While recording a private New Year\u2019s Eve livestream, Sergio Jim\u00e9nez died at age 37. Spanish outlets El Pa\u00eds and El Peri\u00f3dico reported that he was allegedly completing challenges, including consuming alcohol and cocaine in exchange for money. Days later, content creator Athira Auni [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Buttermore was a social media personality with over 570,000 Instagram followers and 1 million YouTube subscribers, sharing fitness and nutritional uploads. She had taken a step back from social media in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019ve been pretty MIA on social media all year, but I\u2019ve taken some pretty valuable things away from it,\u201d Buttermore wrote via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C7Mixa4Lmkw\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> in May 2024. \u201cMy mental health has been the best it\u2019s ever been, but I\u2019ll give you some specifics. I no longer struggle with anxiety. At all. It was almost crippling a few years ago to the point I felt I couldn\u2019t breathe or leave my house. Now, I really don\u2019t have to care whether people liked what I posted or if they are saying negative things about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/pictures\/kim-kardashian-more-celebrities-who-took-social-media-breaks\/\">taking a hiatus from Instagram<\/a>, Buttermore learned to be \u201cway more present\u201d in her daily life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhen you don\u2019t even think about opening Instagram out of habit, it\u2019s like finally opening your eyes to what\u2019s going on around you,\u201d she added at the time. \u201cWhen I\u2019m with my family or Jeff, I\u2019m much more immersed in the moment. I take photos for the sake of saving memories and not because I\u2019m going to post it on my Story. I never get caught not listening to someone because I\u2019m checking comments, and I\u2019m in a better mood because I\u2019m not anxious. Family time is family time.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the same time, Buttermore missed interacting with her community of loyal followers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI miss my social media friends and community,\u201d she noted. \u201cSo not only did I not post, I also didn\u2019t consume any content on IG. I opened the app maybe once a month and tbh I genuinely missed seeing what my friends were up to. I miss the positive interactions I used to have in my DMs and in my comments. Of course social media can be toxic, but it can also be an amazing place to connect, learn, get motivated and make friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Buttermore is survived by her family and Nippard, who <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/pictures\/celebrity-engagements-of-2022-stars-who-got-engaged-this-year\/\">proposed in 2022<\/a> after six years of dating.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.usmagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fitness influencer Stephanie Buttermore has died.
