The Truth About Brooke Schofield

[@daddyissues]

Hey guys! To those who don't know me or my podcast that is huge and is normally audio only, I would like to give my sincere apology if I came off not to your liking.Brooke and I are friends and it's unfortunate if my sarcasm or sincerity did not shine through in this interview. I am also taking these comments as a way to sharpen my interview skills especially when it comes to interviewing friends, since it seems that I came off less professional or even unlikable to some of you so again, I want to thank you guys, including the mean comments for the feedback so I can be better for next time! I will try to be more self aware with how I come off to the outside, thank you.

[@xygenzy]

But where’s the sarcasm

[@sophiabrace2516]

I have never seen ur podcast and I don't think u came off that way. I think people are used to hearing self deprecating humor like Brooke does on her podcast and I think u asked rlly good questions just they were maybe new and a little uncomfortable for Brooke. I think u are just a confident person and were giving genuine advice and ppl interpreted it in a different way than u meant it.

[@daddyissues]

Ah understood. I am also friends with her and am I think 8 years older than her so I would say I speak how someone in their 30’s would speak? Thank you for the sweet reply!! 🤍

[@ty.lie24]

I read that you said interviewing friends and videoing podcasts is new to you and I think being on others podcasts is new to Brooke! I think you both did an amazing job and being able to try new things w friends is special, it’s okay to feel awkward or it get a negative reaction. Life goes on, good on both of you for trying new things

[@jennifercate8996]

The type of person you are shines through in this comment. So many people would get defensive and react accordingly. Instead, you saw that a portion of your audience thought you were treating your friend in a flippant or unkind way. You took the criticism and used it constructively and are also taking notes to better your hosting skills to be the best host you can be. Again, this really speaks volumes about your integrity, kindness and your overall self. Kudos to you, Violet!

[@lydialovexo]

Violet ily but the comment about “thank god I only kissed him” would’ve made me cry if I was Brooke

[@emilykuchar4949]

ik i was watching and i had no problems until that 😭 like yeah thank god you didn’t but i did

[@jordynbateman8441]

SAME like 😵‍💫

[@ty-zz9ic]

Yeah like it was rude to Brooke and also it was very a non-feminist and lack of self respect thing to say. Do you think any dude would be like “Yeah I’m glad I only kissed that girl.”

[@vanessa8nine10]

I’m over the headline associated with Brooke being Matt rife! Cmon.. she’s much more than that headline

[@draydray96]

I feel the same way about Brooke. But I have a feeling it was so people would click on it to watch

[@xygenzy]

I feel like this whole episode is the host sizing up Brooke . She speaks with authority but Brooke comes across as much more in tune with herself , self aware etc.

[@hayley1457]

i am so glad you said this because i was thinking the same thing. just something off??

[@kranae]

Oooo the only part I don’t like so far was when they’re talking about Matt, and Brooke says I give him 5 stars for leaving me in the dust and the host says “oh so he left you..” and then proceeds to tell her she’s the one who left him.. idk that would make me feel some type of way lol

[@marleelakinshtine9395]

lmao at 3:56 Brooke talking bout college & then host just makes it bout her ‘so yeah I used to be an accountant that’s y I got 2 degrees’ w no transtion😂

[@maddygrimes1000]

Felt like the host kept throwing small digs/superiority statements…

[@nameless5002]

Oh good, I thought it was just me getting that vibe! Lol

[@Luna64637]

And who even is she?? Jealousy is so real and it’s embarrassing for her lol

[@kmara48]

I think she was great, she actually asked real questions instead of just “so what happened w Matt”

[@kayashley4428]

@@nameless5002wait can you give an example? Because I didn’t get that vibe at all

[@daddyissues]

Oh weird! We’re good friends so maybe my sarcasm didn’t show through properly???

[@ChelseaSeachel]

Brooke has been popping up everywhere lately and I’m allllllll for it 💛💛💛

[@elizabethgregory]

Meeeee too!! She deserves alllll of it ❤

[@Katlee6021]

Honestly as someone who speaks another language and has another cultural background other than the American one I think it could be a reason why it’s might feel off in regards to the host but anyway I think it’s good that Brooke puts herself in different scenarios that causes her to be able to communicate with different kinds of cultures/walks of life/ and views. I think Brooke did well and I think the host did well picking Brooke too. ✌️

[@alexcobb8766]

Exactly. This is what I just commented as well. My step mom is Spanish but when she speaks English to me she comes across very harsh and direct and I sort of picked up on that with Violet as well. Glad someone else understands!

