of this video luke himself has left a comment apologizing for these claims but because luke and shannon were in a sort of alliance against peaches these claims of sympathy baiting are for some also shannon's responsibility to denounce because she didn't acknowledge it and refute it but then again she did not reinforce it creepshow tried to step in front of the document with this video and it worked as this video was initially well received with 10 000 likes and 104 dislikes but that was mostly from her core audience that will support her through most scenarios once peaches released her video adding more information to the situation showing how negatively creepshow and others framed her along with other videos coming out against creepshow around a month-long window and it reaching viewers that were not part of her core audience meant that the dislikes began to power on and the light dislike ratio lowered to 84 percent but this was about the peak of creepshow's hatred and beyond other small dramas she was involved in unlike a situation involving another content creator known as hello liege who was feuding with content creator gabby hannah and without any true opposition there was a large promise of growth but also lingering feeling that her content was getting more and more lazy which is a very dangerous concoction when combined with this growth because if you're a smaller channel your claims hold less weight not only due to your possible inexperience but also because your videos are most likely reaching a smaller audience there is less responsibility to hold if your claims are not widespread but the inverse was the crisis that creepshow was facing there would have to be a massive change in our content an effort to get stories accurate or the backlash was going to be larger than the peachy situation or toby's video highlighting her lack of research but it wasn't that there was something larger stewing that opened pandora's box a repainting and retelling of shannon's character through accusations leveled against her these so egregious that there was a period where they were too serious to be taken as real but there were too many pieces that fell perfectly into place then now it seems too serious for these accusations to be considered improbable this is the downfall of shannon one that we cannot only pinpoint the month but also the day hour minute and second and all deriving from this post on lol cal on june 2nd 2021 at 7 23 pm and 19 seconds posted by an administrator of the site that says quote as many users in this thread are aware shannon's posts on local haven't exactly been subtle we've decided to compile their post history after she escalated her behavior by sharing her sister's social media in order to deflect from criticism towards herself beyond that she has been anonymously promoting her videos and patreon slash youtube membership to farmers and making posts about herself to either white knight or insult herself for many years we've had a policy to reveal post histories of users who go to great lengths to use lol count off farm to propel their own online presence you can read the full post history here unquote before we look into the archive of creepshow's post we'll quickly go over what local is locale like kiwi farms 4chan and many others are generally looked down upon websites where users usually post anonymously these sites typically have a forum format and are split into many threads about different subjects what log count specializes in like the name suggests are molecules or a public figure that is easy to annoy or harass and readily gives a response to negative attention doing so repeatedly is known as milking a locale the definition can change and be more vaguely applied to any public figure like creepshow art and actually this admin post can be found on a thread about shannon herself that she was already allegedly posting on anonymously this thread though it is one of many talking about creepshow art was only about 8 months old at the time but shannon's post history can be traced back to her first archive post dating back to november 30th 2018 and now for the legitimacy of these posts as mentioned by the admin if it is creepshow she broke three and possibly more roles of the website depending on any which perspective but won't focus on the confirmed three which are these three number eight do not attempt to use local.farm for attention or profit number nine do not deceptively post about yourself in the third person for any reason and number 10 do not advertise rules 8 9 and 10 were broken several times by her but all of them can be pinned on one post where she posts about her own video that is only available for channel members which means it is locked behind a paywall and can be both considered for profit and advertisement which breaks rules 8 and 10 and because she's posting about herself in the third person it also breaks rule 9. the admins also mentioned that shannon invaded her sister's privacy by sharing a previously unknown social media account which is a form of doxing but it is important to keep in mind that this is coming from a website that holds almost nothing but criticisms and often seeks to troll people but also in the past this website has called down other figures successfully for doing the same thing shannon allegedly was shannon's response to this on the community post section of her channel was strange to say the least few lines matter in this wall of text except this one that mentions two key pieces of information first is that she confirms that her ip address was used to access locale but it is according to shannon being spoofed by amy a name used by her as an alias for an alleged stalker that she has made several videos on shannon claims that this amy person has been terrorizing her for over 10 years but the longhouse system admin however did not take kindly to this and divulged that it was not just based on her ip but it was also based on her other devices used the admins or rather a singular system admin may have bridged her identity by seeing her consistency of passwords though local is anonymous there is an option to input a password to delete your own post and some of this information is saved locally on chrome and on your computer and with this they can possibly link post to each other but still not the person with 100 accuracy something else that may have allegedly helped is that the ip they have stored moved in relation to where shannon moved so they could have also aligned that with her timeline moving from different areas like portland to vegas this is to say that it would become increasingly more difficult to spoof her ip as shannon's alleged stalker would have had to hack the isp itself which is unlikely or hacked her wifi which is also unlikely even the most technically proficient stalker would have a difficulty pulling all this off which makes it that much more believable that it was shannon but even if this was dismissed there is still more evidence that points to shannon posting these 292 posts on local but before we get to that we'll focus on the community reaction initially or at least for the first day this archival post went unnoticed with much attention being directed to what shannon claims to be a hacking of her account but all these alleged hackers did was change the background and profile picture to an equally harmless one and privated some items because of the lack of impact and no hacker coming out to lay claim to this attack the community consensus is that she faked this hacking to hide information herself but it didn't take long for the focus to now shift towards the local leaks when on june 4th a tweet showing some of these posts started garnering attention this and the aforementioned lengthy and almost readily pre-prepared statement that shannon released consisting of 1185 words brought on more suspicion as her statement could have been just a few sentences that denied the entire thing but if at any point in the future her ip was grabbed through different means the local administrators could verify that they are the same maybe they already did so so that is a fear without right denying it but if she comes out as the author