Cooper was born on October 12, 2001,[3] in Bellingham, Washington.[4] She was raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When she was ten years of age, she relocated to Los Angeles, California, where she began to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.[5][6]
Cooper was homeschooled for most of her childhood. At fifteen years of age, she emancipated herself.[7] She studied at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), from where she obtained her major in English literature. She also obtained a minor in business from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.[8]
For almost ten years, Cooper had roles in the entertainment industry.[2] She participated in films and television series.
As an actress, Cooper starred in three films and five television series prior to signing with The Daily Wire. She eventually reacted to her old acting scenes in a seven minute YouTube video titled, "Brett Cooper REACTS to Brett Cooper…?"[9]
Cooper has written for the Foundation for Economic Education and was an ambassador for PragerU and Turning Point USA.[2][5][10]
In January 2022, Cooper signed with The Daily Wire to start a new podcast called The Comments Section with Brett Cooper.[11] According to The Daily Wire, it is a "viral content and news review show."[12]
The Week described Cooper's show as "aim[ing] to capture a Gen Z audience on TikTok and YouTube."[13] According to Rachel Leishman at The Mary Sue in October 2023: "The trailer for the show sets it up as if she is reading comments and making a statement on what 'leftists' are saying or pushing back against liberal ideals, but in reality, she just picks a topic of conversation and shares her opinions."[14]
The Comments Section with Brett Cooper ultimately became one of the most successful YouTube channels owned by The Daily Wire.[15][16]
On October 26, 2024, Cooper’s producer Reagan Conrad would begin to be a guest host on her show.[17] Eventually, Conrad would appear in more episodes and ultimately become the new host of The Comments Section.[18][19]
Cooper departed from The Daily Wire on December 10, 2024. She stated that the decision was on her own accord.[20] After her departure, she referred her subscribers to her private YouTube channel under the handle @bbrettcooper. It gained nearly 600,000 subscribers in the first month despite having no videos.
In October 2023, Cooper became engaged to Alex Tombul,[21] the founder of an advertising agency.[22] They married in April 2024.[22][23]
