The END of Cody Ko...(he's in trouble)

The Story about Cody Ko and Tana Mongeau is finally getting the attention it deserves after D'Angelo Wallace posted a video that's since gone viral on what happened between them...

[@h.g.warrender5529]

Honestly, big props to D’Angelo for his integrity picking up this story when so few commentary channels would. Just because Tana is “problematic” doesn’t mean she deserves to be ignored; it’s always believe survivors until proven otherwise.

[@sapphosgirlfriend]

Absolutely! I really appreciate how D’Angelo broke the silence amongst big channels 💗 His straightforward, solemn delivery was so needed

[@annakatie7347]

It's disgusting how many people think it's not a big deal because Tana's 'such a wh*re'. If she portrayed herself on the platform as some pure little nun, the reaction would be MUCH more negative. So sad.

[@bobisu3111]

Yep. When D'Angelo makes a video directed at you, it's time to wake up.

[@kayleedesroches6318]

I agree, however believe all survivors until proven otherwise is a problematic way of thinking. Yes believe victims. But only if there’s a valid reason to suspect. We shouldn’t all blindly believe everything that’s accusatory. It just happens there video evidence, and collaborative statements backing up her story. Edit y’all: the justice system is innocent till proven guilty.

Brittany didn’t make a video about it but her response was equally reprimanding. Of course it’s easier to see where D’Angelo is coming from because he produced a video clearly laying out his thoughts and observations but from Brittany’s response it sounded like she was replying to the accusations in real time.

[@rewdskwid]

​@@bobobee9206she'll do and say anything that preserves her "unproblematic" reputation. She fought for her life during the palestine/isreal situation because she couldnt live by her own words of "influencers should use their platforms for awareness" by staying silent and backtracking to say "I'm just an influencer, it shouldnt matter what I think", she just says whatever makes her sound socially aware. Not to mention the way she foams at the mouth and lowkey objectifies men in the industry with the way she speaks about them and goes feral. Its unsettling when you imagine a dude alone on a podcast speaking so sexually about famous women. She's got her own issues and I really get the vibe she thought Sarah/VCG was holding her career back and switched up.

[@ZestyZig]

@findingwig1211 Brittany Broski is legally needed to say that, since these ARE accusations (I believe Cody DID do all this stuff) she is mandated by law to use wording such as: "if proven", or "if true". If for some strange reason, these accusations do turn out to be false, she could be under some legal issues for technically spreading misinformation. However, this is a low hanging fruit ideology since this situation will most likely not go to court, and I think her response more has to do with her discomfort with someone she was close to being a weirdo. Sometimes you do not want to believe your hero was doing shady stuff right behind everyone's back. I believe just through her character that's she simply having a hard time, and needs a minute to understand that her childhood figure was a predator and she (without knowing) enabled his career with her teen-based audience.

Since you’re in the law community, you should understand how hard it is for victims to prove that rape happened at all… let alone a decade later. But this isn’t a court of law, this is the real world, so I believe victims when they come forward with their story. You should also know 98% of rapists will never be convicted.

Although Brittany's energy can be seen as protective of a friend under some heavy allegations.. please, please, PLEASE remember the law! If you live in the states, under protective law she is ordered to use phrases like "if true" or "if proven". I personally believe Cody IS a predator and what Tana said was 100% true, but remember that these ARE accusations. If for some reason these accusations turn out to be false, Brittany can be under some heavy legal issues for spreading misinformation. She could face up to weeks in jail, heavily fined, or forced service hours. Let's also remember Brittany is human. This is probably a lot for her right now, I mean just imagine your childhood idol is a super creep! If you're interested in the legality side of this (since there is one) check out 'defamation laws' by Cornell Law school. The tort of defamation includes both libel (written statements) and slander (spoken statements), so Brittany could be held under Libel defamation if Cody ever felt like bringing her to court over ruining his public image to her grand audience.

“ If it’s proven to be true“ Brittney gurllllll WHAT is your problem with Tana? 😵‍💫

[@ZestyZig]

Hey @alexandriaandersova6816 ! Well, Brittany has no problems with Tana in this context! You simply were misinformed about the legality of this (which is totally fine! ) You see legally she is mandated to use wording like: "if proven" or "if true"! There is something called defamation laws, these are very serious laws, that are treated very seriously! Legally, she cannot claim Tana's accusations as truth. Since they are accusations, they are simply not proven yet! So if Brittany didn't use this very clear wording, she could be held liable for defamation. From a legal standpoint, Brittany did everything right. She supported Tana if these accusations are true, she said her opinion on the matter, and she left. It's not her job to verify things, I mean imagine if your friend turned out to be a pedophile! I personally would never want to talk to him ever again.

[@YFL.111]

Its insane that someone cannot say they need proof before hating one of their best friends for something they dont even know if its true or not.

