  • Why aren’t the people who sexual assaulted Kat in jail

    Great story! Horrible what she did, but at the end of the day why is no one looking at her claims of sexual abuse as a child?! Those men or women are still probably free doing the same thing to other young women whose lives will be altered forever. Wish the story would have dived further and explored her claims to get additional justice.

  • Don’t Cross Kat

    Kat was proof that whatever is on the internet or in socials is not always true. What does an influencer truly want? Fame and money—an influencer is no different than advertising and marketing. Chico did have a good podcasting voice. Kat is no different than a lot of other influencers other than she took it steps deeper by trafficking.
