Skye was born as Lauren Kaye Scott on April 17, 1994, in
Tampa or
Clearwater, Florida.
Sexually abused as a child, she was first raised by her
alcoholic mother and aspired to be a
marine biologist. In her early teens, she moved in with her father's family in
southern Ohio. Skye met Zachary Lecompte-Goble at a party in 2015, and after terminating a 2016 pregnancy, the two were married that year in Las Vegas, but soon separated before 2017. In 2019, Skye's mother died of "addiction and alcoholism". Sources close to Skye reported troubles in the final period of her private life. The
Toronto Sun reported that in 2020, two of her grandparents died of
COVID-19, she found herself homeless, and her pet dog died. In spring 2021 it was revealed that Skye was working as an
escort. That May she was criticized for a photo she posted to
Instagram showing her posing topless in front of a
George Floyd mural.
Substance abuse According to Lecompte-Goble, it was when Skye lost an industry award in 2015 that her
substance abuse dramatically increased. Her
Xanax use increased to 10–15 pills at a time, and she began smoking
methamphetamine. From 2017–2019, Skye entered
drug rehabilitation at least six times, but only stayed for a few days each time. In her final days, Skye was still struggling with years-long addictions to alcohol and
fentanyl. As recounted by family, friends, and coworkers, Skye's behavior became erratic by the mid-2010s. Fellow actress Kianna Bradley and director
Jacky St. James both described an impulsive and gregarious woman who "was never too proud to be silly." Yet she would also "become paranoid and violent, accusing people of sexually abusing or harming her or claiming that shadowy forces were pursuing her and trying to end her life." Her husband recalled times she threatened him with a knife, or when she flew to
Paris "to make a
sex tape with a stranger". Skye would claim to be watched by hidden cameras, a target for assassination because of an affiliation with the
Kennedy family, and a victim of rape by
Ron Jeremy.
Criminal charges In mid-2017, after striking her boyfriend, in
Pinellas Park, Florida, Skye was arrested and jailed by police on a charge of
domestic battery (a
misdemeanor). Those charges were later dropped. She pleaded guilty to
driving under the influence in
Burbank, California, in 2019, and in 2020 she was jailed in
Van Nuys for misdemeanor charges. ==Career==
