(Tw: injury) As someone who had an acute nerve injury in their foot and who only has been able to recover about 98% of the feeling in said foot over a 6 month period I can barely even comprehend this. My experience was like if your foot fell asleep and then slowly woke up but it’s a bajillion times worse. I’ve never even given birth before but I instinctively knew that my initial EMG was more painful even than that. I hope this woman gets the help she needs.
pulling a nerve out of your own leg?? wouldn't that make you pass out from the pain alone? Crazy how certain people with mental ilness have such an insane tolerance for pain
It can really screw with you if you aren’t careful or get it taken care of. It probably cut the pain receptors or nulled them that she most likely never felt anything from it (or felt very little from it).
She more than likely had already caused substantial nerve damage to her legs and might not have even felt it. She was using a wheelchair long before her legs were amputated, she couldn't walk on her own.
this is absolutely chilling, the illness she does have seems to be far far worse than any illness she claims to have. touching a nerve would be the most extreme pain possible, even brushing it would be unbearable, so imagine literally tugging it
I have trichotillomania and I once got into a really bad headspace that made me start picking deep into my skin for the follicles. I got so deep I exposed a nerve and didn't realize it. I almost pulled it out but stopped because that was some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life .
It makes me wonder if that was really a nerve she was pulling out or maybe a vein? I don't know but maybe her skin and the area underneath was already so dead from the decay that she didn't even feel it...? That's my best guess because even touching a nerve would send anyone through the ceiling. And even if she was on painkillers, they don't actually dull your physical pain, they just block some of your pain receptors and dull your mind. I am a former opiate addict and I can tell you that I've never taken an opiate that actually killed my pain. They more or less just make you not care as much. Even fentanyl wouldn't dull the pain of someone's nerve being exposed. All this to say I'm just pretty skeptical that it was a nerve she was actually pulling out...unless it was an already dead nerve. To be fair, I can't find the video so I haven't seen it. I tried, not because I wanted to see it, but because I just can't believe it. If anyone has a link though, I will man up and watch it.
@@AlisonInCT1971 I've seen the photos. It was definitely a nerve. This video actually undersells how badly she was picking at her legs. It happened over a long period of time and slowly killed it off. It was most likely completely dead when she pulled it out. It had been exposed for a while. If you really want to see, the farms has archives of all the photos, but it's really not a good idea. Her legs literally died from picking.
The doctor's notes literally prove Kelly's blood was either disappearing out of thin air, or she was bloodletting. Eventually Kelly picked her legs to the point where you could see through the bones and ligaments. I've seen a lot of gore, but even I had to stop and take a breath before continuing looking at the progression of her picking. It should be known that regular skin pickers, even excessive skin pickers like me, could never pick our limbs to amputation. Kelly was on some serious painkillers and that's why she could pick literally to the bone.
@@AJ-zv9tn there was a video, where she actually waved her hand behind her leg, and you could see it! because she picked all around and beyond the bone 😬 (I really hope she’s doing better now and getting the help she truly needs ❤️)
As an ex ballerina myself I could understand how her ballet career could have played a part in this. It’s a very control and body image oriented career
It's so depressing that after all the evidence and self inflicted wounds nobody stopped to think about the possibility she had Munchausen's or any other serious psychological issue.
The doctors knew, they always knew, they just couldn’t stop her from doing it. If someone wants to pick at themselves, you can’t just throw them in a psych ward for the rest of their lives. People hurt themselves on purpose all the time, and drs have no choice but to treat them. If she didn’t want psychological help, they couldn’t force her.
@@brensherlock They literally can do that. Involuntary commission to psychiatric hospitals is a thing that exists. Her doctors could have ordered her committed at any time.
@@PFBM86 I work in emergency health, and unfortunately it's not that easy. Getting someone committed involuntarily to long term care is a lengthy process that is next to impossible with personality disorder because they are very convincing liars. They can't fool doctors, but can fool social workers and judges and their opinions are ultimately the deciding factors. We have Munchausen patient who is in every single day and it took 6 years for involuntary commitment and less than 6 months to get released.
I'm more horrified at the lengths of self harm she put herself through. This goes beyond simply faking illness. Bleeding herself out and creating gaping wounds, excessive picking, pulling out her leg nerve. She may have been creating these terrible injuries, but trauma she was putting herself through is one thing that can't be faked. I do hope her lack of social media presence means she's getting help. She was sick. Very, very sick and I hope she's getting proper help.
I agree with you. She was doing it to herself but the fact that she thought of it isn’t good. Just because she was faking doesn’t mean their isn’t a problem. Her faking shows their is a problem.
The way she talks about her legs being amputated while her nubs are wrapped in the hospital sends chills down my spine. She sounds so disconnected, and out of touch with her situation. It's horrific and depressing that she didn't receive any mental treatment given she has tons of evidence of her inflicting the most severe levels of self-harm one can perform.
yes! i noticed it aswell, i even had the feeling that she sounded somewhat content about it. not sure about my perception there, though. anyway, "disconnected", as you put it, is certainly a fitting word to describe it.
@@bonbonnie8 What happened to her is a tragedy, really. There was no need for her legs to be amputated prior to the self harm. Her legs and body were not the source of problems. The medical specialists could have saved her legs and mental health if they had just realized what she was doing to herself.
tbh that is pretty common, many amputees are very upset by having amputation surgeries and disconnection from the situation is a very common way to deal with that. also many amputees have dealt with health issues for years or even decades beforehand so they may be desensitised to surgeries or even feel relief.
Her level of unwellness is seriously distressing. You have to be pretty broken inside to be a ballerina and pick your own legs off, forever deleting your entire life's work. I hope she gets help and soon
I think it's definitely no coincidence that she was engaging in behaviours that would specifically make it harder for her to be a ballerina. It's almost like she was giving herself an excuse to quit without having to admit she wanted to. I wonder if the pressure was too much.
@@getitoutofme I don't think she would've consciously and purposefully destroyed her own legs, as no sane person would've gone that far only to stop working with ballet. But perhaps she had a very low self esteem and needed people's applause and compassion 100% of the time, and her "illnesses" and her legs so happened to be the first things she could come up with and destroy. Now the constant need of approbation and attention may be a direct result of her being a ballerina, whilst the self-harm directed to her leg may have been a subconscious manifestation of her pain and frustrations at the exhausting amounts of stress a ballerina is put through
@@hull_k0gan641how does it work? I’m sure it varies from location to location but I was under the impression that if you self harmed like this you’d be put in a mental facility, is that only for people under the age of eighteen?
@@takemybloon1210 On average it's not easy under any condition for someone to get admitted into a mental facility, and even then the resources are stretched so thin that even admitted, it's not quite the level of care needed. Much of this comes from the old facility scandals topped with the closure of many state facilities (started with Kennedy and continued on until Reagan dropped the axe on the rest as far as the States go). The idea for more localized facilities tanked because many don't want a mental health facility in their neighborhood, and the idea of families providing care fails when a mental illness is so severe it's beyond the family's capability to provide care. Add to this that there are people who messed up as it is, do fake mental illness which takes up the limited resources available and make it harder for those who do actually have mental illnesses to receive needed care. Mental Health care has long been in need of a revamp, but gets caught in the quagmire of funding, people thinking of the old facility scandals when it comes to establishing new longterm care facilities, and people getting weird about such facilities getting established in their neighborhoods.
@@MSinistrari oh jeez, I knew mental health resources were scarce and that it can take a while to get a bed in a facility but I had no idea just how bad it was
It’s really depressing seeing situations like this be repeated again over and over again, of people recording either their mental or physical health declining. I hope anyone going through something like this currently gets better soon. Thanks for the top tier upload scare, just a reminder I’ve been here since the old Casey’s Cave days.
@@catbatrat1760 A now lost show starring Scaretheater and his old Xbox friends on the ECWgaming/Scaretheater2 Channel. The videos were unintentionally deleted and the series is now lost media. I made a video talking about the hunt and at the time, all the info I knew. The hunt for the show has been stagnant recently, but anyone is welcome to help me by searching for it, as I’ve been wishing to relive my childhood. If the series is dead for good and it’s confirmed to be permanently lost, I’ll just leave this F in the chat here for if the show is completely unarchivable.
Thank you for including that last message. I’m physically disabled and it really annoys me when people look down on anyone with health issues “they caused”. If someone is going as far to pull their own nerve out, or spend years hurting themself just so they can spend hours in a hospital- they aren’t evil people tricking the masses for their own gain. They have a genuine health concern. They deserve as much compassion and understanding as I do.
They deserve 0 compassion. They're tricking hospitals into pouring precious resources into them and potentially could be held legally responsible for faking illnesses for money. This is the equivalent of getting hit by a car for insurance pay out but in this case, its getting paid in attention.
Exactly. And yet peoplenever act that way when someone suffers a health condition from smoking or drinking. Its like thats acceptable but if you hurt yourself because of trauma or you use meds to cope with the trauma suddenly youre an evil junkie who doesnt care about anything except getting high and you deserve to off yourself and not have your problems taken care of because youre selfish and dont deserve it.
I’d hypothesize that her social media dropped off not because she’s recovering, but because she can get attention offline now. Her medical issues were invisible out in daily life (both mental and self-inflicted physical). The only way to get attention over them was to post all that information and pictures online. Now that she’s had her legs amputated she gets attention every day, wherever she goes. She’s achieved what she desires. I just don’t understand why nobody in her family tried to get her psychiatric help.
She didnt got any help, because her family probably caused her ilness. Thats how a family is that abused their child. I was also a severe selfharmer, i cutted until i saw a muscle, did harmed veins etc. My family did know that and when a doctor wanted to put me in a mental hospital my family refused it and sayd i am okay
Munchausen syndrome is extremely difficult to treat, as most personality disorders are. It's hard to commit them, it's hard to help them, and their drain on an already overburdened health care system makes them hated by health care providers. I work in an ER and we have a resident Munchausen patient who we cannot get committed, who we are running out of ways to help, and the systematic problems are failing them and us.
@@Macachee I wish we could. We cannot deny treatment for any potentially deadly health conditions based on a set criteria of symptoms. They know exactly what to say so we can't dismiss them. Chest pain, blurry vision and muscle weakness and we are legally obligated to rule out stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism... every single day for over a decade now
What really gets me fuming is the amount of transfusions and transplants that were wasted on her. I've been a blood donor since I was old enough to donate, and given how undersupplied the blood and tissue banks are, I find it utterly appalling that someone who is completely healthy from a physical standpoint would allow blood and tissue grafts that could save the life of a car crash victim or burn patient to be wasted.
Munchausen's isn't a personality disorder, and while it's hard to treat, it's not much harder than any other illness. Just as long as the person suffering with it wants to get help.
I’ve seen a similar case (though it might not be the same mental illness). I had a friend back in public school, who was always oddly hyper, way hyper than me (and this was before I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on meds). Something always felt off, but we became friends despite this. Visited his home, and it didn’t hit me how stuffed it was with items and things they seemingly never used (way more than mine). His brothers and sisters had the same characteristics of being hyper. Another oddity was when they visited my house, they *immediately* dashed to our pantry and looked at the food we had. Again, I was a dumb kid and never questioned nor noticed this, but my mom and grandma certainly did. I think it was around the start of second or third grade when he first moved to another school, never questioned it. Then he came back the next grade, but he just seemed annoying (being *that* hyper was too much for me) and kinda wanted nothing to do with him and that was the last I saw of him. Maybe one or more years pass and low and behold, his mom was arrested for child abuse. Apparently, she was purposefully starving or giving little food to her kids, putting her kids on incorrect meds, and getting them sick on purpose, so she can make posts online to gain sympathy and attention from others. Every time schools got suspicious or doctors offices wanted to run tests, she’d have her kids enrolled in another school and taken to another doctors offices for their checkups. Yeah, those mental illnesses where you seek attention are pretty horrible to think about, you degrade yourself, your family, friends, and/or everyone around you for attention.
@@salh3326 Munchausens' by Proxy can be in both the abuse spectrum (like Gypsy Rose Blanchard) or it can be in the neglect spectrum (of the same condition). Both can be equally as harmful to the autonomy and development of a child, including adults who are children of such people. Narcissism and personality disorders with narcissistic traits can also have a hugely negative effect on the mental health, wellbeing and sense of identity and security of a child.
People love to say "oh she's just seeking attention" and move on, but it needs to be said that this behavior *is not normal*. Normal people do not intentionally give themselves grevious injuries to the point where they expose their bones. This woman is severely ill and needs help. Dismissing it as "attention seeking behavior" is sickening and downplays the horrific pain she is going through in order to do this to herself
I completely agree. The severe damage Kelly did to herself is not normal and shouldn’t be dismissed. She must of been sick for a while know considering the severe damage she did to herself. Kelly does need help and I hope she’s getting it. This isn’t “attention seeking behavior” it’s self-harm. You are right claiming it’s just “attention seeking behavior” is wrong and it does down play the pain she is going through.
I want to clarify one thing since people keep asking why she wasn't committed; she was. Several times. She'd stay, stop harming, and get released and then go to a different hospital/doctor's office. Also maunchaseun is very hard to prove, and even if she faked 100 times, if she came in once with something real and died or as injured as a result of them not treating her, she or her family could sue. So with every new doctor there would be a whole new round of tests until they could prove she was faking, then she'd be committed again and released again. One of the most interesting things about Kelly is that unlike most fakers, who would pick a disease/disorder and then fake the symptoms, she would fake symptoms first and then wait for the doctors or internet to throw out guesses as to what it was before picking one off that list and THEN exaggerating those symptoms.
holy fuck i cannot imagine seing someone pull their nerves; this has to be one of the most fucked stories ive heard; real G for covering this, Scare Theater!
This is seriously one of the most disturbing cases I've ever heard about, if not THE most disturbing. The fact that someone can pull a nerve out of their body is unbelievable. Has she ever admitted to having Munchausen or is she still claiming that it's a mysterious disease?
Shes never said its munchausen and in most medical situations it wouldnt be technically called that. Even if she did have physical issues she definently has something physiologically going on making herself worsen the injuries :(
A little side note, I just could help my morbid curiosity and I had to see the nerve that was pulled out (being that I'm a medical student I was genuinely curious) and I'm kinda doubtful if that thing even is a nerve in the first place?? I've seen exposed nerves on cadavers while studying anatomy and during surgeries and nerves don't really look like that. Although, I've never seen an infected nerve, so maybe I'm wrong.
@@Katarina191 I also couldn't help myself and looked up the pictures of the so called "nerve" she pulled 😅 And yeah, I'm also a med student and I have never seen a nerve that looks like that. Probably because on the cadavers I've seen during classes the nerves' shape, colour and texture were affected by formalin, but idk... Anyways, her case is very sad... I genuinely hope she is doing better and being properly treated by a good psychiatrist
I audibly breathed a sigh of relief when it was said she stopped posting. Best sign of possible recovery. She may never recapture her appendages, but she can recapture her health. Terrifying journey.
I think her story is a testament to the fact that "attention-seeking behavior" should not be dismissed. Normal, healthy people do not feel the need to seek constant attention. Even though she wasn't physically sick, she clearly needed so much help. On other notes thank you for the great content as always :)
I agree. She definitely needed help. Physically she wasn’t suffering but in the inside she was. Attention-seeking behavior is a problem and can become dangerous for the person like in this case.
Side note: It is possible to get stuck with a horrible doctor, but there are local and state patient advocacy offices you can ask for help. Once I had a new doctor un-diagnose me from several things and cancel my prescriptions despite valid testing and the hospital board wouldn't allow me to switch doctors. The patient advocates helped me, I'm grateful! It's been a year of recovery and my new doc is awesome, I'm getting back to normal. (This stuff happens to Medicare/Medicaid patients more often, no money to switch)
Does anyone else remeber the tumblr blog "coldnessinmyheart"? Those sh pictures had me traumatized, especially the one where the cut is down to the girls bone. It kind of scares me how mental illness can make someone do that to themselves.
For the people who dont understand why health care workers dont act let me tell you my story. Nurse here. Years ago I looked after a woman that out of nowhere said she couldnt walk. Because they couldnt diagnose her with something they called it "chronic fatigue". After she started having " convulsions" and great pain. People around her started enable her. Everytime her partner would leave for a night out, she would be found on the floor with a head injury (she didnt even had a bump). Everytime she would be admited because she became a media star. Doctors sugested her to meet a mental health worker and she threw a fit (funny enough that day she walked away using her legs). She would sleep through the night but would set up an alarm every 4h so she could ask for oxycodone. And then one night I arrived: she was clearly high, her blood pressure was super low and the pulse below 35. She still had strengh to ask for oxycodone. Guess what? I REFUSED. I did a behaviour chart, did an incident report, contacted the night manager and reported to him about why I was refusing to clearly overdose this woman. This mad woman spent the little energy she had abusing me all night, writting on social media about how a monster I am. Next morning during my handover, my manager actually was against me. Facts. When I told her I have a duty of care and I am not paid to overdose people she kinda stopped. But do you know what protected my registration (yeah, how crazy is this)? It was all the well documented events during the night and me threatning to contact the Nursing Board. As far as I am aware this crazy woman is still out there abusing staff and all social media saying how brave she is. My point is doing the right thing can destroy your career and your life all together.
This exactly!!! As a healthcare worker you aren’t allowed to assume a patient is faking, no matter how obvious it may be. You have to treat every symptom as if it’s a serious one or you can lose your license
Something that wasn’t mentioned in this video was that she was outed to be posting about herself in the kiwi farms, exposing photos and info about herself and her family pretending to be someone else. She admitted it herself once she was caught.
@@MoonshineTheDragThing Bruh I have mental disorders and even I think the political strides to mental health awareness have failed exponentially. No change in the justice system or anything meaningful but instead people time and again defending those who do wrong. People no longer see mental disorders as a medical condition but a personality trait. We have fucked over mental health awareness for decades to come. Maybe you should worry about how this effects the "innocent" ones more.
I’ve seen people being shot dead on video before but just hearing the words ‘pulling out one of her nerves’ actually horrified me, good god I can’t visualise what that looks like but I can imagine the sheer pain of it
Well based on what I remember of anatomy class it probably looked like her pulling up a bloody thread from her leg. That being said, the context of what it is makes it horrifying, and I also can’t imagine what it felt like.
I kind of believe it may have been dead considering the extreme amount of her leg picking which could be why that was able to happen because seeing the photo of whatever came out, it looked decently real but i dont even know anymore
This one is pretty sad, the irreversible damage she suffered mentally manifested itself physically. I've been subbed for like 8+ years so I'm glad to see you going strong, thank you!
My mom used to work at a Mental Institution. You would be shocked at how common this sort of thing actually is. My mom said it was usually always the young girls and sometimes they would even compete to see who could fit the most stuff, like stolen pens, into their wounds.
I feel like she had some delusional symptoms in addition to the attention seeking. I also think that her history of being a ballet dancer is significant. To be a high level ballet dancer, you end up looking at your body like an object that you have to control with willpower. A lot of dancers come out of the experience with a really disordered experience of their own body.
Plus you have to start at a very young age and spending gratuitous hours practicing in a very competitive and abusive environment. I don't doubt that had she never been in ballet, she wouldn't have ended up so mentally ill.
My suspicions were raised the second you said that they discovered this “condition” at a routine blood test. If her iron levels were genuinely down to ZERO, she would be blue in the face, if not already dead. Crazy story
@@Roadent1241 transable? We? What? Stop using buzzwords that don't relate. Her legs literally rotted and NEEDED to be amputated, recommended by the doctor.
@@user-pipis Well sorry I don't feel sorry for her intentionally messing herself up and ending up in our hated bubble of the world. Best to luck to her, hope she has fun.
@@nekojen9 I'm disabled myself so my lot is 'we'. She forced them to rot by picking at herself so by that logic she willingly transabled into a cripple.

