The user Freelee the banana girl's channel is supposed to be a helpful and scourging site which will encourage people to convert to "high carb veganism". Unfortunately it has been converted into a hateful pit of negativity and blatant bullying. Freelee used profound language and abusive, personal comments in order to voice her opinions on other you-tubers and celebrities. Comments include "you are f###ing disgusting" "stop shovelling food down your throat" among other rude and unprofessional language which is not appropriate to share. Her and her partner are know to have bashed some of the nices people on the internet such As zoella, Tanya burr, blogilates' cassie, the list goes on and on. When "reacting to these videos she often comments on the popularity of the person claiming that they have a "huge influence over young girls" (the fact that she only mentions girls shows that she is also sexist) and many people believe that she targets bigger stars in order to garner more fame attracting their fans to boost her views.

In addition to all of this her diet is apparently life threatening in some cases with a number of people being admitted into hospital as a result. In Freelees diets she demands that you forgo all fat and protein claiming that it is completely unnessiary, even going so far as to claim that dietitians are "ignorant" and "overweight". Coming from someone who is completely untrained and has no professional knowledge what so ever this is a profound and rediculous statement.

Freelee has built up a large gathering of what she calls her "fruit bats" who often follow her advice religiously and going onto other people's videos and in extreme cases making rediculous comments like " there's no difference between rape and eating cheese" and "omg lets kill and slice up your father and put it in a smiley face" which are all as a result of Freelee's influence. I think anyone can agree that this woman cannot be aloud to have any sort of influence over anyone.

Another thing is the circling rumours that Freelee has sent death threats to those who disagree with her beliefs and many screenshots can be found all over the Internet.

While yes Freelee's diet obviously works for her it does not give her the right to bully others into thinking the same way to the point where she says that restricting your calories even a little bit is constituted as an eating disorder. This is frankly unacceptable behaviour for any member of society and I am pretty sure harassing people is against YouTube's code of conduct meaning that Freelee should have had her account terminated long ago before she could do so much damage

I really thought this might just disappear into the void but seeing it pick up this much actual momentum is just wild. It is honestly relieving to know so many other people feel the exact same way about the bullying and the dangerous health misinformation because I have been feeling like I am taking crazy pills watching those videos.

We are getting so close to a hundred signatures which is honestly more than I thought would happen when I started typing this out in a fit of rage after seeing yet another awful video. If everyone reading this just grabs one person who knows how toxic her content has become we can hit that mark before I even have time to finish my coffee and actually start tagging the platform support accounts.

She is encouraging young viewers to undergo a diet that is high in fruits and potatoes. Nothing else, thus encouraging the development of malnutrition and eating disorders. Moreover, she encourages bullying of other YouTuber which is not ideal for the current society we live in. She is toxic.

I considered going vegan once but then I came across her.. I was so disgusted by her personality that I cringed at the fact of becoming vegan. If she spread her message in a healthy and mature way my view on her would be so different.

I feel like freely should get banned from YouTube because of her bullying and makes false copyright claims and also falsely accusing other YouTubers and getting their YouTube channels deleted such as Vegan cheetah's channel

Freelee and her diet diet with no substance in science has hurt people's metabolism and sent some to the hospital. I'm afraid for 16 year old Julia Boer who has followed Freelee's diet and actually gained weight, she is now a borderline diabetic.

Please take this bully off you-tube. She lies, slanders others, she gives dangerous advice, she stirs controversy and attacks others to get views and you let her get away with it. She cries to you and you take down channels on her say so. Please get rid of this menace.

Freelee is an internet bully. Has threatened me personally with violence from her boyfriend. She is maliciously filing false copyright claims against good people who have spoken up against her bullying. She maliciously goes after channels and instructs her followers to go and bully them.

Freelee is a toxic person on YouTube who bullies people. She’s right being vegan is very good for you, great for the planet and more humane towards animals. However she encourages false information such as only eating fruit (fruit is good for you but too much of anything can make you sick) and has caused multiple eating disorders. She constantly ignores dieticians and nutrionists advice on how eat a healthy vegan diet. She needs to be banned from YouTube because she is causing so much harm to impressionable people. Plus she’s a bully who literally comments on people’s looks when she reviews their what I eat in a day videos (when is she isn’t even nearly qualified to do so).
