About Suede Brooks
Calabasas Confidential handed Netflix viewers a cast full of famous last names — and one first name nobody forgot. Suede Brooks is an American model, content creator and reality TV personality from Henderson, Nevada, born February 8, 2001. The series, about a group of wealthy twentysomethings returning home to the Los Angeles County enclave made famous by the Kardashians, premiered on May 29, 2026.
Brooks began modeling as a young child and joined YouTube in 2013, when she was in middle school. She has said she turned to content creation after being severely bullied at school — an ordeal that led to police involvement and a switch to online schooling. Her fashion, beauty and vlog content built her an audience of hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers, plus large followings on Instagram and TikTok, and she later ran a joint channel with her sister, fellow influencer India Rae Brooks.
Before Netflix, Brooks was best known for her proximity to celebrity circles: she was photographed aboard Drake's yacht in Saint-Tropez, previously dated rapper Kid Cudi, and was once spotted with Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian's ex. Outlets covering the show's premiere leaned on these connections when introducing her to viewers.
Unlike most of her castmates — a group that includes Jodie Woods, Preston Pippen and Hercy Miller, several of whom have famous relatives — Brooks didn't grow up in Calabasas. On the show she's introduced to the friend group through cast member Nicole Sahebi.
