Bianca cries for help on Penuel The Black Pen's podcast, The Penuel Show

ZAlebs reported that Bianca Coster was a guest on The Penuel Show hosted by Penuel The Black Pen.

She opened up about how being catfished by Chris Excel damaged her reputation.

“Over the past few years, I’ve been ridiculed, insulted and just downright tormented because of the Chris Excel account on Twitter. The damage he has caused to me and my family has been humiliating and emotionally draining. Constantly having to validate my innocence and disassociation with the account."

Bianca then wrote that she has had enough of the bullying and wants to tell her story, her way.

"Before there was Chris Excel there was me. A person in the flesh with dreams, goals and a full life to live. It’s my turn to tell my story and in that hopefully bring awareness towards cyberbullying.”
