TikTok star Jake “Goobi Gubbi” Kind announced that his grandmother Judith “Judy” Bernstein, affectionately known as “Mimmy,” has died. She was 82.

Kind, 27, shared a video on Friday, September 5, that Bernstein had previously filmed with the intention of saying goodbye to her grandson’s 650,000-plus followers.

“If you are watching this, it means I’m dead,” she said, showcasing her signature deadpan humor.

Kind then urged Bernstein to give a proper “speech” by speaking “from the heart.”

From filmmakers to artists, Hollywood lost many stars in 2025. News broke on January 4 that Aubrey Plaza’s estranged husband, Jeff Baena, died one day earlier at the age of 47. Per medical examiner records viewed by Us Weekly, Baena died by suicide. “This is an unimaginable tragedy,” Plaza’s rep said in a statement to […]

“I had the most fabulous life,” Bernstein told the camera. “I traveled the world with [my late husband] Arnie, went all over. We had phenomenal people that we did everything with.”

Kind quickly interrupted Bernstein to whisper, “Orgies” before declaring, “We have to make this a little bit funny! It’s a very dark topic.”

After Bernstein went off on a tangent about traveling to South America, Kind interjected once more to remind his grandma, “This is a speech about you, not about the country of Brazil. This is your message to tell everyone that you’re no longer [here].”

Finally, Bernstein said her farewells, telling viewers, “I had a fabulous life. That’s what you need to remember.”

Jake grew a massive following on social media over the past few years thanks in large part to his hilarious videos with Bernstein and his mother, Andrea Kind, many of which have amassed millions of views each.

“It’s three generations coming together, showing everything we’ve been through, and that’s very approachable,” the Philadelphia-based influencer told 6abc Action News in March of why he thought people followed his account.

During the same interview, Andrea, 56, pointed out that her son’s fans also enjoyed seeing Bernstein find humor in tough times.

“She’s got 10 — like, legitimately 10 — primary cancers, congestive heart failure and lung disease and still is going strong,” she said of her mom’s health issues, which were often a topic of discussion in Jake’s videos.

The online community is honoring the lives of several social media influencers who died in 2025. On April 1, nursing influencer Hailey Okula died at age 33 after giving birth to her first child. Husband Matthew Okula shared that his wife died from amniotic fluid embolism and was able to briefly meet their baby before […]

Andrea added that she was grateful her son had documented so much of Bernstein’s final years.

“These are memories I’m gonna look back at and will probably cry sometimes but laugh a lot,” she said, to which Jake agreed, “It’s like a little living scrapbook, if you will. We can just look back and see what happened three years ago, and it’s just so funny.”

Bernstein shared in a 2017 profile by Philadelphia’s Fox Chase Cancer Center that she was first diagnosed with lymphoma in 2001 while working as a second grade teacher, which forced her to retire. She later battled breast, esophageal, thyroid and additional skin cancers.

“I know that life may be short, so I enjoy everything and don’t let things or unkind people trouble me,” she said at the time. “Everyone has a story. Fate can’t change what is going to happen to you, but you can change your attitude and how you are going to accept it.”
