The social media star continued, "I struggled to put the pieces together as to why this had happened to me. It took two months for me to finally tell my parents. I felt dirty, hopeless, broken, and worthless. I was confused and scared. I felt like it was my fault."
"I was homeschooled and began making videos to pass the time and ease some of the loneliness and isolation I had felt. People were watching my videos and although I was still struggling, I felt like I had finally found people who cared, regardless of my situation," Gray continued, adding, "Although, every now and then the comments and questions would be too much. 'She looks like a w***e.' 'Are you a virgin?'"
"I was always afraid to tell people my story, fearing people would view me differently and I would lose those I cared about," she said, adding, "I'm 18 now and I've realized that my past does not define me. It was never my fault and I never deserved it."
"I came out stronger and I'm so proud of myself," Gray said, before adding, "There is light at the end of the tunnel and if my story can help even ONE person, then to me it's a story worth telling."
However, Gray said she has been "overwhelmed by the amount of support and love that I have felt today." She then shared a thank you note on Twitter.
Fortunately, Gray was able to fight back and escape the attack but it left a lasting impact on her. She has been open about her experiences with bullying and how it has affected her mental health. She is also an advocate for using social media to spread positivity and kindness instead of hate.
Despite her past experiences, the TikTok superstar continues to be a positive force on social media, inspiring her followers to be confident and kind to one another.
