Chris Crocker
Chris Crocker is an American Internet celebrity, blogger, songwriter, recording artist and former pornographic film actor. Crocker gained international fame in September 2007 from his viral video "Leave Britney Alone!", in which he tearfully defended pop singer Britney Spears' comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards; his video had over four million views in two days. The video received international media attention, hundreds of parodies and criticism for Crocker.
Crocker is a self-described "edutainer" who produces and acts in videos.〔 In almost all of his adolescent works, he presents himself as an openly gay and effeminate Southerner in a "small-minded town" in the Bible Belt where his sexual orientation and outspokenness are a "subtext... rarely addressed directly and never completely accepted".〔〔 The Tennessee-based Crocker, a stage name, kept his identity and exact location private due to safety concerns, and death threats in response to his YouTube and MySpace video blogs and profile until he was no longer a teenager.〔〔 According to his MySpace profile, Crocker lived in Los Angeles as of January 2008. In May 2010, Crocker returned home to Tennessee, and now travels to Los Angeles for business.〔Chris Crocker's YouTube Channel〕
Crocker's work consists mainly of short-form self-directed monologues shot in his grandparents' home.〔 , his videos have received a combined 50 million plays on MySpace, and his vlog channel on YouTube was the 100th most viewed of all time in all categories, with over 205 million video views, before Crocker closed his YouTube account in September 2015. Crocker's detractors and critics have accused him of narcissism, melodramatics, histrionics, and using Spears' personal shortcomings to bolster his own fame. Others have accused Crocker of acting in the "Leave Britney Alone!" video, although he insisted it was genuine on a September 2007 appearance on Maury Povich's ''Maury'' show. In 2014, ''Queerty'' stated that with Crocker's thousands of Facebook and Twitter followers, he is "one of those self-invented social media icons that we love".
==Early life==
Crocker was born in East Tennessee to a teenage couple and was raised by his grandparents.〔 Crocker said he "raised eyebrows" by bringing Barbie dolls to kindergarten for show and tell rather than the toys or action figures more conventionally associated with boys. Crocker continued living in his place of birth () throughout his youth, and was homeschooled in response to constant "death threats, bullying and glares at his clothes and makeup"〔 specifically after allegedly being "harassed by a homophobic high school gym coach".〔()〕 Crocker lived with his fundamentalist Pentecostal grandparents who continued raising him when his teenage parents were not able. While his grandfather reportedly knows little about his Internet fame, his grandmother has reluctantly appeared in some of his videos.〔〔
