Brittany Broski, Cody Ko and Tana Mongeau's drama

The drama surrounding content creators Brittany Broski, Tana Mongeau and Cody Ko became a major topic after Broski publicly addressed the allegations against her friend and collaborator, Cody Ko.

On 15 July, Brittany Broski, a popular content creator with over 7.5 million followers, posted a statement on her Instagram Story expressing her shock and disappointment.

I’m crushed to learn about the Cody allegations. If it’s proven to be true, then that’s extremely upsetting as a collaborator and longtime fan. I find all of this disturbing, inappropriate and just flat out disappointing.

Brittany Broski’s response quickly drew criticism from fans, mainly for the phrase "if it’s proven to be true." Many felt this language was dismissive, as the allegations had been public for weeks before Broski commented.

The timing of Broski’s statement also raised questions, as she took a long time to publicly address the situation after the allegations first surfaced. Fans were upset by the delay, especially given her close relationship with Ko.

Cody Ko has not made any public comments about the accusations, leaving the situation unresolved.

What happened between Cody Ko and Tana Mongeau?

On 30 May 2024, during a live recording on an episode of her podcast, Cancelled, Tana Mongeau revealed that she was romantically involved with fellow YouTuber Cody Ko in 2015, when she was 17 and he was 25.

The incident reportedly took place in Florida, where the age of consent is 18, making the alleged encounter potentially illegal under state law.

Mongeau expanded on the allegation during the 21 June 2024 episode of Cancelled, stating:

At every other show we were saying the craziest s--t about people and it wasn't being brought to light ... However I understand that this isn't just some crazy tea, it was a crime. I’ve tried to talk about this a million times and I feel like I never have the right words but it’s everywhere, all over the internet.

Tana said that she felt taken advantage of and commented on the negative reactions she received online. The internet personality also said that because Cody Ko is so popular, people did not question him or take the situation seriously.

I know for a fact, if you swapped out Cody Ko with someone that people didn’t like that much? I would be receiving so much more sympathy versus the amount of people in this industry who want to protect him.

D’Angelo Wallace's view on the allegations

The allegations gained wider attention in July 2024 when YouTuber D'Angelo Wallace released a video urging viewers to take Mongeau's claims seriously.

During an interview with Time, D’Angelo Wallace spoke out about why he made a video addressing the situation and the reactions it received. He felt it was unfortunate that his voice was needed to bring attention to such serious claims, stating:

I am privileged enough to be listened to, but that doesn’t mean it should take a D’Angelo Wallace video before someone's allegations of really heinous things are taken seriously,
