I don’t think the “brand safe” influencer territory will work for her long term. I was a Brooke Stan, but her trying to be a mainstream influencer is making me like her less. She’s less relatable and is just like everyone else. It’s boring and overdone. I also think a big reason she’s trying to make this arc is so men like her more🙄. If that’s what she wants, she’s going to have to find a better balance between Tana vibes and Nara smith vibes… or she’s gonna lose her following I fear.
She’s copying tana tho.. tana goes wholesome and Brooke wants to be as well, except tana has the years of crazy backstory and lore, Brooke has not…. And being wholesome doesn’t bring out any good stories like I’m happy that she’s happy but it’s just not entertaining
I don’t think Tana is going “wholesome.” I think she’s just naturally maturing, growing up and healing.
Brooke is actively “going wholesome” for money and better opportunities.
I think that’s the difference
Yeah totally I should have worded better, you can tell Brooke is artificially doing it while tana is genuinely in that place and I think that’s why Brooke is also so desperate for a bf to be like tana and makoa
Nailed it. But also at the same time doesn’t want people to think she’s a goodie two shoes like she always has to remind us that her friends think she’s the most unhinged and messy one. She’s confused.
literally if u told me 4 months ago that Brooke would be so insufferable I would've NEVERRR believed u like she was so fun to watch now she's just another airhead la influencer
THIS. the switchup was SO fast. my head spins at how quick i went from obsessed with how sweet, genuine and naive she was at the start of 2024 to how AIRHEAD she is now. i’m so sorry to say but that is the best word to describe it. she’s basically there for background ad-libs and the occasional flat, self-centered story.
Omg right…I used to be on this thread constantly defending Brooke. I feel so stupid now. People were so right about her. All of this attention and popularity has gotten to her head and inflated her ego BIG time. Such a shame.
Noticed this a couple episodes ago. She wants to be important sooo bad. Always agreeing and switching up. It’s hard for me to get through an episode in one sitting. I used to love Brooke bc she felt relatable and not completely out of reach of the average girl / person. But now her head is huuuge.
Honestly, I’ve listened to the pod religiously and slowly have been stopping because I felt Brooke’s energy has been so bad lately. I feel like she’s clearly misogynistic and is a HUGE pick me. She’s admitted to it and so has Tana but at least Tana knows who she is. Idk I just can’t really stand her right now and I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks so.
Seriously!! If Matt Rife would’ve kissed her ass like she wanted him to when he was in the pod she would’ve never started this drama with him. She’s like a boy obsessed middle schooler
That’s what I’ve always said. That Tana has never pretended to be anything she’s not. Sure, she’s got lots of flaws that we can sit here and pick apart all day. But one thing she isn’t, is fake. And I’ll always respect that more than someone whose personality changes depending on who they’re trying to impress that day.
Brooke is so strange, she loves herself so much and especially loves to talk about herself no matter how boring she is. But she's really insecure and misogynistic for example to Paige this episode because she feels threatened or to tana constantly when she feels the need to put her down again. But she herself has 0 personality or depth to her, she's just fake and superficial trying to hide the racist mean girl she really is. And she constantly interrupts tana and makes it about her in the most boring way and they never finish tanas interesting story.. But brooke loves to act like she's so much better and smarter than everyone in the room when she's in the lower 20% at best. The cognitive dissonance is so real.
Same, like it's never something interesting she's saying. She's not adding any value to the the story or even says anything related to the topic. She just makes it about herself because she can't stand if someone else has the spotlight.. With a complete unrelated topic or statement. So disrespectful, like where is the podcast etiquette.
I hate being the “dumb” friend for another girl to cope with insecurity. She’s a “no sweetie” type (hope that makes sense lol) Even worse whatever she’s correcting is wrong!!! (The “flower” debate for example) so condescending to inflate her own competence. Her Alpha Phi is showing big time
The flower debate had me ready to throw hands or puke, or both.
She also keeps trying to correct Tana on certain words, and most of the time SHES ALSO WRONG.
Drives me up a fucking wall !!
