The Brooki Cookie Plagiarism Case

Written by Angelica Low

The Brooki Cookie plagiarism case stirred up drama in the influencer world when Brooki, the popular creator behind Brooki’s Cookies, was accused of copying content from other cookie brands and social media influencers. The allegations flew after fans and businesses noticed striking similarities between Brooki’s posts and those from others, from recipes to visuals—sparking a heated debate on originality vs. inspiration.

While Brooki's cookie empire was built on engaging, relatable content, the controversy raised big questions about the blurry lines between borrowing ideas and straight-up plagiarism in the social media world. This case became a prime example of how easily content can be copied and why crediting creators is more important than ever.

The fallout may have been more of a social media storm than a courtroom battle, but it sent a clear message: in the age of online creativity, the key to success is not just being sweet—it’s being original.

So, where should we draw the line between inspiration and imitation in the world of content creation?
