For a particular corner of the internet, the world ended this summer. Several internet-famous WLW couples — an abbreviation for “women-loving women” — had made online announcements that they had split up, leading their followers to speculate about a so-called breakup curse.
Followers of the drama called it the “lesbian breakup apocalypse,” and NBC News reported on it in August. For Kaelee Overfield, this mess was an opportunity.
Ms. Overfield, 25, has carved out a significant following for her videos breaking down the gay gossip and drama du jour over the last two years.
She has more than 480,000 followers on TikTok, where she posts under the handle @Kales_0. Think of her as TMZ but exclusively for queer internet news.
