Downfall of YouTuber I'm Alex

YouTuber I'm Alex is facing one of the worst downfalls in YouTube history with this Channel's losing over 160,000 subscribers within just 2 weeks this comes after his ex-girlfriend Alis hez published extensive evidence of mistreatment abuse and harassment she received over the course of their relationship this has exposed the side of him that he kept hidden from his fan base which is ironic considering his entire career is based around creating expose content on other YouTubers and internet personalities hi I'm the internet an I create weekly YouTube documentaries and today we'll be looking into the disturbing downfall of Alex Elmsley also known as I'm Alex on the 15th of June 2024 Alis made a post on Twitter stating here's my statement on the situation I've been scared to speak out on it's best it was made public how horrible this person with a platform is I'd hate to see another woman go through this this post also included a Google Drive Link which contains a number of audio and video files featuring Alex alongside that it also contained an 80 plus Page Long document with dozens of statements detailing the abuse Ellis endured alongside the screenshots and pictures to prove these allegations the document opens up with a trigger warning for sex assault suicide depression and assault following this the first major accusation against Alex is that he tried to Blackmail Alice into staying quiet about the whole situation in her words I've been threatened by Alex to not come out with anything at all and to keep quiet or he'll create a contradicting story to discredit my own but I'm not scared anymore and as we'll see later this accusation is disturbingly close to the truth Ellice also mentioned how she officially began dating Alex in March of last year and later revealed that they broke up in December of 2023 so the relationship only lasted about 9 months in total now that's just 9 months but with the shin number and severity of the accusations in this document it almost makes it unbelievable that it all went down in less than a year that being said the first issue Ellis faced was Alex's constant need for attention he expected her to be available for Discord calls 24/7 and she states Alex felt that because I'm home all day and work from home that I would be able to call 24/7 and to completely shut out any other social interactions I have with my friends and when she couldn't join a call because she was busy elsewhere like with friends or family Alex would emotionally blackmail her saying things like guess everyone has got something better to do or no one wants me either that or he would get angry and start dishing out a barrage of insult idiot you text like a [ __ ] so call me you're stupid and if Ellis tried to apologize and calm things down he'd stay hated and go as far as telling her to and calling her a c she further explains after screaming at me and calls and disregarding everything I've ever said he would explain how it's always my fault and that I should apologize that I should fix it and fight for him after he's made it worse by completely dehumanizing and degrading me what's extremely disturbing is Alice didn't use the term dehumanizing here as a medal for now when it's too [ __ ] late you admit you did everything [ __ ] wrong but when it actually matters when you should lay down like a good [ __ ] dog during this time Alice also found out that Not only was Alex keeping touch with several of his exes despite promising he wouldn't she also discovered that he was even stalking one of his previous girlfriends and still had her explicit images on his phone however this was only the start of Alex's Twisted Behavior towards Alice in July the two of them went on a holiday to Italy however what should have been an opportunity for the two of them to finally make up got ruined when according to Alice Alex started watching a video about quote a girl being hyper after trauma unquote which is a terribly disturbing notion on so many different levels so when Alice noticed the contents of this video she opened up to Alex about her own past essay related trauma however instead of consoling her or understanding her struggles Alex told her that he quote doesn't want to know what has been done to her by other guys unquote he also got angry and try to leave Alice on her own in a foreign country with no way of getting back home and even blamed her for ruining the trip after coming back and saying things like bringing up weird [ __ ] on our first holiday you ruined every moment as well as I have no fun memories with you however things got even worse for Alice when she asked Alex for advice about getting into Twitch streaming and expanding her online career instead of helping her in any meaningful way Alex just resed to belittling her for trying you're like everyone else stupid idiots who think they know better better than the only man who has done it all successfully as well as it's easy to sit there like everyone else and cry about it when you're a joess freak imagine trying to teach retards like you and my mates how to do this and give yourself I just told you how to make six figures so [ __ ] off they would even call Alice a quote dumb multiple times during this argument and while this is awful Alex managed to take things even further into the realm of depravity for some context many years ago Alex posted a video in which he criticized tenim Mojo use of a racial slur by saying the nword out loud himself he later apologized for this and admitted that it was a dumb thing to do I deleted that video because I don't stand by that video and that video was and there's no excuses for that video that I made most bought this apology as genuine with comments reading as a black person I think he was genuinely sorry in his apology you could tell he was ashamed that doesn't excuse the fact he said it at all but from the looks of things it's clear that his use of the n-word wasn't a dumb mistake but rather a deliberate choice this is because Alex seems to have no issues about using the n-word as an insult to his girlfriend if you're already disgusted by Alex's emotional manipulation gaslighting and condescension it gets even worse because