TikTok star Sophia Tanjali is facing online backlash following comments she made about North West’s friends after reported drama during Coachella Weekend 1.
The now 15-year-old content creator has come under fire for using harsh language while speaking about North’s friends, Leah and Everleigh, both of whom are 12 years old.
What Happened at Coachella Weekend 1
According to Sophia Tanjali, tensions began during Coachella Weekend 1, where she hinted at issues within North West’s friend group, which involved North’s friends, Leah and Everleigh.
She claimed that North’s friends, Leah and Everleigh, were “fake friends” who went behind North’s back and left her upset. Sophia suggested she was the only “real” friend in the situation.
Following the incident, North West has reportedly cut ties with both Leah and Everleigh, and they are no longer friends. Although there has been speculation that North is still friends with Leah and Everleigh, that has mostly not been confirmed.
Why Sophia Tanjali Is Being Called Out
While Sophia’s comments quickly gained attention online, it was her choice of words that sparked criticism.
In a video discussing the situation, she referred to the girls using the “B word,” which drew backlash from social media users given their age.
“Calling 12 years old bitches??? Nah Sophia needs to be checked,” one user wrote on X (fka Twitter), in reaction to a clip of the drama reshared on the platform.
Critics pointed out that Sophia Tanjali, who is currently in high school, is older than North West, Leah, and Everleigh, who are all middle schoolers.
Sophia’s Side of the Story
Sophia also claimed that she had been kind to the girls prior to the fallout, saying she bought them Bape shirts.
While explaining what happened, she said the group “did her wrong,” and during the explanation, she appeared to accidentally use the offensive term while referring to them, Leah and Everleigh, as bitches.
Her comments have since circulated widely, fueling ongoing debate about the situation.
