The Mandy clip "definitely was really shitty" for his wife?
If you may recall, the favored theory in Elissa's comment section at the time was that Nick's wife took him aside for a screaming session after the Mandy stream, and that's why he leapt into action immediately to try to get it taken down when he found out Elissa had clipped it (which was stupid, since it only brought more attention to it). I feel like this is as close to confirmation that we're going to get that that theory was correct.
I also like Nick's boasting about how he would never "try and wrangle excuses" for the stream two paragraphs after trying to make excuses that he was "in a real shitty slump for a lot of reasons, and exceedingly intoxicated."
Maybe I am being over-sensitive, but that post-holiday stream where he 'apologised' for people being right, but they told him in a 'faggot way' so he didn't listen... That irks me. Moreso than the weird rape fantasy he had about me (Nick, that was a joke) and the call-outs by name. The wholesale disregard of people who followed him for years and gave him a lot of money bothers me more than the specific barbs.
If it was Kayla who told him off, then the issue wasn't
HOW people were giving him criticism, but who. He was told for a full year in about every way possible that he was drinking to excess and oversharing dramatically about his sex life, and his response ranged from ignoring it to lashing out.
You may recall that the infamous Mandy stream was also the stream where he claimed that Rekieta Law was never a law channel and where he demanded that people who didn't like his non-law content to "please never give me money and fucking leave". At that point, as he was about to leave for vacation, he felt very strongly that the criticism was wrong and he didn't even want the critics to keep giving him money; he just wanted them to fuck off!
Suddenly he got back from his vacation and magically concluded that all of that criticism was right. I wonder what happened in the intervening time that was so significant he did a complete and total 180 about the entire focus of his show?
PC is right on the money here. @Kalea asking about Energii-King is really the mildest of ribbing. There are so many ways he could have handled that, including laughing, but he chose to demod her and bitch her out.
Nick is trying to have it both ways. He is seething about having to clarify whether his marriage is "STILL MONOGAMOUS" and mockingly adding "shocker" to that statement while being absurdly evasive about whether they went to Hedonism II the first time, let alone twice, as the Energii_King follow makes seem possible, if not likely.
What he told the turkey was incoherent and ridiculous, making distinctions about hiding versus not disclosing vacation destinations.
Because he can't be honest about the stuff that's out in the open, of course people are going to speculate further. And as he's being evasive, it's hard to put any degree of weight on his denials. That doesn't mean that I believe the denials are false. that simply means I don't put any value on what he's saying, and won't unless he stops being evasive.
His seething about people not becoming "unpissed" seems, frankly, delusional. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. People know more about Rekieta's personal life, and in particular his sex life, than they EVER wanted to know, and that information was directly in conflict with his past positions and his past persona. You can't un-overshare. And you can't overshare and then get pissed that some people don't seal clap what you're up to and instead criticize it or (as in the case of Kalea) lightly mock it.