these usual insults quickly escalated into threats of physical violence with Alex telling Alice to quote die in a hole and kill herself and even directly threatening her by saying things like I'm going to kill you and I'm going to break your neck Alice also managed to record one of these horrible threats he made during a video call acting like this is all just me and that's something you really need to fix I'm going to bash your head against the wall with a brick if you don't shut the up after putting up with these threats and constant abuse for a bit over 9 months Ellis finally decided that enough was enough and broke up with Alex on the 28th of December 2023 she d the events leading up to this breakup in the document she shared with everyone on Twitter according to her statements on the day of the breakup Alex asked if he could help with any house chores she told him to clean the sides of the kitchen cabinets and take out the bins but instead of doing the tasks he asked for he started screaming at her for giving him more than one task and telling her that he couldn't handle more than one at a time and as Alice tried to walk away to avoid any further escalation Alex crossed a major line he allegedly became physically violent according to the a document in Alice's Google Drive Alex kicked her in the back nearly making her fall to the ground at this point Alice was scared out of her mind and was panicking she was afraid that Alex would hit her again so she started recording on her phone just in case all the while Alex began following her around insulting her further and trying to incite another argument during his rambling he also says that he's the one who pays for everything so what Alice has to say doesn't matter one bit after Alice left he also began threatening to throw her her remaining stuff out including her PC setup worth over £4,000 she quickly returned to take it back but it was too late her setup was on the floor in pieces the keyboard was broken and scattered everywhere and both her monitor screens were also smashed to bits from what we've seen so far there's plenty of evidence to show just how abusive Alex had been towards Alice since the very beginning of their relationship yet something completely surprising happened after the breakup but simply Alex suddenly turned into a new man or at Le at least that's what he began saying sing that he quote wants to make stuff better and that he quote wants everything to be normal again by this point Alice wanted nothing to do with him so she began ignoring him completely and even blocked his number which is a clear indicator that she did not want to discuss anything with him however Alex kept messaging her on different social platforms including ones she made for a cat in hopes of gaining her attention he even sent her a 24-minute long voice note crying admitting fault and begging Ellis to give him another chance i' convinced myself that you're looking you always looking for a way out when in reality you just wanted me to be normal you don't want my money you don't want anything from me apart from me to just be what I could be all the time and I'm so sorry Alice when that didn't work he tried sending her a gift through Amazon with an apology message reading I'm deeply sorry for upsetting you and letting you down constantly I hope one day you can forgive me and we can talk he even tried the pre- internet technique of sending a handwritten letter to Alice reading dear Alice I'm so sorry for not fixing my behavior before and I understand this might be too late or too little you are the love of my life and I will never forgive myself for hurting you during this time Alice began posting things on Twitter and other social media platforms relating to domestic abuse and toxic relationships now if someone suddenly starts making these kinds of posts it's natural for people to assume they've experienced something similar these posts can come across as a subtle Cry for Help a way to share their struggles without openly announcing them to everyone and since many of Alex's subscribers knew about his relationship with Alis they' likely start asking questions to avoid such a situation Alex tried to talk Alice into keeping their matters hidden by saying stuff like we have a right to a private lie and that quote venting to your friends I understand but this makes this whole situation harder for both of us and takes it to an unneeded place but when Alice refused to cooperate one bit Alex changed his approach and adopted a more threatening tone saying things like if you keep posting this stuff it'll end up being a huge problem this is also where he began threatening to make up a counter story that Alice mentioned near the start of this document Alex I don't want to talk about you hitting me and I found the text about the Cat Alice because I didn't and you'd be lying Alex when you said you punched me Alice I didn't punch you over a cat is this you saying you're going to use that Alex no I'm not but right now you're pushing against me before Alex could make up any stories about what quote actually happened Alice decided to come forward with her story and all the evidence she' gathered over the months which brings us back to June 15th when Alice made the Twitter post that started this whole controversy as soon as the post went live people started voicing their support for Alice with a tweet from Wonder struck reading just finished reading through the drive genuinely deplorable Behavior I sincerely do apologize for the volatile behavior that was directed towards you with another user tweeting I'm literally shivering after seeing all this more love and support to you please take care of yourself the YouTube Community is completely on Alice's side as well to the point that there isn't a single person on YouTube who's defending Alex's actions it's important to note that a big reason why everyone's unanimously taking Alice's side is because the evidence she's published leaves no room for doubt there are dozens of texts of Alex calling her all kinds of horrible names and clips of him calling her a dog and threatening to smash her head against a wall with a brick that's some pretty deplorable stuff and while everyone