Introduction

The video introduces Cole and Dylan Sprouse, acknowledging their successful careers but also highlighting the traumas they faced in Hollywood. These include starring in inappropriate movie roles as children and working with a manager who was a convicted criminal preying on children. The video aims to explore the darker aspects of their experiences in the entertainment industry.

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things

The video discusses the 2004 movie "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," in which both Dylan and Cole Sprouse starred. The movie is described as graphic and psychologically disturbing, with many viewers questioning why their parents allowed them to take on such roles. The plot involves their character, Jeremiah, being persuaded to cross-dress and engage in seduction techniques, including a scene with Marilyn Manson's character.

Manager Josh Workman

The video shifts focus to Josh Workman, the Sprouse twins' manager, who was a convicted criminal. An email excerpt details allegations of Workman inviting child clients to parties, getting them drunk, and touching them inappropriately. Workman was convicted of felony sa by restraint involving a 16-year-old male victim. Despite his conviction, Workman's current whereabouts are unknown. The twins had a close relationship with Workman, who managed them since they were eight years old.

Implications Against Josh

The video shares further allegations against Josh Workman, claiming the Sprouse twins were heavily implicated in the charges against him. It's alleged that the twins lived with Workman full-time without their parents' involvement and that he made them sleep in his bed without clothing and took pictures of them. Additionally, Brian Peck, who was convicted of harming someone from the Amanda Show, later worked on set with Cole and Dylan Sprouse at Disney Channel.

The Twins' Career and Fame

The video discusses how the Sprouse twins recognized they were over-socialized as children, a common issue for child stars. They are defensive about assumptions regarding child stars, having witnessed their friends struggle with fame and the transition to adult life. Cole Sprouse has expressed that fame is a trauma and that he feels the same psychological effects as an adult that he felt as a child.

Cole's Tumblr Experiment

In September 2012, Cole created a Tumblr page called "culture concept" where he interacted with fans and posted photography. However, he deleted the page after a bizarre post, claiming it was a social experiment. His final post was pretentious and confusing, leading fans to question his motives. Cole later posted tweets to clarify the situation, stating that he wanted to see how people reacted to being observed.

Cole's Relationship with Brie

Cole was previously in a relationship with a girl named Brie, and they often hashtagged their posts with #relationshipgoals. They broke up in 2015, and Brie made posts on social media that suggested Cole was the one who ended the relationship. Cole made a tweet about not becoming so jaded by abuse that one's opposition becomes abusive, which some interpreted as victim-blaming.

Cole's Recent Controversies

In August 2021, it was reported that an a-list actor, who had been acting since childhood, yelled at his model girlfriend at dinner until she cried. It was later revealed that this was about Cole Sprouse and his girlfriend, Ari. Cole also faced criticism for making posts about reverse racism, claiming that people can be discriminatory towards white people or males.

Dylan's Life

Dylan seems to be living his best life out of the spotlight, unlike Cole. Cole is more opinionated and sometimes faces backlash for his views. The video concludes by mentioning that Cole is still acting in Riverdale, and the show should end before it gets worse.

Package Opening

The video ends with the host opening a package from a small business called Beantown Buddies, showcasing stickers and a handmade item. She thanks the sender and provides a discount code for her followers.

0:00 cole and dylan sprouse aren't always happy-go-lucky they too have dealt with their fair share of trauma in hollywood like starring in disgusting movies where they play inappropriate roles as children or working with a manager who is a convicted criminal preying on children these twins have gone through a lot and they have seen the darkest side of hollywood so let's get into it [Music] let's talk about the dark side of the sprouse twins you guys probably recognize cole and dylan from their disney show the suite life of zach and cody but they've been working in hollywood ever since they were young boys

0:45 oh hi hi mrs danza hello twenty oh i got something to surprise that was an interview clip from a movie they did called bad daddy with adam sandler i believe but before we get into their zac and cody career i want to talk a little bit about a movie they did in 2004. the movie is called the heart is deceitful above all things it came out in 2004 and it starred both dylan and

1:32 cole sprouse this is a very graphic movie and if you were to look up clips on youtube you would see people comment things like i can't believe their parents would allow them to do a movie like this god this is just so sad so psychologically disturbing these boys were only 10 or 11 during the filming of this movie and their role was gross so let's talk a little bit about this movie and the premise of it because i would never allow my children to play these roles because like those comments said i feel like they're psychologically disturbing the main character's name is sarah and she is an sex worker you can't say these things on youtube but anyways she's also a mother to jeremiah who's

