The TikTok saga that refuses to die just took another turn.
On the August 19 episode of The Domenick Nati Show, Kendra Hilty—the self-described ADHD coach and yoga instructor who went viral for detailing her crush on her psychiatrist—said she’s ready to countersue if legal action comes her way.
“If he wants to try to bring legal action towards me, then maybe I would bring it back to him,” Hilty told Nati, framing the story not as a courtroom drama but as one of empowerment.
That hasn’t stopped people from watching, and rewatching, her story unfold. Earlier this month, Hilty lit up TikTok with a multipart series titled “I was in love with my psychiatrist and he kept me anyway.” She claimed that for four years of mostly monthly sessions, she confessed her feelings directly to her doctor—and that he crossed ethical lines by continuing to see her.
“He was my doctor. So, he had 100% of the ethical responsibility to help me and he did not,” she said to Nati.
Hilty described emailing him between appointments, gushing to friends and family, and even telling front desk staff how “obsessed” she was. “Most of my friends thought I was joking, but I was not joking,” she further explained to Nati.
At first, Hilty admits she wanted the relationship to move beyond therapy. “When I first left him, I really wanted to be with him,” she told Nati. But over time, she decided the dynamic was inappropriate. “He didn’t ever really do anything wrong. He just let me do things wrong. And that’s where the harm lives,” she said.
The blurred boundaries weren’t the only element that drew attention. Hilty also brought AI into the mix, introducing chatbots like “Henry” and “Claude” as guides. Henry, at one point, told her “he loves you too”—a moment that set off fierce online debate about the dangers of using bots as therapists.
Her AI companions even started calling her “the Oracle,” leading to a fan community Hilty now dubs “the Gloricles”.
As the series gained millions of views, backlash followed. Mental health professionals criticized her for misunderstanding transference, while others accused her of bias or self-promotion. Hilty says the armchair diagnoses have been nonstop. “I have been checked since sharing my story, and you guys, I still just have ADHD,” she insisted to Nati.
