Apparently born Kelsey McCullough under the sign of Taurus, on 28 April 2001, in New York City USA, ‘Francesca Stugot’ is a 22-year-old Caucasian TikTok creator and Instagram celebrity, most famous for her series of prank calls that popularized the fake name of Francesca Stugot, by which she is much easier to recognize than her real one. She has experienced some success over the course of her sometimes lucrative social media entertainment career since an unspecified date.
Early life & education: Yet to be discovered
Since even Francesca Stugot is a fake name, it’s no a wonder anything at all is known about this TikTok celebrity. She was raised in her birthplace apparently an only child, by her mother and father of unknown names and professions. Her early interests have been hidden from the public as well, but fans believe that she had an average upbringing in a healthy household, with the most average concerns of a little girl, such as makeup and clothing. One thing that’s abundantly clear from the videos she posts is her inherent confidence, which is thought to have shaped her relationships with people from early youth.
As for her education, Francesca attended a local high school in her birthplace, matriculating in 2019. Following that she enrolled into Marist College – a private university in Poughkeepsie, New York, to pursue an unspecified major, moving in to become roommates with her best college friend. As of late 2023, she’s still studying there, and is likely to graduate in the second half of 2024.
Career: A star out of the blue
Although Francesca began posting videos on TikTok as early as 2020, it wasn’t until 2023 that she came up with the idea of this unconventional character, which then garnered her fame overnight. Prior to inventing Stugot, she had a number of followers most frequently considered quite basic, if only slightly higher than an average user. The idea behind the project was very simple in its essence – prank call random men and pretend to have met them at a particular event they actually went to. She would get this inside information from her targets’ friends at the beginning, although this proved to be a somewhat lengthy and cumbersome process.
Therefore, she later placed a linktr.ee link in her TikTok account description, which featured something called New Franny Stugs Suggestion form – essentially just a Google document that anyone could fill out and send details to her. In it she asked for very particular information that would make her story believable to anyone, such as the male’s name and phone number, where and when she supposedly met him, as well as random facts that only those who spoke to him would know. At the bottom of the page there was also a Venmo username area for those who sent her money through that app, presumably to skip the queue and have their prank calls happen as soon as possible.
With all of this information gathered, Francesca would put her character on and add her omnipresent confidence to the mix, with a somewhat fake voice as the last cherry on top. Certain signature quotes would arise through these highly viewed prank call videos, such as ‘muah muah,’ ‘long brown hair, big boobs, skinny waist,’ and ‘Francesca Stugot out.’ She would later turn this rising trend into a way of earning an income, opening her shop on sunshinedesigns.com, which featured t-shirts, crop tops, hoodies, bags and hats sporting an assortment of quotes.
Her private Instagram account states that she is the CEO of Franny’s Meals on Wheels. The name comes from one of the most frequent lies she would tell during the prank calls, which is that she is ‘working on [her] meal prep business, just like [she] told you, remember?’ Although it’s unknown whether she actually uploaded all of her prank calls, every single one that she did was a success, leading those who saw the videos to have a range of reactions, from disbelief to complete disappointment in men.
It’s also noteworthy that her roommate may have had a hand in inventing the character, since they co-posted the prank calls on a shared account. The situation had changed since then, however, and as of late 2023, the prank call videos are all held on a separate TikTok account, while Francesca’s own profile, featuring her other fake name – Olivia Marie – is dedicated to her regular uploads. The prank calls seem to have been the only thing keeping TikTok users waiting, since her other posts range from 600 to 2500 views on average. This is in stark contrast to her prank call content, whose regular viewership reaches up to 250,000. A standout example is entitled “I wonder if francesca stugot is gonna call me tonight,” from 31 March 2023, with almost a million views.
no because the “post this on Instagram reels” TikTok comments make me giggle every!! time!!!

In spite of the enviable success of what she came up with, Francesca doesn’t appear too keen on making it as a TikTok creator or social media celebrity of any kind, which in fact garners respect among her smaller audience. Some of the comments suggest that her low follower count is perfect for pranking, since her future victims are very unlikely to have heard of Francesca Stugot. It seems that she hasn’t uploaded any new prank calls over the latter half of 2023, signifying that it could perhapshave been just a phase of her life, though fans remain hopeful.
The birth of Francesca Stugot
Fortunately for the curious crowd, Francesca sat turned on the camera during one of her pre-night-out make-up sessions and spoke about the truth behind the character, how she was created, and why. Posted on 20 September 2023, the video provided crucial insight into the lore of her TikTok existence as a whole. That’s also where she revealed her real name, but not the surname, admitting also that Franny’s Meals on Wheels doesn’t actually exist, but that she would be glad to take that project on if the character ever found true success on social media.
Most importantly Francesca Stugot was created by Kelsey and her college friends during a night when they couldn’t go outside, and began prank calling random men whose numbers they already had. Without the aforementioned form, they simply assumed which places those men would’ve gone to in order to seem believable. Her roommate, known to the TikTok audience as Priscilla, who is factually named Liv, suggested that Kelsey should be Francesca, Francesca Stugot, and from that moment on she really was, in every following prank call. Funnily enough, they barely even thought of doing these in the first place, thinking back to their high school days and what they used to do for futhen. Apparently, prank calls are still hilarious when done right.
Love life: Does she have a boyfriend?
The only time any man is featured in Francesca’s videos is when she records nights out with her female friends, or poses questions to street passersby. It’s therefore been impossible to connect any potential beau to Stugot, and she herself hasn’t expressed any interest in a particular man either, at least to her viewers. This has led to some speculation regarding her sexuality, but there’s no confirmation of her swinging either way. Much like the rest of her private life, Stugot has kept these details firmly out of public knowledge. According to what is believed, she’s never dated anyone.
Net worth: How rich is she?
It’s been determined by some of the most reputable media outlets on the matter that Francesca’s total accumulated wealth doesn’t exceed $100,000. While fans believe that she could’ve made a lot more by choosing to capitalize on the fiery trend she’d created, it seems this wasn’t in Stugot’s interest, and she settled for selling clothes through a third party website, and taking voluntary Venmo donations.
Body measurements: What is her height?
Francesca is 5ft 6ins (167cms) tall, and weighs 125lbs (57kgs), with vital statistics of 30-24-36, bra size 30D, shoe size 6. She has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, a rather pale complexion until she applies makeup, and a body type some describe as curvy, some as average.
