Back in July 2016, Marina Joyce, who has over two million subscribers on YouTube, began trending on Twitter after her videos and social media posts frightened fans. The girl dropped from radars for a while after she appeared on one of her videos worried and allegedly with bruises on her hands, provoking rumours and speculations that she had been kidnapped or forced to film the video. Joyce's fans even created a hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce, which was shared over three million times.
