All she had to do was make it a short film. Like genuinely, all she had to do was add a title card and a note at the end that she wanted to do something different and explore the emotions that would accompany this happening to her in real life. Instead of making it into a big joke at her audience's expense.

It's screaming she watched Juno one time

physical embodiment of "i'm 14 and this is deep"

For me, the saddest part of this story is that she believes a stupid lie is deep and meaningful with psychosocial implications, which just goes to show how truly immature she really is. What a brat.

lifetime did a movie about a girl doing a social experiment pretending to be a pregnant teenager. Because she was Hispanic people kept bringing up the stereotype and they kept saying she ruined her life. Even her friends and teachers were saying these rude things about her and she wrote it all down for her project. This girl however is just crazy.

I think the crying also shows that she is aware that pregnancy is a huge, life altering event and mentioning that “she isn’t ready” shows even more awareness

It’s ridiculous she’s trying to paint it as anything other than blatant attention seeking! 😂😂 it’s absolutely wild to me!

What would be gullible about believing that a 20 year old was pregnant?? She has more of those narcissistic tendencies that she spoke about than most people do, which would explain her lack of empathy and massive ego.

Uh "the joke is you connected to something that wasn't real" in this context basically just means "the joke is that I lied and you believed me". I don't really see how it's a joke at all. I mean, I never followed this person, I don't care and was never affected, but this is essentially just setting yourself up to not come across as genuine ever again, despite how she sounds like she wants to sound serious in her explanatory speech

As someone who’s never heard of her, when I saw the first video, I was thinking: “weird way to announce a pregnancy, but ok, hope it goes well”. Then… the second video came.

I get that she has a pretty dark sense of humor (so do I), but I feel like she crossed a line here. It reminded me of when Cole Sprouse made a tumblr account and then he came out with how he was just observing tumblr users like guinea pigs as some kind of experiment for a college class and pretty much everyone turned on him, but this was WAAAAY more unethical. Ultimately I don’t really care about this controversy because it doesn’t affect my life at all, but I can fully understand why people got as upset as they did.

the "prank" was so juvenile and cringey, really showcased her impressive level of maturity for sure

She never cared about parasocial relationships, and her plugging her patreon right after telling everyone they connected to something that wasn’t real absolutely proves that. She was in it for the money and attention, she wanted to be relevant again. I sincerely hope she gets the experience that she lied to her audience about having. I truly do.

Yeah when she said she was in the second trimester with a huge belly she told on herself 😂

She literally created a lifestyle vlog type of situation and talks about fertility issues and possible surgeries etc. this is no longer a joke and is in no way funny. I really don’t understand this girl. What the punchline here? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I honestly wished I could feel more strongly about this but at this point I'm way too exhausted to be disappointed

I read this girl’s name as “Korn-star” 🤨😅

Glad you did this because the comment section on the latest Caroline Konstar video is strange. We can’t let her get away with this

"You guys are weird, give me your money"....what? I bet she spent hours and hours just snickering at the heartfelt comments people left her when they thought she was pregnant.

"It was all a social experiment" is the oldest internet cop out when someone gets called out on their shit.

Side note: love love love the hair and outfit ❤️ 🖤

This reminds me so much of the fake deep Cole Sprouse tumblr "social experiment" 😭😭 It's like she is just discovering empathy. I think it was very insensitive and I don't think it has to do with age as I'm pretty close in age with her. I have a condition that could cause infertility and even though before knowing that I had no intentions of ever getting pregnant, it makes me feel sad that there is something in my body not working how it should, even if I don't want to use that function, so to speak. But even then, I don't need a close experience to do with any other condition to be able to have empathy for whoever is going through it and not make weird "social experiments" and promo material about them

She took an interpersonal communications class *once* and thought she made some profound experience 😭😭😭

BIG side note, her patreon’s second highest tier is $60 and then her highest is $300. But remember guys this is just all a joke and not an attempt to gain money

Have you ever seen Caitlin Reilly and other comedians making fun of the typical quirky nlog girl in the hallmark movies, this caroline girl is that exact stereotype. People comparing her to witty dark comedians like bill hicks are seriously gullible

this is so weird. Choices were most definitely made here.

