I think it's also borderline bullying and cowardly to post a video publically attacking someone and then immediately blocking them so they don't have a chance to respond.

An influencer being mad for influencing? what a weird time we live in

I don’t know why, but I’m baffled about Tay saying blue and green is an odd combo baffles me. Like how?!

Tay: Here's how to do it, but don't do it.

if tay was more business savy, she could have seen it not an hurtful thing or drama worthy, but an opportunity to collab with a similar designer - expand their reaches - rising tide lifts all boats

Imagine gatekeeping a DIY YOU publicly posted that’s insane behavior 😭

Influencer w/ sponsor: I didn't do anything wrong. After sponsor drops them: I'm sorry.😭

The craziest part of this to me is the fact that she got mad at another creator for USING AND PROMOTING HER PRODUCT! Like girl that’s free advertising! A lot of brands would pay good money to have an influencer of her size use their product in her house! Also like have you never heard of cross promotion? What is happening 😭💀

Of course her parents are rich, Tay has owned 2 houses in San Francisco, while being unemployed! Literally nobody can afford to live there even working 3 jobs, and she wants to claim poverty? Whyyyy? Being poor isn’t cool

Tay was definitely getting jealous. I hate it when creators are like "i dont wanna do a fake apology that i dont believe in" when her apology was pretty much by the book. "Hold me accountable, my actions are inexcusable, i learned so much blah blah blah" idk i can smell a fake apology when i hear it. She's just upset that she got hate for how insane she sounded.

I think Tay was being aggressive because shes an interior designer and she wanted to protect her brand. But isnt the point of being an interior designer with a distinctive style, having others WANT that same style? Also her apology sounds so empty, as if it's out of obligation rather than genuine regret.

I don’t understand. The other girl might clearly be using her as inspiration (she even said so), but she’s not doing the exact same thing. That’s like diy fair use 💀 that’s the point of diy. Plus she’s not the first one to make a damn mossy mirror or like anything else she did proven but other people she knew. Maybe the other girl should have just credited her for inspo but like it shouldn’t be that big of a deal jeez.

A) If an interior designer I liked the style of posted about how I was 'copying' her while she makes DIY videos and uses KNOWN COLOUR PALETTES, I would cry. I feel for the second girl; like if the first wanted credit for inspo, then saying that is FINE but thats literally not a requirement. B) I think this hobby drama is a breath of fresh air to whats been the current dramas of thenworld.

Yeah it took her sponcers dropping her and the place she sells her wallpaper stopping selling it, before she decided to apologise, so yeah fake, suprised she didnt pull out a custom made ukulele 😂

Can we talk about how calling someone out and then blocking them so they can’t see it is such a red flag 🚩 🚩 🚩

The secondhand embarrassment I feel for taybeebop or whatever is too much lmao glad people called her out

HOW did you forget Lashgate!? 🤣❤️

I literally thought someone made this up the first time I heard about this drama

Tay was acting as if she was an art prodigy and genius. Art (including interior design) is almost always a collaborative thing, even if it’s simply finding inspiration in someone else’s work. Nothing Tay ever did was new or unheard of and I think she just wants to be “different” and “not like the other girls” 🤷🏼‍♀️

With the rise of postmodernism it's no wonder that two people with similar aesthetics would have similar houses in that style. I'm really glad that the initial creator saw that she was wrong though.

Calling someone out for “copying” and blocking them so they cant see after having conversations with them in the past is so scummy. Sounds like she knew people love coming to the defense of whoever post their side of a situation first, wanted clout and wasn’t afraid of who she trampled to get it.

may i introduce you to the next tiktok drama: mlmgate content creator canadiankels has been making this series tracking data from mlm boss babes in her province. it’s all completely anonymous and publicly available information, and she removes anyone from her dataset that asks to no be included or blocks her on any social media. except now the boss babes are mad at being called out for being in literal pyramid schemes and have banded together and mass reported kels to the point where she can’t post anymore. it’s wild, i’d definitely suggest looking into it because the information kels is uncovering is super valuable and shows just how manipulative and vile these mlms are! she mustn’t be silenced 😤

i couldn't take the creator seriously when i first heard the drama the internet is truly bored 😭

The way my subconscious knew Angelika would cover this drama so I just scrolled passed everyone else covering it😭. Thank you for all your amazing work!

Me looking around my blue and green room that I have since 2015 thinking it was a normal color combination.

