hey guys, long time lurker here. been reading this thread a lot trying to work out myself what’s happened. i stopped watching the girls about a year n a half ago but used to love them together years ago.
however i think this whole situation has brought out a lot of true colours, and i get the girls must have contracts in place which therefore they can’t necessarily say much but i do think it’s unfair to their supporters to just delete and avoid any questions. personally i think that ell must’ve gotten frustrated in their friendship. people are questioning why they’d throw away their friendship after so many years which yeah, true, but sometimes they just fizz out, with or without a reason. i was bestfriends w someone for 9 years and became really unhappy with the way i was treated and felt and decided to end the friendship - which i think possibly ell might’ve been in the same boat. as much as syd & ell were a duo - they sooner became more of a trio with molly and they don’t necessarily always work out lol, 2 are always closer than the other and i think ell just fell out of place. i have always seen ell as a very humble and kind girl but felt pressured into doing the whole influencer lifestyle with syd. she said she originally didn’t wanna do youtube but did for her, and i think syd (as much as i get annoyed by her) suits the lifestyle and actually has the personality for it, whilst i think ell never really seemed herself/wanted it and instead wanted a more private life.
i think when they eventually speak on it, syd will go forward with a solo youtube and bring molly on the channel a lot - just from watching old videos i remember her saying she’d like a family channel in the future so could possibly stem from a solo channel if that’s still what she wants to do. ell on the other hand i think will move away from youtube/influencer industry and be more private. she’s happy n glowing n good for her !! i mean i doubt we’ll ever find out the true reason behind all this though i will say i tell my boyfriend everything
i’ve even spoke out of frustration about my friends, maybe ell didn’t really have anyone else to vent to before and since this is her first serious relationship he’s made her realise and maybe given her the confidence to move away from syd and realised that she wasn’t happy as she should of been. i think her boyfriend could of given her an outside pov that she’s never really been given before. i really hope ell is happy and finds what she wants to do. i’ve always thought the way she’s handled all this at least online anyway, very respectful and classy. syd i think has shown a lot of immaturity, and i understand how frustrating it must be but i don’t think she’s handled it the best. i do think loss for syd is a struggle and she doesn’t know how to deal with it (in respect to her family, past etc) so losing someone like ell who’s she’s had for 20 years is huge, and i think she reacts the way she does because she doesn’t know how else to. hence her being around more people keeping busy etc. no excuses for syd’s behaviour however, the talking at the events and the rude comments i think were awful. but i do feel for her in that aspect, i just think she could be a lot more professional about it and respectful.
though i do think molly is loving all this n is happy she now has syd all to herself lol. it’s so obvious. she must’ve wanted this to happen for a long time.

way to make obvious molly
Ell’s the one wanting to stop the influencer life
