Hi guys,

Just a quick update regarding recent events. Some of you may be aware that I've hurt a number of people in the ASMR community through lies and deceit. To allow time for people to heal, and have their voices heard, I've removed myself from social media, and I'll be taking a break from uploading videos too.

I don't think it's helpful to anyone for me to share 'my side' of things, and I don't want to shout over or invalidate what anyone has to say. Indeed, you're all welcome to tell me just what you feel below. But please know that I'm seeking professional help for my behaviour and am working on how to move forward with my wife.

I want to thank you for your ongoing support. I understand if any of you wish to withdraw your pledge, I will completely understand. Otherwise, in the hiatus on my channel I will continue to share some of the videos I've already recorded here, if you think it's appropriate.

Thank you so much.

Great news. It's just a chapter...not the whole book. It might be the suckie chapter where the plot twists and turns...but just a chapter.

I’ll stick around. Take care, friend.

Where would I go? You have given me dreams, drive and purpose. The least that this little daffodil can do is be here for you. I'll patiently await your return, with all the love in the world, as will we all. 💗💗💗

My heart is breaking 💔 I have no idea what happened, but everyone makes mistakes darling. Lord knows I have. My list includes: Lying ✅ Cheating ✅ Stealing ✅ Deceiving ✅ Addiction ✅ People hurt ✅ All you are telling me is that you're human. I hope that you are able to resolve this and find some peace. Know that you are loved. I'll still be here. PLEASE upload what you already have. And NO, I won't be pulling my support. You use it for whatever for you need to.

I personally do not know what's going on, and it is non of my business. But I am not going anywhere! So I just wanted to say whatever it is , I hope you will be alright. If mistakes are made...well that's completely human. So please hang in there and I am just sending you all positive vibes and virtual hugs if you need/want them. And most of all, take all the time you need!

Dude, as someone who has recently joined I honestly have no idea what happened but I am genuinely concerned for your wellbeing. I'm happy to hear you're taking a break, but saddened to know that whatever happened, it has put a pause on this wonderful creative outlet that's therapeutic for all those involved. It's important to retreat and focus on self care. Take all the time you need and just know that I'm not going anywhere. :)

Thoughts to you and your wife for healing, Jim. Take care of yourself and see you on the other side.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but really appreciate the update. Do what you need to do for yourself, and don't give too much weight to social media nonsense. The loudest voices represent a tiny portion of humanity, so keep it in perspective. You are a very talented artist, and appear to me to be a genuinely caring person, for which things you have my undying support. Please feel free to continue uploading videos here. I'm sure your true fans and supporters will appreciate them. And remember, people's reactions say more about them, than about the person or event they are reacting to. Be true to yourself. That is what's most important above all else. Peace and love.

I have no idea what is going on or what has happened, but I am not going anywhere either. Please take care of yourself Jim, and take the time you need to heal. I support you and will continue to be one of your patrons. I think you’re wonderful. Much love and gratitude. 🙏💜

It's OK Jim, everyone makes mistakes. It's just human nature...And social medias can be a real battlefield sometimes, so taking a step back can be very beneficial. Take all the time you need, we will be there for your return. In the meantime, take care of yourself, it's the most important. Lots of love 😘

Well, you don’t have to explain because some private things were posted on Twitter, now deleted. I hate the drama and I believe in keeping private things private! If you love your wife, then fight to make it work. If it doesn’t work, at least you can say you tried your best. We all make mistakes and sometimes people get hurt. As for everything else, apologize where you need to and try not to repeat the mistake. Just think what is most important to you. Your well-being is very important. Your channel is definitely important and a creative outlet. Isn’t that the real reason you started it? Internet fame can disappear anytime. I will support you. I love your content and you! I hope for peace and healing for anyone hurting in this situation. I wish you would never stop uploading. Best wishes to you and your wife. Good vibes to all involved. *Hugs* Xoxo 🖤

Having been where you are, there’s not much to really say that’ll help at all. But I do respectfully disagree that withdrawing completely serves anyone. Don’t abase yourself, and we’ve talked about defensiveness, but public accountability is better in the long run. They don’t owe you shit, you don’t owe them shit but their space, not yours. Idk, there’s more to say and no way to say it. Reach out when you can, isolation won’t help shit either. ✌️

I trust that you will do what you need to in order to work things out as well as possible and grow from the experience.

I've taken down the notice I put on youtube as it was too painful for both me and my wife to relive it and be judged, and also people were writing things that simply aren't true, and perhaps it is better to keep it as private as I'm able. I hope you all understand that. Thank you for all your kind words - I will continue to post videos here, if it feels appropriate, as well as keep you updated, if anybody is interested. Thank you.