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

They sound fine. I don’t know what everyone is talking about

[@Jezza586]

“Thank the lord all we ever did was kiss.” Brooke: 👀

[@marianneserret3235]

HAHAHAAAAH felt

[@Ang_848]

Such an unnecessary statement from her

[@sarikatimmi]

but he talked about her being an “outie” or whatever

[@andreaaceves7805]

Also almost insulting her for doing more than kissing

[@safiy98]

Yea like how was Brooke supposed to know he was going to shame her vagina on a podcast and lie to multiple women.

[@georgiamacdonald-danvers4597]

Reminder that people with ADHD and similar disabilities/disorders often communicate with others by relating to themselves and finding shared experiences. It’s not about her not wanting to listen to Brooke, it’s about sharing that she understands what Brooke is saying . Where a lot of the commenters are seeing the host as “annoying” or making everything about herself, I see a neurodivergent person having a conversation in the way many of us do. She still focused the interview around Brooke, she was just relating to her and seeking to connect with her.

[@kimskrackin]

THIS. brooke has even said in another podcast that she does this too and comes off as thinking of herself when shes just trying to relate

[@LawnOrnament]

@@kimskrackinmy husband and i both do it, i think it is how we got so close so fast!

[@LauraVernon-hz7cr]

I’ve wanted to hear brook talk about her bpd in this detail for so long, this has helped me. Currently going through a bad time and I’m now just going to remind myself that I won’t feel like this for ever. Best podcast I’ve watched in a while!

[@Onice41]

I think many people who speak one language and dont spend a lot of time in other countries or with people from other cultures dont understand thats all thats going on here. Carrying yourself so well in something other than your first language isnt an easy task. You came off as energetic, curious, and intelligent. Loved it! ❤️

[@chelseadonae8601]

Only here for Brooke

[@brittanymlanders]

I feel like Brooke was being so open and vulnerable and divulging things I’ve never heard her speak about on the Cancelled Podcast… and Violet did not make it a safe, non-judgmental space. Weird. Dislike. But also I really enjoyed her deep discussion about the tough topics; I’ve been through similar things in childhood and in choosing toxic partners, and it was really refreshing to hear her speak on relatable topics.

[@calistakolozsvari]

I’m 10 minutes in and I love Brooke and this is my first time watching this host, and I don’t see what everyone means in the comments 😅 she doesn’t seem condescending to me, I think they’re just sharing experiences. I really don’t think she meant any harm in anything she said to Brooke. Just in the first 10 minutes she’s genuinely complimented Brooke for who she is as a person, idk if I’m not observing their interaction correctly or what, but I don’t see the issue 😂 I also saw a few people mention that the host’s first language isn’t English, so I do think that could be a factor in the way she comes off, not that I see anything wrong with how she comes off in the first place 😂

[@ccinthecityy]

THIS!!!!

[@alexahokai7821]

I loved seeing Brooke talk so candidly and the conversations were so genuine and raw. I don’t understand the criticisms, I found it super clear that you guys are friends and that you’re not being rude to her. You asked great questions and Brooke didn’t seem to be offended and your listening skills are so amazing

[@daddyissues]

Omg thank you! ❤

[@toripurvis8399]

I was expecting to come to the comes and see a bunch of love for them sharing vulnerable moments in their lives. I was shocked to see all of the negative comments about the host. I thought she created a comfortable environment for Brooke to share everything she wanted to. The hosts asked unique questions that really let us learn more about Brooke. Idk personally I just didn’t get the vibe everyone else did I guess.