of this post she will of course receive flack so this is a middle ground between acceptance that it is her ip with the denial that it was her by deflection to a alleged stalker in doing so shannon is attempting to shift the narrative that she was the perpetrator to her now being the victim and as for the local posts themselves they are somewhat contradictory to the character that is creepshow art while there are some posts that do align with her well like where she describes the income of a content creator her size claims to be a smaller content creator in the art community and both praises and knocks herself down in third person that is not our focus with these posts our focus is that creepshow art stands as a supporter of the lgbtq plus community but in these posts uses slurs against them namely the f and the t word but it doesn't stop there as she also insults content creators that she's supposedly cordial with like implying that edwin generations is a closeted homosexual pinning ready to glare in a negative light and saying that d'angelo wallace is that content creator everyone pretends to like though no one really does then two weeks later after this exact post she releases a video joking that she hates him but says that she truly likes him and are actually good friends and also calls him a soldier and a stallion in the description there are many other examples of these contradictions in these posts as well as leaking information that was shared to her by other content creators and confidence that we won't delve into the major takeaway of all this is that while many might not see posting on local as a problem it's how contradictory and frankly two-faced she was in this pose that many take issue with while internet personalities can differ how they are in their private lives it is important to carry the same beliefs and ideologies on both sides or your intent will usually be perceived in the worst way possible and your credibility will plummet as there will be little trust in what you say and now that this side of shannon was exposed we can now apply it to the drama with hopeless peaches and expand on some of the accusations as just a few days after all this information came out on june 11 2021 hopeless peaches released a video titled speaking up against creepshow art this is not okay this video reframing a lot of what transpired between the two creators over the past year and she found within these posts that shannon most likely had the intention to have a group of creators share her narrative and take peaches down months before any of this drama transpired that you made right after you dismissed my criticism but you deleted your twitter the day you started slandering me anyway back to the messages 10th of march 2020 okay so peaches is just a snake creature even put her on a channel what the hell she's so over dramatic she's making csa look good replies to herself saying so let me get this straight this girl goes around befriending youtubers rips off their content says exactly what they say in less interesting ways and then after that person puts them on their channel and asks their followers to follow this clone she turns into a [ __ ] what a [ __ ] cow i want to figure out who else she's done this to because of how she talks it can't just be shannon this is disgusting again since this is of march of last year unless your stalker amy knew you were going to gather a group of people who hate me to expose me this seems very fishy there's also a later posting when discussing another content creator where shannon allegedly says quote anyone else find it weird that whenever these people are called out they say they are going to kill themselves unquote this pose can also be in relation to what hopeless peaches was accused of peaches also goes into the emails that were exchanged between her and shannon which are about her sharing private messages with the group that made that 38-page document in defense of peaches but in shannon's video addressing the document back in february of 2021 confidently claims that because these instagram messages were shared and somewhere within those messages shannon shared her private number with peaches she concludes that everyone who worked on the document must have seen her private phone number which is accusing peaches of doxing but also not giving any proper thought to how easy it is to block out any private information in any given screenshot and the reality was only two screenshots of those instagram messages were shared none of which containing shannon's phone number after peaches called her out on this shannon then leaves a comment below on her videos saying that she never said peaches doxter and though she is correct and the way she never said the word docs she does manipulate the situation by misquoting the part of the video where she's accusing peaches of doxxing by saying she said that if the people who made the document had access to the full dms which i assume since they are comfortable speaking on what exactly was said in them then they have seen my phone number but in the video she actually says this if the people who have these screenshots literally scrolled up which i cannot do because once again peaches blocked me after she realized i had access to this conversation and she didn't want that you would see her literally falsely accusing another youtuber that being what the what again of flagging her account and causing her to be unable to make money and be unable to support herself i would love to see this document talk about the false accusations she leveled at him seeing as apparently they have access to the entire conversation but i guess not um it also makes me feel entirely weird that all of these people have seen my private phone number so that's fun i love that we are on page 29 now her comment frames it as an assumption when she was called out while in the video she is confident that she was doxed this is all to show how heavily shannon tries to frame things in her favor and goes as far to say now that it's even worse that only two screenshots were shared and not the entire conversation beyond the framing there is also the dangerous part of sharing such a lie of peaches doxxing her as viewers maybe less than one percent of this your base may be unhinged and go off on this false boxing allegation to actually dox peaches besides that there is more to peach's video that provides further proof that it is shannon making these posts on local for that we'll have to give attention to this dm that wasn't made public until much later and when they were still on friendly terms to explain this dm peaches contacted creve show saying that she felt that her video on content creator pk russell was boulding like keeping in mind that these dms were private this person on locale that shannon claims is her alleged stalker says only five days since the dms this anyway she replies with i've become slightly intrigued by this so here's what i can tell peaches got mad at shannon a month or so ago because shannon made a video on pk russell where she said his criticism of husband hotel didn't matter and that the people who criticized him were nitpicking it's obvious she didn't watch the videos because she's lazy she publicly said shannon was being rude and didn't do enough research but shannon apologized publicly and somehow was praised for it by those she offended then this month shannon does this jacqueline hill video and she starts posting about being disappointed in her idol and saying [ __ ] like she's mudslinging all while not tagging her idol shannon shannon seems unbothered or simply doesn't notice because she's redacted and posts that women's day post about how they are friends and she's like a mini me this causes peaches to freak out and follow her on both her private account and public account and starts talking [ __ ] about her shannon notices and seems upset but doesn't do anything with this there is now much information that directly opposes creepshow's claims that it is her stalker doing all this and this inability to take responsibility as previously mentioned destroys her credibility and because this post was also tied to her stalker it brings into