d’angelo is SO right because i really expected so many people to speak up with the way they’re doing with Dr. D*srespect, but, they’re not. it’s so infuriating that cody is being quiet
They're having trouble coping with the fact one of their favorite youtubers is a creep. It sucks, I know, I loved watching his videos. But there comes a time where you have to accept he's not who you thought he was and call him out for it.
Yeah 100% I didn't like hearing people say he was so pure, before Tana really talked about this. I just got a bad vibe but I figured it was something w me. I'm watching those people that said, oh he's so pure how could anyone think bad things about him? 👀
seeing that old clip of Gabbie Hanna corroborating the story without even mentioning Tana was scaaarrrryyyyy, like, it’s very likely it was indeed about Cody, and he’s guilty
That part made me shudder. That is such damning evidence but it ALSO is unfathomably disgusting. I’m his same age and to know he was FULLY AWARE OF HER AGE?!?! 🤢
@@herefortheshrimp1469 EXACTLY! It’s so sad, but I’m honestly so glad to see a 3rd party corroborating the story years before Tana even mentioned it. It definitely makes her story even more believable.
Ik, for one there was something about the footage looking like it was literally unearthed but secondly, she word for word corroborated her story from (what’s looks like) years in the past. Word for word. Not to mention Gabbie being the voice of reason too. Too many signs point to the truth for me
I’d argue that’s why everyone was hesitant to address the Cody situation before, because before this Gabbie clip resurfaced it was unfortunately only Tana’s allegations and this is way too serious a situation to rely on he said she said arguments
D’Angelo and Charlie are youtube acquaintances, its not surprising that his video reached Charlie. They semi-regularly interact with each other online.
@@tawnyew Charlie ends careers when he enters controversies but Philip Defranco is considered actual news by actual news sources so this is def going to get out there and COdy Ko is going to have to open his idiot mouth
The really upsetting thing is that a LOT of his fans have had their heads plunged into the sand by him until D'Angelo spoke up. His censorship intentionally kept people from knowing the person they were supporting is a gross monster.
as a long time fan of him it’s absolutely shocking to me cus he was so good at hiding this stuff and i disagree with the other fans who are defending him and victim blaming Tana. i don’t think i can even continue supporting him after all this bro…
As soon as I saw these allegations I stopped watching Cody ko. There are better TH-camrs out there, I don’t need to support people that actively try to cover up things like this.
same, disgusting... I still follow Kelsey though, she must be going through it and she just married and had a baby with the guy. i don't really know when she learned about this, i understand she is suporting him but also she cannot approach publicly the situation or apologize for him, although getting all the hate.
@@pearandachairwe don’t know how much she knows but man she is in the middle too with Colby Leachman being her friend too. Idk, this is just my impression but I feel like she would also dismiss Tana :/
@@thisiskitta you are so right, god damn it. i really liked them, and besides the awful criminal misogenistic behaviour towards Tana, being friends with Colby is indeed extremely disgusting and seeing their wedding pictures with everyone all happy was crazy. I really thought of them as better people, specially Kelsey. but also I dont know why, I thought the whole frat boy persona from Cody was a joke but it was just him at some point of his life. when Ethan mentioned this I thought it was reaching, but turns out, not really
that was my first thought too, i had completely forgot about this until i watched d’angelo’s video yesterday. cody ko’s silence about these accusations after all these years is very telling.
it's not "mainstream media" but D'Angelo's video directly inspired penguinz0 to make a video about it, finally. which is as close to mainstream media as youtube commentary gets, probably?
i did the math on this. it happened at vidcon (july 23-25, 2015); at which point tana was FRESHLY 17. as in, she’d only been 17 for a MONTH. not that it really matters, but people talk about this as if she was nearly 18. when factually, she was closer to 16 than 18. if vidcon had been just a month earlier, he would’ve slept with her ON THE DAY OF HER 17TH BIRTHDAY. HUGE EDIT: sorry ya’ll, it was playlist live where this happened. (which was FEBRUARY 6-8, 2015, in orlando. which … actually makes it worse. because tana wouldn’t have been 17. she would’ve been SIXTEEN, turning 17 that june.) and in the chance that this happened in 2016, not 2015 at playlist live, then yes; tana would have been 17. (playlist live of 2016 *in orlando* april 22-24.) either way-very gross of cody to do, and he should be held accountable and AT THE LEAST acknowledge it. ANOTHER EDIT: tana has since confirmed that she and cody began having conversations when she was 16, going on 17. and she did state that they slept together multiple times when she was a minor. as dangerous as it can be to speculate, i will be very honest and say this: i would be incredibly unsurprised if cody had slept with tana when she was 16. which is PURE SPECULATION on my part. and even if he didn’t, he still preyed on her when she was 16, only to deliberately begin a sexual relationship with her shortly into her turning 17. literally every update we get on this situation makes my skin crawl, it’s so deplorable.
I, like Tana, grew up quickly in every way- beside sex- I was curvy & cute, seemed mature, so everyone called me a slut. I was raped & no one believed me, just because i was myself. It's so damaging.
At least girls like us know the truth, it sucks that so many others don’t. When you (physically) mature quickly grown men come out of the woodwork to try to sleep with you. It was frustrating then, and with more time and perspective it’s only become more frustrating. There is a serious problem with men in their twenties not understanding they can’t sleep with teenagers and it persists, it makes me sick to my stomach.
I have been through something really similar. I have healed but it changed me forever. I hope you have found happiness and peace, whatever that looks like for you 💕
My predictions: -Cody doesn't address this publicly and instead tries to contact Tana privately, maybe he sues her for defamation or tries to send hush money -Cody takes an extended leave of absence to "focus on his family and mental health" aka leave for awhile and hope everyone forgets what he did. His fanboys blame Tana for "making their favorite youtube leave" and become even more misogynistic to her. -The leave of absence works, he maintains some of his viewer base and eventually gains new viewers who have no idea that any of this happened.
but how would he be able to sue her for defamation if gabbie was a witness? it wouldn't just be her trying to ruin his reputation, it would be her addressing something that actual happened
@@yes_hunny people often sue for defamation even if there’s truth to try and stifle or get a settlement. In some countries defamation can still be defamation even if it’s 100% proven to be true but that’s obviously not relevant here. In any case, defamation is often used as a gag tactic.
What’s gross on D’Angelo’s video is that there are a bunch of people claiming she is only talking about this now to get clout when it was expressly stated in his video that she has actually been talking about this for a long time.
It's actually insane, it's like people think the law is truly an accurate book of moral standings. 18 is the absolute minimum for the LAW, there are many people who are correct to think that it's still not really right for someone in their mid 20's to be randomly hooking up with someone who is 18. there is such a maturity, experience, and power gap there. its not illegal but for many, that dosen't mean it's RIGHT, you just can't be punished for it under the law. going even lower than 18 is now immoral AND illegal. it's not only wrong because it's illegal, it's also wrong because it's creepy, disgusting, and you're taking advantage of a situation where you have explicitly more power and Influence over the other party.
People in Cody’s camp have been expecting Tana to be a “perfect victim” when there is none. Just because she’s unlikable doesn’t mean she couldn’t have been taken advantage of, period. The two can be mutually exclusive and it’s so frustrating to see the narratives being pushed about her right now 🙄
imo shes not even unlikable anymore. shes a very traumatised individual whos been in the public eye since she was 15. shes made a lot of mistakes but has both apologised and clearly grown from it. crazy everyone keeps bringing up her past mistakes to justify Cody’s.
yeah seriously. nothing excuses his actions, and it is never the fault of the victim regardless of what they have or have not done in their life. it's so horrible to see people treating Tana that way
@@froggygirl999 I agree! I think she has grown and learned a lot. I don’t consume a ton of her content still but I definitely think people are weaponizing her past mistakes as a young adult and teenager to basically discredit her and the legitimacy of her allegations. I totally believe her and everything seems entirely plausible to me.
@@dliap98 it’s really messed up, I can’t imagine having my past mistakes used against me like this to justify defending one of their fav commentary bros. It really is giving boys club vibes
It's honestly crazy because Cody is SO loved by many people, I feel like he would have stood a chance had he addressed this properly and immediately but he's missed that window 100%
yeah i unfollowed his main channel when i first saw this covered by Adam. but then i saw D’Angelo’s video and i just went and unfollowed everything. his side channel and his podcast. if Noel Miller doesn’t say anything soon, imma have to unfollow him as well.