And I only have naff all hearing in Britain and have seen how we're treated.
Most of the time whenever I see a "don't search these images!" disclaimer I just kinda roll my eyes and let my curiosity take me wherever it so desires. This is the first time I've whole-heartedly regretted it. The images I saw were harrowing and it is terrifying to believe that it was all self-inflicted
She stopped posting because she accomplished her goal. She was now disabled and could get babied by her family over her sister in her eyes. She didn’t need a following of the internet for validation.
I used to follow her story. The photos are way worse than you'd imagine. The nerve isn't even the worst part to me. The photos get to the point where both of her legs start to necrose and there is exposed bone and huge holes straight through her legs from her picking. It's absolutely grotesque and I'll never understand how she could do this to herself.
As someone that's struggled with sh in the past, I still can't fathom the emotional pain she must have been dealing with to need this horrific coping skill. I really hope she's doing better now
Hey, ScareTheater/Eric! YOU HIT 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I always thought to myself, WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN? Well, today's the day. Celebrate this milestone, and congratulations!
As someone that has had a unexplained anemia and a horrible auto-immun disease I had since birth. Seeing someone fake this for attention is extremely upsetting. Healthy people that want to be sick is the sickest disease to me. Truly unreal imo. I will say that it is incredibly suspisious to me that she was so attention hungry and active if she was this sick for those years. I was barely able to stay conscious for more than a few hours a day during my latest bout of the anemia I had. That makes her seem unbelievebly suspicious to me personally, there is no way in hell you could be this active if you hade below 100 hb levels for weeks at a time. I was worse off than her though, needed more than double her does of blood over about 3 years. Haven´t seen the whole video yet, just paused it to write this. So far you have hinted that she possibly wasn´t being honest about actually being sick. I sure don´t think so when you see her in the interview and if she was that active on social media during the whole ordeal. As I said, I could barely stand for more than a few seconds at a time and was asleep for most of those 3 years combined. I was worse off than her though, I needed well above double her blood amount during my 3 years. And that is me being quite under appreciative to be sure that I didn´t exaggerate. Maybe I am wrong, but context seems fishy so far.
I’ve seen the several dozen pictures of the literal decay of her legs and they’re genuinely horrific. There was one where you could see her nerves and bone in her thigh. To do that damage to yourself, you have to be severely mentally unwell!

