Chris Crocker

Chris Crocker is an American Internet celebrity, blogger, songwriter, recording artist and former YouTuber and 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 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.