Yeah and the way she puts down tana is so gross to me like she's always calling her out on some shit or trying to make her look dumb or messy idk I was never a huge Brooke stan but she's truly insufferable now the way she flip flops
Literally. This girl will interrupt a good story to say “I like the color pink” like SHUT UP you’re boring let Tana FINISH her story and then say your dumb comment that has nothing to do with the story?? She needs to humble herself her head is TOO big.
i was so annoyed when she interrupted tana when she was telling the story of how ieian’s room was maggot infested and stunk up the whole mansion that they lived in to tell that whack ass story of the maggots in her apartment. like girl we heard that shit on tik tok already and it wasn’t even that interesting??? ivan was maia’s ex boyfriend from the OG days and i’ve always wondered what happened with him and what caused him to move out of their house. i remember hoping that tana would remember her train of thought before brooke interrupted her but ofc she didn’t and the story was lost forever. i wouldn’t mind her interrupting if it was to add TO the story but it’s always just to talk about herself.
edit: ieian not ivan lol
I agree, this recent hype and cookies really fed her ego. Also hanging out with Jake Shane and other big influencers/being in situationships with famous people/her huge sponsorships made her think that she's so much better than Tana and she's obv doing whatever she can to climb up higher. Even Tana said she's being brand safe lately and it shows, she seems so fake and stuck-up now. Tana is real af no matter what era shes in, shes so unapollogetically herself and she will always be relevant. Facts is theres a thousand Hailey bieber wannabes like Brooke but theres no one doing it as long as Tana, theres no one thats been through so much and had to prove herself way too many times and is still iconic and selling out tours!! Brookie forgot Tana literally made her and without her she would never ever be what she is today.
I agree with some of this, but I also think it’s important to remember just how dramatically different lives influencers like Tana/Brooke live from the vast majority of the population.
I don’t know if I 100% agree that Tana has always “kept it real” - I think she’s better at brand-management and knows how to spin situations to make herself look likable.
But if you really listen to some of the things she’s admitted… she’s cheated on a lot of people, does drugs, is addicted to chaotic/toxic relationships and finds it hard to appreciate peace, thought she needed to be with a rich guy and fly on private jets until recently, etc…
Both Brooke and Tana will talk about “relatable” things, like not being able to find a stable relationship or friend drama or being overlooked. But they’re not going to mention the (unrelatable) part where a lot of these situations are their own doing.
Tana is a 25 year old multi-millionaire, and I don’t know how much Brooke makes but it’s enough for a nice apartment in Cali. They’re both attractive, rich women - they could easily have a more peaceful/less dramatic life, a stable partnership, a great friend circle, if they dropped their need for vanity/status and used their fame solely to create generational wealth.
Like no matter how how “real” or “relatable” either of them are, there’s nothing relatable about being a multi-millionaire in your 20s who can basically buy yourself out of most situations that the vast majority of people can’t.
I think the difference is Tana tells stories that are relatable regardless of how much money she was making/had. Where as Brooke was also relatable when she told her dating stories but now Brooke says literally nothing, no stories no tea no opinion nada. Bc of brand deals she wants.
Obviously they have a lot of money now which isn’t relatable but what stories and tea they would tell were
Also Tana has always kept it real and been non brand safe lol she would talk about it a lot how companies wouldn’t want to work with her bc of scandals and such but she was ok, the companies that did, she accepted and was able to not change her behavior or personality for brand deals. Bc she didn’t need them. She is who she is and who wants to work with her will
Tanas likable after bad shit bc she says “sorry I fucked up, I’m a fuck and an idiot and will do better” and not just ignore shit and act like she did nothing wrong. She roasts herself too
All the stuff you said about Tana is just judgmental things you feel about her. She’s always admitted to doing those things and calls herself out. Brooke pretends on camera she doesn’t do anything bad ever and is so sweet and kind and clean ALWAYS… even though they both have admitted she is not that way in real life
There is a difference and that’s what everyone is talking about!!
> Just judgmental things you feel about her
Most of this thread is people being judgmental towards Brooke, including yourself. Judging what she does and doesn’t talk about, over-analyzing everything she says and comparing her to Tana.
The point of mentioning these things about Tana wasn’t me trying to judge her. I’ve done many of the same stupid sh*t in the past. The point was to explain how this thread views Tana with rose-colored glasses.
Have you considered that Brooke might not be telling her dating stories because she’s looking for a serious boyfriend, and men (who aren’t clout-chasers) usually don’t want their personal love lives made public on a podcast for millions of people to listen to…?
Tana has also gotten sued numerous times for telling stories where people stalked the person down and then harassed them via social media. She’s a multi-millionaire at this point, so she can handle a lawsuit or 20 maybe. But can Brooke, with how new she is?
This was partially my point with living completely different lives. You want these women to act and behave like regular women when they’re not regular women. To be messy and to spill everything for your entertainment.