question if she ever had one if she can lie about this what other things has she fabricated and for what reason would she lie about something as serious as having a stalker to that is where we get into a new wave of accusations that if proved true would make her a criminal this is where we get into the most discussed content creator of these low count leaks who besides shannon is the earliest mentioned content creator that shannon discussed on local that really doesn't say much until six days after the leak emily posted on twitter claiming that shannon is dating her ex-boyfriend and together they have stalked harassed and threatened her and her children's lives alongside using revenge pee against her and her previous drug addiction against her as well to get her fired from her job emily's proof to this is whenever she traced her stalker's information back to them and led to an ip where shannon was located she also says she has three phones and three laptops worth of evidence documenting much of this over the course of the last 10 years or so with these damning claims getting much traction on twitter she was pressured into her in the production with her video on shannon creepshow has always been this way is a two hour long video that released just four days after that large initial tweet against shannon hi everyone i'm emily if you're not familiar with who i am i have been making art content here on youtube for the past six years for the majority of those six years and several years prior i had been facing stalking harassment and threats from one very recognizable source there is no doubt that aspects of the video are a bit drawn out and the organization isn't optimal but this is dismissed as she was detailing a long event that caused her much trauma with the video that was developed in a four-day window a large feat that gained an equal amount of traction that rewrites shannon's story as we know it and this begins in 2010 also for the sake of brevity we won't go too in depth with this video though it is highly encouraged that you view it yourself to start this timeline this was before emily or shannon had a youtube channel as it takes place in 2010 during this time emily was abusing both prescription and illegal drugs and was overall a very toxic person she was working as a gay musician in san jose where she met anthony and the two had a very toxic relationship emily goes on to describe what kind of person anthony was back then as beyond the toxicity of the relationship emily claims he would often punch holes in walls talk about donning black trench coats with a friend and paying his old high school a visit with weaponry and also talks about an event when she was high and immobile anthony was over and took advantage of the situation which means he effectively r-worded her then they broke up at a later point though for a while they did have a small flame going back and forth before it was broken off entirely and replaced with a professional relationship for work purposes a key point is when they broke up emily went to anthony's work to see him which is also where shannon worked a person she really didn't know at the time so with that we know that shannon was now dating emily's ex but emily being the last and favorable person she was while shannon and anthony were dating anthony sent over a track that she was working on to emily where she ridiculed the woman's vocals that were already on it convincing anthony to replace that spot with herself is shannon's and i say man that girl's voice is weak it doesn't sound good on the track my voice would sound so much better super catty super [ __ ] and super insecure immature there's a million words i could use for what i said about it so i put shannon down to raise myself up and i i believe in doing that that is what set off set off this chain of events the stalking the harassment the the threats so i made that comment after this event she began getting demeaning messages across her social medias but also strangely enough an increase in facebook friend requests from strangers to volume in them something else i noticed kind of uh retroactively uh was that i was receiving a lot of facebook friend requests from people that i didn't know but i would have like a handful of mutual friends with so i would of course accept these requests and these were coming from andrew now they ended up phishing me and locking me out of that original facebook account now i had had that original facebook account since i was a minor since facebook came out and hidden in the messages of that account were some compromising photographs now most of them were of me as an adult but unfortunately there were a few of me as a miner and i tried to express that to my stalker several times but they just disregarded it and said that i was a liar which was infuriating and um deeply upsetting and traumatizing and what did they do with these photographs well they went ahead and put them into a photo bucket account as well as some other photographs from a website that i was on at this point i was doing um some webcaming um not exactly something that i was doing um of my own free will a lot of that wasn't but that's not andrew and shannon's fault but they compiled a bunch of photographs inappropriate photographs of me in this photo bucket account and just taunted me with them and um i didn't really have control of much i tried to get a regular job and um andrew and potentially shannon found out about this regular job and decided to email my job and send them a compromising video of myself they they posed as a client said i'm a regular client you've lost my business because look at your you know disgusting human being of a receptionist um now i am going to try and get in touch with this job to confirm that they did fire me because they received this email looks like they've had a change in business name but i think that um that will be a very important receipt so i'm really going to try hard to get that any time i had control of my life in any way they would try desperately to take it away from me i have tried to turn my emotions off this whole time but i can't hear they wanted me they wanted me destroyed any good thing that i could have they they wanted it destroyed and anytime i saw that light they would snuff out that light so [ __ ] fast and that is not even the worst of it i'm gonna compose myself and come back so after this happened i i went into a really dark downward spiral there was a lot um that was very difficult for me uh that i had to overcome pretty much completely on my own but then once i did overcome it i ended up meeting someone moving in with them and getting a different job and again you know andrew and potentially maybe shannon uh did everything they could to try to find out where i was working for some reason they knew it was at a restaurant a specific type of restaurant so they literally like copied exactly one of my friends facebook accounts took the the about information all of their pictures and made this other facebook account and acted like oop my facebook got deleted emily like can you add me again and my dumb ass was like okay and so oh my god i just i want to scream at my past self but i accepted the friend request and then of course they post hey does anybody know of any really cool this specific type of cuisine restaurants in this specific location and at that point i'm like you are not my friend and so i blocked them i knew right away that they were trying to find out where i worked from this point onward we get into emily's channel within the timeline specifically three years after its establishment in reference this video my video that you're watching right now began documenting shannon in 2015 so at this point in time in 2018 she was on year three of being homeless and while she created her channel shortly after emily's channel in 2016 she really began posting in 2018 so that is the year that we're currently at and also when emily becomes aware of another art channel known as creepshowart and notices that she also labels her videos as sketchbook story times and wanting to protect the title of her series she reached out to her it wasn't like this much larger channel