The story

What this was

Cara Cunningham, under a sheet, in tears, addresses the camera about the press coverage of Britney Spears after the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, and tells the people writing it to leave her alone.

It first appeared in 2007, during early YouTube. Uploaded by WestIndianFlava.

Cunningham performed under the name Chris Crocker at the time, to protect her identity against death threats, and has since described the transphobic backlash that followed. She has spoken publicly about holding an unpopular position that critics later validated.
