**Moriah Rose Pereira**, better known as **Poppy** or formerly **Moriah Poppy** and **That Poppy**, is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She is perhaps best known for her YouTube videos, directed by Titanic Sinclair, where she did social commentary in a very similar fashion to the *Computer Show* episodes.

## Background

Poppy was born in Whitman, Massachusetts. When she was 14, she moved with her family to Nashville, Tennessee, and took dance lessons for 11 years until deciding to be a musician. She had her first live performance at IndieCove in August 2011, and would go on to create a YouTube channel later that year where she would upload original songs and covers. She eventually moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18.

Poppy signed to Island Records in January 2014, and she met Mars Argo and Sinclair around this time. After Sinclair's split with Argo that year, he began working on music, and later on YouTube videos, with Poppy, the latter of which closely resembled his work with Argo on the Grocerybag YouTube channel.

On April 17th, 2018, Argo filed a lawsuit against Poppy and Sinclair, claiming copyright infringement and domestic violence. Poppy retaliated on Twitter by calling Argo's lawsuit a "desperate grab for fame" and further accusing her then-rumored collaborator, Josh Moran, of similar psychological and physical abuse crimes. However, there's no proof to back up that Moran and Argo were working on music in the first place, and Poppy's claims and restraining order she filed against him were censored of any evidence of legitimacy and dismissed by a judge, while Sinclair's was denied. In exchange for Argo's family to refrain from suing for damages, Poppy and Sinclair agreed to a restraining order between the two parties, to cease referencing and harassing her, giving her full custody of Mars Argo Inc., and to destroy all photographic blackmail they accumulated against her.

On December 28th, 2019, a statement confirming that Sinclair and Poppy split up was released to Twitter. She accused him of "glamorizing" suicide and using this to manipulate her. Despite this, she has never publicly retracted her initial statements regarding Argo, and insists she was "never controlled" by Sinclair, further stating that "he didn't want to make YouTube videos, but [she] begged him".
