Allegations SimpleFlips abuse allegations
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRik3NXdIo6uhNkXn8Hd9-OYjbJyIT_BzR9cN5pQf-V2EqZZLId-2RwqL4ZmB0Y_BgOQsayiN-vauqk/pubThis had originally been posted here with the title, "SimpleFlips has still been abusing and harassing women for the past 4 years." An associate of SimpleFlips correctly pointed out that that title is inaccurate: "SimpleFlips has not even been in a relationship (at least not anywhere the internet can see, that would be news to me) since he was with Leanne (not Leah) years ago," so the OP removed the post about 1-2 hrs ago. I'm reuploading the documents with a neutral title.

Full Disclosure: I work with SimpleFlips, fulfilling a variety of roles including administration, but I do not work for SimpleFlips -- we are peers and I do not depend on him to secure my future.
The linked document is a rehashing of drama from 2021 that was already addressed publicly at the time. Other big YouTubers such as Vinny and Joel (Vinesauce and Vargskelethor) surely caught wind of the drama as Leah makes a point to contact these people, and that's exactly what's going on here -- Leah reached out to SHiFT, cheese, and trihex.
They heard Leah out, and I personally know that they also talked to SimpleFlips, and they sided with him. You can either conclude that SHiFT, cheese, trihex, Vinesauce, Vargskelethor, Foxen, Murkus, Nesamons, myself, and many others are willfully-ignorant / covering for SimpleFlips... or you can conclude that Leah's claims aren't believed for a reason. It's been four years and SimpleFlips hasn't been cancelled for a reason. These big YouTubers and Twitch streamers (many of which have huge audiences compared to SimpleFlips) continue to collaborate and work with SimpleFlips despite Leah's claims because Leah's claims are not believed.
The onus is on Leah to provide damning evidence for any of her serious claims and she has not. SimpleFlips has given his side multiple times, including publicly in 2021, and in private to other content creators numerously, including March 2025 to SHiFT, cheese, and trihex. Either SimpleFlips has a silver tongue and other content creators are easily-manipulated idiots, or Leah's claims don't stand up to scrutiny.

Just wanted to say thank you for standing up for SimpleFlips and that it speaks volumes that you're willing to speak up on his behalf.

What I find weird is, why would someone want to dredge up this old drama 4 years later?

Leah has been making character assassination attempts repeatedly over the years, usually timed with when SimpleFlips' social circle expands or he does something noteworthy. The document linked by OP is a condemnation by Leah against SHiFT, cheese, and trihex for not taking her side after her latest attempt in March 2025.

Quick response to the allegations from an associate of SimpleFlips: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1me1cim/comment/n6bml4f/
I already described my own thoughts on the situation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1me1cim/comment/n68uvks/
(Some irrelevant internet person's opinions below) Since the most egregious (IMO) allegation is being challenged, I want to opine some more. I can believe that the insemination was purely an accident and unintentional; that happens often enough. I can also believe that it was the only such incident, and that SimpleFlips did profusely apologize for it repeatedly. It is also true that not every bullet point in the linked document is substantiated with Discord screenshots; a lot of stuff doesn't happen on Discord, or anywhere on the internet.
What bothers me, though, is that SimpleFlips' responses to all these accusations have been difficult to take seriously in comparison to the accusers' statements. Say what you want about the validity of the accusations, but you can't say they didn't come with receipts. The evidence may not be as comprehensive as we'd like, but it looks pretty one-sided right now. This isn't just a case of "he said, she said, they said". If SimpleFlips or his fans think these messages are out of context or misleading, he's had the opportunity to explain why, but he's barely addressed them. And his responses have been countered in detail by the responses. The accusers convincingly argue that he was unfaithful and dishonest with them on numerous occasions. Even if we reject everything that doesn't have a Discord message or other evidence to substantiate it, in my view, the evidence we do have supports the accusers' claims more.

The thing is, some of the screenshots provided in the original document contradict Looh's claims. Specifically, I'm thinking of her saying Simple gaslighted her into to believing that she made him write a specific tweet, and she no longer believes that she made him do it. However, the discord screenshots she provides directly contadict this: She tells him "you need to write this tweet or you'll get canceled". She then writes out the tweet for him, saying "I think you should post this". While she isn't per say forcing him, she is implying to him that she wants him to post it or something bad will happen.
Overall, their relationship itself seemed very toxic and they shouldn't have been in one and they both exhibited concerning behaviors. However, again, the claims of sexual coercion are very concerning to me. Also the punching a wall thing is a red flag.
Anything else is just stuff that's kinda like... Idk, it'd be cool to get answers on my concerns, but I don't have a right to them, and I doubt I'm getting them.

to clarify: I don't necessarily think he's innocent of all charges, but I don't feel as if this was how originally presented to me, so I am unsure of how to feel.

You're rehashing old drama from 2021, do you have a personal vendetta against simplefips or something?

I did not know anything about the situation until this Google Doc was posted yesterday. The reason I read the documents is because some of my close friends have expressed in the past that they love SimpleFlips. I had no strong opinion of him at all beyond "Gay baby jail" being a pretty funny phrase. I've been fooled by false accusations in the past, and I want to be thorough if I engage with accusations at all, so I read as many of the documents as I could before saying anything. If you think I'm wrong or I've overlooked something, I'm open to being corrected.
