What you'll learn

Violet Myers is trying to gross you out. If she sees you staring a little too long at the gym, or if she catches a vibe that feels like a "victim" narrative, she starts vlogging about her skin masks and her shower routine. It’s a tactical defense mechanism—a way to make people think she’s weird or "disgusting" so they’ll leave her alone. It’s a sharp contrast to the high-glamour, high-gloss image that has turned her into one of the most recognizable faces in digital entertainment.

Sitting down on The Lexis Star Show, Myers isn't just representing a brand; she’s managing a sprawling empire that spans anime, gaming, and a new custom toy line. But six years into a meteoric rise that started when she was just 22, the "spinner" who became a superstar admits that the one thing she wanted as a kid—fame—is the very thing that occasionally makes a trip to the gym a logistical nightmare.

"I Can't Have a Normal Life Anymore"

When Myers first entered the industry in 2018, she was a clinical psychology student looking to pay for college. She didn't dream of being an adult actress; she fell into it through a relationship and a series of research deep-dives. Then, a meme happened. A photo featuring her agent looking like a "creepy uncle" in the background went viral on Twitter, and 10,000 followers appeared overnight. The momentum never stopped.

"I wanted the fame so much as a kid that now... I can’t go outside without getting recognized. It’s nice to have a normal life sometimes."

Now 29, Myers looks back at her 22-year-old self with a protective lens. She mentions her sisters, noting that she wouldn't let them follow her path, largely because of the privacy tax. It’s the "ugliest" moments—sweatpants, no makeup, leaving the gym—where the recognition hits the hardest. "I’m probably disappointing you right now," she jokes about the fans who expect the filtered version of the woman they see on screen.

The Business of "Delicious Candy"

Beyond the screen, Myers is pivoting into the hardware of the industry. She brought the first look at her "Delicious Candy" toy line to the studio, a collection of silicone toys designed with a candy-coated aesthetic. The inspiration? A cold glass candy cane dildo she used during a Christmas shoot that felt too uncomfortable. She spent a year researching materials to ensure the line wouldn't "throw off your pH," focusing on sensitivity and a "stealth" look that won't alert the cleaning lady.

It’s part of a broader evolution. Myers is no longer just a performer; she’s a strategist who paces her career like an athlete. She treats her major scenes like a basketball season—one "big" milestone a year to ensure she’s always better than the previous version. Her prep routine is equally disciplined: a workout to sweat out the nerves, good music, and a "relaxing gummy" to keep from overthinking the technicalities of a multi-person set.

"Every year I need to get better and be a better performer... It’s kind of like basketball. You have to be better than you have every year."

Nerdy Guys and "Medium Ugly" Green Flags

When the conversation shifts to dating, the "boss" energy of being the oldest in her household comes out. Myers is looking for a guy who isn't intimidated by her tax bracket—and she’s found that "nerdy guys" are the ultimate green flag. "A guy’s too busy trying to catch up on his show or with his video games that he won’t even pay attention to other girls," she says, adding that her type leans toward "medium ugly" because she values stability over flash.

As for the future, Myers is already dreaming of an exit strategy that looks a lot less like a red carpet and a lot more like a sanctuary. While she’s currently consistently in the Top 20 on Fanvue and managing a team of editors and coordinators, the end goal is a farm. She wants cows, chickens, and pigs—all rescued from slaughterhouses—to live out a quiet life far from the camera’s lens. But for now, the empire is still growing, one viral meme and brightly colored "gummy worm" toy at a time.

  • Started industry work at 22 while studying Clinical Psychology.

  • Winning three fan-voted awards recently, which she values more than industry nods.

  • Has undergone four surgeries, noting her recent "internal bra" procedure in Miami was the most successful.

  • Plays the trumpet—a hidden talent she’s kept mostly off-camera.

"I would never let [my sisters] do this... not in a bad way. Just like I can't have a normal life anymore."
