Roman Atwood explains stalker situation that \u2018forced him off YouTube\u2019 YouTube \/ Roman Atwood VlogsAfter remaining mostly silent on YouTube and social media for the last year, superstar Roman Atwood and his wife Brittney revealed how they were forced to leave YouTube because of harassment from several dangerous stalkers. Roman Atwood rose to prominence on YouTube through his hilarious prank videos and unique personality. Over the course of his content creation career, he amassed over 25 million subscribers across his two channels: RomanAtwood and Roman Atwood Vlogs. While his original Roman Atwood channel \u2013 where he used to share hilarious pranks with his fans \u2013 has been inactive for more than four years, the YouTuber posted consistently on his second channel until December 31, 2019. He would only post seven videos in 2020, one of which revealed his mother had passed away. After a year of infrequent uploads, Roman and his wife Brittney posted a video on January 23, 2021 and explained how they were forced off YouTube by the actions of several stalkers. The creator started by confirming they would answer the question on everyone\u2019s mind: \u201cThe super-obvious question is why have you guys literally disappeared.\u201d He explained just how serious their absence from the platform was, \u201cWe\u2019ve been on YouTube for 12 years, and for us to just vanish is serious.\u201d \u201cWe have left out of the fear of our life. We left because we had to leave,\u201d he started. Atwood then revealed the reason for their absence, \u201cWe\u2019ve been dealing with some extremely scary stalkers. I don\u2019t mean the stalkers who call your phone.\u201d The YouTuber revealed that multiple individuals targeted his family with serious harassment. The stalkers\u2019 actions included calling in a bomb threat to a family funeral, changing the family\u2019s mailing address and car insurance policy, and sending pictures taken by their home security system to the family\u2019s cell phones. \u201cThe only thing that we could do was shut down and make sure our kids are safe,\u201d Atwood explained. The stalkers also sent the family texts, Discord messages, and voicemails threatening bodily harm and death, even after changing their personal information multiple times. \u201cIt\u2019s the worst experience we\u2019ve ever had in our life,\u201d Atwood confirmed, and explained how the harassment went beyond anything they dealt with in the past. \u201cThe sad truth of all this is, this video could be an hour long. The amount of things these people have done to us is unbelievably long.\u201d \u201cI think that there\u2019s a bigger story to come,\u201d he admitted, \u201cBut this is at least our way to move on.\u201d Despite the fear and harassment the couple faced, Atwood also had plenty of positivity to share with his fans, and confirmed \u201cThere is light at the end of this tunnel.\u201d Read More: Who is Karl Jacobs? – \u201cThere\u2019s so many videos we can make just based on catching you up with our life, and I think that sounds really fun,\u201d he shared. Atwood also had optimism for their future on YouTube, and confirmed he wants to \u201cBring the excitement back, really try to focus on fun again.\u201d Despite their struggles, the Atwood family appeared ready for their YouTube return and is excited to engage with their community again. \u201cWe\u2019re so grateful,\u201d Atwood thanked his fans repeatedly, \u201cBeyond grateful for you.