My life experiences may have given me a different outlook than some, but I believe in second chances. Not the sort given to you by others but those you can give yourself, where you've recognized (or been thrust into the reality of) what you've been doing. It doesn't change what's been done but do what you need to heal and repair what you can, knowing some things may not recover. Take your time. These things don't happen quickly.

I’m sorry to hear that personal matters were discussed on social media. It’s not nice and I hope that you manage to find some sort of resolution so that you can get back to focusing on making your amazing videos!! Take care

Joining the chorus in that I have no idea what's going on, only that I awoke to this news along with my boyfriend testing positive for covid-19. Quite honestly, Jim, I'll continue to support you as your content has helped me through some tough times. I do think posting your content here, or on youtube, is certainly appropriate as they are already recorded. I also want to state that if I've posted any comments to your videos that made you uncomfortable, I definitely apologize, as I meant them entirely in jest. Anyway. I firmly believe in second chances. While I do not wish to invalidate anyone else or their voices, I also would personally wish to hear your side of things, as an explanation if nothing else. Sometimes, retracing your steps will help you to realize your mistakes. I've rambled enough. Just know that I'm supportive of you, Jim, and hope you get the care and help you need for your healing. You've taken care of us plenty; let someone else do that for you.

I’d like to keep this short, and after a lot of thinking and reading over available information I just want to say that I’m not in the position to take a side, especially when a good amount of the people involved have asked us not to, and you and your work are admirable to me and have helped me a lot in my own life. All I can say is that I sincerely hope you get the help you need to prioritise your family and your well being and that those you’ve affected can get the help they need as well. I see you as a friend and trust that you’ll use this to better yourself instead of seeking comfort in negative behaviour.

Anonymous

For those who are not aware, I strongly suggest you search Twitter and learn about what's being said, by the people who are making the statements, before you decide how you feel or engage in discourse about the issue at hand. I’m not one for longwinded comments but for what it’s worth, Jim, I’m not going to pass judgement on your place in this situation. Nobody here knows how you feel or the ramifications this has on your life. Negative behaviour has its own consequences. You’re someone I’ve genuinely come to look up to and admire, creatively and personally, and I feel fortunate enough to be able to consider you a friend. The work you produce has had an immensely positive impact on my life. It’s upsetting that this positive impact has not extended to you the way that it should and that you have abused what privileges you have in a way that hurts so many. I hope that going forward, you and your family come to a place of growth and healing, and I hope that you find what you need, whatever that may be.

I really love your channel Jim, I love your fantasy roleplays, and in some of your videos, you are like a sibling or a good friend talking to us... Especially at this time, I needed that...so you helped me feel a lot less lonely. I am not saying that in any way I support "lies and deceit" , and I don't want to support someone who hurts other people...but I don't think you are that person or you want to be that person. I feel that you are taking responsibility for your actions (whatever those are), and that is the right thing to do.

I highly recommend everyone here to read @teafortwoASMR’s statement on Twitter. She details the abuse,manipulation,and deceit she went through at the hands of Jim. This also goes past the internet, but in real life. He’s done this to MANY women in the ASMR community.

Jim, whatever is going on ( I'm not on social media other than You Tube) I will continue to be your patron. Others may choose otherwise, but I admire your talent and creativity and it has had a positive impact on me, especially with this pandemic. Just wish you and your family all the best and sincerely hope you receive the help you seek. Even though I don't know you personally, I consider you a friend. So, you still have my patronage support as well as my compassion. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Yikes dude. I think considering the accusations being leveled against you by multiple women in this community, you have a duty to speak up and tell your audience what happened. You say you've lied, manipulated, and hurt people but you won't day exactly what you've done? That looks a lot like trying to control the messaging rather than being open and truthful and REPENTANT. I hope you do get some help and address your personal failings. Pause your channel and do some real soul searching or you'll just continue on the same path. I'm stopping my contributions to your Patreon and I hope you do better in the future.

Everyone lies from time to time and on the internet things can quickly get out of hand.

Jim, I read the Twitter claims and have seen the screenshots. I have also seen and felt the love and support you've given all of us. You've done fundraisers and you have promoted so many smaller channels to help them get a bigger following. I've been to a premiere where you gave all the money to the other artists. People are all about equality and love until someone makes a mistake. Too many people jumping on a cancel bandwagon to rip you apart, why? If someone isn't your wife or a person that had a direct role, how is it anyone's business. I'm reading these messages with many self righteous condemnations.Do that many people live in a glass house? Why are people pretending you were running for pope? Black pope maybe. I don't care about anything that had consent on both sides. Everyone knows you're married, so really what's their excuse to not take their share of the blame? I am your fan, Jim. I want nothing more than for you, your wife and the fur babies to grow stronger. I also don't want you to leave. You built this platform, you are amazing at what you do. Please never scrap all you've worked for. In time, there will be other drama for people to feel superior about. You don't owe anyone anything. Be like Dr. Disrespect. Grow from this and come back stronger and better than ever!

