One woman said she ghosted her friend for trying to steal her boyfriend. And TikTok viewers are heartbroken to hear her friend’s reaction.
TikTok user @kelly_kim_ posted this clip in which she details how she was forced to end a relationship with a woman who was once her close friend. In fact, they were so close that they were roommates for a time.
What was the reason for their friendship to end? Kelly’s boyfriend. Rather, it was like her former friend was trying all kinds of tricks to get the man’s attention and adoration.
Kelly begins the video in the middle of applying her makeup. By the way, I’ve never had to cut someone off in my life, and I’ve never had a friendship break up. Because they feel they only open up to people who are worth their time. And hopefully you will love them for the rest of your life. ”
Unfortunately, she says, the woman she was talking to was not one of these friends. “But this woman was just an exception,” says Kelly, who then goes on to share some of the circumstances that influenced her decision not to spend time with that woman again and not to be furious. He continued, saying he would do his best to help.
“The day she met my boyfriend, or maybe a few days after that, she added him to her best friend’s story and started posting random TMI on her own story. It’s not even a thirst trap, it’s more of an attention trap. This was before my boyfriend and I started dating, but everyone knew we were into each other. Like.”
Kelly went on to relay the second instance she mentioned, which she said was related to the aforementioned Instagram Stories drama. “She borrowed my boyfriend’s hoodie because she was cold, so she stayed at his house, and she took the hoodie home. It’s okay, girl stay warm, stay warm. Please don’t get cold.” However, she continued to wear the hoodie for the next two weeks and posted all about it on social media. A picture of her in his hoodie, again, anything goes,” she says.
The TikToker also didn’t seem to understand that her since-deleted friend out of nowhere praised a brand her boyfriend liked. “Starts randomly showing her love for a brand that her boyfriend likes. I’ve never heard this girl brag about how much she likes this brand before. Never once. She told my boyfriend “Until we met,” Kelly says.
“I spent hours preparing to meet him, calling another friend and telling her that I thought he was cute and that I could see myself getting along with him while we were already dating.” She gave him the sandwich he said he liked and offered to get up early to hand him the sandwich so he could take it to work. Months after it actually happened. I’m kind of surprised right now because we’re talking about this, but I think this is funny. I’m not even furious anymore, I just think it’s kind of funny how hard this girl is trying. To be honest, I don’t blame you, my boyfriend is cute. I hope you find a new man who will buy you a sandwich every morning. Goodbye and best of luck to you,” she wrote. After putting on makeup and blowing a kiss to the camera, she said:

Later, the woman Kelly mentioned in the video posted a video reacting to being “unfriended”. Joe (@joanneyeonlee) says this decision was motivated by his desire to “clear up misconceptions” about his character.
Although Joe doesn’t explicitly name Kelly in the video, he does say that she is his “ghost friend” in the viral video on TikTok. Despite Jo reaching out to Kelly personally multiple times to find out what was wrong with their friendship, she had to find out about Kelly’s anger online. She said she couldn’t really understand it.
Joe went on to mention three different points in Kelly’s video. Her first rebuttal was a reference to Kelly adding the man who eventually became her boyfriend as her best friend on Instagram. Joe said that when she, Kelly, and her mutual friends and friends of friends went out for her birthday, she pointed out a guy (who later became her boyfriend) that Kelly thought was cute. she explained. She also served as a wingman for Kelly, Joe said. She said she walked up to the man and pointed Kelly at him, telling him she thought he was cute and that she wanted to talk to him.
Joe went on to say that the only reason she added Kelly’s boyfriend as a close friend on Instagram was because she added everyone who attended her birthday celebration that night as close friends, and that she doesn’t place much importance on that distinction. He said he had not.
She then refuted Kelly’s accusation that the posts she had uploaded for only her “close friends” to see were attention-seeking uploads meant to “trap” her boyfriend into viewing them. If these attention-trap posts were made for men, Joe would simply add a bunch of guys to his close friends group and leave Kelly and others off of his close friends list. He insisted that there was no such thing.
She then explained Parker’s situation: “I’m notorious for not returning hoodies. I’m sorry it took me so long to give them back because they were so cute. Not because it was his hoodie, but because I wish I had kept it longer.” Like, I just wanted to feel comfortable in his hoodie, literally because it was cute.”
If you were wondering about her over-eagerness to bring Kelly’s boyfriend a sandwich, Joe talked about that too. “The sandwich is like the most symbolic part of this story. You and I both know that the sandwich is our way of saying thank you for installing television. Oh, and this time too we Like we lived together, me and this girl lived together and we were roommates. So they were together and we were together and the three of us installed the TV in my room. I loved joking and teasing people,” she says.
Joe continued, “And just like I really wanted to mount the TV, he did it for me, and I was like, oh my god, I’m so grateful.” Express your gratitude in ways other than just saying “thank you.” Yeah, after I finished work, I bought a sandwich from the bakery right next to my office and put it in the fridge, and I thought, “Okay, perfect, I got a sandwich.” Come pick it up tomorrow before work and eat it before it spoils, because why would you buy a sandwich and let it rot? ”
Joe also explained that Kelly came with her boyfriend to pick up the sandwich in question, which completely invalidates the idea that she was trying to use the sandwich as an “excuse” to attack her boyfriend. she said. “If I had wanted to give him a sandwich, like I did, I would have given him a sandwich. But I didn’t care. It was just a form of expression. For others. would have done this too. It doesn’t matter that it was him,” she says.
She then concluded her reply by stating that Kelly slandered her to a mutual friend and that the original trio of gal pals ultimately broke up because of this drama. Joe responded to Kelly’s video on TikTok, saying he neglected to mention anything he thought was relevant, and that his comments have since been deleted and he has been blocked from his TikTok account.

What often happens in social media debates is that there are always followers and commenters who believe in a “strength in numbers” approach that celebrates a particular narrative, cherry-picking particular evidence and defending particular claims. is. So that their prejudices are supported. This influencer’s tribalism and “stance” teaches people how to analyze the evidence presented to them by their own personal standards, and by blindly supporting or excusing the people they like, rather than scrutinizing the evidence through the lens of those standards. often leads to a predicament.
Judging by the large number of comments left on both Kelly and Joe’s videos, it appears that many people supported Kelly’s views on the issue.
“I’m on Kelly’s side. You tried to be mean and make them seem ‘friendly’. Good for her for cutting you off,” one person wrote.
Another person replied: “I’m on Kelly’s side. You just have to admit that you like him and didn’t have some boundaries when you dated. There’s no excuse for Parker.”
Others have written that, in general, when someone tries too hard to explain a situation and provide excessive details, you think they’re probably trying to hide something. ”
And after watching Joe’s clip, many said they felt like their women were gassing viewers. One viewer said, “I haven’t seen the other videos, but I feel like I’m being gaslit.”
Another person, who also said he had not seen Kelly’s video, said he also found Joe’s story questionable, replying, “I haven’t seen the other videos, but there are red flags here.”
However, those who responded to Joe’s explainer said that while they didn’t think Kelly’s behavior towards Joe’s boyfriend was that bad, she should still be more aware of people’s emotions and interactions with their significant others. . “I know the content is pretty trivial, but from now on, practice self-awareness and boundaries with your friend’s partner,” the user wrote.
