Reddit is a treasure trove of the weirdest situations that can be mind-blowing but provocative. In this situation, a woman, 28, asks if she’s the bad person for calling her friend, also 28, a “creepy weirdo” and cutting ties with her for posting a TikTok about her husband without their consent. Here is a breakdown of what happened.
The friendship dynamic
The woman has a husband, 32, and her friend, called June in the post, has a boyfriend. Usually, they’d all hang out on double dates and have weekend trips. They’ve been a solid group for over two years and all was good until “this weekend.”

Respecting boundaries
June is trying to be an influencer, so she’s made a habit of filming her life in an attempt to rise to fame. The woman and her husband made it clear to June that they didn’t want to be filmed and they trusted her with that since they don’t have social media, apart from Reddit.
The husband is an orthodontist
The woman’s husband is an orthodontist, and June’s half-sister, Raya, 12, is his patient. June was always the one to accompany Raya to her dental appointments. Little did they know, June had ulterior motives as to why she accompanied her half-sister to her appointments.
What happened “last weekend”
The woman’s brother sent her a TikTok link with a message that said: “Dude you gotta watch this.” Turns out it was a link to June’s TikTok and to the woman’s surprise, she found a video compilation of her husband titled “God I see what you’ve done for others.”
Not a big-time TikToker
When the woman checked June’s TikTok, she found that June had less than 10,000 followers but her husband’s video garnered over half a million views/likes. She had recorded her husband on their various double dates, with the husband being totally unaware, and she even recorded him while working on Raya.
The woman and the husband’s reaction
The woman saw it as “the creepiest thing” she’d ever seen, and when she showed the video to her husband, “he was HORRIFIED.” He felt very “uncomfortable and violated knowing that someone had been secretly recording him.” Additionally, he was angry that he was filmed while working on a patient.
June’s reaction after they found out
When the husband asked June to take the video down, she acted like she knew nothing about it, but then she said that she meant no harm and that it was all for “online engagement.”
The woman quoted what June said, saying: “TikToks with hot guys go viral very fast,” and that June gained a lot of followers after that video.
“Stay away from us, you creepy weirdo”
The woman and her husband got their families to report June’s video and it got taken down, which angered June. June accused the woman of being jealous of her “online success,” to which the woman replied: “You’re delusional and unhinged. You’re not successful and you’ll never be. Stay away from us, you creepy weirdo.”
They cared for Raya’s well-being
Her husband’s practice emailed Raya’s parents, informing them of the situation. The parents were shocked and were very apologetic to the husband. They decided that from now on, they will accompany Raya to her appointments, not June.
June is “all weepy and depressed”
June told their mutual friends that the woman was “mean” to her. June also went on to post about mental health and how women’s words can be hurtful.
June’s TikTok is in the process of being taken down, and the woman and her husband plan to hire a lawyer if June tries to contact them again.
