I used to watch SSG all the time as a kid. I had no idea how creepy the creator was. In fact, I thought all of you girls were the creators of that channel. I thought it was a channel made by a group of friends for fun. It's scary to know the truth behind it and the fact that many fans wanted to be on that channel. I was shocked to the core when I first learned the truth behind it and I'm sorry it happened to all of you. I'm glad you're okay now.
Exactly same, I wanted to be on it even tho I was a boy. But even then I always thought that it was a group of friends from all over the world that came together one day and decided to post and create the channel. I honestly thought you girls created the channel, but now hearing it was 50 year old man is so creepy and scary is all sorts of red flags. 😨
I thought the same I use to watch it and I thought it was a channel made by friends I only just found this channel idk what’s it about tho but I didn’t think ssg was like that
same! when the whole story came out to the spotlight, i didnt have any words and still dont. Im glad that kaelyn and the others dont have to suffer through that and telling their story so people know.
It is, just hearing a “54 year old man” for what was a channel filled with young is a red flag right there. It just disgusts me any of the girls had to go through this behind the camera.
ssg was my childhood & i was bummed when you left but im so glad that you left because that’s just ridiculous that you & probably most of the ssg girls had to deal with that 😭 im thankful for all the memories i got from that channel but im so glad that channel is over with & that you guys are just living your best lives without having to worry abt who you take a picture with for starters
+dingdong1223 I do remember early on in a completely different video and idk if it was Kaelyn or some other girl from the channel talking about 1 of their very 1st trips they took. Idk remember if it was her 1st time meeting a certain man, but I think she said how the guy they were with made all the girls feel weird or it was something along the lines of that. I think it was a meet and greet and i don't remember if it was 1 in FL or not. I just remember it was 1 of their meet & greet's somewhere and I thought the video was on Kaelyn's channel (but it'd be pretty far down I believe).
+PearlFirexx Honestly, the creator of the channels should have *Expected* that to happen from the fans of the channels. It's the fans wanting mixed groups imo tbh & maybe there was a possibility that he could have been outnumbered in how many of the girls wanted to collab videos as well for their fans specifically as well. It wouldn't surprise me if he got outnumbered there & had no choice, but to "buckle down" if he wanted to keep his channels up and running. Even when those channels got shutdown for good reason; it was nice to see everyone outside of that era even if they hadn't quite known everyone from each channel created. Honestly, it would have been nice to have seen the SAK channel mixed in w/the SPA & SSG channels though. We only saw SPA & SSG collabs. The other combo could have been mixing say SFG with SGG + another group that may have been created that I don't remember. SFG: Seven Funtastic Girls and SGG: Seven Gymnastics Girls. Apart from SAK, how did no one think to catch on to the last letter in Each channel relaying it to hmm: Girls like girls only? Given I didn't have a proper maturity level at 17-18 yrs. old, but if I did, I would have caught onto that so quick & that would have been so creepy to me. I think SAK was originally meant for Both boys and girls, but for the rest of the names = a bit sketchy when I think back on it tbh.
When that channel was at its peak I truly had no idea that it was being run by some creepy old man. When I was little, I truly thought that it was only being run by the seven girls. As much as I wish I could see some of those videos again (most of them were Kaelyn's videos), I lowkey don't want to at the same time because the memories are tainted after knowing what that creep did to those girls.
I thought it was run by a friendly older lady that held auditions for girls and picked 7 of the funniest ones wand they all had fun and good times together.
“Sorry if I ruined your childhood” Nah if anything, you only told the truth about ssg, the creep running the channel was the one that ruined my childhood
Now it makes sense why some of our favorite girls from SSG left. I was a huge fan of SSG and one point I wanted to be part of the SAKs channel when I was a kid. This video made me think back to my childhood, an innocent 7yo with a short-lived dream. This made me think back to a new SSG member’s introduction video, and I remember her time on SSG was very short-lived out of all the other girls. I think her name name was Elena or Eliana or something. Or I could be wrong.
Yeah there was an Ellie. There was also a Katheryn or Kathryn, who actually left but then came back, and it was later suggested that she came back so her sister wouldn't get booted off the channel because apparently the owner had threatened to do so since she and her sister were the only time in SAK network history that two people were allowed to share a channel and he bullied her into coming back by claiming that contractually her and the sis were a package deal. real piece of shit.