Omg I literally finished watching the D’Angelo’s video and was just watching Moist Critikal’s video commenting on D’Angelo’s video on his side!! I had just commented on Charlie’s video on how I love D’Angelo mentions that creators in the commentary space aren’t taking about it when they’ve also been talking about Dr. Disrespect but none for Cody’s situation. Now that Charlie, a 16M channel help kickstart the topic especially when Charlie and Cody’s audience have a huge overlap. Charlie was shutting down the defenders so hopefully that space gets it and also shuts down the creators actions by basically keeping this quiet.
I love D'Angelo and Charlie equally, and when Charlie stepped up and backed D'Angelo's callout I couldn't have been happier. They BOTH said it with their chest, Charlie even apologized for not doing his due diligence sooner with the allegations that have been circling for awhile now. Absolutely stunning use of both their platforms to ELEGANTLY call out Cody.
i cannot overstate how healing it is for my own trauma every time someone sticks up for Tana over this. once again thank you & thank you to everyone who ever comes out against their abusers or in support of victims. these stories & the follow up is so important.
i hope you find happiness! I was assaulted at 16 and the bullying was so bad I dropped out and moved across the country. shit is traumatic asf but there is peace!
I've always had a soft spot for Tana. I really do like her and I am loving Brooke from Adams videos so I will be subscribing to their podcast for sure. I fear Tana's worse shit is what we fear it is and seeing the reaction from this, she probably will never come out. So sad, but there are always those of us who will believe the victims. Sadly the reality is our justice system doesn't favour the victims as much as people want to believe. Especially when it comes to any kind of abuse. It's not just the US either. Here in Ireland, abusers and p*dos get slaps on the wrist, but will send a man to prison over cannabis.
@@grxcedn for me, i was 17 & was with a married professor 😓 i never got to say anything. i still look at his socials from time to time & think about messaging his wife. seeing all of this with Tana speaking up & Kelsey giving no reaction at all, I’m glad I haven’t.
Not the hiding behind a pay wall. 😂 I never watched Cody's channel, and I'm glad I never started to. Being 28, there is no way I would even date a 20 year old let alone sleep with one. Same age gap, same gross feeling. People fucking suck.
exactly! and 20 and 28 is at least legal still so it's just so much worse that she was 17💀 I'm 25 and I'm so disturbed that anyone my age would go after a teenager. yuck
Also 28; a 20 year old is a little guy- a 17 year old is a baby. I don’t understand how you look at a 17 year old and don’t see a kid. They’re so _little._ I remember being 25. It’s so insanely obvious that a 17 year old is a kid. I also remember being 17 (kind of. Trauma is a hell of a drug) and when you’re 17, you cannot tell the scope of that difference the way you can as a 25 year old. It’s fucking horrible. Adults pretending they can’t tell are *_lying._*
@@LucifersfursonaAs someone who's 19 this is so real. Like babe I can tell when someone is under 18, I 100% do not believe you if you're a person in your mid 20's saying that ppl who are under 18 behave, process things, understand things like fully fledged adults. They do not. Even 18 year olds don't stand up to that evaluation most of the time.
this is reinforcing the "perfect victim thing" which is so horrible. i'm not a fan of tana by any means, but the fact that she was a child who had no contact with her family, was being given alcohol and drugs, she was extremely vulnerable. the fact that people can ignore this because "it's tana" is so disheartening to see.
it makes me feel ill the amount of people who play into this but still think they can be counted as a person who's supportive to survivors/victims of sexual crimes. lots of people who are harmed or taken advantage of in this manner are not necessarily likeable people, or maybe they've transitioned between being a better or worse person through their life. that dosen't change that what happened to them was wrong and disgusting, and those responsible need to be held accountable. it's like saying you have no sympathy that a serial killer is out there murdering homeless ppl with drug problems en masse because you think drug addicts are irresponsible people and being homeless is their fault. first of all you're fucked up for that just like you're fucked up for acting like it's not a big deal what happened to her, but also it doesn't matter! you should be able to step back and say, this isn't right and something should be done about it, that nobody deserves to be in such a terrible situation. take a good fucking look at yourself and maybe think before you speak and type. you don't get to cherry pick who you want to see as a victim and also claim you support those of us who've been wronged like that. here's your personal letter from a childhood sexual abuse victim, we don't want your sympathy if you're just going to play around with who you deem worthy and those you'd like to toss to the side.
exactly. nobody deserves to have such a horrific crime done to them no matter who they are. no matter if it’s someone who sleeps with a lot of ppl or someone who doesn’t do it at all. no matter if it’s someone who uses drugs or not. i hate when ppl act like it’s a victims OWN FAULT that something so traumatising happened to them because of those things. how could you blame somebody for this i cannot understand!
@@AliceBunny05you said it so well. no victim who was assaulted finds it appreciative when the person who is ‘supporting’ them shames others who they believe ‘deserved’ their suffering when nobody deserves such a horrible thing. it’s kind of like if someone says ‘oh, it shouldn’t have happened to someone like you’ NO. it shouldn’t happen to anyone at ALL. no victim is less deserving of love and support than another.
When i was 17, i was with someone who was 28 (i was also active in addiction and he was a dealer) and i truly did not realize how bad it was until i was 28, and just the thought of looking at a teenager like that made me sick. Its taken me a long time to process how bad things really were, and it makes me mad how people have been blaming Tana for this. As if 17 year olds arent children. Its just gross
I'm 37 and when I was in highschool it was the norm for girls 16-17 to date college guys and even older. And I mean this was normalized to the point parents allowed it. I had a friend who started dating a guy when she was 13 and he was 19, by the time she was 16 he was living in her parents basement in her house. Another friend was 16 and her bf was 20. Another 17 and 26. My BFF was 16-17 dating 21+. I remember another friend was 16 and dating a licensed plumber in his mid to late 20s, and he picked her up from school every day in his work van. One day we had a project to work on after school so I was going to her house. Her bf picked us up and immediately passed the bowl around. I wonder how many of us were just too stoned or depressed to notice how messed up everything was. It breaks my heart for teens today because they seem to grow up even faster. Out of just these few situations I named here, 2 of these girls ended up falling out with me because their boyfriends said they spent too much time with me and I was probably trying to hook up with them. After years of platonic friendship. Years later both of them apologized to me after realizing the situation. The girl who was 13 when he was 19... When she turned 21 her bf was 27 she said she literally felt her brain develop in that moment when she saw him bringing out her cake, and she just became disgusted by him. She said she felt physically ill being around him. After a few weeks she told him to gtfo. They were still living with her parents btw!!
@@lavenderoh Am 23. I wish I could say things were better when I was in highschool but given how much reading your comment reminded me of certain people I knew... 😥
Same. I was 15. He was 21. When I turned 21 and at some point after someone's comment I thought about it, I realized how truly evil it was. It is horrible what it does to your whole mentality, because in any other situation upon hearing the numbers you'd go 'omg, what the fudge', but when it's you the grooming has already messed you up to the point you can't even look at the situation with logic. It gives me relief to hear the people who are supporting Tana through this. No matter how she might have acted when she was hurting and trying to live through this sort of garbage and more, no one deserves to see anyone defend the actions of their abusers, especially someone who has done something so heinous to them.
D'Angelo didnt just call out Cody. He called out all of commentary TH-cam. wild so many people posted about it the day after he spoke about their silence.
"i ride for cody til i die because there's no evidence" is such a crazy statement 😭not only the fact tana has talked about this and there IS proof online of her story being the same years ago up to this day. but cody hasn't said a WORD. if you're believing based on evidence, it's clear that cody is guilty, he hasn't even acknowledged all of this 😭not to mention, YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS MAN. 😭he does NOT deserve your "ride or die" status, he is a stranger !!!!!
I just made a post about this, but the reason he probably isn't speaking out is because he is smart. If you take the time to use your brain and put yourself in his shoes, you wouldn't speak out either, and if you did... well.. you are a crayon and not a bright one at that. Anything he says could be used if someone were to pursue this as a case. It's the same reason why you choose a lawyer and not talk to police whether innocent or guilty. It's just being smart. Not defending him, just stating facts.
It seems like this JC dude was in another controversy 2 months ago because he was being a creep searching for leaked nudes of his friends and other girls... There is an apology if you search his name
Britney did make a statement on , but ngl I found the wording weird. “If proven guilty”, as if she’s ignoring the countless other issues pointed out by dangelo himself
Honestly there is many commentary channels I stopped following just because they were friends with someone sus. Unfair, I know, but most of the time it's either themselves are bad too OR they have many more friends who turn out to be bad too... I just rather not be following them at that point.
I am always reminded of something my Uncle told me when I was a young girl asking him how to know if someone was lying. My Uncle was a homicide detective for 34 years. He always said, 90 percent of the time, the innocent people won’t be able to shut up. They’ll get very defensive and angry. And even if the guilty person doesn’t shut up you can always tell the difference, they’ll either put on the charm and be cool and collected or they’ll act irrational. The guilty people go silent and just stare into space. And boy did that advice help a lot when I was dealing with some toxic, narcissistic people! I remembered that throughout life and whenever I see accusations like this come out and the person just stays silent when they should want to defend themselves doesn’t make it look good.