2:20 played by dylan and cole sprouse the twins are also playing an 11 year old boy and pretty much this sarah character can't continue working with these men when she's got a son to lug around so it would be more convenient for sarah the mother to have this 11 year old boy be her sister and to help her work sarah realizes if she's going to keep her men she cannot say that jeremiah is her son she persuades jeremiah to cross-dress so that he can act like her little sister jeremiah's cross-dressing evolves to include his mother's seduction techniques after dressing up as a baby doll version of sarah which consisted of her makeup her nightgown and her heels

3:06 jeremiah then seduces jackson who's played by marilyn manson people a guy that we know as a creep the sprouse twins had to like seduce him in this movie at the age of 11. that was the last man that the mother sarah had been with now is with the son aka the little sister who initially rebuffs the advances so at first marilyn manson's character doesn't even want the twin but then gives in this movie's disgusting the ratings for this movie are trash i don't even know why they created this film because it is so appalling and here's a clip of one of the twins getting their makeup done for this scene [Music]

3:54 all right close your eyes left look right my hair used to be blonde like yours it also got darker too i would show you guys the entire clip but it is graphic here's another little clip of one of the sprouse twins all dressed up and preparing to seduce manson i can't they are so beautiful baby dog thank you honey that is sexy girl

4:41 obviously that movie is horrific and i can't imagine being one of those kids playing that role that is traumatic alone but let's go ahead and move on to the suite life of zack and cody because i want to talk to you guys a little bit about the manager the sprouse twins had so it turns out the sprouse twins had a convicted criminal as their manager somebody sent me an email and i'm going to read a few snippets of it throughout this video but they claimed that josh was one of their friends managers and he was also the sprouse twins manager my friend would talk a lot about the parties this man threw he invited all of his child clients he would get them drunk and then would touch them inappropriately everyone knew and when

5:27 my friend was 15 josh actually gave him drugs and then touched him inappropriately my friend woke up too early and caught him fondling and inappropriately touching him my friend punched him and fled the charges were basically iron solid josh was convicted but as far as i know he has since fled the country again that's an email that i received that led me to this man josh workman i cannot figure out where he's at nowadays maybe he did what the country who knows let's go ahead and talk about his time with the sprouse twins so it's true this josh man was convicted and he was the manager to the sprouse twins josh was also the ceo

6:13 of myrmark entertainment and he was a producer on a few of the sprouse twins movies i found an article about mary kate and ashley olsen and in this article josh was quoted and they claimed that he had been managing the sprouse twins since they were eight years old so he managed them for a long time he didn't want the twins to get lost in the disney machine and he wanted to take their career to the next level so he did help the twins produce some movies like the prince and the pauper um i never actually saw this movie did you guys comment below it seems like josh workman has tried to scrub himself from the internet but those crimes don't scrub away he was arrested for felony

7:00 sa by restraint so harming someone and restraining them while doing so supposedly his victim is only 16 years old and is a male which is something to note that he likes guys so he preys on the the male stars josh's lawyer steve said that josh admitted he annoyed annoyed an individual who is a minor and provide that person with alcohol on the day in question he acknowledged that he used bad judgment on that occasion and that's why he pled no contest to the two charges but he's not admitting to actually getting physical with this 16 year old and this guy is older like he's in his i believe in his 40s at this point but he

7:46 should not be messing around with no teenagers or minors like there's no excuse at all but like plus here's his information so if you want to try to find information about him i tried i tried looking in the court records and everything to see like how long he served but i couldn't figure it out so if you guys can figure out that information please email me and a little bit of information the media did report on in this case they claimed that the sprouse twins weren't victims of josh's or at least weren't the victims in that situation but i did find this weird fact sheet on the internet and it has a bunch of facts about the twins and i found some interesting facts about cole let's go through some of these facts so cole's manager is josh workman cole has a very close

8:32 relationship with his manager josh cole's biggest role models are his family friends and his manager josh cole's biggest motivator is his manager josh okay this is getting weird this man has been managing the twins since they are eight years old like he's not their father there's no doubt in my mind that there's some type of weird relationship between josh and the sprouse twins but of course josh and his entertainment company has nothing to say about the situation and disney channel of course they're speechless because they never have anything to say because that place is full of pervs but supposedly the prosecutor in this case told tmz that josh has to register as an so

