Early life

Stanley was ill as a child and at age 5 was diagnosed with malnutrition which led to an eye condition where she lost her sight in her left eye; she grew up in a single mother household.[2] She grew up in Camden, hated school and was expelled from Camden High School for setting fire to the lockers.[2] Stanely's motivation to entertain comes from her hard childhood and being bullied; at the age of 7 Krissy had her first birthday party and it was the first time in her life she laughed, after that moment she thought to herself,“...I want to feel like this for the rest of my life, I want to laugh”.[2][38][27]

Stanley started her career as a car saleswoman before featuring on reality TV in the 80's and 90s.[12]

Stanley lives in Oyster Bay with her husband John Stanley whom she married on 7 Dec 1985 and has a son Christopher Stanley who is YouTuber Cosplay Chris.[14][13][39][40][41][42][43][44]
