Another day, another controversy for YouTube creator Greg Jackson (Onision). In a recent upload titled “A New Low,” the YouTuber explains that after being sent a topless photo of an underaged girl, he was allegedly set up by a “hater” looking to defame him.
In the video’s comments, Jackson writes: “There’s a screencap out there of me responding to an email from a girl asking to be in my videos. I asked her for her facebook/channel to see if she was photogenic (photogenic = better thumbnails) – Not realizing she had already attached a photo of herself (I was using my cell phone).”
The attached photo, as discontents have since pointed out to Jackson, was of an underaged girl used to supposedly lure the vlogger into committing possible heinous acts.
In defense, Jackson wrote on Facebook, “You just don’t ask for someone’s facebook/channel when they send you a **** pic, I wouldn’t do that, problem is, I didn’t know it was there.”
In the wake of the controversy, Jackson has cut off all outside communications with his fanbase. “I’m going to be discontinuing speaking to strangers directly outside of the Onision forums & video comments. It will probably be for good,” writes Jackson, adding, “I also don’t plan on updating my statuses anymore with the exception of sharing video links.I am completely and utterly fed up.”
Still, hordes of commenters are challenging Jackson’s response claiming that the email contained text that alluded to an attached picture. Jackson writes, “Some people are saying the email included ‘look at my pic’ or something like that. I can’t confirm this as (1) it was deleted from my account (I do this with most all emails) (2) I wasn’t paying attention.”
For now, it seems Jackson has cut off all communication with fans, posting a final Facebook message that reads, “I’m seeing a lot of love and support, and I appreciate that. Thank you bananas. This will be my last non-video status update for some time. Goodbye.”

Any bets on how long his announcement not to talk outside his circle lasts THIS time?
Weren’t Shiloh and Lainey both underage when he began with them? Someone knew what bait to use. 17, indeed.
Just double checked the email the girl sent Onision. She says “here’s what I look like.”
What a lying @$$#013 Greggers is.
Repzion showed the screencap on his facebook. Onision knew what the message said. Someguy827 knows someone who approached Onision as both an adult and a child and only the email to the underage account received a response asking for facebook/twitter/youtube.
Onision is a sick bastard and I hope the Feds investigate him for his lust for little girls with pubes.
Repzion sent the photo out. I dont believe it was posted there however I also dont believe Onision.
There are facts to show that he only replies to underage teens in his messeges, this can be backed up as he created a site for grown men to meet underage girls. Look it up.
Onision had replied to this girl looking for a chance to have a relationship with her and it is obvious. Worse is that he is on his THIRD MARRAGE!
Law enforcement can check whether or not he did. I say repot him and have law enforcement prove it. If Repzion is right that means Onision goes to jail and is fprever ruined on Youtube. Fair nuff?
His videos are garbage and he’s a complete drama/attention whore. No-one cares.
