If you’ve been on the internet for a few years you surely know the name of Belle Delphine, that girl who emerged with the various trends that were experienced during 2018 in networks such as TikTok. But her fame reached unexpected points when she made one of the most curious and beneficial marketing moves of all: selling water from her bathtub, thanks to this she reached an unexpected worldwide fame. And although this sounds like the story of a very successful girl, the truth is that it was difficult for her, something she explained in detail in an interview.
Belle Delphine and the problems she experienced as the most famous E-girl
Some time ago, the famous “internet girl” Belle Delphine was a guest on Louis Theroux’s podcast, where, as expected, the life of one of the people who was considered one of the most important within the internet communities was explored in much more depth. And what surprised many was to learn that behind that “waifu” that many loved was a young woman who had to live a hard life because of her decisions, and now we share some of her best confessions:
His first H-style video raised a million-dollar sum
One of the points that Belle Delphine touched on was her change of content, going from being just a pretty girl showing normal pictures, to now create all kinds of “whimsical” content without any kind of filter. And this change was apparently expected by many of her fans, that’s why the first video of this style she made managed to raise more than $6 million dollars, although the profits were expected, not everything was good news.
Her father finds out about her new content and trouble ensues
And as expected, her relatives found out about her new profession, in this case the most affected was her father, who was the last to do so and who had the most violent reaction by sending her many strong messages, disowned her and stopped talking to her. Although this affected her, the truth is that she expected this reaction.
As for how she found out, Belle Delphine says that it happened after thanks to her video, she managed to buy the house of her dreams, seeing this, her father began to doubt that a young woman under 25 years old was buying a very expensive house, investigating and finding its contents.
The famous sale of “Water Bath” and the other ideas I had of this nature.
Although Belle Delphine was already well known by several of the internet communities, her worldwide fame would come in 2019, when she would start selling an unexpected product, but with an out-of-this-world success: selling the water from her bathtub after having used it for a price of $30 dollars. This idea, which at first might not seem flashy or that it was not going to have many sales, sold out of stock in just 2 days from its launch.
Belle Delphine commented on the podcast how in the beginning she didn’t expect to sell toilet water, but rather her choices were different. First, she was going to sell saliva, but as she couldn’t produce that much in a short time she discarded the idea to move on to the second one, in this case wanting to sell hair, but with the amount of followers she had, she would quickly go bald. That’s when the idea of selling her famous “Water Bath” came up.
The problem of the followers who harassed her
Being so recognized in the networks, the most dangerous “fans” began to want to have a little more of Belle Delphine, so many went beyond the limits as to how to deal with a famous person. Among one of the strongest cases that Belle Delphine had to suffer was that of a follower who always wrote her letters, sent gifts, but above all, and what led to the girl having to resort to the police, was that this one harassed her mother.
How much Belle Delphine earns today and whether she regrets her “whimsical” content.
Today, and as a person already included in the world of E-girls, Belle Delphine commented in the interview how much she is earning today with that content, which apparently remains her most important source of income. In terms of money, she says that her earnings can fluctuate every month, being that in a good moment or a video that goes viral can increase her numbers a lot, but normally and per month she finds herself earning $1 million dollars.
And although her earnings are just a dream for millions of people, Belle Delphine comes clean and comments on how she would have really preferred to have never uploaded her first video: she would love to go back to not being known by anyone. Although she knows that this is already impossible, at one point she even tried to delete all her images and videos from the internet, but that was already a hopeless case.
With this interview we were able to know a little more about Belle Delphine, who was considered by many the most famous E-girl and one of the precursors of this definition, where her life was not really a dream, but she had to live some strong hardships, but with which she learned to live with.
