Why Is It So Hard to Trust Female Friends? | Jackie Aina Influencer Drama

I have a husband before you did. I got married before you did. Children, you don't have them. Okay, there you go. When I tell you I have been waiting for this, I have been waiting for this. Buckle up, buttercup, grab you a drink, grab you a snack, because this is going to be a long one. They go with Jackie because she has a bigger platform and she wears designer. That's the litmus test. Imagine crashing out on live for 14 hours straight because your former friend, who happens to be a famous beauty influencer, finally exposed why she had to cut you off years ago without ever mentioning your name. Jackie Aina, the woman that you are, she recently shared a story time about a former influencer friend who she claims publicly humiliated her and tried to ruin her career. After listening to just some of the things this lady did to Jackie, it sounds like she was psychotic, envious, and wanted to destiny swap with Jackie because she wanted her life and was jealous so bad. Because what do you mean? This lady randomly called Jackie claiming her pastor said there was a curse on Jackie's bloodline and that she would never find love mind you Jackie is a happily married woman now and has been with Dennis for years with friends like her who needs enemies and then eventually she defended a controversial beauty influencer who had previously made racist remarks about Jackie geez i wonder who that was because apparently y'all that lady has been going live she went live for 14 hours she's been going live calling Jackie out of her name saying a whole bunch of crazy stuff you are truly Jackie Jackie you're truly going to leave me the **** alone after Jackie Aina shared why she ended a friendship with a fellow influencer Marlene Imoni responded with around 14 hours of live streams and the detail that makes this so awkward Jackie never even mentioned her name Jackie described a former friend who she said publicly humiliated her and tried to damage her career the woman allegedly called Jackie to say her pastor believed Jackie's bloodline was cursed and that she would never find love. Imagine hearing that from someone you considered a friend. Jackie has since married her longtime partner, Dennis. Jackie also said the former friend defended a beauty influencer who had made racist remarks about her. That became a major reason for ending the friendship. But Marlene's lengthy response has now attracted attention of its own. Across two live streams, one lasting over 11 hours and another over two, she repeatedly criticized Jackie. Viewers questioned why a story that named Nobody needed such a long response. Others criticized people in the live chat for encouraging her to keep going instead of suggesting she take a break. Spending around 14 hours discussing a person who never named you, that is a lot of attention to give someone you supposedly want to move on from. What do you think? I had a husband before you did, I got married before you did, children, you don't have them, okay? There you go. this has to be a joke guys this has to be a joke this has to be a joke like you're comparing having a husband and children as such a big achievement that you did before Jackie did it Jackie who has built a business from scratch I had a husband before you did sister sister sister i beg of you listen if it was me that jackie was talking about i wouldn't show face i will not show face i will not show face you know why because i'll be like if i had so much venom about this sister and she has done so well for herself like this i don't want people to associate me with any downfall of her i will just disappear into the quietness and continue living my life with my husband and children you think it's a it's a thing to tell your friend that i got married before you but when i look at you now you look more older than jackie you're probably the same age marriage and kids has aged you don't you think you should have waited maybe you will be looking shiny like jackie is looking and they have a husband before husband husband man man i rather take the money that Jackie did over a husband sorry **** them children being alive for 14 hours to drag somebody is actually quite obsessed and unwell behavior it is highly obsessed and unwell behavior here's the thing I'm not saying that Jackie Aina is perfect she's not she's human she has flaws there's been things that she has done where I've been like Jackie not Jackie but nothing she said in her video in my opinion warranted that lady going on a 14 hour rant mind you she stopped one of her the main live that was 11 hours and some change and then she restarted another live that was two hours and some change culminating in 14 hours of her ranting about Jackie seven years ago I had a friend and another influencer who publicly humiliated me and actually tried to ruin my career completely unprovoked. And I think I'm finally ready to talk about it. There's a lot of stuff that people believe about me simply because I've never actually bothered to come out and respond or deny it. But I think there's something to be said about getting your power back by not talking about stuff impulsively and by not responding to stuff impulsively. The internet is so big and people do it so much that I would spend half of my content defending myself from stuff that I personally don't think I have to. And I'm also sharing this story in present day because I saw a podcast clip that really moved me it was a clip of Eva Marcille being asked what has been the