ILoveKimPossibleAlot Allegedly Harasses Vendors, Attendee at Recent California Brony Convention

The White Knight defends KP’s honor

Two vendors and an attendee report they were harassed by ILoveKimPossibleAlot and her self-described bodyguard and “psi-warrior,” Jack Nolan, at a recent brony convention.  The vendors claim they were targeted for “negative” tweets they sent and the attendee claims they were targeted because they wouldn’t buy her art.  Before we get into their stories, we’ll begin below by reporting on the events that led up to these incidents.

Literally who?

Who Is Jack Nolan?

While you are all likely familiar with ILoveKimPossibleAlot, or KP, you may be unfamiliar with the name Jack Nolan.  That’s okay, we all were.  Jack Wadsworth Nolan, according to his profile on Stage 32, is a 50 year-old actor and author.  He served a commission with the 353rd Research and Analysis Company and the 15th Tactical PSYOP Co.  He’s a member of SAG-AFTRA and has appeared as a background extra in a number of TV shows and movies throughout the years.  He’s written a book entitled, Firewall: The Propagandist’s Guide to Self-Defense.  And he’s also a member of the vaunted brony analysis community under the name Commando Solo.

"Buy my book!"

We’ll get back to Mr. Nolan later, but first let’s hear from his alleged harassment victims.

"I'll pay you in exposure~~"

A Brief Backstory: All About a Tweet

On March 20, ILoveKimPossibleAlot sent a tweet asking for people who were vending at High Roller Pony Con to “split a booth for online/Youtube [sic] promotion of its location.”  She was denied a booth at the convention in question, and, in order to get into the vendor hall, begged a friend to share a table with her.
Clarification/Edit 09. May 2018: we were just informed that she never actually applied for a vendor table at HRPC, and instead had applied for a spot as a Community Guest, but withdrew it after the recent California convention. It would appear she had the intention to either apply for a vendor table, or, do what she did at the California con, in which case was to have a normal attendee badge but "share" a table with someone else.

Here are the three tales of harassment in the victims’ own words.

The First Vendor

So maybe three days before [the convention] KP puts out her tweet offering to trade exposure for splitting a table at HRPC.  I replied to it saying that she knows tables are expensive and this is a bad deal, warning others not to take it because exposure doesn’t pay.  Normally I wouldn’t give a fuck but with her history of exploiting creators when she is a creator herself has soured my opinion of her.  It’s one thing to just be the “idea guy” and not really have a clue as to how much work creating is, it’s another to know exactly how much work it is but fuck over other creators anyway.  She replied to me saying that she never said she wouldn’t pay for the table (which is technically true but she didn’t make that offer to begin with) and I just blew it off because I stopped caring enough to continue the conversation.  I considered it done. 

Jack Nolan or Daddy Derek?

Now Friday at [the convention] I’m setting up my vendor table and have two friends helping me out.  This man who I can only describe as an exact clone of Daddy Derek from Cool Cat and in that same age range [Jack Nolan] approaches me.  I’m not fully awake and super busy so I don’t understand what he’s trying to tell me.  He mumbles something about KP and Twitter.  I give him a look like, “wtf are you talking about?” and he mentions that I spoke to KP on Twitter.  Again, “What?”  He just tells me I need to talk to KP about it.  I thought it was incredibly weird and just went back to set up.

About 20 minutes later KP approaches me and tells me we need to talk.  She then begins to defend herself about this tweet.  I just smiled and played along to make her go away.  I will grant that she was reasonably polite about it?  I just shrugged it off as something, again, really fucking weird but didn’t pay much mind until I found out she had been doing this to other people she had stupid Twitter run-ins with. [...]

I forgot to mention.  Literally the only time I’ve ever spoken to her directly, indirectly, anything at all was that one tweet.  That’s it.  But apparently that was enough to send this grown ass man to me.  Which thinking about it now, KP must’ve told him to look for me because I didn’t know this man at all but he knew my name and what I did to piss KP off.

For the rest of the con I caught glares from KP since I had the misfortune of vending fairly close to her.  I thought I was being paranoid until I asked a buddy who was helping me at the table.  He confirmed [that] I was not being paranoid.

Daddy Derek (as I’m calling him now) [aka Jack Nolan] almost never left KP’s side.  He was like her personal body guard and was the weekend went on it got more and more creepy that a man in his 50s was being the personal bouncer of a girl off pony YouTube.  And yes, he is in his 50s.  We checked.

