Summary
“Daddy Issues” started as an anonymous meme page on instagram that quickly rose to fame and fandom (5.4 Million Followers!) with a combination of witty captions, comedy and internet culture. But, the person behind it would remain anonymous for quite some time. Today, front-and-centre is founder Violet Benson, who is now also host of one of the top women’s podcasts “Almost Adulting”. We spend the afternoon in her LA home, and deep dive into the person behind the memes. Just who is Violet Benson? The story may surprise you.
