A Storm of Concern
The concerns about Eugenia’s health escalated after she posted dance videos on TikTok, with many comments focusing on her extremely thin physique.

According to Sergeant Brent Reeves, officers received calls and emails from concerned individuals as far away as Egypt and New Zealand.

A Decade-Long Relationship

Reeves that everything is fine. If this object is absent, he will take appropriate action to ensure her safety.
While Eugenia has always had a slender figure, Sgt. Reeves emphasized that they cannot force her to eat more if she is content with her current size. He affirmed that Eugenia is mentally sound and maintains a positive and cheerful personality during their conversations.
Past Concerns
This is not the first time that fans have expressed concern for Eugenia’s well-being. In 2019, popular YouTuber PewDiePie even encouraged his followers to send her messages of support. Additionally, Eugenia has previously mentioned being placed on a 5150 hold by her friends when she lived in California, feeling betrayed and ambushed by their actions.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Sgt. Reeves stated that Eugenia does eat and even mentioned that she has a fondness for chicken sandwiches.
