Suede Brooks is dazzling audiences as the 25-year-old influencer and model joining the cast of Netflix's fresh reality show, 'Calabasas Confidential.' With a massive Instagram following of over 1.7 million, she's a force to be reckoned with in the social media sphere. The show captures her Californian lifestyle alongside notable figures like Preston Pippen and Jodie Woods, as they navigate life in the affluent Los Angeles suburb.
This summer, all eyes are on Calabasas as we delve into the lives of these high school grads returning to their hometown. Among them is Suede, who might not be a Calabasas native but has seamlessly blended into the SoCal scene. You might recall her making waves when she was spotted partying it up with Drake in the chic streets of St. Tropez. "If it matters, I handle it. If it doesn’t, I move on," Suede shared with Netflix, hinting at her no-nonsense approach to the spotlight.
Born and raised in Henderson, Nevada, Suede Brooks transitioned into the world of influencers in her 20s, taking Southern California by storm. Despite skipping the traditional Calabasas High School experience, she connected with the high-profile crew through her best friend, Nicole Sahebi. Suede's online journey began on YouTube in 2013, where she built a substantial following, though many of her early solo videos are now private.
“I love you dad. you will always be my rock. rest in paradise. i’m going to make you so proud. vlog daddy forever.”
Her family background adds depth to her story. Suede's mother, Lisa Shriver Brooks, was a dedicated hairdresser for over 40 years, while her father, Steven Brooks, passed away in 2021. Known online as vlogdaddy, he was involved in the marijuana business in Humble County before his death.
While Suede Brooks currently seems to be flying solo in the romance department, her past is a tapestry of high-profile connections. Notable names include Scott Disick, Kid Cudi, and the aforementioned Drake. Netflix teases that a new flame might spark this season, adding more intrigue to her narrative. Her relationship history is anything but low-key, but it’s this glitzy backdrop that makes her story so captivating. Kid Cudi, now married, was linked to Suede around 2021, adding another layer to her dynamic life.
