“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die,” she said in a video posted on Tuesday. “It’s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I’m in Sarasota, I live on the water. It’s a zone A, mandatory evacuation.”
She then went on to list the reasons why she was staying put despite warnings about the monstrous storm making landfall on Wednesday night.
“I can’t drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is closed,” she told her 666K followers on Instagram.

“Third of all, the last time I evacuated for a hurricane, I went to my mom’s house in Northport for Hurricane Ian,” she continued. “ … Her whole street flooded and we were evacuated after three days without power or running water by the US military.”
“It was very traumatic and so I don’t want to evacuate to my mom’s house because the last time I did that, it was the worst time ever!” she added.
The internet sensation said she did have her cat to keep her company, and they had a bathtub filled with "backup water."

The self-proclaimed “scammer” also took to X to offer her fans some “great advice.”
“I’m not evacuating for the hurricane,” she tweeted. “I live in Sarasota, on the beach, in evacuation zone A. For more great advice, buy my second book! It’s called Elizabeth Wurtzel and Caroline Calloway’s Guide to Life. It’s about to come out if I survive! It’s an advice book ;-) Cute!!!!!”

The headstrong socialite became infamous for a whirlwind of controversies over the years. She bought thousands of fake followers during her early days and initially garnered fame for documenting her life as a history student at Cambridge University.
It was later found that she had lied on her application and faked her way into getting into the prestigious institute.
The content creator was also accused of scamming her fans into buying overpriced tickets for “creative workshops” that either did not take place or were sorely disappointing to those who attended.
She also landed a six-figure deal in 2015 for a book she never delivered.
Furthermore, some reports also claimed she abandoned her New York City apartment because she owed an unpaid rent amount of $40,000 before moving to the Sunshine State.