We gotta give it to Trisha Paytas she’s been a consistent advocate for minors and being very outspoken about inappropriateness with minors that goes on with TH-camrs
Adam you have been consistent in speaking about this and using your platform for discussing some important issues (and all the fun ones too) and I really appreciate that and so do countless others. Thank you for all you do! ❤
Silence is not always compliance. It depends on who is silent to make it compliant. In this case, if gabbie didn't speak up, that would be. Cody not speaking isn't. That is being smart as anything he were to say can be used against him if someone were to pursue the case. Same reason you are to always pick lawyers over talking to the police whether guilty or innocent.
@@SarahraeLivingLifeat the very least he’s not denouncing or even trying to stop his followers from being horribly sexist and victim blaming. the amount of times i’ve been called sensitive on his subreddit for asking questions… he could at least tell his fans he doesn’t support them saying things like “17 is basically 18.” in his silence, he is compliant with his fans actions
@@coolsillyguyOh really? I only know her from Trixie Mattel videos who seems to be outside of all of these TH-camr spaces so I miss what else she has done.
@@NoFirstNoLastNameidk if theres stuff super specific i stopped watching her stuff a while ago she just has really inconsistent morals and a portion of ppl shes collabed with have been like objectively bad but then says she wont collab with other people (specifically tana and brook) bc it would be bad for her name, she also said she shouldnt talk about palestine bc shes white and its not the focus of her career😭
i mean, her not wanting to go politcal that is her personal opinion (choosing any side will get you dragged online) and as an adult, people have the option not to follow her. But is also really messed up forcing people to talk about political matters, is just shows that supporters of both sides are a bunch of bullies @ramkamslam. On the other side, she has direct contact with problematic people. So that's something she needs to address immediately!
I look back at being 17-19 and I see now that there was a big power imbalance that set me up for trauma and heartbreak and I see those men as sickos and pathetic losers
Same. They ARE sickos and pathetic losers. The way this adult me would laugh in their face if they tried to do the things they did now.... I wish I had had the awareness then. I do the best with the cards I've been dealt. Having time pass between the events and the realization of what those events really were has allowed me not to break apart because of it. So at least there's that.
The people saying "what was she wearing" "she shouldn't have been so promiscuous/pursued him" "she does OF so why does she care" make my blood boil because at the end of the day currently she is a consenting ADULT, when this all went down she was not. It doesn't matter if she made the first move, doesn't matter if she was half naked, it wasn't her job as the CHILD to make sure an ADULT she was a FAN of didn't take advantage of her. I'm 19 legally in the USA I'm an adult mentally I am not and when I was 17 I definitely wasn't.. Also even if they were in a state like mine where age of consent is 16 that doesn't mean you can date/sleep with anyone you want, it's there to protect those withing four years your senior so 16-20, 17-21 because that's not weird that's someone you probably went to school with. It DOESN'T protect people over 21 who sleep with minors from legal issues, why? Because that's a grown adult sleeping with a kid, I kid cant understand what being with an adult (25+) can entail and do to them mentally but they can with someone in their age group 16-21.
Anyone who has ever been a teenage girl knows Tanas telling the truth. When you’re 16/17 men in their mid to late twenties, sometimes even older, start trying to sleep with you. A lot of times we don’t realize how sinister and gross it is until we’re the same age as the men who were trying to fuck us. Tana just turned 26, she’s right at the age to re-evaluate that experience and start to understand the whole situation in a way she couldn’t see before. The public response is so telling of the reality of how a lot of men see the age of consent. At least we know who to keep away from teenagers? Idk.
Him reaching out to Tana, asking if they were okay spoke enough. He never denied sleeping with her as a minor when he reached out to her, so that screams "GUILTY" to me 🤷🏽
When I got one of my "first boyfriends" I was 15 and he was almost 26 and I've always thought "well I was a willing participant, so I can't talk shit".. since I've grown (and especially something big like Tana) helps me realize that it def wasn't okay. And I had a big trend of guys much older than me while I was between 14 and 18.
People who have been through it are always the least charitable to themselves, and you're not alone in believing that. Literal prepubescent children who are abused by pedophiles or peers also struggle with the notion that because they didn't fight hard enough, they were too scared to say no, that secretly deep down they think it was their fault. This mindset is prevalent no matter what age you were at when someone took advantage of you. I was abused at (around) 6 by an adolescent sibling and then went onto inappropriate online sexual interactions with adult men between the ages of like 12-14. I still feel it creep onto me in my dark hours where all I can tell myself is that it was my fault, that obviously those men were wrong but I'm still undeserving of sympathy or love because I played into it, I wanted to feel validated, like I was worth someone's time or interest. Like I was in control now. I've talked to enough people that I know it isn't an uncommon feeling.
@@AliceBunny05 it is so saddening & why it’s really important for discussion like this to take place, and for things to be brought to light when needed.
Adam, I just wanna say thank you for always being an ally for ALL of us. Your politic is so inclusive & intersectional. Love u Mother Mucker, for standing with Palestine, de-stigmatising Sex Work, calling out ANY injustice to any marginalised group and mostly, for always calling a spade a spade and acknowledging when you yourself have made an error in your politic or allyship with any group. I adore your WERK Mother Mucker and I always want to see you glow bbe 😘
I'm so disappointed in Noel Miller. He's a long-time collaborator of Cody and one of his closest friends - now all I can think of is how much he may have known and he didn't do anything. Has he finally said something by now?
It’s over for Cody. Too late for him to address it at this point. The Streisand Effect has already started. Him deleting comments definitely is telling… He’s hiding behind his wife and kid like that’s going to help.. When really he’s making worst for them.
I so feel for Tana rn. I won’t lie I don’t vibe with her personality usually but when it comes to being prayed on by older men in your teens I get it. At 15 I was hit on by a lot of weird man child types that believe ‘you’re practically an adult’ and I was groomed by someone that led to me being assaulted later on. The more people treat you like a piece of meat, the more you start to feel it and you go through this whole depersonalization. You start to believe that this is the best your love life is ever going to get. I mean it’s not but I spent from the time I was 15 to 23 thinking that and it takes a toll on you. I just hope Tana is in a better mindset and knows she deserves more from people.❤
Please!!!!!!!! Loving your big juicey brain and that I'm seeing so many fellow fans of hers speaking up and asking her to talk about it. She literally got caught saying she wouldn't platform tana because we would roast her like a pig, but she's had the collabs up with kody for months now, and we've been hearing about the allegations for a WHILE
I just got done watching Penguinz0 cover this topic, and honestly I never knew this happened until today. Don’t like Tana personally but it’s terrible what happened to her
i was subscribed to the TMG patreon when he posted this apology 20:11 and its exactly when i stopped fucking with cody personally, it proved a cowardice i was not going to support so him responding this these allegations the exact same cowardly way isnt surprising to me!
Rachel Oats' video on this brought me to actual tears, she articulated every feeling this has brought out in me. and you know cody saw that r*pe video his friend made and showed around their fraternity.
I feel so guilty about not knowing anything until recently. I unsubscribed and unfollowed him on everything. Horrible person and I hope Tana is doing okay.
I thought it was going to pop off when the Tana vs Brantley Broski drama happened and people pointed out that Britney works often with Cody Ko who assaulted Tana
the comments from his stans on d’angelo’s video were so vile … i have a feeling like he will be fine regardless of what’s to come? nobody takes victims srsly anyway, so “unlikeable” ones like tana don’t stand a chance. i hope that feeling can be proven wrong …
As a former Cody fan since I heard the news a couple weeks ago, it baffles me because Cody likes to pose as the all around great guy, who understands the concept of misogyny, homophobia and racism are bad things and even in his commentary videos, he denounces any of it. But can’t even come forward to at least acknowledge what he did with Tana? I would ask does he not realize the misogyny of staying silent while his victim is being vilified, but I think he does. And this “one of the good guys” persona he presents himself as on the internet is fake or he at least sees it as “well, I’m not the person who did bad things that I used to be, so I don’t have to talk about it because I put it in the past”. No, Cody. You haven’t changed at all. You just know how to lie so much that you convince yourself in the process.
