Seriously, I didn't even know who I was watching. I've been watching her for a year before literally yesterday seeing her video where she talks about her groomer.
She slipped into the niche of book commentary which fits perfectly, because she knows a lot about abuse, and can eagerly call it out in the 'dark romance' genres. What a queen
Choking statistically leads to murder. The moment partner abuse crosses into choking, the woman is just one bad day away from being killed. I'm so glad she got away from him.

@@thelastmotel www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2573025/ hi! not og commenter but i found this study from the 90s (pretty old), theres also numerous articles stating that the chances of being murdered by their partner increase 750 percent after their partner strangles them however idk where that stat came from. and this is just my own personal tidbit and i havent kept a genuine score: when looking at cases where a womans partner kills her, if you look into the relationship there is often abuse. additionally it is very easy to strangle someone to death despite intending to just cause temporary harm. hope that all makes sense!

Poor girl, the fact he profited off her and wasn’t paying her is insane. And having her still go to her job to “teach her a lesson” like he’s her father is…yikes. I’m glad she’s away from him.
Yeah im glad she managed to get away from him. Getting out of abusive relationships especially ones you were groomed into. Is really difficult Also Ignore the negative replys they just shitty bait or dumb fans who are trying cope that they incidently supported a groomer.
@@megami215 he used her body for views and only got popular because of her! She should have been paid for her time. He used and abused her… the fact you could say something so disgusting shows you are a disappointment
the change in his tone when she revealed the truth is terrifying, he swears a lot, he calls her Irrelevant and then it cuts to him being calm and saying he has proof, he realized that his true abusive personality came out.
She broke up, then threw hints at everyone online, just to suddenly claim he has been abusive. His response seems fairly resonable after such accusations.. To this point all there is are her accusations, no proof from what I can tell, it's shocking how one sided everything is.
She's doing a lot better thankfully but she has a tendency to bring him up in a lot of her videos. I watch someone else's recap on their past, its like a few month old And to this day sometimes she still does mention him in her videos, which probably shows that the trauma was really heavy and she's not 100% able to let go.
@@selectidiot that’s a wierd thing to say about someone with trauma. “They just want fame” she already has it and she got ABUSED that’s not something you can easily forget

I literally found out about Nicole before all this I never saw her or the Arcade Craniacs channel before this year. She seems like she’s healing well from her trauma:)
i love that her videos also aren’t super editing-heavy, it makes it easy to just put on a video and listen to it while cleaning or doing mundane stuff at work etc

i hate people who cry like that and go about saying how they’re a terrible person. it’s such an obvious way to get people to pity you. yes you can genuinely feel like this, but if this is your apology or admittance, especially if you know you were in the wrong, it’s gross.
Narcissism at its finest, & they cant even tell they’re being obvious about it lmao. Why cry now, why not “change” before? All bs to me, just want pity lol
@Betsy if they’re being genuine, then they own up to their mistakes and apologies for them, not talk about what horrible people they are. Crying can make everyone else feel uncomfortable at their self-pitying displays, and it shows you’re just trying to manipulate people, intentionally or not.
It's crazy how the content we curiously watch from these people have an army of skeletons in their closet. It honestly sucks Nicole had to deal with Edward's abuse, and even sucked that Edward had to turn to a life of abuse and alcohol. We'll probably never know what made Edward turned to alcohol and corruption, just a terrible downfall from him honestly. It's good to know Nicole has left him, and is doing much better now.
Yup, even I have skeletons in my closet, I'm extremely immature, I have weird fetishes, I have a horrible boiling temper, I'm selfish, I'm opinionated and I am more vengeful than anyone
The irony of him pretending to have a heart attack in the parody video, then uses that exact tactic to try and manipulate nikki into staying with him is absurdly embarassing
I just want to say that the recount of Edward telling Nikki to hit him whilst drunk driving and actingly recklessly, true or not, sounds a lot like reactionary abuse. He was threatening both of their lives and sending a traumatised young woman into panic. And not only that, but she just hit him on the leg whilst she was left black and blue? And that's supposed to be his defence? Disgusting. I hope all the best to Nikki and that she can find happiness in her new life.
these two went through so much since the beginning. i used to skate with nikki back in 2018-2019. i always wished the best for her cause this guy was raising hell in her life. im sure it wasn’t easy but im glad to see she’s moving on.
there’s a situation really similar to this at my local park.. it fucking sucks man. we all know its happening, and we wanna figure out how to help. but the exception is this girl doesn’t see a problem with how her boyfriend acts. we’ve all talked ab jumping him to try and do something about it, but we don’t wanna make it worse for her either.
