Taking over social media for the past 2-3 days is the image/video of a pretty girl carelessly swiping the birthday cake from the neighboring table. Perhaps her intention was just to “joke around,” but the girl never expected her carefree prank to turn out so… awkward. As a result, she has faced quite a bit of backlash from netizens, to the point of having to lock her Facebook and turn off her phone.
However, during this heated situation, a few self-proclaimed relatives seemingly dropped from the sky (?) suddenly spoke up. Instead of offering an apology to soothe the online community, the aunt and cousin added more fuel to the fire with their very arrogant challenges.
Let’s take a look back at the developments of the most talked-about story on social media right now!
The Pretty Girl Carelessly Swipes Cake from the Neighboring Table, While Filming and Laughing Joyfully
The clip, though only about 10 seconds long, has taken over social media on TikTok as well as Facebook. In the video, this pretty girl, with dyed hair and trendy attire, casually reached over to swipe a cake from another group and leisurely enjoyed it.
Not just once, the girl continued to do this amidst the astonished reactions of the cake’s owner. They decided to move the cake elsewhere, while this pretty girl continued to savor it and laughed heartily, looking quite pleased.
It seems like this girl merely wanted to “joke around” and asked a friend to film the clip, but clearly, this prank wasn’t very funny. In fact, most netizens found it inappropriate and quite embarrassing.
A Series of Facebook Accounts Claiming to Be ‘Famous Relatives’???
Immediately after this story went viral on social media, L quickly locked her Facebook account to avoid backlash. Thinking silence is golden, while the girl was nowhere to be found, some people claimed to be her relatives and rushed to social media to defend her.
However, instead of providing a reasonable explanation or an apology, this girl’s relative caused even more outrage by stating that “the family taught her not to associate with poor people because befriending them would ruin her reputation.”
Additionally, another account named H.N also claimed to be L’s cousin, commenting about his sister that “She is very polite and filial at home.”
However, similar to Aunt T.T.B, this guy added fuel to the fire with his subsequent remarks: “I heard the neighboring table was having a birthday party full of kids, so L just wanted to joke around and get to know them.”
Before eating the cake, she did ask for permission and the group agreed, so she asked her boyfriend to film a fun clip. Little did she know those kids would react by moving the cake away as if L had eaten it all.”
Sorry, everyone, my family is not poor; we can buy as many cakes as we want, it’s just that she is too friendly and sees everyone as friends, so it was just a little joke!”
Silence did not calm the netizens down, and finally, L did apologize to the cake owner and the group of friends who organized the birthday that day. At the same time, the young girl also denied any familial relationship with the two relatives, Aunt T.T.B and cousin H.N.
“I am L, the person in the clip who swiped the cake in a very inconsiderate manner that has been circulating online for the past few days. Now, whatever I say cannot change the foolish act I committed that day. When I saw the girls at the neighboring table blowing out the candles, I asked the girl next to me, and she agreed. She suggested cutting the cake for me, but I declined because I did not intend to eat it; I just wanted everyone to have fun, but I never thought things would go too far.”
In my mind, it was just for fun; I can be quite carefree and impulsive, I was wrong! I sincerely apologize to the group at the neighboring table and sincerely apologize to the owner of that cake for ruining the fun of the party and not making it complete anymore.”
To the host of the party: Please forgive me. I also don’t know who you are. If possible, I would love to meet you in person to offer my sincere apology along with a small gift as a way to express my sincerest regret; I truly want to apologize directly to you!”
After this apology, some critical netizens still did not feel appeased and continued to criticize L. Others believed that this girl is still young and impulsive, so it is sometimes unavoidable to make mistakes in life, what matters is that they recognize their mistakes and can be forgiven.
The Owner of the Cake Also Accepts the Apology
After a series of disturbances lasting for several days, M.N – the owner of the cake that was swiped before even being lit, has accepted L’s apology.
According to the girl born in 1998, L sent her a message of apology, although she was not sure if it was from the original account, she still chose to forgive.
“I am the owner of the cake in the viral clip recently. Although I was sad because my birthday was not complete, but what has happened is in the past and she has apologized to me. My friends and I have accepted her apology. After all, I hope she will grow up more” – M.N wrote.
The owner of the cake has forgiven her, so hopefully the netizens will not criticize L any further, and the young girl learns a valuable lesson about her behavior.
But the incident is not over yet, as many individuals continue to stoke the flames for likes or something?
Still the Facebook account claiming to be L’s cousin, even though the original has denied any relationship, this person has been actively posting challenging statuses to the online community.
After asserting that her “niece” was not wrong, this account also posted an apology today. But unfortunately, the words and tone from this person only made netizens dislike L more and criticize her even further.
According to this Facebook account T.T.B, the explanation was that the group celebrating the birthday that day was younger than L, so L had the right to eat first!!!
These statuses received a lot of backlash and outrage from netizens. Over an hour later, this account continued to post an apology. “If the online community forces us, then our family apologizes, IS THAT OK?”
We, L’s family, apologize to the KIDS who had a birthday that day.
Sorry to the owner of the cake that L ate, we are willing to buy 10 cakes to compensate for them, buying the biggest ones for those KIDS to take home and SHARE WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY!
We sincerely apologize for our actions that could be considered wrong and inappropriate. We hope you will leave us alone” – this person wrote.
From many incidents that have garnered attention on social media, the online community speculates that the individuals behind this impersonating account are intentionally creating scandals to attract attention. Even though they have no connection to the people involved in the incident, they still post fabricated information just to increase likes and shares.
The story of L and her friends regarding the cake is no different, even though the original has confirmed no acquaintance with T.T.B, this person still desperately apologized on their behalf for what reason? Is it to gain likes or followers for their account???
But netizens are not a bunch of fools to be “led by the nose.” Many have recognized the scheme, and currently, the Facebook account T.T.B has been locked.
The cake story may come to a close as both L and the cake owner M.N have spoken up. The one at fault has apologized, and the one who felt wronged has accepted and moved on. As for those who are intentionally trying to cling on for likes, it’s probably best not to pay them any mind!