i was still quite a small channel so when i approached her and i sent her a private message i was perfectly polite i didn't want to feel like i was like coming in here and trying to intimidate her to get her to change her series name hi shannon my name is emily and i have a channel on youtube called emily artful it's been brought to my attention that you have a series with the exact same name as a series i created three years ago called sketchbook story time i'm going to guess this was most likely 100 by accidents or by coincidence but i put my heart and soul into my series and i'd really really appreciate if you were able to change the name of your story time videos you are completely within your right not to as it's your channel and you can do with it as you please but from one artist to another i hope you'll understand how it can hurt my business i love your art and it's obvious you're very talented you've got an incredibly unique style i've never seen anything like it i hope you understand my requests and i hope you don't think i'm angry things like this happen all the time i figure it's just a coincidence thank you emily and shannon responded sorry man i watched lehman raptor on youtube and she has a series titled the same name and she gave me a go-ahead i'll just label them as story time since that's all it is but i appreciate you letting me know your concern looking into it there are quite a few accounts using the same name for similar series kind of like get ready for me for beauty youtubers almost i think at the very least you might have started a trend which is commendable sorry i made you uncomfortable in any way my dude that was the first interaction between emily and creepshow who she didn't know was shannon at the time on the topic of emily's channel in the past she was getting tweets from anthony directly claiming she was buying views on a video that performed well and at the same time she was getting the same style of accusations directly from an account called non-viral emily that was established purely to her answer remember after anthony was tweeting at me accusing me of buying subscribers only moments later did a sock puppet account accuse me of the same thing nobody else did just anthony and the sock puppet account and you can see that i was reacting to both of them at very similar times because like i said i responded to that sock puppet account at 8 59 pm and then privately messaged anthony at 9 30 p.m on that same day i just find it oddly suspicious that anthony just decides out of the blue to go looking for me a week and a half within the first time one of my videos quote unquote blow up because now i'm second jewels are so i say why and then they say i have prolonged fits of daydreaming at times just this really and i know it may not seem scary to some people but to me this is so messed up i 100 believe that this person was in my city looking for me so that they could kill me of these receipts so unfortunately yes some of this is hearsay but i also have a [ __ ] ton of proof that andrew and shannon are behind this speaking of which let's move on to snapchat one day i just received a completely random snapchat photograph of what looked like a specific square in the city that i lived in with some nonsensical text overlaid on top i don't have the initial snapchat because i just kind of froze in panic but i do have the response to that snapchat i wrote are you in my city and kilgore trout is the name that they chose this time and they said somewhere i suppose in its labyrinth and then you can see i started typing back you are [ __ ] insane now i'm sorry for the ableist language i was using here i was just i was so freaked out you guys have no idea the level of fear that i had in this moment i was 100 convinced that this person andrew or shannon or whoever was in my city and they were going to hurt me you can see i said answer me you drove all the way here and they said i don't have a driver's license yet my parents drove me here horrifying fast forward a year again i had followed creep show art on instagram scrolling through instagram one day and i noticed a drawing that resembles andrew because andrew had a very specific look to him and i was like oh he he who drew this what a cowinkie dink crepe show art i read the caption and it says something about working with and she tags andrew and my [ __ ] heart falls out my ass what's interesting though is at that point um i didn't accuse shannon right away i was actually if anything i was concerned about shannon here and after a few snapchats sent back and forth about a cryptic and almost troll-like messages emily lets the supposed anthony know that she is aware he is dating shannon or creepshow art i want to backtrack a little bit and talk about how i said i had undeniable proof that andrew was the person stalking me that he clicked a link and i was able to trace his ip because this was the first time that i had done that now after the twitter incident where andrew accused me of supposedly buying subs i was very suspicious that my stalker up until that point had been andrew so i laid out a trap where i sent one of these profiles um a link uh pretending to be another like separate hater of mine and on that link i attached an ip tracker and because we had mutual friends i knew exactly where andrew and shannon lived so i sent over the bait he clicked on the link and wouldn't you know it the ip address took me directly to where they were living what's interesting is back when my facebook account was hacked i wasn't aware that andrew was doing any of this right um but facebook had sent me um an email basically saying um here is where the unknown login came from the ip address pointed to the city where andrew was from and where he resided in at the time and after everything i consulted with the lawyer i went back to the police i even hired a private investigator for a short time to do some digging i one ran out of money and two was advised by the lawyer not to take this to court that it would be a lengthy court battle and it's not like justice will be served because it's really hard to prove that shannon and andrew ran all those sock puppet accounts because there was so many of them and i fully acknowledged that probably not all of those comments were coming from andrew and shannon but when you've been stalked as long as i have you can detect your stalker's language to the point where i could start to differentiate the voices between andrew and shannon and what's really interesting is it was definitely andrew in the beginning like i really think andrew just roped shannon into this mean girl obsession with me and shannon kind of became the mastermind over time i could see the transition from andrew into shannon now whereas andrew was more kind of threatening and domineering not that shannon wasn't not that shannon didn't love to make vague threats against me um shannon was more catty and mean girl at this point in the timeline it is believed that some breadcrumbs are laid out for the possibility that chen would be outed as emily stalker because she made it clear that she knew about anthony an example this is when a twitter account named britafilter contacted emily claiming that their younger brother who was now being moved to a facility to receive treatment was responsible for stalking emily all these years and did things such as hacker facebook and saved those illicit pictures but as these messages continued they were a bit too specific along with there being very strange aspects to the story a strange aspect is that this account claims her brother was 15 at the time these messages were sent in 2018 but emily's facebook was finished in 2013. so her brother would have to have been 10 years old and known not only how to fish her facebook and contact her place of employment to get her fired her brother would also have to have the same ips shannon along with it changing consistently to where she moved that's when emily asked for a video chat or something to link this to a real person as this was all too specific but according to emily the account never provided such a thing besides this account shannon also posted on our instagram