Fans are worried that Joyce is on drugs, or experiencing a mental breakdown, many even going to far as to suggest that she is being held hostage.

Marina Joyce herself has addressed the controversy, most recently tweeting this, shortly before her Bethnal Green invite:

She also did a live stream addressing the rumors, and fans captured moments throughout in which she seems distressed:

However, it’s probably distressing to be at the center of an Internet conspiracy, whether or not there is an actual conspiracy happening.
