For the benefit of readers who haven’t experienced manipulative people before, let me explain the trickery behind Margaret’s recent comments on Instagram.
“Isn't it fascinating how a stalker changed everything within such a short time? It took him only 2 months to destroy 2 lives and 6 years of work.“
Margaret is blaming Venus’ boyfriend Manaki here for Venus losing her Youtube channel. In fact, the only reason it’s down is that Margaret sent copyright takedown notices. This is a manipulator tactic of shifting the blame. It lets her avoid responsibility for her own actions, while discrediting her target.
Margaret calls Venus’ boyfriend Manaki “stalker” to discredit him and undermine their relationship. But Venus doesn’t call him a stalker. Margaret’s only “evidence” is that he followed her Youtube channel for years, but so did a million other subscribers, and Margaret had no problem when they were earning money.
“She made me a name of an abuser. Do you understand that? Beside stealing etc. That's not a light thing.“
Many people have called Margaret abusive, based only on the things Margaret herself has said, done, or admitted to doing. By blaming Venus she is shifting the blame again.
Maybe Venus has some of Margaret’s belongings, but the correct way to handle that is to arrange for their return, not use it as an excuse to exact revenge.
“she hijacked my account and Google didn't like it”
This was in response to a question “What happened to Venus’ channel?”
Her answer is a direct lie. You can go to the Venus Angelic Youtube channel yourself and see that the channel was taken down for copyright strikes, and if you try to view the old videos you can see that all those strikes were set by Margaret Palermo.
She’s also using another manipulator tactic here: being vague to disguise the facts. The “hijack” she refers to is when Venus transferred her own account, VenusAngelic, to another email address. Margaret is trying to claim that she owned the VenusAngelic account, but nobody would believe her if she said this out loud.
It’s completely false that Google closed the Youtube account because it was transferred to another Google Account. 100% of the reason it’s down is that Margaret filed copyright strikes.
“We have time maybe until Sunday. The channel is backed up on Manaki's email address. Joint channel was hijacked. Manaki forbid her contact. So please Venus get yourself together and sit down with me and adult stable friends, who can help you and want your best.”
Margaret now claims that she jointly owns the Venus Angelic Youtube channel. However, she clearly cares nothing for it if she would destroy it rather than let Venus keep it. (The Bible has a similar story; Google for “1 Kings 3:16-28″.)
This also contradicts what she said before, calling it “my account”. She changes to “joint account” because, when pressed for details, she has to admit that it’s Venus’ channel. She also now drops the claim that Venus hijacked her own account, and tries to frame it that it’s Manaki’s doing. Her story keeps changing.
The “adult stable friends” mentioned are Margaret’s friends, who will naturally side with her. They have only had contact with Margaret and not Venus, and only know Margaret’s side of the story.
“haha, she and Mana searched my luggage for values, then she turned up to ask for forgotten codes then run away from security”
As we know, Venus lost access to all her accounts except Youtube and Instagram. Margaret says Venus just forgot. There are several reasons why that’s clearly a lie.
Venus started new channels, so we know Margaret never gave Venus the passwords to her accounts when she asked. The only explanation is that Margaret does not want Venus to have access to those accounts. She’s intentionally locking Venus out.
Margaret also claims things like she owns Venus’ Youtube account. It’s likely that Margaret still controls the other accounts like email. We know she had access to them, so it’s very unlikely that Margaret just forgot the password. Again, she must know the password and be refusing to tell Venus.
“You don't have all info so you guys will never catch it“
Margaret is saying nobody has all the facts except her, to explain why everyone but her is coming to the conclusion that she’s in the wrong.
However, if facts would exonerate her, why isn’t she telling anyone them? She’s already happily shared embarassing stories about her daughter’s childhood, embarassing photos, detailed criticism and so on.
The verifiable fact is that Margaret intentionally destroyed her daughter’s million subscriber Youtube channel, knowing exactly how much emotional and financial hardship that would cause, then blamed other people. If anything could have justified these actions, she would have told us by now.
“she does this to herself“
Blaming the victim is the sign of an abuser.