I watched Kody a lot but after finding this out I can’t look at him the damn same. My MOM was 15 when my 24 y/o father got her pregnant. What pisses me off is victims like this don’t see it as a big deal bc my mom scolds me ( I am 28) whenever I call my dad for what he is a P-0. She says it’s not that big a deal because she was okay with it and I’m like YOU WERE A DAMN CHILD STOP THAT. She doesn’t tolerate age gaps like those though, like se never even allowed me a bf older than me for even 2 year difference but with her she sees it as nothing. Genuinely upsets me bc she has the same mindset of “I’ve gone through worse”. True, you have, but that does not diminish the issue.
charlie made a response vid where he stated that he completely agrees that big channels like his are responsible to cover this if they do content on similar situations. he said it took him this long because when he was going to film, whatever he was going to base his vid on (post, clip, something, i don't remember what he said) that it was deleted and he thought maybe the allegations were debunked but he takes complete accountability for not doing further research that would allow him to see that the posts were being deleted or censored by mods, not bc they weren't true
This speaks to the need for a “perfect victim” for them to believe. The way so many women have been brutalized and merdered (I know I spelled it wrong) because they weren’t an “important enough” victim for others just breaks my heart. True crime history shows us this exactly. No, Tana’s life was not taken but her humanity sure was the moment all of these monsters came out to say “mmm… I don’t believe you because of who you are.”
I'm so annoyed that TH-camrs and people on twitter keep saying "D'angelo exposed Cody". NO THEY DIDN'T. Tana spoke about it already. No one, and I meant no one, spoke about. All I could remember was two drama channels and one guy covering it two weeks ago. As someone who used to like Cody's videos, I fully expected everyone to go rabid over this. This title and type of headline is frustrating me because it seems like Tana wasn't taken seriously or isn't credible for people to talk about it.
And I think that even if Tana was 18 and that would make it legal it would still be extremely creepy and weird one year doesn’t magically make you fully mature.
Honestly I love watching videos when Adam watches them with us. Always makes things a bit easier to understand since I haven’t watched Kody Co for a long time. Thank you Adam for watching these videos ❤️
I love Dangelo for putting him on FULL BLAST. Now we got videos from Penguinz0 & Omni, too. Cody is doing the thing a lawyer would advise when him to do when they know he is F!CKED.
Part of what makes me so disgusted is that (and I could be misremembering) I recall a video by CodyKo probably around the time he did this to Tana where he was calling out a channel for using SA as a punchline. I was all "oh, this channel is safe and isn't gonna be ridiculously problematic." What a manipulative, hypocritical prick. Basically Bo Burnham's character in Promising Young Woman
D’Angelo’s video was so good and correct it felt so powerful that he addressed Cody directly also very annoying and idk like inappropriate that Cody hasn’t said anything. I really hope more people start bringing light to the situation and more show support for Tana.
now that charlie & d’angelo covered it, i’m REALLY REALLY hoping that he will be unable to keep covering it up. i’m so glad you brought it to my attention in the first place because i had never heard about it until recently!!!! used to be a big cody ko fan but his cover up attempt is very telling.
I first found out about the situation a while ago on a random tiktok, so I'm happy that a channel as good as D'Angelo's can spread awareness to other people. It's kinda crazy how late i found out about this, if the internet likes a person it can be really difficult to come across stuff like this.
I have to say, im so glad i feel like I'm on a good side of the internet, anyone ive watched has talked about this and how creepy and illegal this is. Im so glad im not on this apparent "boys club" side. It feels safer over here with muckers
This is proof men can get away with anything if they’re “like able” bc even if Tana is over the top a lot the times doesn’t take away from it. he DID do those things to Tana and Gabbie Hannah was there. 😭
I've been following the Cody topic like crazy now, but there's one reason no one's pointed out directly yet. If his silence continues, it would also show how terrible of a husband/ father he is. He can't even defend for the sake of them, at least. If the allegations can't teach Cody directly, they'll definitely reach indirectly and hurt his family. Can they handle the weight of his alleged crimes instead of the perpetrator?
Okay where is Brittany broski in all of this, she’s all about supporting women so she says good friends with Cody and denied going on tanas podcast bc it’d piss off her fans. She has collabs with several problematic people but refuses to with tana who she’s supposedly cool with. Internalized misogyny, like I know this doesn’t involve her but yo if that’s your friend why aren’t you saying anything
The fact that he address cody the entire video is so savage and so respectable
I agree. It feels right.
💯
Right! They way he kept using his name was low key savage 😂
d’angelo is SO right because i really expected so many people to speak up with the way they’re doing with Dr. D*srespect, but, they’re not. it’s so infuriating that cody is being quiet
Fr the hypocrisy is insane
His silence screams guilty.
I adore D'Angelo Wallace, and while I do subscribe this channel, I jumped on this video as soon as I saw it! Good job, guys.
They're having trouble coping with the fact one of their favorite youtubers is a creep. It sucks, I know, I loved watching his videos. But there comes a time where you have to accept he's not who you thought he was and call him out for it.
Yeah 100%
I didn't like hearing people say he was so pure, before Tana really talked about this. I just got a bad vibe but I figured it was something w me. I'm watching those people that said, oh he's so pure how could anyone think bad things about him? 👀
seeing that old clip of Gabbie Hanna corroborating the story without even mentioning Tana was scaaarrrryyyyy, like, it’s very likely it was indeed about Cody, and he’s guilty
That part made me shudder. That is such damning evidence but it ALSO is unfathomably disgusting. I’m his same age and to know he was FULLY AWARE OF HER AGE?!?! 🤢
@@herefortheshrimp1469 EXACTLY! It’s so sad, but I’m honestly so glad to see a 3rd party corroborating the story years before Tana even mentioned it. It definitely makes her story even more believable.
you know you fucked up when Gabbie calls you out and is RIGHT 💀
i remember seeing a comment saying that she even mimicked cody's mannerisms and manner of speaking in that section, which i can kind of see now
Ik, for one there was something about the footage looking like it was literally unearthed but secondly, she word for word corroborated her story from (what’s looks like) years in the past. Word for word. Not to mention Gabbie being the voice of reason too. Too many signs point to the truth for me
no because deangelo CLEARED when he included the gabbie clip. thats undeniable evidence.
So glad he included that
I’d argue that’s why everyone was hesitant to address the Cody situation before, because before this Gabbie clip resurfaced it was unfortunately only Tana’s allegations and this is way too serious a situation to rely on he said she said arguments
d’angelos video reached penguinz0 who also made a video. charlie is HUGE so hopefully cody actually gets forced to adress this !
D’Angelo and Charlie are youtube acquaintances, its not surprising that his video reached Charlie. They semi-regularly interact with each other online.
Philip defranco said in his live this morning he's looking into it and covering the story too.
@@tawnyew Charlie ends careers when he enters controversies but Philip Defranco is considered actual news by actual news sources so this is def going to get out there and COdy Ko is going to have to open his idiot mouth
Charlie has respect amongst the type of people who would dismiss this so that’s really encouraging.
He did and even made it part of the thumbnail which is shocking considering the main topic today@princessofjedi
Cody is trying to bury it. His fans are burying their heads in the sand. His silence says a lot
It's pathetic
Exactly, if he was innocent of these awful accusations wouldn't he be screaming it from the rooftops? I know I would
The really upsetting thing is that a LOT of his fans have had their heads plunged into the sand by him until D'Angelo spoke up. His censorship intentionally kept people from knowing the person they were supporting is a gross monster.
Dw not all of his fans are the same. he just lost a subscriber today...
as a long time fan of him it’s absolutely shocking to me cus he was so good at hiding this stuff and i disagree with the other fans who are defending him and victim blaming Tana. i don’t think i can even continue supporting him after all this bro…
As soon as I saw these allegations I stopped watching Cody ko. There are better TH-camrs out there, I don’t need to support people that actively try to cover up things like this.
same here, my bf really liked him too and we completely dropped that fool. unreal behavior
Felt this
same, disgusting... I still follow Kelsey though, she must be going through it and she just married and had a baby with the guy. i don't really know when she learned about this, i understand she is suporting him but also she cannot approach publicly the situation or apologize for him, although getting all the hate.
@@pearandachairwe don’t know how much she knows but man she is in the middle too with Colby Leachman being her friend too. Idk, this is just my impression but I feel like she would also dismiss Tana :/
@@thisiskitta you are so right, god damn it. i really liked them, and besides the awful criminal misogenistic behaviour towards Tana, being friends with Colby is indeed extremely disgusting and seeing their wedding pictures with everyone all happy was crazy. I really thought of them as better people, specially Kelsey. but also I dont know why, I thought the whole frat boy persona from Cody was a joke but it was just him at some point of his life. when Ethan mentioned this I thought it was reaching, but turns out, not really
I'm so glad he covered this maybe it will finally hit mainstream media
that was my first thought too, i had completely forgot about this until i watched d’angelo’s video yesterday. cody ko’s silence about these accusations after all these years is very telling.
