Belle Delphine is a pink-wigged 19-year-old cosplayer, gamer, and social media star who made headlines by selling her used bathwater to her fans online. Who is she, really?

Delphine said,

I sold around 500 units, far more than I expected, and I had to rebuy containers as I didn’t have enough!

According to Snopes, the whole STD story turned out to be a hoax launched by a fake Daily Mail Twitter account. Delphine herself also personally refuted the herpes claims on Instagram…
