Boxxy (Catherine Wayne) Bio
The beloved social media personality was born and named Catherine Wayne on April 28, 1992. She spent most of her early years in California. There is no mention of who her parents are or what schools she attended. It is also unknown if she has any siblings. However, she mentioned that she majored in arts and theater, although she did not reveal the college she graduated from.
Boxxy’s rise to fame was purely accidental. It started in January 2008, when she uploaded two videos to a personal YouTube channel called boxxybabee for her friends at Gaia Online, a lively social networking forum. Later that year the videos started to get a lot of attention after they were reposted on a forum called i-am-bored.com where they were viewed thousands of times and reposted over and over until they find their way to another popular site known as 4chan.
A lot of people were taken with the character she had created. In her videos, Catherine had made up to give her a dark, gothic look. Her Boxxy personality was restless with enthusiasm, brimming with energy and charm that proved to be contagious. She started gaining followers by the hundreds, drawn to her character and very appreciative of the effort, creativity and passion shown in her videos. Within a very short time Catherine had become a viral sensation and all of her social media pages were exploding with posts, followers and engagements.
She capitalized on her popularity by launching a line of merchandise that she sold on eBay. Additionally, she launched a new YouTube channel titled ANewHopeee, which she operated under the name Catherine, with the aim of sharing makeup tips, beauty tutorial, comedy skits, and lifestyle vlogs. Although the channel enjoyed some success, it could not match the popularity and reach of its Boxxy channel.
Far from the chaos and frenzy of being a YouTubestar, Boxxy was able to find work that combined her different talents and interests. In 2013, she worked as a host for Discovery Digital Networks in its Animalist series. A few years later, she landed a job at Disney where she played the character of Marsha in Billy Dilley’s Super-Duper Subterranean Summer animated series.
What happened to him?
While her videos helped launch Boxxy to stardom, they also brought a lot of hate and trouble to her. She received tons of negative comments regarding her character, which led to extreme displays of bullying and antagonism towards YouTubers. Many people have tried to defame and slander her, launching campaigns to taunt and bring her down.
She became the subject of flame wars and denial of service attacks, her channel was repeatedly hacked, and rumors swirled that she was a drug addict and mentally ill person. The most terrifying attack directed at Boxxy was the online disclosure of his personal data, which led to a crowd gathering outside his house to protest. This incident turned out to be the last straw that followed, and then Catherine stopped uploading new content under Boxxy in order to end the harassment.
Where is Boxxy now?
Catherine Wayne may have taken a step back from uploading new content to her platforms, but she still lives fully shielded from the light of the internet. She focused on leading a normal life and being her own person. She also continued to find work as an actress. Her last project dates back to 2018, when she voiced some characters in an indie role-playing game called BoxxyQuest: Gathering of the Storm. Along with her vocal performance, Catherine also helped conceptualize the game, which is a satirical exploration of internet culture.