one thing you've sacrificed since building success she said loneliness and I immediately knew what she was talking about it's not that I think it's lonely at the top it can be but I've noticed that the cost of me having built something that has come at the cost of losing relationships I never thought I would have to lose but why I want to share this story is that you all know I don't play about my girlfriends. I don't play about women friendships. But the amount of times I've severely been betrayed by people, I could be telling you a very different story. Even though I've had some horrible experiences with women and people in general, I've still refused to allow it to stop me from building connections and continuing to open myself up to other friendships. I've still somehow refused to allow it to make me resentful or bitter. You can't have good friendships without the necessary sacrifices and risk-taking of being betrayed it's very real dear Demi we back in the building yeah press play lean and watch the whole thing lift up to the ceiling let me turn it up right now whole squad locked in we don't back down hello guys and welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is Demi I make fashion beauty and lifestyle videos right here on YouTube if you're returning subscriber welcome back it's always good to have you okay so i just want to jump in on the conversation that is happening right now about friendship okay the fallout the friendship fallout between Jackie Aina and a creator that is called Marlene um correct me in the comment section if you know her name Mali is it Mali or Marlene i'm not sure but if you know her her name um go ahead and put it in the comment section um so this brings me to something that has been on my heart to speak about i want to use the opportunity to talk about friendships uh friendships amongst creators friendships amongst women um especially people of privilege people that have more money or influence and sort of the dynamics that I've been noticing about that I've always seen a bit of issues when it comes to women befriending other women okay you know let me speak about me personally when I got into this whole creation thing about three four years ago I remember getting so excited and reaching out to some creators that I thought their content was great and not really getting a response and I didn't understand why it's like why I don't know if I should mention some of their names but there were some creators that I thought oh my god I just love her content I love the way she speaks I love the things that this person says I'm new to this i would love to connect with this person maybe they could teach me a lot we could be friends i could be there for them they could be there for me like that would be great you know like community type you know ish i thought didn't hear back and i was like hmm i i wonder why well i'm not wondering anymore i i completely understand um there is this issue where a lot of women especially women that have established something big for themselves are scared they really are scared the the only thing I would disagree with Jackie with when she made her response video she did make some videos that I wanted to discuss is when she said it's not lonely at the top because no it is I really do think it's lonely at the top and it's really scary uh because you heifers cannot be trusted like i understand now like say now i won't even bother anymore but say if i with my little channel you know with how many how many subscribers i don't have a lot reach out to someone with like a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand they probably won't respond on why let me explain why what is happening is a lot of creators have befriended people in the past that were smaller so someone with a hundred thousand subscribers befriended somebody with five thousand subscribers and then they put you on even like they you know they they show you a lot of things they save you years um they shouting you out on their platform directing a lot of their traffic to your platform you grow bigger and bigger then your dumb ass goes on the internet because you guys have a little fight or whatever issue and you go and start bad mouthing this person who helped you what is what is wrong with you there's no loyalty there's no loyalty so it's like now i understand it's some creators okay i will mention one name there is a girl that i always talk about in my past videos Jessie Wu i talk about her she's never said anything well to my knowledge she's never like acknowledged that she's seen my videos and and i understand because she's big what the who am i she don't know me you know i just love this girl i think she's just a brilliant creator so i keep talking about her but for her not to say anything am i offended no because who the **** i'm sorry who are you she don't know you she doesn't know if i'm trying to take advantage of her take advantage of her audience and the thing that's happening like okay let me talk about jackie uh jackie came on this internet space um and for the first time and jackie oh my i'm so glad she she spoke out because jackie don't be saying ---- she don't be saying nothing you drag and drag and drag her she don't say nothing she don't defend herself and i really think it's messed up i like the new jackie i like i like the old jackie but i like how now she's like she's ready to actually defend herself because it's not fair it's not fair that because you know someone is big they can't you can just come and say whatever you know talk sideways