Transcript
I want to address a video that's going around currently of me and my college town bar. The video of me was originally a live stream, and now it's being clipped and it's all over TikTok, which really sucks. Little rundown on the video, there's this content better. I recognized who he was. I introduced myself. It was a friendly conversation, and then he walked away. And then he comes bad, and he asked me if I'm single and if I'm seeing anyone. Before I can even answer, he points at a guy and says, is that your boyfriend? And it's a guy that I just met at the bar who bought me and my friend's drinks. I said, no. He's just a friend. Because I just met this rank, and I don't have a boyfriend. I'm very much single. And this creator says, so you're single. And the way he said it and how close he was to my face made me really uncomfortable. And on the spot, I fabricated a tier, and I I said, actually, no. That is my boyfriend, so that he would get away from me. And that's exactly what he did. He left me alone after I said that's my boyfriend. Also, the guy that I said, oh, this is my boyfriend, the one I just better, he knew exactly what was going on right away. He could tell that I was uncomfortable, so he played along with it. He actually said in the video, yeah. We've actually been dating for two years. I didn't even know this guy's name. It was really nice for him to help me out, and I really appreciate it. So if you're watching this, thank you for helping me. Better, basically, now the Internet thinks that I cheated on my boyfriend of two years because I said, oh, he's just a friend, and then I said, actually, he's my boyfriend. Which, again, he's no my boyfriend. I just met him. I don't have a boyfriend. I'm single. I'm not even talking to anybody. I just felt uncomfortable. I think in the video that this is quite obvious, but a lot of the comments don't find it obvious. So now I'm getting slut shamed rank called a cheater and getting death threats. I'm I'm getting calls from family members and friends asking if I'm okay because of how mean these are. So I wanted to come on and tell you guys the truth because the comments are really hurtful even though they're absolutely not true. This is not an apology video. I'm not apologizing for anything. I didn't do anything wrong. It's just clarification. Yeah. Also, the content creator that posted this even knows it's fake. He texted me this morning and said, hey. No hard feelings. You should def get some food off camera. A lot of things you see on social media aren't true, and this is just one of them. So just be kind because I didn't cheat on my boyfriend. It's all made up, and I'm a person. And even though I know these comments aren't true, it still hurts and affects me.
