One thing I didn't expect about the react yesterday was just how cruel Phil would be. He admitted fault only twice, and both times it was about videos he made publicly he shouldn't have. He never thought any of his conduct was wrong- it was always just that it was public.
Meanwhile, he entirely backed up and doubled down on his cruelty to Howard. He called Howard: overemotional, attention-whore, flaky, he was inserting himself in the drama, not my friend, jealous, poisoning the well with John and everyone else, resentful that Phil moved, and a flat out liar. There was no attempt at burying the hatchet or ever giving benefit of the doubt. This guy Phil has many hours of video being friends with and joking around, he has no issue just throwing him under the boss, like that.
The worst part was when Phil was talking about moving, and admitting he "guilt tripped the fuck" out of Howard because he knew Howard was lying about having something come up with his girlfriend and "called him on his bullshit" said if he didn't show "they were never friends, and it shows what kind of person Howard is". So Howard goes. What does he get? Besides googatz, he gets to make money for Phil, and not get paid for it. And then years later Phil says he "couldn't believe" Howard's behavior that day as if Howard was out of line. Modern Phil thought in this situation, Howard was the asshole to him somehow.
It's recounting stories like that where he really betrays what a psychotic nigger he is. He is not a human being
