Eugenia Cooney shares heartwarming reaction to Shane Dawson documentary Shane Dawson, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Eugenia Cooney stirred up concern across the internet in early February, after uploading a cosplay video that showed her body in a near-skeletal state: and, although she took a lengthy social media hiatus following the backlash, she\u2019s finally back, thanks to longtime YouTuber Shane Dawson. Shane Dawson\u2019s long-awaited documentary series finally dropped on July 19, after months of relative radio silence that had some fans wondering if he was going to cover such subjects as a \u201chaunted hotel.\u201d However, there are no ghosts in Dawson\u2019s latest upload: instead, he decided to document the transformation of Eugenia Cooney, who has been a subject of controversy throughout her YouTube career due to an apparent eating disorder \u2013 one that she heavily denied. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X9tEZhw4GMMCooney addressed the concern around her health during a series of conversations with Dawson throughout his video, where she admitted to suffering from an eating disorder that she declined to officially label. \u201cI guess like, before, there would be times where I realized, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m not eating enough, I really should be taking better care of myself,\u2019\u201d she said of the matter. \u201c\u2026I guess it\u2019s like smoking or something, where people kind of know, \u2018I should stop this.\u2019\u201d (Timestamp: 35:43 for mobile viewers) Despite the heavy-hitting content, Dawson\u2019s documentary was met with critical acclaim, reaching the number one spot on YouTube\u2019s trending page and seeing a wave of support toward Cooney \u2013 a development that saw her post an emotional Tweet shortly thereafter. \u201cSeeing so much support is making me cry,\u201d she wrote of the video. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s been a really difficult year and it\u2019s a hard journey, but if I can overcome my demons, know that you can too. Love you all.\u201d Seeing so much support is making me cry. :sob: Thank you guys so so much for being so kind and positive towards me. It’s been a really difficult year and it’s a hard journey, but if I can overcome my demons, know that you can too.