@@laurisajade4247 it really is so sick and twisted. he definitely made his grave by not responding as soon as possible
it's not "mainstream media" but D'Angelo's video directly inspired penguinz0 to make a video about it, finally. which is as close to mainstream media as youtube commentary gets, probably?
@@elen5871 I might've not used the right words but generally speaking
@@lucylu5622 oh no I think you did, I was just saying it's starting to blow up on bigger channels, which aren't mainstream media but it's a great step
i did the math on this. it happened at vidcon (july 23-25, 2015); at which point tana was FRESHLY 17. as in, she’d only been 17 for a MONTH. not that it really matters, but people talk about this as if she was nearly 18. when factually, she was closer to 16 than 18. if vidcon had been just a month earlier, he would’ve slept with her ON THE DAY OF HER 17TH BIRTHDAY.
HUGE EDIT: sorry ya’ll, it was playlist live where this happened. (which was FEBRUARY 6-8, 2015, in orlando. which … actually makes it worse. because tana wouldn’t have been 17. she would’ve been SIXTEEN, turning 17 that june.)
and in the chance that this happened in 2016, not 2015 at playlist live, then yes; tana would have been 17. (playlist live of 2016 *in orlando* april 22-24.)
either way-very gross of cody to do, and he should be held accountable and AT THE LEAST acknowledge it.
ANOTHER EDIT: tana has since confirmed that she and cody began having conversations when she was 16, going on 17. and she did state that they slept together multiple times when she was a minor. as dangerous as it can be to speculate, i will be very honest and say this: i would be incredibly unsurprised if cody had slept with tana when she was 16. which is PURE SPECULATION on my part. and even if he didn’t, he still preyed on her when she was 16, only to deliberately begin a sexual relationship with her shortly into her turning 17. literally every update we get on this situation makes my skin crawl, it’s so deplorable.
oh god, that makes this even nastier
ICK 🤢
Yuck Yuck YUCK. 🤮
And I thought it couldn’t get any worse…..
gross !!! that man is deplorable. his silence is infuriating. just awful
I, like Tana, grew up quickly in every way- beside sex- I was curvy & cute, seemed mature, so everyone called me a slut. I was raped & no one believed me, just because i was myself. It's so damaging.
I’m so sorry you’ve had to experience that ❤
At least girls like us know the truth, it sucks that so many others don’t. When you (physically) mature quickly grown men come out of the woodwork to try to sleep with you. It was frustrating then, and with more time and perspective it’s only become more frustrating. There is a serious problem with men in their twenties not understanding they can’t sleep with teenagers and it persists, it makes me sick to my stomach.
I have been through something really similar. I have healed but it changed me forever. I hope you have found happiness and peace, whatever that looks like for you 💕
I’m so sorry you went through something so traumatic.
I hope you can find peace.
i am so so sorry that you had to endure that horrifically traumatising experience, and i hope you will find peace and eternal happiness ❤
Love D'Angelo. Always giving straight facts with the cutest style. Similar vibes over here
Deangelo is so well spoken and adorable.
Agreed!
@@sus4nahyes!
If Gabbie Hanna has to correct your behavior, you know it’s bad
My predictions:
-Cody doesn't address this publicly and instead tries to contact Tana privately, maybe he sues her for defamation or tries to send hush money
-Cody takes an extended leave of absence to "focus on his family and mental health" aka leave for awhile and hope everyone forgets what he did. His fanboys blame Tana for "making their favorite youtube leave" and become even more misogynistic to her.
-The leave of absence works, he maintains some of his viewer base and eventually gains new viewers who have no idea that any of this happened.
I can 100% see this happening
but how would he be able to sue her for defamation if gabbie was a witness? it wouldn't just be her trying to ruin his reputation, it would be her addressing something that actual happened
@@yes_hunny people often sue for defamation even if there’s truth to try and stifle or get a settlement.
In some countries defamation can still be defamation even if it’s 100% proven to be true but that’s obviously not relevant here. In any case, defamation is often used as a gag tactic.
I say the third one unfortunately. People will still always have fans. No matter what they do. I mean look at Hitler.
@@ilz_yomg that is wild 💀
What’s gross on D’Angelo’s video is that there are a bunch of people claiming she is only talking about this now to get clout when it was expressly stated in his video that she has actually been talking about this for a long time.
Not only stated but showed videos of her doing so. Misogyny is one hell of a drug 🫠
The fact people are defending cody ko and saying stuff like “17 is basically 18” IS HORRIFYING TO HEAR AS A 17 YEAR OLD.
Fr.
Ya cause it's fucked up even as 18 years old
It's actually insane, it's like people think the law is truly an accurate book of moral standings. 18 is the absolute minimum for the LAW, there are many people who are correct to think that it's still not really right for someone in their mid 20's to be randomly hooking up with someone who is 18. there is such a maturity, experience, and power gap there. its not illegal but for many, that dosen't mean it's RIGHT, you just can't be punished for it under the law. going even lower than 18 is now immoral AND illegal. it's not only wrong because it's illegal, it's also wrong because it's creepy, disgusting, and you're taking advantage of a situation where you have explicitly more power and Influence over the other party.
same as an 18yo i'm still so damn young wtf it's not any better at ALL when ppl say that
@AliceBunny05 exactly law does not always equal the epitome of morality and its gross when ppl try to use it as that
People in Cody’s camp have been expecting Tana to be a “perfect victim” when there is none. Just because she’s unlikable doesn’t mean she couldn’t have been taken advantage of, period. The two can be mutually exclusive and it’s so frustrating to see the narratives being pushed about her right now 🙄
right it’s kinda giving modonna/whore vibes
imo shes not even unlikable anymore. shes a very traumatised individual whos been in the public eye since she was 15. shes made a lot of mistakes but has both apologised and clearly grown from it. crazy everyone keeps bringing up her past mistakes to justify Cody’s.
yeah seriously. nothing excuses his actions, and it is never the fault of the victim regardless of what they have or have not done in their life. it's so horrible to see people treating Tana that way
@@froggygirl999 I agree! I think she has grown and learned a lot. I don’t consume a ton of her content still but I definitely think people are weaponizing her past mistakes as a young adult and teenager to basically discredit her and the legitimacy of her allegations. I totally believe her and everything seems entirely plausible to me.
@@dliap98 it’s really messed up, I can’t imagine having my past mistakes used against me like this to justify defending one of their fav commentary bros. It really is giving boys club vibes
It's honestly crazy because Cody is SO loved by many people, I feel like he would have stood a chance had he addressed this properly and immediately but he's missed that window 100%
yeah i unfollowed his main channel when i first saw this covered by Adam. but then i saw D’Angelo’s video and i just went and unfollowed everything. his side channel and his podcast. if Noel Miller doesn’t say anything soon, imma have to unfollow him as well.
i waited a week, then i saw the moderation being completly out of wack. i do agree, i was expecting Noel to say something as well
@@pearandachairI’m so curious if Noel will speak out .. they’ve been friends for so long i feel like he won’t say anything unfortunately
Omg I literally finished watching the D’Angelo’s video and was just watching Moist Critikal’s video commenting on D’Angelo’s video on his side!! I had just commented on Charlie’s video on how I love D’Angelo mentions that creators in the commentary space aren’t taking about it when they’ve also been talking about Dr. Disrespect but none for Cody’s situation. Now that Charlie, a 16M channel help kickstart the topic especially when Charlie and Cody’s audience have a huge overlap. Charlie was shutting down the defenders so hopefully that space gets it and also shuts down the creators actions by basically keeping this quiet.
I love Charlie so much. A true golden boi.
mucker and charlie fans overlapping yayyy 🫶🏽
I love D'Angelo and Charlie equally, and when Charlie stepped up and backed D'Angelo's callout I couldn't have been happier. They BOTH said it with their chest, Charlie even apologized for not doing his due diligence sooner with the allegations that have been circling for awhile now. Absolutely stunning use of both their platforms to ELEGANTLY call out Cody.
i cannot overstate how healing it is for my own trauma every time someone sticks up for Tana over this. once again thank you & thank you to everyone who ever comes out against their abusers or in support of victims. these stories & the follow up is so important.
Fuck, yeah! ❤
Same.
i hope you find happiness! I was assaulted at 16 and the bullying was so bad I dropped out and moved across the country. shit is traumatic asf but there is peace!
I've always had a soft spot for Tana. I really do like her and I am loving Brooke from Adams videos so I will be subscribing to their podcast for sure.
I fear Tana's worse shit is what we fear it is and seeing the reaction from this, she probably will never come out. So sad, but there are always those of us who will believe the victims. Sadly the reality is our justice system doesn't favour the victims as much as people want to believe. Especially when it comes to any kind of abuse.
