When subscribers check to see Brie Lybrand's latest YouTube video, they're expecting to watch one of her typical, upbeat beauty and shopping tutorials. So when "The New Orleans Beauty Guru" posted her latest video entitled "A Message To My Rapist," the world took notice.
Lyrbrand, a former pageant star, appears shaken and makeup-free as she makes her unexpected announcement. "I just got an email from YouTube saying that the man who raped me for most of my life subscribed to me," she says with disgust. "The man that took my virginity, robbed me of an innocence has subscribed to me on YouTube and is watching my videos."
The aspiring actress and Tulane graduate looks directly into the camera as she reveals that it was her father who abused her. "My father, Steven Bressler, molested, tortured and raped me from the time I was four until I was 13 years old," she says.
As the video progresses, Lybrand describes how she grew up to become her high school's cheerleading captain, go to college and become both and actor and a teacher. One of the most shocking visuals of the clip comes when she displays the three guns she's purchased for protection. "I don't have to be afraid anymore. Let me show you my weapon collection, dad," she says. "I carry guns everywhere I go in case you decide to show up... You're never going to touch me again."

Warning -- the video is hard to watch. It made me cry.
This is the damage that rapists cause, especially the ones who rape kids.

I can't help but wonder why no one in her family was able to get justice?

an argument for the death penalty if there ever was one.
Death would be too good for the scumbag. I'd like to see him spend life in prison rooming with a huge assbandit cellmate named Butch McDick.
Good on Brie for going online to share her horror. What happened to her disgusts me beyond description.

How can you accept this at face value?
Perhaps she was horribly abused.. and if so why did she wait? She doesn't appear to have suffered any memory loss.
This could be an audition tape.
There was a fat RN.. a single mom at one of my hospitals .. all three of her daughter were knocked up by age 13...
She was venting and said "she suddenly remembered being molested by her father and that was the reason for her obesity"..
This young woman is in control of her faculties.. Why did she wait for a YouTube moment?
My sister used Facebook.
I don't believe anyone "suddenly remembers being molested". Children who are abused at a young tend to be withdrawn. They keep these things to themselves. Especially if the ones committing these heinous acts are the ones who are supposed to be protecting them.

Assuming that it's true, am I the only person that really isn't surprised by the turn of events?
The guy is her dad. Yes, he's a terrible human being, and he should be in jail for the rest of his life if he raped his daughter as a child, but she's still his biological child. I don't find it that unusual that he's still interested in her life and that he subscribed to her youtube channel to keep up to date on what she's doing.
You're assuming two things here that you really shouldn't when it comes to child abuse cases: the first, of course, is that the family court system is even remotely competent or functional... and the second is that her family actually wanted justice.
Incest like this is unforgivable. The only thing this man can do now to enhance this woman's life is to stay the hell away from her.
