Earlier this morning, tweeters expressed concern for 19-year-old YouTube personality Marina Joyce after a string of questionable actions left them confused. The hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce starting trending on Twitter, with her fanbase revealing disturbing images, screenshots and videos of the popular London vlogger. Theories of kidnapping, an abusive boyfriend, ISIS ties and excessive drug use quickly circulated online.

But shortly after the hashtag started trending, Joyce told fans she was safe.
Her local London council also confirmed that she was fine.
However, concerning information and images continue to emerge, and previous evidence is hard to deny. During a recent makeup tutorial, fans noticed a gun laying against her nightstand. One concerned viewer asked if she was ok, to which she responded “yes;)”, but a few seconds later she responded with “no.” The message has since been deleted.
Fans have also pointed out that Joyce shows several signs of abuse, including frequent bruising.

Another video, which shows Joyce advertising a clothing line, drew a ton of skepticism from viewers. In one section, you can see a man’s hand on the left side of the screen holding a piece of paper, implying she’s reading off a script. This struck viewers as being odd since Joyce earned her popularity from her off-the-cuff vlogging style. Viewers claim you can also hear a whispered “help me” at around the 13 second mark of the video.
Others noticed that she looks frightened in recent vlogs and tends to look away from the camera as if someone’s standing there.
Yup, this is officially weird. After evidence kept piling up, fans instructed Joyce to draw a heart on her hand in her next video if she was in danger. The drawing never appeared, but she did wear a heart necklace and made a heart shape with her hands, which is weird AF.

During a recent YouNow livestream, Joyce once again insisted that she was fine, but several viewers pointed out an ominous male presence in the background during taping.