It's not just the US either. Here in Ireland, abusers and p*dos get slaps on the wrist, but will send a man to prison over cannabis.
@@grxcedn for me, i was 17 & was with a married professor 😓 i never got to say anything. i still look at his socials from time to time & think about messaging his wife. seeing all of this with Tana speaking up & Kelsey giving no reaction at all, I’m glad I haven’t.
Not the hiding behind a pay wall. 😂
I never watched Cody's channel, and I'm glad I never started to. Being 28, there is no way I would even date a 20 year old let alone sleep with one. Same age gap, same gross feeling.
People fucking suck.
exactly! and 20 and 28 is at least legal still so it's just so much worse that she was 17💀 I'm 25 and I'm so disturbed that anyone my age would go after a teenager. yuck
Also 28; a 20 year old is a little guy- a 17 year old is a baby. I don’t understand how you look at a 17 year old and don’t see a kid. They’re so _little._ I remember being 25. It’s so insanely obvious that a 17 year old is a kid. I also remember being 17 (kind of. Trauma is a hell of a drug) and when you’re 17, you cannot tell the scope of that difference the way you can as a 25 year old. It’s fucking horrible.
Adults pretending they can’t tell are *_lying._*
@@LucifersfursonaAs someone who's 19 this is so real. Like babe I can tell when someone is under 18, I 100% do not believe you if you're a person in your mid 20's saying that ppl who are under 18 behave, process things, understand things like fully fledged adults. They do not. Even 18 year olds don't stand up to that evaluation most of the time.
this is reinforcing the "perfect victim thing" which is so horrible. i'm not a fan of tana by any means, but the fact that she was a child who had no contact with her family, was being given alcohol and drugs, she was extremely vulnerable. the fact that people can ignore this because "it's tana" is so disheartening to see.
it makes me feel ill the amount of people who play into this but still think they can be counted as a person who's supportive to survivors/victims of sexual crimes. lots of people who are harmed or taken advantage of in this manner are not necessarily likeable people, or maybe they've transitioned between being a better or worse person through their life. that dosen't change that what happened to them was wrong and disgusting, and those responsible need to be held accountable. it's like saying you have no sympathy that a serial killer is out there murdering homeless ppl with drug problems en masse because you think drug addicts are irresponsible people and being homeless is their fault. first of all you're fucked up for that just like you're fucked up for acting like it's not a big deal what happened to her, but also it doesn't matter! you should be able to step back and say, this isn't right and something should be done about it, that nobody deserves to be in such a terrible situation. take a good fucking look at yourself and maybe think before you speak and type. you don't get to cherry pick who you want to see as a victim and also claim you support those of us who've been wronged like that. here's your personal letter from a childhood sexual abuse victim, we don't want your sympathy if you're just going to play around with who you deem worthy and those you'd like to toss to the side.
exactly. nobody deserves to have such a horrific crime done to them no matter who they are. no matter if it’s someone who sleeps with a lot of ppl or someone who doesn’t do it at all. no matter if it’s someone who uses drugs or not. i hate when ppl act like it’s a victims OWN FAULT that something so traumatising happened to them because of those things. how could you blame somebody for this i cannot understand!
@@AliceBunny05you said it so well. no victim who was assaulted finds it appreciative when the person who is ‘supporting’ them shames others who they believe ‘deserved’ their suffering when nobody deserves such a horrible thing. it’s kind of like if someone says ‘oh, it shouldn’t have happened to someone like you’ NO. it shouldn’t happen to anyone at ALL. no victim is less deserving of love and support than another.
When i was 17, i was with someone who was 28 (i was also active in addiction and he was a dealer) and i truly did not realize how bad it was until i was 28, and just the thought of looking at a teenager like that made me sick. Its taken me a long time to process how bad things really were, and it makes me mad how people have been blaming Tana for this. As if 17 year olds arent children. Its just gross
I'm 37 and when I was in highschool it was the norm for girls 16-17 to date college guys and even older. And I mean this was normalized to the point parents allowed it. I had a friend who started dating a guy when she was 13 and he was 19, by the time she was 16 he was living in her parents basement in her house. Another friend was 16 and her bf was 20. Another 17 and 26. My BFF was 16-17 dating 21+. I remember another friend was 16 and dating a licensed plumber in his mid to late 20s, and he picked her up from school every day in his work van. One day we had a project to work on after school so I was going to her house. Her bf picked us up and immediately passed the bowl around. I wonder how many of us were just too stoned or depressed to notice how messed up everything was. It breaks my heart for teens today because they seem to grow up even faster. Out of just these few situations I named here, 2 of these girls ended up falling out with me because their boyfriends said they spent too much time with me and I was probably trying to hook up with them. After years of platonic friendship. Years later both of them apologized to me after realizing the situation. The girl who was 13 when he was 19... When she turned 21 her bf was 27 she said she literally felt her brain develop in that moment when she saw him bringing out her cake, and she just became disgusted by him. She said she felt physically ill being around him. After a few weeks she told him to gtfo. They were still living with her parents btw!!
@@lavenderoh Am 23. I wish I could say things were better when I was in highschool but given how much reading your comment reminded me of certain people I knew... 😥
Same. I was 15. He was 21. When I turned 21 and at some point after someone's comment I thought about it, I realized how truly evil it was. It is horrible what it does to your whole mentality, because in any other situation upon hearing the numbers you'd go 'omg, what the fudge', but when it's you the grooming has already messed you up to the point you can't even look at the situation with logic. It gives me relief to hear the people who are supporting Tana through this. No matter how she might have acted when she was hurting and trying to live through this sort of garbage and more, no one deserves to see anyone defend the actions of their abusers, especially someone who has done something so heinous to them.
I just don’t understand how people can look at Cody the same way after all this.
Well, unfortunately people are defending him.
Misogyny is a disease 🤷🏽♀️
D'Angelo didnt just call out Cody. He called out all of commentary TH-cam. wild so many people posted about it the day after he spoke about their silence.
"i ride for cody til i die because there's no evidence" is such a crazy statement 😭not only the fact tana has talked about this and there IS proof online of her story being the same years ago up to this day. but cody hasn't said a WORD. if you're believing based on evidence, it's clear that cody is guilty, he hasn't even acknowledged all of this 😭not to mention, YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS MAN. 😭he does NOT deserve your "ride or die" status, he is a stranger !!!!!
I just made a post about this, but the reason he probably isn't speaking out is because he is smart. If you take the time to use your brain and put yourself in his shoes, you wouldn't speak out either, and if you did... well.. you are a crayon and not a bright one at that. Anything he says could be used if someone were to pursue this as a case. It's the same reason why you choose a lawyer and not talk to police whether innocent or guilty. It's just being smart. Not defending him, just stating facts.
Let’s not forget that tana also named jc caylen along side Cody co. Hannah needs to yell has a video about it
I think that guy might not be famous? Is that a youtuber? I have not gone after him because I have no idea who that is.
@@thaloblueoh he’s a TH-camr
@@thalobluehe’s famous he’s more old youtube !!!
It seems like this JC dude was in another controversy 2 months ago because he was being a creep searching for leaked nudes of his friends and other girls... There is an apology if you search his name

girl i body slammed out of that coconut tree racing to this video
😂😂😂😂😂
I wish that the people that collaborated with him (ex: Brittany Broski, Kurtis Connor, GMM) would address the situation and take down those videos.
Im not sure about anyone else, but at least Brittany appears to have taken down her video with him and made a statement about it.
@@Fuchsiafaefantasy I saw that and I’m very happy she did!
Not Kurtis 😭
Britney did make a statement on , but ngl I found the wording weird. “If proven guilty”, as if she’s ignoring the countless other issues pointed out by dangelo himself
Honestly there is many commentary channels I stopped following just because they were friends with someone sus. Unfair, I know, but most of the time it's either themselves are bad too OR they have many more friends who turn out to be bad too... I just rather not be following them at that point.
I am always reminded of something my Uncle told me when I was a young girl asking him how to know if someone was lying. My Uncle was a homicide detective for 34 years. He always said, 90 percent of the time, the innocent people won’t be able to shut up. They’ll get very defensive and angry. And even if the guilty person doesn’t shut up you can always tell the difference, they’ll either put on the charm and be cool and collected or they’ll act irrational. The guilty people go silent and just stare into space. And boy did that advice help a lot when I was dealing with some toxic, narcissistic people! I remembered that throughout life and whenever I see accusations like this come out and the person just stays silent when they should want to defend themselves doesn’t make it look good.
I watched this right after watching D-angelos video ! perfect timing
LIT RALLY LUV !!
