She went viral for humiliating scammers online—then the internet turned on her.
In this powerful episode, we sit down with IRLrosie. Known for her scambaits using multiple voices, Rosie gained millions of views catching scammers with wit and absurdity—long before it was mainstream.
But with viral fame came a dark side. Rosie opens up about how her scambaiting success led to online stalking, doxxing, threats, and targeted harassment—all because she dared to fight back and be loud about it. She shares the emotional weight of becoming a public figure too fast, the mental toll of internet harassment, and why she walked away from the spotlight when it became too much.
