To be perfectly fair, I don't think Kelly ever did claim that Gina was a prostitute. I do believe some of her prostitute narrative as there is enough evidence on her journal to prove that she did live that life, but just like everything else in Kelly's life, she's intertwined it with her absurd fantasy world.
Basically, I believe that Kelly was a prostitute in Regina.
I believe that she lived at the YWCA.
I believe that the police were not all that nice to her.
I believe that she had some problematic clients.
I believe that Gina was not a prostitute.
I believe that she was probably raped and beaten and ripped off. I believe she went through some horrible things.
I don't believe that she was forced to eat a dog.
I don't believe she is being stalked. I don't believe Paul is a real person, and if he is, I don't believe he's followed her from city to city.
I have very little sympathy for Kelly because of how deeply she embellishes everything, and because of her chronic self-pitying refusal to get better. There are thousands of women who have been through the same or worse who live normal lives. She's been jerking off the tragedy of her teens for 20+ years now. Her shitty life experiences are not why we laugh at her. We laugh because she makes up these ridiculous fucking stories and spergs out when she's called on them. We laugh because she's been caught and she continues to deny it, like a child with chocolate on her face blaming her baby brother for eating it. We laugh because her desperate attempts to conjure up sympathy for herself are completely transparent.

I am personally absolutely disgusted by the entry (now hidden by Tumblr's hair-trigger CP filter) where she tried to link her troubled teenage years to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women article she posted. Kelly is white as a god damn sheet, and I'm sure that kept her safe when she was working. Kidnap a white teenager and there's going to be fanfare. "Oh, she was just troubled. She was such a lovely person." Kidnap a Native girl and maybe no one will notice. It's fucked up and the fact that Kelly briefly tried to tie herself in with that shows how absolutely ignorant and selfish she is.
Sorry yeah it's possible I misinterpreted the photo caption ( Me after a good night of hooking when me Gina went to the Ramada Hotel) as her suggesting they were both hooking. Not sure why you'd write any of that on a Polaroid anyway, but dropping strange hints/flexes so that people inquire further is something she does frequently.
I personally disagree with your assessment of what is probably true and what isn't, but I'm probably just bias towards everything she says being a lie or at the very least an exaggeration. It doesn't mean you're wrong, just that I'm skeptical.
Like her trying to insert herself in the "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women article" (I would LOVE to see that screencap if you have it, I don't remember it specifically) I wouldn't be shocked if she was making the sex worker claims just to make her life sound more exciting and any pictures otherwise could very easily have a completely innocent context that she replaced with another woe is me narrative.
That Polaroid could be her big earning after selling herself, or it could be her first paycheque from a normal teenage job, or with how washed out it is, it could be a really sick monopoly win.
I'm not saying it is or isn't any of those things, just that the only context we have is the word of a proven liar.
As for her journal, I take that as proof of nothing. I'm pretty sure she posted a page where the doctor's told her she had brain lesions too, so I take it all with a grain of salt.
Yeah, could someone give a tl;dr about this period of her life?
I always knew her as a munchie who just made the usual vague references of being abused but always thought she came from a stable middle class family.
I'm trying to catch up reading about her satanic/cult abuse, Paul, dog eating, child prostitution, etc. but everything is such a mess.
That's kinda the problem with giving a TL;DR, it's all a big, messy, constantly shifting narrative that's as coherent as it is believable.
She did a "storytime with Kelly" on her instagram where I think she laid out her latest version, but last I checked that was private or dead or something and so this is a bit cobbled together but I think it is like so:
Parents divorced and each took one twin
Went on birth control at 13 to control "blood levels"
She failed grade 7 (sometimes she says it was on purpose to be out of the same class as Gina, sometimes she says it was "subconscious" due to the anxiety of their sibling rivalry)
Dropped out in grade 10
Was a prostitute at 15 living in the YWCAm one of her johns was one of her teachers
At 17 was in Catholic school
Was expelled for distracting other students with her injuries (<- my eyes can't roll hard enough at this one)
Met pimp/cult member Paul and was tortured, ate a dog
Failed to get G.E.D
Was in psych ward for 2 years with PTSD from Paul/Cult
Was placed in the forensic unit under super high security to keep her safe from the cult
Started ballet at 19 (I guess while in the ward? This one doesn't line up well) and was better than anyone else who had even done since baby
Was in a group home for addiction/mental health for 3 years (not sure where this one is placed)
Diagnoised with D.I.D in group home
Got G.E.D
Worked at Macdonalds (fired)
Worked in a hotel (fired)
Did a little college, quit to be a full time victim
I can't remember everything she's claimed but a few choice examples are MS, lyme disease, an aborted lie where something was wrong with her mouth, bechets (the leg picking), mysterious anemia that intrigues all, strange blisters on her hands, pain pill addiction, her tooth just "fell out", brain lesions, in E.R for allergic recation (allergin never revealed), Dystonia, D.I.D/multiple personalities, she and gina have a secret language, can't pee, she was hacked, 'roid rage, was sent a bag of blood in the mail, pregnancy, claimed to need a lung transplant (and Gina wouldn't give her one!), fibroids (the fave of the month a while back amongst munchies and overweight lolcows looking for excuses and being part of a dog-eating cult.
Oh, and also she poisoned her cat.
No sorry, he got
mysterious sick too, just like her!
One fun thing to remember is that no narrative is permanent. This betchts disease thing started out as bruises and cigarette burns that "Paul" gave her during the cult storyline. It's always flowing and changing to fit whatever she wants you to think in that moment
And how does ballet tie into this? Those lessons aren't cheap and I assumed she got training as a child. I assumed mommy and daddy just didn't pay enough attention to their budding ballerina, but my guess I'm wrong now.(?)
Yeah I have no idea. She was claiming psych ward/cult/prostitute around that time so how that got paid for is currently a mystery to me at least.
She has very little communication with her parents. They are divorced, hence the different names between Kelly and Gina. Kelly goes by her mother’s last name, Gina goes by her father’s. I don’t know much about her family life, but I do recall that Kelly once showed a page of her journal where she said that her mother urinated on her as a child. Gina does not seem to interact much with their parents, either. Also worth mentioning, Kelly and Gina have a half-brother, as well.
I think at one point Kelly claimed to have even more siblings than that, but I won't lie, I can't remember it properly.
As I mentioned above, that journal seems to be as full of blatant lies as her blogs so I wouldn't treat it as gospel.
