Oriona Doherty
last updated: Jan '26
Oriona Doherty (more infamously known as Elphaba, after coining the characters name in an attempt to relate and adopt the characters life-story) has lived a life of over-sharing and being a problem online.​ Oriona's main platform of choice is TikTok, in which Oriona predominantly hosts LIVE streams, however is also found on the platforms Instagram, Cameo and Snapchat.
Oriona's LIVE streams often involve repetitive renditions of "Defying Gravity" which have been the subject of complaint from ​Oriona's viewership but also neighbours.
​
Oriona's behaviour online has been the subject of public concern due to the propensity to display triggering behaviours related to mental health, claiming to subscribe to certain protected minority communities and self-diagnosing themselves with conditions to excuse behaviour exhibited online.
​
Oriona has been seen alongside other online 'characters' such as Chelsea Lee Art, Evil Queen Chelsey and other smaller creators.

Online Controversy
Oriona has been a cause for controversy online and the portfolio of behaviour is extensive. In an attempt to keep this factual, we have tried to maintain a chronological order of events.
Contents
Before TikTok
Not too much of Oriona is known at this point however, Oriona has showcased some tidbits and other school-mates have shared some interactions.
-Oriona's Wicked Obsession started early in their teens. This is where the cycle of screaming 'Defying Gravity' began alongside stalking Wicked Theatre Actors and Actresses. A video of Oriona singing Defying Gravity was posted to Instagram in which an account affiliated with Wicked liked.
An ex-school peer revealed to us that in Oriona's formative years, Oriona was quite the homophobe, going so far as to throw bibles at LGBTQ+ Couples.
Group Chat Controversy
Oh that group chat, one that Oriona has tried to bury over and over again.
​
Around the age of 17, Oriona was part of an online community following a creator on the Platform Likee. Oriona was added to a group chat hosted by a content creator in which children and adults aged 10 - 18 years old participated in (big no no...).
Oriona, knowing of the ages of some of the people in this group chat, chose to share indecent imagery of sexual context and engage in conversations of a sexual nature.
​
Oriona maintains that Oriona presented the evidence of this group chat and it's contents to the law authorities, and that they informed Oriona that Oriona did nothing illegal due to being 17 years old at the time of the group chat and the messages taking place.
The Jack Situation
Oriona, around the age of 18, was living with an Autistic Trans-Male named Jack and his Mum, and the two teens hosted LIVE Theatre 'shows' on TikTok - of course, the theatre production being Wicked, because why would it be anything different? These quite frequently ended in argument when Jack didn't want to sing 'Defying Gravity' again for the umpteenth time and Oriona would have a tantrum about it.
​
Jack, being diagnosed autistic applied to take part in a small local production "Autism's Got Talent". Oriona being self-diagnosed autistic also applied and performed a few duets with Jack, however later claims that they were "worried about losing a friend", and that it was Jack that lied about Oriona's diagnosis on the application.
Oriona's lack of dignity and hygiene first came to light here when Jacks mum stumbled on a crusty sock belonging to Oriona.
Of course, after Oriona and Jacks friendship went up in flames, this began the cycle of Oriona not being able to remain in one place for any extended amount of time.
​
It is later when the Jack situation resurfaces that Oriona throws a baseless accusation of Sexual Assault on Jack.
Go Fund Me Controversy
What is a dishonest and exploitative persons worst tool? The ability to set up an online fundraiser for themselves. And so Oriona's "Help Me with My TRANSITION" Go Fund Me was born which by the time it was taken down raised £156, none inclusive of the total money they received in gifts during Oriona's TikTok LIVE Streams. The estimated total amount that Oriona received was upwards of £150k (none of which was declared to the Tax-Man).
This money, to any genuine person, would have been life changing. However, for Oriona, this instead funded what Oriona calls Oriona's 'Social Transition'; mainly branded sunglasses, purses, hotel rooms, take aways, alcohol, drugs, clubs.
Due to the false pretences as to what the money raised in the GFM was used for, Oriona was forced to refund a number of donations such as the donation given by Amber Chloe.
