First Exposure to Tophia

r/tophiachutiktok • by Opera-Ghost-94 •

Members of r/tophiachutiktok, where did you first learn about Tophia? For me, it was YouTube after going down a YouTube rabbit hole of LOL cows, starting with August the Duck’s King Cobra JFS cooking video commentary.

    I live in Albuquerque. About half a mile from Motelchu. I delivered a Doordash to them, and the stench and the strange facial features stuck in my mind. A week later, she randomly popped up in a YouTube reaction video I saw. The rest is history.

      Oh wow, an in-person meeting? That’s a rare first introduction. Could you tell us more?

      Did the room reek of BO or was it more than just BO smell

      1. BigMcLargeHuge77 Share • 8

        It was more. It reminded me of a garbage dump smell with a healthy dose of urine.

        1. ThinUnderstanding180 Share • 4

          I believe it. Marie has bladder issues and squid said the mattresses were soaked with urine and we know Tophia showers once a Week if that. Maybe she doesn’t even shower just changes her clothing once a week

      What was the stench like? Who answered the door?

      1. Still_Mission_1918 Share • 9

        Bet her mom answered with her yelling "mAAAm" in the back, "It's for MEEEEE!"

        1. Opera-Ghost-94 Share • 6

          Sounds just about right.

      2. BigMcLargeHuge77 Share • 7

        Tophia answered the door. I don't remember hearing Marie. It smelled like garbage and cat piss.

    her boss’ daughter content on tiktok. i follow people for being unintentionally funny (key word being unintentionally) and she was one of them.

  3. Extension-Chicken737 Share • 20

    It was right before her eviction. I remember her being yelled at by Papachu for ordering DoorDash and I went down the rabbit hole haven’t come out since lol

    My first Tophia live was her at Walmart shopping for her BTS concert

  5. smolpinaysuccubus Share • 13

    I was scrolling on TikTok and saw that someone said she shit on the sidewalk 😭

    1. Still_Mission_1918 Share • 3

      But she did 🤣🤣

      1. smolpinaysuccubus Share • 3

        YES SHE DID 😂😂

  6. Moodithepanda Share • 11

    Through YouTube compilations if I’m not mistaken and then I believe the first long form breakdown video I watched was a guy named Hyrougal

    About a month before eviction Era from the apartment. Her live showed up on my FYP and she was crying on live, and I felt so bad for her as I was reading the comments. I thought people were very cruel to her. Then I watched a few more of her lives and they were super boring. She spent more time looking at her phone and then one day she popped up on my FYP with all the eviction stuff and her mom losing her mind in the background and I was hooked.

    I was scrolling on my fyp one day and had the once in a life time opportunity to catch the second half of the Aunt Karen Live Stream as it happened

        tldr: lack of moderation, enabling inappropriate interactions between minors and adults Honestly, I don't think minors should even be engaging with lolcow content at all. Not sure why he even allowed minors in the first place

    On a tiktok where she was crying that she would never get a partner because she wasnt "conventionally atractive"

  11. ImFucktM8 Share • 8

    in 2022 she randomly started popping up on my FYP, BUT THEN videos of Donald Sr. started popping up and i was like “okay i got to know more about these people”

    from there i went on a deep dive of all the clips of Donald Sr that was available at the time. from that moment i was hooked on the Chu

  12. Many_Study_9513 Share • 7

    I believe I learned about her through all the Asian teen memes surrounding her. That or Aunt Karen lol back when aunt Karen was in love with the Native American man.

  13. Upper_Night3400 Share • 6

    My cousin sent me a tiktok where her dad wanted her to take the trash out and she was complaining to him that she didn’t want to because she might get “kidnapped” if she walks outside to do a simple task. She was throwing the biggest fit about just simply taking the trash out.

  14. Select_Medium5147 Share • 6

    Apartmentchu era, I wanna say a few months before eviction maybe? When I first caught her live on my fyp i thought she was really fucking ugly tbh and I was intrigued by how weird she looked. I also wondered why she went live cause her lives were so boring to me at first and was surprised she showed any of her dingy apartment cause I’d be embarrassed. Then i realized the chat was hilarious and the stuff she did was so ogre like and funny and the cameos of her Neanderthal family made me laugh. Plus she went live at night a lot so it was fun getting stoned and watching and laughing my ass off.

    When aunt Karen exposed her

  16. Specialist_Dream7895 Share • 4

    Saw clipdumps on Youtube and felt sorry for her. Then I went down the rabbit hole...

  17. Professoryap420 Share • 4

    I honestly don’t know. I know it’s been over a year since I first discovered her, but I feel like it’s been longer than that.

  18. Ambitious-Ad2479 Share • 4

    She was “beefing” with the Apple Store queen (Shay Hinton) and I was a troll for her and then just being nosey I fell into the chulore

      Welcome aboard.

    right after aunt Karen. i first found Leslie Clark and i think tiktoks algorithm led me to tophia right after 😂

  20. Glens_Coco Share • 3

    I first learned about her right when she was getting evicted from her apartment and I saw a video of her saying her power and water were turned off with a blanket wrapped around her.