story in relation to emily possibly in an attempt to separate herself from any future claims as when receiving requests for her to collaborate with emily she both denies the possibility of a collaboration and brings up her stalker that interestingly enough mimics what she has been allegedly doing to emily another what is considered to be a breadcrumb is when she made a lengthy video talking about her stalker amy shannon's post reads the people linking me to emily artful's video i've seen it and no it wasn't me play shaggy in background i've said multiple times that i won't collaborate with other youtubers because i don't enjoy the implications people get from it even if this isn't what the person is thinking at the time collaborating with someone is a business move you gain from that partnership and i never want to be in a position where someone thinks i owe my following money and success because of someone else that's gross also less exciting and something i might open up more about but for about 12 years now i've been harassed online by the girl who catfishes me i know it's her because she ended up admitting to it last year when i called her out on it saying it was because she was stressed and didn't have another outlet for it also she felt betrayed because i stopped responding to her emails after a while because of her harassing me my boyfriend my friends and sometimes going as far as to try to get me fired i don't trust people very easily online isn't that a kawinki dink that right there is the most passive aggressive [ __ ] i have ever read and is also one of the many breadcrumbs that she started leaving behind that she had a quote-unquote stalker named amy i think it's funny that she picked the name amy i think she deliberately picked a name that was very close to mine so that if i ever came out with allegations she could be like see i even chose amy because it sounds like emily and of course she picked all the things that she did to me so then i couldn't even come out if i wanted to because then it would seem like i was copying her instead of her copying me being fed up with this and the breadcrumbs emily finally decides to confront her is it andrew we can be canada now because i know it's one of you those fake accounts you've been making have led me right to oregon i suspected it was him at first when he went on a spree on his main account on twitter trying to convince my followers i bought my subscribers and my views almost immediately after he did that a mysterious new twitter account accused me of the same thing also with an ip from that area in oregon when i first started to get harassed you both must still have been in san jose because that ip came from somewhere in san jose but at the time i had no idea who it was but now over time in order to protect myself and my family i decided to get smarter so i just really don't know if it's you or him either way i've been giving all this information to the police including the more accurate ip from that lily singh account all i ask is to be left alone by you and your boyfriend it's been eight years i also forgot to mention that i baited that lily sing account into clicking a link with an ip tracker that led me straight to their new location because they had had since moved now interestingly enough one of the ips that i had tracked to where they had lived before was from a library from here shannon takes a similar tactic she used with hopeless peaches by claiming the thing was happening to her and other content creators but fails to mention any other content creator thus not providing any evidence which helps her at times lie or ban the truth at her will besides that she was also saying that she was getting similar treatment by her stalker claiming that her stalker did a similar thing by photoshopping shannon's face onto a cam girl for the purpose of trying to convince her mom that she was camming but with all this shannon never provides any evidence as she previously mentioned she deleted every email when contacting her stalker and though emily within these messages claims that she's hiring a pi and attempting to get a restraining order against shannon and anthony she later decides against that decision as maybe after this confrontation it would end and conveniently the number of threats dms and random comments according to emily plummeted after this confrontation fine shannon it's hard enough going through what you went through and we're both more than happy and willing to sign something that says we will not contact you again in any form ever again and back at you i'm happy this helps and happy this made you feel at least a little bit better it was never my intention to make you feel any which way but i understand where you're coming from and why you did never feel like you have to apologize for that and i said thank you so much good night and that was it after that conversation with shannon i never received another threat or taunt again and that to me just further solidified in my mind that my stalker was shannon and andrew that was the summary of emily's two hour long video a video that two weeks after posting hit around three million views that's more than two hundred thousand views a day on average but with this video's views going up creep show subscribers and video views were going down an interesting aspect about the negative video views is that that happens whenever you private unlist or delete a video two million views worth of videos removed from a channel on the day the local leaks were posted it was only two days after they were posted that anyone was truly aware of them so it is a fascinating coincidence that all these videos were hit from the public eye before most people knew about the accusations with more videos following suit in the coming days some more related to her alleged stalker amy and also removed was a video talking about how she approves of the criticisms she receives from locale but other videos had no relation to anything being discussed in recent time the more impactful thing was not the loss in views but the amount of subscribers she was bleeding this was an exodus that began shortly after the vlog leaks were outed starting at the loss of 1000 a day which is alarming enough then peaking at 8 000 a day until emily's video was released that number jumped up to above 10 000 where just two weeks after the long cal leaks were brought to light creep show had already lost 100 000 subs or one fifth of our subscriber base with more on the way this was not just the result of the local post or emily's video but the many content creators coming out against creepshow at the time as it happens with most cancellings this had people with both high association creepshow and those who hardly had any interaction with her jumping on the trend to give their peace or opinion of the cancelled creator a byproduct of so much information coming out is there is typically little motivation to vet all information as with these other accusations coming out it is understood that if creepshow could have stalked emily for several years then she is capable of much more another allegation that got a decent amount of traction was a 22 tweet-long twitter thread of user cultergeist who met shannon during their freshman year of college in 2011 where they corroborated that shannon was stalking emily through the time that they knew her another twitter thread that focused on shannon was shannon's sister the very same twitter account that was docked by the local post before being privated and later deleted shannon's sister didn't ask me anything for the various questions that were being tossed at her parallel to the tweet's archival and the wayback machine are screenshots users saved of the tweets one user going as far as to archive some of them in a google drive many of these are not too relevant to us but this one is in where she further backs the accusations that shannon was heavily harassing someone several years back through multiple accounts as for the content creators coming out about their experiences with shannon many were being pressured and pestered by viewers to make a video coming out against her mostly because of their association with