## Notable events
### Brooke Houts controversy

In August 2019, Lapine was a primary YouTuber in exposing fellow American YouTuber Brooke Houts, who accidentally uploaded raw footage to her YouTube channel in which she abused her new dog. Lapine was the first major influencer to raise awareness of the issue, resulting in attacks and criticism of Houts for her actions.

### January 6 video

Lapine garnered attention following a video she made in which she interviewed Trump supporters at the Save America rally on January 6, 2021, immediately before the January 6 Capitol attack. In her video, she interviewed various attendees of the rally and asked them if they supported legislation that would criminalize burning the American flag, which was declared as constitutionally protected speech in Texas v. Johnson (1989). Many of the interviewees concluded that it should not be a crime to do so.
