Brooke Schofield, known for co-hosting the Cancelled podcast, has come under criticism after several of her old tweets resurfaced.

After facing backlash, Schofield publicly apologized in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has since said that her views have changed and that she no longer agrees with what she posted years ago. According to Schofield, she now understands why the tweets were harmful. Below is a chronological list of 10 tweets that have been part of the conversation about her online behavior and public response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke Schofield Apologizes for Past Tweets Defending George Zimmerman and Dismissing Racism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brooke Schofield has apologized after old tweets resurfaced in which she defended George Zimmerman following the death of Trayvon Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TikTok personality, known for co-hosting the Cancelled podcast alongside Tana Mongeau, posted a nearly four-minute video on August 3 to address the tweets, which were originally made between 2012 and 2015. In the emotional video, Schofield called her previous comments about Martin\u2019s death \u201cdisturbing,\u201d \u201cwrong,\u201d \u201chorrible,\u201d and \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempting to explain her past behavior, Schofield reflected on her upbringing, mentioning that her parents struggled with addiction and that she was adopted by her grandparents at around age 10. \u201cAs is true for a lot of grandparents, they\u2019re a little bit less progressive than a lot of us are now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described her grandfather as \u201cright-wing conservative\u201d and noted that her early exposure was limited to conservative media. \u201cI just should have known better,\u201d she admitted. \u201cSometimes you have these people that you put on a pedestal, and you think everybody older than you is smarter than you and knows everything and they do not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schofield said her views didn\u2019t begin to change until after she attended college. She also apologized for not speaking out about the tweets earlier, explaining that she feared revisiting them would cause more harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m very, very sorry to anybody who is hurt by the tweets because, obviously, they are very hurtful,\u201d she said. \u201cThat is not how I think, that is not what I believe and I am 27 years old now. I\u2019ve had so much time to learn and grow and formulate my own opinions and they are nothing like they were when I was 17-18 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tweets resurfaced after being shared by celebrity gossip account PopCrave. In the posts, Schofield argued that Zimmerman\u2019s shooting of Martin wasn\u2019t racially motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuarantee if Zimmerman shot a white guy, this wouldn\u2019t even be a story,\u201d she tweeted on July 14, 2013. \u201cNews flash this wasn\u2019t a crime of racism it was self defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, as the teenager walked to a store. Citing Florida\u2019s \u201cstand your ground\u201d law, Zimmerman claimed he acted in self-defense and was later acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. Martin\u2019s death became a catalyst for the Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another tweet from March 2015, Schofield wrote: \u201cI said so many accidentally racist things last night I don\u2019t know how I even made it back to America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schofield recently gained widespread attention for a viral TikTok series about her ex-boyfriend, musician Clinton Kane, in which she alleged that he lied about his background and personal history. A representative for Kane responded, stating they had a \u201cbrief, three-month relationship over two years ago\u201d and called Schofield\u2019s claims \u201cuntrue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
