What happened to Ruby Franke?

On August 31, it was confirmed that Ruby was arrested under suspicion of two counts of aggravated child abuse. Her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt was also arrested on the same charges.

As per reports, the Santa Clara-Ivins Public Safety Department revealed that on Thursday they were notified about a distressed child asking for help from a neighbor. The juvenile was said to be “emaciated and malnourished, with open wounds and duct tape around the extremities.”

The evidence led officers to a nearby home where another juvenile in a similar condition was found and taken to the hospital. The Department of Child and Family Services also took four minors after a search was done of the home. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in connection to the incident. They are still in custody.

Shari Franke opens up about ‘justice being served’

Shari, who is the oldest daughter of Ruby and Kevin Franke, broke her silence on Instagram and spoke about ‘justice being served.’

Sharing a picture of a police vehicle, Shari wrote “Finally.” In another post, she wrote: “Today has been a big day. Me and my family are so happy that justice is being served. We’ve been trying to tell the police and CPS for years about this, and so glad they finally decided to step up.”

She continued: “Kids are safe, but there’s a long road ahead. Please keep them in your prayers and also respect their privacy.” She also requested her followers to send any videos they might have of problematic behavior noticed in any of the 8 Passengers or ConneXions’ content.

Ruby Franke has faced backlash before

In the past, Ruby had landed herself in trouble when she posted a video stating she would not take lunch for her 6-year-old after the child forgot to pick it up.

This video was further shared on other social media platforms such as TikTok and Twitter with fans expressing their anger towards Ruby. However, she never publicly addressed this.

Dundee-Crown High School locked down for hours after fake 911 call

“Upon receiving the phone call, the school contacted law enforcement and placed the school in lockdown,” an alert from the school’s website stated.

The call reportedly prompted a mutual aid response involving dozens of police from neighboring communities aiding in a room-to-room search of the school and evacuation of students.

However, school officials said that after a thorough investigation, it was determined that the threat was unsubstantiated, and that students and staff were never in danger.

Students were reportedly visibly shaken but left classes, and were then sent home with nobody injured.

“I saw people crying and running. It was scary, man,” one student reportedly said.

The lockdown was lifted just after 12 p.m on Wednesday.

What is swatting?

According to Education Week, swatting is “a term that refers to filing a false report with the aim of stoking chaos and proving a large law enforcement response.” These false reports often include threats of violence that require an immediate emergency response.

“Unfortunately, swatting has impacted many school districts in Illinois and nationwide. Swatting is illegal. It strains valuable law enforcement resources. It creates unnecessary panic within communities. And, it has significant consequences for the responsible parties,” the district said.

Superintendent releases statement after incident at Dundee-Crown

Community Unit District 300 Superintendent Susan Harkin issued a letter to the families of those affected by the incident.

“District 300 takes these incidents seriously and is working closely with law enforcement to identify the responsible party,” she said.

“While today’s threat was an unsubstantiated report, we understand and acknowledge the stress this type of situation can cause our families, students, staff, and community. Please know that our top priority is our students’ and staff’s safety and well-being. We take all reports of potential threats seriously and are making every effort to create an environment where students and staff feel safe.”

“I would also ask all parents to discuss the seriousness of swatting with your children.

The Kane County State’s Attorney’s office said in a statement: “We are aware of the situation at Dundee-Crown High School.  Until we are presented with an investigation to review for possible charges, there is nothing we can say other than we are grateful that everyone apparently is safe.”

Baby Alien appears on The Fan Bus

The Fan Bus contacted Baby Alien, who boasts more than 600,000 followers, and asked him to share a little about himself in a video which was shared on their TikTok and Instagram.

He revealed he is 23 and a virgin and heartbreakingly said: “It hasn’t happened. All these girls, they see me and they think I’m small… so they just underestimate me.”

Baby Alien added that nobody has ever given him a chance and said he “gets sad sometimes” that his body count is still zero, but has now stopped talking to girls completely.

Raunchy bus video with Aria Alectra

The Fan Bus connected him with adult entertainer Ari Alectra and the pair got down and dirty in the back of the bus, taking his v card.

A video on their Instagram shows the moment she surprised him with a FaceTime call revealing they would be getting intimate.

“Hi Alien, my name is Aria Alectra I’ve seen your video. I would like to take your virginity,” she says as he screams: “Whoa.”

The cameraman then asks what he would do if she was there right now and she climbs out of the trunk and surprises him.

“Ain’t no way bro,” the 23-year-old says in disbelief before running off the bus and bursting into tears. Then, things got raunchy.

The whole thing was filmed and is available to watch on The Fan Van’s OnlyFans account, but you have to pay $60 for the tape.