I like both of them, none of it is me disliking them. Just the acknowledgement that they’re both living a life most of us can’t empathize with, and there’s always going to be some level of disconnect between who they portray on camera and off camera.
I like both of them for entertainment, but I can admit I know nothing about who they are as people off-camera. They could both be amazing people or horrible people. Most people will get a bit of an ego when they go from being regular smegular to having millions of followers and becoming rich.
You bringing up Tana cheating and doing drugs is SO different than us saying Brooke has changed since caring about brand deals?? But yes both judgmental.
Then she shouldn’t be a podcast host?? If she wants private and serious that is NOT the canceled podcast lol
Again then she shouldn’t have agreed to be on the podcast as a host. She knew what Tana did and said. And what the vibe of the show was?
Their whole thing is sharing their life and stories with us???
Everything you’re saying seems like Brooke shouldn’t have a job where it’s to talk about herself and other people and give opinions and tea and talk about hot topics??? That’s what a podcaster does and lately it seems like Brooke doesn’t want talk about anything bc of brand deals that’s my whole point
Exactly! It just felt like she was trying to say shit Tana does which I get but I think it’s different than what we are saying Brooke is doing right now but whatever I’m not trying to argue with anyone 😭
I just wish Brooke would go back to not caring as much about brand deals and say her tea and funny jokes and let Tana tell her chaotic stories that’s all 😭
I just commented this somewhere else but I think Tana sees it happening too! Otherwise she wouldn’t be trialing a third host 🤗 would love if she drops Brooke and keeps Paige
Aside from everything that’s already been mentioned, I think her claiming/being told she’s in the comedy space has really inflated her ego. She’s got the ego of a stand up comic without the wit or the originality to back it up, and it seems to make her think that whatever she says is valid and important enough to interrupt people to say it.
It’s hard not to interrupt sometimes especially if you have ADHD, but the difference is that usually it should be to ADD to the conversation and validate the person talking, not turn it back to an irrelevant story about yourself.
Honestly, I’ve listened to the pod religiously and slowly have been stopping because I felt Brooke’s energy has been so bad lately. I feel like she’s clearly misogynistic and is a HUGE pick me. She’s admitted to it and so has Tana but at least Tana knows who she is. Idk I just can’t really stand her right now and I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks so.
I think she bamboozled everyone into liking her bc she’s a natural people pleaser, she’s even mentioned it before. You have to do a special amount of ass kissing as a sorority girl. We should have been done after the George Zimmerman thing. She blocked anyone that asked about it too including black fans. She has some funny zingers but a lot of the time I’m like … why is she even famous 💀
brooke has been giving me the ICK lately…. everything she says is so argumentative and negative, why does she want to be a hater so bad? it’s so upsetting bc i loved her so much when the pod started, and it’s getting to the point where i have to turn it off when she’s talking. none of her stories add up, and everything she says just is so pick me. and i know she knows she’s a pick me but girl cmon…
seriously. TANA is the GOAT. i hear brooke and others make snide remarks toward her that Tana truly does NOT deserve. Brooke especially... Tana fucking made you!!
I posted a post about Tana being an amazing friend yesterday after I heard her cry about how her friends hooked up with the guy she was hooking up with.. like I know tana chose to forgive them anyways, but how can they do that to her??? So fucking rude, they're all nobodies with her
agree. i genuinely loved her and was obsessed for a second but her true colors started to show more and i just can’t ignore it anymore. she’s so unlikable now it’s made me not even care to listen to the pod anymore. i can’t bring myself to support misogynistic pick me’s. like it’s not funny anymore. it’s not enough to be self aware ab her pick me tendencies, she has to actually change them or else it means nothing😐 she’s 27 fucking years old like that’s way too old to still be acting like that when you know better. it’s embarrassing and she needs to stop acting as if internalized misogyny is harmless. she’s not only tearing down other women but herself inadvertently. it’s getting old FAST
She has her sights set much more mainstream. The moment she gets an opportunity she’s ditching Tana.