[@chasecollier412]

i feel like violet talked a bit too much about herself when brooke was the guest on the podcast.. it could def just be me though, it seemed like she kept turning the convo back to her

[@daddyissues]

I appreciate the feedback!! I try to not too that! I must have felt too comfortable with Brooke who’s a friend and maybe overdid it! Thank you xxxx

[@daddyissues]

Do******

[@kelsorose9236]

Um can this win some type of award seriously ??? It’s so … taboo and needed. Thank you so much Brooke for trusting us with your story. ❤❤❤

[@StellaMortua]

Violet is amazing. I’ve been following and feeling seen in her humor for half a decade at least. Brooke made total sense as a guest. Negativity is pointless. Amazing women ❤

[@oliverrose3031]

brooke schofield you are an angel, thank you for talking about bpd in depth. it means more than i could ever explain. you give me so much hope

[@libra_venus]

Why is the host talking about herself so much….

[@kayashley4428]

I think she was just trying to relate, I didn’t see anything she was doing as intentionally malicious or attempting to make it about herself.

[@daddyissues]

Oh mannnnn. Thanks for catching that!

[@chloe96244]

I find I do that In order to relate to people…. (I have adhd) but I don’t take offence to it when other people do it because I get why they do it… I really don’t see what other people are seeing?

[@ekellymommi]

Hearing Brooke talk about her parents and them being gone for days and think it was “normal” is very relatable to me. My father is and was a drug addict and he would go missing for days at a time and I felt sad but mostly relieved bc when he was home he was abusive. I also have adhd and anxiety and I know it’s definitely rooted in how I grew up and what all I went through especially as a child. Seeing a parent on drugs and in a dangerous lifestyle can cause you to be scared/have anxiety as a child and while you’re developing it makes sense why we are adults still in fear… that’s part of our make up.

[@sareatonin]

Brooke is a national treasure. I myself have struggled with anxiety, depression, and adhd for years and hearing her stories really resonated.

[@katiekarkellie03]

Wow this made me relate to Brooke so much more her stories with her parent being addicted really hit. I hope more influencers share things like this

[@kelsorose9236]

I’m so 🥹💞over this whole episode. I’m 32 and just so happy this conversation can happen today. Thanks girlies ❤

[@LaurenCeline444]

“Thank you for having me I loved it “ “Ok. Bye guys!” 🤣

[@daddyissues]

Thank you for saying that!!

[@elizabethgregory]

My first time here as well ❤

[@cadensaunders1037]

these comments are so confusing to me. I've never watched your podcast before but you seem really genuine and kind!! the questions were very thoughtful

[@coralee1577]

I had the same thing, I was diagnosed with bi polar & the medication made me SO sick, like my body was rejecting it. So I just stopped taking it obviously, and later on when I found an amazing doctor he was able to really parce through everything and it was ADHD. Now I'm on proper medication and I honestly have never felt more emotionally stable and clear headed. Immediately I knew the medication was right and it helped more than I can even express. It's crazy how close some of these mental illness symptoms are & can be really confusing.

[@MollyFluter]

You are a great host! This is my first time watching your podcast and you asked such good questions 🎉

[@rhiana7166]

I watched the whole thing! First time listening. Love Brooke. Great questions!

“Hahaha stop, but thank you” she is so adorable! Both these ladies are fabulous!!

[@Taziahmoody1111]

Brooke stan here

[@St99748]

I really enjoyed this. It seemed like a real conversation and discussed things that I did not know about previously regarding Brooke and her upbringing.

[@ChoosingDana11]

I don't get why everyone is hating? I love the fact that the host also talks about herself because I want to hear a conversation between two people. Ofcourse Brooke isn't going to ask her questions so she talks about herself. It's interesting to know about both people. The jabs I can maybe see, but honestly it's not that serious people!!!

[@kayashley4428]

THANK YOU!! I felt like i was the only one who wasn’t seeing this malicious mean girl everyone else is describing? I enjoyed the conversation and I doubt Brooke thought anything negative about this interview.

[@TiRedPoke]

I agree ?? I thought it went really smoothly and both of them flowed well together.!

[@kritchx]

I agree!! Even when the host did talk about herself she always circled the focus back to brooke. It’s a conversation and I think she was just trying to relate to brooke. People seem to forget there’s different styles of podcasting

[@jennifercate8996]

Yasss! Brooke mentioned being on here on Jeff’s pod, and I’m so glad I’m watching it right now !

