Netflix’s Calabasas Confidential premieres 29 May, and among its newest faces is influencer Suede Brooks—born 8 February 2001, raised outside Calabasas in Las Vegas, and already tied to high-profile names like Scott Disick, Drake, and Kid Cudi.
On 29 May. Netflix is taking viewers back to Calabasas—gated. glitzy. and packed with people who seem to come with their own headlines. Calabasas Confidential doesn’t just set the scene. It sends a group of friends—plus rivals—back to the same world after graduating college. forcing them to reconnect in their parents’ mansions and deal with the drama they left unresolved.
One of the newest faces in that circle is Suede Brooks, introduced to the group as one of the show’s LA newbies. She’s not someone who grew up in Calabasas, and that difference matters: she’s brought in through fellow influencer Nicole Sahebi.
Nicole is the anchor for how Suede enters the story. Nicole Sahebi was born 8 February 2001 and is currently 25 years old. For star-sign fans. she’s an Aquarius—independent and eccentric. the kind of descriptor that fits reality TV’s energy more than it does real life. Nicole’s also far from a homebody. In comments shared with Netflix’s Tudum. she said she loves to travel and likes to “fly private when I can. ” adding that she’s always up for a “hot-girl trip to the South of France or a sexy fling for a month in Amsterdam.”.
Suede Brooks’ own path into that lifestyle is more grounded in another city entirely. She is originally from Las Vegas, where she did online schooling, and she has recently relocated to Los Angeles. Now. her day-to-day reads like it was built for the camera—enjoying late-night drives with the windows down. or sipping her eponymous La La Land order. The Suede. described as “a banana cream latte.”.
Off-screen, Suede’s also already familiar to audiences. She’s an influencer with over 1 million TikTok followers and over 1.7 million Instagram followers. She initially broke onto social media as a teenager, starting a YouTube channel. Her public persona isn’t limited to lifestyle content either. She’s known as the “poker princess,” having appeared in poker tournaments over the years, including 2024’s Celebrity Poker Tour.
The intrigue only deepens when you look at who Suede has been linked to. As her influence has grown. she’s been spotted or photographed with some extremely famous names—once seen with Kourtney Kardashian’s ex Scott Disick. pictured in Saint-Tropez on rapper Drake’s yacht. and previously dated Kid Cudi.
Her family background adds another layer to the story Netflix is trying to build. Suede’s mother Lisa has worked as a hairdresser for over 40 years. Her dad Steven opened a Las Vegas salon named Diva Studio alongside Lisa. Her siblings also work in creative industries: her brother Blaze is a graphic designer. while her sister India Rae is also an influencer. The family faced heartbreak in 2021, when Steven passed away.
In Calabasas Confidential, Suede is stepping into the exact kind of setting where social reach turns into personal pressure. When it comes to the drama in season one. she told Netflix’s Tudum she’s “the one people call when they want the real answer. even if they don’t like the truth.” She also said. “If it matters. I handle it.” And if it doesn’t?. “I move on.”.
That attitude—decisive. blunt. and unwilling to drag things out—feels tailored for a show where friendships get tested the moment everyone has to sit in the same space again. Viewers won’t have long to wait. Calabasas Confidential streams on Netflix now. with the series opening its doors to Calabasas on 29 May. and Suede Brooks already positioned as someone who knows how to be seen—and how to make it count.
