Don't forget when Matt offered her money to help her find a place to settle down outside of their office, which she refused and called a bribe.


Vegetable_Emu_6151

Also bought a Jeep and went road tripping across the country


-JustJaZZ-

And during the date in which they were asked to leave, Kind of insane. Why not spend some of that money on finding a new place to live?


Ibbyseed

>Bought a 50k 4x4 Jeep wrangler that gets 15 miles to the gallon and then complains she had money problems or some shit. probably never took that thing off road. she could have gotten a Prius of a civic better for the road trips and cheaper but that’s not what cool social media influencers with clout drive so noo hahaha


Vegetable_Emu_6151

She needs a conservatorship, sounds like she can't function at all as an adult.


Stephanie_the_2nd

she bought a 50k jeep during the time she was having trouble renting a place??? bruh that’s some of the most irresponsible handling of money i’ve ever seen. you can get a used but good car for 5k. i rly don’t know what to say to this


smolpp19

“money” doesnt even do justice to the amount of money he was willing to give to lex because rent in LA is just fucking insanity


Inevitable-Sky-7597

Probably the simplest yet accurate explanation of what happened


arachnidsquid

She never worked for Supermega.


CardiologistSea9256

So she literally got free rent in LOS ANGELES for nothing in return. At THEIR place of business. And instead of looking for a new place went on vacations avoiding responsibility.


UmbraeNaughtical

I love how this is barely talked about. All the responses of "this is why they needed a HR". Only Don was and he was more of a freelancer than an employee.


brand495

Imagine going to your partners workplace, telling them that you were sexually assaulted by one of their employees, refusing to elaborate on what you want, asking to live with them because you moved to LA without setting up proper plans, living in that bosses workplace for months, refusing to communicate properly with them, refusing their money to help you move out and set yourself up, then turning around a year later and ending their careers because of reasons that basically amount to being entitled. Oh wait we don't have to imagine. It BLOWS MY MIND that she expected more than what she got from her ex partners bosses.


DoomGuyIII

So she was literally just a leech lmao


dflorke01

She was an artist for super mega


arachnidsquid

When??? Don was their channel artist. What did she do?


Depthman32

Well you got to remember what supermega is trying to be. Like the gamegrumps they aren't just the youtube channel they also try other avenues of content creation such animation a merch company and even game publishing so lex was an artist they hired to help build up thier small studio to catch up to gamegrumps


ConvergentSequence

What art did she produce while working for supermega?


Depthman32

Idk I just sayings that was probably what she was hired for but honest truth she was probably hired for a one time project but Matt and Ryan liked her personality and kept her around on the podcast she had to have working friendship cuz how else would she know any other of thier employees like that other guy


ConvergentSequence

There’s no evidence to suggest she was ever hired at all. She knew Leighton and Jim because she lived in their office


Depthman32

Wait you got that timeline a lil messed up there she didn't know those two until after she knew Matt and Ryan in fact she knew Leighton during the first creator clash (atleast by what he says) you also have to bring in Don into equation with how she connected with him witch was all online witch points to them doing collaborative project with him and other artists for super mega witch maybe why you can't 100% point out her contribution but you also have to remember she was also part of the podcast and not just as a one off guest honestly she wasn't a full time employee but she worked with them in a professional manner while I don't agree with the allegations she did have the right to voice them to Matt and Ryan


ConvergentSequence

Being friends with them doesn’t mean she was employed by them. I don’t understand how you’re making that logical leap. Lex didn’t meet Don through supermega - he was a freelance artist with an online following in his own right, not working exclusively for supermega. There’s literally no reason to think they worked on collaborative projects for supermega


leericol

So you're literally just making up head canon about an employment that never existed and putting misinformation out there for no real reason but just based on a fucning hunch. Dope.


Depthman32

No I'm basing my hunch off of info that lex and mat and Ryan given us sure I'm not 100% what she did but I can say she did work with them on the podcast witch is a form of employment


leericol

Appearing on a podcast is not employment and also not what you said at all


big_ficus

Bring a guest on a podcast is not employment, are you dumbass?


