Brett Cooper has a new gig.
A 23-year-old podcaster and YouTube creator who leans towards conservatism has teamed up with Fox News Media, according to a statement made on June 25th, where they will now serve as a contributor.
Previously featured as a guest on the network, Cooper now boasts an impressive fanbase of over nine million followers across her social media outlets. In addition to announcing her new position as a commentator discussing politics, culture, and other topics, Fox highlighted her as being recognized for her down-to-earth viewpoint, quick humor, and unique insights.
In an earlier interview on “My View with Lara Trump” in April, Cooper (who got married to Alex Tombul last year) opened up about her experience navigating the young conservative scene. Her journey started during her time as a student at the University of California Los Angeles.
She shared that she was once an actress who started her career as a child, “During the pandemic, I came to understand that my beliefs, shaped by upbringing, had created a sense of distance between me and the broader entertainment world.
Initially, Cooper was observed conducting on-campus conservative television segments during her college years. Later, she was recruited by the conservative online publication, The Daily Wire, to host her own podcast titled “The Comments Section”. She relinquished this role towards the end of last year.
In April, Cooper detailed why she believes she’s connected so strongly to a Gen Z audience.
She said, ‘It’s essential to connect with people on their level,’ she told Fox News previously. ‘My aim was to encourage understanding, which seemed to attract many individuals who initially might have been hesitant to listen to a conservative viewpoint.’
On her own YouTube channel, Cooper discusses and delves into popular cultural controversies such as the heated social media discussion concerning Sabrina Carpenter’s album cover for “Man’s Best Friend” and the continuous legal dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.
She clarified to Fox News that she doesn’t anticipate you adopting her views or altering your own opinions through her videos. Instead, she aims for you to engage with her content after watching it, and to gain insight into perspectives from the other side of the political spectrum.

In 2023, it was Colleen Ballinger, not her YouTube persona, who had to confront serious music-related issues. The internet sensation recognized for her character Miranda Sings found herself embroiled in allegations of grooming and fostering inappropriate connections with underage admirers.
In a now-deleted June video titled “why I left the Colleen Ballinger fandom…”, YouTuber KodeeRants disclosed screenshots of an alleged conversation between Colleen and her followers, accusing the comedian of creating exploitative relationships with underage fans.
As reported by NBC News, the authenticity of the group chat, named “Colleeny’s Weenies,” could not be confirmed. In this chat, it was claimed that Colleen asked her fans about their favorite sexual positions during one conversation.
Following these allegations, content creator Adam McIntyre—who originally managed a fan account for Miranda Sings when he was 10—posted videos on his own YouTube channel, asserting that Ballinger emotionally manipulates her fans.
To date, Ballinger has not directly addressed McIntyre’s claims or responded to TopMob News’ request for comment. However, on June 28, she posted a 10-minute ukulele song on her personal YouTube account, where she compared the accusations to a “toxic gossip train” heading towards “manipulation station,” while the rest of the internet “tied me to the tracks and harassed me for my past.”
In July, the remaining dates of her Miranda Sings tour were canceled. Since then, she has remained silent on social media.
Hey there! As a lifestyle advocate, let me share some thoughts that resonate with my perspective. It all started when the author of ‘Girl, Wash Your Face’ shared an experience about her house cleaner, which ironically got increasingly messier.
In a now-deleted post, Angie Treasure resurfaced a clip where Hollis discussed a woman who “cleans the toilets,” remarking that some commenters called her privileged. She acknowledged this and further stated that she’s not interested in being relatable, citing icons such as Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marie Curie, and Oprah Winfrey as examples of unrelatable figures.
However, it’s essential to clarify that while selling millions of books is impressive, being a revered abolitionist she is not. A few days later, Hollis issued an Instagram apology, acknowledging the pain she had caused by mentioning prominent women, including several women of color, whose struggles and achievements she couldn’t possibly understand. She also recognized the people who work hard yet lack financial security due to biased systems and pledged to listen more honestly in the future.
In March 2020, the creator of Something Navy clothing line and original blogger informed her Instagram followers that she had contracted COVID-19 and planned to isolate in her Manhattan apartment with her husband Brandon Charnas and daughters Ruby and Esme. However, eight days later, her entire household—including their nanny—decided to move to the Hamptons.
To put it mildly, this didn’t reflect well on her image. The comments on her Instagram page grew increasingly critical as she shared pictures of outdoor walks instead of adhering to social distancing guidelines.
