==Personal Life==
Damien was born on July 27, 1998. When they were young, their mother brought them a computer and webcam. They joined DeviantArt in 2009, and joined YouTube a year later.
In more recent times, Damien has come out as transgender (non-binary) and no longer goes by the name "Jessi Slaughter". They use their experiences to help other people and to help them grow as a person.
==Apology, death of Gene, and return to YouTube==
In December 2010, Damien made another YouTube account called JessiickaBubbles. Only one video was uploaded on the account before it became inactive.
On August 11, 2011, YouTuber HiroKasumi uploaded a video titled "Jessi Slaughter Apologies" where Damien apologizes to the band Blood on the Dance Floor, in an attempt to get their fanbase to stop hating them. They claimed to be in foster care after going through several mental institutions. The video was recorded by one of Damien's friends, as they were denied access to computers at the time. On the same day, Gene died of a heart attack.
On January 23, 2012, Damien created a new YouTube account under the name ShinigamiKilla. On March 7, Damien created the "Gorgonize The Masses" Tumblr blog, featuring several posts answering questions from fans. On April 8, the @DamienAkuma Twitter account was created. The account included a description hinting that Jessica would be changing their name to "Damien."
On April 27, 2012, a video titled "Lovely – MorningStar [A work in progress]" was uploaded to the channel, which included a song written by Damien accompanied by several photographs.
On May 28, 2012, a thread was created on GuruGossip Forums, which linked to the Shinigamikilla channel and claimed that Damien came out as a transgender. On June 3, Leonhardt uploaded a video announcing they would be answering questions from viewers but warned not to ask questions about Gene.
On June 5, 2012, the Internet culture news blog The Daily Dot published an article titled "Controversial Cyberbully Victim Jessica Leonhardt returns to YouTube, remarking that Leonhardt appeared to be surprisingly happy in many of the new videos. They decided to quit YouTube once again later on, although the videos were archived on numerous other channels.
Nowadays, Damien doesn't post YouTube videos, but is still active on Twitter, Instagram, and their Tumblr blog. On their Tumblr blog, they revealed that the allegations of rape were not a lie and that they were raped by Dahvie. Around the same time, Dahvie was reported to have had sex with over 21 underage girls between 2006 and 2015.
Damien did an interview with Chris Hansen on the 25th March 2020, and a month later created another YouTube channel after nearly 8 years of inactivity.
==Quotes==
* "I'll pop a glock in your mouth and make a brain slushie."
* "I'm weird, I know that. But you guys are just jealous because I have a perfect boyfriend. I do, and you guys are just jealous because I have three. So yeah... jealousy much?"
* "You're just jealous because I'm perfect and you're not."
* "Nobody can look this good with no makeup on. None whatsoever."
* "Hey YouTube, Jessi Slaughter here."
* "I want to use my experiences to help other people, and also to help myself grow as a person and to get more involved with things that can help other people."
* "Nowadays, people are a lot more understanding that, yes, there's a person behind that photo, there's a person behind that video. It’s not just a funny picture that has no meaning when you share things. It has a meaning to the person who put it there. We're connected; it's not just a cold screen. But even now, I feel like people still sort of don't understand completely that what they do has an impact. Even if you're not meaning it to be harassing or harmful, it still has an impact."
*"You Done Goofed. I don't really have anything to say he just, you disappointed me man. I loved you and you let me down. I trusted you and you let me down.
