It is hard for public figures to run alternate businesses without being subject to public scrutiny. One miscalculated decision can produce serious repercussions, and Valkyrae just learned that lesson in the hardest way possible. The 29-year-old streamer found herself on the bad side of things when she decided to launch a skincare/beauty product in RFLCT.

The product made bold claims of combating skin issues that screens can create, which turned out to be false. In the end, it threw the streamer into hot waters, as she offered a public apology and also shared her statement about the whole situation. Sadly, the public backlash was far too severe, and it compelled Rae to take a break from streaming. Now, the Queen of YouTube has finally returned, and she offered more insights into her mental health.