I watched this video last night and IMMEDIATELY said to myself… I cannot wait for Adam to cover this❤️
SAMEEE
Literally Same, so excited, Adam is my fav
We gotta give it to Trisha Paytas she’s been a consistent advocate for minors and being very outspoken about inappropriateness with minors that goes on with TH-camrs
I sometimes wondered if the story she told last year about not allowing an underaged creator into her apartment, was about tana
I would be careful saying that because of the allegations against Moses, also Trisha was initially apprehensive to stand up against Shane Dawson
At very least, she seems to have matured quite a bit in recent years
Why mention her ? This isn’t about her 😂
H3 is covering this a same thing right now! Moistcritical Charlie covered it today as well! Codyko needs to speak up
Philip DeFranco also covered it now! Really big names are chiming in!
Yes D’Angelo explicitly stated in his video that (at the time of publishing) h3 was the ONLY large channel talking about it
D'Angelo and Charlie both discussed this, and Cody Ko has been trending on Twitter all day, the man is cooked.
Adam you have been consistent in speaking about this and using your platform for discussing some important issues (and all the fun ones too) and I really appreciate that and so do countless others. Thank you for all you do! ❤
this entire situation just makes me so sad. its always believe victims until its someone we hold biases towards. silence is complacence.
Silence is not always compliance. It depends on who is silent to make it compliant. In this case, if gabbie didn't speak up, that would be. Cody not speaking isn't. That is being smart as anything he were to say can be used against him if someone were to pursue the case. Same reason you are to always pick lawyers over talking to the police whether guilty or innocent.
@@SarahraeLivingLifeat the very least he’s not denouncing or even trying to stop his followers from being horribly sexist and victim blaming. the amount of times i’ve been called sensitive on his subreddit for asking questions… he could at least tell his fans he doesn’t support them saying things like “17 is basically 18.” in his silence, he is compliant with his fans actions
It’s crazy that people have been talking about this for weeks, but D’Angelo makes a video and the internet suddenly cares
I had no clue tbh. I just found out last week. 🤷♀️
Unfortunately cody has been trying so hard to cover this up, that I wouldn't have known if D'Angelo didn't make a video
We should also acknowledge how she said JC Caylen too
Britney Broski filming with him and not Tana too
been feeling the “not a girl’s girl” vibes from brittany for a while now :/
@@coolsillyguyOh really? I only know her from Trixie Mattel videos who seems to be outside of all of these TH-camr spaces so I miss what else she has done.
@@NoFirstNoLastNameidk if theres stuff super specific i stopped watching her stuff a while ago she just has really inconsistent morals and a portion of ppl shes collabed with have been like objectively bad but then says she wont collab with other people (specifically tana and brook) bc it would be bad for her name, she also said she shouldnt talk about palestine bc shes white and its not the focus of her career😭
@@coolsillyguy i had to give up on her after so many things started stacking up
i mean, her not wanting to go politcal that is her personal opinion (choosing any side will get you dragged online) and as an adult, people have the option not to follow her. But is also really messed up forcing people to talk about political matters, is just shows that supporters of both sides are a bunch of bullies @ramkamslam.
On the other side, she has direct contact with problematic people. So that's something she needs to address immediately!
I look back at being 17-19 and I see now that there was a big power imbalance that set me up for trauma and heartbreak and I see those men as sickos and pathetic losers
Same. They ARE sickos and pathetic losers. The way this adult me would laugh in their face if they tried to do the things they did now.... I wish I had had the awareness then. I do the best with the cards I've been dealt. Having time pass between the events and the realization of what those events really were has allowed me not to break apart because of it. So at least there's that.
The people saying "what was she wearing" "she shouldn't have been so promiscuous/pursued him" "she does OF so why does she care" make my blood boil because at the end of the day currently she is a consenting ADULT, when this all went down she was not. It doesn't matter if she made the first move, doesn't matter if she was half naked, it wasn't her job as the CHILD to make sure an ADULT she was a FAN of didn't take advantage of her. I'm 19 legally in the USA I'm an adult mentally I am not and when I was 17 I definitely wasn't..
Also even if they were in a state like mine where age of consent is 16 that doesn't mean you can date/sleep with anyone you want, it's there to protect those withing four years your senior so 16-20, 17-21 because that's not weird that's someone you probably went to school with. It DOESN'T protect people over 21 who sleep with minors from legal issues, why? Because that's a grown adult sleeping with a kid, I kid cant understand what being with an adult (25+) can entail and do to them mentally but they can with someone in their age group 16-21.
The way Cody made people PAY for his apology.💀
Anyone who has ever been a teenage girl knows Tanas telling the truth. When you’re 16/17 men in their mid to late twenties, sometimes even older, start trying to sleep with you. A lot of times we don’t realize how sinister and gross it is until we’re the same age as the men who were trying to fuck us. Tana just turned 26, she’s right at the age to re-evaluate that experience and start to understand the whole situation in a way she couldn’t see before. The public response is so telling of the reality of how a lot of men see the age of consent. At least we know who to keep away from teenagers? Idk.
Him reaching out to Tana, asking if they were okay spoke enough. He never denied sleeping with her as a minor when he reached out to her, so that screams "GUILTY" to me 🤷🏽
When I got one of my "first boyfriends" I was 15 and he was almost 26 and I've always thought "well I was a willing participant, so I can't talk shit".. since I've grown (and especially something big like Tana) helps me realize that it def wasn't okay. And I had a big trend of guys much older than me while I was between 14 and 18.
I think this was/is so common & as we get older we realize how f’d up it was and it just feel so SO icky now.
People who have been through it are always the least charitable to themselves, and you're not alone in believing that. Literal prepubescent children who are abused by pedophiles or peers also struggle with the notion that because they didn't fight hard enough, they were too scared to say no, that secretly deep down they think it was their fault. This mindset is prevalent no matter what age you were at when someone took advantage of you. I was abused at (around) 6 by an adolescent sibling and then went onto inappropriate online sexual interactions with adult men between the ages of like 12-14. I still feel it creep onto me in my dark hours where all I can tell myself is that it was my fault, that obviously those men were wrong but I'm still undeserving of sympathy or love because I played into it, I wanted to feel validated, like I was worth someone's time or interest. Like I was in control now. I've talked to enough people that I know it isn't an uncommon feeling.
@@AliceBunny05 it is so saddening & why it’s really important for discussion like this to take place, and for things to be brought to light when needed.
@@AliceBunny05 I’m so sorry for what you went through.
Adam, I just wanna say thank you for always being an ally for ALL of us. Your politic is so inclusive & intersectional. Love u Mother Mucker, for standing with Palestine, de-stigmatising Sex Work, calling out ANY injustice to any marginalised group and mostly, for always calling a spade a spade and acknowledging when you yourself have made an error in your politic or allyship with any group. I adore your WERK Mother Mucker and I always want to see you glow bbe 😘
I'm so disappointed in Noel Miller. He's a long-time collaborator of Cody and one of his closest friends - now all I can think of is how much he may have known and he didn't do anything. Has he finally said something by now?
He just cancelled his tour
No person ever in existence who is innocent would not defend themselves and ignore this. How hard is that for people to wrap their heads around 🤦♀️
Honesty and the fact that he's still even getting the benefit of the doubt
19:59 he really said if you cant cough up 10 dollars a month u aint deserve an apology 💀
its probably not even an actual apology as well
Kind of off topic but how is D'Angelo so beautiful? Like, that is a whole ass beautiful man.
It’s over for Cody. Too late for him to address it at this point. The Streisand Effect has already started. Him deleting comments definitely is telling… He’s hiding behind his wife and kid like that’s going to help.. When really he’s making worst for them.
Nobody, Cody included, should be bringing his wife and child into this.
I so feel for Tana rn. I won’t lie I don’t vibe with her personality usually but when it comes to being prayed on by older men in your teens I get it. At 15 I was hit on by a lot of weird man child types that believe ‘you’re practically an adult’ and I was groomed by someone that led to me being assaulted later on. The more people treat you like a piece of meat, the more you start to feel it and you go through this whole depersonalization. You start to believe that this is the best your love life is ever going to get. I mean it’s not but I spent from the time I was 15 to 23 thinking that and it takes a toll on you. I just hope Tana is in a better mindset and knows she deserves more from people.❤
Man I feel bad for Tana and Brooke. Horrible men of their past are being crappy :\ but at least tana and Brooke are thriving despite it
People need to be dragging Brittany Broski into this because she’s friends with Cody.
Please!!!!!!!! Loving your big juicey brain and that I'm seeing so many fellow fans of hers speaking up and asking her to talk about it. She literally got caught saying she wouldn't platform tana because we would roast her like a pig, but she's had the collabs up with kody for months now, and we've been hearing about the allegations for a WHILE
I hate double standards so much
literally.
