r/UnrelatableReese

My empathy for Abigayle is nearly gone.

She is a parasocially delusional donor who uses religious virtue-signaling and financial gift-giving to insert herself into online drama, weaponizing her faith to justify supporting toxic creators while inventing a fictional, high-stakes relationship with them.

When a viewer starts funding hate/drama channels and self-admitted conmen, they cross the line from a "vulnerable victim of the internet" to a voluntary enabler of toxicity.

The Shift from Victim to Enabler

• Weaponizing Her Wealth: She is no longer just watching; she is using her money as a tool to reward bad behavior (hate/drama) and punish people who don't bend to her personal whims.
• Hypocrisy as a Choice: By actively ignoring that the "Lifeboat" is a self-admitted conman, she is making a conscious choice to overlook fraud. This proves her "Christianity" is just a convenient cover story to justify her personal grudges.
• Malicious Intent: Her belief that Aaron "knows he lost her" reveals a desire to inflict emotional harm. She wants him to feel abandoned and hurt, which is the exact opposite of the innocent, loving faith she claims to practice.
• Funding the Fire: She is directly keeping toxic channels alive. Without donors like her willing to pay for drama, hate channels would starve and disappear. She is the fuel in their engine.

Her loneliness (or whatever her issue is) does not excuse her malice. She is choosing to spend her disposable income on tear-downs and conflict, making her just as responsible for the toxicity as the creators holding the microphones.

--------------------------------------------------
This next part is mostly for Abigayle and anyone interested in a biblical perspective on Abigayle.

Abigayle is directly violating several foundational biblical principles regarding speech, community, and integrity.

1. Promoting Division and Gossip

The Bible explicitly warns against sowing discord, gossiping, and thriving on internet-style "drama."

• Proverbs 6:16-19: Lists "a person who stirs up conflict in the community" as one of the things God detests.
• Ephesians 4:29: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs..."

2. Partnering with Deceivers and Swindlers

By funding the "Lifeboat" channel—a self-admitted conman—she violates clear scriptural instructions regarding dishonesty.

• Proverbs 29:24: "The accomplice of a thief is his own enemy..."
• 1 Corinthians 5:11: Instructs believers not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer but is greedy, a slanderer, or a swindler.

3. Hypocrisy and Judgmentalism

She uses scripture to police Aaron’s personal life while ignoring her own malicious behavior in funding hate content.

• Matthew 7:3-5 (The Plank and the Speck): "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
• Matthew 23:23: Jesus condemns religious leaders who follow minor rules but "neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness."

4. Weaponizing Prayer and Almsgiving for Attention

Her public Superchats and food deliveries match the exact behavior Jesus warned against regarding performative righteousness.

• Matthew 6:1: "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."

5. Acting with Malice and Vengefulness

Her smug belief that Aaron "knows he lost her" stems from a desire to make him suffer a loss, violating the command to leave judgment to God.

• Leviticus 19:18: "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself."

According to the strict definitions laid out in scripture, her behavior categorizes her under several highly critical biblical terms.

1. A Hypocrite

In the New Testament, Jesus used this Greek term to describe religious people who put on a theatrical performance of holiness while their hearts were full of malice. By quoting scripture while funding hate and fraud, she aligns with Matthew 15:8: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

2. A Double-Minded Person

The Bible uses this term for someone who tries to live in two completely different moral worlds at the same time—clinging to God with their words but indulging in toxic behavior with their actions. James 1:8 warns that a double-minded person is "unstable in all they do."

3. A Sower of Discord

Because she is actively paying financial capital to channels that exist solely to tear people down, create conflict, and spread drama, the Bible classifies her as a disruptor of peace. Proverbs 6:19 explicitly states that God detests "a witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community."

4. A False Witness / Slanderer

By validating and funding a "hate/drama" channel, she becomes an active accomplice to slander. In the Old Testament, Exodus 23:1 warns: "Do not spread false reports. Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness."

