"Why I Left" Video

Post by Smh »

Her "Why I left" video...... LOL what a dramatic crybaby! You have a net worth of tens of millions. Stop acting like you have lived some horrible life. Get real, girl.

That new video pisses me off so much! I hate how she keeps painting herself like this sweet "people pleaser" who "struggled" to get where she is now. Girrrl, you never struggled a day in your life, most of your backstory is made up, and all the "sad things" that happened to you, e.g. the lawsuit and your makeup line tanking, were all entirely your fault. God, I despise her - she is so damn manipulative. I am sure she's planning some new marketing scheme that is connected to this video's overall message of "simplicity" and whatnot. I can just smell the carefully set up marketing bullshit in this pseudo-authentic video, lol.

I haven't posted here in like a year or more but hHAHAHA piss off.

Oh my life is so hard boo hoo it's hard being rich isn't it?
"I left everything, my success, my life, behind~" like please darling do you think the average person who feels overwhelmed can fk off and somehow manage to live in Switzerland with ~no connections~ for a year doing jack shite?

This is like those rich people who are completely out of touch with reality.

To be fair, she did admit the reason she could disappear for a year was because she got rich. I think the video was a bit melodramatic, especially that school of life bit :?
she low key admitted to her surgery as well when the video was showing pics of smaller nose, bigger mouth and stuff and I think its good that she admitted she went all commercialised
Don't take me for a wk cuz I absolutely hated her new (well, year old new) videos, although I have a soft spot for watching her since I was small

I felt the same way watching this video. Seems she is getting ready to market something to her audience. If she really wanted to be relatable and take it back to how she first started, why not just sit down in front of the camera and talk to her subscribers instead of the dramatic animation.

It's just a continuation of her narration under a new packaging :roll:

I'm new to Michelle's thread (used to watch her but just never bothered to lurk much I guess) but after seeing her newest video after months of her not uploading, I just couldn't believe the shit I was hearing, she makes it out like someone was holding a gun to her head and forced to to be a sellout making her sooo unhappy, but honestly all it shows is how out of touch she is with reality. She talks about being successful and providing for her family in the beginning, so you'd think she'd be feeling lucky and appreciative to have a decent career and a roof over her head, let alone being able to abandon all of your life and responsibilities and jet off to Switzerland for 10 months :roll:

The reason she's so depressed is because she got greedy, that's all. If money wasn't making her happy, why didn't she ever do any charity work? No one forced her to sell out and become a hollow shell doing nothing but shilling crap and spewing lies to make a quick buck. She chose to be like that, so she has to deal with the repercussions. Lawsuits for stealing copyrighted music and slapping her name on unsafe products are honestly what she had coming. She can just keep throwing the aforementioned money at her problems since it makes her so unhappy and all :roll: She got off lightly considering what an ungrateful and hollow person she seems to have become.

Her point was that money doesn't buy happiness, but it doesn't look like she tried to do anything about it. I have this problem with a lot of youtubers, they seem to live in excess and they're still soo depressed because they let their greed get the best of them and they don't bother to learn anything or contribute to society, they have every opportunity but they waste it and choose to become hollow and soulless and constantly wanting more. Michelle just kept being greedy and shilling more and more and then she just disappeared for 10 months, and no doubt by next month she'll be back into the same cycle. Honestly I don't think she's even changed or ever going to change either, this whole sob story was just an 11 minute trailer for the same crappy person shilling the same crappy stuff in shiny new packaging.

TDLR; She feels like this because she was greedy. She chose to sell out and she's probably never going to change. Somebody give this woman a reality check.

probably her newly redone makeup brand. I love how in the video, she talked about schilling products and feeling like the life was being sucked out of her because she basically became an advertising pusher, yet at the very end, she's like oh yeah also buy my makeup lolz!

Her new video is so fake! I thought people dug up some stuff about her family was the opposite of struggling when she was young?

I honestly can't with these rich, out of touch youtubers. Does she really think this will be relate-able to anyone? I was honestly afraid to look at the comments of that video and see a bunch of naive little kids who were manipulated by this Hollywood narrative and the sad music. Glad there are more people who are smart enough to see through this bullshit.

I almost felt sorry for her, I really did.. ANYONE can suffer depression no matter how much money you earn. But at the end of all she talked about, she plugs her new business. Like have you not learned a thing, Michelle? So sad.

Felt like she was blaming others for feeling depressed and unhappy.

I guess she is on comment deleting spree. There were a bunch of comments just a couple of hours ago with like 500+ upvotes, discussing how out of touch with reality she was. And my fav, how she, tired of money, went to Switzerland - the most expensive country in the world.

First time poster, i dislike her but since she left - didn't want to participate. Today this video was suggested to me and i was profoundly baffled how wrong it was on so many levels, so pathetic and melodramatic. And student...of life? Give me a fucking break!
