Boogie2988 bio and age
July 24, 1974 is Steven Jason’s birthday. “ Jay” Williams was born to his coal mining father and schoolteacher mother in Saint Paul, Virginia, USA. He has 2 siblings; A brother named Bryan and a sister named Karla, with whom he spent part of his growing years before they were separated.
Bryan, his older brother, gave him the boost he needed to have an online presence with his YouTube channels. This was after teaching him how to write code and design websites. This piqued Boogie2988’s interest in the virtual world and the many possibilities that exist. Steven first established his online presence back in 2006 as an escape and a satirical way of laughing at the troubles he went through as a child. He shows this in his videos with the fictional character Francis – an adult child with anger and developmental issues.
His channel’s content grew from comedy sketches, news updates, drama, talking about trending topics and even games. However, over the course of its success, some people have found its content or storylines offensive and offensive. However, Boogie2988 has consistently emphasized that he is merely depicting his past hellish life, which he hopes others can learn from. His channel has already reached over 4.5 million subscribers with millions of video views. In contrast, his games channel has over 344,000 subscribers.
Aside from being featured in videos on his channel, Boogie2988 has appeared twice on the H3h3 Productions podcast where he discussed his weight plans and procedures.
His capital
There are various estimates online of what Boogie’s net worth might be. Some reports put the net worth at $1.2 million while other reports put the net worth at $900,000. Anyhow, it’s likely that Boogie2988’s net worth will be somewhere in between the two amounts.
Family: mother, brother and sister
Jay revealed that he had a traumatic upbringing. According to him, his mother consistently abused him and his siblings mentally, verbally, physically and mentally. Unfortunately her father was always working and so Steven, Bryan and Karla were at the mercy of their mother. The abuses accumulated over the years into a post-traumatic stress disorder that left Boogie depressed and anxious, even leading him to attempt suicide twice. Steven once said he had to jump out of a moving vehicle to avoid being blinded by intentional injuries his mother inflicted on him.
His siblings weren’t spared from the agony either because they were in as much agony as Boogie. Karla, his sister, had to be placed in a foster home by the family to protect her from her mother’s onslaught. Bryan also left the house when it got harder to leave poor Jay behind.
Some of the abuses include, but are not limited to, stabbing and cigarette stabbing, nagging words among others. There’s really no telling what could cause a mother to inflict so much pain on her children that they leave permanent scars.
The V blogger eventually lost his hardworking father to cancer and his mother followed shortly thereafter.
Wife and Divorce by Boogie2988
Boogie2988 was once a married man. He was married to Desiree aka Dez Williams, whom he dated for 5 years before proposing to her via a YouTube video in 2012. Their marital relationship was consummated sometime in 2013.
Dez Williams, as she was popularly known, helped her then-husband in the scriptwriting and production of most of his vlogs. They were a good team before she divorced him in December 2017, 4 months after he underwent gastric bypass surgery. Boogie Francis said he never wanted to divorce because he was adamant that Desiree was the love of his life, but his wife Dez was more for it. The divorce was finalized two months later in February 2018. The duo have maintained their friendship without losing the love between them.
Its weight gain and weight loss
Boogie2988’s weight gain became depression, frustration, and blockages in the lymphatic system known as lymphedema, resulting in swelling of one or two arms or legs. As a result of his depression, he comforted himself with food. He once claimed that a former girlfriend took advantage of his situation by feeding him more so that he put on more and more weight until he became morbidly obese.
His body mass scale readings at the time were 266 kg. He had severe joint pain and was unable to do any exercises. As his health continued to deteriorate, on August 2, 2017, Boogie2988 decided to undergo medical surgery – bariatric surgery, commonly referred to as gastric bypass surgery, which helped remove most of the fat in his stomach. After the rigorous procedure, he lost approximately 91 kg. His new weight was given as 175 kg. His target weight is 113 kg or less.
Williams uploaded a video after 6 months telling his fans and viewers he feels amazing, lighter, better and even healthier than ever. He definitely looks prettier than ever. We’re excited to see how he continues the process until he’s completely lost the weight he wants to lose.
Boogie’s height of 1.78m (5ft 10in) is also looking good as his weight has improved.
