"nearly skeletal"??? she is completely skeletal. no debate.

She needs to be taken off all platforms. Her family needs to be investigated as well

You all fail to realize that calling her skeletal is a huge compliment in her mind and motivates her to continue this. Skeletal is her desired result. Shes been a cash cow for her mother/family for over a decade, so as harsh as it is to say, the mothers goal is to keep her happy and producing content for sick people who have a fetish for these types of girls and pay big money for her stay this way. Her mother also knows that the sicker her daughter gets the more views and interaction she gets and in turn she generates more money being in this state. Any normal and caring mother who loves their child and would do anything for them, would have put a stop to this a long time ago, acted in her best interest and sure as hell wouldnt be taking the pics,videos and managing her sick daughters social media accounts when its such a huge contributor to her worsening illness. The mother is clearly mentally ill herself and seems to care more about continuing to generate a profit. She is clearly and actively dying now and if theres any chance of saving her the state she lives in needs to step in, remove her from her mothers influence and home and get an order to place her in treatment or at this stage the intensive care unit in a hospital. Committing suicide is still a crime in most states regardless of the method used and that could be used to potentially save her. If your a believer, now is definitely the time to pray for eugenia, theres great power when it comes to praying in large numbers. Hate, vile comments and banning her is not going to save her life or anyone elses. If your reading this and you know her mother/family, now is the time to have a serious conversation with her/them about discontinuing the enabling and acting with urgency to get her the help she needs.

She needs to be placed into a conservatorship and her parents held accountable since she has been under their care her entire life

Her mother is the person she’s closest to and said in a video “she’s fine she’s just a skinny minny” and also tried to have the friend that got her 5150’d arrested for kidnapping. She will never get better until her mother admits there’s a problem and her mother is the one filming and taking her photos most of the time. It’s truly an awful situation.

She needs to be in a hospital. She needs help.

Ban her and investigate what the hell is really going on with her mentally and with her family.

To me, she looks into the camera like she's absolutely in love with herself. Especially the face closeups. She loves her look.

How that girl has enough energy to stand upright is mind boggling.

FINALLY a real news station! Someone please get the spotlight on the mother and family! Adult protective services need to find a way to her :(

Her mother needs to be investigated for negligence for actively preventing her from getting help, false imprisonment for not letting her leave the house, and financial abuse for controlling her money so she can’t move out of her mother’s home. I’m sure there is a whole slew of other charges for abuse that could be filed if law enforcement would just investigate.

it’s insane her family is allowed to hide her away and say she’s fine because they left CA. She needs to be in custody OF THE STATE. Her family will never help.

The Cooney family needs to be investigated. Yes, Eugenia is an adult, but still being controlled specifically by her mother who enables it all. Parents must advocate for their children, I do not see a mother advocating for the health and well-being of her daughter. The trauma Eugenia carries is unimaginable, whether she even recognizes she is suffering from trauma or not.

It's amazing that she has survived as long as she has!! This has been going on for AGES! I'm shocked that her heart hasn't given out!!!.

I'm honestly really surprized she's still alive since she's been this way for almost 10 years. 😭

The family needs to be investigated and she needs emergency help. Bless her heart! Prayers for you girl in recovery! 🙏🏻❤️

You know it’s getting real when the big news stations are talking about her finally

She recently did a set of videos showing herself doing things shes never done before. For a 30 year old woman it was quite eye opening. She did things like plant a flower, go through a carwash, go to the beach, bake cookies, go on a fairground ride etc. The gardening one ended with her being completely freaked out because she got dirt on her sock. The cookie one, she actually said "I didnt know you could make frosting, I thought you just buy it". The fairground one she freaked out and ended up on a childrens ride. The beach one, she didnt know how to inflate a beach ball! I get the feeling this 'woman' has never been allowed to grow up. She has never had control of her own life which I feel is still the case. Her mum films her videos (some from very strange angles for a parent to film), her mum tells her viewers shes healthy and theres nothing to worry about, her mum tells her viewers she eats (obviously she doesnt) Her mum encourages the skimpy outfits and extravagant shopping trips. When she returned from the last intervention, her mum should have encouraged her to stay away from social media as she was looking so much healthier, but, I guess the money wasnt coming in anymore so Eugenia was once again filmed and plastered over YT, TT etc. The mum doesnt see her wasting away like we do because most of the time Eugenia is alone with her stuffed toys in her recording room where she sleeps on a sofa! The only interaction is when mum tries to make herself look like a decent mum and takes her out somewhere, and even those occasions are filmed from start to finish. Eugenia has no idea what life outside her room is actually about. Someone needs to get her out of that house and somewhere safe!

