Introduction: Cory Kenchin Allegations
The video begins by addressing the allegations against YouTuber Cory Kenchin, which have recently surfaced on social media. The content creator, Panda Ninja XX official, posted a series of TikTok slideshows titled "The truth about your favourite YouTuber," detailing her experiences in a relationship with Cory. These posts include content warnings for emotional and mental abuse, manipulation, narcissistic behaviour, lovebombing, gaslighting, illness-related trauma, emotional abandonment, and status-fuelled cruelty. The presenter notes the extensive list of accusations and prepares to examine the claims.
Part 1: Initial Allegations and Reactions
The ex-girlfriend claims that Cory hid her from the world during their relationship and questions his sincerity, suggesting he acts differently in private. She says that Cory met her when she was at her lowest and made her feel important, but later emotionally abused and abandoned her when she needed him most. She also alleges that he cheated on her in public with another girl, who he claimed was his sister, after which he stopped talking to her. The presenter initially views this first post as relatively mild, suggesting that while Cory may have led her on, the claims don't seem criminal or particularly immoral.
Part 2: Text Messages and Cancer Diagnosis
Part two of the TikTok series reveals text messages between Cory and his ex-girlfriend, showing Cory attempting to reconnect after a period of no contact. The ex-girlfriend claims that Cory's attempt to reconnect was manipulative and that he used her past trauma against her. She also shares that she was diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic and felt alone. She includes a text from Cory that reads, "that was the most passive aggressive cancer reveal ever," without providing any context. The presenter argues that without additional context, it's difficult to judge the meaning or intent behind the message. She also criticises the ex-girlfriend for bringing Cory's mother, who also experienced cancer, into the situation.
Part 3: Further Claims and TikTok Trends
In part three, the ex-girlfriend claims that Cory uses women and avoids commitment. She shares a video of them walking together, implying that Cory never cared for her and only wanted to see how much she would endure. The presenter acknowledges that Cory's comments in the video about watching her sleep were strange. The presenter then plays a clip of the ex-girlfriend on TikTok Live, where she admits that she was laughing with Cory in the video and that it was a "nice moment". The presenter also points out that the ex-girlfriend posted a video capitalising on a TikTok trend, suggesting that she may be seeking clout or revenge.
Analysis and Conclusion
The presenter concludes that Cory may have been "playing the field" and that while some women may have wanted something more serious, he didn't do anything illegal. The presenter quotes the ex-girlfriend admitting that the alleged assault she referred to happened with someone else when she was younger and had nothing to do with Cory. The presenter argues that the messages and claims seem out of context or blown out of proportion. The presenter believes that Cory's actions don't warrant the level of outrage they have received and questions whether he should be "cancelled". The presenter asks viewers to share their opinions on the situation and whether it changes their perception of Cory. The presenter suggests that ghosting is a common part of modern dating, even if it is wrong.
