If there was ever a time to familiarise yourself with Alyx Weiss, now would be it.
The YouTuber with almost 2 million subscribers has spent 14 years making weekly videos. She's best known for her video series 'Revealing Your Secrets' where she share's the wildest confessions from her followers.
But for the last two months, the 27-year-old all but disappeared from the internet. Her Instagram profile, YouTube channel and TikTok page sat dormant until this month when Weiss resurfaced to reveal exactly where she had been.
Watch Alex Weiss reveal her big secret. Post continues after video.
Weiss has reemerged, refreshed and telling fans she joined a "cult" in South America, where she "worked with plants", particularly Ayahuasca — a hallucinogen.
"[I] kinda fell off the face of the earth," she said in her latest video. "There was a rumour that began to circulate that I joined a cult. And I did," she said.
"It's interesting because a big part of the definition of a cult is a group of people with admiration or [an] affinity towards something or someone," she explained. "and the people that we met at this centre, have an affinity, a love for ayahuasca for other the other plants that we worked with... and for the master we worked with."
Weiss told her subscribers she went through purges and ceremonies and did the "hard work" to reach spiritual enlightenment.
