00:00 You've seen Cash Me Outside girl Danielle Bregoli's appearance on Dr. Phil in
00:03 2016, and you've watched tons of Cash Me Outside remixes. She's now cashing in
00:07 with products, brand deals, and $40,000 appearances. Today we are asking, "Why are
00:13 people obsessed with Danielle Bregoli?" You can say the public fascination with
00:16 these types of crazy personalities started with the Jerry Springer Show,
00:20 which launched in 1991 and declared by one magazine as the worst show in the
00:24 history of television. Filled with profanity and guests who aren't afraid
00:28 to embarrass themselves on national TV, from yelling to punching one another and
00:32 more. Sounds familiar, right? And while you think viewers might have turned away
00:36 from such tasteless content, the exact opposite happened, and the result is now
00:40 known as the Jerry Springer Effect. Feeling better about your life and
00:43 relationships after watching the Jerry Springer Show or a similar program, and
00:47 witnessing how messed up the guests are and how poorly they treat each other.
00:51 Similar to our love of reality shows like The Real World, Jersey Shore, or The
00:55 Bachelor, people enjoy watching the chaos surrounding others. It's entertaining from
01:00 a safe distance, and it's a reminder that our own lives are so much better than
01:04 those we watch. Danielle, even without having her own show yet, offers us so
01:08 many opportunities to be reminded of just that. As well as a reminder of how
01:12 messed up America can be. Remember Honey Boo Boo? Same thing. When Danielle's first
01:16 TV appearance unexpectedly went viral on Dr. Phil, the show's team capitalized on
01:21 her popularity and did a follow-up episode. This reinforced Danielle's part
01:25 of the pop culture water cooler and gave her an opportunity to gain even more
01:28 followers, eager to see the crazy things she would say or do next. And boy did
01:33 Danielle deliver. Because you know what they say, do it for the meme. At 13 years
01:38 old, Danielle both looks and acts nothing like her age, and is constantly doing
01:41 crazy things that keep our attention. Whether it's punching a woman on Spirit
01:45 Airlines and getting kicked off the flight, twerking during a live broadcast,
01:48 starting a fight at a bar in Florida by throwing ice cream at a customer, or
01:52 fighting with her crazy mom. Danielle is constantly getting into trouble. Her thug
01:56 persona, explosive personality, inability to control herself or her anger, and the
02:01 crazy things she says and does makes it tough to turn away. Unfortunately,
02:05 Danielle's reckless behavior is our culture's latest addiction. But just
02:08 because the masses care to watch, does not mean they care about her well-being.
02:11 Recently her father came out to gain custody, saying her mother was unfit to
02:15 care for Danielle. Many have also spoken out about how wrong it is that someone
02:19 at her young age is being sexualized and given so much wrong attention. Well, we
02:24 agree. With 8 million followers and counting on Instagram, people seem to be
02:28 buying into it. She is now also officially developing a reality TV show.
02:32 But how long can this reality show last before it crashes and burns? Let us know
02:36 why you think people are obsessed with Danielle Bregoli and what we should
02:39 cover next.
