"Videos have been extremely difficult to film" - SSSniperwolf announces that she is "stepping back" amid heated controversy

Contentious internet personality Alia "SSSniperwolf" recently announced on Instagram that she would be "taking a step back" amid her latest controversy. The YouTuber added that she would turn off comments on her social media and that she was focusing on her mental health, which had been on a "steep decline."

The content creator wrote:

"Please remember that, in spite of our differences, different opinions, mistakes, we all struggle to do the best we can and nobody is unaffected by hate, insecurity, and the pain it causes. I am taking a step back, reflecting, learning, turning off the comments for a bit, and focusing on my own mental health that has been on a steep decline the past year."

SSSniperwolf also stated that making videos had become "extremely difficult" in recent months. She explained:

"Videos have been extremely difficult to film the past few months, so thank you, for being patient with me. You never know what struggles people are going through, so please be kind and please try to remember I am human, and have feelings just like you."