Jim owes no one any more of an explanation than he’s already admitted to. He’s trying to do better and letting people say their piece to mend the hurt. Most people would just close down and disappear. Let’s not forget that everyone is an adult with choices to make and Jim was up front about being married. Ultimately it is between Jim and his wife.

Hmmm....what can I say, Jim? Oh, yeah, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! I kind of figured some hanky panky was go on when things went quiet. Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned. You and all involved are adults and any extracurricular activities are none of my business if everyone is on the same page. The thing that disturbs me is the lying and manipulation. I have enjoyed your videos and some have provided me with comfort. It would be disappointing if you were just blowing smoke up our asses and playing us for fools. I no longer can trust that what you say is sincere. I hope this incident doesn’t destroy all that you have worked for. I pray you and your loved ones can get past this and you will be able to silence your demons. I won’t step away at this time as I think you deserve a chance.

Sorry to know about this, but I sincerely hope everyone involved get the help and support they need. After some serious thinking, I can no longer support this channel and be split about an artist’s works and his activities. I still want to thank Jm for creating quality contents which helped me go through a hard year. Good luck to everyone.

i had a feeling something was wrong. I hope that you get the support that you need to move forward and to make amends. If and when that happens, I will return as a viewer. You were the first ASMRtist I ever watched, and it is painful to walk away from this. I truly hope that you find growth and a profound learning through this.

Jim, so I never go on twitter or really any social media so I have no idea what all this is about nor do I want to as it is NONE of my business! Facts (for me anyway) you are a very gifted and talented performer. I work in the medical profession and is has been insane and heartbreaking this past year. Your videos provided comfort, encouragement and grand entertainment! Your videos helped me cope on nights that never seemed to end. Jesus himself said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." May you and your family come together, heal and please don't stop making videos!

I've made up my mind and finally made a desicon I wish I wouldn't have to make. But even if I leave aside all the other things in which I'm not involved the least and therefore hardly have a right to judge or condemn anyone, I still know the way you spoke about your subs and patrons. Reading those screenshots hurt because I thought you really cared for the people supporting you and now I wonder if you ever truly did. I loved your videos, your brilliant content helped and inspired me a lot and I do not feel anger or scorn, just sadness and disappointment. I also do sincerely hope you'll get the help you need and that- if you really mean it when you say you want to break free from this darkness of yours- you will be given the chance to make a new start for everyone deserves a second chance. I feel guilty and bad for withdrawing my pledge since I am a loyal and forgiving person who does not easily abandon people. But my conscience leaves me no other choice. Hoping you and your wife will recover and heal and that you will overcome your struggles to live a life free from your inner demons.

Well.....I guess crap just got real....you know, when you put people on pedestals, the shock that hits you will hurt when you find out they are just as human as the rest of us, so I did the reading and the searching because I want to make an informed decision as to what has transpired and to what I want to do about this, I've come the conclusion that I'm going to do nothing in the way of changing the way I watch his content because that's what I was here for, I don't condone anything that happened but I do know everyone has to do a bit of soul searching as to what part they played in this scenario and what led to this fiasco, there will be no judgement because I know about human nature and about the calls of the heart and what it can lead to in the way of self destruction, besides, the road to hell is paved with good intentions so they say and all the rest of us can do is pray that they all get the help they need to keep going because we live in dark times and we need everyone of you to be the light that shines through it all k? Sending you all good vibes and strength, stay frosty out there! <3

I have always adhered to the principle of aspiring to differentiate between the artist and their art. You are a very talented one, and I sincerely admire your creativity, your ingenuity and the effort you put into your work. However, ASMR is all about being able to keep up the illusion of trust into a (complete) stranger and their (presumed or artistic) personality. This is, unfortunately, a fragile thing in itself, and your content specifically required this in a very peculiar manner. Granted, I do not know similar semi-personal details about other artists I follow online, but in this case, my willing suspense of disbelief has been severely damaged. It would be a hard task for me to persistently counteract my gut instincts. I have thus come to the conclusion that, at least for the time being, I will not be able to enjoy your content the way I used to do, and therefore withdraw my pledge. I wish you all the best and the accomplishment of whatever changes you seek.

I'm sorry but I'm shocked. What I've read about you. You really made a great content and I don't want to judge you because at the end we are all making mistakes but I can't handle the demon in you. I'm with Jesus and want to stay there. I hope you get the help you need. Blessings for you and your wife.

