      The “cash me ousside, how bow dah” meme started with her saying it on Dr. Phil’s show in 2016. She was like 13 at the time. His audience loooves seeing him treat his guests, often children, like shit. That meme popped off with a wider audience, though, catapulting her career rapping as Bhad Bhabie. That would all be well and good if she hadn’t suffered trauma due to the former psychologist. He’s denied any accountability for his involvement in sending children to “the ranch;” part of a larger problematic industry of children being literally kidnapped in the middle of the night from their homes and forced into conditions including sleep deprivation, hard physical labor, verbal abuse, and in some cases death. I can’t remember if Bhabie was exposed to someone dying or if it was someone else from the show.
