Controversies

Using Racial Slurs and Homophobic Terms

She came under fire around February 201 as captures of her old messages dated August 2016 surfaced on the internet. Those messages contained racist and homophobic language.

She uploaded apology in February 12, citing that she was ashamed of the racist thetoric and derogatory language.

Since then, the apology video was set private.

Ableist Allegations Against People with Service Dogs

In May 22, 2021, she posted a TikTok video titled Illegal Life Advice.

In the video, she said, “If a service dog ever approaches you but they’re alone, that means that their owner’s in trouble and they probably can’t move. So you should follow them because you’ll get a free wallet.”

Service dog is a specifically trained animal to help people with disabilities when they experience medical emergencies, such as injury, seizure, fall, diabetic episode, and more. In these cases, the the dog will assist them when cued by the question “where?” or “what?”

Thus, some people felt that the video is harmful and ableist.

Quotes

“Sometimes I get help from my family, like the time I decided to sell merch and need help packaging the product. Other than that though everything you see online is me.”

“The word Jayus is an Indonesian word for “something so unfunny you can’t help but laugh” or “someone who tries too hard to be funny”. While I was looking for a name online that was short and easy to remember I came across this and thought that it fit my personality well.”

“My parents, after noticing how much I liked to be in front of the family’s home video camera, bought me my own video camera. My little sisters and I would use this to make funny skits to show our parents.”

“The main reason why I decided to pursue content creation as a full-time job was when I was fired from my sales job at Best Buy.”

“There is a quote that my dad has always said for years and even had written above our garage door when I was a kid. “Much is never dared because it seems hard, much seems hard because it is never dared “.”

“I fear failure. I’m afraid that this slightly longer “15 minutes of fame” will go away and I won’t have any control over it.”

“I love making content, so I don’t think I’d ever stop doing that, but making content is a lot more fun when you have an audience watching.”

“For someone that wants to get into content creation the best advice that I could give you is to make yourself stand out from everyone else.”

“Find a niche and make it yours. There are millions of people trying to make it big, but they’re never going to get there doing the same things that have already been done before.”
