Poppy rose to mainstream internet fame around 2016 when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vdGiqRjTd34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"PewDiePie reacted to her videos (opens in a new tab)\">PewDiePie reacted to her videos<\/a> in a video of his own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The task of explaining what exactly Poppy is a grueling one. She\u2019s a character whose style was very innocent, kawaii and bubblegum pop until this year. Her videos feel hypnotic with their insanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything can happen, from 10 minutes of her literally only saying, \u201cI\u2019m Poppy\u201d to her interviewing her best friend, a mannequin. Viewers can begin to see that the videos have a creepy under layer to them. Things seem off; numbers keep appearing, things glitch, and Poppy begins to sound like she\u2019s crying for help. That\u2019s where the fun of being a fan of Poppy begins, being able to theorize what\u2019s happening, it\u2019s exhilarating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is real. Moriah Rose Pereira, the actress who plays Poppy, is claiming <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/titanicsinclair?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Titanic Sinclair (opens in a new tab)\">Titanic Sinclair<\/a> (Legal name: Corey Michael Mixter) has abused her, in a public statement made on Dec. 28, Poppy wrote, \u201cI was a person who suffered similar wrongdoings as one of his former partners brought to light,\u201d which, many have taken to be a direct comment on the 2018 Mars Argo lawsuit. Mars was Titanic\u2019s former creative partner and girlfriend who sued him based on abuse and sued Poppy for copyright infringement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news was sparked by Poppy unfollowing Titanic on all social media a few days before the public statement, as fans became quick to run wild with conspiracy theories. Titanic later did the same, unfollowing and deleting every photo of Poppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then on Dec. 7, 2019, Poppy removed the directing credits for Sinclair from many of her YouTube videos. Shortly after the deleting, rapper Ghostemane revealed that he and Poppy had begun a romantic relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/world\/2020\/01\/16\/new-year-same-fight-a-hong-kong-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">New Year, Same Fight: A Hong Kong Update<br><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/2019\/12\/05\/bangtan-sonyeondan-bts-%eb%b0%a9%ed%83%84%ec%86%8c%eb%85%84%eb%8b%a8-melon-music-awards-2019-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS) [\ubc29\ud0c4\uc18c\ub144\ub2e8] Melon Music Awards 2019 Review (opens in a new tab)\">Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS) [\ubc29\ud0c4\uc18c\ub144\ub2e8] Melon Music Awards 2019 Review<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/poppy\/status\/1211006950160269313\n<\/div><figcaption>This Dec. 28, 2019 tweet shows three screenshots of Poppy&#8217;s Instagram story explaining the situation.

This was a long time coming but this is a person whom I defended in the past because I thought he was misunderstood.

These are tactics that he used for years. This person lives in an illusion that he is a gift to this Earth. He weaved himself into a storyline, wanting the public to believe he was a puppeteer, which is so far from the truth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In light of recent events brought to my attention, he is already quick to jump in and use my former friends as his next experiment, repeating manipulative patterns he has for years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I was trapped in a mess that I needed to dig my way out of \u2013 and like I always do, I figured out a way to handle it.
