N5. Carly Phillips
The next person who became famous due to the internet is Carly Phillips, a romance novelist and mother of two.
She is known as the “Sheltering Suburban Mom” who lets her kids watch R-rated movies and stay up late.
Behind the internet meme is a professional, New York Time’s best-selling romance novelist.
Somehow someone believed it would be funny to take the picture of the “cool mom” and add captions to them.
Some of the famous captions are: “Let’s kids watch PG-13 movies… when they’re 17” and so on.
To her credit, the novelist, who already had her own public persona prior to the memes, has taken it in good faith, but there’s no mention of them on her website or bio.
