4Trisha Hershberger is a vlogger and actress who first gained notoriety as a host on ''WebVideo/SourceFed''. She was with the channel from 2012 to early 2015. After her departure, she made occasional guest appearances including in the final ''[=SourceFed=]'' video released in March 2017.

6Since leaving ''[=SourceFed=]'', Trisha has gained a following of her own producing solo content on her [=YouTube=] channel; she has become best known for her series ''The Naked Truth''. In it, she vlogs naked about various topics. Trisha emphasizes that the series' nudity is not sexualized -- hence why it is done from the shoulders up and no private parts are shown -- but representative of being vulnerable and sharing one's true feelings without the pretense of clothes and makeup. Trisha encourages her followers to make their own responses to her videos. Some choose to do so naked, others prefer to remain clothed; regardless, Trisha has dubbed those who make responses the [[FanCommunityNickname "Naked Army"]]. She sometimes has guests on ''The Naked Truth'', but with the exception of her husband these interviews are usually done via Skype so as to prevent Trisha and the guest from seeing each other fully nude. Also, while Trisha herself is not a [[UsefulNotes/{{Nudism}} nudist]], the show has attracted some interest from [[PeripheryDemographic the nudist community]] who praise it for demonstrating that simply being naked is not inherently sexual.

8In addition to ''The Naked Truth'', Trisha also does tech videos where she reviews the latest gadgets and the occasional DIY video. She has her own Twitch channel where she plays new video games and gives away prizes to her fans. She has also been interviewed on ''WebVideo/ReelGeekGirls''.

10!!Tropes:
11
12* {{Catchphrase}}: She's fond of saying, "No no!".
13** For a long time she wanted yoga pants with that phrase on the butt. Thanks to [=ForHumanPeoples=], [[{{Defictionalization}} this dream]] [[https://i.redd.it/79l415hvq9oz.jpg became a reality for her]] ([[TheMerch and]] [[https://www.forhumanpeoples.com/collections/trisha-hershberger/products/no-no-9 for you!]]).
14* DiningInTheBuff: Her ''Naked Truth'' vlog about alcohol featured her drinking a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bTRBxPz6so White Russian]].
15* GamerChick: She's an avid gamer and plays everything from the latest ''Franchise/TombRaider'' to survival horror to indie games. Her all-time favorite game is ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}''.
16* {{Gasshole}}: She has no inhibitions with farting on camera and many of her castmates have described her as such.
17* HappilyMarried: To Nate Parker as of October 22nd, 2015. The two introduced a son named Logan to the world on February 21st, 2017.
18* MsFanservice: Her hourglass figure has most certainly developed a bit of this reputation online, with her fair share of sexy photo shoots and many, ''many'' screencaps. However, she says wouldn't want to be naked in a movie unless it was the role of a lifetime.
19* NerdsAreSexy: All the way up to her [=YouTube=] URL name being "nerdychick5". Trisha is often complimented on her appearance but generally doesn't play up the sexy angle unless she's cosplaying or doing a photo shoot.
20* NudityEqualsHonesty: The whole point of ''The Naked Truth'' is to shed one's clothes so as to be vulnerable and thus more honest.
21* OldShame: When Trisha first moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, she took any acting job she could find. As a result, she appeared in some low budget horror movies that she now looks back on with embarrassment.
22* ScheduleSlip: The ''Naked Truth'''s release schedule became more sporadic after Trisha gave birth to her son Logan in February 2017. After October, it went on a seemingly indefinite hiatus. In the summer of 2018, Trisha said she had plans for ''Naked Truth'' 2.0 and teased that the next incarnation might be done live. ''Naked Truth'' 2.0 premiered on October 6, 2018 and is indeed live thanks to a locked-in camera that should prevent any potential [[NippleAndDimed nipple slips]]. Trisha decided it should be live to avoid Website/YouTube demonetization and encourage more interactivity. In January 2021, the ''Naked Truth'' shifted to a podcast format and the [=YouTube=] version was replaced by a happy hour hangout show.
23* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Trisha on multiple occasions while being a part of Creator/ParisHilton's ''My New BFF'' show.
24** Firstly, she only signed onto the show under the guise of it being ''Series/TheApprentice''-esque and attached to a big celebrity, and immediately reconsidered after realizing that Hilton was said celebrity.
25** Then, after ''six weeks'' of poor working and living conditions for no pay with zero connection to the outside world that she likened to ''hazing'', Trisha got voted off in the first episode. She couldn't have been happier about it, and her subsequent EliminationStatement consisted of her celebrating her newfound freedom -- [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and was promptly never used]].
26* ShouldersUpNudity: ''The Naked Truth'' is done from the shoulders up not just because of Website/YouTube restrictions but to emphasize that the nudity is not from a sexual angle.
