In 2025, she admitted to having weight-loss surgery. While critics argue that snark subreddits foster negativity and harassment, these forums also serve a purpose by calling out perceived inauthenticity among influencers. Social media researchers suggest that snark culture acts as a form of grassroots policing within the influencer landscape, shedding light on issues of accountability and transparency.