Ah this does kinda ruined my childhood, because i never knew it was created by another person, thought it was just a group of friends having fun and made a channel with the support of their parents...such a creepy old guy.
I was on the smaller SAKs channels and I mainly had contact with he assistant girl manager, but the few times the manager (old man) sent stuff out it was a bit strange looking back. Something I see no one talk about is the huge security leak where a stalker found nearly all the girls on the channels addresses and sent explicit mail. That was terrifying for 13 year old me
I remember the security leak and I wish more people spoke about it as it seemed to affect people even off of the SAKS. I only remember a few of the SED and SFG girls talk about it, and Kaelyn talked about it in a Q&A video a while back. It’s a scary situation, but luckily the man behind the mail is no longer alive.
@@FriedaLeahx He ended up getting caught quickly for all of the mail he sent to a bunch of minors, so there was a police standoff at his home where he ended up just committing “sewer slide” is what we found out.
omgg SevenSuperGirls was my whole childhood!!! I was so young that i fairly remember what the videos were about! sorry this happed to you and the other girls on the channel i wish you and your family the best!
when i first started watching SSG i had no clue that the creator was an old creepy man. i thought you guys just created it yourselves. its really heartbreaking to know the real truth. im sorry you and the rest of the girls had to go through that i cant imagine how traumatic that must've been. i hope you guys are doing better, it definitely seems like it. much love to you and the other girls
It's so weird but I remember you posting a vid I believe on this channel a few years earlier about how you weren't really affected in any real negative way on Sever Super Girls. Was that just something you said, or is this the truth and didn't feel comfortable with sharing it sooner? Hope all is well tho!
Yeah I remember that, she said she didn’t really have a bad experience and that she enjoyed it a lot. I think she might have felt awkward and still under control back then vs now
it could just be that she was the “favorite”, cause she brought in the most views/was the profile. probably still had negative or scaring moments but in a way that was different from the rest of the girls.
@@MysticOceanDollies well that's true. Until you find out it's not, and that feeling bad and traumatized were actually valid reactions. I get it. And it this situation, that* would make sense. Just thought she'd at least say that. But then again, ADHDers can be very spontaneous and unorganized in that way. I get that. This video is still rather random and very spontaneous, but anyway...
@@fictionallyattached true, but it doesn't explain how random this was. First I heard about the girl who dealt with that weird situation with the clothes and the old guy alone with her, then we hear Kaelyn speak out about it, saying all was well. And then randomly, an almost two minute video ranting oddly on about some weird memory she had back when she was a child on the channel with no real explanation whatsoever? Idk, I don't make sense of it, I just hope all is well, and that everyone from the channel I grew up watching are living happy, fulfilling lives.
I just found ur channel I watch them when I was younger but I didn’t know it was like that I thought all of the girls made the channel together I didn’t think it was made by some old man
I remember Brianna I think her name was said that if they broke the contract they’d have to pay like $1000 and I doubt the dude told the parents what he was doing most pervs hide it from authority figures
What’s even crazy for me is that I wanted to be part of the channel and I was trying to find ways to be part of it but it never happened and now learning the truth behind the channel, just leaves me in a corner blankly staring at a white wall
You, Katheryn and Rachel, and Jazzy were LITERALLY my childhood, that is honestly so fucked up that a creepy old ass man had to pick who your friend was, and the fact that you COULD NOT BE SEEN WITH ANYONE ELSE?!?! That bullshit aside, I hope your are doing better or just as fine as you were back in the old SSG days, and just say that I'm so glad that you are not being manipulated and managed by some creepy ass mother fucker anymore.
wow honestly this did not ruin my childhood, it just helped me to get ready for the worst in life... that dude is a total creep. hope everyone's okay now... and not left in extreme trauma or anything
What did your parents think? A grown man owning a channel where preteen and teen girls are the stars? And ASSIGNING BEST FRIENDS!? 0_0 Why did your parents allow this? how come no one fought back. also I'm assuming this guy had some weird kinks if he was making young girls fight against each other. He reminds me a lot of that Dan Schnieder guy who ran a lot of Nickelodeon sitcoms (He ran the weird ones like iCarly and Victorious, NOT the good ones like Big time Rush) and it took nearly 20 years for an actress to finally speak out! Also, the kids who watched SevenSuperGirls and SevenAwesomeKids were able help you guys easier than the tv actors/actresses. Like, I'm sure a lot of the kids who watched the RU-vid channels todl parents and could easily speak out in the comments if they knew what was going on, but we were all impressionable 10 year olds and had no idea what was happening behind the scenes. I always assumed the channel was ran by the girls themselves, or their parents.
