The picture quickly went viral across social media platforms, with many followers thrilled to see the YouTuber after years.

Why did Jenna Marbles leave YouTube?
Jenna Marbles had amassed nearly 20 million subscribers and over three billion views on her official YouTube channel. Netizens adored her comedic skits and positive energy. However, on June 25, 2020, the YouTuber took to the video sharing platform to make a sad announcement.
In a video titled, "A Message," Jenna apologized for offensive content she had published in the past and declared that she was quitting posting videos online.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Jenna Nicole Mourey, apologized for a series of videos she had uploaded between 2011 and 2012, all of which were deemed to be racist. The content creator had attempted to imitate rapper Nicki Minaj in a video by wearing a pink wig and applying a dark spray tan.
As a result, she was accused of doing blackface and garnered immense backlash for using a “blaccent.”
In her apology, Jenna Marbles said:
“It was not my intention to do blackface. I do want to tell you how unbelievably sorry I am if I ever offended you by posting this video or by doing this impression, and that that was never my intention. It’s not okay. It’s shameful. It’s awful. I wish it wasn’t part of my past.”
The YouTuber also apologized for the lyrics in her rap song titled Bounce that D***.
She further expressed how sorry she was for posting a video where she dissed women who “slept around.”
At the end of her final video uploaded to her channel, Jenna announced:
“For now, I just can’t exist on this channel… I think I’m just going to move on from this channel for now. I don’t know how long it’s going to be. I just want to make sure the things I’m putting in the world aren’t hurting anyone. So I need to be done with this channel, for now or for forever.”
Since her departure from YouTube, Jenna has also ended her podcast Jenna and Julien, which she collaborated on with her partner Julien Solomita.
