I didn't want to make this video.
This channel has never been about drama but I've been getting hate like this
So I guess it's time for me to address it.
Hi!
So today we have a very different video. I'm gonna talk about someone's malicious campaign towards me.
I'm also gonna talk about clickbait and money.
I don't like to give haters any attention. So no free shout outs for anyone.
So please don't leave comments or hate on this person's page.
And I know there's a lot of reviews out there about me.
There's some good ones, there's some bad ones and that's totally okay.
Everyone's entitled to an opinion.
There's people saying that oh, Chloe's workouts don't work. Oh, Chloe's a scammer.
There's even a guy doing my C rotations making fun of me, which I honestly found it quite funny.
I don't mind that. As a Youtuber, I get it. My name in the video titles gets clicks. It is what it is.
I'm not trying to brag, and most Youtubers know this.
Most people have their say and then move on with the content and that's fair.
But it's this one particular guy that I can't respect. No, no, no, no, no. He was different.
So he curated 62 instagram stories about me. That's a lot of effort, by the way, and that happened two months ago,
and, normally, I don't give a shit about these things but to see him selling it as an
expose on Chloe Ting and trying to milk it after two months trying to make a profit out of it,
having people quote him like it's the truth . . .
That's just not right when it's defamatory, which is what we're talking about today!
Someone's defaming me!
I don't condone this, and I won't be a pushover, so i'll give you my attention and let's have a look at this expose.
wHoa
The scoop on Chloe Ting. "I'm not doing this to spread hate" . . . really?
You're kind of are if you're still talking about me after two months. "Before I diarrhea on her,"
Not even the second line . . .
He's already shooting on me guys, but wait . . .
he's a "professional" Not spreading hate at all!
"Before I diarrhoea on her, I went to dig through her content so I can make a fair case."
So this part is really important, guys, because he's dug through all my content so he can make a fair case.
Based on him, I'm fake news and I'm Trump.
So, let's see.
"She's the epitome of the toxic body image of the modern female body:"
"God forbid women do sports and have bigger thigh muscles."
"God forbid women lift weights to be stronger and fitter."
"Muscles are great. They are metabolically more active."
"I like the look of it. I love muscles and I think you should too. I have said this a million times,"
"but muscle gain is a good thing. I also really love lifting heavy weights."
Remember guys, he's watched all my content and he's a fair guy.
He claimed that I don't promote women getting stronger and fitter. Oooooh . . .
"You won't catch her doing bicep curls because that's not 'lady friendly'."
Stop it, Chloe! Stick to the narrative! We need to shit on Chloe Ting! Remember? She makes fake news!
"I'm no sociologist, but I do know these standards are fueling eating disorders and body dysmorphia"
Wow . . .
He knows apparently. So, he's linking my content to body dysmorphia
And eating disorder. "If I were to be unfairly critical about her own physique,"
"She doesn't have a great figure with decent muscular development either."
"She has some, but not great, glutes, but anyone can appear to have a good booty in a good pair of yoga pants."
"She's just a pretty face in yoga pants." So, first, he claims that I promote body dysmorphia disorders,
and then publicly shame my body and demeaning me as just a pretty face in yoga pants.
I'd like to understand your logic a little bit better . . .
I love how he makes these facts like he knows how my body looks like before my fitness journey.
Let's ignore the progress I've made. I'm just a pretty face in yoga pants, right?
I decided to chat to a clinical psychologist who specializes in body dysmorphia disorder.
He's someone that deals with this very real problem on a daily basis.
Hey, Ben! How's it going?
I'm good. So yeah, I sent you a couple of screenshots about that instagram story.
What do you think about that?
Well, yeah, I mean it looks like you're being you're being trolled a bit
It's a bit of a shame that he points out that you might be
Um getting people to be hyper focused on their body, but then
I mean he seems to do the same thing to you as well
I know that's the reason why I was so shocked. I was like what?
Would you consider that as body shaming? Absolutely
I think it's body shaming and I know one of the things that you've been concerned about when we
First started chatting about this stuff is you've really wanted to make sure
that your content
isn't
triggering for people and isn't perpetuating under
Unrealistic standards of beauty.
I have a question for you. Um, because since he just kind of body shamed me
Do you think that being shamed like anyone being shamed publicly or just?
Privately about how your body look like could affect someone's self-esteem.