I’m wondering why the parents didn’t step in too because from what she said the parents knew what was going on and even though that horrible man was the one who did those things the parents must be held responsible too for letting their daughters have to deal with that. Now idk if they had some sort of contact but I feel like the parents should’ve done a lot more
Sounds like he was triangulating the girls against each other to control communication. He also used threats and fear as a form of control. I’m surprised all the girls didn’t end up with some sort of PTSD from being on that channel and treated that way at such a young age. He’s a sick, sick man.
i think you were my gay awakening --------------------- i’m aware this is entirely like off topic but i was just thinking about little me and sevensupergirls anyway..
I remember literally wanting to sign up to become a ssg and be friends with all of u at like 12 years old. Honestly the manipulation tactics u speak of reminds me of the kpop industry.
that is just so ridiculous :( im so sorry you had to deal with that. please make this a series and spill it all cuz i was such a huge fan of ssg and i can’t believe this is what happened behind the scenes. also always found the fact that every single one of you (except like katherine and rachel) wore skirts in every video sounds like he had something to do with that too
@@brennathecatlover4360 oh no no of course not me neither cuz you and i aren’t pedophiles unlike him. one of the other ssg girls mentioned how he insisted they wear mini skater skirts or something. its weird he even controlled what they had to wear is all i meant.
The more i learn about what was going on behind the camera, the more this sounds like how kpop groups get treated, qnd they get treated really really badly. Glad things are better for everyone from these channels now.
I'm so sorry you had to put with all that though on the other hand I'm glad your living your best life now and thanks for sharing everything about ssg 💗💗
Saying that now, it’s actually starting to make me wonder if Mimi and Ellie from the SSG are really good friends because they did look like two best friends
There really is no such thing as a good authoritarian. Unfortunately, they seem to exist in many places and need to be held to account. You should be allowed to be heard.
I can't comprehend how a parent would let themselves and their children be controlled or even subject them to doing this i could never cause boy istg i would bitchslap someone if they tried and I'm not someone that throws hands ever
Bro this reminds me of Elvis and the Colonel tbh. A very 'manager' based relationship. And yeah, bro, this was some hardcore childhood ruiners lmaooo 😂😂😂
My favourite is Darth Maul and the Sith lord from Starwars but i also like jedies. Twilek as well but i don't know now.. kind of don't like their men. Then also Darth Vader is pretty good too to some degree at least as Anakin.
I used to watch those videos all the time and I used to really wanna be apart of the group but now hearing about everything that’s happened Im happy I wasn’t
I used to be a big fan of sevensupergirls years ago when I was a lot younger. Kaelyn, Katherine and Rachel were my absolute favorite ones. It's sad to hear what you and the other girls had to go through, but not surprising in the least which is unfortunate. 😔
The seven super girls were my childhood mann, it's really disappointing that someone would put something so innocent and fun out there and in reality have it nothing like the content. Creepy dude for wanting to be involved with girls so heavily like this.
Can you please give us input on what the parent’s perspective was on this. I’m not blaming them but surely at least one of them had to be like, somethings not right here.
Brianna said if they broke contracts they had to pay like 1k and he probably didn’t tell them what he was doing the field couldn’t make sense of what happened at the time either
@@brennathecatlover4360by what kaelyn said her mom knew what was going on because he spoke to her mom and kaelyn and the other girls probably spoke to their parents about it. Also I doubt money was the issue if it was only 1k because these girls lived in huge houses, had expensive things and were earning money off the videos too
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. He was so controlling. I would have been a better manger. Who scream and threatened children. Female children at this point.
Woahhhh, I completely forgot about SSG until I found this video. A lot of my childhood shows/channels are sort of ruined because of weirdos like that I love your hair btw it's so pretty!
I remember watching you guys at a super young age. You guys were probably ont of the first channels I'd found on RU-vid when I was around 8 or 9. I was figuring the channel itself had disbanded by now, especially with all the conversations around kids being in vlog channels from a young age. Still glad you're going strong!! I remember you being my favorite of the group ❤❤ sending love
Oh my gosh.. I forgot 7SuperGirls even existed 😭😭😭 It's what got me into skits, acting and script writing... It really is nice to hear from the former members and hear their perspectives..