While I do not condone what you've done Jim, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and continue to support you. After all, at the end of the day you're human and humans make mistakes. The fact that you're willing to own up to it and take responsibility and not make excuses gives me hope that you'll be a better person for it. I've seen this happen to some of my favorite youtubers, especially those who gain popularity quite quickly like you have. That popularity and notoriety can get to a persons head and ego, and the start acting and behaving differently, often negatively, along of course with what stressors or issues in their private life as well. I hope you become humbled by this experience and learn and grow from it. You're an amazing and creative soul and you are going to come out of this a stronger and better person for it. Take time to learn and heal Jim, accept the consequences of your actions and grow into a better person.

Thank you for your work in the medical field! And I agree completely with what you so eloquently stated. We need Jim's amazing and entertaining videos as well as the positive affirmation ones, because sometimes we need to hear it. The 2 best things that happened for me last year is adopting my cat, Delilah, and finding Jim's channel. I never knew about the ASMR world until then (And it was the Kylo Ren rp). Again, thank you for doing your job! You're a hero, just as all the frontline workers are. Take care💖

I am trying to not dig into your personal life, Jim, to know what is going on (plus I don't utilize social media to really do so), but what I am gathering from the responses is really disappointing if true. Again, we all make mistakes and I am highly critical of the witch-hunts and cancel culture that take place on social media platforms. This is a private matter that should have been dealt with privately, but you are a public figure and, unfortunately, it was dealt with publicly. Though it really is no one's business and is between you and the involved parties, I would encourage you to publicly acknowledge that you messed up and apologize to those whom you've hurt, take the inevitable vitriol and move past it. You shouldn't have to do this publicly, but as a creator whose dirty laundry is being aired on public forums: if you wish to move past it, you need to address it now, I'm afraid. Otherwise, all you've worked for is going to be lost. I was never under the impression you are a saint - I've watched your videos. But I hope you are as sincere as you come across and do the right thing by those you have apparently wronged. That's the last I'll say on it.

I've enjoyed and supported this channel because of the creativity, support of queer community, good helping of Marxist critique and focus on feminist themes of consent and communication. That illusion is very much shattered. I look forward to supporting TeaforTwoASMR and other artists I've found in the rabbit hole of figuring out what you were referring to since you kept it nice a vague. Off to find other artists to support!

Anonymous

I did my research and as a human being and victim of emotional and sexual abuse I am horrified. Yes, I'd agree that most private things should stay private, but in this case it also creates a space for victims to speak up, which, I think, is important for everyone, including Jim, to move forward, to acknowledge the consequences of one's actions and to deal with all the problems involved. I'm glad to hear, that you seek professional help, Jim, you deserve it. Obviously, you do have problems, which does not make you a bad person. I'm glad, that you try to address these problems and try to do better. I hope that you and everyone involved will heal, eventually. As to me, I'm not sure yet, if I will continue supporting you. You're a great artist and your videos helped me through some of the shit you presumably have done to others. It's weird thinking about it that way... I will have to see what I will do with the new information. ASMR videos require a level of trust for me to have the desired effect and trust is a fragile thing. I wish you strength for the upcoming journey of healing and I hope that you'll deal appropriately with your issues!

Can someone explain what happened without being vague or can someone provide actual links instead of 'search twitter'. Because I have done that and all I can see is some vagueposting. You cannot expect someone to make an informed decision off what is located on twitter.

I agree in private things staying private, but I am withdrawing my pledge because of your abuse of this platform and disdain for your fans. For those who don’t know, screen shots have been shared of Jim being homophobic and transphobic, stating the NB people don’t exist (despite using drag for views) and mocking his supporters. Evidence has also been shared that Jim used his platform to target women, sexually harass them, and even send explicit pictures. This goes beyond a private failing into full blown abuse of his popularity and fan base, and I can’t excuse that.

Anonymous

I'm not gonna dig into social media or anything...I just saw some tweets from some of my favorite content creators and they have been bad enough...and I am still emotionally processing all this. I just wish Jim would say something in his own defense. I can't help but feel a little bad for him at this moment. I've had manipulative people in my life, it's a devastating experience, but I kind of understand that sometimes they can't help it, and of course, they need to get help. but what I wish for everyone is to take care of themselves and don't blame themselves for having a heart.

I've never believed in cancel culture - where everyone jumps into the narrative after one person shares their story. I'm not invalidating their experiences, but I am not going to make any judgements without hearing both sides of the story (in all honesty, I don't think your personal life is any of my business). I enjoy your content, and I hope everyone involved will be able to heal and move on. Take your time and your fans will be waiting when you are ready.