@@RustyRants unfortunately there's no much you can do in that situation. I'd beat the shit out of the guy just for the hell of it but let's be honest that won't really solve anything

@@FigureCollectshe dated and was sexually involved with Nikki when she was 17, cheated on her, encouraged her alcoholism as a minor, abused her physically and emotionally, one time sexually assaulted her (purposefully didn’t pull out with the intent to impregnate her) Overall A LOT. I’d suggest watching her video on it.
Fascinatingly, I found Nikki's channel today, having zero clue about any of this stuff. Theres no real trace of what happened here on her channel, and it seems like she's really moved on! Honestly im happy for her, she's very well spoken and her content is solid (: EDIT: I realized after commenting this that the account I found wasnt her original channel, but a side channel of hers that was once true crime and is now just discussing things from around the internet. Regardless my opinion still stands
Yeah she brings it up sometimes and I didn’t think about it being Edward because I knew so little of him (I was like ten when I watched craniacs and I honestly didn’t even remember if they were in a relationship or not) So gross. Nikki is so amazing and I’m so happy she’s doing her own thing now
nikki genuinely deserved so so much better, and after i watched her video about edward, im so disgusted. she had been groomed once before, and he all he did was take advantage of her, use her, and she literally said she wanted to genuinely hurt herself because of this. i feel so so horrible for everything she was put through and i’m so glad shes happier now :(
@@BuggaBoy69 people like him, especially when anger turns into such physical abuse and they don't receive any reaction from the other side, do not hesitate to take the violence even further, thinking that they have been given consent. because this is a sign of power and authority for them. of course, we can't be sure who is right since there is a lack of evidence in the accusations presented by both parties, but this is a behavior seen in some people who are manipulative in their relationship 🤷♀🤷♀
She seems super awesome, friendly and really cute. She did not deserve the bullshit that she went through. Im glad she was able to get away from this and hopefully is happier now.
This is depressing, when this goldmine of a meme channel is actually just a front and their toxic relationship. This channel got me through Covid with laughs and silly memes. I hope the best for Nicole and it was fun ride and honestly rewatching their videos now feels hollow.
@@Tw0Dots Why are you worrying about my sub count? I have a channel with 8k subs I just use this account to comment. And I wouldn't say that he's more successful than me, I haven't abused anyone
@@whosflair3716 I’m talking about Nicole, just like you were. Idgaf about the weird abusive guy, everyone’s response was in defense of Nicole. Don’t try to switch it up now just bc you deleted your comment 💀
when I was 13 I was groomed by a 21 year old and his mid twenties gf tried to fight me, too, in a Hot Topic of all things. I cannot believe this has happened twice lol. The urge to throw hands with minor prey of your SO in shops must be embedded in mallrat DNA.
I was 14 and he was 21. He was a neighbor of mine. This happens way too much. In my entire teenage era I’ve only met two guys who where freaked out by my age. One said something along the lines of “you’re a baby” and the other “You’re so young, I feel gross now” he’d still hang out with me but never made advances. Also when I was 12 this 35+ year old was sexually harassing me. I had issues in school for many reasons. The school thought I could do work education and I wanted to be a mechanic because I love cars. They found a shop that would be ok with that. And this super cool dude was teaching me how engines work. Unfortunately a creep tow truck driver wouldn’t leave me alone. The mechanic tried his best to keep me away but it was too distracting and disgusting for me to be able to focus on learning. It makes me so angry looking back. Like fuck you dude. Let a child learn about something they love in peace. Hope you’ve been able to find some happiness in life and move forward.
Is it just me or is there a new trend of teenage girls conenstually dating adult men? I swear I had a high school reunion when I was like 17 and half the girls I knew from that school were bragging about how they're dating 21 - 25 year olds and would proceed be offended by the grossed out look on the faces of the teachers and male students. All of them defended it saying "women just mature faster than guys so it's natural we date older men" and I just assumed that was some manipulative shit their bf told them to parrot but most of the girls I knew would actually defend them. Almost the exact same thing with my middle school reunion, 14 year old girls dating seniors who were like 17 - 19 years old. Can't even fathom what a 19 year old guy would talk to a 14 year old girl about to be honest. From a man's perspective it's always been relatively obvious the only reason for these massive age gaps and college guys dating teenagers is because theyre not attractive enough to actually date someone their own age so they need to go after someone they can easily manipulate or impress with their "freedom" and "maturity" so it's no surprise the type of guys who usually do this look like... Well, this guy. When I was 17 I couldn't imagine dating someone who was even in their early 20s. Would just feel like they're a completely different person that I could never relate to or feel "equal" to, especially considering at that young of an age I felt like I couldn't even recognize my 16 year old self compared to my 17 year old self with how rapidly you mentally develop at that age. I get the feeling that women don't really feel that way and mistake teenage boys humor and lack of confidence as "immaturity" so they gravitate towards these kinds of men, thinking they are their equal while actually being manipulated the whole time.
