fuckception 695 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Raped, bullied, stalked, leered at, sneered at: Kiki Kannibal is the much-reviled teen Internet celebrity that launched a thousand scathing blog comments. This is no way to become famous. If the traditional journey to fame is full of obstacles, then the path to Internet celebrity is laced with landmines. That's the lesson from the long Rolling Stone profile of 18-year-old Kiki Kannibal: Each step of her rise to internet fame was marked by a harrowing level of hostility and drama.In 2006, Kiki (née Kristen Ostrenga) started her first MySpace page when she was 13 with her parents' permission. She concocted the outlandish scene queen Kiki Kannibal character and started amassing friends attracted by her kooky outfits and provocative photos. Pretty soon she was attracting death threats and cyberstalkers, too.But that was nothing compared to what happened when, at 14, she started seeing 18-year-old Danny "Mr. MySpace" Cespedes. He allegedly raped her one night at her house, but when cops tried to arrest him in October of 2007, he threw himself off a parking garage and died. The following backlash of internet hate against Kannibal forced her and her mom to move.That's when our old buddy, stalkery sextortionist Chris Stone entered the picture via his vile tween gossip site Stickydrama. After Cespedes' suicide, Stickydrama relentlessly hounded Kiki, blaming her for his death. Among her detractors—and there are many—the general consensus is that Kiki's relentless self-promotion and fame-seeking meant she was "asking for it": She posed for sexy glamour shots while underaged; she called out her haters in blog posts. "She knows everything can be stopped, she's CHOOSING not to" Moving on to another member of her family, her sister. Over the years, Dakota Rose (née Dakota Ostrenga) has made a name for herself online. Most recently, her fashion videos, in which she shows off make up tips and speaks Japanese, have gone viral—and helped her to establish a career in Japan. She's now appearing in a string of commercials for super popular social game, The Rage of Bahamut. But it's her videos way before this that people continue to talk about—and that Japan is just starting to discover. Japanese TV is stating that Rose is 16—an American police report puts her closer to 19. If the police report is correct, she's knowingly taking advantage of Japan's obsession with youth. This would not be the first time, and it's not likely to be the last. But in youth obsessed Japan, when someone isn't forthright about his or her age, the deception becomes compounded somewhat and the image is once again tarnished. She has been attracting a lot of hate because of her overuse of Photoshop and special effects, which make her look completely different from what she looks like in real life.What's troubling isn't necessarily the alleged photo retouching or age fudging, but rather, some of the videos that were made when Dakota was allegedly 15 or 16 with her sister. Like Kiki, Dakota was just a kid with a MySpace account. And in those days, both spent a lot of time online, shooting their mouths off—as evident by these surviving videos - videos in which she uses slurs or videos in which she makes fun of Chinese people with some very hurtful imagery that's harder to simply explain away, especially where image is everything.
