What many might not pick up on right away, however, is that Dupree was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome right before she turned 18. And starting on Jan. 13, she will star in a new TLC show called Baylen Out Loud.
The show will follow the unique struggles Dupree faces as a young woman with Tourette syndrome—a neurological disorder that causes involuntary vocal sounds (called tics) and movements that can range from mild to severe, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
"I started social media basically to take back my power and to tell my story from my mouth and my eyes and my perspective," she told Parade.
She explained, "Going on social media helped me with bullying and the people at my school and greatly with that but also for myself and for me to realize that—take a d–k b—h—that I didn't want to be that person again and I didn't want my condition that I have no control over dictate my life and dictate my happiness and dictate how I see myself."
