The 26-year-old had been dogged by fan speculation about her personal life for years.

Johnson’s mental health continued to deteriorate, she said. She attempted suicide at 18, then went into a drug-induced psychosis after a car crash at 19, before cycling in and out of psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and several arrests for the next several years.

“I’ve been to jail, psych wards, and rehabs. I’ve slept on the street,” Johnson said. “And now I can tell you that the one thing that saved me was love.”The turning point came in 2020 when her then-partner committed suicide, and a friend intervened and took Johnson into her home. Johnson now says that she’s 10 months sober and living with a new partner in England.

“I really can’t believe I’m still here on this planet, alive and coherent,” she said. “I’ve had a lot of people tell me, ‘I’m glad you’re alive,’ because the way I was living, I shouldn’t be.” Fans flooded the comments with their supportive reactions. “I have been following you since I was in middle school,” one fan wrote in the YouTube comments. “I’m so grateful you’re here, and in a good place now. Thank you for sharing your story with us. We’re here for you. We see you.”to her video, “i love you so much lia ❤️ i am so proud of you. it makes me so happy that you are in such a good place now.