Bro these tik tokers gave us a tutorial for diy mountain out of a molehill MY GOD NONE OF THIS WAS THAT DEEP

DIY = do it yourself. So therefore, if I watch a DIY video and I feel like I could do said project on my own then I will. Will it look the exact same? No. Because we all have preferences on color and design. It is not copying if you are putting it on the internet for people to copy. LMAO!

I just love how Angelika always remained humble and appreciates what she's doing, reminding us that content creating is a complicated job but still privileged

I'm kinda tired of the ex friends coming out to expose their old friend when they are in trouble :D

Kaarin gives me people pleaser vibes. She blames herself for using inspiration from Tay's videos and thinks she's in the wrong. it doesn't help that comments were attacking her too. I'm sorry she had to go through that. She knows it's not wrong to take inspiration but still tries to find a reason to think it's her fault. I feel you girl.

I fully missed this drama until your video (same as with most drama haha) & I don’t know who Tay is but I’ve been following Karin for a while now & I am absolutely not having this 😂 The dinos compared to monsters was such a stretch and saying the green squiggle was copied is madness when Karin used to have a pink squiggle & (I think) a yellow one in her old apartment which were paired with a giant brush and crayon. The cereal bowls are how I found Karin and she has been doing them for sooooo long. I’m sure the mirror was meant to be a completely different design (an idea she saw on Pinterest WHICH SHE SAYS IN HER VIDEO) but it messed up which is why the moss / flowers were added. Im so glad Tay apologised because what a madness. How egotistical can you be to literally have a DIY channel and then be annoyed someone is doing your DIYs? Let Karin enjoy decorating her new home in peace please and thank you P.S loved the video as always 😘

Genuinely a great day when you get a notification that Angelica posts 🤭

Can someone tell her she’s not the first to have a moss covered mirror. These are the kids who grew up thinking they’re special lol she needs so much help.

This is so ridiculous and disappointing. I honestly love the style and design choices of Tay but... that's it, the aggressive replies to comments that did not agree of her choices/asked for more info were icky, this is so ridiculous is frustrating 💀 So sad I missed this petty drama (since I follow both creators but not in tiktok since I don't use the app).

Being "inspired by" is definitely different than fully copying everything. That being said, Tay makes content for people to copy since it's DIY so her reaction was completely unwarranted

I had no problem with the Taylor girl throughout the whole drama until she said she grew up in poverty and the other girl mentioned she had a beach house and went to private school. Like- I'm an immigrant and although I've never felt I've been in the poverty line, I damn well know other immigrants who have and that's just a disgusting lie

I think the issue arises from the fact they both are more or less considered "leaders," in their niche, with over a million followers, which means they see each other more as competition, rather than users/followers. A lot of stuff happens as the result of trends, undercurrent vibes, etc. So whether she did take inspiration from her or not, it is okay because it is DIY. It is not as if it were a paid-for tutorial with some unique elemental designs. Free DIY made for the purpose for people to copy and do it yourself is made for that exact purpose. I think also what played into it was how Tay presented it. Rather than say opening up a conversation, like "Hey I am not sure what to think about this, and it could be just me, but I am not sure why I am feeling the way I am," or something. What she is feeling is what many "leaders" have felt.

I said it on other videos from other commentary channels and I’ll say it again here. “I painted my room blue and green, this is an abnormal color combination.” No it isn’t. You’re not special. I painted my bedroom blue and green (almost those exact pastel shades) about two years ago now. Three walls are blue one is the green accent wall. I painted my room these colors because I was inspired by a room in a house from a short story I wrote in college for a class. I wrote that short story in the spring of 2021. Idk when this Tay girl painted her room, but if it was after the spring/summer of ‘21 I guess I did it first so- But seriously, you cannot lay claim to color combinations, I’m sorry.

Bless her. Tay telling everyone how to do something but getting upset about it when someone else does it.

Not her saying “I’m never this petty” then don’t be petty. What a child. Also did she seriously tell her you can’t do my DIY. Sweetie have you not looked up what DIY means. This is what you get for acting like a child and not realizing how it will affect your business l.

The design style is called MAXIMALISM - but also, tay was really rude to me in her comments on tiktok about a year ago for no reason so I believe this other creator

I'm living for the coverage on the different tt gates

Damn it’s like you knew I needed something to listen to while falling asleep

there’s ALWAYS a best friend that crawls out of the woodwork and jumps on the opportunity

I think what also is an issue with this forcefully trying to be an individual. Like in a sense that it's soley selfcentred egotism and "I'm not like everyone else, I'm better than everyone else"-attitude. I believe that Tay's apology was genuine and that she did not think this through because accusing someone of stealing is giving you attention and validation until you think about how your actions have consequences and I believe she understands now. Ofc that whole drama shouldn't have started in the first place because then you are not DIY account.

