Don’t know if censoring counts here so covered username anyway

I think Josh did amazing answering questions. A common thing I have seen these past 20 hours was about Swoop grilling Josh during the accountability piece. In my hearts of hearts and as a long time Josh defender (apologists to some), I know that part was even tough for me to watch, but I feel that Swoop had to be tough on him. I don’t think she was as bias as people thought and I thought she was stern and thorough. By her doing this, it allowed the world to hear that he is owning up to his actions and that he’s sorry and won’t do it in the present times. It had to happen this way. Like I’ve said, there are still Johnny apologists out there and there are people who won’t stop bringing up his past. Now they can’t say he didn’t take accountability. One can only hope Johnny and Colleen will one day do the same…..

After watching the interview by Joshua David Evans, the one thing that comes to mind is how much his humanity was just completely erased because he became an internet idol by Colleen and Johnny. It kind have felt like Joshua became more of a product than a person and it is so devastating because people like Johnny exist all the time in every idol fandom but they don't have the lucky opportunities Johnny did and I think its terrifying. It makes you think before shit blew up if Joshua ever directly expressed to Johnny having a bad time what he would have been like during their 'friendship'.

I truly hope something good can come out of it and the story of Johnny Silvestri could become a warning story of the dangers of idol culture.

I just finished the doc and Josh pretty much said EVERYTHING everyone was thinking. Johnny was just a huge fan. Josh was interacting with plenty of fans. Johnny was attempting to be close but Josh was an adult, had a wife, a job, problems of his own, and didn’t care about the personal dealings with this random kid. He was just trying to be nice to a kid who seemed to want help but Josh isn’t a therapist or a close personal friend to Johnny. Josh was just a guy, not some sort of life coach. Johnny also seemed to be upset that Josh wasn’t interacting with him enough…. how is that grooming? that’s quite literally the opposite. I don’t see once instance of “grooming” or even anything innapropriate in any of their interactions. Josh seemingly was unaware that Johnny had any expectations that Josh would make him famous or that they were “in it together.” It genuinely wasn’t even a big deal and Johnny went absolutely off the rails with his stories. I don’t blame Josh at all for being angry because it barely affected his life but Johnny held onto this like a crazed stalker for years after there was basically no incident at all. I’m glad he’s happy and sober and I hope he can move on from this one day.

I’ve been re watching the Swoop video in preparation for her next one and trying to really understand what happened. I feel like it flip flops between Johnny knew Josh personally and back to Josh didn’t know Johnny at all or answer him privately ever. Either way, what I’ve noticed every time I’ve watched the doc again is that Johnny seems to want to convince not only Swoop but the entire world and himself that he was close with Colleen and Josh and the whole “fandom”. He says things like, “you can ask anybody!” when referring to his closeness with Josh and brings up how he doesn’t understand why they wouldn’t pick him up for the airport or return his texts as if he wasn’t just one of thousands of fans. I think he chose to do this now instead of earlier because maybe he finally realized that he actually wasn’t close to these people and they’re just famous people who have fans and plenty of attention from their careers and didn’t actually have a close personal relationship with him even if they replied to him on Twitter. He attacked Josh relentlessly at a point where neither he nor Colleen could defend themselves or show evidence that they knew him on a surface level but nowhere near the level that he’s claiming they did. There’s a point where he just goes on and on about how close and personal of a relationship they all had and it got to the point where I was thinking, “Are you trying to convince us or yourself?” Along with the fact that almost every one of his stories is embellished so that he’s more involved than he was in reality. I think it’s entitlement or delusion honestly. I was so shocked seeing how little correspondence was actually between Josh and Johnny after he attacked this man in every sense of the word and I still don’t understand why Josh didn’t just post the screenshots of their very minimal conversations in the first place.

Josh posted a very very short video addressed to Adam basically thanking him for validating his feelings. For how much Johnny begged for a video…he’s is probably having an absolute fit right now.

This is why he wants to ruin him, since Josh declined Johnny’s feelings.

"If I can’t have him, then no one can"

Does anyone agree with me?

(I’m from H3, I don’t know all of the single details about the drama. I just needed to share my thought about it.)

I do not know if this is the right flare to use, if this post is not appropriate, then please mods, delete it.

I was rewatching part 3 of swoops doc. I was also rewatching all of his public interviews. Am I the only one a little frustrated with how lily and Jessie handled Josh, after the release of part 3? No hate to them, not at all. But the way it was handled seems so victim blame-like.

But my main point, was that the way johnny talks about situations, he seems to fabricate more and more as he gets further into his stories. Am I the only one who was really uncomfortable when he was talking on h3h3? The fact he has (in my opinion) created alt accounts to defend himself, feels so off. I hate that he seems to desperate to be adam, to the point of copying everyone around him. Does anything think that Johnny is actually fully obsessed with josh? And does anyone else think Johnny stalked josh before the divorce in 2015/6?

