KEEMSTAR accuses controversial YouTuber Marina Joyce of drug abuse

Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem has gotten into it with controversial YouTuber Marina Joyce, who underwent massive speculation in 2016 for her increasingly disturbing videos.

Joyce uploaded a video on November 2 addressed to her ‘haters,’ where she appeared to admit that she had actually been in danger during the initial scandal surrounding her videos, during which many fans had speculated that she was being abused.

“I was endangered in a lot of different ways, and that was the truth,” she stated. “…I was actually in danger, and I went through a lot of physical pain.”

However, her explanation didn’t quite clear up what had actually happened, and KEEMSTAR took issue with this. He even speculated that Marina is potentially on drugs, as claimed in several Tweets on the matter and even in a statement to Newsweek.

“I suggest that she’s on drugs,” KEEMSTAR said to the outlet. “I don’t think she has a right to be upset with anyone speculating when she won’t provide a reasonable explanation.”

The two have since gone back and forth with one another in a series of Twitter replies, where Marina (or a spokesperson for her) claimed that she is ‘half-blind.’ Marina then went on to explain that she had spent two months in hospitalized care due to this issue, which left her ‘traumatized.’

However, that explanation didn’t satisfy KEEM either, who posted a Google search that queried, “Can drugs make you blind?”

Marina has since insinuated that she intends to sue KEEMSTAR for ‘public disclosure of private facts,’ about which KEEMSTAR appeared to be indifferent.
