    Kiwi web sensation Lonelygirl15 NO LONGER LONELY!

    Words: Leena Tailor.

    With her popular YouTube alter ego “Lonelygirl15”, Kiwi teen Jessica Phillipps went from a smalltown girl from Mount Maunganui to a trailblazing online phenomenon in 2006 – and she made headlines worldwide when it was revealed her viral video diary was in fact a scripted series.

    “When it blew up, I was excited, but it felt unreal,” Jessica tells Woman’s Day. “I was like, ‘This isn’t meant to happen this quickly.’ I felt like I didn’t deserve it.”

    Fifteen years on, after becoming one of YouTube’s earliest stars and shifting to Hollywood, the 34-year-old is no longer lonely, having found loveactor Tim Phillipps, the father of her two-year-old son Rory, and she’s finally ready to reflect on her crazy journey to happiness.
