    Not only was this a hoax, it quite literally ruined this young Taiwanese model’s life. There was a video online that went on to show the repercussions of the fake meme. She basically was the laughing stock for all the major modeling outlets and went from booking deals to zero deals. The messed up thing was she wasn’t even married with kids or even had any surgery done. She basically was the first internet doxx.

      This isn’t doxxing, this is just the internet spreading lies.

      Doxxing is publishing personal/private information about someone online, which didn’t happen in this story.
