no, i don't hate sam. i do, however, hate the way this fandom coddles him like he's a baby. calling out his flaws or when he fucks up doesn't mean that a, it's hate or b, that he's a terrible person. nothing is that black and white.
i've gone over before my theories and opinions on sam and his past relationships, both with kat and katelyn, but i'll explain it again.
also i do a lot ranting/explaining my overall feelings on this whole drama so this isn't really directed at you, anon. just in general what i've been thinking.
sam has talked about some of this before. but the fact of the matter is, he is terrified to grow old or to be alone. that man has had a gf everyday of his life since eighth grade. that is something he said verbatim in a livestream last year. and fucking hilariously during this livestream too, that was in november of 2024, he said he didn't plan on having a gf for a while bc he needed to heal and work on himself.
cut to him in march-ish 2025, not even a full four months later, he started dating sofie.
but back to what i was saying, it's obvious that he doesn't like being alone. which is why he moved on from kat in six months to katelyn, broke up with katelyn in less than a year, moved onto sara like three months later and had a little fling with her, and then had MAYBE a four month period where he was "alone" and then started dating sofie. he claims he's trying to learn to be alone… but i don't think he is.
and as for the growing old thing, that's something he's talked about since before he even got with kat. he is terrified of losing his youth. and it's so obvious, from the countless times in vids with kat when he kept saying he wasn't gonna get married until he was like 40, that he viewed marriage as a death sentence to his youth. and even tho he felt that way and was obvious about it, he kept promising kat that they would eventually marry and do so in a timely-ish fashion.
on top of all of this, he's also an extreme workaholic who seemingly puts it above and over anyone else. sam tweeted this out YEARS ago that when he was editing, and kat wanted to step INTO THE ROOM just to hang out with him, he would say "vampire" aka like a vampire you can't come in unless you're invited. and kat mentioned too that there were times he wouldn't even tell her when he was going on trip, and the only way she found out was if she looked at his google calendar. also he didn't even give her keys to the second trap house, even tho she was basically living there.
and look, none of this is to say that he's a terrible fucking boyfriend. i'm sure there were plenty of times in his relationship with kat that he was amazing. i doubt she would have stayed with him if every time was like this ^^^.
and with katelyn, no one really knows what went on there. i personally think he did wrong by never admitting to dating her, even tho they were together for almost a year. and for never telling the fandom to calm down and stop being fucking mean to her all the time. like look, katelyn is/was no saint. she did questionable things at times and i can get why some didn't like her but even then NO ONE deserves the hate she got. the amount of times fans made up shit, ironically a lot of the times said fans were kat's own, about katelyn was basically weekly. the fandom at large hated on her bc in reality… a lot of their anger was misplaced onto her instead of sam. bc that's who they were really upset with; the man that had this ideal relationship that was well loved by the fandom, only to squander it bc of vague reasons even after promising for years to marry her. and then he moved on in six months, and instead of directing that shock and anger onto him, bc again - he can never do ANY wrong in this fandom's eyes, katelyn got the shit end of the stick. even tho all she did was date him.
and then when she went a little nutty by posting a pic of him and her together after being broken up with (by my guestimate) for a month bc he was already SEEN OUT ON A DATE with some random girl he knew when he was DATING KATELYN.... then when he commented on said pic of katelyn and him and said "idk why she posted this we broke up a WHILE ago" even tho… again… it was maybe a month at most, he then had the audacity to like posts on insta where fans were calling her heinous things which only emboldened fans on twitter to hate on her more bc that was essentially their day job atp the past year. and they saw this as "oh sam is saying it's okay to hate her fully now bc she's fucking nuts and did him dirty and only used him for clout"……………..
so personally, if i was kat or katelyn, the LEAST i'm doing is a silly little song and mv and tiktok. sorry lol
but again, this isn't me hating on sam. i don't think he's a terrible person by any stretch of the imagination. i do think, however, he can on occasion be a shitty bf. and if his exes want to call that out… then they should. the world will keep turning, sam will continue to be more famous than them, this won't scar his reputation bc reality is no one fucking cares that much about him or any of this to actually let it effect the way they view him.
i find all of this funny bc of this reason alone. and the real truth of the matter is if sam wasn't famous or well liked, everyone would eat this drama up like they do any other celeb gossip. everyone loved when taylor swift was pulling old songs out from when she was 18 shitting on john mayer or jake gyllenhaal but none of that mattered bc ppl didn't like those guys in the first place. but now with kat, since this is someone fans like… no one is allowed to call sam out?? it don't make sense to me.
Was that Kat on Sam’s post? If it was why tf did he post it?? this is NOT what the fans wanna see
(this is about sam's post of 2026 being the new 2016)
it did look like her and i had to do a double take lol but i'm not sure. that might have just been a fan??? i wasn't around at the time when that pic would have been taken so.... idk.
that being said, if it is from 2016, he didn't post her until 2017 so i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not her.
