When she confronted her cameraman about the purpose of the photos, he allegedly replied, “Instagram Stories,” before attempting to “pull the phone away” and delete the images.
F1 Elly explained that she immediately asked her cameraman to show her the notes, and after a closer look at the photos, she realized the truth and became disgusted.
F1 Elly continued streaming after that, but not to create more content, but because she “didn’t feel safe” being alone with “someone she didn’t recognize” anymore.

In conclusion, F1 Elly stated that the incident was frightening and “stressful,” but that she is fine now and is still processing the incident.
