'Loren Beech' Roasts 'Baby Ariel'

Posted by Irene Murzyn in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e2 on

Do you know how much secret hate is bubbling inside of a ‘social media star?’


Loren Beech (@loren) made the brave decision to make a video, impersonating another star that got famous off of the internet ( @BabyAriel.) Did Loren think about what she did before she did what she did?

The two got their fame from an app called “Musical.ly.” In the app you have the ability to lip sync to lyrics from songs or create your own video for others to remake. These two, along with others have started from the bottom and gotten to the top 10 on the app. Ariel Martin (@babyariel) has 14.2 million fans on the app, while Loren has 10.9 million fans on the app. Loren and Ariel are in the top 10, on the daily. They have true fans that will fight for the ‘right person.’ The internet affects everyone’s opinion, so much that you can never figure out who started what. Their fan bases will edit and upload anything possible to get their desired amount of supporters on their side.

In the impersonation, Loren took what she always saw in Ariel’s Musical.ly’s, YouTube videos, and You Now live streams and made a combination of all of them. She opens the video talking about #Zariel, the ship name for Ariel and Zach Clayton (@Bruhitszach.) From there she makes fun of how Ariel doesn’t like to accept compliments for herself from others. Loren ends the video with a small clip of her saying that she “created Ari (@Theylovearii.) But concludes the video mimicking Ariel’s Musical.ly for her outro.

When Loren uploaded one of the many videos she made, she got so much hate and disrespect from Ariel’s fan base that she had to make her account private. After that she wrote an apology that was posted to a couple of her social medias. Loren says that she didn’t have Ariel’s newest number to send a direct apology to her, so she sent a message to Mark Thomas (@duhitzmark) to send to Ariel. But that message was never sent. Loren also claims that she got the idea from a group chat full of friends that she knows. A person in the chat only wanted to start drama so she gave Loren the idea of mocking another famous person. So technically, it wasn’t fully her fault. She still took the blame because she decided to listen to her friend.

In the end Loren’s actions could’ve been solved differently. Loren’s decision involved immediacy, permanence, and lack of control. Immediacy is involved because Loren knew that as soon as she hit the one button that decided the next move, she would never have that permanently gone. Permanence is important because from now on if you type in the right words, videos from that day will pop up with Loren being the main victim. Lack of control plays a part because Loren has/had no control over what she posts on the internet. Loren could’ve done a lot of things differently. The main thing she could’ve done is not listen to her friend in the group chat. She could’ve done that or she could’ve just saved the bad video and not posted it on any social platforms that she has.


In the end, hate can do a whole lot of damage, keep the hate to yourself and don’t make Loren’s mistake.
