This is true, tbh I would even consider what she had done here a safeguarding issue, so his parents certainly needed informed.I think its one of them caught between a rock and a hard place kind of things.
I think she needs this push to get off of YouTube, and get a normal job. It's disgusting that she can do all of this and still rack up enough of a following (and money) for a massive house with dogs, a walk in wardrobe, office space and all the shite she hauls. If she did this in her work place, and spread vile things about her coworkers, then surely she'd be brought to the management for a chat?
But I also don't like her grandparents being caught up in it, I think her mum has the right to know considering she is involved indirectly with it being her son getting the blame, and in case it goes further. I think Demi needs to come out with it now before it spreads, a good honest apology now might be the difference between her losing her platform and keeping it.
I think if she broached the subject now she could work through this with her followers, it may even set a good example that its never to late to admit past mistakes, apologise and move forward having learnt something.
That doesn't account for someone else telling him, which is a very real possibility. I'm sure his peers at school know his sister is a youtuber, it only takes one of them to run her name through Google and he would be tortured. I actually consider what she's done here a safeguarding issue.I feel sorry for her brother. I actually think it would have been better for him to not find out that his sister threw him under the bus to try and save herself. Imagine knowing that someone in your own family let people think you made an account on a gossip site to bitch about their friends and talk about their tits.