This would sadly not be the last GFM that Oriona organised to fund Oriona's lifestyle and would later create another 'Transition Fundraiser' set for £10.5k and another 'Moving Away Fundraiser' set at £2.5k. These were removed very quickly when Oriona's Go Fund Me history was brought up and multiple reports submitted to the fundraising host page.
​
Interestingly, when the subject of Oriona's own charitable contributions are brought up, easily discredited screenshots of emails are produced to prove donations to an Autism Charity.
​
Oriona's use of money has been the focus of backlash on a number of occasions, including more recently the purchase of approximately accumulative £300's worth of Perfume when in previous weeks they were claiming they were unable to afford electricity and food and still had the impending tax bill floating over head.
Falling Outs
This is probably the longest and most extensive period of time that has occured in Oriona's tenure on TikTok. During this time, we began to see an increase in content creators on TikTok begin to host "Watch Parties" on Elphaba, some screen recording and posting later with an increase in people using such to create reaction videos.
​
Some Creators gained traction in this time , however sadly, many of these self-dubbed Awareness Creators failed to work together and so a number of them are either no longer active in the awareness community or are no longer active on TikTok.​​
A long standing disagreement exists between Oriona and another creator; MamaKaz. The subject of the argument focused again on Orionas behaviour online and lack of 'transition'. Oriona employed a student lawyer to write a cease and desist letter that had about as much legal standing as a chocolate teapot.
#TeamExposed
This hashtag caused quite a stir and definitely set Oriona onto the war path of self-destruction. On a mission to "hit back at the haters", Oriona's behaviour took on new lows with a pattern of empty threats of legal repercussions, identity doxxing, suicide baiting with the usual rage-baiting behaviour. Oriona's particular focus was that on Mr Exposed (RIP), The UK Inspector, Jenny JJ Johnson and Banned Bird.
​
There was an interesting episode in a Primark in which Oriona claims to be harassed and stalked by a teenage girl (baring in mind, Oriona is approximately 6ft and rather gangly), who then asked Oriona for a picture. While posing for said picture, the teenage girl said "#TeamExposed". Oh did that make Oriona absolutely lose it... they even chased the lass out of the shop, shouting and screaming.
​
Jenny JJ Johnson​
Jenny is one such creator in which you could probably say is Oriona's arch-nemesis. To current knowledge, Jenny is the only awareness creator who had a personal police case against Oriona (if you disregard the claims of Shona). Jenny was also the recipient of a fake cease and desist letter from Oriona. Much later, we learn about how Oriona had requested mods to hunt down information on Jenny and her Kids.
​​
BannedBird
​​​Bannedbird is another special interest for Oriona. Again, Oriona went on a mission to uncover the person behind the Bannedbird account after being the subject of a TikTok Blackout (in which it was encouraged to completely ignore Oriona for a predetermined amount of time) organised by Bannedbird and a report that she had written regarding the general TikTok situation.
The UK Inspector
The UK Inspector was also the subject of Oriona's cloudy view on boundaries, and attempts at doxxing him was repititve. Out of maybe all the awareness creators, Inspector was probably the quietist out of them all. However Oriona was not a fan of Inspectors 'dancing fruit' watch parties.​
We would like to take this opportunity to recognise the mental health struggles that people are dealing with in silence.
It is with our condolences that we would like to take a moment to remember Mr Exposed
If you are affected by any of the events discussed on this site,
or if you are affected by the behaviour of Oriona,
please do not go quietly.

Evil Queen Chelsey
Evil Queen, a trans-woman with a large following and with a bit of a reputation herself, came head to head with Oriona when Oriona was temporarily staying with Chelsea Lee Art (known by her abbreviated name CLA). CLA, with an equally disturbing online footprint, at the time was fairly close friends with Evil Queen. CLA had been expressing frustration and overstimulation at Oriona's prolonged vacation, reporting instances of noise complaints, police attendance and even a "shit in the sink" accident.
On one particular evening, both CLA and Oriona were live with Evil Queen being in CLA's LIVE box. Oriona had been on the receiving end of harsh words from Evil Queen, and on this night Evil Queen was determined to liberate CLA by going after Oriona in any which way possible.