and they cannot defend themselves i think that's wrong uh i think everybody should be able to speak up so i like that she she come out here and let y'all heifers know no uh i don't know why i guess maybe for legal reasons she chose to protect whoever it is she was speaking about she didn't even mention this girl's name and this girl came out here and did like a 12 hour response like a rant it's giving psychotic it's giving Jackie was probably right because and i don't even know what's going on for real for real with this too i just know Jackie came out and shared her story about betrayal the like essentially why creators don't want to befriend other creators this is why a lot of creators that i like that i love they they don't want to like mess with me and at this point i don't whatever like it's cool i understand do you boo you know i i get it because okay this is what is in their mind okay so now i mess with you we talk we kiki we you know we're really good friends we share deep ---- and then one day you're gonna take your black ass onto the internet and drag me for real and then all the secrets that i shared with you like it's not worth the risk it's not worth the risk especially when you your finances are tied to your platform um so this is why the loyalty is missing and it's really sad um i don't know about everybody else and i'm not trying to sell myself because at this point i don't care no more and whatever you know but i'd be damned if i attach my name to a creator or a creator that's bigger than me attaches their name to me um we're friends on the space you know pulling each other up and then i will come and drag oh hell i don't give a ---- even if they somebody i you will not hear from me i'll be quiet as a motherfucking Judge Morris it is not my no it i'm not gonna come out here to drag my friend are you crazy that's my friend okay i'm a leo so it's different for me though if and i'm by no means a perfect person i have my problems okay i have my issues but loyalty is not one of them to the death okay we're riding this ---- till the wheels fall off there's one of my friends you guys know about i'm not gonna mention her name she knows herself if she watches this video she knows she you know exactly who you are boo i'm not gonna put your business out there she said some some stuff to me she was like oh you know if i die you know my husband and you know you can help him too i was like oh hell no absolutely not my loyalty to her does not end even when she's dead because that's my friend are you crazy i don't give a ---- no you're not replacing my friend and if you do it's on site we are not friends don't speak to me you're not gonna betray my friend now or even when she's dead because that's my friend that's just who i am call it what you want it's crazy to you that's your problem but that's my friend i don't i don't believe this whole okay that's your friend but she's dead so now i'm gonna help your husband and find another wife are you tweaking hell now what what do you need another wife for absolutely not absolutely not i and if you're gonna do that don't involve me with ---- i don't want to hear i don't want to know anything that's not in the interest of my friend don't play i no don't bring it near me don't bring it near me okay if i say that's my friend that's my friend to the death that's it unless you betray me at that point honey i am washing my feet my hands i'm washing everything off of your ass you are done and dusted where is my phone honey okay it's a wrap but without that being the case for me friendship really runs deep it runs really deep i feel like and that's why i don't want to i don't at this point want to even be friends with everybody i can't i've never wanted to be friends with everyone because lions don't typically do that you know but if you're privileged to call yourself my friend you know that i got your back till the wheels roll off till the bitter end yeah if they're gonna beat us they're gonna be the two of us but i'm not gonna leave you by yourself you know i wish you know for the kind of friendship that i offer for my own self yeah because the the kind of loyalty i don't play by that and i understand that that doesn't exist now hence why people don't trust friendship or don't even want to risk the friendship uh but then again also we need community with other women because what yo i don't believe too much in the whole my man is my friend thing because honey when y'all have argument honey your man gonna use that stuff against you boo honey and you know see listen listen honey okay i i'm i guess you i'm very much in my de-centering or de-centering era i'm happily you know married so it's not like i hate me i do not but i believe in centering yourself i'm about my money i'm trying to keep my bag listen yeah and i do believe in having community with other women but not women that will like go on live for 12 hours trashing me like damn why are we doing that all on what this is why other creatures don't want to be friends because listen we could fight we could kiki i could be like listen you pissed me off you're going on okay because what you're gonna beat me at this big old age what you're gonna do i'm gonna you're gonna know i don't like what you say that's messed up okay don't talk to me like i don't like that don't do that however it's never going going on the internet because why why are we doing that why does everybody need to know what we said what like the betrayal is just too much and calling her a witch and all that's really messed up listen i'm