Trashfire Adam Kovic & Ryan Haywood (The Dead Pixel / Koko / Pikovic, and James Ryan Haywoood / Iron Ryan / The Mad King / Vagabond) - Rooster Teeth associates who've sent horrifying nudes behind their families' backs in what looks like a gay catfish

[deadson]

Alright, so are people going to pour sympathy on this one? Because out of all of them she's the oldest and helped him fuck the others over. Does she deserve sympathy? A little, I guess. I'm not so sure. Knowing the RT community they'll either tuck her under their wing and tell it's all okay or go ballistic. There's no middle ground with RT.

Emotional abuse is a hell of a thing to deal with, bro. Doesn't matter how old you are, you still feel like shit regardless.

Context matters. He's talking about giving them money and maybe later (wink wink nudge nudge) they can "repay" him with sex. Or offering to pay for their travel so they can meet up with him for sex. If he'd come right out and said "I'll pay you $300 right now if you'll meet me at the Motel 6 off highway 34, room 12, at 9:00pm tonight" that'd be a different story. But the "playful" tit-for-tat in these texts doesn't meet the threshold you'd need to make a solicitation charge stick.

If courts were beholden to context that much, nobody would EVER be busted for prostitution.
“Sorry judge, but she clearly stated we were on a date before she got in my car.”.

Well not anymore. The "7th victim" was 28 at the time. Kek.

To Ryan

To Ryan, I feel taken advantage of. You were my boss. I was your YouTube mod / manager. For the past couple of years, I felt I couldn’t say no without repercussions. What would happen if I did? Would you take YouTube away from me? Would it be some awkward working relationship? Maybe that’s why...

28, yes, but his direct employee. She's older and (hopefully) more emotionally mature than the others, but she's still in a place where Ryan was an authority figure and there's more of a compulsion to go alone with what he says -- after all, her finances were on the line. The ages are different, but the key component is still here: all of the people Ryan fucked saw him as being older and in a greater position of power than them, and that letting him fuck them was them doing a favor for said authority figure (and, in their heads, they might get something in return).

True enough, I guess.

Jesus Christ, its almost 20 women now. There's people who have been jailed for less

This is a comment from a reddit thread about it. What the fuck are these people on about? No wonder they fucked up the Boston Bombing investigation, they can't count and they can't keep anything straight.

I understand the power part but unlike most of the victims she isn't showing screenshots AND said that she tried to get another girl to sleep with him. All sympathy lost, manipulated or not once you try to pull a Ghislaine Maxwell you're just as bad as the guy telling you what to do.

This last one feels like someone jumping on the bandwagon for attention.

She admits she wanted to sleep with him because he said his wife wouldn’t. She offered because she’d gone through a sexless relationship before and it sucks. But then she claims she couldn’t say no cuz he’s her boss. So which is it? You gave him pity sex or you gave him pressured boss sex?

I don’t know about you all, but I’ve never offered sexual services to lonely friends.

The fact that she admits she helped him try and get other girls too... reeks of her only worried that one of those girls would come out and throw her to the wolves. She wasn’t worried about what would happen if she came out, she’s worried about what happens when those other girls come out.

This one is just written different. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s making me feel no empathy towards her.

 

[Slamerella]

I stop looking for like. One or two days. And this is what I see.
Really playing out that "Mad King" title that you gave yourself, huh ryan?

If this was number 3, I would probably feel entirely the same way. I agree, she's not completely faultless here. But Ryan clearly is a manipulative predator, who used his star-power to sleep around. Even if she is a somewhat lesser case, Ryan is still a piece of shit for it.

She wanted Ryan and was willing to procure girls to have sex with him. That's it. Bitch probably was one of the mods who made the girls feel bad when they tried to come out about this. She's just trying to cover up her own ass.

Cringe shit like this makes it so hard to be on these people side

She’s an asshole. YouTube isn’t worth your soul. She also had the gaul to call the other girl “dense” for not getting turnt out by a guy that looks like a fucking house painter. But her, the smarter one, ate the bait and asked for seconds. And honey.. pass for 18? You’re about as good at estimating ages as Ryan lol.

The only thing I like about her is the dirt she can provide as an insider. And I bet quite a few more of his staff throws him under the bus in the next 24 hours.

This is like "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" - each time a hat is ripped off, a more elaborate and ostentatious one appears in its stead.

Jesus Christ.

 

[T0oCoolFool]

The 7th one isn't what I'd call a victim, but her coming forward does provide even more evidence of Ryan being a sex pest and a serial cheater.

Ryan is going to be completely fucked when his wife files for divorce.

 

[tigergrinder]

Holy fuckin' shit, that was a crazy backread. I thought Adam was the more twisted of the two, but Ryan really is a sick fuck.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Interesting, Jeremy actually responded to this one. I wonder if she is known to other RT employees sonce she kind of worked for Ryan.

I noticed that too. What a weird, backhanded way to describe someone who has self respect. Sounds like someone wishes they had that, maybe they wouldn't be in this situation.

 

[northstar747]

I would like to point out that dax Herrera and ethan ralph wish they were this guy. get ryan on the kill stream!

 

[JesusChristSuperstar]

And we're at 7 ! Honestly, I'll take 10 by the end of the week for 200 Alex.

He absoutetly has a lot more people waiting in the woods and I truly belive that he's continuing to contact people in hopes that he can silence them, which honestly will probably work too.

