She decided to try to host a live broadcast via TikTok for the first time, and it was not what she expected. Jessi was shocked to see GIFs or emojis appearing. So, she asked about it only to discover viewers were paying to send them to her.
They cost money?!
— Jessi
After finding out that viewers were paying money to send her the “gifts,” she decided it was time to go. Jessi panicked, trying to end the live broadcast with no luck. So, she begged fans to stop paying money for the GIFs.
Okay, I gotta go! Bye! No, don’t pay! Don’t do that! How to get off? Don’t send me money! How do I get the f*ck off? Oh my God. Hey, don’t send me that sh*t. Don’t send me that.
— Jessi
Finally, Jessi agreed to stay a little longer just as long as viewers didn’t pay more money to send gifts. She encouraged them not to “waste” money.
I’ll literally stay for like 30 seconds. But please do not send me gifts. Don’t do it. Don’t waste your money on that.
— Jessi
Jessi made it clear that it would probably be her last TikTok Live. She definitely prefers Instagram.
I don’t like this site. I don’t like TikTok.
— Jessi
As soon as another GIF appeared on screen, Jessi told fans she had to go. So, she ended the live broadcast.
I don’t need your money. I don’t need these emojis. Please stop.
— Jessi

Jessi was not playing around! She did not want her fans to spend their hard-earned money like that. She would not be the first celebrity that this has happened to either.