This was the begining of a long standing feud between Oriona and Evil Queen, one that continues to cause waves.
There was a brief period in which Evil Queen appeared to befriend Oriona; meeting up and going on nights out. This lasted a couple weeks until Evil Queen finally revealed her true intentions and opened up about her temporary 'friendship' with Oriona.
Evil Queen hosts TikTok FYP News LIVE Streams in which she covers trending events spanning the TikTok Platform which occasionally leads to streaming Oriona's LIVE.
​
A couple of smaller lesser known creators that Oriona had a short-lived friendship with included; Jay Templeman, Harvey Jardine, Darryl Ryder and most recently Aaron, all of which ended in very public falling outs.
Oriona's Fake Accusations
TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RAPE
If you are not comfortable with this theme, please skip through to the next section.
In amongst Oriona's portfolio of behaviours exhibited online, we also have the pandemic of false accusations that they made towards boyfriends, friends and even establishments. From accusations of sexual assault to rape, from theft to being spiked. The accusations were endless and was often times a way of deflection.
​
I'm pretty sure a non-disclosure agreement would be far easier.
​
A number of people were at the receiving end of Oriona's fake claims; Jack, George, unknown male from a club and another unknown male who had filmed Oriona dancing, claiming that they had 'filmed up my skirt', (FYI, Oriona slut dropped and revealed to the world that Oriona has most definitely not medically transitioned). ​
​
To this date, George is the only recipient of Oriona's misuse of the law who was remanded pending investigation (later aquitted of sexual assault).
​
Businesses were not immune to Oriona's chronic fibberitis. Oriona being paralytically drunk and throwing up a stomachs worth of alcohol was twisted into spiking allegations. For the public record, such accusations can destroy a business and risk it's closure. ​
​
However, Oriona is not void of accusations either.
​
September 2024, a young lad named Harley who had a neutral friendship with Oriona in private messages, came out to tiktok, alledging that Oriona had made advances towards Harley that made them uncomfortable. Harley did share message's between himself and Oriona, which hinted at a sexual nature, and revealed that they had a civil case against Oriona.
Self Diagnosis or Fake Claim?
Before we touch on this subject, we would like to recognise that self-diagnosis to a point is valid, however it is important to follow it up with a diagnostically qualified professional to be officially diagnosed.
Disclaimer; We are not diagnosing or undiagnosing any conditions. We are simply reporting a series of facts and events.
​
Autistic Spectrum Disorder
This has become an obsession for Oriona. From the early days with Jack, Oriona has been obsessed with Autism and being autistic, despite never being formally diagnosed with the disorder. Oriona claims that as a minor, Oriona were under CAMHS and "was being assessed for Autism", however even at 21 (almost 22) years old, as it stands, autism is not listed on any medical record.
​
Balanitis is though.
(There's a handy NHS UK link for you if you're curious as to what that is...)
​
Oriona flip flops between saying "I have autism" and "I'm being assessed for autism", and plays up to the camera delibrately, it seems, to prove? an autism diagnosis.
​
​The main issue here with this 'self-diagnosis' is that Oriona wants to be labelled it so desperately to excuse the chaotic and harmful behaviour; because according to Oriona, Autism is the scapegoat for shitty behaviour.
​
More recently, they have expanded to include ADHD.
Tourettes Syndrome
In early 2023, Oriona had landed in hot water with the tourette's community by faking twitching and squeaking ticks and claiming that a GP told Oriona that it may be tourettes.​ Similar to the Autism situation, Oriona set themself on an obsessive path of trying to prove a diagnosis by mimicking tourettes symptoms on live (twitching and squeaking).
​
Despite being called out in comments and by other creators, this all came to a head when Jodie Lynn, a popular tourettes activist on behalf of her teenage daughter who suffers from the condition, appeared in Oriona's box to question the legitamacy behind Oriona's "diagnosis".
​
Oriona reverts to the usual set of responses and excuses; "my mum can vouch for me", "I can show you a text from my doctor", "I can show you my referral". However none of which proved a tourettes diagnosis or even discussion. After Jodie left the box, Oriona played the victim and tried to make out that Jodie had been unjustified in her reaction to Oriona's claims.
