Hey! Here are some of the facts yall seem to be missing!
I was newly 17 when I met Ryan, the majority of our contact took place while I was 17.

I did not begin it. He was the one who started it.
I am not part of some cult that fucks youtubers, I was referring to a music community that I spent formative years in where people who slept with band members were generally somewhat celebrated
when I speak about receiving attention in the video, I was talking about his attention. I did not start talking to him looking for sexual attention. I just wanted any interaction bc I thought he was a nice person.
I did not release the video for attention, I did it so that he wouldn’t have the ability to prey on other fans.

Know that he is gone for a reason. This was not a decision that was made lightly.
You do not know the full story. Now that he is gone, there is no reason for any of the other stories to be made public. It is likely you will never get the full story, and you will have to live with that. Victims don’t owe you anything.
I don’t support any kind of maliciousness thrown at the family. Seriously. That is fucked up to go after them. Leave them alone.
I hope all the fans that I see hurting can find pockets of hope and comfort rn. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, take a break, step outside, listen to some music (hayley williams newer album is great for healing) I love you all, I hope the healing process is kind to you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
Also just want to add a few more things: I legitimately accidentally sent the photo to him. It wasn’t sexual in any way, I thought the last person I snapped was the friend it was meant for, not him. It seriously wasn’t a sexy photo at all.
We spoke platonically for two months prior to him instigating. At first he believed I was a lesbian, when I corrected him and said I was identifying as bi at the time he started to flirt with me.
the vast majority of the two years I mentioned was spent with me avoiding him in all it was maybe 3-4 months max of me actually speaking to him regularly. Fall last year I had a bit of a come to jesus moment w wtf had been going on. and stopped speaking to him entirely
I was not the one who doxxed him nor was I the original person who leaked anything.
the homewrecker tweet was a dumb joke made between me and someone else who spoke w him a lot. He used those emojis constantly and would say those sorts of things. It was a stupid joke to try and take the edge off. I don’t harbor any ill will towards his family, only him.
I seriously have to reiterate, I didn’t even find him attractive, I did not start talking to him for anything uncouth. I was just an ah fan who was happy to connect w him.