And also could that possibly
contribute to bdd
Yeah, absolutely. So we know that most people have experienced some sort of body shaming in their life
Sometimes pretty mild sometimes bigger, but we know that people who are particularly ashamed
about their body and have this obsessive
preoccupation with their appearance and the vast majority of those people
recall
Um early instances of having their having their body shamed in some way
And um, so absolutely it affects people's self-esteem. So one last question do you think
a workout title or the content itself has an impact on developing bdd
what i've been really impressed with about
Looking at your content and seeing the community that you're building
Is that it's a really
kind and compassionate community
where there's a focus on diversity and that everyone's
you know on their own individual journey, you know, and you're constantly saying things like
Um don't compare your progress to other people's progress.
You're constantly saying things that you know,
Make sure you eat because in order to build this muscle you you can't be restricted
Um, you're saying things that you know, it's more about the way we feel than we look
and so I think that the content
of
Um of the videos matters so much more
in terms of um affecting people's well-being and I gotta say I think that a lot of people are probably you know,
Not only you know looking better but most importantly feeling good
And feeling connected to everyone else who is you know on this journey with us. That's a really nice
nice compliment from a doctor
It's funny because like I always expect the worse
After being on social media for so long, like people are always criticizing every little thing we do
Our conscious mind can pay attention to one thing at a time and what we choose to pay attention to
Goes about creating our view of reality
So, I hope that you're not going to be paying attention too much to the criticism
and for everyone else out there watching your stuff
I hope that they're not focusing on my new details about their body
Or um about what they think other people are thinking about their body,
you know, if we just focus on one aspect of our appearance
Or one metric like weight that's a recipe for disaster. We've really got to be having a
Diversified basis for our self-esteem. It's not all about the way we look that's really awesome, man
Like I would love to bring you back on my channel and diagnose me
I'm finding it difficult to tell well i'm interested to know how you're feeling with all of this pressure and all of this this
Trolling. I mean it'd be interesting to chat with you about that. Yeah, we'll do that. We'll do that
alright take care see ya
Yeah, all right he then proceeds to comment on a result video
He says these girls made progress because they stopped eating crap
not because they did my 10 minutes workout for two weeks
No one said that that's all they did. I stress about the importance of nutrition all the time
She also mentioned that she was eating really clean which is why she was seeing such great results
If you want to get a flat belly you got to do ab workouts
you got to do full body workouts and you got to have a clean diet,
which is why I included a meal prep video because
All these are essential to reach your goals
also really convenient for him to leave out the fact that the video directs people
To a schedule that requires them to do more than just 10 minutes workout a day
its a video titled get abs in two weeks
And he's taking it literally because he has an agenda
He doesn't seem to have a problem telling other people to disregard a video title for other fitness workouts
But when it comes to my workout titles, no, no, no,
it's a big problem. I got to sh*t on chloe ting
It's pretty evident that he understands the concept of a video title on youtube very well
And here's the crazy part his own brother's girlfriend did some of my workouts too
She doesn't seem to have a problem. Understanding was just a workout title
if most people can understand the simple concept of a fun challenge, I never
Went into this challenge thinking that I was going to get abs.
I wasn't expecting a miracle. I wasn't expecting one
Of course, you're not gonna get abs after like a one
20 minute workout. Well, i'm not delusional and I know i'm not gonna get asked
I can guarantee you that
Chloe didn't make the program thinking every single person that did it was gonna get abs in two weeks.
Yes, girl
Did you get that?
If they can figure it out and so can someone in your household figure it out.
Why can't you oh, yeah, that's right
We need to sh*t on chloe ting
Here's another thing that I found really malicious in one of my videos
During the starter pandemic. I was trying to give comfort to you guys saying that it was okay to snack if you want to
And I was eating chocolate every day at that time
It was a tongue-in-cheek comment
And he really pounced on that, taking it
Literally every time trying to ridicule me and this results in other people taking it out of context, too
I've seen some videos where she says she has eaten like chocolates the whole day. It's okay if you do her
abs challenge workout for 10 minutes!!!
and then he put words in my mouth.
She's saying don't worry about whatever you eat
Don't worry about your weight
Just do her magic 10 minute workout and you will either gain muscle or lose fat
No diet needed
tell me exactly where I said to eat chocolate every day and just do my 10 minutes workout
No diet neither and you'll lose fat i'm not even a quarter turtus and he has dug himself such a deep hole
So regarding chocolates, I came across abby sharp who's a registered dietitian
Who reviewed what I eat in a day the good and the bad
I appreciate what she said because she did it respectfully
I'll put a link up a video in the description box, but I asked her about eating chocolates every day
And here's what she had to say.