I’m posting this because a lot of people are wondering what was said by Jim regarding his patrons. I want to paraphrase what was said to alleviate the spread of misinformation for the good of Jim’s private life and those who spoke out. Any words in quotes are taken directly from the messages themselves. The information was posted on a server made by TeaforTwo. It was three screenshots of messages between Jim and Tea in which he referenced how he felt he was “objectified” by his patrons; what he referred to as “chaos” in the discord server; his patrons’ extreme enthusiasm for his work; and how he kept his private life separate from his public persona because he found some behaviour from patrons “shockingly aggressive”. My personal opinion as a patron and longtime viewer is that I don’t feel he was off the mark or out of line with the statements he made in this regard. To be clear, he's perfectly entitled to private feelings about people's behaviour and that does not diminish his gratitude towards his patrons or fanbase. I strongly suggest people go through the necessary motions of researching this for themselves rather than relying on secondhand information. It is not difficult to find. The information I have shared here is as unbiased and factual as I can manage, but it is deeply necessary to do your own research and form your own opinions on the issues at hand. The discord server where I found this information is a difficult read and I would advise people to enter it with caution and above all, respect. Edit: Some other, more severe terms were used in other instances, and he stated to multiple people he found some of his patrons aggressive, but I have not seen screenshots of those instances.

I see little value in circle-jerking with others on this topic, but I need to talk about what I'm feeling now. So if there is any genuine humanity in you, I think I should tell you, explain to you the full impact of what you've allegedly done. Although I have no direct involvement in these events, this news hits very close to home for me. I am a victim of the very sort of abuse that you're being accused of. The things I've read in the last 24 hours have unironically triggered me. It curdles my blood to think that someone I have looked to for comfort and a feeling of security may have been a predator. To put it into perspective for people who don't get it, imagine finding out that Mr. Rogers (or your nearest equivalent) was a pedophile who abused dozens of kids. Imagine what that might feel like for someone who experienced similar abuse. No, I'm not trying to equate those actions, but that is my gut reaction. My own abuse is not recent. In fact, it occurred more than 10 years ago. Yesterday, it felt like a week ago. No matter how much time passes or how many times I think I've moved on, the trauma of what I experienced can surface again at any time. I can't even call myself a survivor because the truth is that I didn't survive. My body may have endured, but the person living in it disappeared. I have not been able to form a deep connection with anyone since. I have contemplated suicide several times over the years because sometimes the pain is too much. Probably no one, in this case, will turn out as damaged as I have. It sounds like they have a support network of people who understand what they're going through. I didn't have that. I share my experience to illustrate that things like this should not be taken lightly. They do have very real and lasting consequences for the victim. If any of the allegations against you turn out to be false or grossly exaggerated, I will gladly eat my words and offer my sincerest apologies. For now, I have to error on the side of your accusers. My history will not allow me to look the other way on this.

See that is why I want to know what was said before I make a decision. The context you put in does not sound like he is bashing. Yet someone else made reference to something a little darker. I don't know what to believe anymore to be quite honest

Thank you, finally an answer not blown out of proportion, I stand by my decision and do hope everyone ends up okay, he is entitled to his opinion like we all are and I respect that, the other stuff is between him and his wife, I respect that too, I hope him and everyone involved finds peace

I feel that I have expressed my opinion about things that are none of my business and the last thing that I want to do is to inflict more pain on Jim. I am sorry that your personal matters have gone public like this, and I am sorry that some people are just saying things to hurt you. I really hope that you will be OK. I will not leave another comment on this post.

I dont know what to say....the thing that hurts the most (to me) is what you really thought of your subscribers and patrons. The utter disdain. You called us "spooky" "shockingly aggressive" "chaotic and crass" and lets not forget "classless and sycophantic". Other than that, I can neither absolve or condemn you as it was not me you hurt. I wish you and the people you have harmed, peace and healing. I also believe people make mistakes, and people can change, so Im gonna stay for now. Not that you will ever know what I think or will you care. I'm just another nameless, faceless patron/subscriber who wishes you well. It is what it is and I'm a Scorpio so we tend to be very loyal, sometimes to our detriment. So Imma stay.

Have you read some of the comments on his Dracula videos? I am not excusing his behavior, nor condoning it. Only saying that there are some very zealous fans. I believe for a while he avoided doing "Boyfriend" roleplays so as not to incur that type of fanbase.

This is just pure, how texting with someone in that way is abusive? No one was being dragged, they could blocked him.

Aight…imma head out. In all seriousness though. I’m not leaving because of how you view me, a nameless, faceless consumer of content on capital-driven platforms. I have been working through my own “whys” for engaging with that content privately from the very beginning with people in my personal life. I’m leaving because of how you treated others in your creative community and close-knit parts of your fan base. Only you and those involved will know the full extent of what that means. But I know enough now to make my decision. I admit, we (meaning people who don’t know you personally) should not have seen as many private details as we have, particularly what was spoken in the context of a specific type of intimate play. But, fact of the matter is, we’ve seen them. I do want to express support for and gratitude to those who have been brave enough to come forward and talk openly about their experiences. It does seem like discernment was used in what has been shared, just enough to get a very important conversation started. I also don’t want to pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong in this situation. I propped you up and complimented you. I wrote comments that, as someone who does not know you, may not have been welcomed or helpful and certainly contributed to the overall mystique around you as a content creator. And that mystique contributed to a broader situation where people were hurt. You, Jim, yourself included. And for that I’m sorry. I am making the choice not to stay for what comes next. I will miss your content and, even though the intent behind it was not as I imagined, it still managed to do a world of good for me personally. Right place, right time. But now that time is over. Goodbye Jim.

