Happy Early Valentines Day and yet another shitty vlog channel. Each one that I talk about gets gradually more worse as time goes on even the supposed good ones. I've talked about several terrible vlog type channels in the past like Zoe Lavern, Guava Juice, Valkyrae, Brooke Houts, Saucy & Honey, TheAceFamily and the list goes on. Many of them have done so many terrible things like the rest of them and it's no exception. Well, we have another one of 'those' vlog channels and for this we have Art Van Grow; a YouTube vlogger that would travel and explore places around the US but with one simple fuckup ruined her credibility for being racist and homophobic at a Home Depot.
Art Van Grow (also known as Amanda Marie Keshner) started her account on March 21, 2016, but the channel remained inactive for 2 years until May 10, 2018, when she uploaded her first video about a camper conversion. Amanda's video upload would begin but wasn't really all that active much. Her content revolves around Traveling/Adventure and Tiny Home Builds. At the time when she started, she was considered to be the lowest in subscriber count and in view count only gaining several hundred to several thousand views per video. One of her most popular yet most viewed video was a Van Tour video.
The Major Fall:
The Racist/Homophobic Home Depot Incident:
It's always so fascinating to find such delusional pieces of shit on the internet and with Amanda it's no exception showing her true corrupted color. This situation happened around July/August of 2022 when Amanda goes to Home Depot to buy something and got furious at two employees of the store because she wanted an 'Influencer Discount.' Thats right an 'Influencer Discount' because apparently, she's "a famous person" which doesn't exist and is just as stupid as people remembered it being. Then she becomes a racist and very homophobic lashing out at one of the employees telling them to 'go back to your country.' The video shown above is the video from her (now privated) instagram account and right after that, there were several news articles as well as people lashing out on social media.
Right after the drama, she started to get hateful emails and death threats towards her. Yes, we get it we hate this person, but death threats are over the line. It got so bad to the point where she took to Facebook to post a TL;DR message which reads:
"SERIOUS QUESTION... What the efffff do y'all do for a living ?? How the eff do you have THIS much free time on your hands? I think y'all need a new hobby. Internet trolling doesn't look cute on you. Y'all saw the aftermath of 2 men harassing me for several minutes prior to the clip I submitted. The full video is in evidence. Wanna hear the funniest thing about this all... all your INFORMATION IS ATTACHED TO YOUR SUBMISSIONS AND EMAILS. Edumacate yourselves please & thanks. Also, I just gave the deputies in Washington a long lost of dipships to target now. Y'all choose with your free will to harass me. I will defend myself by using my voice and working with the deputies to stop this harassment.
You crazy fxcks are CALLING MY MOM like seriously you low lives... I stand by what I said to the men after they were done harassing me while on 6 self-checkout cameras. Hansen was rude AF he said some smart-ass remark that if he was in NYC he would have gotten his ass whipped by some guido... just saying 🤷 however instead, he triggered my severe PTSD and INSTEAD I responded with "if you're not going to treat people with respect go back to your fucking country" Yep Guilty as charged! I said THAT! Right after being harassed and escorted out for no reason. Hansen didn't want to get chewed out by corporate whom was on the phonebefore I got in the store. I stand by my statement. If your going to travel to ANY country, have some respect for the people there. Also Jamie didn't HAVE to get involved and harass me. I thought he was going to hit me. As a victim to abuse by men for many many years, that triggered my severe PTSD even more. That was completely uncalled for.
I get it, he was triggered his buddie Hansen was told to go back to his own country for being rude to a paying customer. But calling me a c.u.n.t is technically sexual harassment. Not to mention while in uniform. Also c.u.n.t is another trigger word for me as both Phil Gorman and Mike Edmondson, two past rapist and abusers of mine, used to call me. I want to add that the entire store and employees watched two grown men nearly hit me while harassing me and everyone WATCHED like little COWARDS. Some "Men" and "Women" you are. If he hit me and I was dying on the floor would you watch too? Or just play dumb when you go down for being part of THIS all. Either way, everyone harassing me, I have ALOT of spiritual protection. Your words will come back to YOU times ten.
Also, while your stalking my socials, you might want to brush up on whom is in my inner circles and if you choose not to back off & continue to harass me, prepare for your consequences as my phone is havily monitored anyways 🤣🤷 When men stop harassing women, I'll be more mindful about not offending men. The End"
There's so much to talk about here but I've highlighted some details on what's completely wrong with the statements she's saying in her post. Getting so many emails all over the place and reporting it to state deputies, they're probably going to look at a few of them let alone roughly 2000 emails and that's probably it. One thing that threw this off is the PTSD statement. If she had it, she wouldn't be talking like this or writing this long ass essay about the situation and also the fact that she's just being flat-out racist at the same time. Also, the word cunt isn't sexual harassment.
Home Depot's Response / The Aftermath:
The reason that I made this post about her is that it has a twist. Since the video had surfaced all over YouTube and various Social Media platforms, the video was featured on a channel called 'Karens In The Wild.' The video blew up there to the point where the Home Depot's YouTube channel wrote a comment under that featured video (screenshot shown above). They also responded on Twitter saying that the associates were never fired to begin with.
Other than the response from Home Depot, how was the aftermath? Well, she had released a bullshit apology (video shown above) on October 13, 2022. At the time I'm making this post, the video has 82 likes to 263 dislikes. Roughly 2 months later, she posts a statement on that video (screenshot shown above) which is just as pathetic as her actions. Needless to say, she killed her 'career' at an instant.