else on the internet was bashing Alex's Behavior towards his ex-girlfriend two of his friends also came forwards with statements condemning his actions mimus made a post on Instagram stating I'm aware of the Alex situation I would usually wait until both parties have set their side publicly before speaking out but I think the evidence here is overwhelming I spent this morning reading what Alice has written and going over the evidence she has provided and no one should have to go through what she has it's awful and disturbing and has seriously shocked me I'm still processing what's happened this is one of the worst situations I've ever seen in my life and I hope Alice is okay it took a lot of courage to speak out about this willan e also took a similar stance and completely sided with Alice but also made a shocking Revelation firstly I really hope Alice is doing well and commender massively for Having the courage to get that out there as Mia mentioned there were rumors of his behavior earlier last year myself and a few others hadn't had contact with him since or been his friend for even longer with that being said the severity of the abuse that Alice published was far worse than anything I'd heard being discussed and what he put her through is inexcusable in other words people close to Alex already knew about his toxic traits or at least had suspicions but chose to ignore the matter until Alice came forward with her complete story well not everyone according to Will's ex Mia xmon she and Alex were signed to the same YouTube talent agency up until last year for those of you who don't know a YouTube talent agency is a company who helps them find sponsors in their videos but when she became aware of the abuse back in June of 2023 she forwarded the information to the agency and pressured them into dropping Alex which they did and while most see this as a good thing some are calling me as moral compass into question with a tweet reading isn't she just as bad as everyone else who knew by staying silent I feel like we can't criticize everyone else and give her praise because she also knew about it and didn't say anything public publicly but as someone else points out it's the victim story what if Alice wasn't ready to share It ultimately it is a very complex situation with no clear answer though in light of Ellis's bravery a couple other victims of Alex have also come forward detailing their horrible experiences with him the first of these is his ex-girlfriend Jess Carter who replied to Alice's tweet talking about how she had to Ure similar treatment from Alex she also posted a screenshot of texts one of her friends received from Alex back in 2019 which includes mess is like I'm going to K her head in might kill her might actually kill her when talking about Jess so from the looks of things the threats of physical violence towards his romantic partner aren't exactly a new thing and have been part of Alex's personality for a long time and just like with Ellis people were quick to come forward to support Jess at the same time a YouTuber by the name of King Annie also came forward about her horrible experience with Alex but instead of receiving support like Ellis and Jess she's getting immense backlash for something she did alongside Alex about about 4 years ago the context in mid 2019 the YouTuber slazo's ex-girlfriend Shay published a tweet longer accompanied by screenshots in which she accused slazer of being controlling manipulative and abusive a few weeks later slazer made a video titled my side where he showed the screenshots the proof everything he proved that he did not abuse her he didn't force her to do anything and he was just an immature boyfriend in other words the accusations against him were completely off Bas and inaccurate despite this some people still kept saying that slazo was in the wrong most notably King Annie in the end these false allegations completely ruined slazo's career and forced him to quit YouTube entirely soon after so now that the allegations against Alex came out king Annie came out and blamed the entire slazo situation on Alex as well with a post reading we started to realize that when there was even the smallest amount of drama and he heard about it he would make sure to involve himself even if the subject had absolutely nothing to do with him and he would just make everything so much worse for example the slazer situation though it was never said in the original statements by Shay he somehow came to the conclusion that it was and everyone else got the blame for saying his words however people are not willing to let King Annie declare herself as a victim in the slazer situation with a post from wavy web surf reading you helped spread those slazer allegations don't try to slink out of that you heard a rumor did zero vetting and went with it take some accountability for what happened you cosigned that story some don't even want to acknowledge her as a victim of Alex's toxic Tendencies with a tweet reading and now they're trying to take a piece of the victim pie Alice is the victim not her what should have been a straightforward story of a domestic victim coming out to the world has turned into a web of drama which somehow involves multiple YouTubers and instance from over 4 years ago this has also made it quite difficult to predict where the situation will go from here the biggest unknown factor in this regard however is Alex's response or lack thereof at the time of writing this video Alex has not yet responded to Alice's allegations in any shape or form the video of him threatening to smash his girlfriend's head is enough to sink his career on its own not to mention the remaining videos and dozens of screenshots proving the points Alice has brought up against him some speculate he'll make a halfast apology and try to play the bad mental health card but given the severity of the situation that'll only enrage more people in all honesty it would be a miracle if he somehow managed to keep even 10% of his audience since there's nothing he can say or do that will restore his reputation at this point which is exactly the sort of situation Illuminati has found herself in as well click the video on screen to find out more