She’s posting DIY that means it’s for people to make them themselves she’s not just showing her original artwork that she does which is something very different. If a painter is showing a step by step process of how to make an apple painting people will practice the techniques by designing the same thing the painter is explaining

Can we not call things like this “drama” and call it what it is… pettiness.

Please, those small diy moss mirrors had been around on Pinterest for years during the lockdowns she just remade it on a full-size mirror and claimed it as hers.. how can she act like she owns this style ? And the aura wall murals existed before her “ombre wall” room.. You’ll see so many quirky interior design brands selling products that cater to this aesthetic it’s literally 90s cartoon nostalgia people have been recreating interiors from their old favourite cartoons like Totally spies, winx etc and it has come as a response to the grey silver interiors that people were getting sick of.

I wasn’t expecting you to cover this but I’m happy you did!! 😊

Her apology gives ukelele

Judge salary is upperclass. Definitely not poverty. Not even middle class

omg angelika made a video on this LMAOOOOOO.... honestly don't know any of these tiktokers but cozy life shoulda kept that video up is was gangsta...

If she didn't want people to copy her decorating or be inspired by it she shouldn't share it.

What really bothers me is that she’s kind of making fun of the second girls art….. also she’s not copying? Just getting inspiration? Isn’t that the whole point of having a diy tiktok?

This is so middle school, jesus. Like, it's giving "omg that girl is copying me because I wore jeans last week, and now she's wearing them today!"

The last time I heard someone crying about people "copying" them was in elementary school. And even then I thought rhey were being childish

Sorry, I could have sworn you were essentially mentioning highlighter and ripped paper effect here 😂

Lmaoooooo if I messaged my brother RIGHT NOW and asked him what two colors aside from black I’d paint my entire apartment right now he would say blue and green 😂😂😂 OOH IM SO QUIRKYYYYY😂😛🤪😜 he would also not be shocked if he saw dinosaurs on my wall. I’m literally sitting on the floor working on a Scream inspired bag right now. OBVIOUSLY having been born in 1997 I had NOTHING to do with the making of scream. I didn’t make dinosaur. I didn’t make the color blue. It’s still my favorite. We’re still acting like this it’s 2023. I respect that she apologized however we’re at the point where we are too grown to act like this.

Artists like tay r the reason non artists have this fucked up idea of what constitutes malicious copying in art. I wouldnt call myself an artist by any means but ive been an art hobbyist for a long time n ppl trying to get into art often feel like they have to be entirely original from the get go but reality is that theres no such thing as originality in art. All art is derivative n theres absolutely nothing wrong with using tools like tracing or copying for ur personal projects n an inspo shoutout is all any self respecting artist would ask for if u planned on posting. The only times blatant copying is bad is if ur making a product to be sold w little to no alterations to the original design, otherwise unless the artist has explicitly said they dont want their art being copied its free game.

This literally feels like middle school drama. When are people going to grow up?

TikTok is where empathy goes to die.

Also it’s really fucked up to make a “call out” video to attack the other and then BLOCK them Like say it with ur chest if ur going to

I think the biggest thing with copying is taking someone’s extact idea to a t and saying it’s your original idea, painting a squiggle on a wall isn’t copying, but putting a squiggle and the exact monster heads without any given credit would be. Karrin very clearly was not copying

From a professional interior designer, they are fighting about literal shit. There is good and bad design PERIOD

God i love this unserious drama 😂

Excuse me but there is a dead body on your balcony.

Watching your videos is even more fun now knowing that lily edits them, like every pop up I’m like omg hey bestie !!

I think you would love scandinavian style. Simple but cozy 😊👌

It seems like she learned from her mistake and apologized genuinely. I love her creativity and will continue to support Tay

Hope you are okay ❤ alway take a break if you need to. We will stick around

Also, most of the "copies" are very transformed. The monster heads and the dinosaur heads are only similar in that they are heads on bright colors. They don't look like copies at all, just like inspo

Just watched Charlotte Dobre cover this, it's hilarious! The style reminds me of those awful Smiggle shops

in like 2007-2008, a friend of mine had gotten some ballet flats. shortly thereafter my mom surprised me with 2 pairs of ballet flats from target. they were the same. i immediately went on msn messenger and told my friend. i thought it was funny and i was stoked to have the same cute pair of shoes as my friend. she got angry with me, said flats were HER thing, and blocked me.

