Remove Andy Signore of Popcorned Planet from YouTube for Sexual Harassment

The Issue

I, as the creator of this petition, am deeply disturbed by the actions and behavior of Andy Signore, the host of Popcorned Planet on YouTube. In late 2021, I became a moderator on his channel after being drawn to it during the "Free Britney" movement. However, my experience with Andy quickly turned into a nightmare.

On October 28, 2021, Andy Signore started making sexual advances towards me besides being able to clearly tell I was uncomfortable. Due to Power dynamics and being in a vulnerable position after leaving a bad marriage, He continued to make inappropriate comments about finding me attractive. As someone who joined his channel to engage in meaningful discussions about pop culture and current events, I was taken aback by his unprofessional behavior.

Despite my clear expression that I wished to maintain a platonic relationship with him on November 8th, 2021, he continued to pursue me relentlessly. Andy offered me a ticket to fly down to Florida when his partner would be out of town, I told him I couldn't, he tried to get me to find a babysitter, etc. I told him I couldn't. He also asked that I watch he and his partner have sex in his hotel during a weekend when he visited Chicago, Il. On numerous occasions he would ask me to watch him masturbate through Zoom, sometimes before he was about to go live on YouTube. If I told him no, Andy would say, "Can't you go to the bathroom, and lock the door?" etc. I was on Eggshells constantly, and afraid to say anything for fear of what had happened to another woman at Screen Junkies. On November 13, 2021 - Andy found out I knew about another woman, and sent me a secret chat, through telegram asking me if I could see that he took a screenshot, I said yes. He said, "thank God, she has nothing on me". After this, I took a screenshot, and said, did it tell you I took a screenshot? He told me I didn't need to do that. But I had already done it.

It became evident that my discomfort meant nothing to him as he persisted in making advances towards me.

He hired John Hubbard to run background checks on women and went back 20 years for my record in an attempt to silence and blackmail me. 

The situation escalated further when Andy sent me a masturbation video on November 28th, 2021. This act crossed all boundaries of decency and respectability. It is utterly unacceptable for anyone in a position of influence like Andy Signore to engage in such explicit and non-consensual behavior.

Sadly, my story is not an isolated incident. Since his firing from Screen Junkies in 2017 due to similar allegations against him at that time (which were all swept under the rug and caused women to continue to be harassed and bullied online), Myself, and other women have come forward with their own experiences of sexual coercion by Andy Signore.

It is crucial that we take action against individuals who abuse their power and prey upon vulnerable individuals within online communities. By allowing someone like Andy Signore to continue operating on YouTube without consequences sends a dangerous message - one that condones sexual harassment, coercion, and misconduct. YouTube, along with Andy Signore's enablers are allowing this man to continue to harass and coerce women.

We call upon YouTube executives and decision-makers to remove Andy Signore from the platform immediately. This is not a matter of silencing someone's voice or stifling creative expression; it is about protecting the safety and well-being of individuals within the YouTube community.

We demand that YouTube takes a firm stance against sexual harassment by enforcing strict policies and guidelines, ensuring that creators who engage in such behavior are held accountable for their actions. The platform must prioritize the safety and respect of its users, fostering an environment free from harassment and intimidation.

Sign this petition to join me in urging YouTube to remove Andy Signore from Popcorned Planet due to his repeated acts of sexual harassment towards me and other women. Together, let us send a message that we will not tolerate such behavior within our online communities.

Andy Signore is also flagging YouTube channels, that are now being deleted, or receiving strikes against their YouTube Channels for speaking out against him. YouTube continues to let Andy Signore have a channel even though He has been accused more than once of sexual harassment. Andy Signore has recently received backlash for raising funds on His platform to go to #Montecito California, to harass #MeghanMarkle, and #PrinceHarry with Signs shouting, "we want privacy". which in turn, is another form of harassment, and invasion of privace, ironically.