happy for jackie that she you know sorry for what it is you know yeah and as for the other creators so many of them you know that don't mess with other creators or like keep their circle small i understand at this point see listen i understand it's crazy out here yeah everybody should just you know yeah do them whatever you feel safe with do you okay do you because people are crazy people are crazy and it's hard to know who to trust so i completely understand anywho um okay i think i'm just gonna play at the front of the video some of the clips because um yeah for me to like let you listen to it all the whole drama it would the video would take too long and i don't want to do that um also go to Jackie Anna's um page or other um reactors reactors like destiny destiny ute is a fantastic uh react reaction or commentary person here on youtube you could go to her page as well and watch the whole drama i think she has part one or two and i'm sure other people on the internet

haul okay so it's a few things i want to show y'all first i saw this um and i was like oh my god what is this beauty it is a banana hand cream um i did buy oh god a couple but you know how i am if it's not your first time watching my channel you know how i do when i like something you know i do buy a few because i like the shape look at it this one's i bought this one for my purse it looks like a real life banana for for and you just open it up and get the cream out and the cream does smell pretty good i think it's korean yeah korean skincare yeah it smells nice it's not bad but what i would have liked is if you could like unscrew this i wouldn't have bought all this you know like because when i would run out i bought it for the shape because it's so cute um i would just unscrew it and refill it but you cannot do that see it doesn't let you like unscrew so i was like dang then i was forced to buy multiple i guess that's a smart business move on the part of those that made it but not very good for me yeah but i think yeah i do have four extra ones other than the one that i'm already using i think it's cute i think it's cute i just like it um what else i want to show y'all i just got oh i've been so into rice rice body lotion i feel like there's a particular one that i love um oh i don't remember the name if i remember i'll put the picture up on the screen it smells divine um so now when i see like a rice one i do want to try this one's from bunny hill and it's like a thousand ml so it's so big um i'm not sure how good this one smells you could ask me in the comment section later on you know um so so we can discuss oh yeah i have another perfume uh to show y'all with that but oh also this three in one interchangeable makeup brush cute i thought this was cute and it was inexpensive it was like 12.99 and i think it's just like one brush but then it has like three other heads so like for travel you can use one for your foundation you use one for your powder use one for like contour or your blush do we like the makeup is it cute but yeah so that's what that is let's see what else oh yeah the hand cream why is this here i took everything out i got this set of hand cream that was on sale from and Klein took them all out I think it was one two three four why am I showing you the box this is so silly anyway oh I am in love with this thing so there's this uh Hatomugi skin conditioner one that I'm already using I've been using that one for I want to say a month now um but when I went online to like research more about it I found out like the most popular brand was this one that says Naturie the one i have does not say Naturie just it says everything else it looks exactly the same without the brand name uh this one says Naturie so but it looks the same i guess it's some sort of like rice water conditioner or some sort of like an essence or toner i put it in a spray bottle uh when i come out of the shower during the day i just spray my face with it let it dry before I go in with my serums because Korean skincare is my life right now I love I absolutely love this is that lotion oh my god when I say I was gonna put a picture this was the lotion I was gonna show you so when I saw an extra one well I bought this as an extra one because I really like that one that I've been using this is the brand Glamfox it smells so good I'm hoping that this is clear oh i don't think i have the product showcase on dang it's too late i have to turn it off for the next video but yeah that was like really really really really good the first one that i was using so i ended up getting the second one and then this bust cream what is it supposed to do firm and tone the bust area oh okay ah i never tried this so let's see if it's gonna work for girl let's see cuz you know I'm a woman of a particular age over mm-hmm so this one is organic botanics starter repair cream nah this was very barrier repair cream is on sale I think it was ten dollars and then they put it on sale for seven but some idiot decided to put the sticker on top of where you need to read when you could have put the sticker down here away wouldn't block anything you thought anyway whatever so because sometimes I use tretinoin retinol and what's the name of that the glycolic acid I feel like a barrier repair cream it will be very important for me so this serum I cannot wait to add this to my collection um I bought a bunch of this oh I also did even in this particular one yeah I I bought like I think three already but whenever I see it I buy because I feel like it's a dupe for the Anua TXA um that