5. A Phairsee

Her behavior mirrors the religious elite of Jesus's day who were obsessed with looking clean on the outside through performative gifts (like pizza and superchats) while harboring rotting intent inside. In Matthew 23:27, Jesus calls them "whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean."

Apparently Abigayle is back in full force with T and R and she says she blocked Aaron. While I’m glad she doesn’t spend money on A, it’s sad she still can’t see the truth in R and T

I've had an idea stuck in my head for a while now, and I can't decide if it's worth pursuing or if it's one of those things that sounds better in my head than it would in reality.

The more I read here, the more I realize there are probably a lot of stories we'll never hear. Some people have moved on, some don't want the attention, some don't want to relive everything, and I'm sure there are others who simply don't think anyone would care.

I supported Reese and Brett for a long time. Nobody forced me to do that. I made those choices because I believed in them. Looking back, there are things I see very differently now, and I sometimes wonder how many other people have gone through a similar experience.

That's where this idea comes from.

I keep wondering if there would be any value in having a YouTube channel dedicated exclusively to people who want to tell their stories about Reese or Brett. Not a reaction channel, not a place to analyze every livestream, and not another creator trying to compete for views. I mean a place where the focus stays on the people who actually lived through these experiences.

I know some people would never want to speak publicly, and I completely understand that. If something like this ever existed, I'd want people to be able to remain anonymous if that's what they preferred.

I also want to be very clear about something. This wouldn't be about making money. I already have a full-time job, and I wouldn't feel comfortable monetizing something built around other people's experiences.

I honestly have no idea if this is something people would even want, which is why I'm asking before I spend any time thinking about it any further.

If you believe Reese or Brett manipulated you, lied to you, took advantage of your trust, or otherwise caused harm in your life, is this something you would ever consider participating in? Would being able to remain anonymous make a difference?

Maybe the answer is no, and that's perfectly okay. I'm just curious whether there's a need for something like this or whether I'm completely off base.

Some personal impressions about the public Youtube persona "Relatable Reese" (I say "persona" cause that's all I know, i.e. the publicly displayed character that performs as "Reese" on the "Relatable Reese" YT channel) that I've been generally mulling over and just thought I'd share and move on:

1. There is a genre of Youtube channels called "drama channels" - all they do is drum up a shifting crowd of "followers" and then create fake "drama" with, usually, another drama channel while the "followers' drift back and forth and back and forth, like soap opera banshees or moths following the channel creators' fake flames.

For example, in the world of YT "true crime" channels, the drama segment is known as "Crama" channels, and rather than stick to crime "facts", they just argue back and forth who's guilty, altho nobody really knows, it's just the "taking sides" dynamic.

In the case of RR's channel it appears her "official cover" schtick is "women's empowerment" thru shopping and counseling and gossiping about other people known to the group.

2. The drama channel "personas" - a/k/a "creators" - of these channels DO IT FOR THE MONEY - THEY'RE BUSINESSES, NOT ELEEMONSYNARY LONELY HEARTS CLUBS - and many of them do quite well, i.e., as near as I can figure, observing some of the bigger ones, the persona's are taking in about $200,000+ per annum what with YT advertising fees, "follower" "super chats" and payments via Venmo, Paypal, etc., monthly channel "Members" dues as well as other devices like setting up "Amazon Wish Lists" from which followers can pay for items - usually something that stirs up the sympathies of the followers like pet toys or childrens' items) to be sent to the channel persona which, usually unrealized by the gifting followers, can be "exchanged" by the channel persona for something other Amazon item much more to the channel creator's personal liking. (indeed there's one clever "Crama" Youtuber who raises money, in addition to for himself, for monthly donations to various volunteer crime groups, like searchers - but the real angle that he takes the money given by his followers and, yes, makes monthly donations of a portion of the amounts collected, but then claims the tax deduction for those donations for himself, wickedly clever, no?)

3. So that's the framework of ALL of them - MAKING MONEY; I don't care if they're ostensibly showcasing the interests of Mother Teresa or starving children, they're doing whatever they're doing to make that $200K nut by just running their mouths on Youtube. And, btw, lol, imo they're ALL GREEDY, LAZY, and SELFISH, AF as well, just the generic type, female or male, who goes into the YT grift game.