I’m so sorry to focus on aesthetics but COME ONNNN Giulia, you can’t just film in the most drop dead gorgeous, Jessica Rabbit-esque wig & that banger of a studded leather jacket & expect me to not address it??? You look STUNNINNN!! I appreciate your versatility in your style so much. I really really love this look, 10/10. Now, re: the video/topic @ hand. As a mother to a living child & also to 2 miscarried babies, i don’t get TOO personally offended when ppl (constantly?? for some reason?) use fake pregnancies to gain views or validation; it’s usually more of an afterthought, tho…and not a whole ass months worth of planning & acting. I’m still not upset, partly bc I am *incredibly* chronically online and well versed in the art of content creators using click bait/rage bait/intentional trolling, and after years of engaging & wasting SO much time/energy; I REFUSE to baited into rage or contributing to an idiots income with my opinion, only to be ignored, upset and still poor. (lol AS I was about to click to post, she says “your attention is monetarily valuable to me” BiNgO.)

I’m just a few years older than Caroline and the fertility shit still hits different, I grew up hearing stories about my grandmother’s struggles and loss of a child. I also follow India Batson and she is super open about her struggles. As a young single person I can’t really know what it’s like, but it only takes basic empathy to see how heartbroken people get about these things. It’s a super sensitive issue and clearly Caroline doesn’t understand that.

lmao when she’s 30 or maybe 40 she’s gonna look back on this and feel so embarrassed and shameful someone tell her she’s not a psychological research scientist by doing this 🤣

The fact that I’ve never heard of her tells me I’m doing something right lol. This isn’t a diss on you, I know it’s your job to know about stuff like this and this video was very entertaining

I was a very casual fan of her videos. To me, she was one of those KZfaqrs where I saw a couple of videos, subbed, and then dipped out forgetting about her until months passed. These two recent videos where my reintroduction to her as a personality and it's one I don't care to re-experience via supporting her channel. I really thought I was losing my mind reading the first batch of comments and seeing the 10s of thousands of people siding with her. The greatest results of this "social experiment" are that Caroline is incredibly emotionally immature, pseudo-intellectual and that a large portion of her fans that supported her recent "joke" are the very ones the joke is about.

That's not humor, just insensitive and pretending to be more deep than it is, the "I lost the baby" title itself could be so triggering for a lot of people I don't see in what context it could be considered "funny" or entertaining, this is just gross and attention seeking

For a second, I thought the title said Carolina Kostner (Retired great Italian figure skater) and I almost had a heart attack.

What makes me sick and annoyed beside faking the pregnancy, is her targeting some of her viewers for craving a para social relationship all while making a Patreon that invites that behavior.

Attempting to blame all bad actions on "perfomance acting" is so 2024 I am deceased

24min video? Oh, this is gonna be good

17:36 Literally this right here. Caroline definitely over-stepped and is sitting here trying to make it seem like this whole philosophical thing when its like... no hun, its quite simple. To me, she's just another immoral person doing immoral things.

I already knew that Caroline loves attention and has a weird humor which I loved... But this was such a bruh moment....

This hair color looks so beautiful on you.

Caroline Konstnar comes off as a pure narc.

I will never have kids & I am still dealing with that fact. Shit like this hurts.

I've struggled with fertility ever since my family lied to me & forced me to have an abortion when I got pregnant at 15 My OB says even if I got preg I would never make it to 2nd trimester All I have ever wanted is to be a mom

This whole situation is gross and cruel

She thinks people believe it cuz parasocial relationships but its really that people believed cuz "she wouldn't joke about that right?"

I went to high school and was kind of friends with a group of kids that acted this way. They tried to sound so smart and above you just because they were in high school and used big words 😅 Brought me right back to hanging around them when they almost seemed like they were trying to make me feel dumb. I never took the bait.

