The Truth About YouTuber Erika Costell Finally Revealed

She may have made her debut as Jake Paul's girlfriend, but before that, this YouTuber hustled behind-the-scenes of his infamous Team 10. Even if you already know about her fake wedding, public split, and her own breakout channel, this is the untold truth of Erika Costell. According to Refinery 29, Costell left Middle Tennessee State University, where she was studying business administration, to focus on modeling. She played an extra in the TV drama Nashville, but found it harder and harder to get opportunities when she moved to L.A. and signed with Wilhelmina. Costell admitted that acne almost ruined her modeling career, revealing to fans, "I literally remember like going into my agency. My agent was like 'I can't send you to this casting, like, your face just looks, like, angry.'" Admitting that her skin was in fact red and inflamed, the upcoming model revealed that the entire situation left her feeling less than happy about her appearance. The outlet reported that the star was racking up debt in L.A. and quote, "sleeping in a living room she found on Craigslist." At one of her lowest points, she had just $7 to her name, but she crossed paths with Jake Paul shortly after, who just happened to be looking for an assistant.