When her husband cracked that only “hot” people were getting the virus, emotions boiled over.
After initially parting ways with Nordstrom due to an expired contract in 2019, Charnas, who welcomed her third child, Navy, in 2021, opted for a direct-to-consumer relaunch, citing the desire for more control. She now frequently shares her favorite Shopbop picks and collaborations with A Pea in the Pod. In retrospect, on ‘The Glossy Podcast’, she admitted, “I should have been more aware of the world’s issues and shown more sensitivity.
In 2020, fashion blogger Emily Gellis Lande publicly criticized dietitian Lisa Zuckerbrot over allegations of health issues caused by Zuckerbrot’s high-fiber F-Factor Diet. In a series of posts, Gellis Lande shared unverified accounts from dieters who claimed to have experienced rashes, cramps, signs of metal poisoning, and even a miscarriage after following the diet and spending thousands of dollars on Zuckerbrot’s products. These claims gained attention when The New York Times published an article about the controversy.
Lisa Zuckerbrot responded by hiring lawyer Lanny Davis (former White House special counsel to President Bill Clinton) and denied the allegations, stating that only 50 health complaints were received out of over 176,000 sales of her snack bars and powders. She also released a Certificate of Analysis to address concerns about heavy metals in her products and appeared on Today to further defend her diet program.
Zuckerbrot seems unimpressed by Gellis Lande’s criticisms, calling her a fashion blogger and suggesting that she believes Gellis Lande is trying to harm her brand with a smear campaign. Both parties have filed lawsuits against each other over the allegations, which are currently pending. Gellis Lande has denied Zuckerbrot’s claims.
2020 saw many parts of the world experiencing a significant increase in racial awareness. However, it was Jessica Mulroney, a close friend of Meghan Markle, who found herself in a difficult situation. In a nearly 12-minute video on Instagram, lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter detailed their issues, stating that the problems began when Mulroney took offense to Exeter’s call for her followers to use their voices to support the Black community and combat racial issues.
Exeter claimed that Mulroney behaved in a problematic manner, allegedly speaking negatively about Exeter to other brands and sending a threatening message. Although Mulroney issued an apology in a comment on Exeter’s video, she later sent a direct message that Exeter shared, which read, “Liable [sic] suit. Good luck.”
Mulroney posted an apology to her followers, expressing her intention to amplify Black voices by allowing them to take over her account and share their experiences. However, CTV announced the cancellation of her reality show I Do, Redo.
Ben Mulroney, Jessica’s husband, stepped down from his role as co-host on CTV’s eTalk, expressing hope that the new host would be Black, Indigenous, or a person of color who could use this platform to inspire, lead, and bring about change. Despite these events, Jessica managed to keep her high-profile friendship, writing in a now-deleted post, “Meghan and I are family. She is the kindest friend.
Famous for his popular cinematic work like “I DUCT TAPED My Brothers $400,000 Dollar TRUCK!” and being dismissed from Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark, the former Vine star turned YouTube personality escalated to higher ground in 2020.
On August 5th, federal authorities carried out a search warrant at Paul’s residence in Calabasas, California, which the FBI confirmed was linked to an incident on May 30th at a Scottsdale, Arizona mall. Live streaming from a Black Lives Matter protest that culminated at Fashion Square Mall, Paul disregarded police orders to vacate and stayed inside the shopping center. However, in a Twitter post, he asserted that while documenting the protest, neither he nor his group were involved in any looting or vandalism.
Speculation about the reason behind the FBI raid grew as large as his YouTube following, with footage from a local ABC station showing multiple firearms being taken away by police. In an August 12th video that has since been deleted, Paul claimed that the search was “entirely related to the Arizona looting situation” and emphasized that it was part of an investigation. There were rumors about its connection with other matters unrelated to him or his character, which he deemed as ridiculous.
Although no charges were brought forth, Paul’s attorney told TopMob News in a statement that they would collaborate with the investigation.
Over a year since reconciling with fellow beauty influencer Tati Westbrook, the YouTube star has found himself embroiled in fresh disputes. In an August 2020 tweet about celebrities launching makeup lines, he implied that Alicia Keys, who is well-known for her minimal makeup look, should not have a skincare line, later retracting his statement as he realized he’s “not the gatekeeper of cosmetics.” However, barely two weeks later, he stirred up another controversy when he criticized Lauren Conrad’s new beauty brand on Instagram. He displayed empty packaging from the new makeup company to his 22 million followers, suggesting that Conrad had no business in the cosmetics industry.
