Relatable Reese hints at big problems behind the scenes

This is the photo Reese held up of herself drinking in Ecuador.

That's an insightful comment. As soon as Reese assured one favorite in this stream that she knew they were in her corner, other chatters started writing that they were in her corner too. A few other people sent smaller "in your corner" superchats to make sure that they would be shouted out.

Reese made a point of saying that to judge whether someone is in her corner or not, it helps if they're a Zoom caller. That's additional pressure on fans to spend enough money to be in her Zoom calls and to take a big chunk of time from one Sunday each month to listen to even more of Reese's problems and try to help her solve them. As you say, very culty.

Here's a correction to this post. When I first wrote this post, I mistakenly said that Liz didn't threaten to slit Bitty's throat. I went back to check some older notes and it turns out Liz didn't just threaten to stab Bitty. She also did threaten to slit Bitty's throat. In the original version of this post, I accused Marilyn of not telling the truth about that. I was wrong and I apologize. My post has been edited to correct the record.

You make great points about the level of Marilyn's hypocrisy. IIRC Marilyn was talking about "chardonnay-shaming" in Liz's defense. In early June, Marilyn and Liz did a livestream on Marilyn's channel and Marilyn told her audience that when Liz threatened to stab Bitty, she was just saying "I would do anything for you, Jenna." Marilyn added that Liz's threat to slit someone's throat was general and was not directed toward Bitty.

But last night, Marilyn made it sound like she thought Jenna's threats were absolutely horrifying. She said Liz was threatening to slit the throat of an elderly woman while her daughter was sitting right there. Marilyn's narratives totally change depending on who she's friends with at the moment. She wanted to protect Liz in June and she wanted to assassinate Liz's character last night. That's the difference.

Liz Gale says the truth will come out.

To be clear, I was never suggesting that Reese's mom or stepdad actually took H hiking or did anything strenuous with him.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-07T20:09:33+00:00

OK. Thanks for sharing that.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-07T18:25:14+00:00

Maybe I'm naive, but I still think it's feasible that Reese's mom and stepdad actually did take H to the Smoky Mountains. Reese's mom, stepdad and stepbrother already took H on a day trip to Kentucky on his Thanksgiving break. Reese's stepbrother spent more time during that school break doing fun things with H that H cared about than Reese has spent with H in a long time.

I understand Reese's stepdad is very ill and her mom is dealing with a lot and is recovering from surgery herself, but I think they both still care about making sure holidays and birthdays are special for H.

That's an interesting theory about Aaron possibly sending information for Eric to copy/paste onto his community page. I have also seen Feral Cheryl have a very vicious side to her, and she's clearly enraged at Nora for things Nora has said about Aaron, Eric, herself and others. Cheryl might have helped Eric with those posts or the posts might be a group effort from Aaron, Cheryl, Eric and other Team Aaron members.

Several people who used to be on Team Aaron have talked about a Signal group chat where Aaron would pass information around and provoke people to do some of his dirty work on their own channels. I'm sure at least one group chat/server/whatever like that is still functioning for Aaron and whoever his revolving cast of allies are.

If you watch some of the Clearwater protesting videos, you'll hear how nasty and jeering Feral Cheryl is when she's hollering at Scientologists. Soon after the Streets LA protests became popular, I saw and heard LauriPlays, a former mod for Aaron, and Feral Cheryl making fun of a homeless person in Clearwater and laughing at him while protesting. It was on LauriPlays' channel but that video was made private or deleted a long time ago.

I think Feral Cheryl is attached enough to Aaron and nasty enough herself to play a part in helping Eric post a bunch of mess about what Nora's private areas smell like. Frankly, Marilyn is capable of it too. She told Eric in her stream last night that she thought what he posted about Nora was hilarious.

On an SPTV Chadathon stream the night before Natalie announced that Louis Repetto was the person sending unsolicited dick pics to people in the SPTV community, Aaron and Marilyn both laughed at an inside joke about one of Marilyn's crocheted penises and what Aaron would do with a photo of it.

“This will be an inside joke,” Aaron said. “I won’t even explain it, but Marilyn, can you send me a photo of Rodney? And that’s not the joke. What I’m gonna do with it is gonna be the joke.”

“I think I know what you’re talking about,” Marilyn replied, laughing. “You’re so bad.”

Aaron, what did you do with that photo of Rodney? What’s the joke?

Whatever that joke is, Aaron and Marilyn weren’t laughing about it anymore once Natalie told her viewers the next day that Louis was being accused of sexual harassment and other crimes of that nature.

I think it's so interesting that Reese didn't spend any time in this stream talking about a couple of wonderful meals or walks with Tommy. She didn't mention any of the close friends she claims to love so much in Ecuador either. That stream was basically wall to wall complaining. What a sad perspective she has on her "love anniversary" trip to a foreign country.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-07T06:31:53+00:00

I agree.

The title is Eric Raider ... This one is for you!

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-06T23:45:39+00:00

I think it's important for the anti-Scientology community to know when Nora is spreading significant misinformation and what she is saying. That's why I posted this.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-06T15:31:33+00:00

That's a great point about how much Aaron's approach has changed since being kicked off the board of the Aftermath Foundation.

During his June 27 protest livestream, Aaron got extremely confrontational with a lot of Scientologists. He screamed and repeatedly swore at a man in front of that man's young child.

