* February 2013 was... not kind for Allison. She received death threats from Spoony's obsessed fans (who, the rest of the fandom [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome has disavowed entirely]]) in retaliation for getting him "fired" TGWTG (despite Noah stating [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2012/09/15/to-boldly-flee-part-1-spoony-commentary/ multiple]] [[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/i6dop4 times]] that Lupa [[MisBlamed did not get him fired]] from TGWTG and have [[http://allisonpregler.tumblr.com/post/26601307257/apologies-and-moving-forward apologised]] to each-other). Allison had to go to the police, get security doors installed and sleep with the light on. She also took a week off from the internet. [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Lewis]] and [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle]] were ''[[PapaWolf pissed]]'', and called out the trolls on Tumblr and Twitter.
** In [[http://allisonpregler.tumblr.com/post/44695996579/life-goes-on this]] post Allison talks about the effects of [[XPacHeat being stigmatized on the internet]] since June 2012. Each of the female TGWTG contributors have gone through their respective hazings, but Lupa's trial by fire was harsher by far.
-->''Events from the past year have left a lasting mark on me and it’s something that’s likely to follow me for a long time. It’s easy to say I’m being over-dramatic, to just let it slide, but it wears on you, to hear what an awful person you are for a year, to have [[LoonyFan people follow you wherever you’ve touched]], to [[{{GIFT}} try and get that last dig in]]. It’s hard to have so called vigilantes follow you around to dole out justice for a situation they know none of the facts on, for something you didn’t do.''
* Another blow struck her in 2013 [[https://twitter.com/Obscurus_Lupa/status/364495630518849536 when her cat Checkers died at the age of 13]]. There was a huge outpouring of grief from both TGWTG fans and producers, who all remembered Checkers with fondness and offered support to Allison at this time.
* Alison getting shown the door by TGWTG webmaster Mike Michaud. Her [[http://allisonpregler.tumblr.com/post/108008749157/bye-ca tumblr post]] was the first reveal of the rot at Channel Awesome, but it all exploded in early 2018 when one comment too many about Doug led to her opening up more about the incident... which led to the infamous landslide that was #[=ChangeTheChannel=] which imploded all of Channel Awesome.
** This makes any of her cross-overs with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic painful to watch in hindsight. The bloopers for the ''Film/ATalkingCat'' review show her and Creator/DougWalker laughing and having fun. The flip side of it is that ''that was the video'' where his boss dragged her aside and threatened her while Doug and his father did nothing about it. So it's impossible to look at anything related to that episode in a positive light, hence why she took the video down again when #[=ChangeTheChannel=] picked up steam.
* Another side effect of #[=ChangeTheChannel=], [[WeUsedToBeFriends Allison's personal and professional relationship with]] Creator/BradJones [[WeUsedToBeFriends ended over it]]. The only immediate element fans noticed was Allison's unexplained absence from the regular cast of ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'', especially on the kinds of movies she would normally review. Then Brad decided to publicly drag her through the mud in an episode of ''WebOriginal/DoubleToasted'', something he repeated during a later episode of ''Midnight Screenings'' with Creator/DougWalker present. He would also later blame her for death threats sent his way. It is ''very'' difficult to watch their older material together as friends knowing how hard Brad would turn on her.

Allison had to go to the police, get security doors installed and sleep with the light on. She also took a week off from the internet. [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Lewis]] and [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle]] were ''[[PapaWolf pissed]]'', and called out the trolls on Tumblr and Twitter.

* Her Cameo in [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle's]] 50th Review. She was asked to come up with anything, and improved herself telling Kyle how much he sucks. Considering this starts Kyle's DespairEventHorizon (Various other cameos and the movie itself don't help), but considering how they were at least scripted... ''Jesus, Lupa''.

* In her 100th episode review of ''Film/EvilDead2'', several demon-possessed TGWTG contributors appear and tell her how much she and her videos suck. Though Lupa did put that together herself, it was still really hard to watch.

* February 2013 was... not kind for Allison. She received ''[[MoralEventHorizon death threats]]'' from [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]'s VocalMinority FanDumb (who the rest of the fandom [[MomentOfAwesome has disavowed entirely]]) who were still pissed about him not being on TGWTG (despite Noah stating [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2012/09/15/to-boldly-flee-part-1-spoony-commentary/ multiple]] [[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/i6dop4 times]] that Lupa [[MisBlamed did not get him fired]] from TGWTG and have [[http://obscuruslupa.tumblr.com/post/26601307257/apologies-and-moving-forward apologised]] to each-other), and she had to go to the police, get security doors installed and sleep with the light on. She also took a week off from the internet, and eventually revealed it all on a [[http://obscuruslupa.tumblr.com/post/44695996579/life-goes-on Tumblr post]]. [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Lewis]] and [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle]] were ''[[PapaWolf pissed]]'', and called out the fans on Tumblr and Twitter.
** In the post Lupa talks about the effects of living with NeverLiveItDown, which show the very sad side of this trope as Lupa reveals how she feels about the [[XPacHeat criticism she's received]] since June 2012. Each of the female TGWTG contributors have gone through their respective hazings, but Lupa's trial by fire was harsher by far.

* Alison getting fired by [[BadBoss Mike]] [[PointyHairedBoss Michaud]]. Her [[http://obscuruslupa.tumblr.com/post/108008749157/bye-ca tumblr post]] explains it all.
