Finding great entertainment for your children that isn't violent, overly sexual, or filled with curse words can feel sometimes feel like a terribly daunting task for a parent. This is why so many moms and dads rejoiced at the discovery of the YouTube channel DisneyCollectorBR. For those who are unfamiliar, this channel features videos of a manicured woman's hands opening children's toys. That's it. Viewers see hands putting toys together and playing with them, all while a slightly accented female voice speaks in a very soothing tone. The videos on the channel have become required viewing for toddlers through early elementary school age kids. "Unboxing" videos, as they are called, seem to replicate the anticipatory feeling that everyone has right before they open a present. DisneyCollectorBR's channel has 3.7 million subscribers and her videos have been viewed over 5 billion times. The channel's unbelievable popularity has made DisneyCollectorBR one of the highest-earning YouTube stars in the world.
What's perhaps even crazier is the fact that, up until recently, no one has known ANYTHING about the real identity of the person behind the channel. She has never shown her face or mentioned her name. It turns out DisneyCollectorBR… might actually be a retired Brazilian adult film star.
The world was shocked last week when it was revealed that DisneyCollectorBR and her husband, who has his own channel, BluCollection, reportedly earn upwards of $13 million a year from their videos. She and her husband have managed to remain almost completely anonymous since they launched their channels in 2012. With the exception of a recent response to a blog post confirming that the couple is based in Florida near Disney World, and that they are a Brazilian couple in their 40s, nothing else has ever been revealed about their identities.
Though just about every multi-channel network on the planet has tried to track them down and buy their channels, DisneyCollectorBR and BluCollection, have managed to remain completely out of the limelight and almost completely unreachable. They've been raking in millions, while still being able to go to the movies without being harassed by the paparazzi, and their subscription base will continue to grow as long as people keep making babies. This is DisneyCollectorBR's most popular video, it has been viewed 212 million times:
However, with the revelation of DisneyCollectorBR's former career, that may come to a screeching halt. It's safe to say that no one who was plunking their child down in front of the computer for their daily dose of first person toy unboxing ever thought that the person who made the videos was actually formerly involved in the adult industry. DisneyCollectorBR has been revealed to be Daiane DeJesus, also known Sandy Summers, former adult star:
To her neighbors, she was Daiane DeJesus, a suburban housewife living with her husband, Messias Credidio. The couple was married on December 26th, 2013, and they have an 18-month-old son. Neighbors first began to be curious about the couple, when delivery trucks started arriving at their door as often as three times per day. They began to suspect the couple was behind DisneyCollectorBR and BluCollection, based on the vocal similarities in the videos and DeJesus' nail designs. The adult connection came a bit later.
After some neighbors stumbled across a photoshoot in the DeJesus/Credido's backyard, questions began to arise. A few neighbors, made the connection. It was later corroborated when the DailyMail approached Credido's ex-wife, Maribel Barreto, and asked her to confirm that Credido and DeJesus were the Disney Collectors. She said they were, but then blanched and ran away when asked if DeJesus and Summers were the same person. Pictures of Sandy Summers and Daiane DeJesus would appear to make the connection pretty solid. Will this latest revelation affect viewership? Will it affect ad sales? It's clear that DeJesus, Summers, or whatever her name actually is, has moved on from her former life. In fact, it would seem that it has been six years since she was actively involved in the adult industry. Should it be an issue at this point? Will it ultimately topple her and her husband from their "unboxing" thrones? Only time will tell.