Really, one of my very favorite channels for a long time now. Something about this video just compelled me to say something.
Man, this is hear breaking. I feel so bad for her. There's something so haunting about seeing the degradation of her health over time, as well as her mental state. I don't know if you're taking any requests, but if you're ever interested I'd like to see you cover the case of Allen Robicheaux. It's something that's always haunted me and it's not covered nearly enough. I've been a follower for many years. Keep up the good work and congrats on hitting 1 mil!
I remember seeing this story on r/illnessfakers. People were genuinely concerned about how far she had fallen. I have a strong stomach, but what she did to her legs. Holy shit.
when i was a cashier in highschool kelly and her caregiver would shop in the store and occasionally would come through my till, I've seen the wounds, and one day she showed up with no legs and her skin was yellow,, ive always felt very bad for her but when i saw ppl releasing videos it all made sense, i hope one day she can get the mental and physical help she needs :-( besides munchausen it must be really scary for her and she probably feels a shit ton of guilt, some of her issues are true but she never injected feces into herself and was a picker, not a good mix when you already have complex trauma :/
I think the scariest part is that this all started 10 years ago. This was a decade long nightmare. Just think of how much changed thoughout that time, and add what she went through on top of that.
@@znvsm Probably skin tissue. Though nerves can be microscopic, main nerves are much deeper and it's unlikely she would be able to make contact with a main nerve route or stellate ganglion nerve center without making herself pass out or throw up from the pain.

Ive never cried from pain until i had an exposed nerve from a tooth that even when air touched it it literally had me on the floor in absolute agony wanting to die to make it stop, I cant imagine purposely touching it or pulling on it.

