Ever since Ryan ToysReview came under fire for it’s deceiving advertising practices,
people have started digging into the family’s past. Being that ryan is only 7 years old,
he doesn’t have much of a history. But it turns out that his mother, Loann Guann is
a convicted criminal. Should you care? Does it matter? Well that’s up to you. But I’m
still going to tell you about it right now on IO.
Welcome back to informoverload, we do the news, we spill the tea, we eat potatoes and
overlaod you with information. I’m charlotte dobre, I like your outfit girl, you lookin
cute! Listen I know we just met but I like you. I think you should sub so we can hang
out on the daily. Alright so here’s the deal. If you’ve
been a fan of this channel for a while, you know that Ryan Toysreview is being investigated
by the Federal trade commission, who has accused the channel, specificially Ryan’s parents
of subjecting preschoolers to ads disguised as toy reviews. Its very difficult for children
to differentiate between regular content and advertisements, especially in the format of
a youtube video. It is illegal to put sponsored content in a social media post, like a youtube
video without clearly indicating that the post is paid for. We did a whole video on
this, and if you want some more in depth coverage of that, that video is clickable on your screen
right now. This is the first time Ryan Toys Review has been involved in any type of scandal,
and thats definitely saying something, considering Ryan Toys Review is the top earning youtube
channel on the platform. So ever since the news broke that Ryan Toysreview
is being investigated, people have been looking into the family’s past. It turns out that
Ryan’s mother Loann Guann was arrested in 2002 for shoplifting. She was trying to steal
around 93 dollars worth of clothing from JC Penney at Almeda Mall in Houston texas. Loann
was 18 at the time and attending University of Houston. She faced 60 days in jail, but
instead the judge gave her 6 months probation, a $150 fine, and she was told she had to complete
40 hours of community service and complete random drug tests. Problem is, Loann did not
show up to her community service, she didn’t report to her community advisor, nor did she
pay the fees. She got arrested again in 2003 for violating her parole and spent 30 days
in jail. To me its like…listen, this isn’t a big
deal. Yeah she shouldn’t have stolen the clothes in the first place, yeah she should
have also followed through with all the conditions of her parole, especially after the judge
went easy on her. But, She was only 18 years old and she definitely shaped up after these
mistakes in her young adulthood. After she was released from jail, Loan went to Texas
Tech university and became a teacher. That’s where she met her future husband, ryans soon
to be father, Shion Guan. They married in 2010, had ryan in 2015, and things definitely
improved for them when Ryan got old enough to play with toys. Ryan Toys review the channel
earns about 1 million dollars a month, and the amount of money he earns from brand deals
puts his earnings at a lot more. She made a couple considerable mistakes when
she was young, and that was 2 decades ago. But that hasn’t stopped several news outlets
for trying to use this as fuel for the fire. Yes, Loann is a convicted criminal, and coincidentally,
running a youtube channel is one of the few jobs you can do without a background check.
But its unfortunate that we live in a society where if you make a mistake in your youth,
you’ll never be able to live it down. Im actually pretty impressed with Loan and the
fact that she was able to turn her life around when most people in her position wouldn’t.
Loan now manages her family’s four companies, and she’s raising ryan and his two twin
sisters, which is a full time job in and of itself. The thing that does irk me about all
of this is the fact that the channel that she runs is not abiding by advertising laws.
I’m not sure if her previous record will come back to hurt her with the current case
being brought against her but I guess we will all have to wait and see.
Does it matter to you that Ryan’s mother is a convicted criminal? Let me know down
in the comments, for now I’m gonna wrap up this video with some comment features from
my last video on ryan toys review. Aidan Rodriguez – Holy crud this is some
serious tea! Madam charlotte please pass the potatoes please. Only because you said please
twice. Just some bigfoot with internet access – why
does youtube even promote channels and videos like that anyway. Because there’s nothing
controversial about them. Youtube’s primary goal is to keep advertisers happy. The more
kid friendly a channel is, the more youtube will favour them in the algorithm.
