- She later married a man named Tim Macklin, and had a kid with him in 2019.
- Macklin, a comedian, died at age 36 in 2023. It's not clear how he died, and I'm wondering if it was suicide or a drug OD, as nothing online states the cause of death, which usually indicates something the family would prefer wasn't public. 36-year-olds don't usually just kick the bucket out of nowhere, so either it was likely either an accident, act of violence, drug OD, or suicide.
- Shortly after Macklin's death, Renee suddenly changed gears and shacked up with a lesbian. She married the woman, and took that woman's last name (Good). Her wife took credit for having encouraged her to come down to interfere with the ICE activity, and was filmed crying and blaming herself. Apparently the plan was for Renee to park her car to inhibit ICE, while her wife would record the ensuing "abuse" and post it on social media. Obviously this plan went very badly, and now Renee is dead.
It's unclear if Renee was a lesbian all along and suddenly accepted this in 2023 after her husband's death, or if she was bisexual, or if the trauma of her husband's death made her more open to a relationship with a woman who was there for her during the grieving period.
Anyway the moral of the story is don't fuck with federal agents in order to make viral Tiktok videos.
