On top of being autistic due to traumatic events from her childhood, she suffered from borderline personality disorder. Her emotional instability was a topic candidly discussed in her videos.


The YouTube personality she was far and away the most infatuated with with Social Repose or as he goes by in real life for Richard. In a video posted by him in May of 2017, entitled: “I might have to move out”, Richard showed a satellite picture of his house.

He joked that his location was so far off and secluded that if anyone could track it down and show up, he would reward them with a congratulatory glass of milk.