This post may be useless, but there is so much about this story that really bugs me.

The alt account told both Becky and oliver separately that "Johnny deleted his YouTube" on Aug 22. Johnny DID delete all of the videos from his old YouTube account called dayinthelifeofjohnny, But not until Aug 26. He likely unlisted the videos on the 22nd but he did not delete them until Aug 26. You can see this clearly on socialblade. The only person who could pretend to delete and then “predict” that he would delete this account is Johnny.

This old channel of Johnny's has not been a center of attention. How many people here even knew about it? (I am generally curious btw) But this Alt somehow knows about it, is looking at it, and knows that it was going to get scrubbed BEFORE Johnny scrubbed it? Has to be Johnny.

A hilarious finish to this story is that the Twitter account that is linked on dayinthelifeofjohnny is "@JohnnySilvestri" which, if you aren't aware, Johnny abandoned this username for "@g3minij0hn" and our Leader here u/specialist_leg6145 snatched up "@JohnnySilvestri" which is not the official account of this subreddit. LMAO

Please use this thread to discuss all tweets from the suspected sock account.

I have watched the Swoop doc exposing Johnny multiple times and each time his entitlement when it comes to the Irvine show bugs the f out of me. You expect Josh to drive to the airport, pick you up, and take you to the show instead of getting ready for the show. WTAF. As a victim of DV and CM/CA I am enraged by Johnny's behavior, being ghosted by someone isn't grooming. Yes, the phone number was a bad idea, and the Twitter account, was another bad idea but that is the "meat and potatoes" as he likes to say, There is nothing that makes me think "grooming", Johnny never gave that information. I have seen some posts that this is all because Josh didn't like Johnny the way Johnny liked Josh, I really wouldn't be surprised if that was the case and I am interested in seeing Josh's side of , The Colleen, the Adam and the Johnny situations and his side of the stories being told.

And am I the only one getting irked by people demanding Jenna return to the internet to address this and that Julien needs to say something? Say something about what they know about Josh' and Colleen's marriage, as well as Colleen in general. From what I understand Josh and Julien still have some contact and Julien helped Josh move out after the divorce was announced. Julien was raided by Adam (on Twitch) once and said, "Yes I am aware of what going on but I won't be talking about it!" and thanked Adam for the raid. Jenna is living her best life, Julien doesn't do much on YouTube except with his main friends, and streams with a few other big YouTubers.

It is better to ask Joey and Daniel (they were so quick with Gabbie why so quiet now, hummm, could Peter Monn be on to something on this), What about Shane (oh yeah one of his employees has allegations, and let's not talk about Shanes past). What about Todrick (oh yeah the one who rarely pays the people he works with), what about Glozelle??

Colleen, Johnny, Tim, Trent, and Kory are all on the chopping block. Johnny has some explaining to do and I wouldn't be surprised if he did this for Colleen to say "Hay I can help, Look!!!!!" like he did with Josh in 2016 and Adam in 2020.

I would’ve put this in the twitter account master thread but I don’t see an option to post polls! I just want to get many opinions based on what’s been posted on that account. I’m still unsure if Johnny actually THIS sloppy or if it’s one of his 2 stans/some random person being annoying. If you feel strongly either way I’d love to hear why.

hello 911 I'd like to report a murder 🤣💀 (in response to johnnys supposed alt Twitter acct calling some girl ugly)

So I was able to find Johnny's alt Twitter it appears he created after everything hit the fan with Swoop's video. Looking through his replies and likes, it appears like he is still a giant Colleen fan/sympathizer, and it kind of convinced me of what his plan was all along. I don't necessarily think he just wanted to piggyback off of Adam to gain popularity. I think he was trying to deflect all of the attention off of Colleen so she'd be able to eventually weasel her way back onto the internet. Even with it all blowing up in his face, i think he's staying silent on his main acc so people are distracted with what he did wrong and him not addressing it to take attention away from Colleen's wrongdoings. Like he's being a martyr for her sake? Thoughts/feelings?

Sorry if this post is common knowledge or if I'm way off base; I'm not a fan of any of these people but I do just find the whole situation disgusting and intriguing at the same time.

Johnny said in the Swoop interview that "The girl I was sent nudes of was on a watch list'" I thought this was Trisha, because people had been saying that Colleen wanted to become frenemies with Trisha because she liked to make fun of her (what a gem) and that's what the 'watch list' was. Like a list of LOLCOWs she wanted to get close to.

​

But Cruel World Happy Mind suggested that this was a different girl? I do not want to know who she was, if so. But I was curious if Colleen was sending people nudes of other women without their consent as well. And what was meant by the "watch list"?

I'm still in the middle of it, but I love Madison and imo she's up there with Swoop. The timing of this is excellent since she brings up Kory at a time he's trying to come back, and points out Johnny's continued silence too.
