In November 2017, she accused Jeffrey Tambor, former lead star of the show for making a sexually aggressive move without her consent. After the controversy, actor Jeffrey got fired from the show.

Moreover, her hometown wasn’t an accommodating place to her budding, transgender sexuality. However, her mother was supportive of her after the actress had revealed her true sexual identity to her.

Eventually, the 32-year-old star moved to New York and underwent gender reassignment surgery. But, she faced more challenges as she lost her job at Bloomingdale in New York as she wasn’t allowed to use the women restroom.

While working as a stripper, the actress fell in love with a mystery guy. But, her partner dumped her.

Unable to handle the heartbreak, she tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrist. Post the incident, she got admitted to Bellevue Hospital's psych ward. After getting better, she decided to give acting a serious shot. Her second chance at life worked as she turned her life around.

However, still scarred by the bad break-up, Trace is vocal about her harsh outlook towards love themed events such as Valentine's day. On 14th February 2016, Trace shared her distaste towards the day via Twitter.

As for 2019, the actress is not dating anyone and doesn't seem to have her eyes set on getting married.
