Okay, I will give a run down a go - please correct me if I get any information wrong - I don’t have any insider information. My qualifications are having met Kristina a number of times in her capacity as a photographer (but we are going to seperate the person from the art here)… and also having lived in Brisbane and associated with friends of friends (previous alt girl) so have been following her over 10 years.

Kristina Ballerina / Childs / Wild has always been on the internets, gained popularity in the MySpace days, standard alt / emo girl - dabbled as a suicide girl.

Ex Husband is Steven Childs, a musician who sang in a band called repeat offender and famously was engaged to one of the Veronica’s before marrying Kristina.

Juliette is Kristina’s eldest daughter which she had as a teenager that Steven may or may not have adopted? Regardless he raised her from a young age and she went viral as a child for “my first hardcore song”

Iggy is Kristina & Stevens daughter. Shes 11 and an innocent, born in the back seat of the car at the hospital.

Bell/Belinda is Stevens new wife, a MUA. Kristina photographed her first wedding and Steven sang her down the aisle which is “it’s a small world weird.”

As it’s been mentioned Steven wrote a self deprecating blog that documented their family life, he was a stay at home dad looking after both girls and would play music at weddings. Kristina travelled often overseas to shoot weddings and his blog posts often made jokes at his expense of his wife not wanting to touch him with a 6ft poll etc, it was later revealed that these jokes were his way of dealing with his crumbling marriage. Kristina left him, moved out of their house and got herself a funky apartment appearing to leave him to scramble to get re-employed to be able to pay rent.

Kristina re-branded herself to Kristina wild. Went about her life, travelling often so I feel that during this time Steven probably continued to be the primary caregiver for both girls. Fast forward past an awkward engagement to his rebound. He & Bel get together, she is extremely supportive of his situation and is actively involved with helping him raise the girls.

This ruffles feathers of Kristina & her supporters and people go after Belinda saying she’s over stepping. Belinda addresses this on the internets (not Kristina from what I remember but just that she’s being bullied about this online).

There have been a few petty swipes over the years but the most recent events that I am aware of is Kristina liking and commenting LOL on her own memory on Facebook of a photo of Belinda and her Husbands first wedding.
Belinda then posts something to her Instagram about how to co-parent with a narc.

Kristina has a melt down a few days later (coincidentally 24hrs after she was brought up on here for the first time). Saying how she’s kept her mouth shut but it’s so hard co-parenting with someone who is determined to vilify her. She now knows that a child can choose where they live at 16 because someone who rhymes with Smell texted her it out of the blue. She waffles on rather unconvincingly, trying to sound emotional saying she will probably delete it but never does.

Juliette then updates her public story today saying she’s cut communication with Kristina, that she’s sick of her playing the victim pretty much and posts a picture of a message she sent detailing her experiences and emotional damage caused. And that after cutting her off Kristina cancels her number off the family plan and demands bond money back because she “needs” it. Despite boasting about being in the top 1% of OF and posting/over sharing about her 30K BBL (in between pictures of Iggys face)

the end.

Someone please spill insider tea now

I’ve seen her post on and off over the years. After reading her daughters stories about her being a narcissist it all makes sense now. I feel for the children of so many narcissists who have used the internet to feed their own ego for so many years.

What did Kristina’s stories say? I follow her but missed them.

Does anyone have screenshots?
I don't have the screenshots of K's stories unfortunately but essentially she was just getting home from a photography job early morning.. she seemed a little bit drunk but definitely not inebriated.

So she basically started to talk about how difficult her life has been for the last few years as she has been forced to have someone in her life who is horrible/toxic etc...

She didn't say who it was initially but then went on to say the name rhymed with "Smell". Yes very mature.

Then she just laid into her. Basically said that Bel had made her life an absolutely misery and made every situation with the kids so difficult and said that Steven wouldn't listen to Kristina's rational arguments about stuff she wasn't happy with involving Bel. He had his wife's back - crazy! She said Bel involved the kids in all the drama and that she would never do that (obviously okay to get her 10 year old to put her drunk arse to bed though).

I think that was the main gist of it.... she was definitely playing the victim angle big time. She hadn't done anything wrong and was the mature one in the whole scenario. Classic narc behaviour.

I always felt like she used her children as props or for comfort. I unfollowed her when Juliet moved away, but before she did she kept posting Juliet and her boyfriend all the time it gave me the ick. I’m unsurprised by Juliet’s posts and I hope she’s getting support. I think we will continue to see children of “influencers” or people with a following come out with the same story, it must be horrid having your life plastered online for all to see.
also props to her for cutting her out, cutting out a parent is one of the hardest things.

Been a while so apologies if any of this is wrong but...

Kristina came from regional northern NSW, had Juliet when she was 17... become pretty well known on MySpace - Xtina Ballerina. Somehow she met (now ex husband) Steven Childs when Juliet was quite young - maybe 4? 5? There was a viral video of Juliet called My First Hardcore Song.

Steve raised Juliet as his own.

