Cassy, a woman from Boston, recently revealed that her claims about practicing “vabbing”—a trend involving the application of vaginal fluids as perfume—were fabricated. In a candid video posted to YouTube, she admitted to falsely stating that she engaged in this practice up to 50 times a day in hopes of attracting more romantic interests.
Initially appearing on the reality show My Strange Addiction, Cassy stated that she collected her own vaginal discharge to apply as a natural scent. However, she has since confessed that her real struggle was with alcohol addiction. In her video, she explained, “I was drinking a lot. I was eating a lot of processed food and I was just genuinely unhappy and lonely.”
Cassy applied to several dating shows but faced rejection, which she attributes to not meeting attractiveness standards. Desperate for companionship, she turned to the concept of vabbing, believing it could increase her visibility on television. “At that time, I was really desperate to find a boyfriend,” she noted. “And I thought, if I expose myself, if I put myself on TV, that will increase my chances of finding a relationship.”
Following her appearance on the show, Cassy reported a surge in dating activity. She is now active on a dozen dating apps and claims to have received over 1,000 messages. “Since the episode aired, I’ve been going on breakfast, lunch, dinner dates. Hopefully, I can find ‘the one,'” she remarked.
Despite the controversy caused by her initial claims, Cassy maintains that the vabbing story was her only fabrication. She has expressed that she does not feel shame about her actions, attributing this to a condition known as alexithymia, which affects emotional awareness. While some may find it difficult to trust her statements, Cassy’s quest for attention and companionship continues.
Her journey highlights the extremes some individuals may go to in order to find love and validation in a world increasingly influenced by social media and reality television. Cassy’s story serves as a cautionary tale about the lengths to which people may go when feeling lonely and disconnected.
