I actually want more content like this for those of us who doesn’t use TikTok regularly and want to know all about the DRAMA and unhinged behaviors 😂

[@chelseareneeG]

I deleted TikTok months ago but love watching Angelikas vids about all the drama

[@malloryharding882]

Same here!

[@courtneylust]

same😭😭😭

[@perfectpieceoftrash1673]

same! i dont have tiktok because it would just be a major trap for my lil adhd brain, but i still wanna keep up with everything!

[@momi8604]

same! there's ALWAYS some unbelievably unhinged things going on there

[@Isabella_lovely]

Now if I got a email from an old guy saying he'll pay me to promote books with my "naughty bits", I don't know rather to laugh my ass off, call the cops, or both.

[@AngelikaOles]

Both! 😂😭

[@zoebrugg7594]

Both.

[@TaylorX3]

Aren't spicy books large consumed by a female or fem presenting audience? If I saw what they described in the email, I wouldn't think it was a spicy book for the female reader. Sounds like someone wants to beef up their "secure" folder.

[@IvyK44]

My boyfriend just said that this shouldn't be qualified as drama as these ladies just got harassed by a writer. I guess he is right straight up harassment

[@martiinnaaa]

Even if this wasn’t a totally creepy suggestion for book promo, tik tok wouldnt even allow a racy video where someone only uses a book to cover up their “naughty bits” 🤮 what a horrible excuse to get half naked videos of young women!!

[@illusiveaxeman9164]

Yeah! I don't think I saw anyone point that out. Videos can't even say sex properly, what makes anyone think nude women with minimal censoring is gonna be allowed? It just makes it so much more skeevy.

[@Lily_sims]

I still want you to cover the old booktok drama

[@AngelikaOles]

okay 💗

[@hrdillon1980]

​@@AngelikaOles Yes! I agree! Give us more! 📖📚

[@jolesters]

Agreed! I love seeing you talk about any subject!

[@Arikel]

@@AngelikaOles there's another entertaining booktok drama, #sungate, would love to see your take on it!

[@1125125161416id]

me too! specially if there are any updates. Last thing I heard about it was the apology that related the situation to the medication and mental health in general. I don’t now id there’s any follow up to that

[@chogiwoah]

i live for booktok drama ngl, it's so wild and comes from books of all things, like wow the human mind and its ability to create drama from anything is so fascinating

[@brisa33156]

Love how often your uploading and the fact that your staying your opinions without caring what others think

[@AngelikaOles]

🥰🩷🩷🩷

[@kristalgarcia9387]

AGREED. 2024 we are honest and say our opinions. Remember when manny MUA use to have something like this in his intro. Let’s get back to that LOL

[@laraminimi]

This is so creepy. Personally I‘m currently studying mediadesign and it includes PR to some extend. I‘m almost 99% sure no serious PR firm would ever do something like that. This is the worst PR ever. Also this would be more marketing and not actual PR, so this would have to be his marketing team and not the PR team

[@yoyohayli]

He probably personally sent these emails without discussing them with any collaborators first. Honestly, it's possible he was fishing for porn folder fodder, and was hoping to just tell all the girls, "Sorry, your video isn't good enough, so I won't pay you...but I totes promise I deleted it, okie? uwu" But then he got called out and is blaming people who work under him instead.

[@Kelseygraceaurelia]

As someone who works in PR and marketing, I just thought I’d clear things up for funsies: 1. It’s actually super common for PR to receive a piece of content and vet it before showing talent for final say. This way they can weed out offers/creative/etc. that they know talent will immediately veto or doesn’t fit the bill. But 90% of the time, the talent still has to approve it. So it doesn’t strike me weird that it would go to them for final approval. HOWEVER 2. I have NEVER, in my nearly ten years career, seen a PR team email claim to be talent or “log in to their email”. Perhaps I’ve seen an assistant or two do that but even they would ALWAYS run the wording by the talent. There’s no way they didn’t know. PR firm or not, that wouldn’t have gone out without their consent.

[@beth4107]

the original email just seemed like a way for the author to get some racy images and videos for his personal collection and he could even withhold the payment until they were the way he wanted them (or maybe not even pay at all). seriously gross

[@beth4107]

also we’ve worked with pr agencies at my job, they did have the ability to message influencers without us approving every message, but we had talked about what sort of thing we would offer as well as who to target and what content we could expect from them. so the pr excuse seems like bull to be unless they’re not a good pr agency (but he founded it!!!)