@@lucian5389 I had a 16 year old open a video chat in which she was entirely naked and doing things. I threw that phone into a bonfire. I never made a move on her and always kept tried to keep it respectful, be friendly, and give explanations about adult life to her so she could prepare herself accordingly. Unfortunately not being available is almost as much as an aphrodisiac as being married or having a criminal record/warrants. Or so it seems. For guys chasity and youth are commodities. Unfortunately very few of us can do the right thing. Especially when it's offered up. The top earners, charismatic, and handsome tend to have chicks throwing themselves at them for security, illicit substances, a ride, and or to feel secure. For a well balanced and self respecting man when you find out the girl your dating would blow guys for a ride to the mall and a bottle of vodka it diminishes perceived value.
Woman: I broke up with this guy because he was a bad boyfriend Man: It was my fault, I was a bad boyfriend His followers: Noooo you'll find someone better you deserve the world king ??? What
The Best part was Edward started his career with a video of him making fun of a dude crying over a break up . Then in the end it's him doing the same thing.
If I had a nickel for every time a TH-camr relationship fell apart involving someone named Nicole and one of the people in the relationship physically blocking the exit to their home and abusing their partner, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's horrifying that it's happened twice.
@@Jewel_Screaming_Chango8387 If someones name starts with an A its always cursed- like literally everyone I've met with an A name has been in a toxic relationship with a partner.
ill never get over the fact that even after nikki posted her video of the abusve WITH proof, that on his social media people continued to defend him. i remember reading a comment section on his tiktok where people said they would basically keep defending him, or like "does the king reply", he had all sorts of things to say i swear
Building an entire relationship around your public brand for the entire world to see is about as good an idea as getting a tattoo of the name of that one cashier at wall mart because she said she liked your shirt that one time.
@Sha Money The Best Rapper Ever Yeah, I've been to plenty of sleepovers where my friends and I drank/got high but miraculously, none of them have ever violated my consent by filming a video of me while I'm not aware. Crazy how normal, well adjusted people behave normally.
OMG I'VE BEEN WATCHING NIKKI FOR MONTHS AND HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS THE GIRL FROM ARCANE CRANIACS!!!! She seems comfortable in her videos and I'm sure she's doing better I love her sm ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm always amazed at the number of super famous people I have never heard of. It's honestly amazing to see entire sub cultures I could never imagine existed
this entire thing is absolutely so sick and I feel very bad for Nikki so much, she didn't deserve any of this and hope she's a good rest of her life. :(
This whole ordeal just goes to show that nobody is who they seem to be. I genuinely loved the Arcade Craniacs channel, despite not really watching any of their content. I was a fan of the ironic 3am shitpost style content. Sucks ass that this is the reality of it all.
The only difference being Scott owns up to his actions and truly apologizes, which honestly I appreciated as a Canadian teen who was groomed. Edward could never
Ew ew EW I’m SO happy and proud of her for getting out of this relationship. It’s not easy getting out of abusive relationships especially when it results into other people turning against you. I had no idea any of this was happening ): I’m happy for her and will happily support her content ❤️
It's so common and the vast majority of the time girls won't even pursue anything because they just want to forget about it. Predators know this and thats why they get away with things so often
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 Alcoholism is about 40% genetics, 60% environment. Seems like a typical sociopathic, self-obsessed narcissist. Narcissistic personality disorder is one of the only mental illnesses that actively harms those around them over themselves. If he's anything like my ex, he "got help" by trying to pick up more underage vulnerable girls in rehabs and overdosed and died.
Nikki is actually kinda killing it with weird movie reviews/emo kid nostalgia stuff, it's pretty obvious where the humor/personality of their channel came from. Without her no one cares about that dude (what's his name?)
The downfall of this channel (Arcade Craniacs) was so disappointing. I remember me and my younger brother bonding over watching them and we would always sit and watch it together as soon as they uploaded. They really seemed like genuine and decent people at first, but I guess that's just when the camera was rolling.
