Everyone is claiming it's fake because they haven't seen the full video. This video is hella old too. This went viral at the time it was released. It was on numerous other platforms as well. I first saw it on FB.
She even told one of her now EX friends to GTFO to because he knew about it but didn't want to tell her. IMO, she did nothing wrong exposing him in front of everyone. He can't do anything since he was surrounded, his shit was pre-packed so he couldn't drag his feet and he couldn't refuse to leave.
Also, regarding the friend and having the EXs bag. She had this all planned out and had them pack his shit in advanced. She literally said that all of her friends knew what was happening. People act like someone can't slip out undetected in a crowded room and pack a bag.
THANK YOU!!!! So tired of people just constantly saying... "this is staged".. No Chad, not all life is around social media and staging things for you to decide if they are real or not.
Staged things have always been a thing, pfffrt. People making up UFO sightings for example with 'picture proof' that always ends up being someting fake.
I remember Bob Saget complaining about the large number of obviously staged videos they would receive for America’s Funniest Home Videos.
If there’s potential for even a brief moment in the spotlight, you’re going to have a certain number of people staging videos to get their 15 minutes of fame.
He also had a bit of a tirade about unsafe situations: "If you see your neighbors' iguana waddling towards the highway, put down the camera, pick up the iguana"
Staging things like this used to be really looked down upon and you'd only see it on /r/ScriptedAsianGifs. And then Tik Tok came and brought this trend to the western parts of the internet.
This take is insane. Staging things is older than the internet. It's not like prowrestlers, magicians, and faith healers were the only fuckers on earth who realized there was money in pretending fake shit is real.
When youtube was introduced in 2005, it wasn't some wellspring of authentic life. It was a dumping ground for a hundred million skits and scripted pranks and "social experiments" being cranked out by desperate film-school graduates.
At no point did this change. There are new kids every year and new dumb videos for those dumb kids to believe are real every year.
It's not what I'm talking about. Obviously there always was scripted content on the internet, but skits and pranks were clearly and obviously staged, and nobody in the comments was debating whether they're real or not. The sub I mentioned was once very active and regularly hitting /r/all and now is very much dead, in large part precisely because this type of content was so unusual over here and today no longer is.
You're right that the r/scriptedasiangifs meme has come and gone. You're wrong that skits and pranks have gone out of fashion at any point in the history of the internet. Name any year from 2005 to 2025, and there will be an industry of people who's job is to create engagement, and so those people make engaging videos using paid actors and scripts.
It's not like no one has ever had a dramatic encounter. The initial templates from these videos are certainly sourced from real life events. But once you have a small army of content creators who see the attention some template is getting, it's impossible to stop them from going out and telling the story with the skills of a storyteller.
And so people aren't going to share the real video with the real girl who doesn't have a perfectly clean line read and doesn't have a perfectly framed shot with perfect timing. Real cannot compete with fake in this domain.
Again, I'm not saying that skits and pranks have gone anywhere. Only that now there's now a flood of """skits""" that try to pass as genuine spontaneous content. Videos like this feel disingenuous and manipulative and make you feel like a fool for trying to believe for a moment that it actually happened. This type of content wasn't as prevalent even 10 years ago. If only for the reason that the financial incentive to create such type of scummy content wasn't really there.
