Mini Ladd's Apology, and my thoughts on it. (WARNING! VERY ANGRY!)

*sigh* Mini Ladd made an apology video. I'd say it took him long enough, but... something about it... doesn't feel... right. I got few things I want to say, but I will be trying to keep an open mind. Mini Ladd's text will be in orange. btw sorry if this is long, but there's a lot to cover.
Hey guys.
We are not on a friendly basis, you pathetic pedophilic, kid grooming motherfucker.
This video has been a long time coming and this is something I've been wanting to talk about for a while, but...
You're 10 months late, Mini. The only reason you're just now talking about it is you because you want sympathy.
2020's been an awful year for everybody, and I want to go into next year knowing that I have said my peace
It has, for you more than others, and on the subject of him saying he wants to go into next year, let's not beat around the bush here. The only reason he's saying it now is because he wants everyone to forget about what he did. Sorry Craig, but it's not that simple. It's never going to be that simple. It will NEVER be that simple.
I've told you guys exactly what's going on. As my fans, you guys deserve to know what's going on, uh and I hope this video helps you understand everything better and I want to apologize for the things that I've done.
Don't worry, Craig, everyone knows what's going on...because every single drama channel has talked about it because you wanted to hide it so you wouldn't get in more trouble. Also, once again, you should have apologized 10 months ago, then you wouldn't have been in this mess to begin with.
I'll try to make this video as short as I can so I don't keep you guys here too long.
Oof, wrong thing to say there, Craig. Makes it sound like you want this be over and done with like some people forced you to do it...Oh wait, that is the reason. You wouldn't be doing this if we weren't talking about it constantly, would you?
I don't want this to be excused as an excuse or victimizing myself or anything like that, I just want to give you guys my thoughts.
You want it to be the reason people forget about you trying to fuck a 16 year old. I'm not that stupid, and no one else is that stupid, except for you ever faithful subscribers who have been constantly harassing people over this, trying to defend what you did.
This is no more... no more PR teams, no more anything like that. This is just Craig. This isn't Mini Ladd. This is Craig talking, and I want to be as transparent as possible.
Why should I believe you? Why should anyone believe you? You were manipulating these underage girls to stay silent by threatening to kill yourself, and paying your Discord moderators to contact these people to keep them quiet. On the subject of his mods, they were keeping these people quiet by staying stuff along the lines of, "You can't tell anyone about this, bro. This will ruin his career, dawg. You can't ruin a man's career, that's not cool, yo." Seriously, fuck your retarded Discord mods, and fuck you, you dumb bastard.
I wanted to explain through, exactly what happened, the reason why I did it, and go from there.
Uh-huh, let's see how long it takes you to pull the mental health problems card.
There was two people involved in this situation. Those names were Halley and Ash. I'll be taking them individually, they both happened around the same time, and I just wanted to go through it with you guys.
Alright, good start. Please, walk us through your reasoning for trying to fuck underage girls. I'm totally sure you won't have a shitty reason for it.
The first person I wanted to talk about was Halley. Um, a lot of people think that these people were random fans that, um, I got in contact with, but, um, both Halley and Ash, these are people who are my friends.
Correction, WERE your friends, because neither of them want anything to do with you anymore, especially after what you fucking did.
Halley, I've know for a long time, since maybe 2013, 2014, and Halley was one of my Twitch mods. Halley was a really good Twitch mod. She helped me out, she helped Terroriser out, she helped a lot of the guys out who I played with, um, on our streams. She was someone that I could go to with, um, my problems. We became close because of our issues.
Ahem, that is incorrect. or maybe I just never knew about it. The thing is though, she never mentioned helping Terroriser with anything, much less anyone else's streams. So until someone can prove me wrong, I'll just say that this is just Craig lying. Also, don't try to drag Terroriser's name through the mud. You've already done that enough in the past when you separated from the Vanoss crew, and started shit-talking them on your livestreams.
We both had our issues. It's not my place to say what's going on with her, but, um, she's someone who has helped me out a lot.
Correction, YOU have issues. Any issues that she has were caused by you, you dirty pedo!
The first thing I wanted to say was, I added Halley on Snapchat when she was 16. This isn't when I was making any remarks towards her, this is just where I talked to all of friends, I was that guy who had streaks, um, and I wanted to make sure that our streaks were good, because back in 2015 , that's kinda what people did.
