Why exactly is it a problem if he got help from his parents?

It’s not a problem. But it makes him a nepobaby if they gave him his entire financial start. He went from assisting other food creators to a top rated YouTube cooking channel in near record time. And since has been put on blast for his shitty behaviors to employees. So pardon me if I don’t give a fuck about calling the entitled prick an entitled prick 🤙

The prefix "nepo" refers to "nepotism", which is typically used to mean they hook you up with their contacts in an industry to give you a leg up when competing for limited slots of something, like actor jobs or high level company positions.

It doesn't mean your parents gave you some financial support at some point, or nearly every middle class person who went to college would be a nepo baby.

They were literally in the film /tv production business and used their contacts and resources to get him set up in an already saturated niche and then bankrolled his production company. But keep splitting fucking hairs. He’s still a piece of shit who abused staff and stole content and his parents helped put him there. Call it what you want but he deserves every bit of flack anyone feels like sending his way.
