00:00Millions of people watching your every move, that's like constant terror.
00:21If you have followers, you're not considered a person, you're just a thing that people get to
00:25judge and objectify and call names and bully.
00:56What is it like to be known as Dixie's sister?
00:58I was known as Dixie's sister for a really long time and it was not fun.
01:06Yeah you hated it.
01:08I felt like I was my own person and I did a lot of things that were very unique to me
01:13that we didn't share and I wanted to be appreciated for those things
01:18and instead I was Dixie's sister and that was frustrating.
01:22I don't care.
01:25Who loves the spotlight?
01:48Me.
01:49Well like you don't love it, you're just good at it.
01:52Yes you're good at it.
01:53Best at it.
01:55So
02:06uh
02:24wait
02:36You are a sweetheart, you're adorable, you know that the girls love you, our girls love
02:52you.
02:53She's like, I just love her more every day.
02:54I love her more every day.
02:55Yeah, they love you.
02:56So thank you so much for doing this.
03:06Sometimes I don't want to be happy, don't want it against me, if I'm down just leave
03:34me there, let me be sad.
03:47LA is a very tricky place and people get sucked in, but being around my parents and my family
03:53keeps me so grounded.
04:23Getting hundreds of thousands of hate comments per week is a lot to handle.
04:42Some of the most hurtful comments that I've read about myself online are, she's fatter
04:48than when we got her famous, or she's ugly, they don't like the way my face looks for
04:54some reason.
04:55A lot about my body shape, my body type, which it's close to home because I struggle a lot
05:02with body image, body dysmorphia, bad eating habits.
05:07No one really knows that.
05:08Sophomore year was very hard and I would go to therapy every week and I wouldn't talk.
05:14It has gotten that bad to the point where I felt like I can't go on.
05:26I want to try and keep that as normal as it was.
05:30I'm going to earn everything I do.
05:33I have no idea how this is going to work out.
05:36Knowing what I know about our family, we're going to get through it together to tell a
05:40true story of us.
05:49Showing our mental health journeys I thought was really important to both of us and how
05:53far we've come since filming.
