I am just… I’m overwhelmed by the amount of backlash.
And I don’t know what to do, he’s blocked me. He’s blocked me.
You’re feeding the damn beast that ruined Britney.
Is Trisha Paytas the most controversial creator in YouTube history?
Did she out her ex-boyfriend on the internet?
And what actually happened between her and James Charles?
Today, we’re taking a look at five of Trisha’s biggest controversies.
Outing her ex.
You guys, look. It’s my little Trishy, my little Trishy.
Back in 2016, Trisha posted a series of videos talking about her break-up with Sean van der Wilt.
Trisha claimed that Sean had been cheating on her,
after she reportedly received Snapchats showing Sean kissing another man.
He came in holding a guy’s hand and kissing him.
This led to Trisha telling her 4 million subscribers that Sean was gay.
People online weren’t happy with Trisha ‘outing’ Sean.
One Twitter user posted:
And Sean responded with a video of his own.
And now that this video showing I’m having a good time, I’m obviously drunk,
has completely ruined my life...
When I did nothing wrong and I did nothing to hurt anybody.
Cultural insensitivity.
In August of 2020,
Trisha posted a video of herself dressed up in an Egyptian-themed costume on TikTok.
In the video, she danced to the song ‘King Tut’ by Steve Martin.
Additionally, she captioned the video:
Not surprisingly, people online called Trisha out for the disrespectful video,
with one Twitter user posting:
The James and Charli drama.
Beef between these YouTubers started when James Charles made an appearance in one of Charli D’Amelio’s videos.
I wish, I wish I had, like, more time.
Because, imagine if I hit 100 mil
a year after hitting a mil?
Was the 95 not enough for you?
Fans started unfollowing Charli after she was labelled as ‘ungrateful’ due to her behaviour.
Trisha hit back with claims that James should be cancelled
because of his friendship with 16-year-old Charli.
James then responded with this TikTok.
I didn’t want to respond to this because I didn’t want to give Trisha the attention that she’s clearly craving, however
I’ve now been accused of being a child groomer, and this is not an accusation that I’m going to take lightly.
To insinuate that the relationship between Charli and I is anything other than just a friendship is absolutely disgusting.
Trisha then hit back with a TikTok of her own,
calling out James and Charli for apparently using the ‘N’ word.
I guess the ‘N’ word is only okay when James Charles says it.
Am I the only one that has to apologise for saying that disgusting word?
But the drama doesn’t end there.
Charli’s sister Dixie then posted a video dancing to Trisha singing the ‘N’ word,
which sparked even more controversy.
A Twitter user wrote:
Like, they get a free pass?
You want to call me out, make sure your closet is real clean of skeletons.
Just make sure of that.
Dixie apologised and deleted the TikTok,
and the feud between the creators looked like it might have settled down.
But it seems Trisha didn’t want to let things go,
as she continued tweeting and posting TikToks about the situation.
People get exhausted trying to figure me out.
And I just let them.
Marrying Brad Pitt.
In November of 2019, Trisha announced that she was getting married.
To who, you ask?
To her cardboard cutout of Brad Pitt, of course.
I never thought I’d find someone who wouldn’t leave me,
and who wouldn’t talk back to me and judge me for being crazy.
Like, this is real and this means a lot.
From the moment I got you in the mail, I knew that this was going to last forever.
Some people thought that this was Trisha’s way of shading Shane Dawson,
since her wedding was on the same day that Shane launched his Conspiracy Palette collab with Jeffree Star.
Others thought Trisha was going to get married to herself,
but no one could have predicted that her husband would be made of paper.
Shading David Dobrik.
Trisha called out fellow YouTuber David Dobrik by insinuating that he was a bad friend.
She jumped on a TikTok trend where people were sharing their traumas
to prove that nothing can hurt them anymore,
and her trauma was ‘being friends with David Dobrik.’