Crazy that these platforms will ban people for cursing,or the dumbest minor things but they don’t seem to bat an eye that they’re paying a woman for showcasing herself actively starving to death. It’s disgusting, and she needs to be off the internet and in a hospital and her parents need to be in jail for sitting back and pretending there is nothing wrong with her.

This is frightening I do not want my granddaughter thinking that this is an acceptable representation of a healthy woman .

Can we talk about how most of her content is geared toward a young audience and she is not age restricted?

Omg finally! She’s almost 30 and needs to be banned from every platform immediately. She’s not dumb she knows what she’s doing. She does body checks in all her videos.

It’s frightening that people see that sick woman and say that’s goals. This is upside down world. Nothing makes sense anymore.

Everyone is talking about the mom. But the DAD and a BROTHER also live in the same house. It’s not just the mom, they are all in the same house letting this happen and no one seems to want to step up and call authorities. Believe me, there will be charges of neglect and endangerment etc AFTER… something always has to happen before people wake up.

I’m glad this hit a news station. Her bubble world needs to be popped. Her mom has her tucked away under her wing and feeds her illness. She is barely allowed friends and the friends that got her into rehab were ripped away and called kidnappers. The people that frequent her livestreams are not good people for the most part and use her to feed their kinks or are there for some sick kind of fascination and call her pregnant just to watch her squirm. Drastic as it may be, this needs to popped open. She hasn’t got much time left.

She should not only be banned from social media but she should be in a place where they can help her.... It's a miracle she lived so long...

she's 29 years old and she's been at this for 10 years now. you can't help someone who doesn't want it, but the fact that youtube, tiktok, ig, twitter, etc. let her stay on all their platforms (promoting eating disorders and none of it is age restricted) and actually collaborate with her directly (tiktok) is the real problem. as soon as she has no platform, something will instantly change (for better/worse). every agency known to man has been called on her and her mom and lawyer are right there to stop it, minus the 5150/rehab which she was forced into and quickly got skinny again after returning home.

Her parents need to be charged and she needs to be deplatformed. She needs to be involuntarily hospitalized.

I bet she is seeing this and feeling proud of herself for being on the news about this, while most people seeing her have the appropriate and normal reaction of disgust and worry, anorexia is a mental illness so it makes you think irrationally

Her mom said that she’s not worried. Eugenia is “just a skinny-mini” 🙄

People should keep that same energy for obese “influencers”. 💅🏻

It's good to see it's finally making news headlines about her. This needs to get bigger and called out more and youtube definitely needs to step in because this is just ridiculous!

It's good that they are finally recognizing this as a problem. Maybe they will finally do something about it as a state or something. Call adult protective services!

Tiktok needs to be banned forever

Thanks Fox Houston for covering this. Keep putting pressure on youtube

Needs to be banned. Family needs to be investigated.

THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS!!!!

I don't think she'll be alive that much longer. I work in a nursing home and she looks like a resident right before they are dying. The similarity is jarring. I go and watch her videos every couple of months to see if she got better but the most recent one in the purple dress.. I've never seen her look worse 😔

YT needs to remove her and all the obese mukbanging videos. What's sad is that it most likely won't happen.

So glad someone is covering this story. Her videos always show up on my home feed. I am 0% interested in her or her lifestyle, yet KZfaq promotes her videos on my feed. I report them as “harmful” and yet they still pop up.

Most shocking is that her mother is her videographer.

Karen Carpenter wasn't that small. Her heart gave out once she finally decided to get help.

Her Mother needs to be charged.

holy smokes, look at all these people advocating for this woman to be stripped of her rights. either leave her alone, or be kind to her while she's still with us.

Mental illness should not be exploited. She doesn’t see herself as everyone else does. She just knows that everyone is looking at her. Very disturbing and sad.

It's extremely obvious that Eugenia's mother is malicious in some way (Jaclyn Glenn's video). When Eugenia dies because of her anorexia, her mother needs to be held accountable.

how weird is it that people are demanding someone be banned from public view for being *visibly ill* some of y'all need to take a good look at yourselves, and leave the sick girl alone.

Wow, so she’s finally reached mainstream media’s eyes. A couple years ago the calls for her to get help actually reached her and she got off the platform and actually gained a little weight. But then she came back online and now denies that even happened. She actively avoids any criticism that promoting her anorexia is bad for her health and the health of her followers. The only way to stop her is for her to be banned on virtually all social media platforms until she gets help. I feel bad for her, but also she’s 29, almost 30. She knows exactly what she’s doing and while I don’t think she’s a bad person, I do think her reckless behavior will lead to other people getting very sick and dying. She needs to be removed.

Mental illness comes in different forms.