Woahh that live from Edward…Being with somebody that is that self deprecating is so draining you start feeling responsible for their emotional outbursts wanting to avoid them. People like that are pathetic & suffocating drama just follows them.
i feel so sad for nikki :( i was groomed and also choked out against a wall by my groomer so this resonates extra hard with me in some ways. leaving your abuser is one of the hardest things to do. genuinely hope she finds peace, healing and happiness and that her new boyfriend is treating her well ❤️
it honestly makes me so sick and upset with what happened. Im so happy that Nikki is doing well now. I hope you guys all continue to support her aswell :(
my abusive ex boyfriend was a huge fan of Edward, and ironically enough kind of looked like him. not only that, but he has the same sense of humor as edward. my heart goes out to Nicole and I hope she's in a better place mentally and healing from what she went through. it's so destroying to go through what she did, especially for as long as she was in a relationship with him. I hope she's doing well now.
I'm sorry, but it troubles me how people can't just look at this guy and tell he's a POS. You looked at this guy's face and thought "oh wow what a nice dude". HOW? Why is everyone's radar so garbage? Seriously I need to know, because for some reason I don't have any problem just seeing one video from someone and knowing when he's bad news. Whether it's because they're fcked up in the head sexually or have issues with violence, or both. Why tf can other people not pick up on these things? I need to know what exactly YOU THINK made your brain say "this is a harmless guy", please can you answer this for me because I'm going nuts hearing all these comments that "they never could have expected this". Just fcking look at him! How could you NOT expect it coming from him? He has insecure slimeball written all over his face to me, but everyone else seems to see "oh what a silly harmless guy lol". I feel like I'm in 'They Live' but I'm the only one with the damn sunglasses.
im on Nicoles side. her behaviors match up with being groomed. I was groomed a lot during middle school and its all too familiar. especially his initial regret then changing into anger. like this kind of abuse is everywhere and no one ever believes us. its disgusting. and with trying to go back into the toxic relationship is also textbook. narcissistic abuse etc really needs to be listened to. anyway thank u for making this video. edit: still watching and once you get involved somehow in sexual abuse. it usually happens again. for me it started when I was 2 and up until 3 years ago one had countless interactions. having trauma especially parental trauma makes someone reach for love other ways. its a very complicated cycle with millions of variations and I really can't stress enough how important these kinds of issues really matter. EDIT 2 OMG THANK U FOR TALKING ABOUT LOVE BOMGINGGG OMG like ive been studying psychology for so long and irl people just don't know how they effect others so I just get so happy when people are informativeeee
@@macaco8899 don't worry about it! this kind of attention seeking behavior is also a form of childhood trauma showing itself. these types of people people please to the point that they tend to not have any thoughts for themselves. so in my opinion its just sad and pretty easy to ignore and forget about :D
@@Devils1234 Okay, im going to actually educate you, the first person I am doing this to. That was not just sleep, you can tell she was knocked out from alcohol, and he had multiple videos of it, it wasn't her sleeping regularly, you know what this leads to? sexual assault and rape. Just because a lot of 'guys' do it does not give you a medal, in fact if you make this all about men one day men won't even have their rights anymore because of these statements. It is illegal to intoxicate a minor no matter if they are near the age of 18. And it is also illegal to have sexual intercourse with them under 18. Notice how edward was 23? He could get charged for that. He also left hickeys on her neck, and because of that if he still kept that video it would have counted as child pornography because she was a minor at that time. Grow up. There is no such thing as 'masuclinity' if all you are going to do is abuse it, there is no such thing as even being rich if you are ruining the economy. How about you get over a girl speaking up for herself. You little boys shouldn't be on the internet if you are gonna act unmannerly.
I dropped a friend of almost ten years when she started dating a 14 year old boy when she was 20. No matter the length, capacity, or depth of a relationship, cut pedophiles out. I would’ve called the cops on her if she made more attempts to meet up with him in person, as they lived in separate states. Worse part - both of their parents knew about this.
Thank you for covering this. I was with someone so similar to this man, threats to kill himself, extreme emotion outbursts for pity, the manipulation cycle is so hard to break. I’m glad she’s doing better in life now, no one deserves to go through a relationship like that.
This whole situation only reminds me of that one video that Spoctor made about Arcade Craniacs way back when. Each passing day that video ages worse and worse.
Same, because Stampy, Iballistic Squid, and Squaishy were my entire childhood and I tried to make a water coaster in my own minecraft world just like them
I think the fact that he came out blaming himself at first is very telling about his side of the story. For someone who has been described as such a manipulative, insincere narcissist, it would seem like he would have blamed her unless he knew he had a losing position.