Yes! There is something in her eyes, like her gaze... She has the eyes of a severely sick person, I've never seen anything like it. She's not ugly by any means but the way she looks is just... Unnerving.
I remember the first time I heard about this, it totally ruined the rest of my week. It took a while to get a lot of it out of my mind. I was nervous to proceed forward with this video.. I appreciate you covering this case with tact. I hope Kelly is doing well.. this story is so sad. 💔
I live in the same town as her and would see her periodically at a park near my house shortly after she had the amputations. It was so sad, but she looked happier.
its like a really really intense case of dermatillomania. i have a similar thing, though not nearly this bad, but something about your brain blocks out the pain for a little, especially for people with manic episodes. i remember hearing about this woman and saw all those photos (ew) back in 2020, so i didnt know she got her legs amputated. i really hope shes doing well now, as an identical twin with a bunch of mental issues :D
Speaking as someone who struggles with impulsively scratching at scabs and other injuries, hearing what she did to her skin grafts made me wince so incredibly hard. For me at least, I get this subconscious urge to remove the "anomalies" on my skin, even if that's led to more scars than I'm proud to admit. But dear god I would never have gone to the point of RIPPING OUT AND HOLDING MY OWN NERVE, OH MY GOD. I'm getting phantom pains just imagining it..
The one in the video isn't Kanye's account. His real instagram account (when it isn't suspended) rarely has any posts. He posts every couple of months and it's been like this for years. Even a true narcissist doesn't feel the need to post every day
I think what makes me the most mad about this is that she can, potentially, fake all of this and get all of this attention whereas someone like my mother had to struggle for 3 plus years just to get a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis because doctors were convinced her issue was that she's fat instead of, y'know, having an autoimmune disease.
Freaking thank you!! First sane comment i've seen. I have the same disorder and a few outers and I struggled just to get medication for it and these people can just drain medical resources from those who are actually sick. No sympathy.
It only goes to show how precarious the collection of patient history is, because if randos online could come to a Münchhausen conclusion, so could a doctor if he was interested in investigating it instead of entertaining the possibility of super rare random disorders
Youre looking at this the wrong way. You should be mad that she never got REAL help, which she needed severe psychiatric help, AND you can be mad that the American Healthcare System is so fucked up that your mom went through 3+ years of bullshit just to get her RA diagnosed. My doctors thought the same thing. turns out ihave fibro, pots, gastroparesis and hypermobility
@@AmbersDangleenAnkle Wouldn't that be nice? To clock the level of care you're going to get from a doctor and just be able to pick whichever one you want.
I'm so glad to see someone covering this. I stumbled across her content a while back on a certain forum of exceptional individuals and witnessed some of this as it actually played out. Was one of the most messed up things I've ever witnessed online.
ScareTheater is the first TH-cam channel I ever followed when I was looking for 'urban TH-cam myths' and 'scary mysterious TH-cam videos' back when I was much much younger 😂 Thanks for all your years of keeping us suspensed and up late at night. Much love brother ✌️
I've seen the full montage of her documenting her injuries. At some point, she had a hole going through her leg, horizontally, from one side to the other. Theory I've heard is that she was rubbing "cat waste" into her wounds to keep them infected. Upside is, free medical healthcare in Canada. She would have been beyond broke in the US before reaching that point.
I didn’t really pay attention to the fact that she’s Canadian at first, & I was like “jfc how is she even paying for all of this!?”😭 I’ve refused ambulance rides before, once during a pretty serious asthma attack, because I was like “no too poor for the hospital”.
It took 10yrs for Dr's to diagnose my 2nd disease. First was lupus, I got worse, they did a biopsy and found i had relapsing polychondritis. I also have lupus anemia. My rbc is low and wbc is high. I did get seizures for 3 months that turned out to be a reaction to rx. Thank goodness! The prednisone ive used for 30yrs have done more damage than anything. I have fibromyelgia, bechets, R.A., diabetes, list goes on so i just say autoimmune syndromes disease. I don't like talking about it. I wish Dr's could actually help with the pain and learn to respectfully listen.
Thank you for covering this with compassion but not a complete lack of responsibility from Kelly’s side. It’s such a depressing case and I truly hope she’s doing better now
So I found the images while in my own rabbit hole couple months ago and only got part of the story. I was grossed out but disconnected since I knew basically nothing about the story. I stumble on this video by chance and I genuinely can say I’m disturbed now, the feelings I should’ve felt seeing the photos initially have finally came
i remember seeing this woman being featured in a thread talking about Munchausen's Syndrome. this woman actively making herself worse just to garner sympathy from her own family member and attention. she keeps using the excuse what she has is an extremely rare, unknown disease (at one point she DIAGNOSED herself having Behçet's Disease). when in reality she keeps damaging her own wound (smearing it with feces, bloodletting, burn) to the point it was so severe she had to get amputated. the workers who treated her attested that she is very needy all the time and draining vital resources for others in need (blood transfusion, medical equipment, skin graft, manpower, time, etc) this woman is on another level, best case study of Munchausen's by the Internet. it got too much that a doctor just sent her home, knowing she is just faking it for attention. professionals are better at sniffing this. she likes the attention, which was why before, even a place like Reddit said "don't make a thread about her, she likes any attention about her. so just let her."
@@Anonymous-bi5pv At the end, there’s a doctor’s note that says she had an extensive history of sexual trauma, but “touched funny” is the least appropriate way to phrase that.
@@snood4743 A few minutes of digging and it turns out both sisters were throughly diddled by multiple family members growing up. I was right. Please grow up guys and do better.
I don't understand people that do this. I went through YEARS of mis-diagnoses, prescription trials, etc to finally get a diagnosis of Pseudotumor Cerebri (rare Neurological disorder). I can't imagine going through and causing harm to myself to fake a disorder for attention. It hurts just enough to exist as is. Also, pulling her own NERVE??? Wtf....I have dermatillomania, and have damaged several layers of epidermis on my fingertips (to the beginning of the nerve layer). I can't even IMAGINE going so deep as to pull my own nerves out.
I never knew you started posting again I literally thought you left yt. I'm so happy I remember seeing your videos ages ago and being upset that you didn't upload. I had my notify off all along
I’ve been through a similar experience as her, and unfortunately a lot of this does stem down to childhood abuse, neglect and I’ll include violence too. We know SOME form of this took place in her childhood. Everyone self harms for different reasons, but I always thought I genuinely deserved it. I sense some part of her felt that she did too. Maybe I did want the attention back then, because the people who raised me made me feel like I was a child of Satan. (I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness, I’m agnostic now) Deep down, I think some small part of me knew I wasn’t. At the same time though, I felt like I was, and I needed the validation from a kind and empathetic human being to understand me before I could ever open up. When you grow up with neglectful abusive parents, it can be tough. I still acknowledge they did their best, and I love them to death, but it fucked me up in so many ways. The experiences in your childhood really have the potential to set a scary foundation for the rest of your life. It’s a complicated situation.. it took me 6 years to recover. (I started going to therapy when I was 18 and now im 24.) I’m just extremely grateful for every friend I’ve made along the way. Especially those from my childhood who, for some reason, never left.. and are still by my side to this day. They are beautiful people. My mom passed away last month, and even though I just turned 24, I’ve undergone this battle with fighting suicidal tendencies since I was 5. Her passing was what ultimately allowed me to accept this part of myself. Intellectually, I always knew these were the reasons.. but it takes a very long time to emotionally let yourself accept them. I love and miss her so much and I only wish I could tell her that I know she never intended to do any of this to me. So please, take care of the people around you. Don’t talk to people with malice. You never know what they may be going through. Edit: I feel the need to share my story so that it may be hopefully easier for some people to understand hers, or any people around you. I was very private about my illness and only spoke to 4 people about it until this point, right now, of my life. I promise I’m not looking for sympathy
The more times I hear this story, the more I wonder why no one intervened and gave her the mental health care she needed. It's a shame that she can't do ballet anymore, but it's also a shame that she wasted medical resources to help her get physically better. It's fucked that her legs were so far exposed that you could see right through them, but it's even more fucked that she went as far as pulling out her own nerve. I can only hope she's doing better now off the internet and isn't mutilating her body further. This saddens me.
As someone who has both dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) and trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) although both extremely minimally..it is nice to see someone covering a case like this as what it is.. still a disease. Yes she was causing the physical harm but it was stemming originally from a mental disorder that many suffer from and it is incredibly common just not to such an extreme. Poor girl, I hope she has some peace in her life now and has overcome those challenges ❤

(Tw: injury) As someone who had an acute nerve injury in their foot and who only has been able to recover about 98% of the feeling in said foot over a 6 month period I can barely even comprehend this. My experience was like if your foot fell asleep and then slowly woke up but it’s a bajillion times worse. I’ve never even given birth before but I instinctively knew that my initial EMG was more painful even than that. I hope this woman gets the help she needs.
her case is one of the worst things ive ever read/seen on the internet and i have no life and spend all my time reading horrifying things lol
I can't even look at the short injection being inserted in my arm for blood test, and this girl out there pulling her own nerve
pulling a nerve out of your own leg?? wouldn't that make you pass out from the pain alone? Crazy how certain people with mental ilness have such an insane tolerance for pain
It can really screw with you if you aren’t careful or get it taken care of. It probably cut the pain receptors or nulled them that she most likely never felt anything from it (or felt very little from it).
Just hearing about it made me want to throw up
She more than likely had already caused substantial nerve damage to her legs and might not have even felt it. She was using a wheelchair long before her legs were amputated, she couldn't walk on her own.
she said it was painful but yea she picked her skin to the bone she can definitely handle that
I want to see that video but I don’t even know where to begin seeing it
this is absolutely chilling, the illness she does have seems to be far far worse than any illness she claims to have. touching a nerve would be the most extreme pain possible, even brushing it would be unbearable, so imagine literally tugging it
I have trichotillomania and I once got into a really bad headspace that made me start picking deep into my skin for the follicles. I got so deep I exposed a nerve and didn't realize it. I almost pulled it out but stopped because that was some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life .
@@ssteakmate983 fuck, so sorry you had to go through that shit. i really hope you're doing better now.
It makes me wonder if that was really a nerve she was pulling out or maybe a vein? I don't know but maybe her skin and the area underneath was already so dead from the decay that she didn't even feel it...? That's my best guess because even touching a nerve would send anyone through the ceiling. And even if she was on painkillers, they don't actually dull your physical pain, they just block some of your pain receptors and dull your mind. I am a former opiate addict and I can tell you that I've never taken an opiate that actually killed my pain. They more or less just make you not care as much. Even fentanyl wouldn't dull the pain of someone's nerve being exposed. All this to say I'm just pretty skeptical that it was a nerve she was actually pulling out...unless it was an already dead nerve. To be fair, I can't find the video so I haven't seen it. I tried, not because I wanted to see it, but because I just can't believe it. If anyone has a link though, I will man up and watch it.
I think it might have been dead, she had a literal hole through her leg, you could see through it
@@AlisonInCT1971 I've seen the photos. It was definitely a nerve. This video actually undersells how badly she was picking at her legs. It happened over a long period of time and slowly killed it off. It was most likely completely dead when she pulled it out. It had been exposed for a while. If you really want to see, the farms has archives of all the photos, but it's really not a good idea. Her legs literally died from picking.
The doctor's notes literally prove Kelly's blood was either disappearing out of thin air, or she was bloodletting. Eventually Kelly picked her legs to the point where you could see through the bones and ligaments. I've seen a lot of gore, but even I had to stop and take a breath before continuing looking at the progression of her picking. It should be known that regular skin pickers, even excessive skin pickers like me, could never pick our limbs to amputation. Kelly was on some serious painkillers and that's why she could pick literally to the bone.
now i am curious do you have any more detail cuz i dont want to have to look myself
@@AJ-zv9tn there was a video, where she actually waved her hand behind her leg, and you could see it! because she picked all around and beyond the bone 😬

