The Problem With Cash Me Outside Girl That Nobody Is Talking About

The Problem With Cash Me Outside Girl That Nobody Is Talking About

Is there a deeper meaning behind her behaviour?

She's rapidly become the social media star of 2017.

Danielle Bregoli, AKA 'Cash Me Ousside" girl, has become the focus of GIFS, memes and many a video.

It's been reported that she is in line to make $1m this year alone from attending private parties and events - earning up to $40,000 per occasion.

But, it could be possible that Bregoli, who rose to fame after her appearance on Doctor Phil, has been abused as a child and this could have led to her behaviour.

Bregoli rose to fame after being taken on Dr Phil by her mother who had seemingly given up on trying to control her.

Now, new footage could possibly explain why she behaves as she does.

Emily Cherry, head of participation at the NSPCC, knows all too well that the impact of child abuse could last a lifetime.

"Particularly if the abuse is in early childhood," Emily told LADbible. "It affects later attachment and ability to form healthy relationships right through to marriage and your own children.

"We do know, for some people, if they abused, they may come on to be abusers themselves."

Although the source of the footage is not known, nor do we know the context, there would appear to be abuse coming from Bregoli's mum.

There are slapping exchanges between the two as well as shouting from the mother who yells "give it to me bitch" while Bregoli appears to be on the phone.

WARNING: VIOLENT CONDUCT

There are also subtle differences between boys and girls for the effects of childhood abuse.

"We do see a lot of boys becoming aggressive inappropriately," explained Cherry.

"For girls, particularly around mental health, it's around suicidal tendencies, depression and self-harm.

"Self-harm isn't always cutting yourself. It can be turning to alcohol and drugs and being sexually promiscuous.

"Self-harming is a way of coping, a way of calming yourself. It's something that helps them cope with the thoughts as they can control it.

"They feel it's their fault, then if you hurt yourself it's all about the control.

If Bregoli did suffer neglect as a child, then Cherry highlighted the importance of her sourcing support and help for her troubles.

"The real key is that when abuse happens you get locked in a prison that is your mind," said Emily.

"This can be unlocked by counselling and therapy whereby you can begin to accept what happened to you, learn positive techniques and you can move on.

"If you don't get support it will affect your mental health."

The support offered not only by the NSPCC, but several child abuse charities, can help victims come out of the other side, with light at the end of the tunnel.

"Every day I meet inspirational people who share their stories because they've come out the other side. We need to make sure the victims can move on," said Emily.

She continued: "You cannot let the abuse define you. Those who have had suicidal thoughts later in life tend to be the ones who've not had the opportunity to explore and when they have those dark thoughts, what else they can do about it.

"It's about building yourself small goals. Use art, music, drama - something that's positive."

Social media can be a useful tool but also a harmful tool.

Danielle has become an internet sensation and now 'cashes' in on the fame. A sense of almost encouragement to behave in the same fashion that she has become known for.

"There could be a downward spiral with anyone," explained Emily. "There is a risk in sharing stories on social media, which can bring back triggering memories, which later lead to those dark thoughts.

"Like anything in childhood, we act on what we learn. If a child learns that sex, for example, is acceptable whenever, wherever and with whoever, you may take this on to later life."

Could it be that due to Danielle's upbringing she believes this behaviour is acceptable, egged on by a social media fan-base?

"It is never okay for a child to experience abuse," concluded Cherry. "It can be empowering for victims to speak out. But it has to happen so they don't suffer further abuse."

Instead of being a comedy outset, perhaps it is time we sat up and looked behind the television camera.
