Tablo recently opened up about his thoughts on the past, recalling the time he was unfairly targeted in a massive witch hunt regarding his academic credentials.
On the 12th, a video titled “The WORST friendship betrayals & breakups” was uploaded to Tablo’s official channel. In the clip, Tablo reads stories sent in by subscribers and relates them to his own life. While reading a story about a subscriber who was cut off by a friend of 12 years after refusing a favor, Tablo remarked, “That friend doesn’t see you as a person. They’re just friends with your car.”
Tablo offered some blunt advice: “The best feeling in the world is when you see all the red flags and realize someone isn’t a real friend, but you’re struggling with how to end it, and then they just ghost you or treat you poorly, making it easy to cut them off.” He also reflected on his past, saying, “Between me, Mithra, and TwozTWO, there are probably 100 people who did crazy things to us, put us in terrible situations, and made others point fingers at us, simply because we didn’t speak out about what actually happened, even though we were the victims.”
He explained that he chose not to reveal everything, saying, “I didn’t say what actually happened.” He recalled friends suggesting, “Why don’t you just report them? Tell everyone what really happened, and they’ll all turn their backs on them,” but he refused. “I didn’t want to do the same thing those people did,” he stated. “My life isn’t a sports match. I don’t live to show off to others or for people to tell me what to do or judge if I’m right or wrong. My life doesn’t exist for others to cheer for me or to bash someone else.” These firm words were an indirect reference to the people behind ‘Tajinyo’ who tormented him.
Back in 2010, Tablo went through a grueling ordeal with ‘Tajinyo’, an online community that questioned his graduation from Stanford University and spent years framing him for academic forgery.
