Documentary Launch Triggers Clashes Over Decade-Old Creator Feuds
The premiere of the Amazon documentary series “Girls of Warsaw” has surfaced long-standing tensions between prominent digital creators Jessica Mercedes and Angelika Trochonowicz, known online as Andziaks. According to the production, both lifestyle influencers star in the project despite originating far outside the Polish capital. During the show, Trochonowicz stated that when she began her YouTube career, Mercedes treated her with visible indifference and ostentatiously ignored her. “Laska, you treated me in a way that I’m not going to smile at you,” Trochonowicz said in the series, explaining her lack of warmth toward her older colleague on set.
In response to the onscreen claims, Mercedes maintained during the program that she does not recall those past interactions. According to viewer reactions and circulating digital archives, the alleged divide dates back approximately ten years to the early days of Poland’s creator economy, when both personalities attended a well-documented birthday party hosted by creator Deynn.
Archival Footage Resurfaces From 2016 Creator Gathering
Social media users quickly resurrected digital evidence from Deynn’s birthday celebration, which took place in a Warsaw apartment in 2016. According to widely shared TikTok clips, the gathering brought together prominent figures of the era, including members of the Abstrachuje channel, Stuu, Marcin Dubiel, fashion bloggers Maffashion and Jessica Mercedes, alongside Trochonowicz and her partner Luka, who were then building their respective channels.
Footage from the event shows Mercedes positioned near the center of attention while Trochonowicz remained largely in the background with her partner. Online commenters reviewing the resurfaced clips noted that the interaction gap was likely unremarkable given the size and dynamics of the gathering. According to user comments analyzed across platforms, observers argued that a decade-old meeting between creators at a crowded party hardly constitutes a deliberate snub, with many defending Mercedes’ right to not remember a casual encounter from ten years prior.