​
Jodie (and Nicole) of course had nothing but support.
​
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
If you have ever watched Oriona, you would know immediately about the skin issues. Oriona's skin often is covered in angry breakouts, scarred skin with mottled and uneven complexion. The cause of these skin issues differs depending on who you listen to.
The majority of viewers put Oriona's skin problems down to lack of hygiene standards (this is supported by other evidences such as dental and hair hygiene). Oriona has long been in denial about the lack of personal cleanliness and upkeep.
It is important to stress that Acne Conditions is commonly not caused by poor hygiene, and is often an immune response affected by hormones.
Oriona's medical records (which has been revealed by Oriona via an instagram story post), revealed that a GP has put down the issues to Acne Vulgaris.
​
If you were to ask Oriona as to the cause of the condition, you may hear "Hidradenitis Suppurativa" and this has been maintained over the last couple of years, although speaking to HS sufferers themselves reveal a large hole in Oriona's claim to suffering from it.
​
One of the first contradictions - the use of harsh products on the skin. Oriona isn't known to do a lot of research into the ingredients that are in the products they use on the skin. This results in a lot of Oriona's "self care products" being a HS sufferers worst nightmare, which many of the products being irritants or known exacerbants of the condition.
​
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Another long standing fake claim that Oriona brings up on a frequent basis, is that of having Irritable Bowel Syndrome, although much like Hydrodenitis Suppurativa, does not seem to subscribe to a lifestyle in which would alleviate IBS symptoms. From eating greasy takeaways to cream cakes, every IBS sufferers nemesis, Oriona is definitely not 'famed' for dietary choices.
​
Malnutrition
Shockingly, Oriona decided for themself that, despite the very lacking in anything beneficial to the body is contained in Oriona's diet, Oriona was malnourished and required some dietary ​supplements.
​
Oriona managed to obtain some Aymes, which are specially formulated for patients with dietary or nutrionational issues. These usually can only be supplied on prescription. however they are purchasable on sites such as Amazon and Ebay. Oriona, naturally getting backlash from this, decided to double down and start playing the victim about how Oriona is "always questioned about what's wrong with them online".
​
Cancer
​Perhaps the award for one of the worst fake claims to date goes to when Oriona claimed that they had a cancer scare due to a routine test in school flagging up for disease.​
​
For clarity... there is no "routine blood test" for cancer. Cancer itself, is not looked for until there are symptoms to be investigated.
The Knife Incidents
TRIGGER WARNING:
SUICIDE, SELF HARM AND DEATH THREATS
For this section, there will be no video's shown on this page. We advise for readers to not search for the various videos that may exist as these can be highly triggering. We do not condone the actions of both Oriona and the persons behind the comments in the LIVE.​
​​
The subject of Suicide and Self-Harm is one that so strongly integrated into Oriona's cycle, that viewers of Oriona are somewhat able to predict when such baiting occurs. Over the years, it has been a stream of Instagram Story posts talking about not wanting to exist and it getting too hard etc, coupled with the occasional alleged hospital visit. On LIVE, the baiting continued with using near harmless implements to cause hurt, and then showing the red marks left. However, on two notable occasions, Oriona took it to the next level.
​
In May 2024, Oriona, living in Manchester in shared accomodation, was live streaming and as per the norm, the comments were spamming and saying things to both call Oriona out but also to cause a meltdown. This led to Oriona goading a viewer to request the box to say what viewers were writing in comments.
​
A young woman requested, and answering Oriona's question of "How should I do it then?", said "A Rope". This led to Oriona picking up a nearby large kitchen knife and holding it across the neck shouting "is this what you want?!" At this time, there was an approximate 10.1k viewer count and Oriona's LIVE was not age restricted to 18+.
​
This event met massive backlash for the following reasons:
​
a) Oriona was in the bedroom which did not have a kitchen and Oriona did not go to the kitchen at any point during the LIVE Stream. Meaning the knife was already in the bedroom and placed conveniently near where Oriona was doing the LIVE.
