Hillz claims that she got a text message from Seiter, telling her that his life was in shambles after his grandfather's death and asked her if they could remain friends instead.
Hillz also asserted that she felt happy to get out of the alleged relationship after finding out about the death hoax.
“It was the most roller-coaster relationship I’ve ever had,” she said, adding "Seiter was inconsistent in his communication" and that they had a fight about it on August 22.
She also said that Seiter wasn't mentally stable. “I’m his girlfriend now, we rarely speak unless we’re going to go on a date, I say all of this to say, maybe he is using me for clout," she added.
"We were going back and forth in text messages,” Hillz shared. She said, “He was up, down, inside out, that’s why when I heard that he passed away."
"I didn’t want to believe it, but in a sense I’m like, he’s not really all up there,” she continued.
“He’s not, and I sensed that. I suffer from mental issues, but I take medication and I see a therapist, but he doesn’t do that kind of stuff," said Hillz.
Hillz concluded, "The sick m**********r" should be held accountable. I’m questioning everything about this whole situation."
How did Josh Seiter respond to the allegations by Monica Beverly Hillz?
Josh Seiter slammed the allegations, calling them "made up and ridiculous."
He said, "Those are all ridiculous accusations made up by somebody with nothing better to do with their time."
He continued, “As a mental health advocate, issues of suicide are very sensitive for me. To suggest that I would orchestrate a death post around that issue is sickening."
"I have dedicated the last eight years of my life blogging and raising awareness about mental health, and I will continue to do so. Regardless of what my detractors have to say,” he added.