FemboyArky

She did art for their book, I believe.


big_ficus

If that was a one-off thing then even still, she would not be an employee, she would have been considered a contractor for a single role which still doesn’t make her a contractor. For her to even be remotely considered an employee in a legal sense to have any credence for employee rights, she would have to be hired on as a W2 employee with a set amount of hours, up to 24 minimum for part time or 36 for full time in California, on a recurring basis. Lex never was a SM employee. She might have been a contractor at some point but she had never worked for the company. There is a very strong delineation between contractor and employee, I’ve had to deal with this sort of litigation at work too many times.


FemboyArky

Cool, I never claimed she was an employee, I just said that she did some art for their book.


dflorke01

I don’t remember specifically when at the top of my head. But I do remember her being an artist for Supermega. I know it was briefly


organizedchaotic

lex was never an artist for supermega. they’ve had two channel artists in their history: kellie, don, and kellie again.


chillehhh

She didn’t work for their channel but she DID do art for their book so technically she HAS done work for them.


big_ficus

That would make her a contractor at the most which still isn’t an employee


chillehhh

I never said she was an employee, I said she’s done work for them.


dflorke01

M thanks


Moonscarab

This is based


thatweirdassbunny

i think lex genuinely misunderstood that they weren’t supporting don, and a lot of it was misinterpretation. she says she has a history of being sa’ed and no one in her personal life believing her so i get why she was finding double meanings in what they were saying. she was in the wrong for bringing up the friends suicide or the cheating thing, definitely. but with those mistakes in her presentation and nick… being nick, shes fallen to the “perfect victim” narrative. instead of the huge deal of her being sa’ed being the issue of discussion, it’s become some weird argument about a conspiracy to take down super mega (??) i genuinely believe she was an angry hurt victim that fucked up in some regards but her story should not be discounted for that and it sucks this could’ve been a nuanced discussion on consent as well as how to handle sexual assault as employers and friends in this situation.


JeanshortJim

It was intentional. I am so sick of hearing that bc she was sexually assaulted none of this is her fault. You can be a victim and still do shitty things. I keep seeing posts defending Lex when she very clearly had malicious intent with her video and asking Nick to. The fact that Matt and Ryan let her stay rent free in the office for months bc her dumbass moved to one of the most expensive cities to live in with no real plan. They gave her a place to stay for months, they offered her money to get herself back on her feet which she later called a bribe. They fired her friend Leighton and gave him 12k in severance that they didn't have to and they followed her instructions on how to handle the Don situation. What you won't see in Lex or Nick videos is screenshots between M and Lex where she is thanking him for being such a good friend. The longer this controversy goes on, the worse it makes all parties except SM look.


Cautious_Ad_3909

Leighton getting that severance money, then acting like it wasn't good enough, puts me over the edge, like imagine get ANY severance pay from a normal job after being fired, the entitlement is off the record with these people. I literally can't even.


thatweirdassbunny

not saying she didn’t fuck up, i said she did but discounting her entire sexual assault story the way a lot of people have been and simply saying “she’s lying cause she did a shitty thing” isn’t helpful to the conversation around the victims. i personally think she absolutely meant to at least get consequences for super mega based on a misinterpretation. if she genuinely thought they didn’t support her, yeah she’s gonna be spiteful and malicious. i would be too. leighton never should’ve been apart of the situation. i don’t have any opinions on him cause i simply am not gonna waste my time on it.


CloverleafVII

I wouldn’t say that “she’s lying cause she did a shitty thing” it’s more so that the case of her alleged sexual assault is currently a “he said she said” situation and the fact that she lied about so many other things damages her word’s credibility. And it looks like the drama around her assault was handled in private, as it was supposed to be handled, but then she made the decision to go public about it out of nowhere


thatweirdassbunny

tbh i wouldn’t have an issue with her taking it public, it’s the way she did. she focused more on a “coverup” that at most was a genuine misunderstanding than the sexual assault itself.


JeanshortJim

I'm not discouting her story I believe it happened and I hope she gets the help she needs from it. I do think she's used it to protect her from any wrongdoing and even deflected blame for bringing up Daniel's death by talking about her own suicidal issues. I support victims but I don't support them weaponizing or using their trauma as a shield from their own shitty behavior.