First of all, I cannot be more disgusted as a rainbow baby myself. I actually know a person who's been pregnant at 20 and actually had fertility issues. Making the decision to keep that child was the hardest decision she had to make because she knew that she may not have another child but she knew that she wasn't ready per sé to have a kid. The fact that Caroline doesn't understand the gravity of the situation is insane to me. You're meaning to tell me she planned this for months prior to starting it and then continued it for months when she could have stopped at any time and said something. She would have had to think about this multiple times and at no point in her thought process did she think that IN THE MOST BASIC OF TERMS; people really get affected by their own and others pregnancies. Blatant BS'ing from Caroline Kon-artist.

Years ago, i got a cosmopolitain magazine without knowing what it was (i thought it was fashion or something) and i was so disgusted that i threw it in the trash.

this wig looks so good on her it is stunning !!!!

Omg ur mic was like “put me out of my misery, I’ve heard too much” lol If I’m feeling a connection with a creators content, i try to attach that to the content itself and how I feel watching it, and keep the actual person out of it.

Did she just gaslight her situation and actions by saying that she was threatened with S.A in the past? This girl is sinking fast, someone through her a lifeline lol

now this is really just cruel, like going to the lengths of talking about fertility and saying "i want a kid" is just really, really cruel to a lot of people. also, isnt it incoherent to say "some of you are weirdly obsessed with me so to access my personal life you'll have to pay" when thats only something an obsessed person would do?

I thought people doing shitty things and then saying "it was just a social experiment dude" stopped like 10 years ago.

This hair/outfit combo is so good on you

As someone who used to watch all of her videos, I thought this was a bit from the start. Like the timing especially made me think it was a joke and her going too far with the fertility part just really solidified that for me. Thought it was originally made to make fun of Jojo Siwa's weird "pregnancy" thing, which wasn't true. I just never take her seriously, and that's... kind of sad. No one will ever believe her again, if they ever believed her before.

This is so messed up. Why is there no sympathy for women who struggle with fertility. People who make “jokes” like this is so rude. Currently I am 34 weeks along and I am so thankful that I didn’t have to experience this but 2 days ago I went out to a restaurant for my birthday and I got seated next to a woman who looked me up and down, stared at my belly, and just got quiet. Her husband asked her if she wanted to switch seats with him and I could only conclude that she is either struggling to conceive or has lost a baby. Let me tell you, my night was over I cried after they left because I know how I would feel if I were in her position I know how bad my presence hurt her. Yet people like Caroline exist and pretend to struggle or feel the way that these women feel. It just disgusts me

As a Swede I couldn't help but notice that her last name "Konstnär" means "artist" (as in painter, sculptor, performance artist etc) in Swedish. I've no idea if she has any European background but there it is. Just thought I'd mention this.

Ohhh boy. This sounds like some chaos

I absolutely LOVE your shirt so much!!! So wish I could've seen them live.

She thinks she's VERY important.

there’s a difference between miscarriage & still birth (& that’s in the 2nd trimester) ; that was a line that was crossed .

Holy shit i completely forgot about that chick. I kept getting her vids recommended nonstop like 2 years ago.

im so obsessed with the red on you!

I'm waiting for the ukulele

She hasn’t posted anything in a while, I think she just did as a blatant attention grabber

it’s just so weird to me how much effort she put in. throughout that whole process, she didn’t think to herself that it might not be received well? at all???

As a 20 year old who ACTUALLY went through a miscarriage 2 months ago, It really hit home for me, and I think it's incredibly insensitive. Im not necessarily triggered, but it's definitely in very poor taste...

I was too relieved to be angry at Caroline for the trick

I have to say you look so beautiful today, your skin is glowing ! I just love you I know I don’t comment a lot but I’ve watched you forever! I just love your vibe girl! ❤❤❤

It shames me to admit I was briefly subbed to her a few years ago. In hindsight her humor was a hit and miss at best, but even then, her comeback stunt definitely went too far. Honestly, this is the best perspective on this matter. Truly.

