Kendra Hilty of ‘I fell in love with my psychiatrist' TikTok saga breaks silence on ‘nonstop bullying', threats

Kendra Hilty took TikTok by storm when she started sharing her 'I fell in love with my psychiatrist' series, where she talked about developing feelings for her doctor, claiming that the medical professional manipulated her. Initially, her posts struck a chord with people, who expressed sympathy. However, the reactions shifted when she introduced her new therapist - a ChatGPT model called 'Henry'. In a recent interview, she opened up about facing hate and receiving "violent" threats due to her content. Kendra Hilty's videos on TikTok, which are part of the series 'I fell in love with my psychiatrist,' have taken social media by storm. (TikTok/@kendrahilty) 'I knew that people were going to say it happened to them, too,' Hilty told People in an interview. 'I didn't know that people were immediately going to start also being negative,' she added. Hilty claimed that the thing that came soon after her being viral was 'nonstop bullying'. She alleged that she received comments where people told her to 'kill herself" or said the world was better off 'without her.' She continued that this has also affected her personal life, as there are people around her who are 'pulling away because they feel afraid' that they, too, will get tangled up in these online threats. It's not all negative: Hilty said that despite receiving severe backlash and criticism, some thanked her for sharing her story. 'To everyone from the outside looking in, it just seems like I am talking into an echo chamber,' said Hilty, adding, 'But the reality is that people are telling me that they appreciate me and that they believe me and that they are grateful for my courageousness of sharing my story.' 'There are people that I haven't heard from in years who are reaching out and asking to support me,' she continued. 'It's made it worth it to be the laughing stock of the internet.' What's next for Kendra Hilty? Though her series on TikTok is ongoing, she has decided to cash in on her newfound fame and joined TikTok's Creator Fund. On being asked how she would feel if her content was turned into a TV show or film, she said, 'If a producer came to me and said, 'I want to invite you to help us make a movie or a television series about this,' I'd say yes, as long as it was something that valued and recognized me.' About the 'I fell in love with my psychiatrist' series: Using this title, Hilty started sharing videos where she claimed that she went to the psychiatrist to seek treatment for ADHD. Eventually, she developed feelings for the person and shared about it openly. The TikTok user alleged that the psychiatrist failed to maintain appropriate professional boundaries. In one of her unhinged and highly controversial videos, the 36-year-old said she had stopped going to the psychiatrist and selected ChatGPT as her therapist, which sparked concerns among some social media users.

Prince William once spent a night sleeping on London streets, and here's what happened

In December 2009, long before launching his national Homewards initiative, Prince William, then in his late 20s, spent a freezing night sleeping on the streets of London to understand the reality of homelessness firsthand. Prince William once spent a night on the streets.(REUTERS) Bundled in a sleeping bag, the future king chose a secluded alleyway near garbage bins, joined by Centrepoint CEO Seyi Obakin, reported ABC. Temperatures dropped to –4°C and the night brought only bone-chilling cold but moments of danger, including a near miss with a road sweeper. Speaking to ABC News then, Prince William had said that he could not even begin to imagine what it is like to 'sleep rough' night after night. He said that with deepening his understanding, he hopes he can do his bit 'to help the most vulnerable'. A cause inspired by Princess Diana According to another People report, Prince William's compassion for the homeless traced back to his late mother, Princess Diana. She took him and Prince Harry to visit London's The Passage shelter when they were kids, an experience, he said, that left a deep and lasting impression. The report added that Prince William became a patron of Centrepoint in 2005, a charity his mother once supported. From the outset, he was determined to be more than an ornamental patron, Obakin told People. She added that Prince William wanted to understand the issues and know how he could help.

Here's what they're doing The legacy of that night The People report added that the single night's sleep-out was not a publicity stunt. In the years since, William has visited shelters, helped cook and deliver meals during COVID-19, and committed to long-term action through Homewards: a five-year plan launched in 2023 to make homelessness 'rare, brief, and unrepeated' in the UK. Mick Clarke of The Passage was quoted as saying that Prince William is a catalyst who is changing language from 'managing homelessness' to 'ending it'. Homewards: A national mission Homewards is celebrating two years this July and is piloting new innovative local solutions to homelessness in six areas across the UK. Centrepoint is an important partner, and its leaders view William's sleeping on the streets in 2009 as a starting point in moving from direct empathy to national strategy. "Sleeping out was the starting point," says Obakin. "Homewards is the continuation." FAQs Q: When did Prince William sleep rough in London? A: December 15, 2009, in central London during freezing conditions. Q: Which charities is he involved with on homelessness? A: Centrepoint, The Passage, and his own Homewards initiative. Q: How did Princess Diana inspire his work? A: She exposed William and Harry to life 'beyond palace walls,' taking them to homeless shelters as children. Q: What is Homewards? A: A five-year program launched in 2023 aimed at ending homelessness in the UK through community-led solutions.
