Pokimane has a toxic relationship with Los Angeles

In the podcast with Trash Taste, Pokimane explained what it’s like to live in Los Angeles and make a living there, instead of being brought up in very calm surroundings in Canada. She said, ” I can’t say it’s s**t but you do feel a little bit like a prisoner. Like how you can feel imprisoned in like a toxic relationship. That’s the best way to put it it’s like I just can’t change. But there are major downsides, but there are major upsides. So I can’t say it’s great. LA is really not that bad. Obviously or else I wouldn’t live there. But it really is toxic.”

After this, the hosts curiously asked if she would leave LA if needed, to which she replied, “I could not possibly imagine raising a family in Los Angeles. I don’t know how people do that. I really don’t.” She also further explains how it is difficult to raise kids in LA, since it is bustling with movie stars and people from around the globe.

Further, she also agreed with Connor when he said that the concept of high schools situated in Hollywood with barricades around them makes it feel like a prison. Notably, this was also the reason why Pokimane said that she doesn’t want to raise kids in Los Angeles.
