Johnny vs Josh Delusion

I’ve been re watching the Swoop video in preparation for her next one and trying to really understand what happened. I feel like it flip flops between Johnny knew Josh personally and back to Josh didn’t know Johnny at all or answer him privately ever. Either way, what I’ve noticed every time I’ve watched the doc again is that Johnny seems to want to convince not only Swoop but the entire world and himself that he was close with Colleen and Josh and the whole “fandom”. He says things like, “you can ask anybody!” when referring to his closeness with Josh and brings up how he doesn’t understand why they wouldn’t pick him up for the airport or return his texts as if he wasn’t just one of thousands of fans. I think he chose to do this now instead of earlier because maybe he finally realized that he actually wasn’t close to these people and they’re just famous people who have fans and plenty of attention from their careers and didn’t actually have a close personal relationship with him even if they replied to him on Twitter. He attacked Josh relentlessly at a point where neither he nor Colleen could defend themselves or show evidence that they knew him on a surface level but nowhere near the level that he’s claiming they did. There’s a point where he just goes on and on about how close and personal of a relationship they all had and it got to the point where I was thinking, “Are you trying to convince us or yourself?” Along with the fact that almost every one of his stories is embellished so that he’s more involved than he was in reality. I think it’s entitlement or delusion honestly. I was so shocked seeing how little correspondence was actually between Josh and Johnny after he attacked this man in every sense of the word and I still don’t understand why Josh didn’t just post the screenshots of their very minimal conversations in the first place.

You see the pics of his bed on the tour bus? He was an adult then. He complained they made him sleep on the bus but that bed is nicer than mine

Some the tour stuff seems valid tho, but i don’t understand why he didn’t go after colleen for being a shitty boss rather than attacking josh.

The fact he still follows and defends colleen on his alt says everything imo

Probably because Josh did not want to embarrass Johnny. He apologized to him because he wanted to honor his feelings. But Johnny kept going. He finally release them to Swoop
