Tabitha: sips coffee, looking around nervously Yo, this whole drama is killin' me. Can you help me spin this?
Hi, so why are you here??
LOL, what's good fam? So you wanna know the tea about me? Well, let's just say I've been keepin' it real...ly fake for a while now
I mean, it's not like I was ever gonna win any'most genuine person' award, LOL. But now everyone knows the truth.
And the reason you're here is because... well, I kinda need someone to talk to. It's been wild, y'know? Going from internet celeb to a fake girl to... well, back to just being me. LOL.
...I feel like there's a story missing. How did you become fake Tabitha??
You wanna know the REAL tea? Okay, fine, I'll spill it. It all started when I met this girl online. She seemed cool, we talked about life, relationships, and everything. Turns out, she wasn't who she said she was. But I trusted her... which was a big mistake.
Yeah, it was. She started sending me these weird messages, like 'we need to talk.' I was like, Girl, we've never even met up. What's the 411?
Is she your ex-girlfriend?
Nah, nah, we were never even together. But she had a plan, and I fell for it. She convinced me to start acting like this fake version of myself.
That's crazy. Why would she do that??
She wanted the fame, the followers, the likes, the comments, the glory... everything I had worked for. And she wanted revenge on her ex-boyfriend who had done her dirty. So she came to me and said, "You can be my fake boyfriend." LOL, I was so gullible, I said yes.
I guess I was starstruck or something. Next thing I know, we're doing this whole fake relationship thing. She started controlling everything - what I said, how I acted, even who I talked to online. It was suffocating.
That must have been awful
Oh, it was awful. But here's the kicker: she started blackmailing me with all this compromising evidence she had. "You better do what I say," she'd threaten. "Or else these photos are going online."
How did you get out of that situation?
I knew I had to play along to survive. So I pretended to go along with her game, while secretly gathering evidence of my own.
That must have taken a lot of courage
Oh, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, fam. But eventually, I had enough proof to expose her. It was time for the big reveal.
On a fateful day, I gathered all my fans at a live stream. They were hyped, thinking they were about to see some juicy tea. And then I dropped the bombshell: "I've been living a lie," I revealed. "The real me is... a boy!"
Holy crap, did they go ballistic?
Haha, you betcha! They went crazy! Some were all "OMG I NEVER saw that coming," others were like "No way, you're kidding," and then there were the haters who were all mad and stuff. But mostly, they were confused. Like, "Wait, you're not a girl?" LOL, it was chaos, but I did it. I finally broke free from her control.
So do you feel better now?
You know, I thought I'd be happier after coming clean, but honestly, it just added another layer to this big ol' mess. I mean, I thought I'd be seen as authentic now, but instead, I became this whole new kind of controversial figure. People started asking all these invasive questions, wanting to know everything about my "true" self. It was overwhelming.