9:19 so oh and he could face up to one year in jail why the hell can i not find what happened to this guy like i cannot find records that he went to jail but now he's an so like this guy did kind of disappear and i looked through a few different databases i'm not the best but i'm pretty good and i cannot find anything but i do want to finish off that email i was reading earlier so the reason why i spoke about josh today was because one of you guys emailed me about him and about your friend who worked with him and you had a little bit more you wanted to share so this uh next segment is all alleged what no one knows is that the sprouse twins were heavily implicated in these charges so in these charges against josh their parents weren't involved at the time and they

10:06 were living full time with josh i tried to fact check all of this i could not find anything about it but like i honestly wouldn't be surprised because i do know that like amanda bynes she lived with like dan schneider her producer at one point because she was working so much and her parents were like living out of state he was basically their foster parent this person claims this sick perv made them sleep in his bed without clothing on he took pictures of them he did things to them um and they wish they had more concrete details but this is what the friend who if if this all did go to court which i can't find any records of it which maybe it's all sealed because they're minors but if it did go to court and this was all exposed in court maybe the

10:51 friend would know about this again that's kind of like speculation but one thing that's not speculation is that a known criminal did work on the show i recently posted a video about brian peck he was convicted after harming someone from the amanda show a guy as well and then after serving some time in jail he went on to work at the disney channel on set with cole and dylan sprouse and i don't know if this brian guy ever had access to them but if you guys don't know anything about that definitely go and check out my previous video that man is an absolute creep and i wouldn't be surprised if he finessed his way to the twins somehow now let's talk a little bit more about the twins career so they

11:36 actually recognized that they were over socialized as children unfortunately a lot of children in the industry are forced to grow up quicker because of i guess how the industry works it's sick and the boys are also victims of this not as bad as the girls the twins even recognize this but still bad the twins actually get pretty defensive when it comes to assumptions about child stars because they've seen a lot of their friends go through hell and back after growing up and not being able to handle adult life and the media and the lack of work the twins started acting when they were only six months old and the twins added that people always want to criticize child stars for going nuts or going crazy but they ignore how fame is

12:24 a trauma and how that is traumatic to these children it's also traumatic in adulthood you guys probably know if you watch riverdale that coal is actually featured in riverdale i used to watch that show before it got weird no offense but i did love cole in that series cole was quoted saying that now that he's gone through his second big round of fame he's feeling the same psychological effects he felt as a child he does feel like now as an adult he can hide it better but he's clarifying that he does believe that fame is some sort of trauma and even though the twins never had a huge breakdown they've had their moments they just went under the radar so in september 2012 cole created a tumblr

13:09 page called culture concept which that name is perfect but anyways he tweeted about this tumblr page on his main twitter he would answer some fans questions and he would post some photography pictures and it was a place for him to connect with his fans but his blog didn't last long and he ended up deleting it after making a bizarre post where he claimed that this was all a social experiment i need you guys to comment below as we go through this next segment because i still can't wrap my mind around it all so in september he revealed his tumblr and then through october he interacted with fans he posted photos and audio of himself he

13:55 made one weird post where he claimed that he loved tumblr's likes and reblogs in the same way i love a nursery filled with kids who defecate on themselves it was he trying to be like poetic or something there is actually a tumblr page called culture concept archive and they have every single post that cole made on his tumblr on this page so there's a record of it all but his final post was pretentious and bizarre and fans were confused on why he even created this space to connect with them in the first place so here's his last tumblr post as you guys can see his hair is in his face and he writes so my goal for this website was accomplished i got all the information i needed and now i'm deleting this account thanks to all who

14:42 watched read and listened i hope that in some small way my words carried way the next time you see or hear from me i will most definitely be a changed man some people believe that he deleted this tumblr because he is also going through a really traumatic relationship at the time but we'll get into that in a second so by november 18th so he created the account september 26th he had it until november 18th and he posted this final post claiming that he accomplished everything he needed to and that he was pretty much running a social experiment through micro blogging then he posted a bunch of tweets to try to clarify the situation it really brought no clarity to the situation at all so let's read these tweets from bottom to top well the