  21. Opening_Peanut531 Share • 3

    it's hard to say but it was when she said she could "date a kpop idol", then i went through a rabbit hole.

  22. Pitiful_Truth_377 Share • 3

    I saw her when a YouTuber SMOKEY explain how she’s was homeless and living out of her brother car, can I just shocked on how she believes that Tik tok is her full time hard working job

    I'm constantly looking for and releasing cows. I found the heifer through youtube during her apartment eviction era. She seemed like decent cow after my main cow died of heart failure from the excessive drug use and back alley plastic surgery.. I told the bitch her life was like a Requiem for a Dream. Then look what happened.

    1. pants710 Share • 1

    2 years ago, I was on YT. I needed something to listen to at work and came across Tophiachu. During this time I had to quickly download videos as mp3s and I didn’t look much at the thumbnails of what I was downloading. This meant I didn’t really know what the people looked like. So at work I’m listening to a Tophiachu video and I was mainly like oh ok until it started talking about Papachu. That caught my attention lol. I was like what is this this wild family??? I actually still don’t know too much about them lol. I never made time to go down the rabbit hole.

  27. DeadWolverine93 Share • 3

    SmokeyMcC was covering her & I got intrigued…

  28. GlitteringBunny014 Share • 2

    Getting into Leslie Clark’s lore about 2 years ago. Whenever Leslie would get boring or she wasn’t live and tophia was, I would be on her lives😭 I was even in a gc for tophia whenever she went live

  29. illuminatimom Share • 2

    Her live came up on my fyp and mickeychu scared me so bad hahahah i thought she was a victim in an unsafe situation with papachu

  30. Still_Mission_1918 Share • 2

    The bosses daughters crap

  31. obesetwink Share • 2

    Her lives would always come up on my FYP and I wouldn’t click to watch because I already felt bad because she’s ugly. I always just swiped away. Then one day I clicked it and saw what she was about. I instantly didn’t feel bad for her and got sucked into the Chuniverse. This was during the BTS concert era.

  32. Optimal-Tackle-2353 Share • 2

    I was a little late getting into knowing Tophia but it was when she got banned on her live playing sims. I was vacationing in Hawaii it happened 🤣

  33. FaithlessnessNext423 Share • 2

    I saw a meme about Tophia once and then I got into the Ash Trevino lore and saw her name as part of a lol ow video. I actually know Angie and I remember when she was dating Donald and she would tell me about him and stuff when we would catch up and talk. When I was looking into the whole Tophiachu thing, I found out that Donald was Tophiachu’s brother and dead ass after finding about this a few days later Donald got shot.

  34. Alexisbaltazar1995 Share • 2

    Around the time when she went to a bts concert

  35. AtalantiaX Share • 2

    I found her from a bosses daughter comp video or a YouTuber called kiwi tapes. I can’t remember which one.

  36. gumiimimi1 Share • 2

    i got into tophia when i came across a video of someone mocking her. it was a video like "people enjoying the things they worked hard for" and then it cuts to tophia in the back hating and it was to the song that sings "f that *"

  37. SupaSonicWhisper Share • 2

    Some YouTube video. Don’t remember by who or which one, but I think it was last year. I couldn’t believe she was a real person. 

  38. mortuarymaiden Share • 2

    A couple years back, through KiwiTapes and SmokeyMcC on Youtube

  39. dmizzy34 Share • 2

    Came across a video a video on TikTok about “ Professional beggars” of TikTok and she was on the list along with a few other people than I started seeing more videos of her popping up on my fyp and been down that rabbit hole every since lol

  40. tamib123_ Share • 2

    around the first aunt karen live and the eviction

  41. Ill_Charge3489 Share • 2

    I found a clip of her on my fyp back in like her boss daughter era or somewhere around there and started watching her lives

  42. Ibarasorekara Share • 2

    when meepchu made that video on her; I believe it was probably the first YouTube video on tophia.

  43. fijiwat3rpapi Share • 2

    Her boss daughter videos and livestreams of her just sitting in apartmentchu used to always spawn on my fyp and at first I thought she was just a fat socially awkward creator and I blocked her.

    It wasn’t until evictionchu when I became aware of the lore because all the tea pages sharing the raid body cam footage started popping up, and the rest is history. At first glance I had no idea she was in her late 20’s, actually named Tophia, and as awful of a person as she is.

  44. Sofa_balderas666 Share • 2

    I honestly do not remember, I just remember it was maybe a year before the eviction. Came across her live on my fyp and wonder why everyone was so mean. Fell down the rabbit hole and understood why she got hate. Been here ever since

  45. Mariameee_ Share • 2

    My friend had introduced me to her back in 2021-2022 and Tophia would at times pop up on my fyp and I found her boss daughter videos entertaining but have never supported her or ever rlly felt bad for her and her situation

  47. Emergency_Ad_1299 Share • 2

    Oh, I was waiting for this question. It was literally on the day that brother chew passed away. Me and my boyfriend watched a two hour video about her lore and then at the end of the video I was like let me go on her page and see what she’s doingand I go on her page and she’s posting about her brother and crying, and I was literally in shock because I was like oh my goodness this just keeps on folding in front of my eyes
