We’ve all been there – making a joke that doesn’t land quite right and ends up causing a bit of drama. That’s what happened to a 22-year-old woman who made a seemingly harmless joke about her formerly overweight friend, James, at a party. The woman had been friends with James since college and had even been his workout buddy during his weight loss journey. However, when a tipsy girl at the party showed interest in James, the woman couldn’t resist making a comment about his past appearance.
