Controversial YouTuber JayStation faked his girlfriend's death prior to they broke up, and was demonetized, leading to his decision to take a hiatus.
YouTuber JayStation, whose real identify is Jason Ethier, has lately made up our minds to take an indefinite hiatus from YouTube. Recently, the author has confronted immense backlash, particularly for his content about his girlfriend, Alexia Marano, leading to his leave from the platform.
The pair's dating is a tumultuous one, and the drama surrounding it is still no longer over. In the five months they dated, they made a large number of movies together, culminating in one very unhealthy prank.
Jason and Alexia met in August 2019.
Alexia said that she met Jason in August 2019 via some mutual friends.
"I thought he was really weird," she admitted, saying that his conduct that night made her "uncomfortable."
"I thought, I don't know maybe he was on some illegal substances or he was drinking or something like that," she said.
Later throughout the evening, they got to know every other better, and inside of two weeks they were an item. Less than a month into their dating, Jason invited her to live with him in Toronto.
At the time, Alexia was once living in Ottawa, which is about a four-hour pressure from Toronto. She said she sought after to stick close to her family and friends, as her dad is in reality unwell. But after Jason made the be offering for her to move in with him, she agreed, rationalizing that she would be able to come home as wanted.
After transferring in with him, Alexia stated that she often helped Jason with his videos, and they even made a 2nd channel, referred to as Dream Team, the place they uploaded content material together.
JayStation faked Alexia's death.
The couple used to be clearly on the outs when Jason uploaded "My Girlfriend Alexia Died... *Rest In Paradise*" The video, which was once taken down after it was published to be a prank, detailed Alexia's apparent death.
"Last night we lost Alexia to a drunk driver, guys," a faux teary-eyed Jason mentioned to the digicam.
But it became clear that the video was once best to advertise their channel, Dream Team.
"We had a channel together called Dream Team. We had just hit 300,000 subscribers," Jason said. "Her dream was just to get a million subscribers and we were so close to doing that, guys."
He stated that he was once going to proceed posting movies of them to the channel, as a way to reach "her dream."
According to Alexia, Jason had planned a series of videos around her death to achieve views, culminating in him "bringing her back" to complete the series. She admitted she wasn't OK with this, and most effective helped him with the videos "out of fear."
"I did not want to play with people's emotions like that at all, especially with something as serious as death," she mentioned. "When other people were watching it on YouTube for the first time I also was watching it on YouTube for the first time."
Alexia also claimed that JayStation abused her.
Alexia published that as soon as she moved in with Jason, he started to show a distinct aspect to her. It started when he went thru her phone whilst she was dozing, studying thru each and every textual content, DM, and Snapchat message that he may. By the morning, he told her that the messages had been an indicator that she would cheat on him, and demanded she delete all of her social media.
"This is not a normal thing for someone to ask of someone in the relationship," Alexia mentioned. "It does not matter if they are suspicious or they are paranoid or they've had issues with other people in the past. They do not have the right to tell you that you need to take away your own personal social media."
One day after this confession, Alexia posted a new video, this time detailing that now not simplest used to be he allegedly emotionally abusive, however she filed a police record claiming domestic violence.
In her video, titled "IMJAYSTATION & THE STORY OF HIS ABUSE *PROOF*" she outlines two specific circumstances of his abusive conduct, including when he threw an iPhone at her eye and when he pushed her down because she "didn't do exactly what she wanted him to do." She claimed that he sought after to "isolate" her from her family and friends as smartly while they have been dating.
They have broken up and JayStation is on a hiatus.
Clearly, issues are over for the "Dream Team." On Jan. 29, Jason deleted the entire videos on their joint channel, importing a new one titled "This is not the end. ❤️" where he says that he and Alexia have broken up, but he'll be the use of the channel for challenge movies.
Jason requested that his subscribers "wouldn't mention her in the comments and stuff. I'm trying to move on," but the feedback are full of the ones stating his toxic habits.
On his primary channel, despite the fact that, Jason has announced that he's going on an indefinite hiatus.
"I've done a lot of stupid things in my life and a lot of stupid things for attention on YouTube," he mentioned in the video, titled "Goodbye..." "I'm really not proud of who I became. I really lost who I was as a person in pursuit of success... I really don't know who I am anymore."
YouTube confirmed to TubeFilter that that they had demonetized the entire movies at the ImJayStation channel, mentioning the attack charges filed in opposition to him on Feb. Three as their reason why for demonetizing his platform.
It's unclear when — or if the debatable creator will come back, but Alexia is making YouTube video on her own channel now, the place she already has over 70,000 subscribers.