I've dealt with narcissists and they 100% blame the other person 100% of the time for 100% of everything. Also I don't trust anyone who's able to quickly move on from a relationship emotionless and straight-faced, it's common for narcissists to "stop feeling it" before a discard as soon as they find new supply, and later on tell it like it's some cute or spicy quirky story and use it to gain a new following or recruit a new circlejerk around themselves. It's also common for narcissists and other cluster bs to accuse a former partner of sexual abuse or something else like that, it's all part of the public smear campaign which cluster bs commonly do after a discard, falling out, or breakup. Also Nikki does have the uncomfortable "stare" commonly associated with Cluster B and seems very much in love with herself. Edward comes across as a shitty douchebag himself, so it's not like I'm sucking his dick and I am sure he did share some of the blame, but Nikki is hardly the trustworthy type in my experience. Honestly, from my perspective Edward and Nikki's relationship was a "two to tango" situation, but Nikki is using it for her own gain.
Edward reminds me SO much of my ex-boyfriend of a year. These behaviors and relationships are so much more common and likely than most people think. :(
Even so honestly I know it sounds fucked up this is tame compared to a lot of what I seen and heard off I guarantee this fucked up relationships going on that we couldn’t even imagine and will probably know about because the victim is so traumatized or they take it to the grave
@@thelimon4338 yup she sounds like about half the chicks I knew from my high school, all of a sudden the age difference becomes a problem and they snap out when they realize how much of a scumbag they are, but all the way through high school they saw absolutely nothing wrong with dating a literal adult. Knew a guy who got arrested for just that actually, he was my weed guy and one day when I was smoking at his place he gets a knock at the door and just didn't come back. This happened a few years back and from what I know he's still in jail bcs he had weed in his pockets when he got searched and copped a charge for "distributing to a minor" or some shit because his girlfriend (now of age) admitted to smoking with him when she was young.
@@CA-vy8et gotta admit, it reminds me of myself as well although i was not abusive in anyway, i can't deny that many of my fears of being alone (which in turn made me into someone who was sorta toxic in terms of co-dependency, etc) had me repeat some of his behaviors that he had (such as threatning s*icid*, trying to contact her despite things being over, etc) to be fair tho i only did these things purely out of shock and feeling empty after finding out she cheated on me (not that i justify my behavior in any shape or form, just though i'd mention it) and i guess i was just sort of feeling mad about myself because of how she gaslighted me into thinking that nothing bad was happening (despite her doing things with her roommates, etc) and i let myself believe her and let her do that to me but yet i still wanted her because i didn't want to be alone, biggest mistake that i've made because it just showed how i'm willing to let anyone step all over me and not have the power to do anything about it 3 months later though, i gotta say she did me a good favor of breaking things off after i found out because i feel like i was able to recover mentally and now i ferel like i'm in a better mental state than how i was 3 months ago when i was with her where i would be constantly worrying alot because of how she treated me and letting it happen to me
I like to think that Karma gets returned in 10 fold, whether in immediately or in this case a nearly a decade later, Edward made fun of and mocked a guy over his break up, he ended up dragging himself through the mud and he became a clown. I'm so gladNikki is in a better place and relationship.
The complete change in voice from his stream to his story is honestly terrifying and enraging. His blatant manipulation tactics are so obvious its crazy how people fell for it and IMMEDIATELY started attacking her as she's more composed person just because she could handle herself better and not coddle him. People need to stop making such harmful assumptions based on surface level observations
i really love that nikki seems so much happier and is thriving with her own channel now. shes fuckin hilarious and deserves the views she gets. i dont know why anyone would believe edward. nikki seems like such a sweet and genuine person and its heartbreaking that she had to endure him all those years. it sounded like a nightmare.
Everything about this is just absolutely disgusting. Hearing all of this makes me sick laughing at the past videos they used to make together. I’m so glad Nicole could get away from all of this, and I wish nothing but the best for her.
I know it’s a she-said he-said argument when it comes to Nicole’s video, but it’s almost impossible for me to not believe her because of her sheer attention to detail. She made a video that could be the length of a film describing her experience. I sincerely doubt a liar would make a video of that length. My heart sincerely goes out to people who are victims of grooming and physical/sexual abuse.
She has a newer TH-cam channel now and is doing pretty good I would say. It's Nikki Carreon. She's really funny and has easily become one of my favorite TH-camrs. 🖤
i used to think these videos were pure, humorous satire and that nothing serious was going on. props to nikki for having to stick through this for so many years and finally standing up for herself
i just finally caught up on what happened after hearing briefly about their breakup (im not on instagram or tiktok anymore so im a bit out of the loop) but nikki is so so incredibly valid in how she dealt with this situation, it was so heartbreaking to hear all that she went through but im so incredibly proud of where she has gotten herself today. she’s very inspiring to me and she deserves all the support she’s gotten and sm more. her content now also suits her so well and i wish her the absolute best
Nikki has her own channel and she seems a lot happier. She’s also in a healthy and safe relationship now!

