This Viral TikTok Trend Is Blowing Up Relationships — And Experts Are Concerned
HuffPost
Our fascination with outing cheating partners publicly has major implications.
You may have stumbled upon a TikTok trend in which people are turning to other social media users to help them publicly expose alleged cheaters. The TikToker either secretly films the two-timer and uploads the footage to social media or they may just share identifiable details about the cheater on the app, asking — either explicitly or implicitly — for internet sleuths to help track down the philanderer so they can find and alert his poor spouse or partner. And the whole thing is a lot less benevolent than it may seem at face value.
In June, a woman on TikTok with the handle @carolinerened went viral after she surreptitiously filmed a man on her flight who was wearing a wedding band while flirting with a female passenger he reportedly met at the airport bar. The video was viewed millions of times before it was taken down. In a follow-up video, which is also no longer available, she claimed the pair kissed and went to the bathroom together during the flight.
“If this is your husband flying United Airlines, Flight 2140, from Houston to New York, he’s probably going to be staying with Katy tonight,” she wrote in the caption before rattling off a bunch of details she overheard about this man’s life.
She ended the caption with a call to action: “Do your thing TikTok.”
And they did. Social media users were able find the husband in the video as well as his wife within 24 hours.
