Looking back, Jenna admitted, "It's not cool. It's not cute. It's not okay. Marbles couldn't hide from her old choices, and new that honesty was the only way forward. I want to hold myself accountable, and it's painful to do it. I'm ashamed of things I've done and said in my past. But, it's important," she shared. Jenna felt a great deal of shame. In the wake of her apology video, she also announced that her Twitch account would also be going off the air.

It was clear that Jenna needed her supporters - and critics - to know that she realized the consequences of her actions. And after uploading the minute-long video, Marbles removed herself from the equation before "Cancel Culture" had a chance to do it. The term refers to public figures losing their status over past controversies. Some commenters supported the cancel culture, writing, "Hold social influencers accountable Do not let people get away with problematic things just because they're famous or rich.

One user commended her for "purging" her "toxic" past. Come July, Julien shocked fans by coming back to his and Jenna's shared Twitch account. But, speaking for both him and Jenna, he wanted to make it clear that the account would only run under his name from now on, as Jenna was still hiding from the limelight. The name was switched from "JennaJulien" to "Julien. The duo's crew of supporters shared their love, and Julien wrote back: "I feel so lucky to have had the experiences over the past nearly 6 years on twitch.

It's incredibly bittersweet knowing I'll never go live under that name again. I will forever cherish these memories. Thank u so much for being a part of them. By now, Jenna had wiped her face from all her platforms including social media, Twitch, and of course, YouTube. In her final episode, Jenna shared a message with the listeners: "Maybe someday in the future Julien and I can do something else.

The last segment of the famous podcast ended with Jenna's final thoughts. But, just the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to anyone who has ever listened to our podcast," she said. Jenna went on to promise fans she was working on growing from the whole experience. At the time of this article's publication, Jenna's final YouTube upload from June stands at 4. And despite no recent activity from the Mourey, fans continue to write in the comments section.

Candace Orenge, a fellow YouTuber shared her own words: "Even though I didn't want you to leave, I'm glad you did because your own well-being is more important than entertaining a bunch of strangers. Love you, Jenna, just know that you're well-loved.

Ever since saying goodbye to her huge following, it felt as though no one had heard of Jenna up until February of Her longtime boyfriend revealed on his Twitch stream that he had promised to Jenna after eight years of being together. Julien's excitement reminded fans of the old days of the duo on YouTube. So, we are engaged," Julien shared. One Twitch user asked what inspired him to pop the question, Solomita answered, "I just woke up and wanted to be married to her.

Solomita still keeps up his active social media platforms, but Jenna has still maintained her radio silence. But to loyal fans, even seeing Julien's day-to-day life brings some peace of mind. But many are still holding out for the date that Jenna can overcome the controversy and return to the internet kingdom she once ruled. But whether she chooses to return or not, most loyal fans just wish nothing but the best for the adorable couple, that will most likely have a wedding as kooky as them.

Even after a year of total silence, loyal Jenna Marbles lovers still hit up Jenna's feeds to share their kind words, in addition to begging her to return. You're probably in such a healthier place right now! Hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself," one comment read. In fact, on Instagram, followers are still commenting on Jenna's last post she made for Julien's birthday back in the Spring of There are Jenna supporters all over who are hoping for the day that their fave YouTuber will return to their screens.

However, in the meantime, they have the next best thing: Looking back at her previous content timeline of successes that happened over her 10 years in the biz - Everything leading up to the controversial clip. After the video in question came under fire, some looked at Jenna's whole channel and only saw the bad. But there were many fans who chose to focus on the many positives of Jenna's career. And even after a year of silence, there was still a lot to celebrate from the Marbles dynasty.

Diving back to , Jenna's video-making skills were making her a household name in America and beyond. Her talents were undeniable, and she was approached with the chance of a lifetime: Jenna got to become an Executive Director! Mourey enthusiastically signed on to the project.

Jenna was part of the production team for the film Maximum Ride - a sci-fi film inspired by the James Patterson books. And as luck had it, Jenna had a real knack for working behind the scenes. From bartending to producing Hollywood films, it was clear that whatever Jenna touched turned to gold. By the following year, it felt like she had all of YouTube wrapped around her finger.

And the Shorty Awards agreed! That year, Jenna took home a title at the 9th Annual ceremony. But that wasn't the only prize coming home that night. Julien also scored big, and he was awarded the Vlogger of the Year at the same ceremony.

These two were at the top of their craft, but Jenna's successes weren't over yet Over the years that fans grew to know and love Jenna Marbles, viewers became acquainted with the vlogger's four pups, who often popped in the videos. The first two were Mr. Marbles and Kermit, the two pooches behind the name of Jenna's venture.

There were also Peach and Bunny who joined the family later. Jenna's love for dogs was the ultimate inspiration behind her brand of dog toys.

And following the launch, Mourey saw enormous success from sales all across the United States! Despite the cash flow, sales came to a halt after Jenna departed from YouTube and her other platforms. The connection between her dog toy line and the Nicki Minaj video was arguably minimal, but Jenna called it quits regardless. In her eyes, in order to be fully accountable for her past mistakes, she had to prioritize her personal growth and well-being. Luckily, she has her future hubby to help her get through it all.