4. And the RR persona is NO DIFFERENT in that regard - she's in it to make a nice sweet income - and, again by "sweet", I'd guess in the well above $100K per annum range.

5. So what's the big deal - just another Youtuber makin' a buck by yapping.

6. Well, having looked at the various biz models and persona performative "role playing" of so many YR'ers, what stuck me - actually, shocked me - about RR is the piercing sophistication of her "follower" grooming techniques - apparently the fruit of her former Scientology training - as well as how utterly relentless she is in pursuing her grift; she talks for about 2 hours/day pretty much every day of the week except for her special "Members Only" Zoom sessions that reportedly last for as long as 12 hours!!!

7. But For RR - and this, in my estimation is her ominously distinctive quality - it's more than a money play angle in the super competitive world of YT grift - it's her publically self-evidenced psychologically driven compulsion for vengeance - and gal has THIN skin with a mind-warping buffet of vendetta's goin' on at any one time - from her daily life: doctors, nurses, restaurant servers, customer encounters in stores with whom she had/has some beef - from her personal life: her bio dad, her mother, her MIL, her former Scientology colleagues, her former husbands (except for 92 year old she married for 6 months)- AND, of course, any other channel "persona's" or "followers" that have quit her, and thus thereby, in her 24/7 (which actually must be a self-torture in and of itself) suspicious mind, threaten her grift.

8. So RR's "super-power"? Gal will set out to intentionally & publically HURT you - reputationally and/or emotionally based on whatever personal tidbits she's wheedled out of you during her "love-bombing" phase - as viciously as she can, if she gets that bee in her bonnet that you've become, as a follower, "dis-loyal" (or no longer money-producing) or a direct competitor channel in what she sees as her own grift "lane".

9. Of course there's myriad other notably troubling "red-flag" aspects of the RR persona: teaming up with her latest husband - imo, a miserable con man bum American expat hunkered down in Ecuador while she remains ensconced in the USA - with whom, on screen (via a separate channel) she engages in a very seedy/hinky soft porn interaction apparently geared to titillating a very distinct subset of her regular channel "followers" - and, elsewise, her overt "targeting" of older folks because, one could reasonably surmise, they have more disposable income and softer kind hearts for her various sob stories.

10. So, what's the lesson learned? No use expecting a duck to bark or a dog to quack - or either to stop doing what comes naturally to them - and highly sophisticated grifting together w. a nasty spirit of vengeance wrapped in a very offputtng, imo, constant undertone of sexual innuendo is what comes naturally to the "Relatable Reese" persona as she publicly presents herself.

11. BUT She ain't gonna change - gal herself brags constantly she LUVS TO SHOP and that takes MONEY - and every hit she takes from audience blow back is only a "teaching moment' for her as to how to manipulate better next time - it's the nature she chooses to cultivate on screen.

12. So, for me, personally, the takeaway was/is - STAY AWAY, stay, far, far away - fortunately, unless one gets sucked in by the her sophisticated grooming techniques and actually engage with her via money gifting (that's a "window" into tracking personal ID info), she's quite boring - one of those gals who can irritatingly drone on for hours on end and never say anything, but upset you nonetheless.

13. Is the "RR" channel a "cult"? Well, The Cult Education Institute outlines several common red flags:

- Absolute Authoritarianism: The leader has all the power and is never questioned.

No Tolerance for Questions: You are punished or shamed for having doubts or asking for proof.

- Isolation: The group pressures you to cut ties with family, friends, and anyone outside the group.

- Fear-Based Control: You are taught that the outside world is evil or doomed, and that leaving the group will result in disaster.

- Financial Exploitation: There is no clear look at how group money is spent, and members are pressured to give up their wealth or work for free.

- "Us vs. Them" Mentality: The group claims to be the only way to know the truth or find validation.

Personally, I don't think the "Relatable Reese" channel/persona rises to the level of these warning signs - she's not that "big time" - but she does use her Scientology background to good (bad) effect in running her little Youtube channel money grift - and folks likely should be well on guard that deliberately honed mind/emotion manipulation is going on.

