THIS. I wasn’t a fan before Dakota, but I wasn’t an anti or anything. I just kept an eye on the McKnights from when I used to follow them for hair content as a teen, probably ten years ago. But when Dakota showed up, I REALLY changed my mind.
Even if Dakota was super progressive lol, there was always something that seemed extremely phoney about the whole relationship, especially compared to Brooklyn’s chemistry with Brooks (and let’s be honest Brooks probably has similar views to Dakota, he just didn’t admit it publicly

).
After Dakota appeared, so much changed. Especially Brooklyn, who changed waaayyy more than I expected…and not for the better. Even if she’s just now showing her true colors and is ultimately the same as Dakota/generally petty and kinda mean, it still took me aback. Brooklyn was always a fan favourite, but now I think a lot of fans are moving over to Bailey. It’s a pretty big sea change.
With this TikTok, my impression was that Brooklyn is well aware of this and is embarrassed/ashamed/doesn’t want to admit it, hence the mean girl rant. That comment was so harmless and she just BUTCHERED it, all while sounding super false and extremely triggered.
She reminds me so much of these influencers who act sooooooo in looooove and then announce their divorces/breakups before spilling the tea on their ex. Anyone who has to prove their love isn’t really in love, imho.
And the difference between Bailey and Brooklyn’s wedding is a big red flag to me. Sure, not everyone loves weddings and it’s totally fine not to (I’d be stressed AF with wedding planning lol), but to look and sound so empty talking about it? Homegirl’s heart wasn’t in it, let’s be real.
