Where Is Valerie Quinn?

Ever since the ill-fated Glitter Bats reunion, Valerie Quinn has been noticeably MIA. This is new behavior from Quinn, who has been a mainstay in the LA nightlife scene since she moved here permanently several years ago. Even when she wasn’t partying it up, she was seen slipping in and out of clubs, hanging in VIP sections at shows, and dining in celebrity hotspots. But not now.
For more than a week, Quinn hasn’t been spotted at so much as a grocery store or her favorite coffee shop, much less her usual haunts. No one knows if she’s even in LA. Her social media has been wiped clean. Fans are worried, and rightfully so.
If you’ve been online at all, you know everyone has been speculating about what’s keeping her away—whether it’s shame or fear or a carefully cultivated media strategy—but Quinn is the only person who can answer that question. I join many fans in hoping she’s okay. When I reached out to her management for comment, the only statement I got in response is that “Valerie is taking some time.”
But from what? With the Glitter Bats reunion coming to a screeching halt last week and the news of Epic Theme Song ’s unfortunate cancellation, Quinn’s schedule has opened up.
So maybe this is the real question: What’s next for Valerie Quinn?
