Liv was the one who suggested the $300 shoot. They needed money, and Liv wasn't really doing anything on the channel anymore. She was streaming once in a blue moon, so she was the one who suggested that. Nobody forced her
Personally, I expected Liv to leave the channel after the big Brother stream. It was around that time she broke up with her husband and started screwing that loser she found on Twitter. She fell in love with him. She was posting vague tweets about how beautiful North Carolina is. {He lives there.} He was constantly distracting her every time Liv streamed. He was showing up in chat and only having conversations with him, then he immediately posted on his Twitter stupid shit like 'you will obey me'. And there's a lot more that happened from 2021 till the day they announced that Liv is leaving GP. But personally, I wasn't surprised one bit the day she said she's leaving the channel. I was like, 'Yeah, what else is new?' She didn't know what she wanted to do with her life, and she still has no clue, whether she's going to move from Oregon to move in with him in North Carolina
Sky doesn't like checking in because she knows that everyone is going to be like, 'Oh, when are you coming back to GP?' and Sky didn't like this pressure. She made that clear on her last stream. Also, i do know she keeps in touch with Alicia, they are real good friends. shes also close with all the mods and with some members from GP
