A few days ago, the charity Missing People released an appeal for the 22-year-old to get in touch amid claims she went missing from her home in Haringey, London on 31 July, but her boyfriend Brandon Mehmed has since posted on Instagram to say that “she is safe and well”.
The appeal is officially closed.
According to Mehmed, Joyce will “make a video soon explaining all of this” once the dust has settled following claims he had something to do with her disappearance.
“It became a bit too much what with everyone thinking I’m a suspect and all,” he wrote, adding: “I knew she was safe because I spoke to her 24/7 and I wasn’t withholding any information.”
He continued: “This hasn’t been an easy time for Marina and I hope you guys can respect her privacy for the next day or two until she releases a video to explain everything.”

She explained to her fans that she wanted to create a shrine where she could draw, meditate and “find... extreme spiritual help and guidance”.
