Social Media Star
When Sheridan was cast on Chicken Girls, she only had around 500 followers on Instagram. She was also not associated with Tiktok at that time. However, she soon realized that she should increase followers on her social media.
“I had, like, 500 followers on Instagram, and TikTok wasn’t even a thing. A lot of the kids made it apparent they wouldn’t hang out with me because I didn’t have followers, and so what could knowing me do to help them? It was, like, a really lonely experience. And it was literally a wake-up call,” she recalls.

On Tiktok
Sheridan rates TikTok as a “misogynistic platform,” but acknowledges that it benefited her.
TikTok is the most misogynistic platform ever,” she says. “You post a video shaking your butt, and all the boys say, ‘She’s a slut,’ but there’s a trend now where boys shake their butts, and all the boys are like”—bro voice—“‘Ha ha, he’s so funny! King!’”
As of July 2021, she has 5.5 million followers on her Twitter account, 1.1 million followers on her Instagram account, and 46.1k subscribers on her YouTube channel.

Another fan added, “I’m so sorry you have to go through this. You have absolutely nothing to do with all this situation and it makes me really sad and mad some people don’t understand that. You are loved and appreciated, never forget that. Take care of yourself, ily so very much.”
