Laina Morris, better known as the Overly Attached Girlfriend meme, has sold an Overly Attached Girlfriend NFT for 200 ETH, or $411,000. The buyer was 3F music, who has also purchased the Bad Luck Brian NFT.
Morris, who has had a complicated relationship with the meme over the years, live-tweeted through the auction, growing increasingly emotional as the price skyrocketed. When the NFT was at 10 ETH ($21,000), she tweeted, "You're going to make me emotional about a creepy face I made 9 years ago?" Little did she know that the price would go 20 times higher by the end of the auction.
As we head into the last hour, I just gotta say… UM WHAT.
You’re really gonna make me emotional over a creepy face I made 9 years ago?! This is insane.
Thank you for the support! OAG has made my life so weird and I love it.https://t.co/zJQ5keWmlh pic.twitter.com/beiiQ3wNjm— Laina (@laina622) April 3, 2021

Morris is the latest former meme to make serious money off her likeness, but is one of the few who've hit six-digit numbers at auction. Scumbag Steve recently sold his meme for 27 ETH ($57,000), while Bad Luck Brian sold for 17 ETH ($36,000).
