Gus Johnson claims Abelina Sabrina video denouncing YouTuber \u201cmischaracterized\u201d him YouTube: Gus JohnsonGus Johnson was condemned following an October 2021 video from ex-partner Abelina Sabrina claiming the YouTube star was abusive during their relationship, including through an ectopic pregnancy. Six months on, Johnson has said he has been \u201cmischaracterized\u201d throughout the drama, sharing his story. Abelina Sabrina\u2019s October 2021 video titled \u201cMy ectopic pregnancy\u201d \u2014 while not mentioning Gus Johnson by name \u2014 claimed the YouTube star across their three-year relationship was unsupportive, abusive, and uncaring, including during her pregnancy scare. Sabrina outlined situations where Johnson was dismissive of her issue, including ignoring her pain to create content instead and go out drinking. Gus Johnson did issue his own apology in a five-minute reply in January, around three months after Sabrina\u2019s allegations were made public. However, another three months on, Johnson has defended himself in a candid interview with Twitch star \u2018Paymoneywubby\u2019. In it, the disgraced YouTube star stated Sabrina \u201cmischaracterized\u201d Johnson\u2019s actions throughout the ordeal. He also explained while he doesn\u2019t \u201cwant to negate or discredit some of the legitimate trauma she had to go through,\u201d there were two sides to the story. \u201cIt was real. It was painful. I was just absolutely so saddened that we had to go through this shit,\u201d he opened with. Johnson explained Sabrina and himself agreed that if she did get pregnant, they \u201cwould seek a termination\u201d since they \u201cdidn\u2019t have a lot of [their] personal life in order.\u201d However, after they got the news she was expecting, Sabrina \u201cstarted to express a change of her mind in regards to what we\u2019d do with the kid. \u201cShe fully changed her mind on that, and I didn\u2019t deal with that in a mature way. I was really fearful, and I told her that \u2018I wasn\u2019t ready for this,\u2019\u201d he admitted. Once it was discovered Sabrina had an ectopic pregnancy \u2014 where it starts developing outside of the uterus \u2014 he tried to be supportive. While he didn\u2019t go with her to hospital, instead honoring a podcast obligation, he soon joined her for surgery and then recovery. \u201cIn the year that followed the surgery, she and I went to so many doctors appointments together, saw dozens of specialists. Our lives, day-to-day, were pretty heavily dictated by the situation,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt felt like nothing was being figured out, and nothing could be done this entire time [in recovery]. There was just times I just frustrated at the problem, at the situation not getting better, and I said some stupid things. I have since apologized for these things. It\u2019s embarrassing. \u201cThis was borne out of fear and exhaustion, but that does not make them okay.\u201d Things in Johnson and Sabrina\u2019s relationship soured in the years following the ectopic pregnancy, culminating in their September 2021 break-up. However, after nearly a year of couple\u2019s therapy and them then privately parting, Sabrina expressed an interest in getting back together. \u201cIt was pretty shortly after we did privately break up that I was watching the dog one weekend to get some stuff from my house and get the dog. She surprised me because she had brought me some gifts and said she wanted to get back together with me. She was sorry it didn\u2019t work out, and she didn\u2019t want to give up. \u201cI just looked at all the effort we had put in the last year, and I thought we had as much of a try as we could have, but I said, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m just not there right now.\u2019 This was before I put out the public statement on Twitter, and I was texting her that morning saying \u2018I want you to weigh in on what we\u2019re saying.\u2019 \u201cShe screamed at me, saying, \u2018put out whatever you want but don\u2019t say it was mutual, that\u2019s a lie.\u2019 She slammed my door and left the house. Very shortly afterwards this video came out that talked about the worst time in both of our lives, and I just wasn\u2019t expecting it.\u201d The fallout from that video, Johnson believes, deeply mischaracterized him. This included Sabrina sharing posts from random people on Twitter attacking him, as well as making memes about the situation. Sabrina also reportedly approached close friends of Johnson, as well as business partners, pressuring them into distancing themselves from him. This includes Eddy Burback, who Gus did a podcast with up until October 2021. \u201cShe took to a lot of my friends and people I do business with to get them to stop working with me. I know this because in the last half a year I\u2019ve had a number of these people come to me personally and just say that she made them feel extraordinarily uncomfortable,\u201d he stated. Johnson did put out a sketch in December 2021 which received widespread criticism for being tone-deaf to Sabrina\u2019s concerns \u2014 something he admitted was \u201cnever his intention\u201d despite reaching out to others for advice. He later put out an apology video in January 2022 to address the problems publicly head on. Sabrina discredited some of Gus\u2019 claims, including one where they went to couple\u2019s therapy. After sharing receipts and documentation on Twitter, her tone then changed in his eyes. \u201cThere were a lot of digs at my character and my decisions,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe tweeted out trying to discredit the counselor, calling her a TikTok therapist, and then she tried to share intimate details \u2014 completely mischaracterized and taken out of context \u2014 about things we talked about in those sessions. \u201cShe took that down immediately, and then an hour or so later, she tweeted out she was not going to continue talking about this. I think you could clearly see the contradiction in intention in those two things within the span of a few hours.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Gusbuckets\/status\/1485735357945552898 As Johnson looks at rebuilding his platform on YouTube \u2014 he has posted about once a week since the apology went live \u2014 he is also working towards clearing his name with those important to him. For the general public? He has \u201cno interest in a public back-and-forth about this situation.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been living\u2026really afraid of what to do and uncertain of where I stand with a lot of people. I want people to know that I\u2019m not trying to discredit anymore or start any problems with people,\u201d he concluded. \u201cIn the last half a year, it\u2019s been really difficult in a lot of areas and it\u2019s eroded my mental health significantly. I\u2019m finally getting to a place in my personal life where hopefully a lot of this has subsided, but it\u2019s difficult as I continue to put myself on my own platforms. \u201cIt\u2019s hurtful, embarrassing, and difficult to see a good number of people with a fully misrepresentative idea of what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
