A Kenyan man sparked controversy after leaving a woman he had arranged to meet via TikTok waiting by the roadside, claiming she looked unlike what he had anticipated.
Instead of approaching her, he recorded the woman from inside a parked car and shared the footage online. The woman, unaware she was being filmed, was seen repeatedly checking her phone while waiting.
What Happened?
The man explained to his companion that although they had connected on TikTok and agreed to meet, upon seeing her in person, she did not meet his expectations. He remarked on the use of filters on social media, implying she looked significantly different from her online photos.
When asked if they knew each other personally, he confirmed they did not, and then chose to leave without making contact.
Public Reaction
The video circulated widely on social media, provoking mixed reactions. Many users expressed sympathy for the woman and criticized the man for publicly embarrassing her instead of cancelling the meeting respectfully.
- "Why not just ghost her? Why embarrass her too?" commented one user.
- "I feel sorry for the lady," said another.
The incident has reignited conversations about honesty and respect in online dating interactions.
