Controversial influencer Gabbie Hanna has returned to her TikTok account to upload “concerning” videos. The YouTuber went viral recently for uploading a series of clips which led to netizens inferring that she was having a manic episode.

The 31-year old’s TikTok controversy began with her going live on social media. In the video, Gabbie Hanna was unapologetically dancing and speaking about Black people and Jesus Christ.

After the video went viral, followers claimed that what she said was racist. In it, she said that Black people were “inherently cooler” and Black women “embody the Holy spirit” as they have to raise their children after the “father leaves.”

Following this, Gabbie Hanna uploaded a series of TikTok videos in which she let a stranger inside her home. Netizens worried about her safety as she vulnerably chatted with the unidentified man, who also took videos inside her residence.

The influencer took to the video-sharing platform to eccentrically speak about Christianity and the transgender community, among other topics.

As Hanna continued to upload videos online, she revealed to followers that she received a wellness check.

On Thursday, Hanna went on the app, claiming that she was “cuffed and detained by five officers who busted” into her house. She also stated that she was almost “dragged me off to a hospital” but it did not go through.
