November 23, 2025
On November 23rd, ibio75 published a collection of private messages he had received from Alexey over an extended period. Shortly after, OneMoreAnimator published his own set of DMs, and he later confirmed that Ibio’s leak was what prompted him to share his as well.
ZacDoor also published a post the same day.
These messages, spanning from mid 2024 through mid 2025, represented some of the most direct evidence available of Alexey’s state of mind and his situation with Invisible Narratives during that period. They were not sent with the intention of being public.
The Messages
The leaked messages covered a wide period across 2024 and 2025. In them, Alexey appeared to speak candidly to people he trusted, while still avoiding a full explanation of the situation.
Alexey would later confirm the messages legitimacy to Aftermath. Here they are, in chronological order.
July 29, 2024, Garry’s Mod Strike
When the Garry’s Mod DMCA situation became public, ibio reached out to Alexey directly. Alexey confirmed that someone had sent a DMCA on his behalf, but stated that Inviz told him they hadn’t sent anything recently and that he didn’t know what had happened.
This aligned with what was already publicly suspected, that the strike had not come from Alexey himself, and that even he appeared to be in the dark about who had filed it.
October 1, 2024, “It wasn’t my decision and idea”
During a discussion about a community campaign tied to a date spotted in the Skibidi Toilet multiverses, ibio shared his perspective on how to handle the situation. Alexey’s reply was brief and telling: “It wasn’t my decision and idea.”
December 19, 2024, “No bueno”
When Ibio asked how Alexey was doing, he replied with a “no bueno” gif, followed by: “Very disgusting and horrible people entered my life, and I can’t do anything with it.” After Ibio followed up, Alexey said simply: “I can’t really tell, sorry“, and sent a meme of a gif saying “The Devil Himself“.
February 22, 2025, “Talking to a wall”
This is one of the most significant messages in the leak. When ibio asked if Alexey was okay, he replied:
“Nothing is ok 😭🙏” “I’m just this 🤏 close to crash out 💀”
He then elaborated: “Problem is not with people wanting episodes and the mf that striked. That’s all not things that just weight down. Problem is people who I work with and who they are. I’m feeling like I’m being scammed, lied to, paranoid. All the time. It’s the way they talk, the way they treat things, their prices, their actual means and possibilities. I feel trapped, and I hate that feeling. And people I looked up to in the past are actually people I don’t want to work with.“
To many, this made many fans feel Alexey’s issues were much clearer. It wasn’t fans, it wasn’t strikes (hinting towards Next Level Apps). It was those he worked with that weighed him down.
Alexey followed this revelation with: “It’s not like I never had these convos with them. It’s like talking to a wall, absolutely useless. Just no hope with them.“
May 7, 2025
According to the private business messages later leaked by Inviz in April 2026, this was the point where Alexey agreed to sell the Skibidi Toilet IP to Inviz entirely. The following interactions beyond this point are not just about deadlines or creative inclusion, they were happening during what appears to have been a major rights/ownership transition behind the scenes.
A day prior, Alexey had emailed a fan describing issues with Invisible Narratives directly.
May 31, 2025, Public Statement About Episode 79 Delay
During production of Skibidi Toilet 79 part 1, Alexey shared publicly that “things in real life” were requiring his attention and causing a brief delay to part 1. The post was measured and gave little away, but in a private follow-up he told ibio: “I’m fine. There are actual circumstances that can’t be delayed. It’s involving skibidi toilet though.“
June 6, 2025, the Bay Film Post and Clarification
Alexey posted publicly expressing deep frustration about the Michael Bay film project, stating he had not received any updates, had not seen any previews, and felt “completely isolated from process.” He described his hope as “dying with immense speed.“
This post was public at the time.
The same day, Alexey contacted ibio again. He said Inviz had told him there had been a misunderstanding, that Michael Bay was simply a perfectionist who didn’t like sharing pre-production material, and that Bay was about to post something. Alexey then asked ibio to remove the earlier disappointment message, and shared a new public statement describing himself as “hyped” about the project.
The contrast between the morning post and the evening post, and the fact that Alexey himself asked for the first one to be deleted the same day he spoke with Inviz, was noted with importance by the community. Ibio’s annotation speculated that the retraction may have followed behind-the-scenes pressure.
June 10, 2025, Dark Memes
Four days after the film-post reversal, Alexey sent ibio two dark memes, one depicting a hanging, one the “hide the pain Harold” meme.
After an unseen message from Ibio, apparently expressing concern, Alexey replied: “It’s not that definitely bro. I’m fine in this way, I’m just extremely angry on some people who I thought were my friends and partners😭”
“Don’t worry about me.”
July 10, 2025, “I stop myself every time”
This message is one of the clearest direct statements Alexey made about his inability to speak openly. When ibio raised the topic of his situation, Alexey replied:
“I’m unable to work on it the way I wanted to. The mood is not good, in particular related to work on skibidi toilet. All of that has come to me were not foreseen before, when I made promises. Some things are happening just now, and yet I can’t even tell under real circumstances what is happening. When the whole future of ST, my future, all of that at stake. It’s the most serious it ever was.“
He then added: “It’s awful seeing that I can’t share reasons and that people going mad and disappointed. I have insane amount of urge to tell and I stop myself everytime. This has to be the way it is now.“
Undated – “It’s been years”
Shared by OneMoreAnimator later in January 2026, Alexey speaks to Ibio even more candidly about his frustrations about his alleged lack of involvement in and knowledge regarding the movie/short film project.
Alexey notes that the CEO is his contact for these matters. When Ibio expresses worry about Alexey expressing his frustration, Alexey writes “I’m being reasonably upset. It’s been years.”
Regret and Financial Messages (~ July/August 2025)
Multiple additional messages were leaked by creator OneMoreAnimator, said to be from a period around the production of Skibidi Toilet episode 79 parts 2 and 3, putting these messages around July/August 2025. In them, Alexey made several statements about his financial situation that appeared to conflict with Inviz’s public framing.
Alexey expressed opinions about the current arrangement, not owning what he created, and regretting signing.
Alexey also spoke of his financial situation at the time, describing himself as “almost broke”, having given away monetisation and “not being paid out anything”.
Important note: This describes his situation during the 2023-2025 arrangement prior to the 2025 sale, Alexey has not made any comments or updates after this second sale took place.
These messages, read together, paint a picture of someone who had transferred ownership of his work, given away his channel’s monetisation, and was allegedly receiving little or nothing back. All the while at the same time Inviz were publicly describing the arrangement as a successful and mutually beneficial partnership.
August 17, 2025, Dattebayo Strikes
When Skibidi Toilet fan creator Dattebayo received a copyright strike filed by a scammer impersonating Invisible Narratives, ibio brought it to Alexey’s attention. Alexey confirmed that whoever sent the strike was not the same group behind the earlier “Telegram Mafia” attacks.
He added: “Dattebayo will expose it” and confirmed the hackers from before were different, though he couldn’t be completely certain.
DavidLB’s Discord Statuses
Around mid-to-late November 2025, Inviz partner DavidLB changed his Discord status three times in succession, each beginning with the word “bring”, mirroring the #BringBoomBack movement’s language. The three statuses were “Bring back the love”, “Bring the weekend!” and “Bring it on!”
ZacDoor posted about this directly, describing it as what he viewed as a deliberate provocation from Inviz, an attempt to mock the movement and make the protest seem ridiculous rather than engage with it. He noted that Adam Goodman had also participated in similar behaviour by liking comments on the Inviz side, though he later removed the likes, which ZacDoor read as Goodman realising he was making things worse.
