  I don’t typically watch YT vids that people who I don’t know recommend cause I don’t want YT to start suggesting low quality crap. Can anyone fill me in on what happened here?

    Yes, and I've seen this brought up a bunch recently. I think somebody has some weird personal grudge against her, and has been editing Wikipedia pages and submitting fake "tips" to gossip outlets to report on it. Most of the actual reports of Elles being underage have been deleted, likely because they weren't true. I haven't found any piece of material from a reputable source reporting this, either. I've looked into this before, and I've found no actual proof that she uploaded anything illegal, or that her award was ever rescinded.

    NSFW LINKS: The most "proof" I could find is that comparing the oldest available Archive.org backup of the page to the current page shows that some of the header images have been removed, but her name and award title were never mentioned in the text of either version of the article.
