The internet has been buzzing for the past few days over a clip showing a popular streamer casually sneaking a bite of a birthday cake from the next table. It seemed like a harmless prank, but the streamer didn’t expect the joke to come off as rude. She faced a wave of backlash, eventually locking her Facebook and turning off her phone.
Things got even messier when some people claiming to be her relatives suddenly spoke up. Instead of calming the situation with an apology, her aunt and cousin added fuel to the fire with defiant and provocative comments.
Let’s recap the key moments of this viral story!
Streamer casually steals cake from another table, even records herself laughing
The clip, just over 10 seconds long, quickly took over TikTok and Facebook. The streamer, with dyed hair and trendy outfit, reaches over to the neighboring table and steals a piece of their birthday cake, then happily enjoys it.
She didn’t stop at just one bite. When the birthday group moved the cake to another spot, she kept taking bites and laughing, clearly feeling pleased with herself.
It seemed like she just wanted to joke around and even had a friend record the clip. But most people online found the prank tasteless and disrespectful.
Fake relatives jump in, making things worse
After the clip went viral, the streamer quickly locked her Facebook to avoid the backlash. But while she stayed quiet, some accounts claiming to be her relatives jumped in to defend her.
Instead of calming things down, her “aunt” sparked outrage by saying the family taught her not to associate with poor people because it would damage their reputation.
Another account, claiming to be her cousin, said she’s very polite and respectful at home but then added more fuel by explaining the prank was meant to be friendly because the birthday group was younger.
He said, “I heard the birthday group were all kids, so she just wanted to joke and make friends. Before eating the cake, she asked permission and got it. She even had her boyfriend film it for fun. But the kids reacted by moving the cake like she ate it all.”
“Sorry everyone, our family isn’t poor and can buy as many cakes as we want. She’s just friendly and playful, thinking everyone is a friend.”
The streamer herself later apologized to the birthday group and denied any relation to the people claiming to be her aunt and cousin.
“I’m L, the person in the clip who took the cake without much thought. When I saw the birthday group blowing out candles, I asked permission and was allowed. They even offered to cut me a piece but I declined because I didn’t plan to eat it. I just wanted everyone to have fun but I didn’t expect things to go this far.”
“I was immature and impulsive, and I was wrong. I sincerely apologize to the birthday group and the cake owner for ruining the party.”
“To the birthday host: Please forgive me. I don’t even know who you are. If possible, I want to meet you in person to apologize properly and offer a small gift as a token of my regret.”
Some netizens remained harsh, but others felt she was young and made a mistake, and appreciated her apology.
Birthday girl accepts the apology
After days of drama, M.N, the birthday girl whose cake was taken, accepted L’s apology.
Born in 1998, M.N said L messaged her to apologize, and although she wasn’t sure if it was really her, she chose to forgive.
“I’m the birthday girl in the viral clip. I was upset my birthday wasn’t perfect, but the apology means a lot. My friends and I have accepted it. I hope she grows from this experience.”
With the birthday girl forgiving her, hopefully the online hate will die down and the streamer learns a valuable lesson about respect.
But the drama didn’t end there. The self-proclaimed aunt kept posting defiant messages, even after the apology was made public.
She insisted her “niece” was innocent and blamed the younger birthday group for causing the fuss. She later posted a sarcastic apology, saying her family would buy 10 cakes to make up for it and demanded the internet leave them alone.
“If the whole internet forces us, then our family apologizes, okay? We apologize to the kids who had the birthday that day. We apologize to the cake owner. We’ll buy 10 cakes to make up for it, the biggest ones, so they can share with the whole family.”
“We’re truly sorry for the rude behavior. Please leave us alone.”
Many suspect these accounts are fake and just trying to stir up drama for likes and attention. The streamer has denied knowing these people, and the “aunt” account has since been locked.
Netizens aren’t fooled and have called out the fake relatives for trying to drag the story on. With the real parties having spoken, it’s time to move on.
The cake drama can finally be closed with the streamer’s apology accepted and the birthday girl forgiving her. The rest is just noise from attention seekers.
