The Fallout between Michael Weist and Danielle Cohn
It all started when Cohn catapulted to fame on YouTube and TikTok and used it to springboard her music career.
Initially, her mother was managing her career, but because her fans advised her to hire a professional manager, she ended up working with Weist.
In a video titled ‘Addressing The Hate + Full Truth,' she opened up about how her relationship deteriorated with Weist after he allegedly lied about her finances and contract.
She did not mention Weist’s name, but fans knew she was referring to him. This new manager was allegedly stealing money from her. She also alleged that this manager told her he forged her name and owned her.
The YouTuber expressed regret at having listened to her fans. She iterated she trusted her mother more than “strangers” because they stole from her.
Michael Weist Responds to Danielle Cohn
On August 22, 2021, Weist uploaded a video titled ‘The Truth About my Client Danielle Cohn’ and opened up about his relationship with Cohn.
He noted he was making this video to clarify certain things that were being said about him.
Weist listed everything he had done for the YouTuber and her mother, Jennifer, from spending money for Cohn’s birthday dinners to helping them pack up when they shifted to Los Angeles from Florida.
In addition, he still had not been paid for all the music videos produced.
The manager also addressed everything that happened with Cohn’s documentary ‘Obsessed.’ Weist noted he stopped filming the documentary after things took a dark turn.
He accused Cohn’s mother of “pimping her daughter” and abusing her daughter for money. The manager then addressed the accusations levied by Cohn in the video mentioned above.
Weist admittedly had stolen no money from her and only claimed revenue that he brought in from the documentary he had produced.
He also promised to sue Cohn and her mother for defamation and slander. And now it looks like he was not fooling around.
