Shane Dawson returns with 1 hour documentary interview with Eugenia Cooney about her eating disorder

Yesterday Youtube documentary maker and generally good guy Shane Dawson returned to the site after a 5 month absence from posting any videos on his channel.

The video maker presented a 1 hour documentary discussing the saga around fellow Youtuber Eugenia Cooney and her battle with her eating disorder.
Here he discussed the nature of her battle and then interviewed her at her house. Overall the documentary is very well made and tasteful throughout, as Dawson appears genuinely concerned for his friend whilst providing an insight into her condition. This allows Cooney to open up and show what she went through over the years of her battle.

Perhaps the saddest part of the documentary is the highlighting of online trolling which was a daily thing for Cooney to endure, where she would constantly get abusive comments in her videos based around her eating disorder; many of the comments recommending her to die etc.

However, overall the documentary has a positive and wholesome message that Cooney is now doing much better after a stint in rehab and is in a more positive mental and physical place.
On another note, it is nice to see a friendly story on Youtube for a change, at a time where drama often means easy views whereas this video clearly has a lot of thought and sincerity gone into it which helps raise awareness of the sensitive issue. Here's to Shane Dawson who once again has shown himself as an upstanding man and hopefully he continues to do so with similar videos in the future.

Eugenia Cooney is back with a new image.


A few months ago we did a piece on Youtube star Eugenia Cooney and the concerned Youtube creators who claimed she was unhealthy with an eating disorder. Here, many of the commentary circled around her possible eating disorder and unhealthy looking weight.

Well, today we have good news as a new image has surfaced showing Eugenia looking a lot healthier and also happier. This comes months after she went on a break from social media and claimed she was working with her doctor to get healthier.

Youtuber Eugenia Cooney sparks anorexia concerns

This story has recently gained more traction, but the truth is that if you have followed the story of Youtuber Eugenia Cooney, then you will know that there has been growing concerns about her health for some time now.

The Youtube personality is most famous for her vlogs which mostly feature beauty tips and cosplay-fashion videos. In short, she is like many other Youtube channels which focus on the beauty industry via vlogging.

However, her most recent video has generated a lot of attention, with the likes of Keemstar and Pewdiepie both mentioning it. Here, in a cosplay outfit she can be seen looking incredibly thin - and it is mostly assumed that this is down to anorexia.
In the video shown, you can see pictures of Cooney from several years back which show her with a fuller-face, whereas in todays pictures she is seen looking much more thin and gaunt.
Cooney has claimed for some time that she simply cannot put on weight and that it is not a concern...also stating that she is not a role model, i.e. her younger audience should not follow her lifestyle too seriously.

Whilst it is concerning to see her physical condition, it is at least heart-warming to see the Youtube community offer their support - as in an industry full of disses and name-calling, they have rallied round her asking for fans to help her and for Cooney to get help.

Whether Cooney will get help is completely up to her however and ultimately it would be her decision to do so, but it is nice to see fan support. As has been mentioned in some videos already, we just hope she gets help before it is too late.
