I’m no longer staying quiet.
I became one of Jesse Ridgway’s aka McJuggerNuggets biggest fan in 2015/2016, then stopped watching in 2022 for my own personal reasons (I had my suspicions on the kind of person he really is).
I supported him through SO much; defended him and all. I bought an UNBELIEVABLE amount of Juggie merchandise over the years. I made sure with Twitch and everything else that had an option for a paid subscription I did it when I could. I went to New York in 2018 to meet him at his MVE Live Event. I went to California in 2019 to meet him at VidCon.
To now learn that him and his wife aborted their son due to Down Syndrome…I’ve been VERY infuriated and SO disgusted. I have family with special needs (one of them was tested with having Down Syndrome but ended up not even having it). I’ve worked/babysat/tutored with special needs of all kinds over the years and they are such amazing people and they were always the highlight of my day!
I can’t believe I ever supported this man. Part of me feels like I wasted YEARS of my life dedicating myself to supporting him. Honestly my heart hurts. I’m just so done. Fuck this.
