TikTok personality Andree Greig Baudoin, known online as “Andreethegirl,” shared her own death in a pre-recorded video posted after her passing. Baudoin died Saturday in a hospice in Lafayette, Louisiana, at the age of 39, following a four-year fight with stage four triple-negative breast cancer.
The video, filmed from her home, announced her transition. "Hi, my TikTok family, if you’re seeing this video, it just means that my time has come and I’ve crossed over," she stated in the clip, which was uploaded on Tuesday.
Baudoin had been documenting her cancer journey for the past four years. She explained in the video that she would spend her final days in hospice care, not wanting her home to be associated with death. "I don’t want to pass at home. I want this home to be a place of life. I don’t want them to think about death when they’re here," she said.
She described the cancer as having progressed to a point where treatment was no longer viable but expressed that she was not afraid of dying. "The truth is I’m not scared of where I’m going," Baudoin stated. "I am not scared of passing away."
However, she expressed deep sadness about leaving her family and her children at such a young age. "I’m really devastated to leave my family. I’m really devastated that I have to go so early, I’m 39," she said. "I’ll never be able to see my son get married, my daughter get married. I’ll never be able to meet my grandchildren. I’ll never be able to grow old with my husband, who I love dearly."
Baudoin concluded her message with a wish for her fans: "My biggest, biggest wish is that you don’t take your health and what’s in front of you for granted. Enjoy the day in front of you."
She had used her TikTok account as a platform to chronicle her health battle, finding it to be a "therapeutic" outlet. "I want you to all know that this place, this TikTok account, has become my diary. It has become my way to let things out," she said in what became her final video. Baudoin initially started the account so her children could follow her journey.
Throughout her illness, Baudoin pursued various treatments, including seeking care in Mexico, and exploring different diets and medications. "There’s not a thing I have not tried," she remarked. "I’m really proud of myself for that because I didn’t know how strong I was until this came upon me."
In June, Baudoin had been given only a few weeks to live by her oncologist, but she defied the prediction. She recalled a conversation with her doctor: "You say three weeks, but I say three months. And he said, ‘Let’s go. Let’s go. Three months, let’s go.'" She described the proximity of death as "weird" but considered each day she lived beyond the prognosis a miracle.
Her funeral is scheduled for Thursday, with attendees requested to wear colorful attire, according to an online obituary.
