His apology didnt seem genuine it sounded like a politician’s apology. Still felt like he avoided bringing up his specific failings by not saying Sabrinas name or what he messed up.
Sounds like the typical kind of “apology” video. Think he even did a video making fun of them once.
Anyway, the whole situation, to me at least, screams of immature people who weren’t able to handle a proper relationship yet but with a serious medical emergency added on top.
But the medical emergency, the important part, seems to be coming secondary to all the relationship drama.
It shouldn’t be in the public spotlight but I could say that about most twitch/youtuber drama these days.
The drama seems to be the actual content most of them create now. Like a new generation of reality tv in a way.
I gotta say, it’s none of my business. I think this whole culture of everyone being involved in every aspect of a “celebrity’s” life is ridiculous. And also I don’t give a shit. Keep making dumb short videos with no meaning
Just going to ignore that video he released a month ago where he mocked people for over exaggerating injuries when he is accused of doing that to his girlfriend. And for “stepping away from social media”, he banned people who criticized him on Twitter for his last video, so that is a lie.
On the one hand it would have been better had this all happened privately and had he apologized to her under 4 eyes.
On the other hand he dragged it more or less into public with his on stream statements and … well his video before that was mocking people exaggerating their perceived pain… And it’s still up.
So i am still feeling unwell about this. I would prefer if he at least made that video private
With any conflict in any relationship the objective truth of what actually went down always lies somewhere in the middle between her account of things and his account of things. I think its ok to acknowledge that, while also saying Sabrina, as the mother in the situation, went through some real horrific shit and her feelings and thoughts she gave in her video are completely valid.
Its probably helpful to at least acknowledge that it would have been a nightmare for Gus too. Sure, compared to her, not as bad, but it still wouldnt have been easy for him. And suddenly when you start hearing the his side of things, you might still think he’s shitty but you may start to at least understand some things in a different light.
My point is, currently, with only Sabrina’s account out there, Gus is an evil abusive asshole. Once he adds his account, you would probably start to understand that its a very complicated situation that was hell for both sides and that it likely became infinitely messier once it became public.
The temptation for Gus to give his account must be heavy. But contrary to what other comments here are saying, the fact he doesn’t even try means this isn’t just a shitty generic apology, but actually quite mature since rather than trying to push back against any characterisation made of him or anything, he simply says sorry. We’ve never heard his side of the story and likely never will.
It mustn’t be pleasant to watch people crucify you online after you also went through a hellish time, and when you have a side of the story no-one knows but you also know you shouldn’t give your side because Sabrina’s experience was even more awful and valid.
Dirty laundry. As was the original video. Everyone needs to wind their neck in and stop pretending they have insight into a private relationship between people they’ve seen a few videos of.
I don’t know who this guy is but it sounds like he did some hurtful things in his private life and his ex ended up talking about it and costing him money.
I don’t have a solution to drama like this. I don’t know if he’s being sincere here because money is involved. I hope I never watch some fucking shit like this again.
I can’t be the only one one who thought this would be a parody video, especially given he’s made stuff [like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN-rQ_Swi24) in the past.
For anyone who isn’t caught up on this situation, I recommend watching Sabrina’s [video](https://youtu.be/JIXuo4fclcw) if you want to hear about the full extent of what she went through.
Johnson’s never really been my style of YouTuber, but it’s fantastic to see him be humble and honest in a sea of insincerity. Sorry to hear this happened to him, and I hope it all becomes just a memory
weren’t they like under 20 when everything happened? im not saying it as an excuse, people do dumb stuff and mistakes on their relationships, specially while young, what im getting out of all of this is that he behaved like an idiot, she stayed with him for years, then broke up recently and she decided to nuke his career with her video
if you watched this video start to finish it might be time to unplug for the internet for a bit. why are people discussing his personal life in the first place
Parasocial relationships are the bane of my existence. Just wish people were smarter but I know you can feel connected and you might be lonely irl and the internet people make you better so I get it.
But please understand, these people are NOT your friends. You do NOT know them. You do NOT know how they truly are in person. You do NOT know every side and detail of a story. They ARE real people with REAL flaws. Just like you.
Enjoy the content they make and click off. That should be the end off. For your sanity and theirs.
Love that the drama “should’ve been a private conversation between them two” and “it’s none of my business” when it’s about a content creator you all love, but hypocrites that you are, you’ll lap it up if it’s about some obnoxious shithead like one of the Paul brothers. The sanctimonious attitudes in this thread add a touch of insincerity to this whole situation.
I dunno what’s worse. The people who get upset over or fall for parasocial bullshit like strangers bad-mouthing exes, or the fact someone like Gus caters to them by justifying their irrelevant opinions with a video apology. Because let’s be real, the only video this potentially impacts are the people who are hating on him, the ones who think it’s completely normal to involve themselves in nonsense like this.
Oh, and of course the people who years later decide to try and fuck up someone’s life for whatever reason. Oh no, an ex was mean/distant/uncaring during a point in time. Better try and ruin his career by making him look bad on the internet.
I refuse to be informed on this topic and await future silly videos by this man. If that never occurs, I’ll never look into it. You are fucking welcome.
I’m really confused… this comment section is disturbing. Are we really saying that if people are abusive and terrible in their personal lives we are ok with them as long as they make content we enjoy? I understand that people have personal problems and make mistakes and treat others poorly, but my opinion of Gus changed a lot after Sabrina shared her story. I don’t think what he did was “foolish” it was cruel, heartless and shameful. I’m thankful he apologized and I hope that he really continues to learn from this experience.

