Health Issues

She also suffered from severe Trigeminal neuralgia in 2023, which required her to remove a tumor from her face. She first revealed her diagnosis on social media saying, she’s “been experiencing incredible pain through my face, jaw, ear, neck, arm and hand on my right side” and explained that it was severe Trigeminal neuralgia.

Unfortunately, Danielle health problems extended to her family as well. In November 2024, she asked fans to send “healing energy” to her sister Annie but did not further disclose anything about the matter. On December 2024, she made a video announcing she’s canceling a burlesque performance with Dr. Lucky’s Blue Review in New Mexico. In the video, she explained the reason for the cancellation being because of “some very serious health issues happening within my family.” She did not specify what the “serious health issues” were but reassured fans she’s “fine” and that her family needs her right now. She asked fans to “feel free to send prayers, blessings, good vibes, healing thoughts and energy toward my family at this time.”

“I did a thing! After almost 6 long years, I finally made an honest man out of my king @jscheuch,” she wrote. “Feel free to head over to Patreon and watch the proposal video for yourself, I actually proposed to him on my birthday while we were filming my birthday burlesque show.”

Colby has reportedly been married three times before. There has been conflicting reports of her being married first either to Robert Strong and Chad Cushman. She also wedded and divorced French designer Alexandre De Meyer. The American Pickers star has two children: daughter Memphis and son Miles.

Burlesque and OnlyFans

Danielle does burlesque on the side and used to be a roller derby girl for three years. She was the director and founder of her own burlesque troupe, Burlesque Le’ Moustache, where she went by the stage name Dannie Diesel.

According to a 2010 interview with River Cities’ Reader, she shared her interest in burlesque started when she was “10 or 12 years old.” But her aspiration to become one happened when she saw a performance with comedienne Margaret Cho and legendary burlesque artist Satan’s Angel in Chicago.

“It was amazing,” Danielle said to the outlet. “Growing up in a strict household, I think I went into that evening thinking that burlesque was taboo and wrong and bad. But what I realized after I left that event was how absolutely liberating it was, to be in a room with women on stage who were ranging from a size zero to a size of, easily, 28 – all different types of women, with all different strengths.”

“I left thinking, ‘Who cares if I have stretch marks? Who cares if I’m a size 14 or 12 or 10? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that I like myself.‘ That’s the feeling I left with, and it was life-changing, and at that point I knew I wanted to do it [burlesque],” she continued.

She also had a burlesque academy Dannie Diesel’s Bump ‘n’ Grind Academy. The burlesque dancer currently has a OnlyFan account which she shares NSFW material such as appearing nude.
