We don't know who's lying since the courts never released the custody battle. If this is a conspiracy though, I can't believe the dad would refuse to give a straight answer if he's a good guy but idk maybe he was confused

hi ben, love your videos! they've been a great help. last year, my teacher covered disorders stuff, and i realized my behavior aligns with ADHD. i mentioned it to my mom, but she doesn't really believe in ADHD. now i'm struggling in school. any advice? thanks! =]
wow im early for once :) also this is literally the only podcast i actually like so ye thanks ben
The more you learn about the case the crazier it gets tbh
Hiii ben I love your videos! Also I got some drama: so I have a "best friend" and sometimes she makes me feel bad about myself,and every time we get into fight she acts like it's my fault or acts like she didn't do anything wrong and idk if I should drop her bc she had been my friend for almost 3 years and if I stop being friend w her I will loose most of my friends bc their friends w her anyways what should I do??
I literally spent hours trying to figure out if the queen was dead or not
Here’s my other drama: my guy friend is in a situationship with a girl and they got into a fight and he blamed all of his problems on me, even after I helped him and gave him advice with the fight… It just kind of hurts. I don’t know if I should confront him about it so any advice?

MY DRAMA BEN PLEASE READ THIS!!!: so basically me and my friends went to worlds of fun together and one of our friends got mad bc we "bullied and excluded" her even though she went on every ride with us and literally sat out by herself by her choice and she's still mad (this was like 5 weeks ago) also sorry it's a sentence but it's kinda long
Love you Ben ! ! ❤
The wall behind Ben looks like a mincraft block💀
The first time I heard about this I was shocked and sad because I haven't heard about her for years and you can't really fake that on the internet But then I heard that she was hacked and I was so confused and kinda mad because how can you do that to somebody. Thank you for making this video Ben, I hope lil Tay is ok 😔
My drama: I don’t know what to do because one of my “friends” is always trying to make me feel bad about myself with rude comments, but she is friends with all my other friends and if I cut her off they might side with her. What should I do? P.s. I love your podcast! I always listen to different episodes when I’m painting :)
