Jessalyn Grace

For seven years, Jessalyn Grace was the back-to-school queen of kid YouTube: hauls, lookbooks, and vlogs for an audience that peaked above 1.4 million subscribers (IMDb). Born May 25, 2007, in Los Angeles, she started at six — winning a singing competition with "Let It Go" — and by 2020 was also a member of the tween pop group Run The World (SCMP).

Then came the reckoning. At 18 she left home and, in early 2026, posted "my experience as a 'child youtuber'" on a new channel, jessaithink, accusing her mother Kelly Anne of years of pressure, control, and exploitation: "This isn't me accusing you of abuse, this is me telling the truth about the abuse" (UNILAD Tech). The video made her an involuntary spokesperson for the child-influencer labor debate.[edit]

Born May 25, 2007, in Los Angeles, California. Competitive cheerleader as a child. Won a singing competition at six performing "Let It Go" (2013); became a Toys "R" Us President of Play finalist (2016) (ABC30). Began YouTube vlogging around 2013-2014 under her mother's management.[edit]

2013-2019: the child-creator years. Back-to-school content, hauls, and vlogs build the Jessalyn Grace channel past 1 million subscribers; Justice campaign and Girls with Heart ambassadorship in 2018.

2020: joins Run The World, releasing music videos including "RainBow" and "Diamond Hearts" (IMDb); original channel peaks above 1.4 million subscribers.

2025: turns 18 and leaves home.

2026: launches jessaithink (100,000-plus subscribers) and posts the "child youtuber" testimony video in March, covered by UNILAD Tech and Inquirer POP (UNILAD Tech). Claims about college enrollment could not be verified and are dropped.[edit]

From hauls to testimony: Grace's image is now defined by the March 2026 video and its fallout, positioning her alongside a wave of former child influencers demanding labor protections. Sympathy coverage dominates; the family dispute itself remains allegation-stage.[edit]

iFANN-only numbers, read from live data: YouTube: 108,000 subscribers, 3,741,924 views (fetched 2026-10-15; new jessaithink channel). No Last.fm figures are on file. Popularity rank: #40,970 overall, #30,736 by type (ranked 2026-10-19). She holds no placement in the iFANN Global Fame Engine Top 1,000 or any Top-100 scope list. Her audience has inverted: former kid fans, now older, following her as a critic of the industry that raised her.[edit]

Her surname "Phanouvong" appears in older database entries without a reliable source and is not repeated here. Her listed height (5 ft 7 in) is likewise unsourced and removed.[edit]

Daughter of Kelly Anne, her former manager, whom she publicly accused of abuse and exploitation in March 2026; the claims are allegations, and no court finding is reported (UNILAD Tech). No sibling detail is published. Relationship status is undisclosed.[edit]

No credible net worth figure has been published; an older $500,000 estimate was unsourced and is dropped — particularly sensitive given her claim that family members lived off her earnings.[edit]
