Brooke Schofield, a popular influencer and co-host of the ‘Canceled’ podcast, has been in the spotlight recently due to her viral TikTok series about her ex-boyfriend Clinton Kane, which gained over 110 million views. In the series, she accused Kane of lying about various aspects of his life, including his mother’s death and his accent, and of cheating on her. While many fans initially supported Schofield, the resurfacing of her racist tweets from 2012 through 2016 has led to significant backlash. On August 3rd, Schofield issued an apology on TikTok for her past tweets, written when she was 15 to 18 years old, but the apology has not quelled the criticism, particularly concerning her comments about Trayvon Martin’s killing. The controversy has also affected ‘Boys Lie,’ a clothing brand Schofield collaborates with, prompting them to acknowledge the situation and assure fans they are working on a solution.
