Carter Reynolds Social Media Scandal

In the month of October, Carter Reynolds, 19, the popular vine star, had a NSFW video stolen and leaked from his YouNow account. In this video, he is with the social media star, Maggie Lindemann, 16, (who is quite obviously intoxicated) and is trying to get her to have sex with him.
In this video, she repetitively tells him that she "feels uncomfortable" and "don't think she can," and he just laughs at her.
After getting lost of publicity, Carter ranted on YouNow about Maggie's past sexual life, that was none of his business, or anyone else's. In this video he states that Lindemann "owes him respect" because he "made her", implying that her popularity came from him, and that he gave her it. Towards the end of the video, he receives a text from Maggie, informing him that the cops were on their way. He then receives a call, and muted his fans, and begins to cry. He ends the YouNow by saying he "heard something he didn't want to hear" and closes the video.
On July 19, Maggie Lindemann overdosed due to her pressure from Carter. Carter then tweets:
But later tweets:




He is then found tweeting to get pity, and even goes as far to say he wants to kill himself:


That night in a YouNow, his friend Taylor Caniff reports that he went to Carter's home and found his cooking dinner, unaffected and completely fine.

Many social media stars such as @lexi4prez and @orionnichole have been tweeting about how wrong Carter is. Many fans of Carter are also saying that what Carter did was a "mistake" but I would lie to say that when you make a mistake, you also have to pay for them or make up for them.
He is later caught trying to get his fans to send him nudes and threatening to unfollow them if they don't do what he says.


If you are a fan of Carter Reynolds, I have nothing against you, except I have everything against Carter Reynolds himself. A person should never feel like he/she has to do something for another person. NO ONE should feel bad for their choices in life and should definitely not be made fun of for it. People who are supporting Carter on this are in the wrong, as much as Carter is. Many of Reynolds' fans have even gone to say that he has done nothing wrong and that it is all Maggie's fault. If you are a fan of Carter Reynold's, that is okay. But it is time to move on.
