Personal Life
In a 2022 interview with "Dexerto," Vinnie spoke about finding online fame as a teenager, stating, "It's definitely like growing up too soon, maturing too soon. A lot of people my age are going to college, going to college parties and stuff like that. I feel like, you know, since I have to portray myself to all these millions of people that either look up to me or just watch me in any way, that I have to be mature and be a role model at a young age." He added, "It seems as if, nowadays, you can't make any mistakes. You have to be super careful about, even if you're wording something wrong, just stuff like that. It's definitely worth it because you realize a lot of stuff when you're younger, so you're able to capitalize off of that." Hacker enjoys skateboarding, and he began posting skateboarding videos on YouTube in 2020. On a 2022 episode of the podcast "Tap In with Harry Jowsey," Vinnie revealed that he had been sexually assaulted as a teenager, stating that at age 16, he lost his virginity to a 26-year-old woman. At the time, Hacker's friends made him believe that sleeping with an older woman was cool, but Vinnie later came to realize that since he was a minor, what the woman did was actually sexual assault.
