Etie also worked at a Michigan animal charity called Hardcore Cares. The organization released a statement - which has since been removed due to threats made against Etie - exposing her alleged lies.

The statement said that the charity organized a benefit show and backed a GoFundMe campaign set up to raise cash. Hardcore Cares said they discovered her lies earlier this month.

In an updated statement, Hardcore Cares says: "We do not condone violence. Hali Etie needs to held accountable for her actions. We also understand that many people were affected by her actions. The comments got way off track and as a result of that we decided to pull the post.