her this is something that is echoed in many videos discussing shannon at this time as many delay talking about her for a variety of reasons the most reoccurring seems to be that they want to wait until some of the dust settled because these allegations were so damning and in relation to that there were many creators that shannon never insulted through locale and might have genuinely cared for so it was difficult for many to come out with their experiences against shannon as they had to pin this negative side of her with the positive one they experienced some creators like ready to glare initially came out in her defense but retracted her claims after severe backlash and after looking further into the situation but before shannon cut contact with creators by changing a private number and disabling her instagram account on an instagram story she was claiming to leave the internet and come back when she was able to prove that she was innocent without a shadow of a doubt doing so by legal means also saying that she realized what a lot of what she thought were friendships were not as she was seeing many content creators she once supported now opposing her but also to many conte creators in private she was asking them not to defend her and not to become attached to the situation as many content creators and viewers alike wanted to believe this was not her insane this ended up in another back and forth which led her to telling me to just forget her and not associate with her to prevent people from attacking me online and frankly that pissed me off because i was already being attacked online over her that made me overall just really done with the situation which i told her and i let her know she had my number if she needed anything but i was done with it after i later found out that tipster had asked her the same thing and shannon told him essentially she didn't trust he wouldn't leak the information despite them being friends i don't regret bowing out when i did like just alarm bells were ringing what she told me is that she didn't want me or anyone else defending her now a lot of people are comparing this to the john swan situation and while there is lying to friends faces involved this is a little bit different than john swan and i'll tell you why john swann lied to our faces and allowed us to go out on a limb and defend him so when it inevitably came out that he was lying uh it all blew up in our faces and we all caught [ __ ] for it creep shows a little bit different creepshow is openly telling us do not defend me now i take two things from this statement one i think she knows she's lying and that's why she doesn't want us to defend her because she knows that we will catch [ __ ] uh if we defend her and the truth eventually comes out right but the other thing i take from this is that she saw what happened in the john swan situation she saw that we got [ __ ] for defending john and even though she's lying to our faces as our friends she actually does care about us a little bit and so she's telling us not to defend her because she knows the truth is going to come out eventually as for her intention she could have been requesting this as if the content creators were to defend her they would get much flack which she wanted to avoid them going through that is the more positive perspective though the negative one suggests that she is guilty and knows her actions are irredeemable so if she were to have these content creators fall in her place then it would look even worse on her if she admitted to being guilty of these actions and while she stayed true to her word that she went imposed she didn't do so publicly but she did reactivate her instagram account to respond to tipster a new style content creator who prior to this event had association with her to provide more context anthony shannon's husband youtube channel was discovered which is when he deleted all the content off the channel and changed the name to alan wake where tipster posted a question in the discussion tab asking why did you delete all your videos and rename the channel this is a question that tipster posed in july but that's when now in august creepshow seemingly broke her streak of silence to respond to tipster on instagram a little over two weeks after he tried to reach out to her again to hear her side of the story which is when she responded and accused tipster of perpetuating these accusations against her boyfriend that he r-worded emily look at it this is the youtube channel which was later like after this controversy kind of went down um they removed all the content from the channel and then on top of that they rename the channel and so i simply asked in the comments why did you delete all your videos and rename the channel that's it that's that's all i said this is back in july 17 so this was like a day or two after they reactivated their instagram and i said i don't know if you're reading messages here and yes i have been publicly critical of you and stand by what i said but i'm still here if you need to talk and initially i didn't get a response uh from that so i just kind of like i figured i'd wait like a day or two and see like do i get a response here and uh i didn't get a response so i just kind of assumed like okay they're not reading dms or if they're reading dms they're not responding to them whatever no big deal but i got a response last night or rather this morning at 1 11 am you want to talk you want me to talk to you after you commented on my husband's channel because of a provably false accusation really you thought that was smart okay that sounds like a very serious claim to make about me makes it seem like not only did i leave a comment on their husband's channel but it was like a horrible one right though tipster explains that he only discussed and labeled them as accusations but she also accuses him of going after her husband publicly when all tips or did is pose a question that got a little traction which amongst other things like saying that there is obvious evidence clearing his name when there is none this is a tactic she used in opposition against hopeless peaches and emily but this entire exchange shows how defensive she is when it comes to her husband and while the momentum and motivation to discuss creep shows slowed down discussion of her still persisted especially when leaked audio logs where shannon says that gabby hannah is bad at manipulating came out my issue with gabby is she is not good at being manipulative at all some viewers took this as since creepshow was saying gabby hannah is bad at manipulating shannon might know how to properly manipulate but it could also just very well be an observation though now due to everything coming out most commentators and viewers had an ever souring opinion of creepshow during the same month emily made a follow-up video on august 21st 2021 titled creepshow art did not work alone a large part of this follow-up is proving the legitimacy of the dms showcased in a previous video via showing them on their phone and scrolling through them as it would be more difficult to fake such screenshots with this new proven layer this video mostly showed additional archive screenshots between her and anthony along with further proof that links him to being her stalker nothing too major but it did hammer the point that the focus should not be entirely on shannon and on the same note and after this the focus around shannon seemed to have died down with videos discussing her popping up every now and then there was not much to keep the momentum going as she still hadn't come back to posting or uploading videos with her last video uploaded on june 6 which was not in relation to any of the ongoing drama that was until december which was four months after emily's most recent video where on new year's eve shannon uploaded an about two and a half long video titled the lies of emily artful parentheses with evidence this was based on a 90 page document she wrote up and looking at this video it is typical for a video made after a scandal to have larger ratio of dislikes to likes but it is rare to find a video that performed as poorly as shannon's receiving 71 000 dislikes and only 2 