YouTube
Gawin has several YouTube channels, main one being Ela Gawin. She livestreams frequently and posts vlogs featuring her daily life; in the years past her minor daughter was frequently featured[5].Her content if often described as disturbing, since Gawin consumes alcohol during livestreams, goes into offensive tirades against police, judges, Polish justice system in general, the current political situation in Poland[6] and apparent "communist occupation of Poland".