when I was 13 I was groomed by a 21 year old and his mid twenties gf tried to fight me, too, in a Hot Topic of all things. I cannot believe this has happened twice lol. The urge to throw hands with minor prey of your SO in shops must be embedded in mallrat DNA.
Obviously
I do not miss the drama of teenagers.
I was 14 and he was 21. He was a neighbor of mine.
This happens way too much. In my entire teenage era I’ve only met two guys who where freaked out by my age. One said something along the lines of “you’re a baby” and the other “You’re so young, I feel gross now” he’d still hang out with me but never made advances.
Also when I was 12 this 35+ year old was sexually harassing me. I had issues in school for many reasons. The school thought I could do work education and I wanted to be a mechanic because I love cars. They found a shop that would be ok with that. And this super cool dude was teaching me how engines work. Unfortunately a creep tow truck driver wouldn’t leave me alone. The mechanic tried his best to keep me away but it was too distracting and disgusting for me to be able to focus on learning. It makes me so angry looking back. Like fuck you dude. Let a child learn about something they love in peace.
Hope you’ve been able to find some happiness in life and move forward.
Is it just me or is there a new trend of teenage girls conenstually dating adult men? I swear I had a high school reunion when I was like 17 and half the girls I knew from that school were bragging about how they're dating 21 - 25 year olds and would proceed be offended by the grossed out look on the faces of the teachers and male students. All of them defended it saying "women just mature faster than guys so it's natural we date older men" and I just assumed that was some manipulative shit their bf told them to parrot but most of the girls I knew would actually defend them.
Almost the exact same thing with my middle school reunion, 14 year old girls dating seniors who were like 17 - 19 years old. Can't even fathom what a 19 year old guy would talk to a 14 year old girl about to be honest.
From a man's perspective it's always been relatively obvious the only reason for these massive age gaps and college guys dating teenagers is because theyre not attractive enough to actually date someone their own age so they need to go after someone they can easily manipulate or impress with their "freedom" and "maturity" so it's no surprise the type of guys who usually do this look like... Well, this guy.
When I was 17 I couldn't imagine dating someone who was even in their early 20s. Would just feel like they're a completely different person that I could never relate to or feel "equal" to, especially considering at that young of an age I felt like I couldn't even recognize my 16 year old self compared to my 17 year old self with how rapidly you mentally develop at that age.
I get the feeling that women don't really feel that way and mistake teenage boys humor and lack of confidence as "immaturity" so they gravitate towards these kinds of men, thinking they are their equal while actually being manipulated the whole time.
@@lucian5389 I had a 16 year old open a video chat in which she was entirely naked and doing things. I threw that phone into a bonfire. I never made a move on her and always kept tried to keep it respectful, be friendly, and give explanations about adult life to her so she could prepare herself accordingly. Unfortunately not being available is almost as much as an aphrodisiac as being married or having a criminal record/warrants. Or so it seems.
For guys chasity and youth are commodities. Unfortunately very few of us can do the right thing. Especially when it's offered up. The top earners, charismatic, and handsome tend to have chicks throwing themselves at them for security, illicit substances, a ride, and or to feel secure. For a well balanced and self respecting man when you find out the girl your dating would blow guys for a ride to the mall and a bottle of vodka it diminishes perceived value.

Wouldn't have expected this story to come from this dude of all people, I thought the dude was harmless but I was very wrong
I'm sorry, but it troubles me how people can't just look at this guy and tell he's a POS. You looked at this guy's face and thought "oh wow what a nice dude". HOW? Why is everyone's radar so garbage? Seriously I need to know, because for some reason I don't have any problem just seeing one video from someone and knowing when he's bad news. Whether it's because they're fcked up in the head sexually or have issues with violence, or both. Why tf can other people not pick up on these things?
I need to know what exactly YOU THINK made your brain say "this is a harmless guy", please can you answer this for me because I'm going nuts hearing all these comments that "they never could have expected this". Just fcking look at him! How could you NOT expect it coming from him? He has insecure slimeball written all over his face to me, but everyone else seems to see "oh what a silly harmless guy lol". I feel like I'm in 'They Live' but I'm the only one with the damn sunglasses.
It's almost always the people you'd never expect
I always had a bad feeling about him, but that was just me thinking that he was nothing but annoying
im on Nicoles side. her behaviors match up with being groomed. I was groomed a lot during middle school and its all too familiar. especially his initial regret then changing into anger. like this kind of abuse is everywhere and no one ever believes us. its disgusting. and with trying to go back into the toxic relationship is also textbook. narcissistic abuse etc really needs to be listened to. anyway thank u for making this video.
edit: still watching and once you get involved somehow in sexual abuse. it usually happens again. for me it started when I was 2 and up until 3 years ago one had countless interactions. having trauma especially parental trauma makes someone reach for love other ways. its a very complicated cycle with millions of variations and I really can't stress enough how important these kinds of issues really matter.