Hahahahaha, about that... If I remember correctly, the reason you added her on Snapchat was, 'I like your features, especially your ass,'. Add that to the list of contradictions.
It wasn't until 2016, when she was 17 that I first started to flirt with her. I was 21 at the time, um, and that's not okay. Like, and I'm aware of that.
If you were aware of it then why the fuck did you do it?! Were you just that fucking horny?!
So with Halley and both with Ash, um, I sent them messages around this time, and I understand what I'm gonna say next is quite taboo online, but, if this is my way of putting all my cards on the table and telling you guys what happened, I feel like I need to say it.
He shows images of his messages to Halley here. In them, he puts things like, "Why even before this, I've hated myself for the last year everyday. My thought process was she was nearly 18." and, "I knew she was 17, but I was suicidal and said to myself if im going to kill myself I thought id go down swinging." Craig. This is fucking disgusting. You be ashamed of yourself. You deserve to be in prison. What you fucking did is unacceptable.
The reason I did what I did, and there is even a message where I said this, is because, what I said there is true. I... did try to end my life at the beginning of 2017. Um, I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm not looking for anything. This is not what this is about. This is telling you guys the reason and I just want you to understand the headspace I was in.
So that's why you did it, because you were suicidal? That's a reason, but it's a very horrible reason. Shame on you.
The reality is I was being selfish, I wasn't thinking about... repercussions, I wasn't think about anything, I was just being stupid and I-I really want to apologize for that. I just wasn't thinking, and... I regret it, and I've regretted it since. And for that, for both Halley and Ash, I'm really sorry.
Exactly. You WEREN'T thinking. Your actions have consequences, Craig, but if you knew that, you wouldn't have done this, now would you?
Ash, to me, I knew a lot shorter, I may have only know her a few months. Uh, she was a part of a group of friends who my Twitch mods were friends with, and that's how we became friends. This is someone who I became friends with just through association with my friends, um, and the stuff I said to her is just not okay, either. And, that's-that's not what I want, you know? She was someone that I really did call my friend, and it really sucks that I let her down like that.
I'm just gonna say this, in this part of the video, he show an image of his Snapchat messages to Ash, but he edited out some of the messages he sent. The messages he edited out were these ones, "I'm hard for you, bae. I'm gonna cum for you bae. Im cumming for you bae!!!" Gross, right? More importantly, why bother hiding it? Everyone already knows.
I also wanted to point out a message that I sent, uh, to Laura who was a part of my Discord mods. She's someone who I met... a few years back, maybe 2016, um, and she was someone who I'd consider a friend as well.
I... didn't know anything about this actually. This is new to me.
Whenever we went to Insomnia, we'd used to hang out and meet up at the booth that Terroriser and I had, um, and I sent this message. Whenever I saw them coming out with my message, I sent them, I sent them this.
This message, however, I did know about. Blue is Laura.
Hey man, uh yeah ash has tweeted on her priv, mentioning writing her own, "Expose" Can you talk to her? Tell her that im not who I was when I was younger. Tell her about my recent suicide attempt.Sure, I'll do my bestKeep me posted. I'm really scared.
I feel sad that Laura had to put up with your incompetence, Craig. Are you sure she was your friend, and not some tool for you to use and discard?
This isn't me. That's not right. It's-It's something that I completely regret. I panicked, I was scared. I didn't know what to do, and I just...I love my job so much that I didn't want it to go away, and I just wasn't right.
Take notes here, everyone. This is what not to do in this situation. Secondly, Craig , you are fucking pathetic.
So to Halley, and to Ash, here at the end, uh, and even to Laura for-for bringing that up... I'm sorry guys. You were-You were my friends. I failed you. I was only thinking of myself and was being stupid... and I wish I could take it all back.
We all have said things we wish we could take back. Whether it be a minor insult to a friend, or something as horrible as this. Unfortunately, Craig, in life we don't get do overs. This will be something you have to live with for the rest of your life.