No matter how many fans tried to remind Jenna of the positive impact she made in her career, it seemed as though Mourey couldn't stop beating herself up over the haunting video. But many commended Jenna for sticking to her word and taking the time to learn from her mistakes. And one quote from Jenna summed the whole thing up. This article made me so sad. I watch her videos almost every day.

The people who are hurt by racist content are the people of color they are aimed at. As an unaffected party of course white people can appreciate her apology but it is not your offense to forgive. That is not to say I a woman of color do not forgive her as I do and would love if she were to return to YouTube. It was obvious Jenna had grown as both a person and a content creator since she first began posting and I will forever be sad she felt she was unable to continue her channel though I understand the sentiment.

I hope she is living her best life and will be picking out costumes for her dogs for this Halloween. Can I get a hell yeah?? Landy Sep 30, at pm. Truly Jenna was one of a kind. This statement just shows how soft the internet has become.

And no, not saying those jokes were fine then, but it was a different time. And to show exponential growth and still be cancelled? Cancel those who are truly horrible people. Put effort into those. And quit being sensitive and offended for others.

Jaanraabinsen Sep 30, at am. All I know is she made me smile during very dark times. Minor mistakes in a video-comedic career that was altogether brilliant. Rebecca Sep 30, at am. Annabelle Sep 29, at pm. This article is confusing. While Jenna is applauded for showing remorse and taking accountability by banishing herself from the internet, it reads as if that is the only way to do it.

People make mistakes, they apologize, and they only grow when they keep up the promises made. Jenna is sorely missed, but the tone I am getting from this is that if she does come back she is no longer the pinnacle of martyrdom for her accountability, and labled as just another Shane Dawson or Logan Paul or Pewdiepie, before she has a chance to allow us to forgive her. Sarah F Sep 29, at pm.

Very well done article. Her love of laughing and sharing what makes her happy was and is very inspiring to me. You can tell in her videos that she genuinely does want to do things the right way like taking care of Ad, the hamster. She wants to help people.

I hope she comes back and that her presence does do more good than harm. Thank you for saying what we as the community feel.

Jessica Sep 29, at am. This is the beautifully written version of how we should feel. She has only ever set out to make people laugh and make them feel like they had a friend and you could see the hurt and pain she had when she realized the full scope of things, the unintentional harm she had caused.

Leah Barlass Sep 29, at am. Such a good article! I find myself rewatching her content as well and hate the thought of never seeing anything new. But at the same time I am grateful for all the content she left behind for us to reminisce to and hope that she has found 10 fold the happiness she has sent out into this world via youtube!!

KLynn Sep 29, at am. What does your skin color have anything to do with forgiving someone for something they are apologizing for? Dressing her dogs up for Halloween, someone is offended by the holiday or by dogs in clothes.

Taking the dogs for a walk, someone is offended by how they made fun of Marbles. Maybe this protected generation that got participation trophies and safe spaces needs to grow up. Paige Ruskaup Sep 29, at am. Cancel culture is a problem. There are so many other people on the internet that are doing way worse videos.

Jenna Marbles was a blessing and a way to get away for even 15 minutes. All of they people that contributed to her canceling should know that they hurt a very sweet and innocent genuine person. If you want change go after the ones that need to change. Picking on innocent people makes you less credible. Katie Sep 29, at am. My late brother sent me one of her videos in while I was pregnant. And I was instantly hooked. I, too, feel like we watched her mature into a lovely person and admire her empathy and integrity.

But I sure do miss her. I wish there was another platform for her to reemerge. Tara Sep 29, at am. The makeup tutorials were meant to be a joke. And they were hilarious. By the time Jenna felt that it was necessary to apologize for her old content, she had already grown in maturity and responsible content.

Incase anyone took notice, Jenna started wearing less makeup as time passed, and we still love her just as much. I feel that our world has become overly sensitive since the introduction of the internet. Jabraun Sep 29, at am. This showed up on my Google news feed and i could not agree more. As a fellow Virgo, i miss Jenna like i would miss my best friend if i lost her. I hope she finds a way to come back; and i hope cancel culture leaves her alone when she does because i love her and my mental health misses watching her videos every week as solice.

Sobbing now Sep 28, at pm. I remember loving her and Max together her doing his makeup was one of my favorite videos they did and being completely devastated when they broke up. Alright, that was probably a little too dramatic, but she really was a big part of my late teens and 20s.

I want her to come back because she wants it. Lindsey Sep 28, at pm. Whether it was her giving herself a new face or filming her dog whenever he cried or was nasty, it always gave me the best feeling just to watch her do what she wanted. Shannon Sep 28, at pm. Jenna brought a lot of joy, introspection, and just zero fucks into the world. I miss her personality, the embodiment of being weird and laughing at yourself. She was a really great role model that showed growth and acceptance.

I miss it. Kate Sep 28, at pm. It blows my mind how everyone gets offended over literally everything. Jenna was a good one. She got drunk to do the demonstration, she told ABC News. Another features her junk food confessions.

Many of her videos are filled with profanity. Asked what it was like to see her video views rise so dramatically, Mourey, of Santa Monica, Calif. She posted her first YouTube video in She made it one night while she was getting ready to go to work as a go-go dancer.
