Whatever Happened to Lesbian YouTubers Bria and Chrissy?
Bria Kam and Chrissy Chambers began posting videos to YouTube in 2012. They introduced themselves as a lesbian couple creating music, commentary, and personal content focused on their relationship.
Viewers followed their milestones, watched them celebrate anniversaries, move in together, get engaged, and eventually marry. They also watched as the couple shared details of their private struggles, including Chrissy’s experience with alcoholism and her later legal battle against a man who had uploaded non-consensual videos of himself raping her online.
Chrissy disclosed that she used alcohol to manage the symptoms of undiagnosed PTSD. Her drinking escalated to the point of endangering her life. Bria described an incident in which she returned home and found Chrissy unconscious, with physical injuries and signs of intoxication. Chrissy was hospitalized, and afterward began the process of recovery.
I believe it was around 2016 that, Chrissy publicly shared her experience as a victim of image-based sexual abuse. Her ex-boyfriend had recorded videos of himself raping her and later posted them online. Because the videos were filmed in the United States but uploaded from the United Kingdom, neither jurisdiction initially claimed responsibility. Chrissy and Bria spent years working with legal teams across both countries. Around 2018, Chrissy became the first person in the U.S. to win a civil lawsuit for non-consensual pornography.
After being demonetized on YouTube and other platforms, Bria and Chrissy created an account on OnlyFans. Chrissy described the move as empowering. She stated that producing nude content allowed her to reclaim bodily autonomy after being filmed without consent in the past. Bria also participated in the platform. They described it as a way to express themselves without censorship and to support themselves financially after facing restrictions elsewhere.
The couple also explored polyamory. They entered multiple relationships with other women. Bria later stated that the arrangement caused significant distress. She said she had agreed to open the relationship under certain conditions, but that the boundaries they established changed over time. Chrissy eventually began a separate relationship with another woman, whom she identified as a primary partner. Bria described this as the point where the marriage began to deteriorate.
In a joint video released around 2021, Bria and Chrissy announced their separation and intention to divorce. Both emphasized that the decision was mutual and that they continued to care for each other. Bria explained that she had initiated the separation after Chrissy asked to divide her time between Bria and another partner. Bria said she no longer felt prioritized in the relationship and that the dynamic had become harmful to her well-being.
Since the breakup, both women are still active in so-called adult entertainment. Both women are still posting on OnlyFans with their new girlfriends. Bria actually said she was trying to create a porn production company.
As I mentioned, Chrissy was once the victim of being filmed while being raped. Those videos were shared online for male strangers to watch. She fought for years to have them taken down. After going through something like that, going to make explicit content online seems so crazy. The same men who watched those videos without her consent could easily be watching her now. They might be paying a couple dollars a month to get more of what they already stole. She might think she has control now, but there’s no real way to know who’s watching. No way to make it safe. Calling it empowerment doesn’t change what it is. The same men are still in control.
It’s hard to imagine any relationship staying intact once you start bringing in polyamory or turning your sex life into something you sell. The moment intimacy becomes content or something to share with strangers for money, the foundation starts to crack.
