wanna talk about billy the fridge for a hot moment.
if you don’t know, billy the fridge is a smaller youtuber, but he was known to be friends with onion. but what got him in hot water was a few days ago, he did an “interview” with onion which was really just a childish playtime half of it making fun of victims.
rationally, most of us were pretty pissed. especially the victims.
two days ago, yeah idk why i’m just finding it now, though, billy did a SIX hour livestream explaining his side of the story. he talked to sara for more than an hour. he explained himself, but at the same time, didn’t use his explanations as an excuse, which i find cool of him.
billy himself was put in some really awkward situations that he himself felt uncomfortable.
he wasn’t really friends with greg though after hearing everything about him. the last time he hung out with greg was last august, which of course, right before the investigation started.
his rational was that he would let onion talk just to catch his real character to use to show.
on this other hand, billy did admit he didn’t even really want to interview onion. he was inspired by his viewers giving him money and asking him, which is mega shitty, but at least he owned it and admitted it
many people also asked if billy would donate the money he made to the victims. he flat out said no. a part of me understands. and another part of me thinks that is awful
billy said he would’ve spread the word if he knew the truth about sara. but understandably, he saw the video of sara originally saying nothing was going on, and as a friend of onion, he rationalized that’s it was okay.
but he once again admitted that this was wrong of him and he wished he could redo it.
was billy doing the interview and uploading it good? for the most part, no.
but we did get some unscripted behavior of onion, where he acted his same old creepy ass self. which does help the case and can be used in the future. he touched billy in ways that made him uncomfortable on camera. this could literally be evidence.
but for the most part, yes, the interview was extremely shitty of him to do. but i do think it is admirable that he admits himself being wrong, opens himself to criticism, explains himself without turning it into excuses, and confronts the people he hurt and apologized.
it just shows that even the few people close to onion are starting to turn away. and that says a lot.
in the end, the victims had forgiven him and had just hoped he learned his lesson
