During a March 14th stream, QTCinderella stated that she had attempted to assist JustaMinx with her addiction, but JustaMinx was unreceptive to seeking help. However, on March 18th, QTCinderella apologized and acknowledged that it was inappropriate to publicize JustaMinx's personal struggles. In a subsequent Twitch stream, JustaMinx acknowledged her borderline alcoholism and assured her fans that she is taking steps toward a healthier lifestyle. She stated that she needs to recognize when to stop drinking at social events and described her parents' concerns after the recent incident in Los Angeles.

JustaMinx also mentioned that she is taking precautions and undergoing medical examinations after suffering from an alcohol-induced seizure. Finally, the Twitch star encouraged people to stop making assumptions about her health and physical capabilities, stating that she will listen to the advice of her doctor rather than online opinions. Additionally, reports surfaced that QT suffered a loss of approximately $50,000 due to the controversy. In a gesture of accountability, JustaMinx has offered to reimburse QTCinderella for the cost of the canceled after-party.

The controversy surrounding JustaMinx has elicited strong reactions from the online streaming community. While some have criticized her behavior, others have come out in support of her. For instance, popular Twitch streamer Alinity has argued that JustaMinx needs assistance with her addiction, but the wave of hate and negative comments directed toward her is not helpful. This sentiment has been echoed by others in the community who believe that understanding, compassion, and support are needed to help those struggling with addiction.