She replied on insta :( she’s disappointed by his actions
@@Binstabihwhat does this have to do w double standards? 💀💀
Also hearing Adam say "Rachel Oates" brings my worlds together in a crazy good way lol.
calm down
I just got done watching Penguinz0 cover this topic, and honestly I never knew this happened until today. Don’t like Tana personally but it’s terrible what happened to her
i was subscribed to the TMG patreon when he posted this apology 20:11 and its exactly when i stopped fucking with cody personally, it proved a cowardice i was not going to support so him responding this these allegations the exact same cowardly way isnt surprising to me!
Rachel Oats' video on this brought me to actual tears, she articulated every feeling this has brought out in me.
and you know cody saw that r*pe video his friend made and showed around their fraternity.
Wow didn't think Gabbie would be a hero in this
I was a Cody fan (and a subscriber of yours) and I literally didn’t hear about this til YESTERDAY it’s crazy
I feel so guilty about not knowing anything until recently. I unsubscribed and unfollowed him on everything. Horrible person and I hope Tana is doing okay.
I thought it was going to pop off when the Tana vs Brantley Broski drama happened and people pointed out that Britney works often with Cody Ko who assaulted Tana
We are being fed and I’m here for it!! Haven’t even finished the new Brooke and Clinton video yet but I’m coming back to this one😉💜.
I love this pink underlight it's so cute and adds so much visually❤
the comments from his stans on d’angelo’s video were so vile … i have a feeling like he will be fine regardless of what’s to come? nobody takes victims srsly anyway, so “unlikeable” ones like tana don’t stand a chance. i hope that feeling can be proven wrong …
As a former Cody fan since I heard the news a couple weeks ago, it baffles me because Cody likes to pose as the all around great guy, who understands the concept of misogyny, homophobia and racism are bad things and even in his commentary videos, he denounces any of it. But can’t even come forward to at least acknowledge what he did with Tana? I would ask does he not realize the misogyny of staying silent while his victim is being vilified, but I think he does. And this “one of the good guys” persona he presents himself as on the internet is fake or he at least sees it as “well, I’m not the person who did bad things that I used to be, so I don’t have to talk about it because I put it in the past”. No, Cody. You haven’t changed at all. You just know how to lie so much that you convince yourself in the process.
I watched Kody a lot but after finding this out I can’t look at him the damn same. My MOM was 15 when my 24 y/o father got her pregnant. What pisses me off is victims like this don’t see it as a big deal bc my mom scolds me ( I am 28) whenever I call my dad for what he is a P-0. She says it’s not that big a deal because she was okay with it and I’m like YOU WERE A DAMN CHILD STOP THAT. She doesn’t tolerate age gaps like those though, like se never even allowed me a bf older than me for even 2 year difference but with her she sees it as nothing. Genuinely upsets me bc she has the same mindset of “I’ve gone through worse”. True, you have, but that does not diminish the issue.
charlie made a response vid where he stated that he completely agrees that big channels like his are responsible to cover this if they do content on similar situations. he said it took him this long because when he was going to film, whatever he was going to base his vid on (post, clip, something, i don't remember what he said) that it was deleted and he thought maybe the allegations were debunked but he takes complete accountability for not doing further research that would allow him to see that the posts were being deleted or censored by mods, not bc they weren't true
I'm going to have to go watch D'Angelos video and come back so I'm fully up to date, thank you for continuing to talk about this awful situation 🫶🏻
ooooh babes i’ve been WAITING for this one! thank u mother mucker
I wish u would’ve talked about Colby, glad someone is finally talking about it 😭
i'm so happy you're covering this adam, it makes me upset how the commentary community has completely ignored this situation...
Finally found the time to watch the three revisit episodes of D’Angelo and now I get ANOTHER Adam and D’Angelo combo? I got spoiled today.
D’Angelo fucking killed this. One of the most beautifully articulate voices on TH-cam (along with Adam of course) 💖
This speaks to the need for a “perfect victim” for them to believe. The way so many women have been brutalized and merdered (I know I spelled it wrong) because they weren’t an “important enough” victim for others just breaks my heart. True crime history shows us this exactly. No, Tana’s life was not taken but her humanity sure was the moment all of these monsters came out to say “mmm… I don’t believe you because of who you are.”
Hearing Tana say he was the smallest and knowing that he and his business partner, Noel, have a podcast called TMG (Tiny Meat Gang) had me rolling.
I'm so annoyed that TH-camrs and people on twitter keep saying "D'angelo exposed Cody". NO THEY DIDN'T. Tana spoke about it already. No one, and I meant no one, spoke about. All I could remember was two drama channels and one guy covering it two weeks ago. As someone who used to like Cody's videos, I fully expected everyone to go rabid over this. This title and type of headline is frustrating me because it seems like Tana wasn't taken seriously or isn't credible for people to talk about it.
And I think that even if Tana was 18 and that would make it legal it would still be extremely creepy and weird one year doesn’t magically make you fully mature.
17 and 25 is gross. A literal highschool aged teenage girl with a grown adult man... ew
We don’t deserve D’angelo. A true fucking gem.
Honestly I love watching videos when Adam watches them with us. Always makes things a bit easier to understand since I haven’t watched Kody Co for a long time. Thank you Adam for watching these videos ❤️
I love Dangelo for putting him on FULL BLAST. Now we got videos from Penguinz0 & Omni, too.
Cody is doing the thing a lawyer would advise when him to do when they know he is F!CKED.
Part of what makes me so disgusted is that (and I could be misremembering) I recall a video by CodyKo probably around the time he did this to Tana where he was calling out a channel for using SA as a punchline. I was all "oh, this channel is safe and isn't gonna be ridiculously problematic." What a manipulative, hypocritical prick. Basically Bo Burnham's character in Promising Young Woman
D’Angelo’s video was so good and correct it felt so powerful that he addressed Cody directly also very annoying and idk like inappropriate that Cody hasn’t said anything. I really hope more people start bringing light to the situation and more show support for Tana.
I was waiting for this video, D’Angelo makes the most excellent points and common sense in his video.
now that charlie & d’angelo covered it, i’m REALLY REALLY hoping that he will be unable to keep covering it up. i’m so glad you brought it to my attention in the first place because i had never heard about it until recently!!!! used to be a big cody ko fan but his cover up attempt is very telling.
Good morning Adam. I’m about to pack a bowl and have my morning coffee. Hope you’re all having a wonderful week thus far 💕
I first found out about the situation a while ago on a random tiktok, so I'm happy that a channel as good as D'Angelo's can spread awareness to other people. It's kinda crazy how late i found out about this, if the internet likes a person it can be really difficult to come across stuff like this.
I knew u was gonna cover this after watching the penguinz0 vid I wanna thank you for being the first one I saw put this situation on exposure
I have to say, im so glad i feel like I'm on a good side of the internet, anyone ive watched has talked about this and how creepy and illegal this is. Im so glad im not on this apparent "boys club" side. It feels safer over here with muckers
I'm glad that Mo1st talked about it. Now it's gonna be on many people's radar as well.
time to get the ukulele, it’s joever
I think we should also address how Noel Miller has also been silent
gabbie hanna now’s your time
I honestly would like to know his wife’s opinion on this situation I can’t image being her just having her child and now finding this out
He started dating her at 27 so only 2 years earlier from them getting together I think she knows
@@autumncaro5467 who know he could have lied about it and I highly doubt she knew about him filming women and passing it around school.
BABY I JUST WATCHED THIS OH D’ANGELO ATEEEEE I’m so excited for your take mother mucker 🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is proof men can get away with anything if they’re “like able” bc even if Tana is over the top a lot the times doesn’t take away from it. he DID do those things to Tana and Gabbie Hannah was there. 😭
I've been following the Cody topic like crazy now, but there's one reason no one's pointed out directly yet. If his silence continues, it would also show how terrible of a husband/ father he is. He can't even defend for the sake of them, at least. If the allegations can't teach Cody directly, they'll definitely reach indirectly and hurt his family. Can they handle the weight of his alleged crimes instead of the perpetrator?
After D’Angelo’s video came out, people are finally talking about it.
i was a fan of cody for almost ten years and once everything came out about him i unsubscribed from all of his channels so fucking quick
Okay where is Brittany broski in all of this, she’s all about supporting women so she says good friends with Cody and denied going on tanas podcast bc it’d piss off her fans. She has collabs with several problematic people but refuses to with tana who she’s supposedly cool with. Internalized misogyny, like I know this doesn’t involve her but yo if that’s your friend why aren’t you saying anything
