Her family is extremely close-knit; her mother frequently speaks on Chloe's behalf, and her parents are highly protective, managing almost every aspect of her academic and social life to avoid family disagreements. Chloe also spends several hours a day on social media platforms, following high-profile fitness influencers who post images of extremely lean bodies and receive praise from thousands of followers.