My father was in a German P.O.W. camp for almost 6 years, and when liberated, weighed less than 100 pounds. This woman definitely has dad beat!

The fact that her appearance can influence badly educated people to copy her says how screwed our society is becoming.

It’s. Her. Mom. Her mom makes and keeps Eugenia sick and sheltered so she has to be dependent on her/cannot fit in with society REGARDLESS of Eugenia’s age, she has been abused. Everyone is so focused on Eugenia getting help, not considering the fact that maybe she can’t. We should be asking why she has been emaciated since she was YOUNG. She recently tried to go outside and look at the moon, there were at least 4 locks on the front door you could hear, as well as BELLS, her mom instantly woke up/was in the room (must have been sleeping nearby??) and told her she couldn’t go outside. Eugenia is 100% dependent on her mom because her mom keeps it that way. When Eugenia passes, I hope her mom is charged and the truth comes out.

I don't think "influencer" is the right title to give her. We don't want her to influence our children that THAT is ok. I hope she can get the help that she truly needs. It's an illness.

As a 56 year old grandmother who once had a horrible eating disorder (and extremely, fortunately got well with 25 years of intensive therapy) I was still interested in seeing this woman with a twinge of envy. Most people don't survive 85 pounds and although I was very fortunate and am actually about 20 pounds overweight- that feeling stays with most of us at some level and seeing this isn't healthy for anyone

I'm glad SOMEONES taking an interest in this. Something needs to be done.

I really hate how everybody simply says all of these things about the influence Eugenia has because of her body, the way her body looks, countless theories on why she is so skeletal, but never that she suffers from AN EATING DISORDER! She’s not some wacko like the internet and media are making her out to be, she is somebody who is sick and struggling and is not getting the proper support from her own mother who practically exploits her emotionally vulnerable daughter. It’s time everyone opens their eyes and puts the pressure on Eugenia’s Mother who has been behind the camera this whole time instead of getting her the care and medical attention that she needs. Eugenia is not to blame, she has suffered.

Somebody should have banned her 10 years ago. You cannot starve yourself like this and still have a positive influence on people. Who cares if shes nice? There's children looking up to this mess, moreso now than when I was a teenager!

I've known about Eugenia since I was around 11 or 12...now I am 21 and to see in the decade since she's still struggling severely is heartbreaking.

Her mother is a greedy enabler. I wish her all the best.

She looks ridiculous parading around with clothing hanging off her bones. And she’s uploaded vids lately “I’m going away,” or “The Truth About Me.” She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing

Her mom disturbs me the most because she's watching her daughter waste away in her own home and she just enables her. Clearly Eugenia's mentally disabled in some way (anorexia in itself is a severe mental disorder) but the mom just ignores all of that. For what? Money? That's what I've been trying to figure out all these years.

Yes Tik Tok Need to Ban Her...and Encourage Her To Seek Help. 🙏 for this Young Lady.

I must agree. She hasn’t even tried. One time she went to treatment but it was forced by the county. 1 month later she was back home and completely recovered /s ( nobody believes that ) I’m sick of wondering if she would ever collapse but her Mother ( is that her biological mom? ) is totally wanting her to just make money and die. It’s so sad and abusive.

Thank you!!! This is not cool, this is not right and her mother records her constantly. It’s hard to watch. Investigate her mother, family. Ban her from every social media platform.

Honestly, I'm glad this is finally getting some news coverage. This girl has needed help for a long time and at this point she's just documenting her death and giving "inspiration" to young girls who have enough body image issues. She needs to be stopped.

Those outfits are a -10 in itself not only ban her institutionalize her

Not only is her image having a negative impact on young girls (primarily) but also the fact that Eugenia constantly claims that she's fine and healthy... Younger people who have eating disorders will think it's ok to starve themselves to that extreme because Eugenia can do it and is "fine and healthy", ignoring the fact that it's extremely dangerous and deadly.

How many mothers are telling their daughters "you're not healthy. This could kill you". And the daughters see Cooneys videos and think.. well, she's healthy and dancing and singing so mom's full of it. So infuriating.

Her parents needs to be investigated. They know she is like this and the mother, Deb, instigates this by helping her film content instead of helping her recover. Please do something about this.

Multiple channels that feature her get banned, yet hers stays up. That speaks volumes. Why is she still monetized? KZfaq and Hollywood may be one in the same, she’s under contract with them I believe and they tell her to remain thin. Beyond shocking! There is no other explanation at this point. KZfaq needs to be held accountable.

👏🏻👏🏻time to ban her permanently and for her to be hospitalized

Banning her would be so conformed and terrible on so many levels.

