Following the initial video, ‘succulentaddict8’ continued to post a series of videos to further elaborate on her viewpoint. However, the majority of these videos were met with criticism and negative feedback, with many condemning her for fat-shaming. Critics pointed out that her motives may have been driven by a desire for controversy, as she had a significant following on TikTok but lacked engagement on her less polarizing content. Her YouTube channel, focused on succulent care, also raised doubts about the sincerity of her fat-shaming videos.
The Apology
After facing backlash, ‘succulentaddict8’ deleted her fat-shaming videos and issued an apology on TikTok. In a tearful video, she admitted, ‘I think the reason I posted them was because there are some insecurities in me or some self-hate.’ She expressed regret for her actions, stating, ‘It’s just so toxic and I’m just so sorry about that.’ In her caption, she acknowledged her behavior, writing, ‘My last few videos were not okay, I deleted them and I feel so embarrassed for my nasty behavior. I’m so sorry if I made you feel any sort of way.’
The Consequences of her Actions
Despite her apology, netizens remained skeptical, with many questioning the sincerity of her words. Some comments suggested that her apology was insincere, and she only expressed remorse due to the swift and severe backlash she faced. The repercussions of her actions extended beyond social media, as her gym membership was revoked, and her employer received complaints about her behavior. Comments on her other videos reflected disappointment in her character, with users expressing surprise at her behavior and questioning her authenticity.
In a world where online opinions can spread rapidly, this incident serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of considering the impact of one’s words.
