Known for documenting family life with husband Kevin and their six children, 8 Passengers once neared 1 billion views.
However, concerns arose in 2020 regarding Franke’s disciplinary methods, including disturbing actions like withholding food and threats.
Viewers reported perceived child abuse, leading to a decline in channel popularity. In 2022, amid the tumult, the Frankes separated, and Ruby Franke deleted the channel, transitioning to a role as a mental health coach at ConneXions.
The shadow cast over her once-charmed online presence underscores the complexities of navigating public scrutiny and personal choices.
