Jacksepticeye hits out at \u201cdisrespectful\u201d people messaging his family YT: JacksepticeyeIrish YouTuber Sean \u2018Jacksepticeye\u2019 McLoughlin has hit out at individuals messaging his family in attempts to contact him, describing it as \u201creally disrespectful.\u201d The British-based YouTuber \u2013 who is also the most followed Irish creator on the site \u2013 sits at 25.8 million followers and over 13.5 billion views. However, with such a significant following comes some unwanted attention. We have seen YouTube stars (and Brighton residents) like Alfie Deyes and Zoella hitting out at fans for turning up at their house in the past. Jackspeticeye, in a December 6 tweet, revealed that some family members have received messages off fans trying to get into contact with the 30-year-old. While he did not divulge specific details, the variety YouTuber hit out at individuals who attempt to contact his family in an effort to get a response from him. \u201cPlease don\u2019t message my family or friends just to try get in contact with me,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s really disrespectful.\u201d It\u2019s unclear if McLoughlin is referring to fans, other content creators, or members of the media. However, tracking down family members in the hope of getting the attention of the YouTuber himself is seriously out of order, regardless of the intentions underpinning the behavior. Please don\u2019t message my family or friends just to try get in contact with me. It\u2019s really disrespectful. \u2014 Jacksepticeye (@Jacksepticeye) December 6, 2020 In response to a fan inquiring about the situation, McLoughlin explained that he is not sure why, but the incidents have been occurring more frequently lately. \u201c[People] always have [tried to do it],\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just extra lately for some reason.\u201d Always have. It\u2019s just extra lately for some reason \u2014 Jacksepticeye (@Jacksepticeye) December 6, 2020 While the majority of occurrences are likely not done with the intention of invading McLoughlin\u2019s privacy, many fans agreed with his assessment of the situation as \u201cdisrespectful\u201d. Regardless of the extent to which fans want to contact the YouTuber, it\u2019s important to remember that they are as entitled to privacy and security just like anyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