A friend of mine got ovarian cancer at 22. She survived it, thankfully, but she can never have children. I thought about her through this whole video. Why did she have to bring in all that about infertility?? Disgusting

I like dark humour but there isn’t a joke in this she’s so far off

At 20 I started working in care and on my first day found out I was pregnant because I nearly fainted at work and had a gut feeling, I decided I wasn’t ready mentally to be a mother, I’m 21 now and am just about over it but I really cannot stand the smug look on her face throughout

She was super smart at the beginning of her YTube career. Can't believe she went here.

how to dispose of any credibility you’ve ever had speedrun

I love watching your content thrive. Your fantastic. Thank you for being grounded and honest and intelligent. Your a breath of fresh air ❤

dude i literally thought to myself “why are they all named caroline??” right as you said there’s always a mess around a caroline 😂😂

You look so beautiful with this hair!!!!!!

You look so good in red & black ❤ A classic combo

This could be a South Park episode

love how she's trying to provide a "logical" explanation for why her blatantly lying about her pregnancy and pushing the blame onto her audience, who of course would believe her if they trust her enough to watch her, as if that doesn't make her sound like more of a psycho than she's making her audience seem to be

The shade at Caroline Calloway in the beginning 🤣

the "joke" is like making a loud noise and then laughing at someone for startling. Like, bud, you were the one piloting the bit. You have responsibility for how you portray yourself to your audience

Really feeling that look! ❤

Love this red hair on you! ❤️‍🔥

Curious question for ppl, but if she had done the same thing except it was on Apr 1st, would it have been in better taste? It's something I have been pondering on.

Really disappointed. I used to watch her skits all the time in high school, never thought she'd stoop this low.Tbh I geniuely thought she was actually pregnant and regardless, I was happy for her. But making jokes about miscarriages is just plain cruel and insensitive, which is a very real and very horrific trauma that many people go through

"viewers tend to become attached to something that isn't real" yeah especially when you lie to them and string them along for months.

Her comedic timing is on point

You look amazing in red hair tho.

Omg i read her name as korn-star 😭

I think she might be straight up admitting to wire fraud. I don't think she realizes this, but she essentially confesses to all the elements of the crime. She says the whole point of the stunt was to drive people to her patreon, under false pretenses. That could mean the first pregnancy video amounts to wire fraud, a serious felony.

Tf did I just read. I can't wait to watch you guide us through the madness!

I used to watch Caroline and she's always had a very dark sense of humor, but this was a step too far. Like, at the very least, she should have just made a second video where the title said the pregnancy video was a prank, not that she lost the baby. That's just gross.

Probably a lot of work, but if you turn the background lights horizontal it would soooo make a difference.

Ok she quoted Louis ck, nvm

Really good analysis on this one Julia, I completely agreed with you! 😊

I love how she pulled this less than a year after i had miscarriage 🥴 i was so sad for her when i saw the second video title because i know how much that pain hurts and i wish it apon no one. But then i saw the video and was baffled by how stupid it was.

She’s kind of reminded me of Emma Chamberlain

I feel like a lot of people supporting her in making this decision don't understand that being self aware doesn't actually excuse you of your actions. There are certainly cases where being self aware of what you are doing certainly can be the difference between whether something is satire or not, but I think faking a miscarriage crosses the line. For most women, having a miscarriage is a traumatic experience that they never fully recover from. Even after "moving on", they grieve for it their whole life, wondering what could have been, similar to how anyone would grieve a lost loved one. Imagine if she leveraged some other traumatic experience like getting assaulted for views, which is sadly something actual KZfaqrs have done before. If your "experiment" is doing the same thing that clickbait KZfaqrs have been shunned for for years, then what are you even trying to communicate? That you can get away with anything as long as you say, "it was just a prank! Haha, I fooled you!" She did an informal social experiment on ethics without ever considering the ethics of the experiment itself.

like girl you're not bo burnham LMFAO
