BYE SISTER Part Three: Gummies, God, and Gucci
Added 2024-09-05 20:30:47 +0000 UTCThe question that divides a nation: was this about vitamins? Today, we excavate the 24 months of fallout that followed Tati’s and James’s original videos. Palettes are peddled, silence is broken, lives are streamed, and God herself is seen on home video footage. This is “the last time we’ll be talking about this.”

The straw squeak sent me and I have no idea why 🤣

2025-05-02 02:46:32 +0000 UTCDid I come back to this video after less than a day because I have more thoughts? Of course I did. I kinda want to push back on this closing note that Tati Westbrook goes off the deep end of weird spirituality and pseudoscience as a result of the psychological damage she underwent from all of this. I'm sure that played a part, but lest we forget that before "Bye Sister," Tati launched a scammy vitamin company called Halo. She was already showing herself to dabble in the pseudoscientific and spiritually weird before she received all this hate. It reminds me of your Gwen Stefani video, where underneath all the layers of cultural appropriation she revealed herself to be just a little Catholic girl from Orange County. Which is to say I wonder if Tati Westbrook wouldn't have always ended up where she is now regardless of "Bye Sister" and its fallout. Do I have even more thoughts? Of course I do, but they are still a little half baked. In the meantime I'm very excited to dive into part 4 of the saga!

2025-05-01 19:50:46 +0000 UTCSuch a great video once again! I can't believe how much of this section of the saga I've blocked out of my mind. Like I completely forgot about Shane Dawson's livestream reaction to Tati's video, but I had an immediate and visceral reaction when you brought it up. What a truly unhinged moment in time. But I will never forget Jeffree Star's 2020 apology video thumbnail. Truly a work of art.

2025-05-01 02:15:45 +0000 UTCLove this series - Kat is fabulous! Anyone else hella distracted by the purple wrapper trash in the otherwise lovely setting?

2025-02-07 03:18:24 +0000 UTCI'm just absolutely stunned by how incredibly engaging this entire drama is!!! Why do I have a feeling that Ryan Murphy will eventually churn a limited series based on this? Feud season 3 maybe?

2024-11-04 02:45:21 +0000 UTCI don't want to put forth any diagnoses or conditions, but I do believe in pointing out odd behavior patterns. After the initial scandal and call out, there was undoubtably a lot of stress put upon Tati, and stress can trigger people in certain ways. Given the change in her behavior, the fast-track to psuedo-science and faith, the very surprising claims she is making surrounding AI and technology in her home, I think Tati is showing signs of paranoid delusions. That's not necessarily an awful thing, especially since she has access to resources and support. But especially at the end of the episode, hearing what Tati went through and the short clip of her, it sounds like she eventually hit a huge crisis point. I'm nervous about next episodes discussions honestly.

2024-11-02 09:08:15 +0000 UTCWhen Jeffery Star mentions Breonna Taylor and Black trans women being murder, he follows it up soon after by saying "All beauty matters" in regards to his upcoming releases. I do NOT think that was a coincidence, he absolutely is playing on Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter . He is very, very cheeky in his videos, and he likes to play the line where he just barely admits the truth in our faces.

2024-09-29 12:51:12 +0000 UTCThis whole Dramageddon got namedropped in a lawsuit against Tati Westbrook and her Vitamins by a businesspartner of her, also a drama commentator was given infos by said businesspartner.. that was a wild ride im unsure not many people know!

2024-09-28 12:14:27 +0000 UTCWatching these has made me realize being 16 when "bye sister" dropped is one of the best and suddle flexes ever. It was the talk of my friend group (and the entire high school tbh). It is interesting to now listen to all of this years later and realize how gullible and sympathetic I was to all these sociopaths. Very excited for part 4 because I stopped following it after 2020.

2024-09-08 03:09:38 +0000 UTCI love that there will be another episode of this saga. I watched Jen Luv’s videos recently on James Charles and it’s been FASCINATING to piece together. Thank you for blessing me with this content.

2024-09-08 01:59:56 +0000 UTCLaughing midway through this at your comment, Matt, of ‘it’s a free country…kind of’ - I say that all the time😂😅 So damn true sadly. Great episode so far - I am a newb to this whole drama because I had a bunch of personal life drama in 2019 and missed ALL of this so I am just so engrossed😄

2024-09-07 17:29:24 +0000 UTCnow i’m watching tatis new video about her sobriety journey. i don’t wish to make fun of her progress, but there are a lot of things clicking together after watching that. she says the quiet part out loud about how she replaced substances with consumerism, for instance. i’m just fascinated by the insight into her mind, particularly after watching your videos recently. i was also someone who watched tati allllll of the time B.B.S (before bye sister).

2024-09-06 20:20:38 +0000 UTCOkay I’m starting to the realize the the whole reason I was even interested in this drama to begin with was so that five years later I could watch this series. You guys are amazing!

2024-09-06 19:36:47 +0000 UTCDaaaamn the hole just gets deeper. As someone was only tangentially aware of Goodbye Sister, the context was very helpful. And now the aftermath is going so far off the rails 0-0 so many videos that didn't need to be made, the endless lack of moving on is just so wild.

2024-09-06 18:34:38 +0000 UTCShane’s rambling statement is so much worse than I remember 😭 and a masterclass on how to overuse hypophora.
MacKenzie
2024-09-06 18:32:33 +0000 UTCThe thing I can't stop thinking about re: Shane's involvement is that he got so upset that James wanted to be involved in the making of a documentary that he tried to destroy this kid only to *check note* release the fluffiest, shallowest "documentary" about the "makeup industry" which was just him swooning over Jeff's alleged wealth while Jeff tried to fuck his friend.

2024-09-06 17:38:13 +0000 UTCthis all happened when I was 15 and I DID immediately read the homophobic undertones in bye sister but bought shane dawson being poor hook line and sinker. I really thought big companies had exploited his internet fame until this point. I thought his house was just what suburban houses looked like in california. i wasnt a stan idgaf about shane before his documentary era (which i would argue started with his series on his dad and meeting his hater, although maybe that was just soft testing the formula for the exploitative influencer deepdives he ended up doing) and when I did start watching him he was reeeally riding on goodwill from being bisexual and being on a Tyler Oakley Auguest video one time.

2024-09-06 00:36:00 +0000 UTCWhen you read Shane's notes app post and you got to the humble pie line I SCREAMED. How could I have forgotten the humble pie 😭 What's insane to me too is that, iirc, Shane had a few months/maybe a year earlier made a generalized "apology" video about his past behavior re: his old racist youtube content, and that had kind of been the impetus of him pivoting to the documentary stuff maybe? Or it had been around the time his early docuseries style videos started? I remember that period so clearly because it was around the same time that Jenna Marbles had also made her apology/leaving YouTube video, and I was like... how is this guy still making content and everyone is forgiving him, but Jenna Marbles (who yes did make racist content, but to nowhere near the scale of Shane's) is dropping off the face of the earth?? Then later on when he had to make his notes app statement, and then even later than that, his video addressing the beastiality/pedophilic content of his that was being resurfaced, I remembered thinking that there was nooo way in hell he was ever going to bounce back from that. It was just so wild to me how many apology/addressing scandal videos Shane had made within like a 3-4 year timespan, how wildly different in tone they all were, and how differently they had all been recieved. Anyways. Rambling over, great vid as always. It's craaaazy going down this trip of YouTube Scandal Past