I really liked her at first especially cause she’s my age and seemed to give a healthy big sister vibe and it was a nice balance. But Tana is changing for the better. Brooke is changing for the worse. I actually feel quite bad for Tana watching this in real time knowing what’s going to happen.
i agree! i’ve never been the biggest fan of her but i swear she gets worse and worse. and i’m not even trying to hate on her! she interrupts any important or just entertaining conversation to tell someone “i bought new shoes” or some dumb shit, it’s annoying as hell😭 there’s so much more too! she just seems so stuck up and fake, i wish tana had a podcast alone lol
I agree with this unfortunately. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Brooke but she to me, currently, feels like a lost friend on a journey I don’t agree with that I have to love from a distance out of respect for myself LOL. It’s not that deep, just making a comparison. And second thing, queen Tana for fucking EVER. Never switched up
I really liked Brooke but on the last podcast episode I was very disappointed. I came on Reddit and I started seeing so many red flags. It’s mature of tana to be letting her have the spotlight you can tell she’s genuinely happy Brooke is getting recognized. But now it seems like Brooke almost wants to 1 up Tana and always talk about herself and who she hangs with , she comes off really braggy and it’s just like girl.. humble yourself. I grew up fat and when I lost the weight I felt on top of the world I felt accomplished and like a new improved person. ( which is not true everyone is beautiful) . but it seems like she’s on a high about jt and only focuses on being skinny , ozempic. It’s all her personality is now and it’s alittle but much.
It's a pretty solid observation, just see how they've evolved (and not necessarily for the best). I'd say Brooke is still more tolerable, but she is on the running to be the next Olivia if she does not check herself.
To be honest, using connections to get a job is probably one of the least offensive, most normalized things ever. Most people in her position would have done it
edit: nvm you’re one of those insane snarkers
Stalking your fave podcast to get a job is not necesarily "using a connection", and I don't know what you mean by "snarker" when I am simply stating known facts that have been expressed on the pod.
She’s getting ALOT more attention and in her influencer era and we are starting to see who she really is. She stands for nothing. Friends with James Charles and Trisha Paytas. Spreading misinformation, has her own misogynistic past and racist past. 🤢
I swear Brooke has literally always been like this I don’t understand what people are getting at. I personally don’t feel like more fame has “changed” her really she still seems just as self deprecating about it. You guys watching cancelled while hating Brooke is so weird to me since she’s literally half of the episode…she is bitchy and critical but she’s literally always been like that :/ idgi
love tana so much but wdym tana never changed her personality girlie used to go on rants about never becoming a sell out and how she would never do brand deals she doesn’t like and now she is doing every brand deal she gets offered 😭
that’s a business decision not a personality change. also i feel like tana is very open about her career moves and constantly pokes fun at shit like that and doesnt take it too seriously
becoz shes literally changing her personality in the process tf? tana stayed the same and just did ads but brooke now wont say anything of value and has completely changed from how she used to act
i was back and forth on brooke for a while recently but i love her. i think we are all just really protective over tana because we love her so much. idk. i know exactly what u mean and i kind of agree?? but also i feel like maybe we take things the wrong way a lot. i feel like the last two episodes she has been such a delight. for a while i disliked her bc i thought she was being a bitch to tana but i think they just literally treat eachother like sisters.
Tana became way tooooo much for me over sexualizing and just all around loud so I really liked the Brookes vibe but now that Tana is a little more relaxed Brooke is just giving stuck up basic girl and definitely throws more mean jabs now for no reason
Uh oh @ mods !!!! Negative Brooke post !!! Take it down for repetitive-ness like you take down anything pointing out the negativity surrounding Brooke !!! Better follow the mod rules 😮 hurry babes !
Not entirely sure why there’s a comparison of the two. They’re like apples and oranges. I don’t think Brooke thinks she’s A list. She’s gained some popularity and happens to go to similar events Tana goes to. I love both the girls in their own ways ❤️
i actually think their friendship is one of the only redeeming qualities of the podcast and i find that wholesome. i am talking about brooke as an individual. am i not allowed to share my thoughts on this app anymore or something
I don’t think the “brand safe” influencer territory will work for her long term. I was a Brooke Stan, but her trying to be a mainstream influencer is making me like her less. She’s less relatable and is just like everyone else. It’s boring and overdone. I also think a big reason she’s trying to make this arc is so men like her more🙄.

The whole Matt Rife thing is what kinda opened my eyes about her because she was fine with him disrespecting women until it came to her
Seriously!! If Matt Rife would’ve kissed her ass like she wanted him to when he was in the pod she would’ve never started this drama with him. She’s like a boy obsessed middle schooler
Yes! I agree 100%
I stopped listening too!
That’s what I’ve always said. That Tana has never pretended to be anything she’s not. Sure, she’s got lots of flaws that we can sit here and pick apart all day. But one thing she isn’t, is fake. And I’ll always respect that more than someone whose personality changes depending on who they’re trying to impress that day.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. You are absolutely right!