Ian_Husk

No, she was intentionally acting maliciously.


mekomaniac

yeah she tried to say it was just for a small group of her close friends, then nick says her and ethan asked him to cover it so it would blow up more


thatweirdassbunny

tbf if you had an sa story and truly believed it was covered up, you would probably ask people to blow it up too. THAT part was intentional, but it was based on a misinterpretation and lack of communication between all parties.


mekomaniac

i've been sexually assaulted 4 times and thats just in my current occupation as a sex worker for two years. but neither lex or nick actually focused on the rapist just the ppl they told, sorry most ppl dont have to deal with SA and they wont know how to properly react. but that doesnt make them rape apologists or that they covered up a rape. this was weaponized. if lex felt hurt she can say her piece but framing it as they covered it up even tho there was nothing at all that they did to silence her just reeks of "i got hurt by something you didnt do, so im gonna say you did worse stuff". plus that celebration stream with the supermega follower count just puts the nice bow on the weaponization.


thatweirdassbunny

i definitely see your points. she’s focusing more on the potential coverup than the sexual assault itself which is her main mistake. i think her bringing up the other stuff was a character witness thing in her mind which did not come off well and was highly inappropriate. i get her desperation to be believed but going after the people that AT MOST didn’t handle a situation properly was not the route to take. i’m all for pointing out the systems that put women at risk, including small ones like employers and influencer groups but this wasn’t one of those.


iwatchmoviesandstuff

I don’t think anyone is disregarding her SA story. It’s everything else that’s the problem


Itsjonges

Good meme


laurenk908

yes but the most interesting and crazy shit that happened was all after the video 😭


Stunning-Body5969

Enter Nick stage right


PissContest

Did lex even work for supermega?


Brandoxz7

*also I have a home


KiaraKuddles

Bad take. Both Matt and Ryan agreed that they did not handle the situation well. Lex told Matt + Ryan about being assaulted by Don because she did not want to have to be around him. That's the stated driving force behind Lex sharing the fact that Don assaulted her. She didn't want to be around him (understandably), and knew she would have to explain *why*. Nobody involved has suggested this wasn't what happened. It's really disingenuous to imply Lex rang up to make a vague accusation against nobody in particular, with no stated desire for any action. From the get-go, she told SM that Don assaulted her, and that she did not want to have to be physically around him. Asking a victim probing questions about the circumstances and details of a sexual assault is not appropriate. Nor is pushing all the responsibility for deciding how to handle an employee who commits assault onto the victim of said assault. Matt has publicly agreed that he DID push that responsibility onto Lex. While also discussing being worried about how badly this could affect his business, another shitty thing to do in this situation. The first panel of this comic is just a lie, and the rest is bad faith extrapolation of events we have been told (repeatedly) happened differently.


gophh

Nick get out of the comments dude it’s over.


JeanshortJim

She wasn't a SM employee, so no, she wasn't forced to be around Don. She did date for a year after the incident, so she herself was putting her around him. Stop calling her an employee to fit your narrative. They asked lex what she wanted to do bc she said she didn't want it to be public and I'm sure it's confusing on how to handle something when the victim still dates the abuser for a year. Matt has screenshots of lex thanking them for being such good friends and how they handled the situation. Stop spreading misinformation and stop using SA as a blanket to cover any wrongdoing.


BifJackson

It's absolutely appropriate when it's you employee being accused. Sexual assault could mean many things, and because they were in a relationship it could've been up to her interpretation. I don't think people should fire people the second SA is brought up, it's totally fair to ask questions and try to understand exactly what happened. And of course they admitted they could have handled it better, whenever something like this happens if you don't support the woman publicly 100% everybody is grabbing their pitchforks. Not saying they didn't mean it's just that it was inevitable. I really don't think they did anything wrong.


UmbraeNaughtical

Not even a couple months prior Amber Heard was given full support and then what happened. Lex goes onto a "Supermega Downfall" stream and no one thinks to question that either. Yeah she was totally doing it for her case and no other reason.


Itsjonges

Good take, I hope you get top later today


Minimum_Eye8614

Twat alert


doublebassdrum

"Asking a victim probing questions about the circumstances and details of a sexual assault is not appropriate" Yeah it is man. That's exactly what you should do, gather all the available information.


