Little About Jacob Sartorius
Even before the rumors, Jacob was quite popular and had a successful career. In 2016, he released his new single “Sweatshirt”, which charted on the Hot 100 in the United States and in Canada.
He was named the ninth-most-searched musical artist of 2016 by Google. And you might be pleasantly surprised to discover that Jacob Sartorius has over 23.8 million TikTok followers.
Before Vine’s closure in 2017, his lip-syncing videos on the platform had more than 8 million followers as of August 2016.
He believed social media provided him a getaway from bullying, noting, “Before Musical.ly, I wasn’t the most outgoing. The app helped me goof off. It’s like no one is watching beside the camera.”
Jacob Talked About Getting Bullied
Jacob also revealed, “I tried 3 different schools last school year and still got verbally attacked, pushed, and teased for things as small as my ears.”
In another interview, Jacob said, “Well, a lot of the bullying came from doing this type of stuff, like the stuff outside of school that was more creative and less sports-oriented. I think around seventh grade was when it got really bad, enough to leave school. There were kids threatening my life on the daily.”
Also added, “There’s a lot of hate and it caused me to maybe at times be a version of myself that I’m not even really. Sometimes it makes you have to try to be yourself even more than you are. Well, I got to show them who I am.
But I think taking a step back and taking a deep breath and knowing that I’ll just keep expressing, keep doing me at my own pace. There’s no need to change anything I’m doing for anyone.”
Lastly, Sartorius was in a relationship with Millie Bobby Brown in 2018.
