Salice Rose has been posting since MySpace — she'll tell you she was MySpace famous — got rejected by The Voice, American Idol and a Burlesque audition, then built roughly 60 million followers across platforms out of comedy skits filmed in her mom's garage, aimed at everyone who told her to stick to being pretty.
Salice Rose is eastside Palmdale — "we grew up with nothing" — Peruvian mom who worked the ER, Navy dad she saw every five or six years, parents split before she turned one. The résumé before fame: hangers and pedicures at five, the Chuck-E-Cheese suit at fifteen, four hours at Domino's. She got expelled enough to land in truancy court, chose a six-month military school herself, and credits it with saving her life.
The career started as a counterpunch: an IG-model account, "stick to being pretty" comments, and a first comedy skit shot in her mom's garage. Twelve-plus years later it's skits, motivational monologues, music, her own podcast, and a Snapchat comedy-creator award nomination.
She's a lesbian who came out at 16 — her mom took three weeks and became her biggest supporter. She's spoken on her own terms this year about a BPD diagnosis and a hard January; the anchors she names are God, family, gym, therapy. She now pays her mom's mortgage.
Save her to your account and we’ll let you know when she adds a platform.