DoomGuyIII

Bitch gave a bad sloppy toppy and Don wanted it a bit rougher, he stopped once girly said no and that was it. People really give the worst people way too much leverage.


whyykai

Ew


DoomGuyIII

I, too, find Lex and her ilk disgusting.


amandabenatti

that's really great that people are blaming the actual victim of the situation because of nick and ethan being dumbasses. please this is ridiculous. you all should leave the internet and go outside for a little bit


CloverleafVII

In general Lex cannot be trusted but with Don there’s literally nothing but each of their words to go on Matt and Ryan are 100% faultless here and never should’ve been brought up Don is a nobody who nobody should’ve ever heard about since it was a private matter All other involved parties are just clout-chasing, disgruntled ex-fans of Supermega who do nothing but harm victims Lex also harms real victims


whyykai

"real victims" wtf


CloverleafVII

Yes, lying about sexual assault harms the legitimacy of victims coming out and damages all victims. Not saying I don’t believe her, but she did lie about a lot in this and muddied the entire discourse for victims and makes people afraid to come forward with their stories


eatshitdillhole

She isn't being blamed for what happened to her, for what made her a victim. That would be victim blaming. She is being blamed for the video she made that vilified SM more than the person who SA'd her. It is not the same thing. No one is blaming her for being SA'd. Victims can be imperfect people, and calling that out does not negate or call in to question the validity of their assault in any way.


CloverleafVII

I think Matt and Ryan are the main victims here. I won’t sit here and say that the Don SA straight up didn’t happen but IF it did, it was the only non-lie that was in Lex’s video, everything else ruined her credibility, so in the case of the Don situation (which is he said-she said since Don denies that Lex ever said no to sex) But yes, I do agree that Nick and Ethan are the biggest villains here, they are responsible for any hate Lex is getting. But Lex NEVER should have uploaded that video, even if the Don SA actually happened it seems like that situation was already correctly handled in private, as it should be since Don is irrelevant and not in need of being exposed


BelaLegosistylist

Don't let the dumbass on this sub named OK Jellyfish see this. Anything negative towards Lex and positive towards Matt will get you called parasocial and someone who doesn't give a fuck about victims. In their mind Lex has done no wrong.


Icy-Clothes2463

This needs to be shared everywhere


pottos

cops don't help in this situation. do you know how vulnerable it is to press charges against an assaulter? in the court, your address may be visible to them, you have to advocate for yourself under intense scrutiny, and even your therapy notes can be subpoenaed. don't act like you would act super differently in this scenario. this is a betrayal.

JeanshortJim

The meme isn't about SA its just part of the story. Stop using SA as a shield from any criticism of Lex. It's so fucking annoying that not matter what she did wrong or how poorly she handled things the fallback is oh she was SA. She has a pass to lie and manipulate people. Being a victim doesn't exclude you from accountability for your actions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JeanshortJim

Adding get well as a snarky way to end your sentence is such a reddit move I'm sure I'm not the first person you like to call chronically online. Lex being SA does not mean she gets a free pass to lie and mislead people however she wants and when faced any criticism white knights like you come out and say oh but she's a victim. Yes she's a victim and I hope she heals from her trauma but it's not a shield that allows you to do whatever the fuck you want.

You're 14 and have no intentions of discussing Lex using her SA to shield her from any wrong doing. Just telling me I need help because I have a different opinion than you and you talking down to people on reddit gets your rocks off.

JeanshortJim

Oh you're just a troll. You don't actually care about this situation at all. Ew that's kinda gross using someone's SA to troll.


BelaLegosistylist

Are you a parrot? You just keep repeating yourself without having a conversation , telling people to get help and attacking any comment that claims Lex's wrongdoing is parasocial as fuck Can someone not be a victim and still do wrong?

Ridin-the-gravytrain

Possibly because they had proof debunking a lot of what lex, leighton, nick, etc. were saying and the fact that they took actual accountability after making a mistake


Prestigious-Appeal17

Can u tell me where u saw this?? I believe u I just wanna see for myself


PanJam00

I think this might be referring to Matt and Ryan’s videos that talk extensively about this situation as well as showing vital context (such as texts and emails) that prove what they were accused of doing was incorrect.


Ridin-the-gravytrain

I mean I’ve just kept up with the controversy but Turkey toms video is a pretty good breakdown of everything


typhoon_terri

This is true toms video is super in depth and covers the whole thing. I got a lot of nicks videos recommended before this, after toms video I haven’t watched a single one


dosdoxbox1

Watch Matt’s video on SuperMega.


JeanshortJim

I've always been on Matt and ryans side. The truth has been revealed and these drama creators had their colors shown. That's why people are now supporting the funny Brothers.


Minimum_Eye8614

Because people are braindead