15:29 tumblr results are in i suppose i've given this enough time to fester the goal is to see how a group of people reacted to a suggestion of being observed some of you guessed this good job i never actually stated you guys were part of an experiment or a project you guys forgot everything i said in my previous post jumped to conclusions and changed your disposition to me interesting even if i did conduct a report on this which i'm not you think i would do it without your permission this whole situation it's like he seems like he got himself in trouble and now he's just like oh deleted the page like don't be mad at me you guys reacted exactly how i thought you would gaining nothing from what i said and acting like i betrayed you i don't know you you don't know me people have the capability of being nice and mean don't blindly

16:15 follow someone i had fun i hope you did too we laughed we even cried tears of a baby angel so remember the good not the bad p.s i will not be making another tumblr all the people who say they're me are lying so he created this tumbler to study the humans like what like you see some anthropology major or something like who is he trying to play and a lot of people are calling his bluff on this because you can call anything a social experiment like at the end of the day nobody gets it but i think this social experiment was a way for him to disconnect from tumblr because he was in a really messy and toxic relationship once upon a time cole was dating a girl named brie and they would hashtag their

17:00 posts on tumblr hashtag relationship goals and they were like every basic tumblr couple back then they actually met at new york university and they were dating back in 2013 there were tons of pictures of them on the internet and so many people were jealous of their romantic relationship luckily at this point cole wasn't necessarily in the public eye so we didn't see a lot of their relationship issues however in 2015 they ended up breaking up and going their separate ways brie made a bunch of posts on social media which made it seem like cole was the one who broke up with her however in 2015 they ended up breaking up things went sour brie went on to social media to make posts about

17:48 their breakups rallying up the drama pointing the finger at coal as the reason why they broke up and the two ended up attracting more attention to their situation because they were throwing tantrums online this article writes the most concerning thing that has come out of this breakup are the allegations from his ex-girlfriend she posts and retweets a lot of things about emotional trauma due to relationships at one point cole did make a weird tweet where he wrote don't become so jaded by abuse that your opposition becomes abusi ve okay i spelt it correctly i cannot also

18:34 why is youtube so strict with these words like i'm so tired of having to censor and to spell and all of that um it does seem like this tweet is kind of like victim blaming but that is what this person wrote i'm not that educated in this field to really decipher exactly what that tweet means even though cole is in riverdale he is keeping a low-key profile but i did find one concerning post about him this comes from nt lawyer he is the owner of crazy days and nights which is a gossip website and in august 2021 they write that an a whole actor who's been acting since he was a kid yelled at his model girlfriend at dinner the other night until she broke down in tears he also

19:21 wouldn't let her go to the bathroom because then everyone would think that he was a jerk and made her run off crying they later revealed that this was about cole sprouse at this exact moment i don't know if cole is in a relationship but i'm pretty sure i know who this model was her name is ari she's definitely a model she's beautiful i don't know if they're still dating and i don't know how toxic their relationship was but i did find that one note interesting when it comes to zack it seems like he's just living his best life he's definitely not in the spotlight like cole is and cole's very opinionated too he puts out his opinion he puts out his thoughts and sometimes they bite him in the ass like he did make a post talking about like reverse racism you can't say the ism word on

20:08 youtube but um he made some posts and it definitely left a bad taste in some people's mouth he claims that people can be discriminatory towards white people or males pretty much cole wrote a paragraph about standing up for white men which is something that a lot of people like are kind of like okay man like you've kind of had like the reigns for the last like ever we don't really need to like protect white man as much as other people at least that's like my understanding of the argument i'm actually not going to dive into this either because i literally cannot explain it in a proper way but there are posts out there and there are articles about cole getting in trouble for this paragraph and um looks like he likes to stir the pot a little bit i didn't want this entire video to be all about coal but

20:56 shoot coal you've got way more out there than your brother does like i don't know what zack's up to nowadays but he's just hanging out and doing his thing maybe he's working honestly there's not a lot of updates online but cole you know he's in riverdale and riverdale lake needs to kind of end soon before they like actually ruin the show because the storyline is dry like last i heard they have like superpowers now but anyways here's my email if you have any other video ideas for me let's go ahead and open this po box package item it looks like it's from sweet decorations which i'm pretty sure you've sent me something before sweet decorations i've totally heard that before why am i scared you guys have me scared sometimes i don't know why every time i open a package i still get the same feeling where i'm like oh my gosh i don't know what it's gonna be so beantown buddies