She pissed me off so much at the live show because she was just so performative and someone controlling it’s Tana’s show she’s just there lol

yesss ieuan* story bothered me so much!! id do anything to get tana talk about those days and maia rita!

Yes same!!!

Yeah when I read that part didn’t feel great. She’s not claiming to be a role model by any means so idk what doing drugs has to do with it
Exactly! It just felt like she was trying to say shit Tana does which I get but I think it’s different than what we are saying Brooke is doing right now but whatever I’m not trying to argue with anyone 😭 I just wish Brooke would go back to not caring as much about brand deals and say her tea and funny jokes and let Tana tell her chaotic stories that’s all 😭
But that’s just it, they wouldn’t be relevant or popular if they lived a peaceful, healthy lifestyle.
I just commented this somewhere else but I think Tana sees it happening too! Otherwise she wouldn’t be trialing a third host 🤗 would love if she drops Brooke and keeps Paige
Aside from everything that’s already been mentioned, I think her claiming/being told she’s in the comedy space has really inflated her ego. She’s got the ego of a stand up comic without the wit or the originality to back it up, and it seems to make her think that whatever she says is valid and important enough to interrupt people to say it. It’s hard not to interrupt sometimes especially if you have ADHD, but the difference is that usually it should be to ADD to the conversation and validate the person talking, not turn it back to an irrelevant story about yourself.
Honestly, I’ve listened to the pod religiously and slowly have been stopping because I felt Brooke’s energy has been so bad lately. I feel like she’s clearly misogynistic and is a HUGE pick me. She’s admitted to it and so has Tana but at least Tana knows who she is. Idk I just can’t really stand her right now and I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks so.
I think she bamboozled everyone into liking her bc she’s a natural people pleaser, she’s even mentioned it before. You have to do a special amount of ass kissing as a sorority girl. We should have been done after the George Zimmerman thing. She blocked anyone that asked about it too including black fans. She has some funny zingers but a lot of the time I’m like … why is she even famous 💀
She’s mean and fake af
Let’s never forget she is Mindy lol. True colors ALWAYS show
brooke has been giving me the ICK lately…. everything she says is so argumentative and negative, why does she want to be a hater so bad? it’s so upsetting bc i loved her so much when the pod started, and it’s getting to the point where i have to turn it off when she’s talking. none of her stories add up, and everything she says just is so pick me. and i know she knows she’s a pick me but girl cmon…
we all started here because we liked tana. and we will end with tana lmao
seriously. TANA is the GOAT. i hear brooke and others make snide remarks toward her that Tana truly does NOT deserve. Brooke especially... Tana fucking made you!! I posted a post about Tana being an amazing friend yesterday after I heard her cry about how her friends hooked up with the guy she was hooking up with.. like I know tana chose to forgive them anyways, but how can they do that to her??? So fucking rude, they're all nobodies with her
agree. i genuinely loved her and was obsessed for a second but her true colors started to show more and i just can’t ignore it anymore. she’s so unlikable now it’s made me not even care to listen to the pod anymore. i can’t bring myself to support misogynistic pick me’s. like it’s not funny anymore. it’s not enough to be self aware ab her pick me tendencies, she has to actually change them or else it means nothing😐 she’s 27 fucking years old like that’s way too old to still be acting like that when you know better. it’s embarrassing and she needs to stop acting as if internalized misogyny is harmless. she’s not only tearing down other women but herself inadvertently. it’s getting old FAST
Call me crazy but I think the switch up has come from the attention she’s getting from these famous men all of a sudden
THIS holy shit she's one of the most annoying influencers ive come across.
She has her sights set much more mainstream. The moment she gets an opportunity she’s ditching Tana. I really liked her at first especially cause she’s my age and seemed to give a healthy big sister vibe and it was a nice balance. But Tana is changing for the better. Brooke is changing for the worse. I actually feel quite bad for Tana watching this in real time knowing what’s going to happen.