>28 years old
>Didn't give any real new info, only corroborating what many others have said at this point (lied about his marriage being celibate, played emotional mind games, etc)
>Was one of his mods and therefore knew about other girls (and helped him when he was trying to score one, wtf???)
>flowery second person bullshit where she addresses him directly, making it more about her and less about standing with the other victims

Solid 2/10 this one. Alleviate your guilty conscience elsewhere. Bring on the next one I say.

She mods for Jeremy on twitch as well

 

[haurchefant]

To be frank I laughed upon reading that because the modern mod/e-celeb relationship seems to be a bit more than fan level or even purely professional, no matter what it is.

Here's the full google doc in case it gets changed or deleted.

Spoiler: To Ryan

To Ryan,

I feel taken advantage of. You were my boss. I was your YouTube mod / manager. For the past couple of years, I felt I couldn’t say no without repercussions. What would happen if I did? Would you take YouTube away from me? Would it be some awkward working relationship?

Maybe that’s why you “trusted” me. That’s what you said. You said I was your friend.

You sent me a sexual comment after I made a height joke. That was at lunch time on a Sunday in Sept 2017. By that evening you were sending me nudes.

I didn’t ask for it. I didn’t want it. But yeah I did it. I played along with it because I thought it was harmless fun.

Then you told me bout your wife and how you didn’t get any sex and you were basically celibate. I went through the same thing in a prior relationship. I knew what that was like. I didn’t want you to have to experience it too.

So I slept with you.

I felt guilty doing it. I wanted to stop. But then it was like what would happen. I worked for you. So I pushed it aside. I repressed it. I focused on trying to have fun even when I was anxious as hell.

I struggled with adhd and anxiety and you knew it. I told you about it. I told you when I had really good days and things were great. I told you when I couldn’t get anything done and adhd was making my life hell. You and I talked about social anxiety.

I left something important to me because of something you said. Was that a lie Ryan? Was it the truth? It hurts. I miss it everyday. I want to go back but I don’t know if I can.

My feelings have fluctuated over the past couple of days. I’ve told people. Starting with someone I knew I could trust. Then I told another. And another. They’ve helped.

Now, I’m just numb. I had asked you how many people. You said 1 or 2. This isn’t 1 or 2 Ryan. This is a helluva lot more than that.

The post on Thursday is what pushed me. On Tuesday and Wednesday you asked me, begged me not to say anything. Because you know what I have. But that post on Thursday resonated with me. It was exactly like you treated me. I cried while reading it.

Because of you, I have trust issues. I know you pitted me against your other mods. And for what? Your own pleasure and amusement? Or was it to keep me from telling them what was happening? Was it ultimately to keep your secret?

I lost friends because I trusted you. I don’t know if what you’ve told me is a truth or a lie. I have a lot of doubts right now.

Want to know how I’m doing, Ryan? I weigh in the double digits now. I was 104 last Sunday. I’m 97 now.

I tried telling you no to something, clearly hesitant and uncomfortable. But you said you know how to make me say yes.

I’ve been scared to come out and say anything, in fear of what you would do. I kept my mouth shut.

I will not be silent now.




10/13 Update

Here is a bit more that is not “addressed to him”.

He regularly did not use condoms. Even though I was under the impression that it was me and another woman who I knew. I asked him about this, made references to it, gave him chances to say if there were more. He still always said it was me and her.

I know there are others he wanted. Sadly, I helped. He asked me to do him a favor and I helped. I am ashamed of that. Thankfully though, the other person was dense and nothing ever came of it. I’m glad for that. They’re doing well and they don’t know. He asked other favors but that one stood out to me. It felt wrong to me then and it feels worse now.

He would throw all this attention and praise at you, make you feel special, and I ate it up. I fell for it. I liked it. It was kind of like a drug. Then he would basically ghost you. And I’d wonder what happened. And if you asked what was wrong, or what happened, he would tell you nothing was wrong or that what you had experienced was not the truth. I’ve never fully looked back at the snap chat records before this, but yeah, he was lying on that one too.

I look back at my messages and cringe. I sound desperate and anxious. It wasn’t healthy. I’m glad to have met others who had a similar experience. It’s a relief.

As to the lack of screenshots, I’m still scared of him. I didn’t want him to know that I was sharing this. Last week, he had begged and pleaded with me not to say anything. He had told me about downing a bottle of pills and when I asked because I was scared for him, he told me no, he wouldn’t do that. I didn’t want him to have any warning because otherwise he might try and stop me.

If you’re wondering about me not fitting the age profile. Look at me. I regularly get mistaken for an 18 year old. He made several allusions to innocence too. I think he was under the impression that I was around that age. He never asked but I did tell him my age because I thought that would be something he would be concerned with.

He thought it was all between consenting adults. It’s hard to have consent when the person is your boss. How exactly do you tell them no? So I pushed through the anxiety. I pushed through the hesitations. Forced myself to have fun and focus on that. And as he said, he knew how to get me to say yes.

I would be interested to know if Ryan was actually holding her "job" over her head (whatever that is, I don't know who this chick is but she makes it sound like she was a glorified babysitter) in order to blackmail her into having sex with him or if she just made that up inside her head. Still sad and desperate but not as petrifying as the other encounters, she's old enough to know better. She just didn't care.

Well she can sleep well at night knowing she contributed to this fucking mess
