Anyways, Famous YouTube star "Zoella" was all over the internet (more so that usual) after people found out that her new book release "Girl Online" which was 2014s best selling book had a ghost-writer.
Zoe Sugg made it clear on her YouTube channel from the beginning that a team of people were helping to create the book alongside her and therefore never lied to her fans like the news stories say so. Could we really expect someone who vlogs her everyday life and creates great make-up and hair tutorial videos to write a book solely on her own? I'm not saying she's not capable but even people who's careers are in writing have ghost writers!! Do news writers feel like it's acceptable to victimise the YouTube sensation just because she's so popular?
Zoella clearly got upset from the uproar about the mysterious ghost-writer and therefore tweeted saying she was "taking a few days out and off the internet because it's clouding up my brain". It was so unfair to persecute Zoe so much like this when her intentions for the book were to help all of her 7 million fans that she has acquired over the years. The book focused on real and serious issues like self-belief, sexuality and online hate. How ironic!
News then broke out the Zoella was apparently quitting YouTube however she made it clear with yet another tweet “I AM NOT QUITTING YOUTUBE. Yet again, twisting stuff to gain views. Sad.”
I don't really understand the problem with the fact that someone tried to help Zoe write such a popular book. Obviously most of her fans were going to buy the book because she's so likeable like the girl next door that's so easy to get to know and like. Obviously I only know her from her videos just like you however it's just so easy to like Zoe, and therefore shouldn't be criticized for actually doing something from a different perspective to reach out and help people!
I'm not someone who knows the ins and outs with all of the fact revolving around "Girl Online" and so even I accept that some of what I have said may be incorrect or possibly hurtful but I hope not as I'm aiming it at Zoe's fans who were upset by this whole story from thinking that Zoe lied to them. Everyone's allowed to have secrets anyway are they not? Even if they're your best friend.
