BradTheLadLong is a YouTube vlogger who has been a member of the site since 2011. He is notable for his outspoken Youtube videos and his online scandals.
During his YouTube career he has been involved in many feuds and dramas. The most notorious being his alleged involvement in the break-up of Jenna Marbles and MaxNoSleeves. Reports claimed that Jenna tweeted, "Wow. Max and I broke up after 4 years over BradTheLadLong. COOL". Brad caused an uproar within the YouTube community when he defended vlogger Sam Pepper during assault claims. Speaking to the Independent Brad claimed that other YouTubers were trying to 'further their own careers' by creating a hate campaign against Sam and blacklisting him from the online community.
Brad made headlines in the UK when he mistook British soap opera EastEnders for being a reality show like 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta'. Brad questioned why the police were not called when fictional character Lucy Beale was murdered during the show and claimed it may have been a 'press cover-up'.
In 2015 Brad took credit for the notorious 'white and gold' dress which saw users on social media debating the colour of a dress. Claiming to reveal all in a viral Twitter statement, Brad wrote, "Scientists have proven that when there is a big event in your life that is having a negative effect on you, your sighting of colours may vary and that is why some people are seeing black and blue."
In the same year ITV reported that Brad was behind a live TV marriage proposal. Producers of Coronation Street allowed one social media user to have their own personal message written on a black board in The Rovers Return pub during a live episode. The chosen message read, "Katie Lowe will you marry me?" After viewers congratulated the anonymous couple, Brad took to Twitter to reveal it was a prank on his brother and his brother's girlfriend. He claimed that the prank caused such havoc within the family that his brother Marc and his girlfriend Katie broke up.
In 2016 Brad caused a social media storm when he created the #SaveTwitter hashtag that trended worldwide on the social media site. It was reported that the Youtuber filed and sent off hate messages he received and that Twitter would be closing down in 2017 to stop the cyber-bullying. Twitter was forced to deny claims writing, "there is absolutely no truth to the claims whatsoever"
Since his career has grown, Brad admitted to being offered a place in several reality shows and the DailyMail reported he was set to enter 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