​
b) Oriona was aware enough of what Oriona was doing to hold the blunt edge of the knife to the neck, avoiding seriously hurting themself. This led to accusations of suicide baiting, rage baiting and shock value content.
​
c) After the incident, Oriona was absent from social media for approximately a week. When Oriona returned, Oriona had claimed to have been taken to Hospital, given diazepam to calm and gotten Private Counselling.
​
d) In the apology, Oriona would continue to be the victim, claiming transphobia and bullying.
Unfortunately this wasn't to be the only Knife incident that Oriona would instigate.
​
November 2025, Oriona again was having a meltdown on live. However this time round, Oriona is far more aware in regards to community guidelines and that TikTok will issue restrictions and bans far more quickly. And so, Oriona repetitively restarted the LIVE when a violation occured that could potentially result in a ban. After one such restart, Oriona returned to only show the wrist and began swiping the wrist with a butter knife. This was to a much smaller viewing of around 2-3k.
​
This second event has now been dubbed "The Butter Knife Incident".
Oriona & Maria
Oriona is probably just as infamous as Maria, Oriona's mother. In most cases where Oriona is caught out on lies or harmful behaviours, in the following apology, Oriona will claim "mum can vouch for me" and "my mum can tell you", as if that is supposed to prove what Oriona is saying as factual.
​
However, Oriona has been often heard accusing Maria of abuse and that being the reason why she is unable to be lived with. This being especially ironic given that Oriona actively chose to terrorise a neighbour believed to be a mother of three children that had fled domestic violence.
​
Oriona has continued to use the narrative of Maria being abusive to apply to housing in London, and obtain housing under refuge from Domestic Abuse.
The Cat
After a couple of weeks of talking about wanting a Cat, finally a cat (named Diva after a few rounds of "what's its name?") appeared on the scene and immediately concerns in regards to the cats welfare arose. This was largely impart to previous examples of Oriona's ability to look after animals (Jack spoke previously on Oriona once having a cat that was rehomed due to inability to care for them).
​
To begin with, Oriona was completely petrified of the feline, flinching when stroking her and not being about to handle her. Oriona was clearly very unprepared, despite previously stating that Oriona had been watching a cat person on instagram and had learned so much from them. Suddenly, Oriona knew nothing.
​
Oriona had to be taught in the LIVE comments on basic care for the cat, including how often to clean and change the litterbox (which, to everyone's shock, Oriona revealed that the urine inside the litter box could be the cats or even Oriona's).
​
After finding a suspicious substance on Oriona's foot, the cat had a rather traumatic event in which Oriona repetitively failed at getting the cat into a cat carrier and attempted to get the cat seen by a vet. This failed and the mystery of "who is the vet?" began between the awareness creators.
​
More recently, the cat was due to be spayed on the 9th January. This also failed even though both Maria and Oriona allegedly attempted to get the cat in the cat carrier. The appointment has been allegedly rescheduled.
​
The biggest concern is Oriona's fascination with talking about the cat having kittens, but also Oriona talking about taking the cat out to walk around the streets.
Oriona's Response
Oriona's response to the backlash surrounding Oriona's behaviour online has been mixed with Suicide Baiting, Self-Harm Baiting, threatening legal action and claiming transphobia. Oriona, despite the majority of people who call Oriona out having no such prejudice, is seemingly convinced that the reason that people don't like them, is because people are being transphobic.
​
In the past, Oriona has chosen to deliberately do things to 'annoy the cam2ers' such as making a strange guttural, unattractive sound and mocking accents by being stereotypical.
​
Early 2025, Oriona had gone live and again, in response to cam2ers, chose to play a high pitched sound. The LIVE comment section was quick to inform Oriona about the sound triggering epileptic seizures, which Oriona ignored for 10 minutes.
​
This led to the later disproven accusation of Oriona causing a young teen in australia to have a seizure and pass away. This however was debunked quite quickly.
To this date (20th January 2026), Oriona has fallen out with CLA, Maria is currently living in the flat and the cat is yet to be spayed.
