A woman went viral for publicly shaming her ex-boyfriend for cheating on her with his school-age stepsister. The incident sparked a conversation about the appropriateness of the relationship and the consequences of public shaming.
“As soon as I saw the video I started crying, and my first thought was ‘What the f–k?’” she said.
Copenhagen, a first-year student at Michigan Tech, first described the disturbing incident in a now-trending TikTok tell-all.
The shocked biomedical engineering student continued, I met my ex, a Michigan Tech sophomore named Mitchell, during my first semester of college and had been out to lunch with his mother when I found out about his incestuous infidelity.
The co-ed confessed in a later TikTok post that she had shown Mitchell’s mother the embarrassing video during their lunch because “I was in shock and I didn’t know what to do.” She says that the unseemly scene left her ex’s mother “even more in shock,” and she eventually left the restaurant.
Copenhagen discovered that she was unable to call Mitchell or contact him on social media before she had an opportunity to inquire about his relationship with his family member.
Copenhagen contends that she posted the horrifying story online as a coping mechanism because she never imagined her posts would become popular.
She also uploaded a screenshot of Ashley’s furious text message rebuke, in which she was berated for airing their dirty laundry online.
However, the single strong woman quickly reassured her online admirers that their sympathy was completely unnecessary.