@@Deathstockis this true??
@@pooscifer don't think that had anything to do with her Munchausen's at all
It's so depressing that after all the evidence and self inflicted wounds nobody stopped to think about the possibility she had Munchausen's or any other serious psychological issue.
The doctors knew, they always knew, they just couldn’t stop her from doing it. If someone wants to pick at themselves, you can’t just throw them in a psych ward for the rest of their lives. People hurt themselves on purpose all the time, and drs have no choice but to treat them. If she didn’t want psychological help, they couldn’t force her.
@@MMumbles No, they couldn't. They would risk getting sued and/or arrested if they tried.
@@brensherlock They literally can do that. Involuntary commission to psychiatric hospitals is a thing that exists. Her doctors could have ordered her committed at any time.
@@PFBM86 I work in emergency health, and unfortunately it's not that easy. Getting someone committed involuntarily to long term care is a lengthy process that is next to impossible with personality disorder because they are very convincing liars. They can't fool doctors, but can fool social workers and judges and their opinions are ultimately the deciding factors. We have Munchausen patient who is in every single day and it took 6 years for involuntary commitment and less than 6 months to get released.
@@PFBM86 they did once, scare theater left that out. hannah the horrible has a more in depth video.
I'm more horrified at the lengths of self harm she put herself through. This goes beyond simply faking illness. Bleeding herself out and creating gaping wounds, excessive picking, pulling out her leg nerve. She may have been creating these terrible injuries, but trauma she was putting herself through is one thing that can't be faked. I do hope her lack of social media presence means she's getting help. She was sick. Very, very sick and I hope she's getting proper help.
Sick because of torture trauma that caused everything ok this comes not from nothing
I agree with you. She was doing it to herself but the fact that she thought of it isn’t good. Just because she was faking doesn’t mean their isn’t a problem. Her faking shows their is a problem.
@@speakofhisgrace I agree.
I hope this case can make the general public aware that people with munchausen's are not “faking” they are extremely extremely sick and delusional

The way she talks about her legs being amputated while her nubs are wrapped in the hospital sends chills down my spine. She sounds so disconnected, and out of touch with her situation. It's horrific and depressing that she didn't receive any mental treatment given she has tons of evidence of her inflicting the most severe levels of self-harm one can perform.
yes! i noticed it aswell, i even had the feeling that she sounded somewhat content about it. not sure about my perception there, though. anyway, "disconnected", as you put it, is certainly a fitting word to describe it.
@@bonbonnie8 painkillers
@@bonbonnie8 What happened to her is a tragedy, really. There was no need for her legs to be amputated prior to the self harm. Her legs and body were not the source of problems. The medical specialists could have saved her legs and mental health if they had just realized what she was doing to herself.
tbh that is pretty common, many amputees are very upset by having amputation surgeries and disconnection from the situation is a very common way to deal with that. also many amputees have dealt with health issues for years or even decades beforehand so they may be desensitised to surgeries or even feel relief.
Her level of unwellness is seriously distressing. You have to be pretty broken inside to be a ballerina and pick your own legs off, forever deleting your entire life's work. I hope she gets help and soon
I think it's definitely no coincidence that she was engaging in behaviours that would specifically make it harder for her to be a ballerina. It's almost like she was giving herself an excuse to quit without having to admit she wanted to. I wonder if the pressure was too much.
@@getitoutofme I don't think she would've consciously and purposefully destroyed her own legs, as no sane person would've gone that far only to stop working with ballet. But perhaps she had a very low self esteem and needed people's applause and compassion 100% of the time, and her "illnesses" and her legs so happened to be the first things she could come up with and destroy.
Now the constant need of approbation and attention may be a direct result of her being a ballerina, whilst the self-harm directed to her leg may have been a subconscious manifestation of her pain and frustrations at the exhausting amounts of stress a ballerina is put through

@@hull_k0gan641how does it work? I’m sure it varies from location to location but I was under the impression that if you self harmed like this you’d be put in a mental facility, is that only for people under the age of eighteen?
Its Canada
@@takemybloon1210 On average it's not easy under any condition for someone to get admitted into a mental facility, and even then the resources are stretched so thin that even admitted, it's not quite the level of care needed. Much of this comes from the old facility scandals topped with the closure of many state facilities (started with Kennedy and continued on until Reagan dropped the axe on the rest as far as the States go). The idea for more localized facilities tanked because many don't want a mental health facility in their neighborhood, and the idea of families providing care fails when a mental illness is so severe it's beyond the family's capability to provide care. Add to this that there are people who messed up as it is, do fake mental illness which takes up the limited resources available and make it harder for those who do actually have mental illnesses to receive needed care. Mental Health care has long been in need of a revamp, but gets caught in the quagmire of funding, people thinking of the old facility scandals when it comes to establishing new longterm care facilities, and people getting weird about such facilities getting established in their neighborhoods.
@@MSinistrari oh jeez, I knew mental health resources were scarce and that it can take a while to get a bed in a facility but I had no idea just how bad it was

Thank you for including that last message. I’m physically disabled and it really annoys me when people look down on anyone with health issues “they caused”. If someone is going as far to pull their own nerve out, or spend years hurting themself just so they can spend hours in a hospital- they aren’t evil people tricking the masses for their own gain. They have a genuine health concern. They deserve as much compassion and understanding as I do.
Which physical disability do you have.
They deserve 0 compassion. They're tricking hospitals into pouring precious resources into them and potentially could be held legally responsible for faking illnesses for money. This is the equivalent of getting hit by a car for insurance pay out but in this case, its getting paid in attention.
Exactly. And yet peoplenever act that way when someone suffers a health condition from smoking or drinking. Its like thats acceptable but if you hurt yourself because of trauma or you use meds to cope with the trauma suddenly youre an evil junkie who doesnt care about anything except getting high and you deserve to off yourself and not have your problems taken care of because youre selfish and dont deserve it.

