Joyce, who is best known for her beauty videos, has over 2 million subscribers on YouTube. Her more recent clip on the site was uploaded on June 21.
In 2016, fans became alarmed after the YouTuber appeared distracted in one of her videos, according to Entertainment Tonight, which reported seeing footage of bruises on her arm and Joyce seemingly whispering “help me.”
At the time, the hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce trended worldwide. Then, a year later, Joyce returned to the platform with a video explaining that she was suffering from depression.
“I simply don’t want you to believe any of the conspiracy theories because none of them are true,” she said, describing her “bad” depression. “I’m getting better now, which is why I decided to make this video. I feel so grateful for #SaveMarinaJoyce because it did actually save me.”
