Venus has been uploading videos since she was 13 years old, her earliest videos being of cosplaying and hairstyles, as well as Japanese food and learning the Japanese language. Later, she moved on to making videos about Japanese fashion, vlogs about life in Japan and make-up tutorials. Some of her videos are about candy.
She is best known for being "a living doll", undergoing several surgeries to maintain the look of one, and making videos where she tries beauty products.
==Controversies==
===Racism===
On May 24, 2014, Venus uploaded the video How To Look Like A Korean Girl which became her most viewed video. The video garnered backlash for its racism and fetishizing of Koreans, with some drawing comparisions to yellowface as it was of a white woman using cosmetics to emulate the appearance of a Korean woman. Many other make-up artists in the YouTube community such as LADeathMachine called her out, and some former friends of her like みかんMikan cut ties with her over it. In July of the same year Venus also uploaded the video How to look like a half Japanese girl which received backlash for the same reasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Dufbu2e9U.
===Being exploited===
Years later Venus would upload a video explaining why she ran away from homehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkciY5UUL94. She explained that her mother, Margaret Palermo, was abusive and forced her to create the "living doll" persona for fame and moneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnzCiGLbRQ0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkmpcc3xLbs. Margaret also caused her to get an eating disorder, though she blamed it on Venus, as well as also saying it was her own fault she had Asperger's. When Venus refused or protested, Margaret would threaten suicide. 
Venus ran away to a different country after constant abuse, so Margaret deleted her YouTube channel. However the video exposing her had already been seen and archived, and Venus was able to recreate her channel. Margaret has claimed she has no daughter and continues to deny being abusive despite the evidence presented.
==Personal life==
Venus was born in Brugg, Switzerland, and emigrated to Japan after starting a romantic relationship with Manaki Okada. She went to South Korea to undergo a weight loss surgery. When her weight dropped to 38kg she required hospitalization. She later divorced Okada due to him being abusive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59wxhWDNCaw
