Watched the doc last night (having never heard of this girl) and I was massively underwhelmed by the 'scandal'

She basically held and cancelled some expensive workshops, got over some secret drug habit and some of her captions were co-written? I dunno, I've followed some influencers who imo are way more toxic and fake than this!

Very late but just watching a vice documentary about her, this is so bizarre
