A Look Back at Laina Morris, the Overly Attached Girlfriend
American YouTuber Laina Morris gained fame at the age of 20 when she created the fictional character known as the “Overly Attached Girlfriend.” This character, known for her clingy and stalkerish ways, became a viral sensation with her parody of Justin Bieber‘s “Boyfriend” back in 2012.
Laina’s parody, titled “JB Fanvideo,” was initially created for a contest held by Justin Bieber himself. Her fixed smile and intense stare quickly caught on, and the video garnered over 21 million views, solidifying her place as a popular internet meme.
The lyrics of the parody song included lines like, “If I was your girlfriend, I’d drive you up the wall… question who you’re with, yeah I’d always call and call!” These lyrics perfectly captured the essence of the overbearing and possessive nature of the character she portrayed.
Years have passed since the viral success of the “Overly Attached Girlfriend” meme, and many wonder what Laina Morris looks like now. Despite the passage of time, her impact on internet culture remains undeniable, and fans continue to appreciate the humor and creativity she brought to her videos.
