Celebrity apologies rarely go the way they expect them to. People are quick to call them fake or insincere, especially if tears are shown, but sometimes people feel true shame about things that have happened and can’t help but get emotional while talking about it!
That’s what happened to one actress who had to apologize for guest behavior, but part way through her video, things take a strange turn.
When internet celebrities get in trouble, it always plays out the same way.
The event happens in which they or their fans do something bad, the celebrity gets slammed, then in a few days we get a tearful video either apologizing for what they did or for what their fans did.
One of these very videos recently went viral on Twitter.
Not for any reason you might think, though.
The video is from actress Lisa Gilroy , and features her apologizing for an incident that happened the previous week. As of writing, the video has over 337k likes on Twitter, boasting 16.5 million views.
The video begins with her psyching herself up to talk about the incident.
She’s sniffling and teary-eyed, clearly having been emotionally impacted by what happened.
She explains that she recently held a contest on her page in which five of her fans got to spend a day with her and visit the set of her latest project.
The visit went completely awry.
She explained that the guests that she brought to the set were extremely rude, breaking every rule she set and even destroying her property!
“[…] It should have been a fun time for all of us, but I think sometimes people forget I’m not just a personality or an influencer, I’m a real person.”
“I made the mistake of thinking these people were going to treat me with respect.”
Yeesh, that sounds harsh. What exactly happened?
She goes on to explain what each guest did, starting with the first guy who apparently “drank from the chocolate river that I said was off limits.” Yeah, touching craft services when you’re not supposed to is pretty rude.
That’s what the next people did too.
“Another person brought their grandpa, even after I said guests weren’t allowed, and they drank the pop that I told them not to drink and they floated up to the ceiling.”
Wait, what?

It was a perfect joke that had the replies lauding Gilroy for not only the idea, but her acting too!
People were admitting that they thought the video was real at the beginning.
And I did too! The joke was so well executed, the twist impossible to see coming and delivered so, so perfectly.
