The Heartbreaking Reason the SevenSuperGirls YouTube Channel No Longer Exists

For nearly 10 years, the SevenSuperGirls YouTube channel was once incredibly fashionable, however no one learned what was once truly going on in the back of the scenes.

From 2008 until 2018, SevenSuperGirls used to be one in every of the hottest YouTube channels ever. It was once the greatest all-girl partnered collaboration on YouTube with greater than 9.5 million subscribers and more than 5.6 billion video views. Now, the channel has completely disappeared from YouTube. What happened to SevenSuperGirls?

What came about to the SevenSuperGirls YouTube channel?

The SevenSuperGirls channel featured seven other younger ladies (as you most likely could have guessed). Each of the seven girls uploaded a video skit as soon as day every week, and every week had a unique theme. The channel used to be aimed toward a preteen target audience, and it used to be wildly fashionable. 

SevenSuperGirls used to be the biggest channel of the wildly popular brand SevenAwesomeKids (or SAKs). The brand was co-founded by way of a person named Ian Rylett, who paid each of the younger women a monthly wage in alternate for filming movies that he directed. Other SAKs channels integrated SevenPerfectAngels, SevenTwinklingTweens, SevenFuntasticGirls, SevenGymnasticsGirls, SevenEpicDancers… the record goes on, but you get the idea.

In the fall of 2018, Rylett was arrested in Florida for “lewd and lascivious molestation” of considered one of the young women who made content material underneath his direction. According to BuzzFeed News, detectives had been referred to as to Rylett’s resort room after he allegedly demanded that a young girl undress in entrance of him towards her will. The girl — who at the time used to be beneath the age of 16 — alleged that Rylett touched her breasts and attempted to forcibly remove her underwear.

After Rylett’s arrest, the SevenSuperGirls YouTube channel remained dormant for a while and YouTube claimed it had been demonetized. By March of 2018, YouTube shut down the SevenSuperGirls channel, at the side of the other SAKs channels.

“We take safety on YouTube very critically," a spokesperson for YouTube said at the time. "We work closely with leading child safety organizations and others in our industry to protect young people. When we’re made aware of serious allegations of this nature we take motion, which may include terminating channels upon conclusion of an investigation."

In July of 2019, Brianna Motte (a former member of the SevenSuperGirls channel) posted a video on her own channel in which she claimed to be the victim of the 2018 molestation. In the video, she detailed her experiences filming videos for SAKs channels, as well as several incidents with Rylett that made her feel uncomfortable. According to Motte, Rylett would insist that each of the young women send him pictures of them wearing outfits that would appear in later videos. 

She also claimed that in addition to the specific incident that led to Rylett’s arrest, he had previously insisted that she bind her breasts. She said that on one occasion, Rylett had insisted on staying in the room while another employee helped her put on a binder. 

According to local news website ClickOrlando.com, Rylett pleaded guilty to child abuse, entering a deal with prosecutors to avoid going on trial and facing a possible 15-year prison sentence. In exchange for his plea deal, Rylett was sentenced to 90 days in the Orange County Jail. He was given credit for the 29 days he had already served while awaiting trial.

As for the young women featured in the SevenSuperGirls channel (as well as other members of other SAKs channels), many of them — including Motte — have gone on to continue filming their own content for YouTube. While the SevenSuperGirls channel is gone for good, fans of the stars can still catch up with their faves online.
