This is a run down of everything I think you need to know about this creeper.
It's a lot to remember so I'm bound to have forgotten something, please add it to this thread if so!
1. She has been fake from the beginning
She started her Youtube after being popular on Tumblr and through desperation of wanting an easy job. She didn't want to work in a call centre anymore, she didn't want to continue studying graphic design at uni (because it was "too competitive") so she started a Youtube channel, watched her Tumblr following migrate across and then quit her job.
- Whenever she was asked what she'd be doing if it wasn't youtube she answered "Marketing, because that's where the money is!"
- She knew girls like Lauren, Zoe, Shannon were making a tonne of money from Youtube which is why she got into it too. It's ALWAYS been about the money.
- On Tumblr she was moody, sarcastic, image-obsessed, fearless and outgoing. As soon as she hit Youtube she turned sweet, girlie, innocent, anxiety-ridden, shy and conservative.
- She enjoys making her eyes look more blue than they are. Majority of her photos and videos have the colour saturation turned wayyyy up.
2. She has always only shown one side of her face
- Any image or video you see of Dani online is showing the left side of her face. She has been showing this one side since wayyyy back in her early tumblr days. If you see any image or video of Dani where it looks like she's facing the other way, it has been flipped. If it's a snapchat video or a webcam video, it looks like she's facing the other way but the phone/webcam mirrors your image.
- Every video she sits facing towards her right, either her whole body turned or always looking off to the right. Her mirror is to the right, her computer screen is to the right.
- Every group photo she is in she'll make sure she's showing her "good side", by completely turning her back to anyone else that is in the photo.
- She has never once addressed why she doesn't want to show the other side of her face.
3. Her "bullying" story is a load of bull
- Not one of her "bullies" has ever come forwards to talk about Dani.
- She chose to leave her good group of friends for the popular crowd who didn't like her (which she knew).
- She chose to date the most popular guy in school when she knew it would make the popular girls dislike her even more.
- She chose to read and retaliate to all the online hate that came her way, even though her parents told her not to.
- She has encouraged bullying numerous times through her "Famsutti Group" (a private group she created to boost her ego) and also on Twitter. Don't you think someone who has apparently experienced bullying to the extent she has and who is described by her management as "a passionate advocate against bullying" would refrain from encouraging it?
4. She is a manipulator
- Every video, every Instagram, every Snapchat, every tweet..... she is always manipulating messages across. She does this in a "bubbly, sweet, funny" way to disguise that she knows exactly what she's saying. Everything she says, especially in her videos is intentional.
- She is constantly dragging others down to lift herself up. Throwing shade at anyone who does things better than her, looks better than her, is healthier than her... her followers somehow see this as her being "relatable".
- She talks herself down on social media to fish for compliments and praise.
5. She is so far from the girl she portrays in her videos
- She acts sweet and innocent, full of knowledge and advice, but as soon as you follow her on Twitter you'll see otherwise.
- Every clothing haul she's done has been bright, colourful, printed, white, low cut, short, dresses, playsuits etc etc. She then goes on to say in her "50 Facts About Me" video that she doesn't wear anything that shows cleavage. And if you look at what she wears in every video, vlog, snapchat...... it's black!
- She has pretended to be "girly" her entire youtube life because she knows that's where the money is. Wearing white, lace, sequins, pink, hearts. Her background full of girly things.
- She hasn't worn any of the bright, colourful or white clothing you see in her clothing haul videos. It's all for show.
6. She is a compulsive liar
- If she knows she's been caught out she'll make up more lies to cover it up
- Majority of the "facts" in her "50 Facts About Me" video were lies (see Part 2 of her threads).
- She has gone ahead and deleted 30 vlogs off her vlogging channel because she knows they contain things she's said that can be pulled back out to prove she's a hypocrite.
7. She controls her online image to extreme lengths
- Every time she uploads a video she will be sitting there deleting every comment that comes through that she doesn't like - and not just negative comments... any comment that is an opinion she doesn't like, a thought she doesn't like, a question she doesn't like... if it doesn't fit with her perfect, sweet, "always right" image, it's gone.
- Same for Instagram
- Guru Gossip drives her batshit crazy because it's the one place online that she can't control her what is said about her.
8. She has copied every successful Youtuber
- See the collage below.
- After moving to Australia from England, she learnt how to act and speak from watching Lauren Curtis (mannerisms, laugh, voice)
- She randomly brought up that she's always loved to bake and that it's a talent she's never shared with her followers, then she put out a fail of a baking video stating that she's a beginner It was all to get on the Zoella bandwagon.
- She visited Shaaanxo in New Zealand on a whim and as soon as she got back she was filming with the same setup and filming settings as Shannon.
- She has now started her own Lash label (ripping off Shaaanxo and Karissa Pukas)
9. Every video is a performance
- She has admitted this herself
- The way she talks, laughs, everything is repeated over and over while filming until she gets it "just bubbly enough"
- She watches herself in the live camera feed on her computer the whole time throughout a video.
10. She is a social climber
- She has tried (and at times unfortunately succeeded) to latch onto every popular youtuber. Lauren Curtis, Cartia Mallan, Shaanxo, Shani Grimmond, Sally Jo, Nikki Tutorials, Linda Hallberg and Karissa Pukas to name a few.
- She has a group of Youtubers in Melbourne who continuously try to include her - Racheleea, Crystal Conte, Arna, Senay
- She keeps ditching them to hang out with people she feels are "more popular"
11. She is a HYPOCRITE
- She likes to preach her opinions about so many things, but the next day she'll be doing it herself!
12. She has to be the centre of attention
- She can't let anyone else have their moment, always likes to take it away to bring the attention back on herself.
- eg. She gave Maddie a playsuit, Maddie wears it looking great and Dani has to comment underneath that she gave Maddie the playsuit
- She is launching her new eyelash label on the 4th April... Shaaanxo's BH Cosmetics palette comes out on the 6th April.
13. She lost both her boyfriend and her best friend in the space of a month
- Michael was her long-term boyfriend. From what we've discovered, the general gist of their break up was while they were both over in England for the Christmas holidays, Michael "liked" a girl's image on Instagram. Dani was looking through the activity of who she follows, found it and blew up at him. He felt like she didn't trust him anymore.
- Maddie was her long-term best friend. Dani freaked out as soon as she moved out of home to her own apartment, so asked Maddie to move in with her. When Dani returned from the break up holiday with Michael, she stayed at her parent's place and didn't reach out to Maddie to let her know what had happened. Therefore Maddie had no idea what was going on. They both stopped talking to each other, Maddie started a youtube channel which Dani didn't help her with whatsoever, didn't give her a shout out, Maddie moved out with her boyfriend and the girls haven't spoken since.
14. She doesn't actually care about her subscribers
- That's all they are to her.... subscribers = views = money
- She once said in a vlog that she doesn't care about how many subscribers she has, yet she won't go a day without reminding people how many she has or where the number is up to
- She never responds to simple questions on her videos or on Instagram that take 5 seconds to write back to.
- She will only ever respond to comments if it benefits herself in some way.
- She always promoted the fact that she wrote back to all her subscribers with thank you cards, not anymore.
15. She is lost
From years of trying to morph herself into something she's not, trying to be like girls who are more popular, more successful, not finding herself as a person.... she has no sense of self.
She got into being a "Beauty Guru" because she KNEW that's "where the money is". She doesn't like beauty, she doesn't like makeup, she doesn't like false lashes.
