On January 30, 2023, Blaire became aware of the unauthorized, pornographic use of her likeness on a deepfake website. The existence of the non-consensual sexual material was discovered after streamer and former collaborator Brandon Ewing, professionally known as Atrioc, inadvertently revealed the website in a browser tab while streaming. In addition to Blaire, the website infringed on the likeness of various other individuals, including streamers Maya Higa and Pokimane.

In May 2024, Blaire broke the Speedrun.com record for baking 12 chocolate chip cookies with a time of three minutes and 46 seconds. Her approved run caused the site to temporarily archive the IRL Cookie Baking category in order to reevaluate its rules and make them more comprehensive. Following the rule update, Blaire submitted a new run of four minutes and 39 seconds which was accepted by the site as the new record.
In November 2024, she was ranked 19th by Complex Networks in its list of "The 25 Best Streamers Right Now".