Kristina and Steve also had daughter Iggy... Instagram went WILD for Iggy. They got married. Traveled overseas a few times. Kristina started photographing weddings and her business quickly expanded. Steve was a musician (local Brisbane band called Repeat Offender) and worked in a sign shop by day, but then ended up leaving to pursue music full time. He did lots of weddings etc. All seemed like a happy little family, along with dog Robert. Steve had a blog called The Uneducated Opinion. Very funny.

In 2016, Kristina announced on IG that she and Steven had split up. People took sides. Steven then started dating a chick named Kylie... he kinda disappeared off the internet I think. Steve kept pretty private after this... started working on making custom handmade jewlery and eventually broke up with Kylie and started dating his now wife, Bel.

Kristina was dating a guy named Wil for a few years.

Steve and Bel have a daughter and are expecting a son in the next few weeks.

I know Juliet moved to Melbourne a year or 2 ago - definitely before she turned 18.

That's the general background. People who have followed more closely in the past handful of years can fill in any blanks.

The sex work promo photo featuring her new $30 000 BBL is so jarring right next to a little 11 year old. Even if that child goes out at night more than most adults I know lol

The dramatics, at what point do these people sit back and question what they’re posting.., aren’t they embarrassed. If I posted something like this I would never claw my way out of the shame spiral.

Getting that butt done instead of buying a house or apartment was the ultimate selfish move. Now karma has come and look at the situation she is in.

What the actual fuck!? She is always crying on Instagram. Is this not her 'work' page also!?
it is the work page. the sex work, the photography work, and bonus footage of her children. and probably other peoples children are in there amongst it.

I've followed Kristina for years, since Flickr, and as I've seen her career grow this is the one aspect of her 'openness' I've never quite been able to wrap my head around, both with regards to her over-sharing and how people lap it up then book her (some regularly). I'm sure a lot of them are lovely and normal; things are always different in real life to online anyway, but some must surely have some weird parasocial shit going on.

apparently she can get quite loud and "involved" at wedding shoots. but i guess theres quite a market for "quirky chaotic i will edit your precious photos in a rush at 2 A.M while i bitch about it on instagram" photographers.

I think it was really stupid of her to have such a personal rant on what is essentially her business page. She should have separated her work / life / only fans pages a long time ago.

Bel has been posting stuff about children being posted to social media being used by paedophiles. I imagine her and Steven are not happy with Iggy being shown so often.
Although she was quite happy to showcase Iggy and Birdie a couple of years ago. I guess she realised the damage it can do.

I think Bel is ok. Ive had a couple of chats with her over the years about being stepmums etc. Iggy and Jules are lucky to have her. She is a rock for them. My kids have a slightly unhinged biomum who does the least so I can relate in part to Bels position. Being a stepmum is a really hard job let alone being one in the public eye.

It wasn't until Bel had her first baby that she realised how scary the internet is for children and locked them down. I don't blame her. I actually respect her for this.

Wow I wondered if Kristina would ever get a thread, and here it is..

I used to love Steven’s blog, he was a genuinely talented and funny writer until it all got a bit bitter when his marriage to Kristina was ending. He kinda strikes me as someone who is co-dependent, he moved on from Kristina pretty quick with that chick who was a tattoo artist and got engaged after a year, then when that ended he moved on quickly to Bel who seems to be totally unhinged!!!. IMO Bel is probably just acting the martyr right now to position herself above Kristina, she seems to be no less of a narcissist and really came across as a drama queen. It’s a shame that both women are incredibly talented in their creative fields yet seem like complete tools personality wise, especially when it comes to respecting their children/step-children's privacy.

I’m so glad people are finally starting on see the light when it comes to KW.
I had a narcissistic ‘mother’ growing up and for years KW has shown all the signs. Honestly shocked that so many people love her.
You know what a good mother would do?? Put 30k towards a house deposit not a fucking BBL.
Like sure, people can cosmetically change their looks but wait till your daughters have finished developing - it’s going to give them such a warped view of their natural beauty.

also, Bel probably did come on strong because she saw a major gap where the girls didn’t have a proper mother figure. I would’ve come in hot too.

idk, at the end of the day being a mum means your children are your first priority and that just clearly isn’t the case with KW.

Probably all strategic … get her followers worried etc, garner sympathy
I feel like such an idiot, I actually felt sympathy for Kristina when she posted those stories on the weekend 🤦🏼‍♀️
i actually did too a little but was so conflicted as I generally can’t stand her 🤣 I’m so glad Juliet posted and it wasn’t left at K being the poor victim.

Wow. I really want to know what happened. Like yes we can speculate and Juliet has said her mum is a narcissist but there must be so much to this story 😳 Poor Juliet if it's bad enough that she will likely never talk to her mum ever again. That's insane!
And I have a feeling in a few years, Iggy will follow suit.

Imagine prioritising your bum over your kids, housing and financial stability.... She is all about appearance, always has been.

I hope for her sake her OF is still doing really well!! Although if she is still looking at renting over buying then maybe it isn't!!
