00:00From YouTube royalty to front page controversy, the Ace family is back in headlines. This time,
00:05it's Austin McBroom breaking his silence after explosive claims from ex-wife Catherine Pays
00:10in her new memoir titled Dolores. The Ace family, including Austin, Catherine, and their three
00:16children, burst onto the scene in 2016 with wholesome family content that quickly went viral.
00:21Their name ACE, an acronym for Austin, Catherine, and their first daughter Elle,
00:25became synonymous with YouTube's success. With over 18 million subscribers, fans fell in love with
00:31their luxury lifestyle, pranks, and picture-perfect moments.
00:35Hey, Ace family!
00:37What were you thinking?
00:38What? It's so contrary!
00:40Period blood? That's disgusting!
00:43Wow!
00:45But behind the smiles, Business Insider reports there were lawsuits, a failed music festival,
00:50dubbed YouTube's Fyre Fest, an attempted company coup, and even a mansion foreclosure.
00:55By 2023, their once shiny brand had lost its luster, and in early 2024, reports date Austin
01:02and Catherine officially called it quits. Now Catherine is telling her side of the story
01:06in a revealing new book, and it's got fans shocked. According to leaked pages of the book
01:12that are circulating online, Catherine opens up about being pregnant with her third child
01:16and discovering Austin had been unfaithful, describing the moment as, quote,
01:20The realization wasn't an explosion. It was slower, heavier, a knife to the gut that didn't cut fast,
01:26but pressed in, deeper and deeper, until I could feel it in my bones, or rather my heart.
01:31The memoir continued,
01:32It wasn't just the betrayal. It was a realization I had been living a lie. That our life, the one we built
01:38with camera angles and clickbait and perfectly timed edits, was hollowing out beneath me. An illusion
01:44created for millions to see, but never for me to truly live. Some fans have come to Catherine's defense
01:49as one ex-user wrote,
01:51I don't know how men willingly cheat when they have a great partner who they built a family and empire
01:55with at home. While another ex-user who sided with Austin stated,
01:59I love the ace family. I love Catherine so much, but I think I'm on Austin's side after watching
02:05his snaps. According to Austin's Snapchat video response, McBroom states he was blindsided by
02:11Catherine's book. It comes to me stepping out of my marriage. I did. I 100% stepped out of my
02:18marriage and it was completely wrong for me to do it. You're acting like she had no idea what was
02:22going on. That is a complete lie. The video continued with him sharing old video clips and private
02:28messages, insisting the memoir distorts the truth and is being used to monetize their past.
02:34Austin even raised concerns about Catherine hosting spiritual retreats involving Ayahuasca,
02:39a psychedelic plant brew, stating he's now taking on more parental responsibility to protect them.
02:44Despite the drama, Austin says he's done with a back and forth, stating,
02:48I am in a completely new chapter of my life. While reports State McBroom previously stated,
02:53he would be, quote, dedicated to myself, my kids, my health, my body, my mind, my spirit, and God.
03:00While online reactions continue to be divided, some feel this is just, quote, this family trying to
03:06stay relevant again. But what do you think? Share your thoughts below and follow us everywhere at
