Bhad Bhabie only found out truth about her Dr Phil episode when she was 19

Whether you know Bhad Bhabie or not, you’ll definitely know her infamous Dr Phil line.

But it might surprise you to know that the rapper didn’t know the truth about the viral episode until she was 19-years-old.

Crazy right?

Danielle Bregoli, also known as 'Cash Me Outside girl', first reached fame during an appearance on the chat show when she was just 13.

Bregoli appeared on a 2016 episode titled 'I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime' with her mom, who wanted to find her daughter some help for her antisocial behavior.

But it was this moment which changed her life forever when she said to the audience: "Cash [sic] me outside, how 'bout that?"

This subsequently led to Bregoli, who recently welcomed her first child, becoming a viral meme, giving her a platform to open up about her life to fame and fortune.

However, because of the terms of the show, she was whisked off to a camp for troubled teens in Utah called Turn-About Ranch straight after.

Bregoli said she had no idea that she’d become a meme, and once she had found out about how she propelled herself into fame, the rapper was not pleased.

Speaking on Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low With EmRata podcast last year, Bregoli said: “Imagine you get home from being in this f**king f**ked up place for f**king six months and then you open your phone and go on Facebook and all you see is yourself, and you’re 13.”

She went on to explain that it left her thinking: “I didn’t kill nobody. I didn’t touch nobody kid. I didn’t kill no puppy.

"Why am I here? Even the worst of the worst don't get treated like that.”

“I actually found out on my 19th birthday that my mom had been emailing Dr Phil since I was two years old,” she claimed.

“My mom is a very narcissistic person and, you know narcissists, they like a crowd - figuratively and literally, they like a crowd. Because they feel like, ‘Well I can't convince the people who really know me, so I can convince others of whatever narrative I want to play'.”

But Bregoli didn’t let her fame go to waste and has since launched a rap career and an OnlyFans account where she charges $23.99 a month for a subscription to her account.

According to Forbes, she reportedly pulled in $1 million just six hours after joining the platform.