So, in sum, imho, the RR performance doesn't rise to the level of a "cult", but it is dang cult-ish.

14. An last but not least, always gotta remember, each of us - hopefully all only adults, no children involved, god forbid - are free to make our own choices - so if some choose to jump onto the RR train for whatever reason of personal preference, it's still a "free country", lol. We're each accountable for remembering that old adage: A fool and her/his money are soon parted.

15. But if you feel that you, or someone you care for, has been substantively swindled by any YT'er, remember, one avenue of recourse is the state by state Consumer Protection bureaus: for example, let's say, Tennessee's is:

Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs - serves as the state’s primary consumer protection agency, handling complaints regarding unfair or deceptive business practices. The agency operates as a clearinghouse and mediation service to help resolve marketplace disputes but cannot provide direct legal representation for individual consumers.

Stay safe - be happy! - and God Bless us every one (even RR, lol) :-)

She says that he wasn't convicted of rape. While that is technically correct, he was convicted of FORCED SODOMY. Since that was just forcing his penis into her mouth how would you feel about that happening to YOU? How would you like his penis forced into your mouth or the mouths of your kids while they are at school. I agree FORCED SODOMY is not r@pe. He did this at school to a 15 year old at school by force and then sexually harassed her at work and tried to force his penis wherever he could. He kept pulling it out and asking why he shouldn't. He even offered $450 to put it I don't know where and I don't care. He served his probation and this is your excuse for this? How do you live with yourself? You are pathetic and so is Reese. What is wrong with Nora?

***I took out strong armed.

EDIT: According to a commenter below, Peace Lady has NOT defected back to Reese. Apologies.

In Reese's recent stream where she learned while live that KH had retired, right as Reese was being told the news, she popped in to the chat saying KH and Goot were gone. It was odd. Like, hearing KH and Goot back off somehow seemed to cause Peace Lady to go back to Reese? Then sent a chat saying it was all a misunderstanding. She had been very vocal online in her criticism of Reese, though I don't know what caused her to leave RR in the first place. But whatever the reason was, it clearly didn't stick.

It was sickening watching Reese gloat about KH and she kept saying "they had won", and all the celebration donations coming in.

And then last night, another ex member whom Reese met in AZ, and who was also critical of Reese online, popped back up tonight in RR's chat wanting to be welcomed back.

I've actually seen a surprisingly high number of this happening with ex subscribers to RR. A disturbing trend and a head-scratcher...some of the unknown names might be sock accounts pretending to be ex fans coming back, but there have been plenty where it IS the original person.

I think this phenomenon really highlights how deep brainwashing goes, coupled with extreme loneliness and a desparate need for belonging...and how easily swayed and influenced people can be.

If one didn't experience the Club of Reese, it's hard to understand. I too find myself at times missing that feeling of being welcomed in and the illusion of being part of a group. And contrary to what is said, she doesn't just welcome the ones paying for the chat. She makes sure to spread it out towards at least a few nonpaying subscribers, too. I think that is a tactic, plus it is obvious you get WAY MORE attention if you pay, and of course there are plenty she doesn't really pay aytention to at all. But she foes have a special way of maki g you feel welcomed--and it is bone-chilling to then realize the level of control and manipulation she is exerting while greeting you with a smile and warm welcome.

So I get it, to a degree, that the parasocial pull can trump reasoning for some people apparently. I just don't get going back after seeing her for what she is. It would feel like a betrayal of myself going back to that. And would make me feel gross, no way I could never enjoy that after waking up. I guess some peoples' scruples just aren't that strong. These people don't just come back, they will often grovel and apologize profusely for their prior betrayals. It wouldn't be as bad if these people had casually find came back, but some of these people were truly awakened to her evilness, and still crawled back. People like that are almost as frightening as Reese.

The games at a carnival are rigged and fake as hell. The carnival barker doesn’t ask for money. They set up a flashy booth and wait for someone to happen by and compliment them and woo them with a prize. 

