Gigi Expresses Feeling “Unloved” And “Alone” In Viral YouTube Video
Ten months ago, on Dec. 10, 2024, Gigi shared a heartfelt and vulnerable YouTube video updating her supporters on her life. In one moment, she spoke about being with someone for what they can provide, saying she isn’t about that and wants genuine love. Reflecting further, she opened up about her childhood, explaining that although she had all the material things, she never truly felt loved.
“I was a very spoiled kid; I had everything,” she said, “but what I was lacking was the feeling of true love.”

She went on to say that she wanted someone who would listen and be there for her, adding that it’s often easier for her to get through life alone because she never had that support as a child. It seems the video initially went unnoticed, but a clip recently resurfaced online, spreading quickly across social media and catching her mother’s attention.

Ashlee Monroe Responds To Daughter’s Claims, Blasts Kai Cenat Over Background Check
As responses to the resurfaced video grew, Ashlee Monroe took to Instagram to address Gigi directly, tagging her in the post. She expressed disappointment in Gigi’s sentiments, calling her “ungrateful”, “disrespectful,” and “mean.”
But Monroe didn’t stop there. In an emotional 19-minute Instagram video, she opened up further about the toll her daughter’s comments took on her, including being unable to sleep for two days. Monroe reflected on her own struggles growing up and her efforts to give her children a better life. She claimed she “saved” Gigi from negative situations in Louisiana, saying, “If it wasn’t for me, she would’ve been pregnant by a bum.”
Monroe also called out Kai Cenat, alleging that he had researched Gigi and her circle. She also claimed he advised Gigi to distance herself from her mother and best friend to protect her reputation. Monroe added that her daughter has become unrecognizable since the relationship began and said Cenat has never reached out to sit down with her. Additionally, Ashley Monroe shared alleged text messages between herself and Gigi. As of now, neither Kai Cenat nor Gigi has publicly responded to the claims.

Another Instagram user @rianadionnee wrote, “But why aint nobody discussing how Kai tryna isolate her from her mm because its a bad look like huh”
While Instagram user @kevoflickz wrote, “I hate that instead of parents acknowledging kids’ trauma or at least apologizing they act like it never happened or will try to make it seem like you’re ungrateful. Nobody said u didn’t provide. She said you weren’t there for her to be able to express certain stuff. That’s all.”
Instagram user @damnthatsniquee wrote, “Seems like a little jealousy to me cause the fact she said.. the woman Kai with is her living through her daughter.. now idk that park kinda 🥴 (not saying it’s true but)”
Another Instagram user @rhohuncho wrote, “Gigi wrong. She’s supposed to have the awareness to kno what saying that on the internet was going to do. It wasn’t going to be percieved correctly regardless but people pander on the internet cause they get to control the perception”
While Instagram user @simplyniamarie wrote, “Two things can be true at once. Just because you did your best with what you had as a parent does not mean your children received it in the way you want them to. Daughter’s feelings are valid. Mom get offline and listen and learn from your daughter”