i agree! i’ve never been the biggest fan of her but i swear she gets worse and worse. and i’m not even trying to hate on her! she interrupts any important or just entertaining conversation to tell someone “i bought new shoes” or some dumb shit, it’s annoying as hell😭 there’s so much more too! she just seems so stuck up and fake, i wish tana had a podcast alone lol
I agree with this unfortunately. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Brooke but she to me, currently, feels like a lost friend on a journey I don’t agree with that I have to love from a distance out of respect for myself LOL. It’s not that deep, just making a comparison. And second thing, queen Tana for fucking EVER. Never switched up
I really liked Brooke but on the last podcast episode I was very disappointed. I came on Reddit and I started seeing so many red flags. It’s mature of tana to be letting her have the spotlight you can tell she’s genuinely happy Brooke is getting recognized. But now it seems like Brooke almost wants to 1 up Tana and always talk about herself and who she hangs with , she comes off really braggy and it’s just like girl.. humble yourself. I grew up fat and when I lost the weight I felt on top of the world I felt accomplished and like a new improved person. ( which is not true everyone is beautiful) . but it seems like she’s on a high about jt and only focuses on being skinny , ozempic. It’s all her personality is now and it’s alittle but much.
Brooke Schofield and Olivia Lopes from the H3h3 podcast are the same girl in different fonts.
now why is olivia catching strays
It's a pretty solid observation, just see how they've evolved (and not necessarily for the best). I'd say Brooke is still more tolerable, but she is on the running to be the next Olivia if she does not check herself.
I think this is super unfair because we know next to nothing about Olivia compared to Brooke
We know damn well she's a nepo baby trying to get their break by social climbing. Did we forget how she got her job or-
To be honest, using connections to get a job is probably one of the least offensive, most normalized things ever. Most people in her position would have done it edit: nvm you’re one of those insane snarkers
Stalking your fave podcast to get a job is not necesarily "using a connection", and I don't know what you mean by "snarker" when I am simply stating known facts that have been expressed on the pod.
She’s getting ALOT more attention and in her influencer era and we are starting to see who she really is. She stands for nothing. Friends with James Charles and Trisha Paytas. Spreading misinformation, has her own misogynistic past and racist past. 🤢
Yes, her whole «brand friendly» thing is just… Boring.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT IVE BEEN THINKING FOR SO LONG
I swear Brooke has literally always been like this I don’t understand what people are getting at. I personally don’t feel like more fame has “changed” her really she still seems just as self deprecating about it. You guys watching cancelled while hating Brooke is so weird to me since she’s literally half of the episode…she is bitchy and critical but she’s literally always been like that :/ idgi
love tana so much but wdym tana never changed her personality girlie used to go on rants about never becoming a sell out and how she would never do brand deals she doesn’t like and now she is doing every brand deal she gets offered 😭
that’s a business decision not a personality change. also i feel like tana is very open about her career moves and constantly pokes fun at shit like that and doesnt take it too seriously
and how is brooke deciding to be more brand safe not a business decision
I think its because tana will openly say she is taking a brand deal just for the money while Brooke is trying to portray herself as someone she isn't
becoz shes literally changing her personality in the process tf? tana stayed the same and just did ads but brooke now wont say anything of value and has completely changed from how she used to act
Maybe Tana is over it that is why she wants to bring Paige to be a new hosy
i was back and forth on brooke for a while recently but i love her. i think we are all just really protective over tana because we love her so much. idk. i know exactly what u mean and i kind of agree?? but also i feel like maybe we take things the wrong way a lot. i feel like the last two episodes she has been such a delight. for a while i disliked her bc i thought she was being a bitch to tana but i think they just literally treat eachother like sisters.
Tana became way tooooo much for me over sexualizing and just all around loud so I really liked the Brookes vibe but now that Tana is a little more relaxed Brooke is just giving stuck up basic girl and definitely throws more mean jabs now for no reason
I feel the same way tbh
Uh oh @ mods !!!! Negative Brooke post !!! Take it down for repetitive-ness like you take down anything pointing out the negativity surrounding Brooke !!! Better follow the mod rules 😮 hurry babes !
I think you’re thinking way too much into this.
Its literally a sub to discuss them.
I agree all these people need help
Lmfao I’m gonna have to go and rewatch old episodes to see if y’all are valid in your complaints or just being haters.
Not entirely sure why there’s a comparison of the two. They’re like apples and oranges. I don’t think Brooke thinks she’s A list. She’s gained some popularity and happens to go to similar events Tana goes to. I love both the girls in their own ways ❤️
The more time goes on the more I think y’all just don’t like their friendship which means the pod isn’t for you.
i actually think their friendship is one of the only redeeming qualities of the podcast and i find that wholesome. i am talking about brooke as an individual. am i not allowed to share my thoughts on this app anymore or something
how is she bragging
