===Another object show (2016 - 2017)===
Another object show (abbreviated as AOS) was a competition show that started as a fanmade continuation of IDFB (the third season of BFDI) but eventually spun into AOS. It initially only had one complete season with 23 episodes. However, a second season called AAOS was announced, but has not came out.
===TUFC (2017-2018)===
TUFC was a camp Jess competed in during 2017 and 2018. It was cancelled after 9 episodes (as we see it in object cringe 18 non canon version).
==Personal life==
Jess was born in the United States. She came out as a transgender female in 2021. However, in 2022, she transitioned back to male due to grooming allegations made against her, as she did not want to feed stereotypes about transgender people grooming children. However, she stated that she has re-transitioned in her latest apology Google Document.
==Controversy==
===Grooming allegations===
On December 18, 2021, a small object show YouTuber named Devproductions came out with evidence alleging Jess to have groomed them.
Jess later posted on her YouTube channel's community tab stating she had published a Google Doc addressing the allegations, which quickly received criticism from readers for being confusing, resulting in her deleting it and publishing a new one.https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxMZvK2hviGgtCBzAClwc68zqL5BIM9kp3https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y7JX0qN02EWHc-pW0HLvTkJ2mDmBKUh2WPVmiPJ6Sgs/edit In the document, Jess claims thay she was unaware of Devproduction's age at the time they were dating, and had ended her relationship with them as soon as she found out about their age. Her documents and apologies resulted in her receiving backlash from her fans, who said they had lost trust in her at that point. She began to lose subscribers on her channel, and went inactive on social media.
====Aftermath====
Jess has made very few to no online appearances after Devproductions exposed her, and has since gone completely inactive on all social media platforms.
On August 16, 2022, Jess uploaded an album, titled Grieving, Loudly, to a different channel. One of the album's songs, "Tomato's song", was accidentally publicly uploaded, to which she later stated that the video was not meant to be publicly viewed and privated it shortly after.Tomato's song (good grief soundtrack) - YouTube
In October 2022, Jess later uploaded the remainder of the unfinished fourth episode of Object Cringe Again to her main channel.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-LK7eGYZftGwFzxDkN1t3PHKbjskluWyGAOzn0rKtWw/edit?usp=sharing This was considered by viewers as the channel's final send-off, as the description reads: "i'm not gonna upload another video bye". However, in May 2023, after being inactive for several months, Jess returned and began uploading several shorts to her channel. She later explained that she is "in need of money" and replied to a comment asking about her deletion of her apology documents, clarifying that she was going to write a better document. After not uploading a full video for 10 months Silky uploaded a compilation of all 4 Episodes of Object Cringe Again which she left a comment on that video attaching a new apology document
On August 25, 2023, Jess released a final apology on Google Documents. On the document, she apologized for things that she has done wrong, such as bullying fans, making fun of mental health struggles, outing someone to their parents, stretching the truth to ruin people's reputations, saying racist statements, and most importantly, the incident between her and Devproductions. In the same document, she stated that she has re-transitioned and uses she/they pronouns.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-LK7eGYZftGwFzxDkN1t3PHKbjskluWyGAOzn0rKtWw/edit