is a lot more expensive this is like very similar this is 10% niacinamide dark spot toning serum and and this one also has what niacinamide 10% tranexamic acid 4% and glutathione the other one that i buy the Anua i think that was like 30 dollars and this one is like 12 how much is this 12.99 13 so it's like so whenever i see these i buy i still buy the Anua one because love that but i feel like it's nice to have the dupe sometimes okay yeah and then what else did i buy oh this is like an AHA BHA cleansing pore perfecting treatment i really don't know what this is um yeah but when i saw pore i just bought it because yeah i like to have smaller pores oh and this Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica ampoule Skin1004 one i don't know why i got this i think i should have got the other one that said brightening because this one doesn't say brightening but i picked this one up and it was $15 so yeah I've been hearing about Skin1004 so I guess I just wanted to try it then this SPF 35 with a matte finish prime and protect the SPF i have i use a Black Girl Sunscreen and it does leave my face quite shiny um sometimes i don't like the shiny i love that sunscreen it's great but the matte i wish they had like a matte version let me know you know any sunscreen that doesn't leave white cast and is matte um but yeah that's why i felt like i should try this one by Olay i don't know if you tried this before and how good is it let me know let me know in the comment section because yeah we be hoarding skincare over here oh i have used this before i have one that i'm using but this is a backup it's a dark spot care vitamin C cream korean because here if it is korean we are buying oh my god i'm so mad you can't see nothing dang oh anyway what else so this one is the L'Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle firming eye cream because we need it we need it can you see come on focus l'oreal i love l'oreal okay so yeah oh uh i had this cream before it's a hyaluronic acid five in one cream it has hyaluronic acid niacinamide adenosine i don't know if i'm saying that right allantoin and aloe extract a five in one and i gave it to someone and um yeah i felt like i wanted to replace it just so that i could have one i never used that that was brand new um so i decided to pick up an extra one for me um to keep in my skincare arsenal and then this pdrn ceramide capsule cream for barrier support capsule glow and a skin balancer i've never tried and just look at the texture inside the glass it just looks so interesting so i wanted to try this out as well or just to keep it in my collection because you know I'll be doing it and then another vitamin C complex capsule cream made in Korea because you know I mess with that okay look at the texture of the cream it just looks so interesting and it's from the brand Medioderm which is the same brand that makes that TXA the dark spot correcting serum so yeah oh and my son Danielle has been like mom you should use collagen and retinol she's collagen and I'm like okay why and it's like oh just the whole science behind it I was like okay I do use retinol at night not all the time I should get more serious with my retinol um process the like i just not been using it as often as i should but yeah this one i saw the serum uh it's also from the brand Glamfox it says double effect retinol plus collagen visibly shining moisturized blah blah blah korean so you know me when when i say korean skincare i'm getting that i don't know if you can see this if it's like focusing yeah so i don't know if this is the first or the second i know i got another one but yeah anyway really excited about that oh and matcha i'm such a matcha girl i love me a good matcha so when i saw this Glamfox matcha retinol ceramide renewal cream gentle barrier renewal care infused with matcha extract i was like haha this should be interesting like it might be gimmicky I don't know if it's like for real because I mean you drink matcha so I'm not sure what it will do for my skin but yeah anyway I'm sorry the video is a little long I'm gonna try to round it up now oh and this vitamin C this Daxpo vitamin C serum oh 8.7% reduction the appearance of dark spots and blah blah blah okay it looked interesting it looks like it has some science behind it if my camera would just focus damn it i really need to turn on that product showcase thingy because it just makes it so much easier yeah so i don't know i've never tried this so i do want to see what it's going to um it looks familiar with the to the other one that i have oh and this BiFiller Pink Cloud loose setting powder i've never tried setting powder that was pink so i thought that was cutesy or whatever yeah it was just eight dollars so i'm like okay pink cloud that's interesting i guess that pink would do some sort of of cancellation of dark spots I don't know but as you can see I love makeup so I cannot wait to see what it does for me and oh we are almost at the end of this video this is a Centella what is this Bakuchiol eye cream this is $17 dang okay I think if that's Skin1004 brand again it looks like it'd be good so if my camera would focus this is annoying i need to really change the settings but yeah i want to try this i really do and the last item damn oh wait no the perfume i need to show you all the perfume is this um dark circle this is so stupid dark circle eye serum like I don't understand why they put the stickers on top of the place where you should read and understand how the product works this is so like I don't understand but
