There is a new breed of stars out there who have more followers and make more money than many of the people who you watch on your television screens each night. One thing that doesn't make them different is they can be predators.
In this particular case, they can be even worse than any story about any actor you have heard. Because so many of these stars fly under the radar of tabloids or TMZ or paps, they get away with a whole lot more bad behavior. Disturbing behavior. Part of the problem is their fans tend to be younger. Teens for the most part. Think of these guys as boy banders but who do most of their interacting with fans over social media including videos.
One of the most popular YouTubers/Viners out there is young. His female fan base is even younger. If he posts anything on social media it is liked or retweeted or viewed up to 100K times in under an hour. That is a lot of influence. One of them has a thing he likes to do. He will follow random fans. The fans think the selections are random but they aren't. He scours through them looking for female teens that catch his eye. He then researches their interactions online about him. If he likes what he sees, he reaches out to them. Implores them to be quiet about what he is doing with them. He then sends out messages on Twitter he says are for them, but are in reality for the 20-30 teens he is playing with at any one time. He makes these in many cases underage teens undress and make videos for him. He never chats with them on cam but makes them do these things solo and then send everything to a DropBox account that is anonymous. On visits to their city he will hook up with them in person and have sex with them. Many of the teens he has sex with are underage but are willing to do anything to be with him. He is using his influence for evil. This has been going on for well over a year, if not almost two years.
While he was doing something mainstream not that long ago, he was juggling several of these teens all in one location. One, who was 16, got pregnant. He told her to get an abortion and to lie about who got her pregnant. She got the abortion. Once she did, he told her they should stop talking for awhile. Apparently she tried to commit suicide. The guy is awful. I'm not sure I have ever heard of someone so awful in the entertainment industry. The guy is destroying lives all while being lauded as this up and coming superstar who is going to change the face of entertainment.
