On May 1st, 16-year-old influencer Princess Bliss Dixon passed away on February 7 after an overdose. She was found unresponsive in her bed at a supported accommodation in Waltham Abbey. For years, she'd been targeted by harsh trolls on the form, Tattle Life, which added to her struggles. Princess had been in the spotlight since she was four, starring in the Channel 5 documentary, blinging a baby back in 2014. Her mom, Sophie May, featured two splashing thousands on pedicures, spray tans, and extensions for her young daughters. At the inquest in Kelsford this week, the coroner suspended proceedings to let police finish their probe. Meanwhile, Sophie may shared emotional photos from beside her daughter's coffin online, facing backlash from some who called it Bizarre amid her. Grief A group of 20 labor MPs wrote to Uffcom, demanding they shut down Tattle Life for years of stalking and abuse against the teen. They want the site's owner held accountable, echoing past complaints that led Uffcom to rule against the original show for distressing kids.

Police are still digging into the circumstances, working with authorities while the coroner's office keeps watch. Princess's story shines a light on online harassment's dark side, hoping her family finds some peace ahead.
