ImJayStation

In 2020, he was criticized for a video in which he faked the death of his girlfriend Alexia Morano to increase views on the platform. He was later arrested for assault and assault with a weapon, and is due to appear in Toronto's Old City Hall on March 16, 2020.

In February 2020, following the demonetization of his videos and criticism from the YouTube community, Ethier apologized for his past errors and announced his departure from the platform.

In January 2020, Ethier falsely claimed to his YouTube audience that his girlfriend at the time, fellow YouTuber Alexia Marano, had been killed by a drunk driver in Toronto, Canada. Subsequent videos – originally presented as genuine by Ethier – show him visiting a makeshift memorial and attempting to contact her from the grave by using an ouija board. Due to the outlandish and incredulous nature of the claims made by Ethier in other videos in the past (such as claiming to have bought children and slaves off the dark web, summoned dead animals, and become decapitated using a voodoo doll), many viewers and YouTubers were suspect of the claims.

In a video posted on January 26, 2020, Ethier claimed Morano had been in on the scam from the beginning. He said Morano had left him and took her belongings with her, and that police arrived at his home to notify Ethier that Morano had accused him of assault and assault with a weapon. Marano said on Twitter that she was "just a little girl caught in the crossfire". Toronto Police confirmed that a warrant for Ethier's arrest was issued on February 3, that Ethier had been arrested and charged, and that he would appear in court on March 16 in Toronto's Old City Hall on charges of assault and assault with a weapon. It is unclear if the charges relate to the hoax.

On February 25, 2020, following the demonetization of his videos by YouTube and criticism from the YouTube community for his death prank video, Ethier apologized for his past errors and announced his departure from the platform in a 13-minute-long video uploaded to his main channel called 'Goodbye...'. In the video, Ethier detailed his regrets from his YouTube career, from his paranormal vlogs faking communication with dead celebrities to his homophobic videos in which he drinks "gay potion". YouTube also confirmed to Insider that Ethier's channel had been demonetized one week before Ethier quit his channel, meaning that he could no longer derive income from his YouTube videos.

Ethier gained notoriety within the YouTube community over his attempts to contact dead celebrities through paranormal activities (notably ouija boards and 'spirit boxes') late at night (known as "3 a.m. challenges"), namely XXXTentacion and Mac Miller. In June 26, 2019, following the death of Etika in that month, Ethier uploaded a video using a similar clickbait title to his previous videos. However, in this video, he apologizes for the content of his past ouija board and celebrity death videos.

At around 6:30 p.m. on March 24, 2019, Ethier was arrested at Florida's Disney World on charges of trespassing and resisting arrest. He claims that he and a fellow YouTuber were in Florida filming haunted vlogs for future content.

Jason Ethier, better known as JayStation (born October 19, 1990 in Ottawa, Ontario), is a former controversial Canadian vlogger who gained prominence for his fake prank videos on the video-sharing website YouTube. Originally beginning his YouTube career in 2015, he deleted his account after it was demonetized by YouTube after he was arrested on five accounts of trespassing by Ottawa police. That same month, Ethier then re-started on YouTube under the channel name ImJayStation, re-uploading all of his content except the ones relating to his trespassing.
