TikTook has uncovered a ton of controversies in the previous yr. Some of that have been confirmations to long-running speculations, while some have been new revelations. Not all have been dark, although — like Doja Cat's confession that she lip-synced her Billboard Music Awards performance. Then there are the occasional conspiracy theories akin to that one about Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila.
But TikTokers surely quilt all types of exposé. For instance, a YouTuber not too long ago did a TikTook proving that Jane the Virgin grabbed an audio clip from her YouTube video with out permission. And it isn't taking a look good for the hit CW series. Netizens had been quick to name for justice, announcing that the creator should have been credited or paid.
The Scene In Question
In the season 1 finale of Jane the Virgin, Gina Rodriguez's personality, Jane Villanueva finally offers birth. Vulture described the episode as "modulated remarkably well." It no doubt left fanatics intrigued about what the next season would be like. "That moment and the birthing afterglow that follows is, without question, one of the most glorious moments the TV season will produce this year," wrote Libby Hill. "Full of pure, beautiful emotion, and the closest thing to joy that fiction is able to provide."
Hill added that the lifelike portrayal of giving start "is precisely what makes the final scene of 'Chapter Twenty-Two' so monstrous." The critic additionally raved about the well-written, very-soap-opera kidnapping plot. "All of the other plots are wholly in line with what you’d expect on a big season finale," she wrote. "Even a kidnapping isn’t so shocking on a run-of-the mill soap opera... But Mateo isn’t just a child, he’s a catalyst. He’s the reason the entire show exists. He is the true love and entire world of a character who we, as an audience, love more than life itself."
She went on to mention that Jane is a "role model" and "the best of what humanity is capable of while still remaining flawed and interesting and complicated." Unfortunately, that message most definitely does not resonate with lovers of YouTuber Jessica Skube (AKA JesssFam) after learning that her scream was once used with out her permission for Jane's exertions scene.
The Tea
In the first part of the TikTook video captioned "Story time & proof from when popular TV show Jane the Virgin used MY audio without me knowing," Skube green-screened her 2012 YouTube video titled, "Natural Unmedicated Twin Labor & Delivery!" The 32-minute clip has over Four million views. "Still the most intense labor and delivery vlog to this day 8 years later," a fan wrote in the feedback. The mini-documentary shows raw photos of Skube's adventure to giving delivery to her twins, Kyson and Kaden. "This was probably the hardest and most rewarding thing I'll ever do in my entire life and I'm lucky enough to have it all on video," the mother of five wrote in the caption.
The video also covers her delivery — screams and the whole lot. And because it turned out, part of her scream sounded precisely like the one in Jane the Virgin's labor scene. In the TikTok video, Skube repeatedly played the separate clips, personally and concurrently. It's arduous to forget about the proof suggesting that the content material writer's audio used to be indeed utilized by the CW series.
"They cant keep getting away with this smh," a fan wrote in the comments of the reposted TikTok. "Defo pursue this as you are meant to give consent, they give you credit and also money for "your part" and the fact they used a real birth clip in that way [as well] is messed up!" A large number of fans suggested the YouTuber to sue or "get that bag." One said that "the t&cs of uploading a video to YouTube probably strips you of a lot of rights/intellectual property etc."
Some naysayers argued that Skube's video is "online with no copyright warning so they therefore can use [it]." But a few netizens fall in between the whole issue. One wrote: "Idk, I mean if your YouTube is public....? But they should have at least put your name in the credits lol." Skube came upon about it when her fans despatched her a message about the season 1 finale when it aired in 2015.
In a 2017 vlog, she said she had no thought how manufacturing were given it and that she used to be never asked for permission. "I don't know if that's even legal," she mentioned. "I'm assuming it's not legal but I don't know what to do about that. I honestly think it was pretty cool. It would have been nice if they gave me a heads up, you know." Jane the Virgin hasn't issued a remark.
