Essena O’Neill explains in her video that she found herself drowning in the illusion. Social media isn’t real. It’s purely contrived images, and edited clips ranked against each other. It’s a system based on social approval, likes and dislikes, validation in views, success in followers. Plus, It’s a perfectly orchestrated judgment, and it consumed her.

However, his fame was short-lived as he met a tragic accident. Kevin was reportedly hit by a car in 2015 at Los Angeles breaking his spine and collapsing his lungs. He had to go through multiple surgeries and suffered mental health problems. He reportedly told The Hollywood Reporter that he was slowly losing the ability to gauge where he was. His moods started to swing because every time they found something wrong with his body, he was trying to downplay it.
