Jessi Smiles claps back at Gabbie Hanna for calling her assault “drama” 

Jessi Smiles recently called out Gabbie Hanna for downplaying her assault and calling it a "drama." She also informed her fans that she would be responding to Gabbie Hanna's villainizing video soon.

Prior to their ongoing saga, Gabbie Hanna and Jessi Smiles were close friends. However, things took a turn as the latter was "sexually assaulted" by her then-boyfriend, Curtis Lepore. Hanna then publicly pretended to support her "friend" but was exposed for liking a tweet from 2014 in support of Lepore.

Later on, Hanna then came under fire for openly defending Lepore and beginning a feud with Smiles, "victim shaming" her.

In the message, Hanna called Smiles' assault a "drama." However, she tried to defend herself hours later, claiming that she only called it a "drama" because the news referred to her assault as that.

Hanna also claimed to only support Lepore due to feeling "lonely and tired." Hours later, she released a video portraying herself as the victim of the entire situation.
