Who is Boxxy? Learn all there is to know about the internet personality from the 2000s.
Catherine Wayne is an internet celebrity who became famous in the mainstream for portraying a character called “Boxxy” who was known for her high-energy vlogs. During her early days as YouTuber her alter ego gained a lot of attention but her YouTube channel has gone quiet and fans are wondering what happened to her.
Boxxy was a figure that gained fame in the late 2000s on YouTube. Wayne filmed two videos in January 2008 on Gaia Online addressing her friends and uploaded them to YouTube under the username boxxybabee. Later that year, the videos were reposted on the website i-am-bored.com and then on 4chan.
Boxxy soon made a third video in response to the success of her first two videos. Wayne appears in the videos wearing her iconic eyeliner look and babbling about random topics. This became her signature style and format that made her famous.
Wayne’s videos as Boxxy caused controversy on 4chan and users clashed over whether to favor or condemn the character. This resulted in some flame wars on the site and there were incidents of hacking. Boxxy’s YouTube channel also got hacked and her real identity was revealed.
Wayne has taken to other ventures after her YouTube days.
