The Secret Life of Lele Pons Episode Rating Graph

It’s no secret Lele Pons is one of the most successful social media icons with over 40 million followers and considered an internet trailblazer for her contributions to various platforms. Known for her unfiltered videos, candid humor and crazy stunts, Lele’s storytelling arch takes a more serious tone as she opens up to the world with her deepest secret. Through access to private moments, emotional interviews and never seen before footage, Lele reveals her life long struggle with OCD among other mental health conditions and doesn’t shy away from the most intimate details of her battle.

Repeating something over and over again in your mind may make it true but it doesn't make it easy. At a young age, Lele learns of her father being gay and parents divorcing all while trying to deal with her mental health conditions and juggle aspirations for a professional career in music.

They say it takes a village and lucky for Lele, she has a strong support team who helps her through each day allowing her to flourish in her career yet always put working on herself first. With the recent onset of motor and vocal tics, Lele acknowledges that what she experienced as a 11 year old is now back and she is challenged both personally and professionally living with Tourette Syndrome.

Battling internet bullying and dealing with thousands of negative comments daily, Lele feels the weight of the world on her shoulders while she deals with a hectic schedule, music demands and faces heartbreak in her homeland of Venezuela. Overcoming criticism and backlash, Lele prioritizes her humanitarian efforts over hate while taking center stage in a global crisis.

After years of self reflection and therapy, Lele takes full responsibility and owns up to a big mistake that cost her a friendship and almost her career. Opening up about the pain from that situation and the lessons learned, Lele continues to work through her mental health treatments and commitment to getting better each day. During this humbling process, Lele finds hope in a new friendship with Comedian/TV Host, Howie Mandel, who not only shares similar mental health struggles but is an inspiration and example of how coping with these conditions is not only possible but shows you can be highly successful in doing so.

Living with OCD was challenging before. But now, with a global health crisis underway, Lele needs to work harder than ever to stay afloat and productive.