[@Rana-qe2di]

Yess please, we need the old booktok drama

[@strawberryskygirl44]

as someone who loves book tok... this is fucking embarrassing 😭

[@vlbarbara]

i've heard about the old booktok drama from other videos but would love to get your coverage on it! i really like your perspective on drama regardless of whether i know what happened or not

[@a.r.mproductions5616]

I’m always down for you discussing unhinged TikTok content. I quit using that cursed app 3 ish years ago. Hearing someone recap it with a sensible head is much more fun than being overwhelmed by the chaos. Thank you for sacrificing your sanity for our entertainment. ❤❤❤❤

[@savannahd420]

I actually would like to hear the old booktok drama.

[@WhiteRaven696]

I definitely would love to hear you cover the Cait Corrain drama lol

[@linaalsalman4993]

I literally vomited a bit in my mouth. This was such an ick I can't even believe it. I genually wonder where people get the courage especially in today's day in age where people expose everything online. Did he really think that no one would post the email? On a seperate note I would love to hear about the other author who put up fake reviews. I'm taking a slight break from like 5 days of straight studying and now I'm bingeing the content that I missed from you. It's lowkey great to have so many videos to watch.

[@dollkayla]

I love Angelikas videos, i always feel like im hanging out with a friend getting all the tea! ❤

[@AngelikaOles]

🩷🩷🩷

[@dollkayla]

​@@AngelikaOles I forgot to ask earlier but you should make a video on the Nicki and Megan drama ❤

[@wearegoingcrazy6758]

that’s unhinged how much money you wanna bet he wanted to use those videos for “personal” reasons 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

[@elisa-beary]

OMG you’d think this was an email for someone trying to work w/ an only fans model, NOT a book tok creator. WTF?! This is GROSS! Would they ask a guy to do this? Absolutely insane & there’s a million creative ways to do this.

[@itsLia13]

I love how AngelikaWorld is it’s own little reality where tea never gets cold. Almost like Plato’s The Cave but with TikTok drama ❣️ please dont ever stop I love living in the safe comfort of KZbin

[@muskanthakur1300]

I got the attention span of my cat so can't read books but gotta listen to the drama😭😭💖💖

[@RynJ97]

I've heard a good bit about the Review-Bomb Author, but I would love for you to cover it, too! I'm not up to date on the aftermath of what happened to her other than (I think) her agent and publisher dumped her. I enjoy hearing about the comings and goings in the book community, but I can never find all the information like you do. Thank you for your videos! I do love hearing how unhinged the world can be.

[@simmaslen5410]

I love booktok drama I want all the booktok drama

[@alisha-9889]

Horror is my favourite genre, but a lot of male authors are frustrating to read because their books are very male-gazey. This is sort of what this situation reminds me of

[@Vampress09]

Women can't do anything without creepy men shoehorning themselves into it. 😭😭

[@maxisaccharide]

I actually already heard about the drama with the author but honestly, I just like hearing your perspective on things.

[@elisa-beary]

Ya gotta love how the person never knows. They were never aware… of what someone was sending ON their behalf, from THEIR email to sell THEIR book, with THEIR reputation on the line. Come onnnn!!

[@Hank.Will.I.Ams.]

Your makeup is incredible in this video 😍

[@Lily_sims]

What’s with booktok these days😭

[@5515allie]

I’m not on tictok so I love when you cover the drama on there.

[@PlainJanePlants]

PLEASE always keep up UTD about Book Tok scandals! I'm not into tik tok but I love to read the popular books.

[@Dory_D]

Video suggestion😄 I really want your take on the whole Ariana Grande "Yes, And?" situation

[@glutenfreethc3400]

Is the author Onision? Lmfaoo. What a shit show. 😭

[@mariadaniele1104]

yes pls do the 1 star review thing i haven’t heard of it

[@christy972]

I know this happened awhile ago could you do a video about spill sesh doing her face reveal with the a controversial makeup guru?

[@mollyroberts3788]

I am currently studying PR rn, and this would NEVER fly! We have to be so careful of word choice. Things need to be approved by several people before they go out including the person whose NAME IS ON IT!

[@alexaburks]

the fact that the book isn't even a spicy book jfc

[@Eirwyn]

I've seen the fake review drama. It was nuts, but I'm ready to move on to other ones.