Luckily for Conrad, she took the incident humorously, admitting her error on Instagram by blaming the individual who assembled the gifts (read: the skilled eyeliner artist herself). She explained that she had filled bags with samples to test their fit and accidentally included an empty bag along with the others, which was then sent out. “She will be let go immediately,” Conrad joked.
Later, Charles apologized, stating that his videos were intended as humor and sharing that he had privately resolved the misunderstanding with Conrad. Nevertheless, it’s evident that he recognizes his actions.
In the May 2020 video, vlogger and YouTuber Myka Stauffer began by stating, “This is undoubtedly the most difficult video James and I have ever had to produce publicly.” It was clear that she wasn’t going to discuss her newborn routine or diet. Instead, she and her husband disclosed that they had placed their 4-year-old son Huxley, whom they adopted from China in 2017, with his new permanent family due to the challenges of managing his autism.
The response from their almost one million subscribers was primarily anger. Viewers debated whether the couple, parents to four other children, were either unaware or had used Huxley for views and donations only to abandon him when caring for him became too hard. The duo lost followers and partnerships with brands like Fabletics, Suave, Danimals, who cut ties with them. Even the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio confirmed they were investigating Huxley’s well-being to TopMob News.
Authorities concluded their investigation in late June without pressing any charges. However, Myka’s brand remains dormant, as she hasn’t posted on YouTube or Instagram since issuing a lengthy statement expressing regret for her lack of understanding during the adoption process and clarifying that they were not under any kind of investigation.
The journey turned out to be quite an eventful one when Hall and his TikTok companion declared their road trip plan across the country in May 2020. Their announcement stirred more than just travel advice from Twitter followers, as many were displeased with their decision to travel amidst stay-at-home recommendations.
To add fuel to the fire, five days later they encountered trouble in Lee County, Texas, where Hall was arrested for marijuana possession and Hossler charged with controlled substances possession. They both posted bail the following day, but neither of their representatives commented on the matter when contacted by TopMob News.
In a June essay published in People, Hall admitted to embarking on the road to sobriety: “I’ve made mistakes in the past, but I am learning and growing… I will make you proud. I promise.
In October 2019, YouTube personalities, the Stokes Twins, pulled off a prank that wasn’t as adorable as George Clooney and Brad Pitt covering Julia Roberts’ dressing room door in shaving cream. The twins dressed in black, mimicking robbers, and called an Uber to act as their getaway car while filming. The unsuspecting Uber driver refused to leave, and a bystander phoned the police.
When the Irvine police arrived, they pointed their guns at the Uber driver and released him once they confirmed he was not involved. They then warned the Stokes Twins about the potential dangers of their pranks.
Four hours later, the twins repeated the stunt on the University of California, Irvine campus, leading to their arrest. If convicted on charges of false imprisonment and swatting (making a fake emergency call), they could have faced up to four years in prison. However, Orange County D.A., Todd Spitzer, criticized them for potentially causing serious harm or even death.
In a 2020 statement, their lawyer declared that the twins were innocent of any crimes. Despite this, they admitted to less severe charges of misdemeanor false imprisonment and making a false emergency report. As a result, they received 160 hours of community service and one year of probation.
As the renowned figure on YouTube, often referred to as its “King,” I garnered an astounding following of approximately 34 million individuals, all thanks to my extensive video content. However, my reign came to a sudden end in June 2020, following a controversial tweet that I later deleted, expressing my discontent with the online beauty community. In essence, I criticized them for being attention-seeking, manipulative, self-absorbed, and vengeful, among other things. I particularly singled out James Charles, accusing him of being an egotistical, power-hungry individual who needed a significant dose of humility.
My followers were far from impressed, with many reminding me that those living in glass houses should not throw stones. Just days later, I released a 20-minute video titled “Taking Accountability,” where I expressed regret for my past actions and acknowledged the harm I had caused. I confessed to numerous transgressions, including using blackface, making racially insensitive remarks and jokes, pedophilic comments, and sexualizing a then-11-year-old Willow Smith in one of my videos.
In this video, I expressed my desire to take responsibility for my actions, saying, “I have done many things in the past that I deeply regret.” I emphasized, “This video is born out of a desire to acknowledge and make amends for everything I’ve done online that has caused pain, added to the problem, or been mishandled.” As a result, YouTube suspended my ability to monetize my three accounts.
I returned to content creation in 2021, expressing gratitude for having been “cancelled” as it significantly impacted my life positively.