@@sexygirlmax2019yes they do
Her reaction to HAVING HER LEGS AMPUTATED is way more than the calmest & even chilliest (as well as chilling) that I could possibly imagine.
I’d hypothesize that her social media dropped off not because she’s recovering, but because she can get attention offline now. Her medical issues were invisible out in daily life (both mental and self-inflicted physical). The only way to get attention over them was to post all that information and pictures online. Now that she’s had her legs amputated she gets attention every day, wherever she goes. She’s achieved what she desires. I just don’t understand why nobody in her family tried to get her psychiatric help.
I believe this too.
She didnt got any help, because her family probably caused her ilness. Thats how a family is that abused their child. I was also a severe selfharmer, i cutted until i saw a muscle, did harmed veins etc. My family did know that and when a doctor wanted to put me in a mental hospital my family refused it and sayd i am okay
@@Frau.P Were you ever on tumblr?
@@BrookeEvangelineWinter no,but on instagram with cutting pics for many years. And i regrett it
i was gonna say as much.
Munchausen syndrome is extremely difficult to treat, as most personality disorders are. It's hard to commit them, it's hard to help them, and their drain on an already overburdened health care system makes them hated by health care providers. I work in an ER and we have a resident Munchausen patient who we cannot get committed, who we are running out of ways to help, and the systematic problems are failing them and us.
Let them fail then. They seem to magically get better once the attention and resources dry up. 🙄
@@Macachee I wish we could. We cannot deny treatment for any potentially deadly health conditions based on a set criteria of symptoms. They know exactly what to say so we can't dismiss them. Chest pain, blurry vision and muscle weakness and we are legally obligated to rule out stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism... every single day for over a decade now
@@MacacheeI want to feel bad for her but these meds and doctors time that she wasted who could've gone to someone in actual need doesn't help at all.
What really gets me fuming is the amount of transfusions and transplants that were wasted on her. I've been a blood donor since I was old enough to donate, and given how undersupplied the blood and tissue banks are, I find it utterly appalling that someone who is completely healthy from a physical standpoint would allow blood and tissue grafts that could save the life of a car crash victim or burn patient to be wasted.
Munchausen's isn't a personality disorder, and while it's hard to treat, it's not much harder than any other illness. Just as long as the person suffering with it wants to get help.
I’ve seen a similar case (though it might not be the same mental illness). I had a friend back in public school, who was always oddly hyper, way hyper than me (and this was before I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on meds). Something always felt off, but we became friends despite this. Visited his home, and it didn’t hit me how stuffed it was with items and things they seemingly never used (way more than mine). His brothers and sisters had the same characteristics of being hyper. Another oddity was when they visited my house, they *immediately* dashed to our pantry and looked at the food we had. Again, I was a dumb kid and never questioned nor noticed this, but my mom and grandma certainly did.
I think it was around the start of second or third grade when he first moved to another school, never questioned it. Then he came back the next grade, but he just seemed annoying (being *that* hyper was too much for me) and kinda wanted nothing to do with him and that was the last I saw of him. Maybe one or more years pass and low and behold, his mom was arrested for child abuse. Apparently, she was purposefully starving or giving little food to her kids, putting her kids on incorrect meds, and getting them sick on purpose, so she can make posts online to gain sympathy and attention from others. Every time schools got suspicious or doctors offices wanted to run tests, she’d have her kids enrolled in another school and taken to another doctors offices for their checkups.
Yeah, those mental illnesses where you seek attention are pretty horrible to think about, you degrade yourself, your family, friends, and/or everyone around you for attention.
munchausens by proxy, its horrific. one thing to put yourself through hell to gain attention, but your own children ? its sick
@@salh3326 Munchausens' by Proxy can be in both the abuse spectrum (like Gypsy Rose Blanchard) or it can be in the neglect spectrum (of the same condition). Both can be equally as harmful to the autonomy and development of a child, including adults who are children of such people. Narcissism and personality disorders with narcissistic traits can also have a hugely negative effect on the mental health, wellbeing and sense of identity and security of a child.
People love to say "oh she's just seeking attention" and move on, but it needs to be said that this behavior *is not normal*. Normal people do not intentionally give themselves grevious injuries to the point where they expose their bones. This woman is severely ill and needs help. Dismissing it as "attention seeking behavior" is sickening and downplays the horrific pain she is going through in order to do this to herself
I completely agree. The severe damage Kelly did to herself is not normal and shouldn’t be dismissed. She must of been sick for a while know considering the severe damage she did to herself. Kelly does need help and I hope she’s getting it. This isn’t “attention seeking behavior” it’s self-harm. You are right claiming it’s just “attention seeking behavior” is wrong and it does down play the pain she is going through.
Attention seeking behaviour is still a cry for help, but what Kelly has done to herself is beyond that. Poor girl
I want to clarify one thing since people keep asking why she wasn't committed; she was. Several times.
She'd stay, stop harming, and get released and then go to a different hospital/doctor's office. Also maunchaseun is very hard to prove, and even if she faked 100 times, if she came in once with something real and died or as injured as a result of them not treating her, she or her family could sue. So with every new doctor there would be a whole new round of tests until they could prove she was faking, then she'd be committed again and released again.
One of the most interesting things about Kelly is that unlike most fakers, who would pick a disease/disorder and then fake the symptoms, she would fake symptoms first and then wait for the doctors or internet to throw out guesses as to what it was before picking one off that list and THEN exaggerating those symptoms.
holy fuck i cannot imagine seing someone pull their nerves; this has to be one of the most fucked stories ive heard; real G for covering this, Scare Theater!

You have nerves in your body that are smaller than can be seen on an MRI.
@@munchykid4610 wonder how the standard, non gore hardened people fee like hearing that
This is seriously one of the most disturbing cases I've ever heard about, if not THE most disturbing. The fact that someone can pull a nerve out of their body is unbelievable. Has she ever admitted to having Munchausen or is she still claiming that it's a mysterious disease?
Shes never said its munchausen and in most medical situations it wouldnt be technically called that. Even if she did have physical issues she definently has something physiologically going on making herself worsen the injuries :(
A little side note, I just could help my morbid curiosity and I had to see the nerve that was pulled out (being that I'm a medical student I was genuinely curious) and I'm kinda doubtful if that thing even is a nerve in the first place?? I've seen exposed nerves on cadavers while studying anatomy and during surgeries and nerves don't really look like that. Although, I've never seen an infected nerve, so maybe I'm wrong.
Timestamp?? I think I missed that part
@@Katarina191 I also couldn't help myself and looked up the pictures of the so called "nerve" she pulled 😅
And yeah, I'm also a med student and I have never seen a nerve that looks like that. Probably because on the cadavers I've seen during classes the nerves' shape, colour and texture were affected by formalin, but idk...
Anyways, her case is very sad... I genuinely hope she is doing better and being properly treated by a good psychiatrist
I audibly breathed a sigh of relief when it was said she stopped posting. Best sign of possible recovery. She may never recapture her appendages, but she can recapture her health. Terrifying journey.
She can now get the attention she wants offline because she's visibly handicapped.
I think her story is a testament to the fact that "attention-seeking behavior" should not be dismissed. Normal, healthy people do not feel the need to seek constant attention. Even though she wasn't physically sick, she clearly needed so much help. On other notes thank you for the great content as always :)
@@purpIesky didn't say that lol but ok
@@pandapuke maybe phrase ur shit better
@@PrincessMeganLeigh nigga really said "yuppers" im crine
I agree. She definitely needed help. Physically she wasn’t suffering but in the inside she was. Attention-seeking behavior is a problem and can become dangerous for the person like in this case.
Side note: It is possible to get stuck with a horrible doctor, but there are local and state patient advocacy offices you can ask for help.
Once I had a new doctor un-diagnose me from several things and cancel my prescriptions despite valid testing and the hospital board wouldn't allow me to switch doctors. The patient advocates helped me, I'm grateful! It's been a year of recovery and my new doc is awesome, I'm getting back to normal. (This stuff happens to Medicare/Medicaid patients more often, no money to switch)
I watched this happen. One of the most disturbing and depressing things I've ever seen.
The human brain is truly fascinating. When it's dysfunctional, It's terrifying what it's capable of making you do to your own self or others.
Does anyone else remeber the tumblr blog "coldnessinmyheart"? Those sh pictures had me traumatized, especially the one where the cut is down to the girls bone. It kind of scares me how mental illness can make someone do that to themselves.
I looked this up and even though I have sh before this was truly terrifying
how does one even do thia
We still don't know what happened to CIMH. I hope she's okay but it's likely that she's no longer with us
For the people who dont understand why health care workers dont act let me tell you my story. Nurse here. Years ago I looked after a woman that out of nowhere said she couldnt walk. Because they couldnt diagnose her with something they called it "chronic fatigue". After she started having " convulsions" and great pain. People around her started enable her. Everytime her partner would leave for a night out, she would be found on the floor with a head injury (she didnt even had a bump). Everytime she would be admited because she became a media star. Doctors sugested her to meet a mental health worker and she threw a fit (funny enough that day she walked away using her legs). She would sleep through the night but would set up an alarm every 4h so she could ask for oxycodone. And then one night I arrived: she was clearly high, her blood pressure was super low and the pulse below 35. She still had strengh to ask for oxycodone. Guess what? I REFUSED. I did a behaviour chart, did an incident report, contacted the night manager and reported to him about why I was refusing to clearly overdose this woman. This mad woman spent the little energy she had abusing me all night, writting on social media about how a monster I am. Next morning during my handover, my manager actually was against me. Facts. When I told her I have a duty of care and I am not paid to overdose people she kinda stopped. But do you know what protected my registration (yeah, how crazy is this)? It was all the well documented events during the night and me threatning to contact the Nursing Board. As far as I am aware this crazy woman is still out there abusing staff and all social media saying how brave she is. My point is doing the right thing can destroy your career and your life all together.
This exactly!!! As a healthcare worker you aren’t allowed to assume a patient is faking, no matter how obvious it may be. You have to treat every symptom as if it’s a serious one or you can lose your license
Whats this womans name?
Something that wasn’t mentioned in this video was that she was outed to be posting about herself in the kiwi farms, exposing photos and info about herself and her family pretending to be someone else. She admitted it herself once she was caught.
Yeah every video covering her leaves out that she's manipulative and paints her as a halpless victim.