As someone who joined patron just to figure out what's going on.. I'm going to say I'm still lost. I've read threw some of the messages on here just trying to figure out what happened. I only knew something was up when I noticed today that the comments were off on YouTube. Obviously I'm quite late to the party and later still as I find discord to be quite chaotic and challenging on a good day. Any attempts to find this tea for two person has come up with private accounts and this seems to be a rather quiet affair unless someone has some sort of in with this drama. Obviously my words most likely will mean very little since I've seen nothing of this.. I'd still like to say that it takes courage to realize you have issues like the rest of us and decide that you need help. Thank you for taking a step back to analyze your deeds whatever they may have been and move forward in a hopefully better state. There will always be people here willing to support you not only working on your self care but working on personal matters as well. Wishing you all the best.

Just hope none of my comments were too much. I am guilty of being overly enthusiastic at times, gushing on about how talented and creative and, basically, what a genius Jim is. Making his own costumes etc.

Hi Jim, I have been away and only found out last night. I sat up for a couple of hours reading comments and to be frank, being very confused by the Discord server.  I am a person that works with famous people. My ex husband is a film actor and my background is in the music industry. I say this because your behaviour is very familiar to me. I work with Clients that have done very similar things to you.  There is no person on the earth that would not have thrilled to read so many adoring comments as you received daily. It became apparent quickly that these comments could annoy you at times or even gross you out a little. People didn't seem to notice your discomfort  or mind and it continued. Now, this is where me working with lots of famous people comes in. I do not know of any person who gets constant flattering emails or texts that does not at some point give in to them. What I am going to say is not to tell you that your behaviour is ok. I am trying to say that you are not the only person that has ever done these things before, or been caught.  You are certainly not the first person to write about your frustrations with fans or even to voice being angry with them. You are not the first person that has betrayed the trust of a wife or partner or lied to people you love and trust.    You are not God. You have been churning out reams of high quality work at high pace for months now. There is no way you could have kept up the pace without something going wrong. I have been watching closely for the past couple of months wondering if and when it was all going to go to shit. Hit rock bottom and learn from it. You don't owe anyone that is not involved an explanation.  Just so everyone reading this doesn't misconstrue what I am saying, I'm not standing here giving Jim a solo standing ovation. I am saying, I see you. You are not perfect. You fucked up - learn from it, learn your limits.  Your gift, Jim, is that you make your viewers feel that they have a real and genuine connection with you that is personal and intimate at times. Some people are reacting as if you have personally hurt them word by word and action by action. That is their choice and you cannot make it better for them. You need to give yourself and your fans time and space. One day at a time.  You don't have to know me or even like me, I don't need your validation, Jim.  I do care about your talent and your art. That is why I am a patron and that is why I am staying put.

Jim , so now I know.... and it’s bad, but I’m over the shock, I am done crying and I’m over the anger. I feel you have been knocked down enough, and that some Very personal information was unnecessarily shared to prove a case. I don’t know if you really cared about me or your other Discord members, but I want you to know that we sincerely did care about you. My hope is that you are finding the help you need so you can get your life back on track, and mend things with your wife, if that is what you want. I have wrestled with what I need to do, and have decided, I’m staying.

Anonymous

Yeah, no I’m done. My husband cheated on me fairly recently, and after the fact I found out he’d had several affairs over text before that, so all this just hits too close to home. I actually watched these videos for comfort after all that. Now I just feel gross. Just another man who lies and hides things, and only feels badly about it when he’s caught. My husband’s an addict. Sounds like you might be too. I hope you mend your relationships, truly. But I’ve had just about all I can handle as far as this kind of thing goes. And to be taken for granted as a fan really does add insult to injury. That too is all too familiar. I’ll miss your clever content. You really are talented. Take care.