What happened with Gus? Is there a tldr?
Idk about you guys but I’m tired of someone’s personal and private drama becoming content for the public to consume and discuss.
This whole thing should’ve been a private conversation between them two, possibly their close friends.
What even happened?
I gotta say, it’s none of my business. I think this whole culture of everyone being involved in every aspect of a “celebrity’s” life is ridiculous. And also I don’t give a shit. Keep making dumb short videos with no meaning

You don’t owe anyone an explanation. I didn’t make it to the end…. I hope I didn’t miss a joke.

Man, what the fuck ever happened to privacy?

What an ass
The worst part was his co-workers essentially blackballing him for shit that went on in his own personal life. They are shit for that.
Damn these Gus Johnson sketches have gotten dark.
This must have been a very difficult and stressful time. I hope he learns from this and comes back better than before.
For anyone who isn’t caught up on this situation, I recommend watching Sabrina’s [video](https://youtu.be/JIXuo4fclcw) if you want to hear about the full extent of what she went through.
whatever this is, it’s none of mine or your business.
Where’s the punchline?
Johnson’s never really been my style of YouTuber, but it’s fantastic to see him be humble and honest in a sea of insincerity. Sorry to hear this happened to him, and I hope it all becomes just a memory
Can we just cancel cancel culture? This is so obviously a private issue.
weren’t they like under 20 when everything happened? im not saying it as an excuse, people do dumb stuff and mistakes on their relationships, specially while young, what im getting out of all of this is that he behaved like an idiot, she stayed with him for years, then broke up recently and she decided to nuke his career with her video
Who is this guy, why is this on the front of /r/videos, and most importantly, why does anyone care?
if you watched this video start to finish it might be time to unplug for the internet for a bit. why are people discussing his personal life in the first place
Oh nice, another performative, monetised personal drama I couldn’t give a fuck about.
This should never have been a public thing. It’s none of our business

Come back Gus. Your vids are insanely hilarious.
ITT: people being surprised at how absurd internet culture is
Love that the drama “should’ve been a private conversation between them two” and “it’s none of my business” when it’s about a content creator you all love, but hypocrites that you are, you’ll lap it up if it’s about some obnoxious shithead like one of the Paul brothers.

I don’t get this one… least funny video yet. Too avant-garde for me I guess.
Whole lotta hypocritical bs in here lol

I dont know if I care enough about their personal life that would typically be personal and private to watch this.

The new version of peering through the venetian blinds while your neighbors fight.