Tbh though I’ve come across a couple of reels on Instagram of this style, specifically these two. It didn’t even click for me when I saw videos a while apart that it’s 2-3 different content creators that do such similar content. They merged into one thing before I looked more into their content. I feel like they all kinda need to individualise a bit more. Not necessarily that anyone is copying anyone but at the same time with such a different style it should be a little easier to make something more personal to you and differentiate your ideas.

i think it’s a good custom to follow to give credit to inspo, so if she had said “i saw tay do this project and i love it so much i want to add it to my home” would have been good, but not necessarily required. aside from that, tay blew everything out of proportion and her reaction was overblown and unnecessary

Hi interior design major here :3 I love design and have followed both of these gals for over a year. It’s soooo disappointing that Tay is bashing another creator with similar style. Art is all about inspiration, I wouldn’t have joined this career path without seeing what artists have done with it. Anyways love you and love your content:)

I'm new here and just wanted to say that your makeup looks absolutely gorgeous. The colors match so well and you look FRESHHHH af.

Perfect timing for some Angelika ✨

She shouldn’t have blocked her after making the video but I can’t lie I hate when people copy me and I hate when someone gaslights me in to thinking it’s okay for turning into me. I think Tay doing diy does makes it weird BUT SHE STARTED making content right afterwards. She took inspiration to straight copying. She started to become her not add into the genre. Idk why no one is seeing that it’s actually sad

When I was 12 (2006) I had green and blue walls in my room. So Taylor obviously copied me. 😅. Blue and green are not abnormal colors at all hahaha. So weird

LASH GATE!! You forgot lashgate

The sad thing is it's not really about karinna doing the DIY's, it's her being a creator doing them and getting more views or watchers that irks Tay. Which is sad, because it's still the same as when a regular follower did them they just don't share it making them a 'rival'

I think the word you were searching for is maximalism, it's very bright, loud, lots of features and things - I definitively get why you'd feel it's too much it's not everyone's up of tea tho it is cheerful to look at in vids. But man to have such a fun house and such a nasty personality 🙃

“blue and green are abnormal” my room is green n blue so i guess i’m copying too?

This was my style about 16 years ago. My room was bright and had squiggles with nerdy things attached to it, like extremely similar to this style. If a friend decided to do the same room, id have been honored honestly.

Why do rich influencers think poverty-baiting is the best way to garner success and sympathy? It’s weird…

Angelika forgetting lashgate 😂

🔥🔥🔥🔥I always love to hear your take on the drama!

That was 100% bullying I am a part of the junk journaling & scrapbooking community & it's ALL DIY!! & I could imagine if one of the bigger creators came after me for copying them. NOW, if I plan on selling my book I will shout them out & tag them & have others check out their account. With that being said I haven't sold any yet but I tried one.. I also ask the girls if I can copy them.. I love when ppl get inspired with something I did or created. I started hobbies because of my mental health & today I am so healthy mentally & I encourage all ppl to get a hobby... ❤❤ We must support & love one another in the DIY community.. I could understand if Kaarin was making money off of tee pee bee boop, but she wasn't, she was creating a beautiful happy space for herself which is so important for our mental health...

We are all just copies of each other. A compilation of who raised us, who we associate with, and even watch. I think it’s nearly impossible to be 100% original.

Kariin wanst even wanting to do the moss mirror at first. Her first idea wasn't working so this was her backup plan. She had the line squiggles and Dino wall things in her apartment. Including the couch. This other girl needs to grow up

I really just enjoyed this video and this drama not being criminal creepy KZfaq drama

it's always so cool and crazy and funny to me that we all learn about the same drama from the same tweet 😭 i literally liked that as a haha a couple days ago 😭😭😭 and tbh if you don't want people to copy you don't put every inch of your diy house online as a diy with every step of the diy just saying and maybe don't copy other people's ideas over and over and over until your entire house is basically another variant of someone else's 🫶🏽 both parties seem to be at fault or not at all idk i don't care

i also live for these tiktok gates

This poor girls response she just seems heartbroken by this!!!!

Mucho interesting thanks for the vid!! Interesting that there's massive tea in some bizarre corner of the YT/TT universe.

am I off my rocker or is blue and green a completely normal colour combination?

Dont make my DIY? Does she KNOW what that mEANS????

Can't believe you forgot about LashGate! 😂😂😂

People faking coming from poverty has to be the most irritating thing. Like your parents were both judges, there’s no way you were living meal to meal