Okay, so I finally found some screenshots from this TeaforTwo chick and TBH, this sounds like petty revenge because he decided to stop their relationship. As a woman, I don't see how she was a victim. She knowingly got into a relationship with a man who was married. No one made her. This looks like something that should have been handled behind closed doors, but since she didn't get her way, she decided to destory him. Since I have read that, I am definately staying, because this is bogus. And, unlike everyone else, I am including an actual link to the screencaps so that everyone can understand what I am seeing. https://www.reddit.com/r/JimChi_ASMR/comments/l6g617/all_the_screenshots_that_were_shared_on_teas/

I truly hope you and your wife find healing throughout all of this I’m not posting anything or picking sides but let me just say this if that’s how you really felt about some of the people in your YouTube following discord and on here why not address that I’m sure people would understand if you just told them and the people that can’t should just leave I for one never wanted to make you feel uncomfortable I hope you learn from this Jim and get the help you need I truly wish you all the best

I joined Patreon today to see what's going on as I noticed comments had been turned off on youtube and reddit and twitter deleted. I had been busy with other things and hadn't been watching as often as I had in the past, and I have always really enjoyed Jim's work. Jim had mentioned in an interview that sometimes the zealous nature in which Jim's fans expressed their adoration made him somewhat uncomfortable. I wasn't totally surprised to read him complaining about that a bit, but what is most disquieting is the fact that there is really nothing exceptional, unique or deep about "mummy" Teafor2. I mean if you're going to disparage your fans to someone and get involved with someone couldn't it be someone that was something more than a dime a dozen, bimbo who was planning to destroy you the entire time if you didn't do it yourself for her? It doesn't much seem she wanted to you to leave your wife and fans and have a real relationship with her, she just wanted you to hurt your wife and fans publicly to build up her ego and then she could walk away, or not, the choice would be her's. If you want to be used and degraded in the future Jim, please choose someone more impressive to f*ck you over and expose you than the likes of this pathetic creature. Thank you.

This comment is completely inappropriate on so many levels. Name calling and blatantly insulting victims does nothing of benefit. The facts that we have are that a group of women came forward, all sharing their experiences with what happened, and he recognized that he made mistakes and hurt people in the process which is why he stepped back. No one ever "exposes" someone who hurt them for clout or ego, Tea had to lock her twitter account because she was receiving threats over the situation. The only way she benefitted from this was by helping stop the inappropriate actions happening behind the scenes so she and the other victims can move on and heal.

Well, what can I say. I actual left a few days ago, feeling conflicted. I was torn between my principles and wanting to keep supporting your work. Well what’s happened has happened, you move forward, you learn and you change for the better. And, hey, I’ve gone back to watching your stuff, and what has happened will not change what you have created - or my ability to feel comfortable watching your videos . I’m sorry that you felt overwhelmed and although it can not be changed now, be honest with people, if you need time away - do it. Well, I’m back. Because why? I'm staying for the very reason I joined - to support your work.

I would just like to update on my stance after seeing the screenshots and discord chat. There were lying, cheating, ghosting, back-stabbing on Jim’s end. But I’ve also witnessed pettiness, immaturity, disregard of privacy, and facilitative actions (let’s not forget Tea was the one who started to bad-mouth patrons). It looks like a toxic and messy affair between toxic and messy people that got...toxic and messy. But I am not remotely involved in that mess. Without witnessing anything illegal (such as sexual coercion or abuse), I do not feel like I am in a position to judge. Side note: there have been accusations of abuse, but I have not found any myself. Some people called his supporters bystanders, but we don’t have an obligation to share your moral values. 16-year old means girls back-stab everyday. Frat boys send and solicit explicit images all the time. So many celebrities (whom I bet many of you support) are horrible to their fans. It is a sh*tty world. Is he a cheater? Possibly. But I am not in a relationship with him. Did he disrespect some fans? Yes, but I am not looking for his approval. Does he create good ASMR content for entertainment? Yes. That was why I subscribed in the first place. I accept not everyone is able to be as detached, and I acknowledge that this might hit too close to home for some, hence why I’m not trying to convince anyone to stay. But I do encourage people to be more critical about this situation before jumping on a bandwagon. I heard someone say they will go and support the creators who exposed him...seriously? Are they faultless? Is anyone?

Mx. Chi, I'm pretty confident these messages aren't meant to be read, so forgive me for taking some liberties. I'd like to think you'd be proud of us, the few remaining true Palace supporters. I like to think you'd be proud how we recreated the original palace and use it as a place of support for those of us that gained real friendships by bonding over your vids. You aren't a lost cause, boss. You're just human. I mean look at what happened with the Capitol building in Washington DC! Humans do really stupid things and face the consequences. Thing is you're not a killer. You didn't cause a terrorist type of attack. You weren't involved in human trafficking. No. You did something that many in this world have done. Does it make it right, no, but the punishment should fit the "crime". We few haven't forgotten you, nor did we ever abandon you. Your vids and words of encouragement have made such a positive impact in our lives. You're not a complete liar, again you are human. I know, with my own experiences, that you do keep your promises and you do small acts of kindness that nobody, but the receiver, knows about. The people that hates us for supporting you, call us a "cult". I'm sorry that they never reached that level with their fans, but you have. They don't understand that they have taken a joke out of context. But that doesn't mater, what does is that we are here supporting you and eagerly waiting for the day you might come back. I hope you, your wife, Casca and Guts are healing together. We miss you so much

It's been a week! I'd like to start a positive and uplifting thread under this comment for Jim to read when he returns to his Palace! Let's share some of our favorite Jimち memories!