300 likes this video failed terribly in many respects at most it helped prove that shannon nor anthony was behind the snapchat user kilgore trout that sent emily random snapchats about a mind-bending thumb bending video as it was discovered that many other creators were receiving such messages sourced to a video attempting to go viral via these cryptic and bothersome messages but the thing is many of shannon's claims were not substantiated like claiming that she wasn't involved in making emily lose her job an example of this weak linkage is as follows shannon says it couldn't have been them that got emily fired from her job because she wasn't camming at the time and there were videos of her nude around the internet their soul source to prove that she wasn't camming around this time is a twitter account that tweeted for a period in 2014 and with that they somehow have an absolute certainty that it was not probable that emily could have later established this twitter for her cameo account and just had to establish it alongside it shannon seems certain in her videos but emily is cautious when making these claims and does often say that they were possibly not involved in much of the harassment in her own original video as it's difficult to verify that many of these accounts had any involvement with anthony or shannon beyond speculation emily is also open about her past where by her own words she was a terrible person that did terrible things but has improved upon herself and that's a large part of shannon's new video what should have been a video focusing on disproving the local allegations and proving that amy exists instead this is a video that dedicates about two hours to emily's past dating all the way back from middle school and is attempting to make emily an uncredible figure now for her actions 16 years ago words of 18 people of abusing her in her life including her own parents she later retracted most of these claims and now states they're all loving in her first db r profile under the name gothic kazooie which is clearly her as seen in this picture emily talks about stalking her teacher in various posts something she admits to doing in her video uploaded in 2016 titled my seventh grade flip flue fun fact i had a [ __ ] huge crush on my teacher it's just embarrassing and shameful so you'll see him randomly in here in the video she says that this was harmless however it was clearly not she makes a fan character out of her teacher who she named gizmo takes photos of him without knowing which he then states he told her to delete calls him sexy states she loves him draws him sexually and after feeling upset by him being cool towards her post a journal in which she says he quote emotionally her for not returning her feelings and though she developed this video after six months with what seems to be with her partner which may have divulged and helped with the history of emily many question how she got such detailed information that does not pertain to her current character as for the other 30 minutes that can be chopped up to 10 minutes of old random videos talking about emily in a bathtub which is how she may have gotten fired from her job about two minutes dedicated to amy where she only shows random emails from 2006 as proof of her existence and 10 minutes where she talks about the eroded relationship with her and her sister and how her sister is lying as she never wants to see her again in any capacity as well as her ex-friend from college that backed up emily's claims that shannon was stalking her that seems to be shannon's strategy throughout the video it was to discredit those attacking her rather to focus on the actual allegations against her as she attempted to draw parallels with emily's past actions and how she would accuse others and make her out to be a sort of serial accuser as for the last nine minutes or so those can be dedicated to other ramblings that only brought on more opposition against her like the last minute of the video where she both attacks tipster while addressing what she meant when she said don't defend me and also attacking her fans for reaching out to her is for him tipster said that if i was able to prove that i didn't do what i was being accused of that he would apologize to me and to that i say [ __ ] you you disgusting person you maliciously attacked my husband because you yourself couldn't scroll down far enough on emily's instagram and find the multiple posts that debunk her story that are still live you you're a journalist but you just couldn't do that there is a reason your content gets fewer and fewer views than everyone else in the youtube commentary community and you keep being beat out by everyone else and that's because it's terrible lazy and reductive you should rename your channel secondhand news because you can't be [ __ ] to actually research anything before you open your ugly mouth you watch someone else's video and you say what they said worse than they said it you aren't a reporter you're not a journalist you're a joke just know that you are a terrible person and you can take that forgiveness and just [ __ ] it just [ __ ] that forgiveness right off you are just as bad as emily if not worse for supporting a mob with no evidence while claiming to do all this research and claiming to care about your friends or anything i talked to you so many times and you once cried on stream saying if shannon was in trouble she would tell me not to defend her because she's a good person and when i told you not to do that you were like well that's sign she's guilty even though there's evidence to say i'm not and no evidence to say i am to the people who reached out who said i don't care if you did it i left still love your content don't leave youtube i love you um you're weird don't don't say that to me ever [ __ ] again do not reach out to me ever again that is not comforting i spent all my time trying to help victims of what i was actually accused of and to be told that my audience doesn't care about that insane um to the people who told me to kill myself um better luck next time thanks for playing and to everyone else go touch some [ __ ] graphs i am done i'm [ __ ] done even worse was the description of this video the first sentence sending an aggressive tone with i want to thank my legal team family and no one else she goes on to call everyone lazy and uses the description to exhibit the same behavior of her alleged local pose by divulging greater secrets repsion who was previously confident in his video that shannon didn't leak what he told her in confidence may have been surprised to see that shannon now did so directly in her description now for the community reaction many took shannon's lengthy section on emily as extremely detailed but not in a good way as many saw it there was even weaker evidence for shannon to prove her innocence many commentators meaning on this with comments that read quote i didn't stalk her but i know the colors of the walls in her dad's house unquote or quote when emily was a baby she didn't even change her own diapers she made her parents do it as you can see that is highly manipulative and selfish behavior unquote and quote when emily was a child she didn't like broccoli this proves how ungrateful and manipulative she is as a person unquote content creators had similar responses to shannon's video this clip by edwin's generation seems to be one of the most popular she stated in her now deleted video about how she did his sociopath and that she was misdiagnosed as bipolar this is so and on facebook shannon is saying on facebook in 29 2009 13 years minus 19. she was 16 17 or so maybe yeah okay why does shannon have a post from 13 years ago 11 years ago that says on the thing for the comments so so like she took this screenshot how long ago like two or three years ago yeah before maybe i don't [ __ ] know i can't just turn up through it for a while you're right that's a really good point shannon took this screenshot not not this year not last year not two years ago but three years ago bro bro this gets worse and worse shannon shannon shannon you need to remember you're trying to like present the narrative that you're not a stalker