TikTok star Banter Queen's journey from social media stardom to jail cell

A minor TikTok celebrity is now behind bars after her transphobic tirades landed her in court this week.

Elsa Frost was jailed for four and a half months on Thursday after admitting criminal damage and sending abusive messages.

She had sent former reality star Chelsey Harwood the abusive messages over a number of months last year.

A feud between the women also escalated to the extent that Frost threw paint at the home of the former Desperate Scousewives star last year.

The mum had gained a following in recent years due to her behaviour on social media.

Frost proved particularly popular on TikTok, posting videos of her life in Birkenhead.

Labelling herself “Banter Queen”, her videos later included expletive-ridden rants focused on specific people with whom she had disagreements.

Her original account has been deleted, as have a number of other accounts, due to her breaching the platform’s rules.

Outside of her social media activity, she has also had brushes with the law, narrowly avoiding prison in 2019 after being convicted of battery.

Yet she was the victim of crime herself when a thug threw a beer keg at her while high on cocaine two years ago.

Luke Browne, then 29, walked free from court after attacking her at Mr White’s sports bar in Birkenhead in February 2020.

Shocking CCTV footage showed the yob grab her by the hair and drag her to the floor.

He then lifted a metal keg and threw it at her.

Frost told a court she was labelled a grass after Browne was prosecuted and that her windows were smashed as a result, though there was no evidence of this.

Continuing to post on social media, she eventually started feuding with Chelsey Harwood, who also has a large following on TikTok.

It is unclear what started the feud between the two, with many of the videos shared by both women no longer online.

However, Frost’s behaviour continued to escalate, eventually leading to her being reported to the police for using transphobic language towards Ms Harwood and throwing paint at her home.

Magistrates in Sefton handed her an eight week prison term on Thursday and also activated her ten week suspended sentence for the battery charge.

She will serve nine weeks of the sentence before being released.
