So this Instagram model is in big trouble because she's about to start a cult. Now her name is Cat and Cat is from Brazil and she's a model and she's doing pretty well for herself. She models in several different countries, she's in some magazines, I mean things are taking off for her. So, after a few years of this, she moves somewhere she can really make it big, the United States. And she eventually ends up in New York City. And here, she decides she's gonna become an influencer. The crazy thing is, works because soon enough she has over a million followers mostly because of her modeling stuff because you know people on instagram like to follow models but then she parlays that into giving advice like spiritual advice and like life coaching
And she starts making all this spiritual life coaching content and making all kinds of wild claims. Like she says she's spiritually gifted and that she's some kind of witch who can like put curses on people. And that she has spiritual powers that can allow her to predict the future. That she's guided by divine voices that only she can hear. She writes an autobiography about her life at 25 years old? Like she's all important? But whatever, there must be a demand for it because she publishes it and I guess her followers buy it. And like here she is on a Brazilian TV show promoting it. Not only that, she's getting so popular she allegedly starts dating Leonardo DiCaprio. Here's a picture of them together, there's Kat, and I guess that's Leonardo.
Now I don't know if they actually dated, that's just what the tabloid said. And that's great and all. However, because she's having all this very public success and she talks all this shit about herself being spiritually gifted, a lot of her followers listen to everything she says. And so she starts a website and she starts charging people to help coach them. Like she charges some kind of subscription service where she promises to show you how to gain wealth, how to attract the man of your dreams, and other spiritual life coach shit like that. And like we laugh at this stuff because it's an obvious grift, but a lot of her followers are really into this and some of them start to believe she has like some sort of magical powers or something.
Then in 2019, things start to shift and get really crazy because one of her followers, this woman, Anna, anna starts reading cat's autobiography and she gets really into cat and her teachings and she's like i want to be closer to this woman and eventually she moves from massachusetts to new york city to live with cat in her apartment and work as her live-in assistant However, when Anna gets there to the apartment, she is shocked. I mean this place isn't anything how Kat made it look on Instagram. Like the whole place smells and it's extremely dirty. Like Kat's a hoarder or something and like this place hadn't been cleaned in months. Like she's living in filth. Not only that, Kat is extremely controlling and treats her like trash.
Like, Anna has to be available to work 24-7, and Kat only allows her to sleep a few hours a night? And when she is allowed to sleep, she has to sleep on this couch that's apparently covered in house cat urine? Not to mention, Kat tells Anna that she'll pay her for her work, but then she doesn't. And this goes on for about three months. And finally, Anna's like, screw this, and she leaves, and she moves in with, like, a new boyfriend. And that sucks for Kat. However, it is at this point Kat realizes that she has a lot of power over her followers. So she's going to get more of them to live with her and she's going to treat them even worse. And in 2022, she moves from New York down to Austin, Texas, where she ends up living in a decent sized place. I think it's like five bedrooms. And there she starts trying to recruit women from her online following. Like she tries to recruit them as helpers who would come live with her in this house. So she reaches out to some of them and she asks them to move in with her.