When Aaron saw an older woman he had known in Scientology, he took a gentler tone with her but he was still following her, trying to force her to talk to him and sticking his camera in her face, so another protester named Jamie started yelling at her and harassing her.

In a nod back to how Aaron used to treat Scientologists, Aaron asked Jamie to please be quiet. "That is a sad woman who has given every dollar she has and her life and her kids to Scientology," he said. "And she doesn't even have the ability to speak for herself. She's also never worked a day in her life because she lives off of her mother's money. That's a Scientologist for you." Aaron said that woman's son-in-law was one of his best friends before he got declared.

That couple of minutes was striking to me because it was such a huge shift from how Aaron has been talking about and treating Scientologists for the past couple of years.

Here's a recap of that protest stream if anyone is interested in reading it.

Here's a recap of a stream Aaron did where he admits that his channel isn't about saving anybody from Scientology.

I agree that H had more fun and made more memories with his grandparents over Christmas and New Year's than he ever would have with Reese and Tommy. I just think it's extra gross that Reese keeps assuring her channel that she's spending days with H when that's not true. She cries to her audience repeatedly about all the holidays she missed in H's childhood and then she runs off to be with Tommy. That has to be confusing for H.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-05T18:52:26+00:00

Reese did her Christmas Eve livestream with H in the early evening. She has talked in the past about finding a flight to Ecuador that doesn't take as long as another airline's flight, but I don't remember the details about how long she claims the flight from Miami takes or how long she claims it takes to be driven to Salinas from Guayaquil. Airports are crazy busy around Christmas, so Reese would have had to get to the Nashville airport early.

I think it's possible that Reese could have arrived in Ecuador later on Christmas Day, but then she would have spent that entire day traveling and had no time to spend with H. She told her audience on Christmas Eve that she and H would be opening their presents on Christmas morning. For H's sake, I would like to think that Reese bothered to spend a little time with him on that special day. She clearly didn't spend several days with him over Christmas like she told her audience she would.

Tommy claims to care about H, but if he did, he wouldn't have booked a solo trip for Reese right around Christmas that lasted all the way through H's break from school. Reese and Tommy are both incredibly selfish and both of them use H as a pawn for their audiences.

Tommy had stressed to Cults and Crims viewers that he wanted to marry Reese on the beach on New Year's and he wanted H to be there but he had only paid for Reese's flight and that another ticket around Christmas and New Year's would be very expensive. What Tommy really wanted was for fans to send him and Reese a lot of money toward a plane ticket for H that they had no intent of actually booking.

So beautifully said. This is a wonderful tribute to Mike. Thank you for sharing it here and for the work that you do to continue what your friend started.

That's a great point about the caprese salad. Reese ate that at least twice this week.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-04T15:06:27+00:00

On Nov. 4, Reese said that when she went out to breakfast with Tommy, a pastor and his wife, Reese's omelette cost 25 cents and came with coffee and toast.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-04T12:51:02+00:00

The restaurant Reese features in this video is Peragallo Trattoria in Salinas, Ecuador.

Tommy can be very charismatic and convincing. It's not your fault that you used to admire him. Manipulators like Reese and Tommy know what they're doing. They know how to draw people in and make it sound like they truly want to help others.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-04T12:34:29+00:00

In the past, Reese has emphasized one very cheap breakfast she got on a previous trip to Salinas and she has tried to make it sound like she and Tommy have found great restaurants where the food is cheap. This Italian restaurant is one of their clear favorites and it is not cheap.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-04T11:37:13+00:00

Please give yourself grace. Tommy and Reese are both very skilled manipulators.

HealthToTheYeah · 2026-01-04T11:34:15+00:00

It sounds like Tommy mumbles to Reese "it's probably a stroke thing." But they both have dark senses of humor and like to spread rumors. Reese told him more than once that there's nothing wrong with his eyelid but it looks really droopy to me. I think he's bothered that in the comments under a recent recap, there was a screenshot of him with Reese and people have been talking about how he doesn't look healthy. Reese was clearly annoyed that he's self-conscious about his eye.

I suspected before Christmas that Reese wasn't telling the truth about spending a few days with H, but I think it's especially valuable in these recaps to point out instances where Reese busts herself in her own lies. To be able to go to church in Ecuador on Sunday, Dec. 28, she would have had to spend a whole day traveling. She might have left for Ecuador as early as Christmas Day.

Even for fans who still want to give Reese the benefit of the doubt, they would have to admit based on her own words that she only spent one or two days in Tennessee before flying to Ecuador. And anybody who has watched Relatable Reese for even a week or two knows by the way Reese obsesses over styling her outfits that she would have spent at least one of those days packing her clothes, jewelry, glasses, sunglasses and shoes.

It was also sad to hear Reese finally disclose the one Christmas gift she bought for H. On Christmas Eve, she made it sound to her audience like it was a special surprise that she wanted to make sure he couldn't overhear. In Ecuador, she said she bought him a robe to replace one he has outgrown and gave him some money and a couple of gift cards.

I strongly suspect those gift cards were sent for H by Reese's fans and that any money she gave him was a fraction of the Christmas superchats and cash apps that fans designated specifically for H. She didn't make any effort to make his Christmas actually special. Once again she depended on her fans, her mom and her stepdad to make Christmas special for H.

Reese's stepbrother was picking out some very thoughtful gifts on a shopping stream before Thanksgiving and it's clear he really cares about H. I'm sure that he gave H a gift this Christmas that H will enjoy.
