Internet Personality

The Resume

    (circa 1960- )
    Resides in Warwick, Rhode Island
    Native of Le Roy, New York
    Became a viral sensation (August 2018) after her karaoke performance of Missy Elliott's 2002 hit 'Work It' received over seven million views on Facebook in a matter of days
    Video shot at a barbeque in a park located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island ('Missy's White Sister is in the Paaaaaaark!!!!')
    Recreational coordinator at a nursing home

Why she might be annoying:

    She was a 58-year old white woman rapping song from a black artist.
    The song she covered had explicit lyrics that referred to oral sex and 'pussy.'
    The camera caught a friend walking around behind her holding a cup of 'Oodles of Noodles,' a detail not lost on Ms. Elliott!
    She plays the harmonica.
    She held and swung a Shofar (an instrument made from a ram's horn) in her ditty but never blew into it.
    Fans campaigned to have her appear on 'Ellen.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She declared herself as Missy Elliott's 'Funky White Sister.'
    She did not need a monitor as she fully memorized the lyrics!
    She also can perform 'My Humps' by Black Eyed Peas!
    She disappointed Zach Braff (who tweeted his displeasure) by never blowing into the Shofar. (Ironically, Halsey was wearing scrubs in the video.)
    Missy herself loved the video and performance then shared it on her social media accounts.
    Missy on Halsey: 'I just found out I have a FUNKY WHITE SISTER.. forreal doe...& she brought her home girl with her from da hood that keep tip toeing in the background with a plate of food...yo I’m done!...but she straight killed 'Work It' sound effects & all...I love it'
