Coming Out[]
On November 27, 2017, Elle came out as bisexual on her channel. The video is her telling her story of her realizing her feelings, coming out to friends by getting them to guess what her crush looks like then showing them a picture of a girl (Dodie Clark), then wrapping her house in rainbow paper and coming out her brother and mom.
Over a year later, she did a follow-up video titled "The Truth about my coming out" on her life after being out. She wanted to post in it on the one-year anniversary of her coming out, but she mixed the days up.
Family[]
Elle is constantly filming with her friends and family.
Her father (who doesn't want to be in her videos) married the mother of Elle's two half-sisters, Melinna and Mellissa (who used to appear in videos but doesn't really anymore). Melinna also has a YouTube channel with her boyfriend.
Her mother is named Janet Prejola and she has a younger brother named Jay Mills.
Her father remarried for the third time and Elle now has a younger step-sister named Angel.
Mental Health[]
Elle has openly talked about how making YouTube videos has made her feel burnt out. She even canceled many shows on her tour because of her mental health.
She made a video in 2018 explaining how she achieved her dream job of being a YouTuber but isn't what she expected. She explains that she is always feeling alone, has overwhelming pressure, and faces loads of stress which has given her panic attacks and has made her anxiety and depression worse. She films herself yelling at the camera with frustration explaining how she should be happy because she is living the life she wanted but she is so unhappy.
Elle posted a follow-up video explaining what happened after posting that previous video. She explains she is doing better and that she talks to people more about it (her friends, therapists) but things are still not perfect.