But the hoops aren’t the right shape, the rings around the bottles are only a fraction bigger, and the balloons are under inflated. 

Most of us know carnival games are rigged. We know we are going to lose money if we play. 

Sometimes, once in a while, someone actually wins a prize. A nasty, cheap stuffed animal that you would never actually purchase - especially for the amount you spent on the games. And don’t forget you have to keep paying to get a bigger prize.

On this channel, Reese is that cheap stuffed animal. Or her fleeting attention anyway. Her fans are paying real money through superchats, merch, and paywalled Zoom calls. Paying to play. The problem is that nobody in her crowd wants to admit the whole game is fake.

Relatable Reese is a multi-revenue business. You are not family. You are not friends. You are a client at best, a mark or chump at worst. 

Relatable Reese is a MULTI-REVENUE BUSINESS. The free video is considered a loss leader. Reese invests time making it so she can monetize the viewer. She does this with superchats, selling merch, and charging for zoom calls. In business, however, honestly and transparency are expected. You don’t have to stop watching. You don’t have to mind your own business. You can demand all the honestly and transparency you want. She does not own YouTube. It is not hers, nor does she make the rules. 

(P.S. This post is an analogy, Reese.)

I haven't kept up in forever, but I decided to start paying attention again right before a bunch of craziness happened...

Reese and Marilyn ublocked all their haters for some reason. Commenting is open on Relatable Reese, and she doesn't seem to be blocking people, for now at least. She says she welcomes it, but the few times someone took her up on it, she didn't respond well at all lol, pretty funny to watch her crack right after bragging about not caring and welcoming it even. And the comments weren't even that bad...one person asked her to explain her defense of the LongCon in her own words, and she lost it lol. Said she'd already explained it enough times in the past and got all defensive.

Nora's comments are also open, and I was surprised to see she doesn't seem to delete many or any comments that are critical of her or Reese or Tommy. The last several lives she has done, there are plenty of critical comments about Reese and Tommy she has left up. She is taking a break now but made a post about Aaron's expose video and also apologized for defending the rapist Tommy. She admitted she had never read the docs until recently and realized he is a rapist. There are lots of comments there too.

Aaron made a video exposing Tommy as a rapist and of course comments are up.

All this to say, the comments sections are interesting and if you've been wanting to say anything now seems like a good time. So if you don't want to watch, sharing a comment is a good way to still engage with those reading...lots of eyeballs right now...

In other news, I know some has already been discussed, Goot has defected and wished Reese a happy b day and stood with Lindsay, Knife Hoarder left YT, Marilyn dumped Goot which made KH dump Marilyn, we all know Marilyn dumped Aaron and George dumped Marilyn. A lot of dumping going on on top of the dumping. I still think Marilyn amd Aaron might make up.

There's even more happening but those are a few things.

As a mod I’ve noticed posts and comments getting flagged by Reddit and it’s happening more frequently. Just be mindful when you discuss things like Tommy’s crimes that you may have to use words in disguise, like ‘grape’ or you risk that your post or comment could get deleted by the bots. In some cases we can reverse the action, but sometimes we can’t restore and approve the comment or post.

Reese really hit the jackpot after ASL’s vid on Tommy. The superchats were coming in big time and she probably made more on this stream than her bday. It’s sad and sickening how much she gains for playing the victim

Please indulge me. I have watched the anti-Scientology people off and on for years but haven't watched Reese since her big reveal (the video where she plays Tommy admitting he scams women). I was sick this week and thus had lots of time for YouTube, and it sounds like she's back with him and living in Ecuador??

I'm watching ASL live from today where he's talking about them and I have to admit I have the same question he does, why did she go back?

I just skimmed this sub and saw someone mention possible blackmail by Tommy over (presumably naughty) pics she sent him. Aaron says it's because they're co-scamming. Either sounds plausible.

Just curious if anyone knows why she went back and/or what reason she has given for going back.

I know you all read these posts. So here’s what I want to say. 