[@juliaherber2073]

Tbh if you did a whole booktok drama/tea/review series I would be obsessed 😍😍

[@sunowls]

I have seen a lot of Cait Corrain but I will be lying if that's enough content. I'd always consume that type of unhinged content, old or new

[@pinkyhc4130]

There ain't no drama like booktok drama cuz the booktok drama don't stop!

[@fallfromreality5864]

The fact he's an established author makes this even more mad. No way he doesn't have a publicist around him at least with whoever's publishing his stuff. This is rancid

[@yoyohayli]

How much do we want to bet that at least one of the girls he emailed is underaged? 😬 Not that he would have necessarily sent that purposefully to an underaged girl...but if he DID send it to one/some, then that would be insane that he didn't take steps to prevent that.

[@iskraiskra_9007]

if i hear the words "naughty bits" one more time i'll go insane

[@vcutler4735]

Its the fact that it could have easily been sent to a minor!! I am also so confused that like a very established author did this?? This is self publish e-book only tier stuff like what even

[@judit5173]

J.D. Barker is the name. I haven't read his stuff but it seems like he's been in the business for a while now.

[@jinnyweaver]

I don't hear about any drama unless it's on your channel so yes! Give us the videos please !

[@de5072]

Please cover the other book tok drama. I watched it unfold real time and seen other videos about it but i love hearing your opinions on things

[@andjela3527]

Someone mentioned this on Fable and I hadn't the slightest idea what it was about!

[@momomomo__]

and this is why I stick to my bookstagram lmao

[@niwka]

OH MY GOD yes this drama, what a crazy af situation especially for people that dont sit on booktok/tiktok!

[@Ladeedaa04]

Angelika girrrl, you are my only source of info for unhinged drama. Yes, I want to know about the second book tok drama.

[@essiethehippiechild]

Please talk about the other book drama too? 🙏🏻

[@batty-bites3185]

again with the age thing like.. i'm sure he wasn't vetting anyone, what would've happened if he sent this email to a minor and actually got something back... like straight to jail sir. it should be straight to jail anyway cos this is gross and creepy but my guy lol

[@ridleyg9398]

I'm just so confused what would he do with the videos aren't they against tiktok TOS?? Unless he was planning on using them elsewere? weird asf to come into a female dominated space and do that tbh I hope he sees some repercussions. Also would loooove if you could do some kind of update on what happened to that author that review bombed her fellow debut authors, because I'm so curious about what she's been up to after getting dropped by everyone

[@issiep327]

Love this video! I love book tok drama, it’s always unhinged. If you guys want more of this kind of content I highly recommend reads with Rachel she does deep dives into book community drama.

[@talarkevorkian]

When dealing with business things you really should not say anything you wouldn’t be comfortable saying “your honor” after. Like just imagine “yeah I told her to cover up her naughty bits with just a book and send it to me…. Your honor” it just doesn’t work.

[@MultifandomFangirl97]

Ive never heard about that other drama! I'll watch anything you make!

[@amigadecachorros]

I’m 40 Years old. This channel is how I stay young and know anything

[@joyce411]

He just did it when he was working for the PR firm. 😂

[@RabekahRandoms]

Wtf! Who gives their personal email to a PR firm that your working with for one campaign…I don’t believe him

[@yagothghoulfriend]

We need you to cover the bs of Cait PLEASE

[@LeOpinionatedOne]

Saw there was new booktok drama on tiktok… so naturally I went to KZbin for the tea 😂😂😂

[@katjune]

The email saying "naughty bits" and suggesting they send the content to the author is insane, but why didn't he reach out to OF creators instead?!

[@anerdnamedalex8527]

I would LOVE to hear your review bombing author thoughts because it’s SO much!

[@BlogManiac64]

also pr firms would never send something out without the clients approval wtf

[@vykcryptid]

"it was a PR person" is the new "I was hacked"

[@alexaburks]

ngl, seeing the picture of the author in question and like ... why am I not suprised that dude looks like that

[@sharihazlett3774]

Would love more about Tik Tok dramas. I don't go on there because it seems very toxic

[@monicathaomy6683]

It’s giving Dr Kenny Smiles…

[@theresistance0012]

See this is why when in my literature class, someone brought up booktok as a serious discussion point, I immediately tuned out. Cannot take that class seriously anymore

[@TabarakKamil11]

