CHRISSY Chambers has hit headlines after winning a landmark revenge porn payout against an ex.
But who is the American YouTube star, and what do we know about her? Here's what you need to know...
Who is Chrissy Chambers?
Born in Mississippi in October 1990, Chrissy is a YouTuber who vlogs with her fiancee Bria Michelle Kam.
In the past, she's acted in TV adverts, films and on the small screen.
What is her YouTube channel called?
The couple's channel is called , where the couple perform their own songs, comedy skits and promote awareness for LGBT rights.
Bria, who's from Atlanta, Georgia, appeared on American Idol season 11 - which was aired from January 2012 - before meeting Chrissy.
In the past, their videos have raised awareness of a wide variety of issues - from same-sex marriage to anti-bullying.
They have racked up more than 250 million views and 800,000 subscribers. They also have a second channel, called OurLesbianLove.
Bria and Chrissy, who live together in LA, posted their first clip in 2012, a political satire music video - featuring the pair dressed as Mitt and Ann Romney.
They also starred in Demi Lovato's 2014 music video Really Don't Care, and G0 Magazine labelled them 'YouTube's most viewed lesbian couple' that same year.
The couple got engaged on January 17, 2018 - as Chrissy celebrated a landmark court victory on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
What happened in Chrissy Chambers' revenge porn case?
Chrissy won substantial damages against an un-named ex-boyfriend after he put films of them having sex online.
She had brought a claim for breach of confidence, misuse of private information and harassment at London's High Court against a private individual, a resident in the UK who, for legal reasons, cannot be identified other than as DCR.
Taking to Instagram following her win she posted a picture of her and Bria kissing.
She captioned it: "I could not be more elated to announce today that I won my revenge porn case and also asked the most incredible girl to marry me.
"That’s right -WE WON AND BRIA AND I ARE ENGAGED!!!!!"
Chrissy and DCR were in a relationship between 2008 and 2009, the court heard.
And DCR recorded the couple engaging in sexual activity, without Chrissy's knowledge or consent, in September 2009.
He then uploaded six videos to a porn site in December 2011 and January 2012, naming her in three of the film's titles.
Chrissy wasn't alerted about the films until June 2013, when she immediately contacted the website to have them removed.
She has since been diagnosed with PTSD, and says the ordeal led to substance abuse and relationship difficulties.
Lawyer Alex Marzec said DCR accepted liability for his unlawful activity and regretted the serious distress and suffering caused.
He has handed over copyright for the films to Chrissy, and has agreed to pay substantial undisclosed damages - as well as her legal costs.