Hey chloe to answer your question about chocolate
I wholeheartedly believe that we really need to stop dichotomizing food as good or bad
Obviously we know that foods are not created nutritionally equal
and then apple would probably be a more nutritious choice than a chocolate bar
But by making them morally equal we can remove their power over us
And in turn reduce our desire to binge on them in excess
there is nothing wrong with enjoying fun foods like chocolate regularly even daily
As long as they're not crowding out other nutritious foods in the diet
but based on what i've seen on your channel, I
Really applaud you for promoting a generally balanced approach to food and for normalizing eating these often
Demonized foods in moderation, especially in the fitness world where restriction is often praised
All right, based on legal advice i'm gonna stop after these final three to summarize
He then tried to ridicule exercises like the hundreds saying that it was just fanning your knees.
Well, it's not even fanning your knees
It's a basic pilates move i'm surprised because he positioned himself as the fitness expert here
He also make claims that i'm deceitful and that I don't want to scare people into thinking it's painful or difficult to burn
250 calories say this all the time
to not compare your calories burned to another person's calorie
because it's not gonna be the same and he was taking
This out of context because I was telling people to not compare how much their calories burn against mine
and lastly
He also said that the workouts have zero intensity
That's what people want these days the easy way out. He's not trying to just attack me
He's literally attacking everyone that's doing my workout
Saying that it's zero intensity and you you sweat are fake needs just like me. It doesn't work guys
have no intensity
I need to keep shi*ting on chloe ting. That's my agenda
Yes, if you wanted to grow your instagram following and sell your pt services
You could have just done it the right way grow it organically just like everyone else it's hard
But you gotta do it the right way
But instead you choose the easy way out by bringing someone else down so
he can rise up so the other part of this
Expose references a video that I made in early 2018
It's funny how he had to go so far back into 2018
To try to bring me out of context every human being learns things every day
What you know today might have been different two years ago and might be different two years from now
I'm sure there's things i've said in the past that I don't believe in anymore
and there's definitely times where I might stumble or my form wasn't 100
throughout an entire workout that I filmed in one take
I'm not ashamed of any of that i'm not perfect and I know that and I don't strive to be perfect
I think there's a lot of arrogance and flexing in the fitness world
And the moment you get arrogant is the moment you stop learning. I don't have anything to prove to anyone
I've done something good and I have helped people before I end the video
I just want to touch on money and click bait because those seem like the things that people get triggered from
Here's some of my youtube titles get abs in two weeks get shredded abs in 10 minutes
I've never guaranteed anyone asked or so any programs guaranteeing ads
It's easy for people to make a judgment or conclusion based on my workout title.
Trying to get people in with clickbait
Maybe they'll stay for the content. You can't target fat loss don't expect quick results
The whole point of this tourish red was to get people to get started on their fitness journey
The reason why I have this two weeks program is because a lot of people can't commit to a four weeks program biggest
Transformation I think is mentally I actually want to exercise it is where I see the most progress
I have muscle in my arms the workouts are getting easier
Not everybody is going to get crazy results, but it's a great way to get started getting back into fitness
So the thumbnails that you see on my videos are the best version of myself
And they are also photos that I post on instagram that are the worst of myself
It's a fun challenge and every single results video
I've seen people seem to understand that you may not be able to get shredded abs into it, but they're gonna try it
Anyway, because that's the whole point is to get active and to get started on your fitness journey.
Click baiting
Almost everyone does it if you don't do it?
You're not gonna get used I can spend days on a video and it will get less views than a video that we shit out
For 10 minutes that has a better title
But apparently this makes me a scammer even though my content is free and all my programs are free
Maybe it's the thought that I earn money as a youtuber
And the amount of subscribers I have that pisses people off and the media claim that I earn 800 000
A month from youtube I can tell you now it is
Nowhere close to that youtube will be owing me so much money
If that's the amount I earn and I barely take up
Sponsorships the last sponsorship that I did on youtube was on the first week of january
And the last one that I did on instagram was
Last week, but the one I did before was a year ago
I could be making a lot more money if I sell my workout programs
if I would be selling you guys protein powders or any kind of
Sponsorships and I have people reach out to me to be part of their app
But i'm not interested in any of that i'm earning a comfortable amount of money and i'm a simple person
But thanks to the media for repeatedly making people think that i'm filthy rich
driving the jealous people my way and also republishing
Defamatory content like what you have seen today, very nice
I don't need to receive hate or trash over my free workout programs
that's just so
Unnecessary
i'm a human being and not someone you can just shit on just because you want to grow your following
Don't go to his page to spread hate and don't give him any attention because that's what he wants
All right, if you're still here, thank you so much for watching till the end. Trust me
There's a lot more going behind the scenes like people trying to use my name to make merch or put me in
Apps that I have nothing to do with I guess it comes with the amount of subscribers
Which I get it and I can handle it
I'm a big girl with a big pp! so smash that like button and for you haters out there smash that dislike button
It helps my engagement levels, too
And i'll see you guys in the next video
Bye