The Second Vendor

So, about two weeks ago HN posted this on their Twitter and I replied with, “Wow, this is kinda fucked.  It’s not that much to split a table.”  That was it.  I didn’t think much of it at the time and I almost forgot I even tweeted it.  Friday morning of the con, I was setting up my table and I have a guy [Jack Nolan] come up and tell me to come to KP’s table to talk about something.  Honestly, I was kinda shocked?  I had no idea what she wanted to talk to me about and I was really confused.  I had no idea KP even knew who I was.  (I did one drawing for her channel a few years ago but nothing that she would remember me by.  I’m sure it was her staff or something who asked for the art anyway.  They asked me if I could make them more but I just never responded since they seemed unprofessional and unappreciative of the free work.  This was before [the] KP leak thing happened and I did lots of art for pony YouTubers at the time so I didn’t think much of it.)  I asked him what about, and he said, “Some tweet you made about High Roller Ponycon.”  I was surprised she even remembered that tweet, or that she went out of the way to look at Horse News’s Twitter, find me in the mentions, and decide to come find me at the con.  I just told him, “I don’t want to talk to her,” and he just said okay and left.  I went back to the post and deleted the tweet, because I was worried about drama coming to my table.  (I regret this now obviously.  I never thought this situation would blow up the way it did.)  This was my very first time vending at a convention, the last thing I needed was that.  I wanted her to just leave me alone tbh.  Four hours later, while I was working on a commission, KP came up to my table saying that she wanted to talk to me about the tweet I made.  I just looked at her and said, “I don’t want to talk to you,” she kept asking me, “Why?” and I said, “I really don’t want drama at my table, and I’m working,” and she kept saying, “Why?” with me responding, “I don’t want to talk to you.”  She wouldn’t leave me alone until I said, “I’ll think about it,” and she stormed off.

The Attendee

On Saturday of [the convention], I was standing at the booth of Rae Deerwood discussing a commission.  At the time I noticed Jack Nolan standing behind me, but since I did not know who he was, I paid no mind.  I had been counting my money to decide on whether or not to get a commission due to pricing.  As I stepped back to count, Jack approached me and said another vendor was selling $10 headshot commissions.  Naturally because I was getting tight on money at this point, I wanted to know who.  Due to the information about ILoveKPAlot, I had absolutely no interest in even approaching her.  So, after he informed me who it was, I casually and politely told him no, and that I have no interest in meeting or buying from KP.

Later that day, I noticed KP was gone, and as I am a fan of her booth partner’s art, I snuck over to Keyframe Productions’s booth while she was not there and discussed the pony cut out art that was on display.  Ultimately, I politely declined, telling her I would need to count my money again.  I was under the impression that was the last of it.  It was not.

The following day, Sunday, I was waiting in line to meet WhiteDiamond so I could buy a commission from her, as she is an artist I highly respect and annually get commissions from.  After discussing it, Jack Nolan came up behind me and called my name.  I remember not telling him my name, but he probably saw it on my badge.  He asked if I was still interested in the art, I was a bit confused and stepped to the side to ask him which it was.  Instead of telling me who, he asked me to come with him.  Not wanting to cause a scene I went with him, on guard the entire time.  He went to Keyframe Productions Booth, and KP was sitting there.  At this point I was very confused, both Jack and KP were missing from the booth when I [talked] to Keyframe about her framed art, so there was no way for him to know about it unless she had told him, or he had been watching me.  He stood behind KP, arms crossed as if defending her from some unknown threat, and stared at me as I tried to, twice, decline that I could afford Keyframe’s pricey art.  I was very uncomfortable with the stares both KP and him were giving me, and wanting to just please them so I wouldn’t be bothered again, I bought a $5 print from Keyframe.  KP immediately as soon as I pulled out my wallet started to say something, I believe she was going to try to get me to buy her prints, but I shook my head and turned away.  Walking away with my regretful, and somewhat forced, purchase, I left the booth with her and Jack glaring at me.  They didn’t bother me again for the rest of the con.  However Sunday night I was sitting at the chairs near the escalators with my Celestia KL plush and dozing half asleep.  Jack walks by, watching all the other vendors carrying product, but himself doing nothing to help, and with a slightly uncomfortable look, very passive aggressively saluted at me.  With my extensive history with people in the military, I’m well aware of a proper salute, versus one that’s made as an insult.  Luckily this was my last meeting with him.

The Psi-Warrior Responds

Before we even published this piece, Jack Nolan was kind enough to release a video detailing his job at this convention as “[KP’s] bodyguard.”  He takes credit for “neutralizing 2 of 3 incidents” and goes on a tirade about the “scandal mongering and defamation [that are] more potent than ever,” bemoaning how “no gatekeepers exist to prevent slander and libel from spreading.”

He elaborates on why a warrior such as himself was needed, stating that due to Kim’s “gender and faith, [she] has become a target on all the bad actor’s radars.”  He waxes profusely about how KP is “an earnest and courageous woman, big enough to admit she might have made some errors, but who wants more than anything to live them down and prove herself.”

Unfortunately, the events at the convention profoundly affected Mr. Nolan, as he stated that he “won’t be bodyguarding Kim again, because the responsibility exhausted me.”

Finally, this true white knight tips his fedora and reminds us all that “people with bad intentions actively seek to defame, sabotage, entrap, back-stab, and vilify [your favorite YouTube personalities] to satisfy their malice, their perversity, for a quick buck, or simply for the lols.”

Mr. Nolan, we hope you get the help you need.
