  • The Story of Carli Bybel and Her Old Friend, DJ Sam

    The Story of Carli Bybel and Her Old Friend, DJ Sam

    The rooftop

    Many many years ago, when I started watching Carli Bybel‘s videos, an interesting detail from one of her videos caught my attention. She was talking (and drawing) about a tough period in her life and one about the fact that night she was sitting on a rooftop with her friend, Sam, both unhappy and searching a way to fulfill their dreams. It was then, on the rooftop, when Carli decided to start a Youtube Channel and Sam decided to follow a career in DJing.

    The rooftop, the night, the decisions… I don’t know why I’ve always found this picture mysterious and interesting.

    Who is Sam?

    Carli mentioned Sam in her first Youtube videos and she even featured her in a video.

    They knew each other since high school, but didn’t really talk back then. They started their friendship on October 2010 and six years later, in 2016, Carli stated in one of her videos that Sam is her current best friend.

    Sam’s real name is Samantha Morales. She is from New Jersey and went to the same high school as Carli did.

    Here is a video in which Carli creates a Selena Gomez makeup on Sam. They seem to have fun.

    This is a video from 2012. Since then, Sam has been gradually disappearing from Carli’s stories and she has been replace with Carli’s old friend, Nicole.

    On Nicole’s Instagram I’ve found this amazing picture from 2012. Three friends at the beginning of their lives, having fun, going through their ups and downs, being together, growing apart…

    What is Sam doing now?

    Sam did follow her career as a DJ, but if you search her on internet as “DJ Sam” you won’t find her because she signes herself as “DJ Sammi” or “DJ Samantha Morales”.

    You can follow her on Instagram.

    She also works a Licensed Real Estate Broker.

    Samantha lives and works in Jersey City.

    Is she still friends with Carli?

    As you can see from her Instagram, both Carli and Nicole follow her and they both still like Sammi’s photos.

    Maybe the continue to be in good terms, but I don’t think they are friends anymore.

    Conclusions

    I think it is very interesting to see how these three women (Carli, Sammi, Nicole) evolved over time. I am grateful to them because they’ve been sharing scrapes from their lives.

    I also think that their friendships could start again sometime. I think they have so much in common and that they could eventually overcome their disagreements. And even if their friendships wouldn’t be renewed, at least they did share a nice friendship and this is something that not everyone could say.

    What happened with Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino?

    If you’re here because you were wondering about the current relation between Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino, it means that you already know who the two are, thus I will skip the introductions.

    Sorry if I might be a little bit offtrack, but I need to go round a bit in order to understand what happened between them.

    Carli’s current videos and friends

    It’s been a long time since Carli posted a video with Nicole (Moo). She also doesn’t mention her anymore. Instead, Carli features in her videos her family (father, mother, sister, little cousin) and her boyfriend, Anthony Tango.

    She also did a work-out video with a girl that wasn’t featured before. I think she might be one of the “new” friends, but I don’t think it lasted. The girl was named “Coach Aly” and Carli said that they’ve been working-out together for a year.

    Carli also “donated” her old Youtube account to her sister, in order to give her the opportunity to become an Youtuber as well.

    So, no trace of Moo in Carli’s current videos.

    P.S. In Carli’s first Vlog, she mentioned she has a best friend, named “Sam”, who is a DJ and who basically lives with her.

    She then featured her in a video, transforming her into “Selena Gomez” but the friendship between Carli and Sam didn’t last long.

    Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino throughout the videos

    Carli’s last video featuring Moo was posted in Nov, 29th, 2018.

    They seemed annoyed, something was off in this video and I think things weren’t going pretty neat between them at this point.

    P.S. I absolutely LOVE about Carli that she never ever deleted her old videos. I hate when youtuber’s do that. It’s like a television show that deletes some episodes and you can never ever see them again. Respect Carli for keeping stuff up.

    In an old Vlog, Carli told that she has been friends with Nicole since Middle school. She even drew a heart around C & N.

    On Instagram, the last photo Carli has posted with Moo was on April, 2019.

    What is Nicole Gandino doing now?

    Nicole has been really quiet on her social media pages.

    Seven months ago, Nicole created her Youtube page. I was really excited because I like her, but unfortunately she posted only two videos and then stopped.

    Her last Instagram photo was this:

    Could the quarrel be boyfriend related?

    No, definitely not. Or at least not in the sense that Nicole would attempt at Anthony or Carli at Nicole’s boyfriend.

    Conclusions

    Nicole Gandino isn’t the first friend that just disappeares from Carli’s life. Same happened with DJ Sam.

    1. Sometimes people grow apart and the most sane thing to do is to cut the ropes.
    2. Other times people tend to envy their friends and start to try to bring them down, and then again the easiest (maybe not the best) thing you could do is cut the ropes.
    3. And then there is this situation when success makes you crazy and friends can’t keep up with your moods.

    We can’t really know what cause the “divorce” between Carli and Nicole. Maybe these three possibilities mix together, maybe there is just one, maybe there is something else.

    I personally think that friendships should be guarded, and even if things get bad, one should make the effort to keep the relationship up. Up at this point and no more. When the relationship becomes really toxic and you really can’t do anything more about it, then there is no other option. You have to press the “stand by” button. I didn’t say “stop” button, because people can change and, unlike a romantic relationship, you can have in the same time several friends. So, if the problems resolves itself, you can win your friend back, even if it is after 10 years.