Off topic but i love ur lamp 😍

[@AngelikaOles]

thank you! 🩷

[@Lana-sc9zk]

just to say thank you for your uploads, my access course has gotten proper intense recently and i always love to wind down to one of your videos at the end of the day, you’re my source for online and tiktok drama!! i deleted tiktok last year but still like to keep up with the drama on yt!! much love to you and phoebe, i hope the move is going well!! 🤍

[@Iphone123boo]

omg booktok drama video lets GO

[@amberrosehelmy]

I always think tik tok can’t get any worse… then stories like this come out and I’m truly dumbfounded

[@tessa6426]

Please talk about the dramas you’re one of my only drama/internet news sources lol

[@amandaterrio4823]

I was recommended a channel called Emma in the moment. She covers drama in the knitting community. It is wild. I highly recommend

[@sarasabotage986]

It givingggggg....Dr. Jekyll (the author) and Mr. Hyde (the pr firm aka THE AUTHOR) 😂😂

[@tanK7528]

Old book tok drama please ! I’d only listen to book tok drama from you so I might as well take it all in x

[@ToriTallks]

i’m on booktok but never heard of this..

[@jenjenroxmysox]

More booktok drama please!!!!

[@anniemoore8599]

funny how i don't have a tiktok account but am pretty much aware of what is going on in there since angelika is talking about them,,, seems like i just sit here and drink coffee with a bestie while she tells me a new gossip

[@alg94]

every girl or woman who got this request needs to ask the largest and hairiest man they know to film the Tik Toks and take the pictures for him instead of them

[@Rainbowofthefallen]

Just commenting for the algorithm 🤍🖤

[@rruysch]

It's giving Shane Dawson asking preteens to submit photos of their knees.

[@Garlic_bread_7012]

The Cait drama is so stupid. I would love for people to be more aware of her actions.

[@HobieInTheBox]

Hey Angelika, there is this creator called Belatown and her account got banned by Barbz bc Bela, like everyone else, made a video criticising Nicki Minaj

[@kaileyspurvey8467]

I don’t have tik tok but i like seeing the drama that comes out of it lol

[@ionaskualexander1255]

but imagine how embarrassing is having an unsuccessful OF account be like. U show what u got and everyone is like naaaaw

[@damagedpages676]

Bookish content creators are very underpaid and undervalued, so they never get the same numbers are pretty much any other influencer, regardless of how dodgy to not dodgy the person making the offer is 😅

[@voldemortsniece3019]

Did you see the author that said reviews should be a minimum of 3 stars because of the work that goes into writing a book? I know it’s not huge

[@vanessafrey3557]

33 seconds wow

[@starrynightfall00]

I listened to an interview with this author years ago, and he mentioned that he has poor judgment, as he is autistic. However, that lack of understanding of social norms lucked him into getting the publishing opportunities he had because he would just approach anyone without embarrassment. He mentioned that he once just visited Stephen King's home, simply because he saw it from the outside. He didn't even know Stephen King, and just figured that he's a fellow horror author. Thinking back on it later, he realized how lucky he was not kicked out on his a**. I'm paraphrasing from an interview I listened to years ago, so I probably got some information wrong. I have no idea if he did these things with predatory intent or not. Just saying, I'm not surprised that an autistic author of an older generation has ended up in an awkward situation such as this. I still think he should've been called out and told what he did was wrong, though because it really was creepy. I'd have chills if I received such an icky email from an author.

[@drnot442]

Oh my gosh, please cover the one-star-BookTok drama😮? What on earth….???

[@madisonm2167]

I definitely want to hear about the author that 1 ⭐️ bombed her competition

[@NoNameNomad....]

I don't have TicTok but i love your videos, plus as an avid reader book drama is right up my street. So yes, please Angelica give us all the BookTok drama. Ergh, this author reminds me of that disgusting, creepy dentist. Gross way to promote his book.

[@meccabellamy]

Please talk about that author that was writing false reviews

[@bleuumscarlett7977]

Who is he hoping to sell this book to? I personnally don't want to be sold a book like it's just another item to buy with marketing gimmicks. Sex sells, sure, but not to every demographics? I like reading spicy bl books sometimes, but i won't buy a book if it's this hypersexualised, no matter if it otherwise fits my reading taste.

[@tannie375]

Honestly, l kind of want a video about the 1 star fake review drama because I've watched other videos abt it and I could simply not understand them lol
