Paytas has been the subject of controversies and has been accused of deliberately making controversial videos and social media posts to attain fame. She also has been accused of targeting various specific groups, including alternative music fans, the emo community, and the LGBT community.

Paytas has identified with different religious beliefs throughout her life, mainly Roman Catholicism.

Paytas has suffered from mental health problems, having been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. In an interview on the H3 Podcast, Paytas stated she used to have substance abuse problems and was once hospitalized after a methamphetamine overdose. Paytas has stated that her main addiction was to prescription pills.

In October 2019, Paytas came out as a trans man online, but denied wanting to change her pronouns. She received criticism for this due to having previously self-identified as a chicken nugget, ostensibly in a facetious manner. In a March 2021 interview, she said that when she came out as transgender in 2019, she "didn't have the vocabulary to describe it at the time". In April 2021, Paytas released a video on her main YouTube channel, in which she discussed her previous gender confusion and reaffirmed her non-binary identity. She has since updated her pronouns to she/they.

Relatable. I have a lot of empathy for folks with BPD, having such amplified and unstable emotions has to be so exhausting.

I think I'm too burned out on toxic people in my life, my response is usually to be defensive / self-protective. Empathy can come later when I feel safe, lol
