Who is Rayanna Brock? How 'Mugshot Queen' almost killed herself before 'finding God'
FAYETTE COUNTY, KENTUCKY: A former Kentucky student, who gained notoriety as the "Queen of Chaos" after her grinning mugshots after being arrested went viral, recently revealed that she has turned her life around after "finding God" with the help of a friend who stopped her from killing herself. Rayanna Belle Brock, 23, had been arrested at least 11 times for a number of offenses including shoplifting in March 2018, terrorism-related crimes in 2020 and firearm theft in January.
Brock became a social media star after her mugshots were featured on the mugshawty Instagram account, which showcased some of her 11 mugshots from the past five years. Her most recent mugshot captured her beaming while wearing an orange prison jumpsuit after being arrested in 2020 for terroristic threats and harassment. As a result of her internet fame, some social media users described her as "cute but equally a menace" and “mugshot queen." However, despite her troubled past, Brock’s recent posts showed her sharing uplifting quotes about God and expressing gratitude to a friend who helped her during her darkest times.

'I had burnt about every bridge'
In a Facebook post on July 13, Brock praised her "homie" Bernard Hoskins for preventing her killing herself and thanked "the Lord" for helping in "doing so good" after opting for sobriety. "This man took me in when I was literally at rock bottom and he honestly saved me from taking my own life," she wrote, adding, "I had burnt about every bridge I ever had but he was still there for me. If it wasn’t for him I would’ve been sleeping on the streets many times but he never turned me away and always did what he could for me whether that was feeding my little ass, letting me take a shower, or just crashing at his place cause I had nowhere to go. I am so proud of him. We are both sober now and doing so good and I just have to thank the Lord for that cause only God knows what we’ve both been through but we never let it break us!"