My friends and I used to watch this for *HOURS* every time we hung out in HS. We couldn't get enough of these guys.
Tom genuinely laughing to the demonic poop joke made my night
Edward filming her sleep was more sus than an impostor from among us 😳😟
Oh yea who does that oh i know serial killers and people who like to uhm S.A. women while they sleep
comedy
Alot of guys do this get over it!
@@Devils1234 he filmed his girlfriend sleeping and painting her nose as a joke, and people are acting like he's a literal serial kill3r for that.
@@Devils1234 Okay, im going to actually educate you, the first person I am doing this to. That was not just sleep, you can tell she was knocked out from alcohol, and he had multiple videos of it, it wasn't her sleeping regularly, you know what this leads to? sexual assault and rape. Just because a lot of 'guys' do it does not give you a medal, in fact if you make this all about men one day men won't even have their rights anymore because of these statements. It is illegal to intoxicate a minor no matter if they are near the age of 18. And it is also illegal to have sexual intercourse with them under 18. Notice how edward was 23? He could get charged for that. He also left hickeys on her neck, and because of that if he still kept that video it would have counted as child pornography because she was a minor at that time. Grow up. There is no such thing as 'masuclinity' if all you are going to do is abuse it, there is no such thing as even being rich if you are ruining the economy. How about you get over a girl speaking up for herself. You little boys shouldn't be on the internet if you are gonna act unmannerly.
Love you Tom been watching you for almost a year now. You're fucking great dude and I hope your mental health and life is good bro
Edward faked breaking up with Nicole to get donations, such a bad look. Everyone was calling him Edward the scammer lol
"Nicole, you know I'm a grown-ass man making these cringe-ass videos."
That line aged like fine wine
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀bruh
0:20 "save for a very select few here and there" then shows Felix and Marzia. Top tier relationship indeed.
I always love it when Tom reads something so unbelivable that he breaks character and starts laughing.
I dropped a friend of almost ten years when she started dating a 14 year old boy when she was 20. No matter the length, capacity, or depth of a relationship, cut pedophiles out. I would’ve called the cops on her if she made more attempts to meet up with him in person, as they lived in separate states. Worse part - both of their parents knew about this.
Is she in jail yet?
Thank you for covering this. I was with someone so similar to this man, threats to kill himself, extreme emotion outbursts for pity, the manipulation cycle is so hard to break. I’m glad she’s doing better in life now, no one deserves to go through a relationship like that.
But baby maybe you were his everything like my ex was too me... even thou I cheated I really really regret it
This whole situation only reminds me of that one video that Spoctor made about Arcade Craniacs way back when. Each passing day that video ages worse and worse.
This makes me glad I grew up with Stampy. He and Sqaishey are the best together.
Same, because Stampy, Iballistic Squid, and Squaishy were my entire childhood and I tried to make a water coaster in my own minecraft world just like them
Shes bloody beautiful. Anyone would be lucky to have her. Hop she finds someone as nice as she seems polite
"He has a fat ass and I wanna smack it" is the funniest thing I've ever heard
I think the fact that he came out blaming himself at first is very telling about his side of the story. For someone who has been described as such a manipulative, insincere narcissist, it would seem like he would have blamed her unless he knew he had a losing position.
I've dealt with narcissists and they 100% blame the other person 100% of the time for 100% of everything.
Also I don't trust anyone who's able to quickly move on from a relationship emotionless and straight-faced, it's common for narcissists to "stop feeling it" before a discard as soon as they find new supply, and later on tell it like it's some cute or spicy quirky story and use it to gain a new following or recruit a new circlejerk around themselves. It's also common for narcissists and other cluster bs to accuse a former partner of sexual abuse or something else like that, it's all part of the public smear campaign which cluster bs commonly do after a discard, falling out, or breakup.
Also Nikki does have the uncomfortable "stare" commonly associated with Cluster B and seems very much in love with herself.
Edward comes across as a shitty douchebag himself, so it's not like I'm sucking his dick and I am sure he did share some of the blame, but Nikki is hardly the trustworthy type in my experience. Honestly, from my perspective Edward and Nikki's relationship was a "two to tango" situation, but Nikki is using it for her own gain.
Edward reminds me SO much of my ex-boyfriend of a year. These behaviors and relationships are so much more common and likely than most people think. :(
Same. Just got out of it… this video reminded me a lot of it
Even so honestly I know it sounds fucked up this is tame compared to a lot of what I seen and heard off I guarantee this fucked up relationships going on that we couldn’t even imagine and will probably know about because the victim is so traumatized or they take it to the grave
Stop dating fked up guys.