you could litteraly see *through* her legs prior to amputation
and damn, that update video after the amputations were unneveingly calm and upbeat
I’ve seen people being shot dead on video before but just hearing the words ‘pulling out one of her nerves’ actually horrified me, good god I can’t visualise what that looks like but I can imagine the sheer pain of it
Well based on what I remember of anatomy class it probably looked like her pulling up a bloody thread from her leg. That being said, the context of what it is makes it horrifying, and I also can’t imagine what it felt like.
It was probably dead.
@@thegameglitcher2439 aaaaghhhhh
I kind of believe it may have been dead considering the extreme amount of her leg picking which could be why that was able to happen because seeing the photo of whatever came out, it looked decently real but i dont even know anymore
@@thegameglitcher2439I’m gagging
This one is pretty sad, the irreversible damage she suffered mentally manifested itself physically. I've been subbed for like 8+ years so I'm glad to see you going strong, thank you!
My mom used to work at a Mental Institution. You would be shocked at how common this sort of thing actually is. My mom said it was usually always the young girls and sometimes they would even compete to see who could fit the most stuff, like stolen pens, into their wounds.
I feel like she had some delusional symptoms in addition to the attention seeking.
I also think that her history of being a ballet dancer is significant. To be a high level ballet dancer, you end up looking at your body like an object that you have to control with willpower. A lot of dancers come out of the experience with a really disordered experience of their own body.
The culture around ballet is not healthy eating disorders are common
Plus you have to start at a very young age and spending gratuitous hours practicing in a very competitive and abusive environment. I don't doubt that had she never been in ballet, she wouldn't have ended up so mentally ill.
Not "clap Nexpo's cheeks" 😭😂
I can't with your humor dude 🤣
My suspicions were raised the second you said that they discovered this “condition” at a routine blood test. If her iron levels were genuinely down to ZERO, she would be blue in the face, if not already dead. Crazy story
I've been following this story for a while and I still can't believe she actually went through the amputation.
I can. People think we live cushy lives. They will happily transable themselves thinking it's reversible.
@@Roadent1241 I dont thank thats what happened here-
@@Roadent1241 transable? We? What? Stop using buzzwords that don't relate. Her legs literally rotted and NEEDED to be amputated, recommended by the doctor.
@@user-pipis Well sorry I don't feel sorry for her intentionally messing herself up and ending up in our hated bubble of the world. Best to luck to her, hope she has fun.
@@nekojen9 I'm disabled myself so my lot is 'we'.
She forced them to rot by picking at herself so by that logic she willingly transabled into a cripple. Hope she enjoys the life people hate to support. Scooters and wheelchairs are not cheap and neither are home renovations to accommodate.
And I only have naff all hearing in Britain and have seen how we're treated.
Most of the time whenever I see a "don't search these images!" disclaimer I just kinda roll my eyes and let my curiosity take me wherever it so desires. This is the first time I've whole-heartedly regretted it. The images I saw were harrowing and it is terrifying to believe that it was all self-inflicted
Same here. I can’t get those images out my head.. it was graphic
I can't find them tho
She stopped posting because she accomplished her goal. She was now disabled and could get babied by her family over her sister in her eyes. She didn’t need a following of the internet for validation.
Exactly what I have been feeling about this.
Some stuff is so disturbing don't look them up. No matter how curious you are you will never forget it.
It’s always scary seeing the collapse of someone unfolding on video
I used to follow her story. The photos are way worse than you'd imagine. The nerve isn't even the worst part to me. The photos get to the point where both of her legs start to necrose and there is exposed bone and huge holes straight through her legs from her picking. It's absolutely grotesque and I'll never understand how she could do this to herself.
Trauma you should ask your self what needs to be done to a soul to get to this point. She's a victim even as a self harmer it's a trauma response.
As someone that's struggled with sh in the past, I still can't fathom the emotional pain she must have been dealing with to need this horrific coping skill. I really hope she's doing better now
I don't think that he knows what clapping someone's cheeks means.
Hearing 'pulled the nerves out of one of her legs' literally made my entire body tense up and shiver, holy hell.

As someone that has had a unexplained anemia and a horrible auto-immun disease I had since birth. Seeing someone fake this for attention is extremely upsetting. Healthy people that want to be sick is the sickest disease to me. Truly unreal imo. I will say that it is incredibly suspisious to me that she was so attention hungry and active if she was this sick for those years.
I was barely able to stay conscious for more than a few hours a day during my latest bout of the anemia I had. That makes her seem unbelievebly suspicious to me personally, there is no way in hell you could be this active if you hade below 100 hb levels for weeks at a time. I was worse off than her though, needed more than double her does of blood over about 3 years.
Haven´t seen the whole video yet, just paused it to write this. So far you have hinted that she possibly wasn´t being honest about actually being sick. I sure don´t think so when you see her in the interview and if she was that active on social media during the whole ordeal. As I said, I could barely stand for more than a few seconds at a time and was asleep for most of those 3 years combined. I was worse off than her though, I needed well above double her blood amount during my 3 years. And that is me being quite under appreciative to be sure that I didn´t exaggerate.
Maybe I am wrong, but context seems fishy so far.
I’ve seen the several dozen pictures of the literal decay of her legs and they’re genuinely horrific. There was one where you could see her nerves and bone in her thigh. To do that damage to yourself, you have to be severely mentally unwell!
This video about a womans descent into mental illness and double amputation really inspired me to put in an order for hello fresh using your code! Something about self harm and tugging on your exposed nerves really gets me hungry 😊❤

Her case was followed in GREAT detail on reddit's illnessfakers subreddit. I went down the rabbit hole and it was brutal
I understand this :/
I have borderline personality disorder and sometimes my hallucinations get so bad I find myself trying to scrape non existent bugs out of my face/chest, I feel no pain until hours maybe days later when I’m not dissociating anymore.
Luckily my husband is aware and keeps me grounded, I’m 4 months clean ❤
I'll never understand how it feels bc I don't experience it,but stay strong. You're awesome!
Uh borderline does not cause hallucinations. Idk who tf told you that, but no. It’s not schizophrenia.
@@Macachee um, me. I have a diagnosis, maybe do some research.
@@ohitsolly677 People like you are walking problems, you should re-think your alive situation.
@@MacacheeYeah, BPD doesn't cause hallucinations but trauma (which usually cause BPD) can lead to hallucinations and delusions if bad enough?
Honestly the most frustrating part of this is how much blood was wasted on her, 3 donors worth of blood every 2 weeks?!
Yeah, she should have been euthanized. What a waste of resources.
It wasn't wasted. She needed it to survive. You just think people with mental illnesses aren't 'really' sick and deserve second class care.
@@MANJYOMETHUNDER111 did you miss the part where the doctor found there was nothing wrong with her blood when they tested it unexpectedly and her "illness" was mysteriously cured after she stopped getting attention for it?

@@devilord3271 She may not have been physically sick but that doesn't mean she wasn't in life threatening danger at that time. She needed psychological help.
I absolutely LOVE how much of yourself you're putting into your videos. I think your personality adds a lot to these videos, but it's not intrusive or distracting from the stories. Really, one of my very favorite channels for a long time now. Something about this video just compelled me to say something.
Man, this is hear breaking. I feel so bad for her. There's something so haunting about seeing the degradation of her health over time, as well as her mental state.
I don't know if you're taking any requests, but if you're ever interested I'd like to see you cover the case of Allen Robicheaux. It's something that's always haunted me and it's not covered nearly enough.
I've been a follower for many years. Keep up the good work and congrats on hitting 1 mil!
I remember seeing this story on r/illnessfakers. People were genuinely concerned about how far she had fallen. I have a strong stomach, but what she did to her legs. Holy shit.
Mental illness can be very scary, she did need medical attention just in the psychiatric ward instead of blood transfusions.
when i was a cashier in highschool kelly and her caregiver would shop in the store and occasionally would come through my till, I've seen the wounds, and one day she showed up with no legs and her skin was yellow,, ive always felt very bad for her but when i saw ppl releasing videos it all made sense, i hope one day she can get the mental and physical help she needs :-( besides munchausen it must be really scary for her and she probably feels a shit ton of guilt, some of her issues are true but she never injected feces into herself and was a picker, not a good mix when you already have complex trauma :/
I think the scariest part is that this all started 10 years ago. This was a decade long nightmare. Just think of how much changed thoughout that time, and add what she went through on top of that.
She CLAIMS to have pulled a nerve, but in the pictures she shares with the world, it’s arguably not a nerve that she’s speaking about.
you seen it? link?
what is it
@@znvsm Probably skin tissue. Though nerves can be microscopic, main nerves are much deeper and it's unlikely she would be able to make contact with a main nerve route or stellate ganglion nerve center without making herself pass out or throw up from the pain.
@@igitha..._there are photos of her have had picked through her entire leg that gives full view though if they are fake, they do look pretty real cant lie
@@igitha..._ i’ve read on other comments that she was prescribed and taking several painkillers a day- that’s how she was able to cause her legs so much damage
I imagine someone who hasn’t heard this story hearing “this wasn’t a physical battle but a mental one” after seeing her amputated legs being very confused…
this is genuinely one of the scariest things I've ever seen, and I had unrestricted internet access as a kid
Ive never cried from pain until i had an exposed nerve from a tooth that even when air touched it it literally had me on the floor in absolute agony wanting to die to make it stop, I cant imagine purposely touching it or pulling on it.
to someone who was always used to being the center of attention, suddenly being ignored is a fate worse than death for them
Look at what it did to Madonna
my brother had an actual mystery anemea case. it took multiple doctors and hospitals to find out he needed a bone marrow transplant. Lukily the VA was able to pay for it and he's much better.
I just hope she gets better no one deserves to suffer like that , especially if it’s self inflicted because the mental suffering is so painful I truly hope she gets support she needs and the joy she deserves
Just looking at her image in the thumbnail gives you the idea that something is wrong with her. Heard about her before, and it's truly a sad tale
Yes! There is something in her eyes, like her gaze... She has the eyes of a severely sick person, I've never seen anything like it. She's not ugly by any means but the way she looks is just... Unnerving.
I remember the first time I heard about this, it totally ruined the rest of my week. It took a while to get a lot of it out of my mind. I was nervous to proceed forward with this video.. I appreciate you covering this case with tact. I hope Kelly is doing well.. this story is so sad. 💔
I live in the same town as her and would see her periodically at a park near my house shortly after she had the amputations. It was so sad, but she looked happier.
its like a really really intense case of dermatillomania. i have a similar thing, though not nearly this bad, but something about your brain blocks out the pain for a little, especially for people with manic episodes. i remember hearing about this woman and saw all those photos (ew) back in 2020, so i didnt know she got her legs amputated. i really hope shes doing well now, as an identical twin with a bunch of mental issues :D
@@dunewyrm3071 LMAO what are you on?
Speaking as someone who struggles with impulsively scratching at scabs and other injuries, hearing what she did to her skin grafts made me wince so incredibly hard. For me at least, I get this subconscious urge to remove the "anomalies" on my skin, even if that's led to more scars than I'm proud to admit. But dear god I would never have gone to the point of RIPPING OUT AND HOLDING MY OWN NERVE, OH MY GOD. I'm getting phantom pains just imagining it..
This was supposed to be scare theater not depression theater
The one in the video isn't Kanye's account. His real instagram account (when it isn't suspended) rarely has any posts. He posts every couple of months and it's been like this for years. Even a true narcissist doesn't feel the need to post every day
also doesn't he have a habit of deleting shit?
I think what makes me the most mad about this is that she can, potentially, fake all of this and get all of this attention whereas someone like my mother had to struggle for 3 plus years just to get a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis because doctors were convinced her issue was that she's fat instead of, y'know, having an autoimmune disease.
Freaking thank you!! First sane comment i've seen. I have the same disorder and a few outers and I struggled just to get medication for it and these people can just drain medical resources from those who are actually sick. No sympathy.
It only goes to show how precarious the collection of patient history is, because if randos online could come to a Münchhausen conclusion, so could a doctor if he was interested in investigating it instead of entertaining the possibility of super rare random disorders
@@squashedshibber2684 mental health is just as significant as physical
Youre looking at this the wrong way. You should be mad that she never got REAL help, which she needed severe psychiatric help, AND you can be mad that the American Healthcare System is so fucked up that your mom went through 3+ years of bullshit just to get her RA diagnosed. My doctors thought the same thing. turns out ihave fibro, pots, gastroparesis and hypermobility