[@Tiredbutmighty]

I love watching all the big channels suddenly scramble to cover this the moment D'Angelo put everyone on blast for staying silent. Im aware some people didnt know thanks to Cody trying to cover shit up, but that isnt the case for everyone

[@calliope.valerie]

wow! 😐 brittany broski didn’t wanna speak up? who ever could’ve seen that coming!? 😐

[@ZestyZig]

Hey @calliope.valerie ! I hope your day is wonderful, but I would like to educate you on the legality of Brittany's response! However sad it may feel, legally these are still accusations. They have not been proven to be true or false, even with all the evidence! From a legal standpoint, she sadly cannot do much. There is something called defamation, which is a very serious crime. Legally, Brittany Broski cannot take these accusations as truths, but she can still feel it (like all the rest of us!). Even if her message was short, she did everything right. She supported the victim if these accusations are true, said her personal statement, and then left. Brittany simply left it to those more informed and more educated on the matter. Instead of trying to dog on her for her lack of words, let's look at her actions. She posted a message of support for Tana, she deleted the videos they shared, and she cut him off.

[@SmittenKitten.]

Some people are saying that 17 is so close to 18, so what's the big deal? Well, 17 is just as close to 16, so you could use that same argument to suggest she was even younger. So don't use either argument here. You just stick to the facts.

[@shubashkamta1509]

Hey, you know what. I always thought it was strange that drinking age in Canada is 19, in America its 21, but you can do adult work at 18. Does not make sense!

[@CeCe-xv1fr]

Oh Cody this is BADDD. He's on camera talking about her age, then if what gabby said is true and she did that for tana to protect her, he can't even make any excuses. I know tana has always been dubbed as the wild child of youtube but she was a child, she legally can't consent. For once I actually feel awful for tana. She's been in situations she should have never been in because adults should have never crossed boundaries.

[@tay8535]

Brittany has completely lost touch and turned into a brainless LA influencer. She used to be so down to earth and real and now she’ll just say and do whatever gets her more exposure.

[@ZestyZig]

Hey @tay8535 ! Well you may think her behavior is due to her ' brainless LA influencer' mindset, you are failing to remember one huge things.... THE LAW!! There is something called defamation, she cannot legally hold these accusations are facts. So instead of calling others brainless over your lack of education on the law, maybe do some research!

[@Claire-lu8hf]

It really bothers me how commentary/drama channels weren’t talking about this until after D’Angelo’s video. Adam McIntyre was the only person I saw post a video on the situation back in June when it first came out.

Veeeery few women influencers that are NOT openly feminists are girl's girls. Everything is so performative for them, I'd rather have them stay in their vapid shallow lane, really.

[@ZestyZig]

Hey @L33ric! As of now Brittany has spoken about it to the BEST OF HER LEGAL ABILITIES! Posting something online especially in the accusation phase of a public call-out is very very very tricky. There is something called defamation laws, and they are no joke! I've posted a few reply comments to similar comments saying the same exact thing. LEGALLY, she cannot claim this as truth. LEGALLY, she must use words like: 'If proven" or "if true". Let's also remember Brittany is human too. Not every emotion, wether its happy or sad, needs to be shared online. Whilst you may think this behavior is 'pick me', just know this is the best way to respond to such heavy allegations. Show support for the alleged victim, make your statement on your feelings IF TRUE, and leave. This is not Brittany's issue, she is not accused of being a pedophile, she is cutting ties, and she's leaving this for those who are ACTUALLY educated and well-informed on this matter to take the lead. I hope this message helps!

[@Savpost]

“If proven to be true” come on now Brittany.

[@ZestyZig]

Hey @Savpost ! Legally she has to say those phrases! Remember defamation laws exist, and are nasty! These are accusations, and cannot be taken as truths. She gave her support for the alleged victim, told her own opinions, deleted all videos with the accused, and left. If found guilty of defamation it could include: jail time, heavy fines, or public service.

[@Savpost]

Hey @chiaaaa2715 ! I was also relieved when Brittany said something, and I was even more relieved when I found out she did it safely! Phrases like "if true" are important. Defamation laws exist, and are crazy dangerous to the average person. She legally cannot take these accusations as facts, since they ARE accusations! She gave support for the victim if true, said a personal piece, deleted the videos, and then left. She did everything right!

I'm 20 with a 24yo boyfriend, really nothing weird about it and we have a far more stable relationship than friends in same age relationships that break up and make up every other week. He didn't go to college until he was 21, our life stage, interests, friends, align, age really isn't something noticeable day to day except for occasionally teasing him for missing references. Yeah he's about to graduate but it's very common for couples to have one partner in school and one working (medical school, nursing, people returning for second degrees etc). You make it work, even couples of the exact same age aren't always in the same stage. And if it doesn't work out--that's also fine-- it doesn't automatically make that relationship "toxic" or "creepy" in retrospect. Just my two cents, its hard reading so many comments saying anyone 25 dating anyone a few years or more younger is automatically a bad person