She’s been doing this for years and I can’t believe no one has stepped in

Why hasn't anyone in her personal life intervened and taken her to a hospital? Inexcusable

The court should determine a compulsory treatment because she's risking her life only slowly. She's not capable of taking care of herself behind the camera she needs help to clean her diapers and everything.

She isn’t allowed to leave the house without her mom, either Y’all should know that

Basically, in my opinion, her mother enables and keeps her on this path. I've seen how they are together and she has her convinced she is not sick. $$$

Nearly? She *is* skeletal. In my opinion, it’s not only her appearance that has a negative affect, but it’s also what she says in regards to it. She regularly tells her viewers that she’s “fine,” she’s “eating and everything,” and that her “doctor says she’s healthy.” That’s indirectly telling her audience that it’s fine, healthy according to a doctor, and safe to restrict her food to such an extreme. Her mother has also come on screen in Eugenia’s videos and said eugenia is fine, she’s “seen Eugenia’s bloodwork and not worried at all,” and that she’s “just skinny.” I think it would be a lot different if her channel was at least age restricted and she was upfront that her illness isn’t healthy.

I hope that if she passes away, her account is disabled so no one can profit from this. The thought of certain people continuing to make bank off this tragic situation, sickens me.

So glad that this is becoming more publicly known. She needs an intervention. Whoever knows her mom needs to speak up, now! Because her mom is the only one I feel who has control over the situation.

She needs to be hospitalized

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's awareness. That last video of her dancing in the purple outfit was deeply disturbing. This is the thinnest she's ever been. She needs help like right now as she's in death's door.

This needs to be handled delicatly we dont want her to be more depressed but she needs to understand that she cant post until she gets back into treatment

1) why are they showing her images all over the screen for people to be triggered? And 2) WHY DID HE ASK HER WEIGHT AT HER HEAVIEST????? So awful

Prayers for the healing of those struggling with this condition 🙏🏼❤️

She needs to be put in a hospital and have her condition actually treated, whatever it may be. If it IS an eating disorder like everyone thinks then she really needs the medical and psychological treatment that comes with it. If it isn't, then she needs to be put in a hospital to figure out why she has no body fat whatsoever which is awful for the brain. I believe her mother is also at fault for this. It is our jobs as parents to protect our children, even from themselves.

Her mother controls her at 29yrs old. Her mother should be investigated because she says on line that Eugenia is fine. Something does need top be done before this young lady dies and she has young girls wanting to be like her. So sad.

If she is going to get ban , do the same to all the " influencers " doing all kinds of crap that kids are watching.

It’s been like 10 years and this finally made the news 💀

So your saying - If you have health issues you cannot be on social media cause you make others uncomfortable? Stop letting your children on the internet. That part of the problem is solved , there , your welcome.

I have been in recovery from anorexia for a few years. Trust me- it's always there. It never goes away. She's very sick and promoting death. I had my first heart attack at the age of 24- then another at the age of 32 then a minor stroke at 40. It was all from starving myself. I never thought I could get better. I'm 56 and 2 years ago when my husband died, I didn't realize I was starving myself again -until my friend told me I looked like I was dying. So here I go again.

I came across Eugina Cooney's channel about a year ago, and I was horrified then. She's even more emaciated now. My God, I've never seen an anorexia case as advanced as hers. This woman is in crisis mode. She needs to be hospitalized, immediately. When I look at her, I remember Karen Carpenter. The world lost the light, and the angelic, haunting, singing voice of that dear, gifted lady, to anorexia. And she was fighting for her life. She wanted to recover. Karen Carpenter was thirty two years old when she passed. Eugenia, hasn't even come to the point, yet, of being able to admit she needs help. God help her. She is close to death in her present state. 😔🙏♥️

She doesn't want help and knowingly hurts her fans. She needs to be banned and forced into help

She's not being taken off because she makes money from the platforms She's on! They need to be held accountable as well as her! It's very sad, to see someone on social media that clearly very sick, mentally and physically 😢

Yuck 🤢

I'm glad you did this segment. She has still not been banned from you tube and she is still influencing people especially young ones. People are watching a person literally dying online. Now she's also on TikTok influencing the young.

Nearly skeletal? Let's get honest. She is a skeleton with skin. That girl should have been committed to an eating disorder facility, for years. Her mother is a monster, who should be in prison.

I've been in the hospital dying with pneumonia for over a week....couldn't eat much and lost several pounds. When I was well enough to leave, I was so weak that I could barely stand up without fainting. How Eugenia has any strength at all to sit up for hours much less stand, walk and dance is beyond me. It almost seems like something else is coming into play here. Is she taking adderal and vitamins?? Is there some miracle juice she's drinking to keep her alive?? 😮

Like why are we glorifying this stuff???

The fact that this is finally on the news…
