But whilst it gave the impression she went on the show to get "advice" on the best way to type out her life, she in truth best made the look with the intent to move viral. Ava sat down to talk with Distractify about her time on the show, and why she should not be shamed for chasing clout.
Ava Louise said that she meant everything she said on her first appearance.
While it's common wisdom that almost all of the guests are fed lines on Dr. Phil, Ava admitted that her episode used to be purposefully edited to make her look bad, but she supposed the whole lot she said. She supposed to portray this dramatic "caricature" of internet culture while on the show, but that doesn't imply that it isn't rooted in her character.
"I say I have a caricature and all that, but I'm pretty authentic with it. It's a part of me," the 22-year-old told Distractify completely. "I come up with everything I say that's gone viral."

Ava's choice to use for the show got here after she had reached 36,000 followers on Instagram, and she was searching for a possibility to benefit from it.
"I took inspiration from people like Tana Mongeau, from Trisha Paytas, from Paris Hilton, from Kim Kardashian," she mentioned. "I went on Dr. Phil, knowing I was probably going to go viral because every joke I made and everything I said I pulled from internet culture... in order to get attention for it."

And it labored. Her first appearance on the show has racked up over 4.Five million perspectives on Dr. Phil's YouTube web page on my own, and her Instagram following has grown to 141,000.

Her second appearance on 'Dr. Phil' was her "biggest regret."
After her first look on the show in Feb. 2019, Ava went to L.A. for some other taping in September, where she used to be given a retribution storyline. But Ava says that she did not want it — because she didn't really blank her act up between episodes.
"[Dr. Phil] wanted me to come on and say this person wasn't me and that I just wanted attention, but it is me because I did it — it's a huge part of who I am," she stated. "I didn't know I was going to be typecast to be transformed. I was hungover on the show... I woke up still drunk... I'm not [a good girl]. I'm a messy b---h but I f--king love being a messy b---h."

Out of the whole lot she's finished for web popularity, Ava admits that, because of the false retribution tale Dr. Phil gave her (which best introduced in just below 600,000 views), that second episode was once her "biggest regret."

Ava does not perceive why she's shamed for looking for internet clout.
While Ava isn't the first to say it, she won't hesitate when she tells you, "You sell your soul for this lifestyle... You have to be willing to make that deal with the devil, and I am, and it takes a certain type of person to do it."
But she does not perceive why she's being shamed for doing what more-established influencers already benefit off of.

"[Other influencers] make their career off clout chasing. They make their career off scandal. When there's a problem in their lives, they put it on the internet because they know people will eat that up. And why can't I?" she requested. "All of a sudden I'm the clout chaser because I have 140,000 followers. But if I had 2 million, would I be a clout chaser, or would I just be another influencer who got herself in some drama?"
Of direction, she attributes her Dr. Phil look in assisting the release of her occupation, but she doesn't suppose that it will have to outline her.
"Dr. Phil doesn't define me as a person; it's a TV show I went on to go viral," she stated, noting that going viral is what creates numerous other influencers' careers. "The ones who go viral are more famous than the people who are actually talented... My talent is having no talent. My talent is just getting people's attention."
But at what cost? Ava will tell you that she's prepared to pay whatever the worth is for internet reputation — because it is what she's always wanted.

"I'll take the bullying on the internet, no matter what it does to me, because I want it. I want this lifestyle, I've dreamed of it since I was a little girl," she mentioned. "Britney Spears had a breakdown. Amanda Bynes had a breakdown. A lot of people had breakdowns, but that's iconic as f--k. I'm willing to go down that path and have that breakdown — though I'm not going to shave my head because my hair is pretty."
Because at the finish of the day, Ava nonetheless wants to be an influencer and thinks she's got what it takes to do it.
"I'm very good at being the bad guy. So I feel like it's the worst parts of myself I exploit on the internet for views," she said. "But that doesn't make me a bad person; I'm just chasing the bag."
