"hacked"

 

[cash_longfellow]

I'd like to speak to the marketing department lol

Plottwist: She will say it was the death of the Persona Lil Tay

 

[Mossybrew]

Well I guess it worked, I had never heard of this person and now, unfortunately, I have.

 

[Z O N E]

What I'm still confused about is why her father said he could not confirm his daughter was alive or dead. Make that make sense.

I'm guessing he's not involved in his children's lives?

 

[rkofan87]

is the bro still dead?

 

[Ownage]

I hope those souls find peace one day. Life isn't meant to be like that for anyone.

 

[Ownage]

She was from Vancouver, I fear fentynal may be a factor which is crazy at her age.

RIP

Vancouver has turned into a dump as bad as Portland.

Definitely a Lil suspicious.

Now I can laugh!

Glad they aren't gone, would be very sad. Never heard of Lil Tay until now but she could be the next Awkwafina.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

I feel like there was someone else with the name Lil' Tay maybe about 15-20 years ago.
Anyway, hacked huh. Sounds like a Lil' bullshit to me

Why exactly is there such a large market for female Asian minstrel shows?

Is there? She just seems like a young Awkwafina, brash over the top act.

Just when attention whoring goes to the next level

 

[KrakenIPA]

Wow she was hacked/exploited along with a new crypto promo. Okay cool, that works for like 48 hours, and then you live the rest of your days as the person that got got. Everyone joined your grift train and a lot of people decided that they were the conductor.

My advice to her: its time to jump off that train and get a real job, kid.

 

[chromhound]

Daddy needed money i guess

 

[Days like these...]

Publicity stunt

 

[Hugare]

Police should check for the "hacker"

And if they found out that they faked their deaths, oh boy

 

[daffyduck]

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Lmfao Claire isn't even her name, holy fuck, I'd be mad if I wasn't so bemused.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I shall try to go back to not knowing she ever existed.

 

[Alex Anderson]

She previously had no wikipedia page until today.

RIP girl

***(if you're really dead)***

*waits for the documentary*

Had to quote myself since nobody else did.

Is a social media post really "faking their own death" though? Do cops routinely troll twotter looking for "ain't seen my babies for days, they be ded!" posts to investigate?

 

[LordOfChaos]

I meaann...Even if they were getting a bunch of phone calls from family, they could have immediately posted somewhere else that they weren't dead. Sus.

And I've never heard of these people before them being fake dead, so.

 

[j0hnnix]

This whole thing was a lil weird...

This story is confusing. Is this all a hoax? Is there any truth to what was said about her brother passing away as well?

Yes. A hoax. They "claim" they were hacked, but had a promotion lined up right after. Brother is fine.

Hilarious to see TMZ, once again, fall for bullshit.

[wondermega]

Well - she is still dead to ME, at least.

 

[Pejo]

Damn, born too early for Lil Tay to be dead, born too late for me to give a shit about Lil Tay.

Life is just suffering...

Glad it's fake, loss of young lives sucks. Hope it wasn't some ill conceived publicity stunt.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

My advice to her: its time to jump off that train and get a real job, kid.

Why? Job is hard, here she does nothing and gets paid. Perfect setup.
Also incoming Reddit experts with "social media is a job".

She doesn't even have control of her social media accounts. Her father does lol