but girl why do you have the screenshot there is also a leaked version of shannon's 90 page document that adds an additional 22 pages where she is more vitriolic which has entertained many creators with her not yet redacted ramblings but of more importance to us is the first statement in shannon's video where she claimed that her response as we see it means one of two things she was able to get emily to retract some statements or she took emily to court as we see with emily's final response video posted a little over a month later on february 8th 2022 we now know that shannon opened her video with a lie as of this video emily has not been taken to court nor has she been forced to retract any of her statements video pops up shannon starts off her video by saying this if you are seeing this video it means one of two things has happened either one my lawyers negotiated with emily's lawyers and we reached a private settlement which resulted in some form of retraction or two i took emily to court for defamation and came out the other side neither of these things have happened it's a flat out lie i have no idea why she chose to leave this in but i'm kind of glad she did because it gives us a peek into what was probably her overall plan also this is the last video we'll be covering as this is as far as the situation has developed and what emily's final video towards shannon essentially is is poking holes in shannon's theories and discoveries as shannon took many of emily's old social media posts at face value including the ones that were made when emily was 13 that beyond hardly holding any relevance shannon decided to cover them anyway she took posts i made as a child a mentally ill child that was going through constant and drastic psych medication changes evaluations as well as multiple misdiagnoses and she used this information to attempt to smear me now as an adult because as we all know the things we do is children directly relate to the kind of adult we will become so if you were dramatic on the internet when you were 12 then that must make you a liar as an adult hey it was way more important that she got back to the deviantart journals from when i was 13. oh and analyzing the colors of the walls in my childhood home that stuff is important there were so many missteps in shannon's video emily did not have too much of a difficult job with winning the audience over again though emily does fail to mention the few of shannon's valid claims where she proves it wasn't her stalking her through snapchat there was hardly any need as shannon's own video was already damning enough and it made it even harder to disprove the overall argument that shannon wasn't stalking emily to some capacity now with things caught up we can go into theories as to why things played out the way they did these are very speculative and may not reflect her accurately so it is advised to take what you're about to hear with a grain of salt first why did shannon think this video was a good idea well that's a hard situation to comprehend unless you're going through it according to shannon she has lived a very difficult life and has a very negative world view she makes enemies with people she's supposed to be close to like her friends and sister according to her achieved normalcy throughout the years in public school which are very important years for development even when she became somewhat of a more social person she still frames these years as people being against her rather than accepting that her social skills failed her so she grew up to be a very pessimistic and angry person dropping out of college and taking a leap of faith to move to an expensive city only to become homeless for three years and struggle even more which is when she started her channel and was open in her story times about being an [ __ ] or toxic person who hates being around people typically when someone sees himself as bad they have done what they believe to be bad things and if they have the view that other people are bad or equally worse then that means the majority of people are doing bad things and hiding it like her overall a dangerous perspective to have this may have been a way to relieve guilt for the things she was allegedly doing but as the years progressed and she got a big break with youtube things changed for the better in her life winning this lottery may have changed her perspective as she was on the way to becoming a less vitriolic person which reflects both her posting less on locale and also coincidentally emily being harassed less she even cites in a video how awful she felt whenever she was first starting youtube in comparison to her success now i do not and do not want to go back to the person i was when i made those videos but just as her life was seeing improvement she was dragged down for betraying many of those close to her for anonymously posting on local and of course the emily situation her taste at a good life which she never expected faded as she was returning to the person she once was and fully embodied that malicious person in her final video that focuses more on tearing down others than proving her innocence but she could be a victim as well which is where we get into another theory we've gone over shannon believing that she's a terrible person which is possibly done to alleviate some guilt so if people found out about her history which they did she was being honest to some extent there's also the part where she was telling other creators don't defend me this can be perceived as her not wanting her friends to go down with her as she is innocent but it can also be perceived as a way of her communicating that she may be guilty and deserves for her actions to be brought out to light as a form of self-harm but also to relieve herself of the guilt she was bearing and finally her final video where she focused so much on emily did not go beyond 3 minutes to try to prove amy's existence nor address the local posts while a comment she left under the video does say that she'd rather focus on the serious claims emily laid out there is also the truth that amy and the long haul post are only tied to shannon and not anthony the way things are laid out and addressed always seemed to be done in relation to his defense her only time communicating with someone during her long period of silence was to tipster and that was in defense of her husband what if she wants to come clean but doing so will also drag her loved one down someone she spent three years living out of two cars with and forms such a close-knit bond there is not even a thought of betrayal she can ignore those accusations leveled at her solely because they are just at her but when any of them implicate anthony she fights hard not just in his defense but also gets the attention back on her but again this is all just a theory and this is still an evolving situation there might be a chance that she can somehow sever her connections to the local posts and if she does then she both gains credibility with amy and that she was telling the truth in some capacity this domino effect will also give her more credibility with the emily situation and things can go in her favor but it has to start there and unless she is able to sever that threat she will find difficulty ever finding success online but only time will tell as more information needs to come out these are accusations with many many coincidences like that she's dating the same person emily did she started off with not only the same content style but the exact same name for it and there are many parallels with her alleged stalker and emily's alleged stalker but again these could just be coincidences many many coincidences even though the things that shannon did to me were unconscionable and cruel i believe that she was also a victim here i believe that anthony played on her hatred for me as well as her emotional dependence on him for god's sake she dropped everything to go live out of her car an experience she herself called absolutely miserable just to be with him i will never forgive or forget what shannon did to me and her being a victim doesn't excuse her horrible behavior but i do think it's important we acknowledge that