A year ago I was sitting on my bed by myself just watching youtube on my tv, and a video called “Your Personal Knight ASMR” popped up in my recommended videos. I remember wondering what the ASMR part meant, so I clicked on it. About one minute in and I was mesmerized. I went to his channel and subscribed. Shortly after that I became a patron. Because of Jim, i learned about ASMR and I found Tinglesmith, Atlas, Nebula, whisperwind and so many other great channels. 2020 was a bad year, and I can’t even count how many times I’ve turned to Jim’s videos for comfort, for entertainment, to relax, and to help me sleep. I feel like something special has been violently torn away, and I’m sad. Jim’s channel, and Jim, became an important part of my life in 2020, and I want that part back. I hope he knows that there are people still here who stand by him and want him to come back. We miss you Jim.

In all honesty, the comments on this post have lost the plot completely. The blind support without any courtesy or respect to the people he hurt, the people he admitted that he hurt, is mind blowing to me. A lot of you were upset that he said he didn't like the behavior of a lot of his patrons and subscribers, but this is in line with exactly what he said he disliked. The cult mentality here lends just as much to the detriment of his recovery as anything else, and he won't be able to come back as a better person from this if the behavior that got him into trouble in the first place is continuously enabled. Please understand that you can hold him accountable for the actions he's admitted to and also want to see him come back better from this. Those are not mutually exclusive and accountability is a key part of recovery of all kinds. If you truly care about Jim and him "bouncing back" from this then you'll allow him to be absent from the internet as long as he needs to be, for the sake of his own mental health and personal life with his wife.

I am baffled by some of the comments being left on here. I’m going to blunt with all of you: if you care about Jim as much as you claim you all do, you need to support him taking as much time away from videos as he needs to in order to heal his relationship with his wife, and most importantly, heal himself. I’m not going to bring up the people who came forward about him because I get the sense that none of you care. So what I am going to say is that you SHOULD care what happened, for his sake. Jim cares enough to take responsibility for it and take leave from a highly profitable project so that he can do what he needs to do to heal. Anything that is not specifically supporting that process borders on enablement. I will not comment on Jim’s private life but I am going to say that he deserves better than blind admiration and he deserves better than to have his behaviour enabled. Encouraging him is fine, but encourage him to do what is best for him- not for you, as the audience of a content creator whom you do not know, but for him as a person. Let me make something very clear: I’m honestly not angry with Jim about what’s happened. On the contrary I think I understand it- it's all very familiar to me, on both sides of the issue. So as his viewer and someone he has personally called a friend I understand it enough to hold him accountable. This comment is not for him. This comment is for the rest of you.

Well...I'm sorry if I baffle you but no, I will not stop my patreon nor stop sending him and his wife healing vibes, I wish them the best and do hope that they heal and get through this but what exactly does this "accountability" entail? Bashing him on social media? Calling him out when it's clearly none of my business to do so? Kick him when he's down? Sounds like you want him to suffer and believe you me, he is suffering, so my adding to it I will not do him any good, enabling....you make him sound like an addict and of what I do not know nor wish to, as for blind admiration, I'm not stupid, I see it all and everyday see more, if you want atonement, shoot him a message if you are his friend, until the day comes when he shuts himself off of social media or closes his patreon then I will step back but until then please don't tell me what to do and please don't tell me what to feel, as for his "victims" I send healing vibes to them too, may they all learn what they can from all this and find peace

You're not alone in that regard. Whatever went on in his personal life is his business, and the one who brought it out should not have. What bothers me , if it is true, is what I've seen via screenshots about what he thinks/feels about his subscribers and Patrons. Hopefully it's not true, because without us, well I don't need to actually say it. You all know the next part. I'm still going to support Jim anyway.

Eliza, I'm assuming you meant to respond to my comment. I'm not going to engage in an argument about this on Jim's patreon, for Jim's sake and because I don't need to argue the points I've made. I'm not sure where you thought I was asking for him to be bashed or for him to “atone”. He does not deserve a lot of what’s gone on this week by a long shot. He also deserves to be able to be treated like a person and not a source of entertainment. As much as I understand the calls for him to come back after a week, he should be allowed to take as much time as he needs without feeling pressure from his fan base, even the ones who are supporting him, to perform. He has taken responsibility for his part in what happened: allowing him to do that is accountability. Ergo, I am holding him accountable because he has chosen to do that for himself. (Sorry if this comes up twice, Patreon has an enthusiastic spam filter.)
