Lexi Weinbaum Says Her Friends Tried to Kill Her in 2015
Lexi Weinbaum went viral on TikTok in March 2023 after making a series of videos saying that her best friends tried to kill her.
According to Lexi, in December 2015, she and a bunch of girls whom she saw as her best friends decided to go for a party together.
While they were at the party, the girls gave Lexi a drink. She thought it was just a normal drink but it was not. Something was put into it.
About 2 to 3 minutes after taking the drink, Lexi found it difficult to take in air through her nostrils or walk. She also began having seizures. At this point, she asked her friends to help her but they did not. Rather, one of them even tried choking her; telling her that everybody hates her and that if she were to die, no one would miss her.
Lexi struggled to free herself and tried to leave the party place. One of her so-called friends pushed her down the stairs and told her to come back as they were only having fun. Lexi didn’t even listen to her. She made it to the streets and started asking people to help her call 911. One of her so-called pals still followed he to the streets, asking people to ignore her as she was schizophrenic. Luckily for Lexi, someone now called 911 and she was taken to hospital. Her family members were then called.

The Attack Caused Her To Develop OCD and An Eating Disorder
Lexi really did many videos on TikTok. Some of the videos talked about the attack itself. In others, she spoke about the effect it had on her. She had panic attacks, flashbacks, PTSD, and OCD. She also developed an eating disorder.
For instance, due to the fact that her so-called friends put something in her drink, Lexi began wondering if every food she was being given to eat had something harmful inside it. This made her not to eat food at home many times.

Lexi Weinbaum is also a Victim of Sextortion
Lexi Weinbaum also revealed that even before the attack by her friends, she had been the victim of an online crime. Sometime in 2015, a mysterious individual contacted her online and forwarded her some of her nude pictures. The person threatened and even went ahead to send the pictures to some people who knew Lexi.
The whole thing made the young lady think about taking her life but she did not do so. She rather told her mom and together they went to the police. However, the police couldn’t really trace the person behind the crime and arrest him or her.
The abuse tainted what Lexi loved doing, such as running. Her abuser loved the fact that she was so fit and that she didn’t look like a child.

Lexi’s Attackers Were Never Tried Nor Punished
It must be stressed that no one was ever charged or convicted in relation to the attack that Lexi Weinbaum suffered. Of course, the police conducted an investigation after she left the hospital.
There was a toxicology report which showed that her drink must have been laced with spice (a synthetic cannabis product) mixed with other substances, but her attackers were never charged. She has cut off ties with them, of course, and is moving ahead with her life. It can also be said that her TikTok revelations are a form of therapy for her.
