Nursing influencer and bestselling author Jen Hamilton became a central figure in the Chloe’s Giant Cookies lawsuit story in November 2025, when she used her audience of more than 6.7 million followers to publicly back Memphis baker Chloe Sexton after a Florida company, Chloe’s Cookies LLC, threatened Sexton with a trademark infringement suit over her business name. Hamilton did not file or join any legal action; her involvement was as an amplifier, and the resulting wave of attention drove a GoFundMe into the tens of thousands of dollars and sold out Sexton’s website within about a day.
