Charlene Kathy Dorlean, better known by her social media moniker "Charlie Gold," is a morbidly obese youtuber whose content primarily consists of reaction videos shaming other deathfats marginally larger than herself. Historically, Charlie's favorite target has been Amberlynn Reid-- though recently she has turned more of her attention towards Chantal Sarault aka Foodie Beauty.
Not unlike other reaction channels that showcase fatties attacking slightly fatter fatties, registered republican Charlie claims to have a special insight into her targets' lives and the motivations behind their self-sabotaging behaviors. Charlie feels that because she has (allegedly) lost a lot of weight, her commentary should be taken as authoritative or constructive, but never as bullying or hatred.
At first Charlie's youtube channel didn't get much attention, not even when she made an video ranting about the one time Amberlynn wrote "nigga" on Tumblr nearly 10 years ago. [this video is seemingly lost to time; if you have an archive, speak up] Charlie's initial boost in viewership came when popular fitness youtubers started giving Charlie shine. They seemed to appreciate seeing an obese person on the platform who shunned the fat acceptance movement and was dedicated to improving herself. Despite this exposure, what really caused Charlie's channel to explode in popularity was, of course, Amberlynn Reid.
In the spring of 2019 Amberlynn was in the midst of a self-imposed challenge with the goal of uploading a youtube video each day, 100 days in a row. Since the videos went up at the same time each day, various youtubers would livestream their reactions to AL 's videos (and get some of that super chat coin). There was one day when ALR's upload was late by several hours and in that time, thousands of whale watchers had found their way to Charlie's stream. And while the stream itself was unremarkable most of those viewers became devoted fans (stream archive)
Like most reaction channels, Charlie's insights devolved over time into petty nitpicking, because there are only so many different ways you can say "lol fat" before it gets repetitive. It's something to be expected in this niche genre of videos, and fans typically aren't bothered. However, Charlie's fans--and certainly her detractors-began to notice that despite her boasting and bloviating, she was failing to lose any weight.
Pictured here are various "haydur" meetups, Charlie seemingly hasn't lost any weight since starting youtube [**]
First video on her channel vs now
In early December 2019, Charlie created a weight loss challenge and urged Amberlynn to join her.
Charlie's rules:
Predictably. Amberlynn never acknowledged the challenge but oddly enough, Amberlynn actually did lose weight over the holidays while by all accounts Charlie did not.
Winner: Amberlynn Reid
February 12, 2020, Charlie claims she fainted, fell, and messed up her face. Because of this, Charlie said she wouldn't be filming for a while.
Even Charlie's fans were skeptical about this story; it seemed as though Charlie was trying to stall for time and hide from her audience. But why? Ultimately fans could do nothing but wait and speculate as Charlie let her face "heal" enough to come back to youtube. Or until...
February 19, 2020, Charlie was doxed by @C3PBRO and a "mysterious newfag."
She is a retail sales consultant for AT&T since 2013, but since she has moved back to FL recently it's possible that is no longer the case.
Her most recent address;
7621 Southern Brook Bend
APT 201
Tampa, FL 33635
For some reason google puts the address in a gator swamp so I have refined it here in images. The apartment lot is named "Veranda at Westchase." Note the staircase in the floor plan.
I was really confused about the address for a while, she is also listed at another address in CT though it could just be that she left and still receives mail there. It seems the courts were confused by this too, as you will see below. There is no doubt she lived there though. She is a registered republican at this address;
1492 North AVE
APT 202
Bridgeport,
CT 06604 zillow link shows the last move out was in Nov 2017
Her mugshot reads 310lbs, but evidently that number is either self-reported at time of arrest, or pulled from Charlies driver's license. In any case we don't know if 310 is her True & Honest weight
2019-06-21 She was a delinquent tenant at her Tampa apartment to the tune of up to $15k.
2019-10-21 She drove like an exceptional individual and didn't show up to court.
2019-10-22 Her charges were upgraded from civil traffic to criminal traffic.
2019-11-06 Another court hearing Charlie didn't show up to, warrant issued.
2019-12-26 Charlie gets arrested, for a "failure to obey a written promise to appear". She was arrested at the following address; 1800 ORIENT RD, Hillsborough, FL. This place is a work release center for women. I don't know if she's a part of this program currently, but it would explain why she suddenly can't be on camera.
2020-04-20 is now the date by which she must pay her fines.
Tl;dr: Charlie owes 15K in back rent; is such a bad driver that her traffic violations were upgraded from civil to criminal offenses; blew off her court dates and a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was arrested right around Christmas so I imagine these legal issues are ongoing.
As far back as 2011, she was driving on a suspended license and wrecking other people's cars.
"high sidewalks"
Charlie attempts damage control, and mines pity points by emphasizing how poor she is.
Followed by attempts to seem unbothered:
The truth is, Charlie didn't have to work very hard to defend herself, in fact most people came to her defense.
Acting swiftly, just one week after being doxed Charlie pulled a Gabbie Hanna and cashed in on her meme with mugshot merch. AVAILABLE NOW!
And the next day, she announced a very vague project
Exhibit 1 and 2 of Charlie Gold being a massive hypocrite;
Charlie Gold and a crossfit vegan woo trainer named Shane-Ashley Vega started a GoFundMe(a) because fat. Sadly, the total sought and description of the GFM were scrubbed by the creator, but one glorious facebook shitlord copy-pasted the description into the comments solely to tear it down for how ridiculous it was.
TL;DR: Charlie Gold was begging for money so she could go to some woo spa in Hawaii for eight months to lose weight. In addition, she and the trainer wanted money to film it as a professional documentary, and to pay Charlie's rent (lol) while she was away from home.
Vegafit Recovery, a spa that has nothing to do with weight loss. The owner is a borderline lolcow, harnessing the power of nipple stickers, psycho-acoustics and red lights to do... something. It'll make you feel better? He also shills branding consulting and graphic design on the side, because something tells me his woo clinic isn't very busy. If you'd like an example of his exceptional branding and graphic design, you can check out his Vegafit Instagram.
Charlie ebegged celebrities including Ellen, Oprah, Kimye, etc. To fund her Hawaii vacation.
February 25, 2020: Charlie addressing GFM on twitter
When asked if she gave the money back, Charlie replies "no lol it was mostly from family"
In the aftermath of Charlie getting doxed, several youtubers in the reactmoshpere have spoke up to defend Charlie, most notably Omegon, who is very angry at kiwi farms and refers it as "cancer" ... despite sourcing all material for his videos from this forum (hi @Secret Moisty !!)
Recently Charlie has expressed the idea that she'd like to diversity-hire Shane Dawson out of a job and develop her own docu-series! The subject will be weight loss of course. This is totally not another crowdfunding scam to pay for an extended vacation in Hawaii. No, no no. This time it's the real deal gorls, so get ready to open up those off-season Michael Kors bags. pull out your irregular Coach wallet from TJ Maxx and donate for a great cause! GoFundMe launching soon, stay tuned!
