One woman’s $20k coat has caused a family feud after her niece ruined it in a prank. The wealthy woman’s niece filled a balloon with paint and threw it at her aunt’s back while she was wearing the coat. The aunt was furious and demanded that her niece pays for the dry cleaning, but after finding out that the coat was beyond repair, she insisted that her niece pays for a new one. When the niece’s mother refused, the aunt threatened to sue, citing video evidence that her niece knew exactly how expensive the coat was and ruined it for online clout. The community is divided on whether the aunt is entitled or if she’s being ridiculous for owning such an expensive coat. What do you think? Is the aunt the a**hole for taking her niece to court, or is she justified in seeking compensation for the ruined coat?
