Christy Cook reveals what ‘crazy things’ have been like since revealing her identity

Christy Cookthe mastermind behind YouTubePowerful commentary channel Spill Sesh is no stranger to shaping the pop culture conversation. With over 820,000 subscribers and over 450 million views, the content creator has become one of the most trusted names in digital gossip. But since revealing her identity after years of anonymity, Cook says her creative world has completely transformed, from connecting more deeply with her audience to expanding her storytelling beyond YouTube. In an exclusive chat with The Blast, the viral creator talked about life after a face reveal, what separates “Spill Sesh” from other “tea” channels, and why she’s finally ready to take her story to the next level.

Cook’s reveal was a defining moment in her career, allowing fans to meet the woman behind one of YouTube’s biggest gossip empires. For her, this transformation was liberating and creatively revitalizing.

“It’s definitely been crazy how things have been since the face reveal,” she told The Blast. “I’ve been able to do a lot of things. Go to events, meet new people, and network in ways I couldn’t before. I felt really limited when I was anonymous.”

Despite her entry into the spotlight, Cook says she kept the essence of “Spill Sesh” intact. “I’m in the videos a little more now, but I tried to keep it close to what it was before because I know people don’t like change,” she explained. “I just added to what was already working.”

Before being revealed, the mystery host of Spill Sesh was known only by her voice, a strategy that gave the channel an unbiased edge. But as Cook explains, revealing her identity has helped humanize her brand and build stronger relationships with fans.

“I’ve definitely seen comments saying it’s good to know who’s talking,” she said. “Some people liked the anonymity because it felt like they were more distant, but a lot of people said it makes things feel more personal. It humanizes the content.”

While some warned her not to show her face, Cook said she felt more anxious staying hidden. “It felt good to do it myself,” she admitted. “It was this giant looming thing, as if someone else could expose me first. Once I did, the anxiety went away.”

Spill Sesh has long been hailed as one of the biggest and most credible “tea” channels on the internet, known for breaking influencer news long before mainstream media took hold. Cook attributes her success to being part of the community long before it became trendy.

“At first, no one was really talking about YouTubers or influencers,” she recalled. “Now, legacy media covers the same stories, but I think my audience knows that I’ve been here for years, watching these creators, and I know their history. When I reference something from eight years ago, I remember those videos. That’s the difference.”

As the digital landscape evolves with the rise of TikTok, Cook has noticed a shift in how influencer culture is viewed. “People are starting to realize that this is a legitimate profession,” she said. “It’s no longer just gossip, it’s documenting the entire ecosystem.”

With millions watching, Cook says the biggest lesson she’s learned is how to balance accuracy and entertainment. “I try to keep things fairly neutral unless it’s something serious, like a crime,” she explained. “I just want people to leave knowing all sides of the story.”

She admits that her first videos were more opinionated, but her style has matured with experience. Now, Cook approaches rumors carefully, distinguishing between playful speculation and serious reporting. “If it’s fun, like a dating rumor or a still photo, that’s something we can talk about. But when it seems heavy, I wait for the official statements before I say anything.”

She says this thoughtful approach helps maintain Spill Sesh’s credibility while still giving viewers the pop culture buzz they crave.