“In the digital world, the opposite of love isn't hate—it's indifference. The only thing a highly skilled online manipulator genuinely fears is being ignored, because when the hate-watchers finally get bored and stop tuning in, the channel's metrics collapse.”

Are you two drama/hate channels? Or are you legitimate?

Either way, KH is done. GJ is done. Who else is giving them attention? They are desperate for content - can you stop spoon-feeding it to them, please?

RR is a master manipulator. 

Nora is being used because she is reactive. The ex is being used because she is as dumb as a brick. The only thing they have in common is creating hate content about ASL, JM, and MH. I mean, my God, Nora is teaming up with a racist homophobe and supporting a r*pist. RR is love-bombing Lara (sp?) right now and trying to collect anyone else who may stir up drama. And we all know she can stir her chat into a super chatting frenzy. 

And maybe you like the drama content. Or maybe your pride sees this as a challenge. But for crying out loud, why would you drop the caliber of your opponents to these three? What an icky group of women. I personally see it as desperate. 

When KH and GJ quit, RR exclaimed that she won. Except she didn’t. She lost that content. Because her only content is being a victim. 

So this isn’t a commentary on ASL, MH, or JM, because I know people have their opinions of you and I don’t know all that history. It’s just about you all sinking to the lowest common denominator which is Relatable Reese. 

To the "safe community" chat group:

Take a step back and look at what you are actually doing right now.

For years, this woman sat in this exact same chat with you. She shared her faith, she conversed with you, and she financially supported this channel with her own money. For years, you all accepted her presence, her kindness, and her donations without a single complaint.

Now, the moment she privately expresses a boundary and politely chooses to step away, you have instantly turned on her like a pack of wolves. You are calling her names, mocking her faith, and kicking someone who isn’t even here to defend herself.

Ask yourself, why did it take the creator reading a private email for you to suddenly decide she was a 'holy roller'? Are you attacking her because you genuinely dislike her, or are you just performing loyalty to the creator because you are terrified of being the next one targeted?

Is this what a 'safe space' looks like to you?

The creator just proved that privacy, loyalty, and history mean absolutely nothing here. The second you disagree, stop paying, or try to leave, your private messages will be used as content fodder, and this mob will be unleashed on you, too.

You aren't protecting a community right now; you are participating in a public bullying session of a vulnerable person. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves. Wake up and look at what you’ve become.

To Abigayle:

I am so sorry you had to go through that. What happened on that live stream was incredibly cruel, unfair, and a complete betrayal of your trust.

For years, you showed up, shared your faith, and generously supported that community. The fact that the creator took a private, honest email and exposed it to a crowd of people just to mock you is a reflection of their lack of character, not yours.

You did nothing wrong by setting a boundary and deciding to step back. In fact, your instinct to walk away because of 'the company they keep' was completely right. You sensed that the environment wasn't truly safe or aligned with your values, and you were brave enough to say so.

Please remember that the mean words they called you do not define you. They are just words from a mob of strangers who don't actually know your heart, your life, or your relationship with God.

Your generosity was real, even if they didn't deserve it. Do not let their ugly reaction make you regret being a giving person. They do not deserve another second of your time, your thoughts, or your money.

The best thing you can do right now for your own peace of mind is to completely close that chapter. Block the channel, block the creator, and don't go back to look at the comments. They are not your people.

Take a deep breath and reconnect with real-world communities—whether that is a local church, family, or friends—where you are valued for who you are, not for what you pay. You deserve real safety, real respect, and real care.

I'm so sorry that this happened to any of you. If she releases your personal information online you can report it to authorities. I've been hurt by people very much like this. It means you have a good heart and she wouldn't know what a heart looks like.

It's a difficult lesson but it's something to learn from. RR has to be one of the worst examples of psychological abuse that I have witnessed.

I don't know what to think about the people that excuse her behavior. Are they as unhinged and mean as she is or is it just a show only they don't realize that very real people have been hurt.

Are you a supporter? You should really ask yourself some important questions about your morals and what you are willing to accept from others.

We welcome anyone that feels left out or abuse by her. We have been there before.
