We’ve all had that moment when we’re excited to share our favorite movie with someone, only for them to have a less-than-stellar reaction. That’s exactly what happened to a 25-year-old woman who decided to show her 22-year-old boyfriend the cult classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show, during a movie night with friends. Despite warning her boyfriend about the movie’s sexual content and giving him the choice to opt-out, he still chose to watch it. Little did she know, this decision would lead to a dramatic fallout.
