Looks like her website has been hijacked or something. Lots of links to pages about drugs, seemingly AI generated.

Might be your connection due to the site serving http only. I’ve verified the site from several networks and none exhibit what you mention.

Seems to happen on my computer and phone, wifi and lte. Click her photo on the main page and it goes to a page about CBD gummies. Click the more link at the bottom of the home page and it's some drug. The bottom of the art analysis page has links to valium, adderall, and tramadol.

Upon deeper review, it definitely appears there is something strange with some of the content on the site, so while I'm concerned there might be an integrity issue, the site has been archived so that original sources from the subject's website can be cited or referenced on their Wikipedia page via Wayback (and to prevent link rot if and when the domain or hosting expires). Thanks for calling this out. My apologies for not making the time to dive deeper into the site content when you first mentioned it.

Please treat the Wayback archive as canonical for this resource: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://lillian.com/

The most recent version with the front page image having a correct link is this:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220401185037/http://www.lillia...

Captures newer than that have the image linking to CBD gummies.

I'm also seeing CBD gummies on the photo link. I don't see a "More" link at the bottom of the main page, though, at least not on mobile.

I think you may have been pwned.

I’m getting the same, on my phone, over 5g