I hope she's in therapy and I hope she is okay. Hearing this story made my chest feel so heavy
the fact that your brain can make you do stuff like this to yourself is absolutely terrifying & incredible. 😰
it legit scares me, this world is *dangerous* :(
I agree. Any issue with the brain can cause problems.
I'm so glad to see someone covering this. I stumbled across her content a while back on a certain forum of exceptional individuals and witnessed some of this as it actually played out. Was one of the most messed up things I've ever witnessed online.
ScareTheater is the first TH-cam channel I ever followed when I was looking for 'urban TH-cam myths' and 'scary mysterious TH-cam videos' back when I was much much younger 😂 Thanks for all your years of keeping us suspensed and up late at night. Much love brother ✌️
I've seen the full montage of her documenting her injuries. At some point, she had a hole going through her leg, horizontally, from one side to the other. Theory I've heard is that she was rubbing "cat waste" into her wounds to keep them infected. Upside is, free medical healthcare in Canada. She would have been beyond broke in the US before reaching that point.
I didn’t really pay attention to the fact that she’s Canadian at first, & I was like “jfc how is she even paying for all of this!?”😭 I’ve refused ambulance rides before, once during a pretty serious asthma attack, because I was like “no too poor for the hospital”.
Thanks for the upload brother.
It took 10yrs for Dr's to diagnose my 2nd disease. First was lupus, I got worse, they did a biopsy and found i had relapsing polychondritis. I also have lupus anemia. My rbc is low and wbc is high. I did get seizures for 3 months that turned out to be a reaction to rx. Thank goodness! The prednisone ive used for 30yrs have done more damage than anything. I have fibromyelgia, bechets, R.A., diabetes, list goes on so i just say autoimmune syndromes disease. I don't like talking about it. I wish Dr's could actually help with the pain and learn to respectfully listen.
Thank you for covering this with compassion but not a complete lack of responsibility from Kelly’s side. It’s such a depressing case and I truly hope she’s doing better now

Let's gooo I've gone deep into her story, can't wait to see this video!
Going from being a dancer to getting your legs amputated ... especially doing it yourself... is just so so horrible
So I found the images while in my own rabbit hole couple months ago and only got part of the story. I was grossed out but disconnected since I knew basically nothing about the story. I stumble on this video by chance and I genuinely can say I’m disturbed now, the feelings I should’ve felt seeing the photos initially have finally came
Mental illness is terrifying. Just the thought of your mind and body decaying is scary.
like Motor Neuron Disease - but that's not a mental illness.
i remember seeing this woman being featured in a thread talking about Munchausen's Syndrome. this woman actively making herself worse just to garner sympathy from her own family member and attention.
she keeps using the excuse what she has is an extremely rare, unknown disease (at one point she DIAGNOSED herself having Behçet's Disease).
when in reality she keeps damaging her own wound (smearing it with feces, bloodletting, burn) to the point it was so severe she had to get amputated.
the workers who treated her attested that she is very needy all the time and draining vital resources for others in need (blood transfusion, medical equipment, skin graft, manpower, time, etc)
this woman is on another level, best case study of Munchausen's by the Internet. it got too much that a doctor just sent her home, knowing she is just faking it for attention. professionals are better at sniffing this.
she likes the attention, which was why before, even a place like Reddit said
"don't make a thread about her, she likes any attention about her. so just let her."
Yeah this one was crazy, you've missed a lot while you were gone. And she didn't need to lose her legs if she'd have stopped picking

I can't imagine going through and causing harm to myself to fake a disorder for attention. It hurts just enough to exist as is.
Also, pulling her own NERVE??? Wtf....I have dermatillomania, and have damaged several layers of epidermis on my fingertips (to the beginning of the nerve layer). I can't even IMAGINE going so deep as to pull my own nerves out.
I never knew you started posting again I literally thought you left yt. I'm so happy I remember seeing your videos ages ago and being upset that you didn't upload. I had my notify off all along
I’ve been through a similar experience as her, and unfortunately a lot of this does stem down to childhood abuse, neglect and I’ll include violence too. We know SOME form of this took place in her childhood.
Everyone self harms for different reasons, but I always thought I genuinely deserved it. I sense some part of her felt that she did too. Maybe I did want the attention back then, because the people who raised me made me feel like I was a child of Satan. (I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness, I’m agnostic now) Deep down, I think some small part of me knew I wasn’t. At the same time though, I felt like I was, and I needed the validation from a kind and empathetic human being to understand me before I could ever open up. When you grow up with neglectful abusive parents, it can be tough. I still acknowledge they did their best, and I love them to death, but it fucked me up in so many ways.
The experiences in your childhood really have the potential to set a scary foundation for the rest of your life. It’s a complicated situation.. it took me 6 years to recover. (I started going to therapy when I was 18 and now im 24.)
I’m just extremely grateful for every friend I’ve made along the way. Especially those from my childhood who, for some reason, never left.. and are still by my side to this day. They are beautiful people.
My mom passed away last month, and even though I just turned 24, I’ve undergone this battle with fighting suicidal tendencies since I was 5. Her passing was what ultimately allowed me to accept this part of myself. Intellectually, I always knew these were the reasons.. but it takes a very long time to emotionally let yourself accept them.
I love and miss her so much and I only wish I could tell her that I know she never intended to do any of this to me.
So please, take care of the people around you. Don’t talk to people with malice. You never know what they may be going through.
Edit: I feel the need to share my story so that it may be hopefully easier for some people to understand hers, or any people around you. I was very private about my illness and only spoke to 4 people about it until this point, right now, of my life. I promise I’m not looking for sympathy
The more times I hear this story, the more I wonder why no one intervened and gave her the mental health care she needed. It's a shame that she can't do ballet anymore, but it's also a shame that she wasted medical resources to help her get physically better.
It's fucked that her legs were so far exposed that you could see right through them, but it's even more fucked that she went as far as pulling out her own nerve. I can only hope she's doing better now off the internet and isn't mutilating her body further. This saddens me.
As someone who has both dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) and trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) although both extremely minimally..it is nice to see someone covering a case like this as what it is.. still a disease.
Yes she was causing the physical harm but it was stemming originally from a mental disorder that many suffer from and it is incredibly common just not to such an extreme.
Poor girl, I hope she has some peace in her life now and has overcome those challenges ❤
My hemorrhoids used to bleed so bad that my hemoglobin got down to 4.7 once. They were shocked that i was still functional. Almost bled to death out of my asshole lol!