I also want to add in here that a lot of people think that I haven't apologized to these girls. Um, I had to... fight my PR team for this, but in my initial apology on Twitter, I said that I would privately message an apology, uh, separate apology... to these women, and that's what I did. My PR team said not to message them, but these were my friends, and I thought it was right, and that they deserved their own private apology, and I'm not gonna show the apology, I'm gonna blur it out, but I wanna show that it's there. It wouldn't be a private apology if I told you guys what was in it. So I hope you can understand the privacy in that matter.
The privacy is understandable. The decisions your PR team makes are fucking dumb. Also, how do you have a PR team? Also, ex-friends.
I have no ill will against you guys. I want you guys to go out there and I want you to prosper and I want you live up... the exact life you wanna live. I want you to be happy. There's one thing I've learned over this last 6 months is I... I care about the happiness of my friends. I realize that I let you down and I hope that life is good to you.
Bull! Fucking! Shit! Bull and shit! If you truly fucking cared about your, "Friends", you wouldn't have done all this shit to begin with! You wouldn't have sent your fans to harass Terroriser! You wouldn't have talked shit about the Vanoss Crew on your stream! You wouldn't have physically abused Sammy or your Ex! You wouldn't have tried to have sex with a 16 year old girl! You wouldn't have tried hide what you fucking did! You wouldn't have done any of this if you. fucking. CARED!!! So don't give me, or anyone else this garbage, you fucking, disgusting nonce!
So, my final thoughts, just to wrap up, um, what I've been doing the last 6 months, and why it's taken me so long.

Well, the reason why... it's taken me so long to make this video is... I was scared. Pretty early on, I wasn't okay. That's the reason I went back to Northern Ireland, not to flee charges, but just to go back with my family.
Doesn't matter, it still made you look like the goddamn coward that you are.
YouTube is my life. I've been doing it fulltime for 7-8 years now, I've been, you know the Mini Ladd channel is 10 years old... next year and... it's all I know, it's what I love, it's my passion, it's-it's what I wake up everyday and I love to do, and... I realize over the last even few years that... I just haven't put the love and attention into it than... you know what I want. I-I want, I want it to be like a portfolio of the cool things that I've done... and I want to rekindle myself I want to find out who I am. Not Mini Ladd, not anything like that, I want to find Craig.
Well, I've certainly found Craig. He's a disgusting pedophile, who constantly plays the victim card as well as the mental health card to excuse his wrongdoings, backstabs the people who make him popular, all while using his YouTube presence to prey on underage girls, who should be locked up with no chance of ever getting parole!!! I-I have nothing. L-let's just finish.
I've been in therapy the last 6 months, admittedly I've been in there every week, apart from a few weeks because of Thanksgiving and Christmas and everything like that, but and as much as I know that through this I've broke your guys' trust. I don't expect daffodils and rainbows after this. I want it to be raw. I want you guys to build up trust in me over time and... I want to be able to make videos that I'm proud of and I to be able to be better, and that's what I wanted to say, so thank you all so much for watching, um, there may be bits and pieces that I missed and for that I apologize, um, but I wanted to try and get everything in here. So this is all my cards on the table. This is me being as transparent as I can. I want to say thank you for watching, and have a happy new year and I will see you all in 2021. Let's-let's pray for a good 2021. So, thank you guys. Bye.
This ending feels like a slap to my face. Craig, all cards on the table for me, I hope I don't see you again in 2021. I hope that no one sees you again in 2021. What you did is completely unforgivable. The fact that there are people who still blindly follow you, despite what you've done, and who are so willing to forget what you did is sickening. The fact that you thought you could hide this from everyone is disturbing. The fact that YouTube is constantly defending you is appalling. To see the person I once worshipped, hell even wanted to grow up to be like... exposed to be such a heartless, disgusting individual who only cares about himself is fucking insulting! The fact that I can no longer watch older Vanoss crew videos anymore thanks your presence tainting them is depressing. Your apology is fucking worthless! And to think, I was honestly ready to bury the hatchet. Fuck you.

I wish that was happening, but with the fact that he's using bots and idiots to receive likes, it's as though we as a community have lost. Seriously, look. Most the comments have 1 thing in common: they follow the same statement: "You apologized and that's all that matters." Also TJV points out a few things I didn't notice.

Keep in mind, Mini Ladd's apology is 7 and half minutes long. TJV's dissection video is 22 minutes.
EDIT: this garbage apology is TRENDING?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