[@13bluebunny]

I clicked immediately when I saw this episode bc I am a Brookie cookie (s/o Oscar from Just Trish💗) but I really enjoyed this and liked the podcast host as well! From both ends lots of great raw stories and insight into battling mental health issues that we all deal with!

[@marianneserret3235]

I wish the host wouldn’t cut Brooke off when she is talking about BPD.

[@zelladaze]

This was amazing. Violet, you asked such great questions. You are both so eloquent, and emotionally and intelligent. Thank you both for sharing and having such a beautiful and important conversation ♥️

[@alyssat7244]

i loved the host 😭 she asked great questions & i thought it was clear Brooke was comfy and liked the convo- why is everyone hating so much

[@elexis3728]

Glancing over the comments I feel like a pretty good majority of people who are listening might be a first time listener of this podcast. Brooke is such a girls girl and seems to be a genuinely nice person so I can see how her followers might not get the best vibe here but I truly don’t think Violet was trying to be shady or anything like that. I think the way she was raised plays a role in why she might not immediately come off as warm and cozy. Plus the country she was raised in might also have a little something to do with it and I don’t even mean that in a negative way.

[@marianneserret3235]

I somewhat agree. Brooke is more cozy vibes. perhaps the host wasn’t being purposeful but she didn’t have to laugh when Brooke mentioned her parents or say “I am not sorry for you I am just expressing” or whatever the fuck. She cut B off during mental health convos. I know this could be ADHD but still rubbed me the wrong way. The whole thank god “I only kissed matt rife” thing.

[@elexis3728]

@@marianneserret3235 I completely get what you are saying! The part about Matt I felt like if it were a tv show we would have heard “insert crickets”. I think Brooke’s new management team is how we are seeing her on other podcasts more often and I just hope she is enjoying it as much as possible. She deserves some positivity personally and professionally. I’m rooting for her!

[@kayashley4428]

[@mackrobinson8853]

Ohhh wow that’s crazy I just got so emo at the end when she brought up how now we’re getting to the age that our parents were when they had us. Realizing my mom had me when she was 23 the same age I am now. She’s been gone since 2019 but I’m newly engaged, definitely not ready for a baby right now. But I wish she was here to talk to about that, i can ask my dad but it’s not the same. I feel like she really understood my bpd even when it felt like no one understood me. I wish I could tell her how great she was with me through my roughest times, even when she was sick. She always let me be a teenager still and that I’m so grateful for, have been off meds for a while now and have done lots of cbd and grief therapy. Anyone else out there maybe feeling a bit emo after this podcast that’s okay, sometimes we have big feelings. Let it out and don’t let it stop you from smiling later 🤗❤️

[@jayzt705]

​@@daddyissuesas for "superiority" people mention: the college degree thing was a bit awkward as it went directly against what Brooke was trying to say (I agree with you that college is important btw but it seemed like you were cutting off her point), mentioning that you thankfully only kissed Matt Rife was really unnecessary given obviously Brooke has done more and was then shamed by him about it, the snort laugh when she said her parents are addicts and then immediately changing the subject and not bringing it up again until way later (glad u did though), stuff like that

[@alexcobb8766]

I haven’t watched her in some time I’m glad to see her again, she’s definitely improved and grown as a person which is beautiful to see but one thing that rubbed me the wrong way, is near the end she asked “so are there any questions that u think I should’ve asked?” It just made my anxiety freak out a second because It made me feel like Brooke was going to comment on the “undertone” for a second and start an argument. “Should’ve” is not the right word..never tell yourself you should have done something because that is negative. Idk. Also after that you kept telling Brooke she’s an amazing person “based on her upbringing” but she’s amazing human being regardless of that..I know what you meant but that was another undertone that was a little triggering. I hope you take this as constructive criticism with love, you did a great job it’s just some choice of words near the end that others may pick up on as negative meaning..maybe English is not your first language or raised in another language which might explain the “harsher” or “more direct” words that are chosen when you speak here and there..my step mom is similar when she English (she’s Spanish) but she’s learning and has explained that she’s working on not coming across so “harsh”. Love you Violet and I hope you read this as some insight coming from someone that is a viewer! ❤❤ 💜
