Cassy, a participant from Boston on the reality show My Strange Addiction, has revealed that she fabricated her story about practicing “vabbing”—the act of applying vaginal fluids as a perfume—claiming it was a desperate attempt to attract dates. In a candid video posted to YouTube, she admitted to lying about vabbing 50 times a day. Instead, her true addiction was to alcohol, which she says contributed to her feelings of loneliness and unhappiness.
Cassy explained that her initial motivation for appearing on the show was rooted in her desire to find a partner. After facing rejection from various dating shows, she felt compelled to create a sensational narrative to gain attention. “At that time, I was really desperate to find a boyfriend,” she stated. “I thought, if I expose myself, if I put myself on TV, that will increase my chances of finding a relationship.”
Since the episode aired, Cassy claims she has been inundated with interest, stating that she is now active on numerous dating apps and has received over 1,000 messages. She reported going on multiple dates, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner outings, as she searches for a meaningful connection.
The Impact of Honesty on Dating
Despite the controversy surrounding her initial claims, Cassy expressed no embarrassment about her actions. She attributes her lack of shame to a condition known as alexithymia, which affects emotional awareness and expression. This condition raises questions about the authenticity of her statements, as it might ordinarily invoke feelings of regret in similar circumstances.
Her journey highlights the complexities of seeking companionship in a digital age where attention often requires extraordinary measures. While the type of individual attracted to her vabbing story may not align with her long-term relationship goals, the visibility and attention she gained have undeniably altered her dating landscape.
Cassy promises that vabbing was her only fabrication on the show. Now, with a revitalized dating life, she hopes to find “the one” amidst the array of new connections. Her experience serves as a reminder of the lengths some may go to in pursuit of love and the unpredictable nature of reality television.
