Juice WRLD’s Girlfriend Breaks Her Silence: Exclusive Footage and New Revelations Shake the Official Narrative

Nearly five years after the tragic passing of rapper Juice WRLD, new footage and testimony from his former girlfriend, Ali Lotti, are turning heads and reawakening questions about what really happened in the final hours of his life. In a move that shocked fans and critics alike, Ali released never-before-seen footage from the night of his death—footage she says will challenge the version of events that authorities and media have widely accepted.

Many believed Juice WRLD, born Jarad Anthony Higgins, died of an accidental overdose on December 8, 2019, at just 21 years old. The official cause, confirmed by the Cook County Medical Examiner, pointed to oxycodone and codeine toxicity. However, according to Ali, that’s not the whole story—and the narrative pushed in the immediate aftermath may have missed crucial context or overlooked deeper layers of the truth.

Ali Lotti, whose real name is Alicia El León, rose to prominence not only as Juice WRLD’s partner but as an influencer with a massive social media following. Their relationship began in 2018, when the pair met at a music festival. The connection was instant. From the outside, their bond appeared unbreakable, with Juice often referring to Ali as his “ride or die.”

Behind closed doors, though, Ali suggests there was far more happening than anyone realized. According to her, Juice WRLD was surrounded by pressures far beyond just the weight of stardom—pressures from within the industry, from people in his circle, and from those allegedly trying to control his image, finances, and voice.

The new footage Ali shared on social media—taken just hours before Juice WRLD’s fatal seizure—shows a very different energy than what most fans imagined. Instead of a chaotic, drug-fueled night, the video reveals a quieter, more reflective atmosphere. Juice appears calm, even introspective, far from the state one might expect from someone on the verge of a drug-related emergency.

But the video was just the start. Ali also opened up about blackmail attempts she says she experienced following Juice’s death. According to her, individuals threatened to leak a private video of her and Juice WRLD, attempting to extort her in the midst of grief. Rather than cave to the pressure, Ali took control of the situation by launching an OnlyFans account—using it not only to share content on her own terms, but to speak candidly about her experience and the events leading up to Juice’s death.

Her decision was met with both support and backlash. Some saw her actions as empowering, a reclaiming of narrative and autonomy. Others, however, accused her of exploiting her late boyfriend’s legacy. The debate around her motivations has sparked heated discussions online, especially about whether it’s ethical to share intimate content involving someone who has passed without their consent.

In response to these criticisms, Ali shared a heartfelt message on social media, revealing that her decision was less about fame or money and more about survival. She described being cornered by people who wanted to silence her, people who “didn’t want the truth to come out.”

The controversy also reintroduced doubts about the original story told in the days following Juice WRLD’s passing. According to initial reports, Juice consumed several pills to hide them from police officers who were waiting at the airport with a search warrant. The drugs, combined with stress and exhaustion, allegedly triggered a seizure.

But this version has long been disputed by Ali. In multiple posts, she denied that Juice swallowed pills to evade arrest and claimed that the events leading up to his collapse were far more complex. Director Tommy Oliver, who made the HBO documentary Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss, echoed this sentiment, stating that the overdose was linked to long-standing addiction issues rather than a last-minute decision during a police raid.

What’s undeniable is that Juice’s private jet was indeed searched by federal agents at Chicago’s Midway Airport. Authorities seized 41 bags of marijuana, several bottles of prescription-strength codeine syrup, and multiple firearms, including high-capacity magazines and armor-piercing bullets. Two members of Juice’s security team were later charged with misdemeanor weapons violations.

In the aftermath, fans and investigators alike wondered: was Juice WRLD facing serious legal consequences had he survived that night? Some speculated that he could’ve been looking at a mandatory federal sentence. Others, including Ali, believe the panic and intensity of the situation created a mental and emotional overload that might have triggered his collapse.

Ali also raised concerns about the way Juice’s team was treated after his seizure. She claims the handcuffing of his crew delayed vital medical attention. Though paramedics eventually administered Narcan, a drug meant to counter opioid overdoses, Juice was pronounced dead at the hospital just over an hour after he first collapsed.

As debate rages on about whether faster action could’ve saved him, the new footage and emails shared by Ali offer a deeply personal look into Juice’s state of mind. One email subject line reportedly read: “Things I can’t say out loud,” while another ominously said, “If something happens, you’ll know what it means.”

These details add further weight to Ali’s belief that Juice WRLD felt watched, manipulated, and overwhelmed in the months leading up to his death. While many attributed his struggles solely to drug dependency, Ali has consistently suggested a broader, more systemic pressure surrounding the artist—pressures that may have contributed just as much, if not more, to his tragic end.

Ali’s release of this footage, and her decision to speak out, challenges us to rethink how we understand public figures and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Her testimony has reopened questions about the role of industry enablers, the cost of silence, and the rights of partners left behind.

As she put it: “You think he died from an overdose? You’re wrong.”

Whether or not everyone agrees with her methods, one thing is clear: Ali Lotti refuses to be silenced. And in doing so, she’s brought the final days of Juice WRLD’s life back into the spotlight—not as a myth or a scandal, but as a raw, unfinished story still waiting to be understood.
