This month has been full of love for CJ So Cool and Ti Taylor. Although both creators have been on YouTube for over a decade, they finally got the opportunity to truly know each other this year. Many supporters have enjoyed seeing the two all bood up online.
Following their first link-up, Ti recently became emotional while speaking about finding genuine love with CJ and protecting their peace from outside negativity. CJ also addressed criticism surrounding their fast-moving relationship and stood by falling in love within just 13 days.
However, while the couple tried to stay away from negativity, CJ recently found himself in the hot seat following a tense moment during a sleepover stream.
On Thursday, Ti Taylor and CJ So Cool decided to host a sleepover stream on Twitch. During the stream, the two shared laughs as they discussed various topics. Things became intense during their Uno game after CJ tried to rock Ti with the Uno cards. While the two debated back and forth, CJ then appeared to mush Ti in the face. She quickly responded, Too much, dont do that, dont do that. CJ then attempted to pull Ti closer and kiss her, but she repeatedly told him to calm down.
As the clip circulated online, social media users quickly began to react. Later that day, viewers joined Ti Taylor and CJ So Cools stream while the couple was out and continued bringing up the Uno game. CJ appeared to read a comment that said, Dont get drunk and slap her.
He then laughed while responding to the remark, saying, Yall so lame. Yall aint never mushed your significant other? You never played with your significant other?
Ti then interjected, saying, They dont be play fighting. Everybodys perfect.
CJ So Cool continued in a sarcastic tone, saying, They dont be in love, or they so perfect. Oh yeah, I forgot. Yall are so perfect. Yall are so perfect. I wish I could be like yall. Oh my God, I wish I could be more like yall, because yall are so perfect. You would never make a mistake. You have the best PR training. Yall just wait till youre off the camera to slap each other around. But me, I just do everything on camera so yall can see how much fun we really have. I really be body slamming her in the bed, but she told me dont do that on camera.
The YouTuber later apologized to his chat and asked for forgiveness, saying the moment was not intentional and that he was just being goofy. In other clips, he also explained that he had been in multiple relationships before and never faced abusive accusations. He even told Ti that it was not cool to see people online suddenly hate him.
They both also stepped into The Shade Room Teens comments to address critics. Ti wrote, It wasnt done with malicious intent. I was raised right to know the difference between the two. But thanks for all the support good or bad.
CJ also entered the chat and wrote, Im sorry I took that Uno game way too serious. Sorry chat, I was dead wrong. It wont happen again.
Folks gathered under The Shade Room Teens as they reacted to the viral situation involving Ti Taylor and CJ So Cool. While some people felt Ti should proceed with caution in her relationship, others offered advice and said abuse can happen in different ways. Some argued that Uno games can become intense, and it was not that deep.
