Religion
Raised as a Southern Baptist, she left the church when she was sixteen years old.
She said in a 2021 interview that she still identifies as a Southern Baptist, adding, “God has always played a big part in my life, whether I like it or not. He’s always been there for me, whether it’s being used as a threat or a consoling figure. It’s not something you can truly ignore. And rather than say “F*ck the church,” I’d just like to accept it.
She said that while she doesn’t identify as a Christian or care about religion, she “still abides by the values [she] was raised on” in a 2022 Tumblr post.