@@thelimon4338 yup she sounds like about half the chicks I knew from my high school, all of a sudden the age difference becomes a problem and they snap out when they realize how much of a scumbag they are, but all the way through high school they saw absolutely nothing wrong with dating a literal adult.
Knew a guy who got arrested for just that actually, he was my weed guy and one day when I was smoking at his place he gets a knock at the door and just didn't come back. This happened a few years back and from what I know he's still in jail bcs he had weed in his pockets when he got searched and copped a charge for "distributing to a minor" or some shit because his girlfriend (now of age) admitted to smoking with him when she was young.
@@CA-vy8et gotta admit, it reminds me of myself as well
although i was not abusive in anyway, i can't deny that many of my fears of being alone (which in turn made me into someone who was sorta toxic in terms of co-dependency, etc) had me repeat some of his behaviors that he had (such as threatning s*icid*, trying to contact her despite things being over, etc)
to be fair tho i only did these things purely out of shock and feeling empty after finding out she cheated on me (not that i justify my behavior in any shape or form, just though i'd mention it)
and i guess i was just sort of feeling mad about myself because of how she gaslighted me into thinking that nothing bad was happening (despite her doing things with her roommates, etc) and i let myself believe her and let her do that to me but yet i still wanted her because i didn't want to be alone, biggest mistake that i've made because it just showed how i'm willing to let anyone step all over me and not have the power to do anything about it
3 months later though, i gotta say she did me a good favor of breaking things off after i found out because i feel like i was able to recover mentally and now i ferel like i'm in a better mental state than how i was 3 months ago when i was with her where i would be constantly worrying alot because of how she treated me and letting it happen to me
I genuinely hope Nikki is doing better, I feel so bad for her, going through this must have been AWFUL
You're almost there dude. Keep killing it. Super stoked for you. More Tom, we need more.
He really has a goof chance to really blow up in the commentary/video essay genre. His content is really top notch.
I like to think that Karma gets returned in 10 fold, whether in immediately or in this case a nearly a decade later, Edward made fun of and mocked a guy over his break up, he ended up dragging himself through the mud and he became a clown. I'm so gladNikki is in a better place and relationship.
The complete change in voice from his stream to his story is honestly terrifying and enraging.
His blatant manipulation tactics are so obvious its crazy how people fell for it and IMMEDIATELY started attacking her as she's more composed person just because she could handle herself better and not coddle him.
People need to stop making such harmful assumptions based on surface level observations
i really love that nikki seems so much happier and is thriving with her own channel now. shes fuckin hilarious and deserves the views she gets. i dont know why anyone would believe edward. nikki seems like such a sweet and genuine person and its heartbreaking that she had to endure him all those years. it sounded like a nightmare.
I love Nikki sm and her content and I feel terrible for her but I’m glad she’s out of this situation
Everything about this is just absolutely disgusting. Hearing all of this makes me sick laughing at the past videos they used to make together. I’m so glad Nicole could get away from all of this, and I wish nothing but the best for her.
I know it’s a she-said he-said argument when it comes to Nicole’s video, but it’s almost impossible for me to not believe her because of her sheer attention to detail. She made a video that could be the length of a film describing her experience. I sincerely doubt a liar would make a video of that length.
My heart sincerely goes out to people who are victims of grooming and physical/sexual abuse.
She has a newer TH-cam channel now and is doing pretty good I would say. It's Nikki Carreon. She's really funny and has easily become one of my favorite TH-camrs. 🖤
i used to think these videos were pure, humorous satire and that nothing serious was going on. props to nikki for having to stick through this for so many years and finally standing up for herself
I love how you were about to roast the demonic poop tweet but then you just realized it was funny
The moral is to never trust someone with a mouth that big.
i just finally caught up on what happened after hearing briefly about their breakup (im not on instagram or tiktok anymore so im a bit out of the loop) but nikki is so so incredibly valid in how she dealt with this situation, it was so heartbreaking to hear all that she went through but im so incredibly proud of where she has gotten herself today. she’s very inspiring to me and she deserves all the support she’s gotten and sm more. her content now also suits her so well and i wish her the absolute best
How anybody bought that over acting “HeS LisTenInG tO DAA BAAAAAABY” nasty work 😂
I know everyone has different senses of humor but I genuinely don’t get how he’s funny
I agree truthfully but it’s gotta be kids he’s aiming at. Cause who over the age of 10 is buying that
honestly i laughed out of cringe
