On October 29, YouTube beauty guru Brie Lybrand, aka MyRedSolara, uploaded a video to her YouTube channel that is very different than the vibrant, upbeat makeup tutorials, shopping hauls, and fashion videos she usually posts.  The video, called ‘A Message To My Rapist’, is directed at Lybrand’s father and is going viral today.

Lybrand made the video after receiving an email notification that her father, Steven Bressler, subscribed to her YouTube channel.  A father subscribing to his daughter’s YouTube channel wouldn’t usually signify anything out of the ordinary, but Lybrand has not seen her father since she was thirteen years old, following a nine year stretch in which he raped, molested and tortured her and her mother.

In the video, Lybrand acknowledges that this video is very different than what she usually posts but says, “I feel like it’s time and it needs to be said.”
