Vivian Jenna Wilson says she refused offer to appear in one of Jubilee Media’s controversial videos

Vivian Jenna Wilson took fierce shots at Jubilee Media after claiming she was invited to appear in one of the controversial organisation’s videos.

The 21-year-old trans influencer, who is the estranged daughter of Elon Musk, claimed in an Instagram Story post on Wednesday (23 July) that the media brand had asked her to feature in one of its videos.

Jubilee Media is known for its controversial debate videos, which it claims “provoke understanding and create human connection.”

Its most popular video series, Surrounded, sees one person who holds a particular viewpoint debate multiple individuals who oppose that viewpoint. The most recent video in the series, published on Sunday (20 July), saw progressive broadcaster Medhi Hasan talk to 20 members of the far-right.

Discussing the channel in the Instagram clip, Vivian Jenna Wilson made her feelings on Jubilee Media clear, saying she firmly declined the request to appear in one of their videos.

“Not to be like super messy, but there’s a reason I turned on Jubilee,” she said. “They wanted me to be on one of their f**king videos, and I was like, let me think about it, let me circle back! Let me double-check. No!”

Her comments come as a petition urging YouTube to demonetise Jubilee’s video has reached over 37,200 signatures in less than a day.

“Its content has devolved into a sort of rage-bait politician porn”

Created by LGBTQ+ influencer Matt Bernstein, the petition accuses Jubilee Media of producing “inflammatory viral content” which platforms “increasingly fringe, violent political views.”

“Though the channel started with noble intentions – to bring folks with different perspectives together for good faith debate – its content has devolved into a sort of rage-bait politician porn, generating millions of dollars by making people as angry, offended, and divided as possible.”

During its most recent video, an individual speaking to Hasan proudly declared himself a fascist. He was reportedly fired from his job as a result of the video.

In the petition, Bernstein criticised YouTube for allowing Jubilee to make money from its divisive videos, saying that it is fuelling the company’s desire to make videos as inflammatory as possible.

“The more views, comments, and shares you get, the more money you earn,” he said. “Because of this, any noble intentions Jason Lee had when creating Jubilee have gone out the window.”

He urged YouTube to stop allowing Jubilee to make money from its videos, saying that the “bigoted, violent ideologies” that it platforms hurt everyone.

“There is no reason why a channel whose sole purpose is to sow division and hatred should be able to accrue six figures monthly … our goal is to make such a content mill financially untenable. In a civil society, it should be.”
