Controversies[]
Michael has been known for causing massive controversy as of 2022 due to his perverted behavior towards Gabby (alejanartt) having complete ignorance towards sexual boundaries as well as various forms of harassment, manipulation and sexual threats without asking for any form of sexual consent towards Gabby as well as a major fetish towards fat people including Allegedly watching fat porn on a Nintendo Switch and showcasing these desires publicly according to Gabby. In July and August of 2022. Suspicion would arise when a song made about Micheal by Gabby would be deleted from her channel. Later throughout the coming weeks, Gabby would present toxic behaviour online giving threats to multiple Twitter users. Adventually Gabby would leave Twitter for a while before returning in late August with a "apology" document, however her threating behaviour continued even going to a point where she would publicly state she forgave Micheal and would defend him to other users who disapproved of his actions. After investigation is was found Gabby and Micheal never cut ties and have been dating for some time. As a result some have speculated the whole ordeal may have been a publicity stunt organised by Micheal and Gabby as proven by Gabby having done similar stuff before.
