Shiloh Forgot Me was a highly controversial video uploaded by Greg in June 2011. The video featured Greg trying to help Shiloh as she has a seizure-like episode followed by memory loss. The video received a ton of criticism and caused a lot of drama.

Video

On June 23, 2011, Greg uploaded a video titled "Shiloh Forgot Me". In the video, Greg explains that he could not upload a video that day due to a strange episode Shiloh had after a fight. In the video we follow Greg as he tries to help Shiloh as she is having some kind of seizure. As she is laying in her bed she repeats seemingly random and childish phrases such as "I want to make a rainbow". Later, he decides to edit a video while recording himself and Shiloh wakes up scared of him. They figure out she lost 3 years of her memory. After catching up by looking at friends and family members' photos on Facebook, Greg reminded her she was a vegetarian and gave her vegan cheese. The video was narrated with white text over a black background. (Source)

The video was soon deleted due to the backlash it received.

Backlash

Many people that watched the video criticized Greg's decision to record her instead of calling an ambulance. Others were deeply upset by the content and sent them well wishes. While many others thought it was faked for views.

Other criticisms the video received was that he was exploiting and attempting to profit off of her illness. Another being his seemingly strange priority of making sure she remembered she was a vegetarian.

Defense

"I Respect Her Wishes" ($ource)

That same day, Greg uploaded a video titled "I Respect Her Wishes" to his OnisionSpeaks channel. In the video he explains why he did not have Shiloh seek medical help for her memory loss while Shiloh prepares food in the background. He explains that if he had memory loss he would not want to go to a doctor. He also explains that a doctor could not help her because they already know her memory loss is triggered by stress. He says she is already getting memories back and she doesn't want to feel like a lab rat. He says that proves that he made the right decision in not calling an ambulance. He goes on to repeat himself and talk about how they now have a dog, Freya. ($ource)

Shiloh blogged about her memory loss on her Draculoh Blogspot. On June 23, 2011, she blogged about how she had lost 3 years of her memory the day before. She says the last thing she remembers is talking to her ex-boyfriend when she was 15 in 2008. She says she didn't recognize Greg and threatened to hit him with large objects until he was able to show her proof of who he was. She said they Skyped with Damon because she knew him for years. She talks about how later that night she felt a connection with Greg and she says she trusts him. She ends it with defending him for not taking her to a doctor. (Source)

On June 25, 2011, Shiloh made a video (now deleted) and a blog post explaining why she did not want to be taken to the doctors. She says that they made her feel like she was not human. She also talks about how she had been misdiagnosed many times and knows why she had the memory loss. She explains it is her body's defense mechanism to handle large amounts stress and that it happened before. (Source) That same day she posted another blog about the memories she's been getting back. She says that she's only been able to remember bad memories and fights she had with Greg. She says she feels like she is slipping into a depression. (Source)

Aftermath

Greg now claims that Shiloh faked it, even though he believed it was real at the time. (Source)
