Influencer Irene Gu reportedly sent her boyfriend a message about domestic violence before she was found dead. Gu, 23, shared an image of a protective order she applied for on her Threads account on Monday, July 28. "Yes, there is also domestic violence," Gu wrote in Chinese in a message translated by Us Weekly. "If you beat me, I will go to the police station." In a follow-up message, Gu explained why she didn't want to block her then-boyfriend on social media.
