It hasn't been all puppies and boyfriends for Olivia Jade Giannulli. She came under fire in 2017 after she got into a car accident — while filming herself driving. As detailed by the Daily Mail, the video (which has since been made private) shows Giannulli recording herself on her phone while driving home from a hair appointment. She's singing along to the radio and taking shots of the road when a truck crashes into her car from behind. Luckily, a police officer was nearby and was able to stop traffic so Giannulli and the other involved driver could exchange information.
Giannulli's car ended up being towed from the scene. The then-teenager reported she was mostly okay, telling the camera, "My head hurts a little, but I was just more panicked."
Many fans sent messages of love to the YouTuber after the accident, but others were upset that she was vlogging while driving in the first place. Giannulli then promised never to drive distracted again, writing in the video comments, "I am so lucky that I am okay and that the other people in the crash are okay too."