People are really ‘happy for him’

The encounter has been met with loads of support and everyone is saying how happy they are for the internet star.

One person wrote: “Happy for bro real talk. It’s rare to see that type of joy.”

“Everyone deserves to feel wanted and enjoy human touch. I’m happy for dude!” said another.

A third person added: “This what it looks like when your dreams come true.”

“I swear I almost cried being happy for him,” someone else commented.

‘Alien’ theories accompany Blue Moon 2023

Even the occasional Blue Moon isn’t spared of conversations about extraterrestrial lives with people making up theories about the unimaginable.

The second full moon of August 2023 is making its full appearance on Wednesday night and some of the pictures depicting the spectacle view in the night sky have led people to propose ‘alien‘ theories.

Although there is no evidence to support the claims, some think the Blue Moon was the perfect opportunity for aliens to invade Earth and the rare phenomenon is a sign that they are coming for us.

And a few others thought a “UFO” was spotted around the Super Moon when they mistook the plenty Saturn beside the moon for an unidentified flying object.

The misinformed social media users are under the impression that the moon appeared to be bigger and brighter for the second time in the month because non-human creatures are coming to get us, but there’s no truth to this.

What you need to know about the August Super Moon

When the full moon occurs for the second time in a month, it is called a Blue Moon. It is called a Super Moon when the celestial body is closest to its orbit around the Earth.

In 2023, the Blue Moon is expected to shine at its brightest as it’s more than 160 km closer to Earth than the full moon on August 1. What makes the occurrence more special is the placement of Saturn on the moon’s upper right.

The supermoon will be visible from most parts of the world and can be viewed with the naked eye if the weather is clear.

According to NASA, another Blue supermoon will not be visible until 2037.

Social media users suspect extraterrestrial activities

Several social media users driven by their wild imagination have associated the occurrence of the Blue Moon with the invasion of extraterrestrial lives.

One user wrote: “Go outside right now and check out the super blue moon over #Boulder County. The moon appears bigger and brighter tonight than any other time of the year because OH GOD THE ALIENS ARE COMING.”

“You think that maybe the aliens heard about the blue moon?? I’ll be on my rooftop pulling an all-nighter just in case,” said another.

A third user said: “Fingers crossed the aliens use this super blue moon as their opportunity to reveal themselves and end it all for us”

‘My dementia brain mother-in-law’ Reddit story explained

A popular Reddit story posted by a user named @Comfortable-Ninja-37 has resurfaced after 2 years.

In the post, the writer explains that she has been a dementia specialist caregiver for many many years.

The user claims that her mother-in-law acts wrongly towards her, always finding something to be angry and hysterical at her for – and therefore causing arguments when her husband sticks up for his wife.

The family suggests that the writer should always apologize to the mother-in-law, even if she disagrees that she is in the wrong, because she is starting to get dementia like her own mother.

Dementia is a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interfere with doing everyday activities. Though dementia mostly affects older adults, it is not a part of normal aging according to reports by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

However, the Reddit user continues to suggest that the mother-in-law is an alcoholic and the issues are only caused because she is intoxicated.

@Comfortable-Ninja-37 claims that her mother-in-law is only forgetful because she gets very drunk every day.

The writer uses the ‘AITA’ trend on Reddit to ask if she is in the wrong for wantingto cut off the family member as they have had enough of catering to a supposed alcoholic and an enabling family who will never stand up to the problematic mother-in-law.

Additionally, the user explains that while she may have shown the beginning signs of dementia – she is completely coherent and only forgets some things as does anyone.

With her many years of training and expertise, the writer doesn’t recognize dementia in her mother-in-law and rather sees alcoholism, excuses, and enabling.

AITA crazy Reddit post sparks debate

A Reddit user named @Sensitivemeanb*tch commented suggesting that the writer is not in the wrong by using the Reddit term ‘NTA’ and explained:

“NTA. She has been having a problem with you and you’re literally a dementia specialist. No one better than you to know whether someone is showing signs of dementia.”

@NoisyTummy also agreed with the writer and responded:

“You are trained to care for dementia patients, you know the difference between alcoholism and early dementia signs. You are suffering abuse from this woman, ship her off to a rehab or to a family member, so they can stop being so generous with your home.”

Another comment by @Individual_Ad_9213 added:

“NTA. Whether she’s suffering from the start of dementia or not, she seems to behave this way when drinking and, if I understand OP, this has been going on for years.”

@Jackninja5 used their experience after having a family member duffer with dementia to advise the writer of the post:

NTA. Forgetting one thing doesn’t mean dementia. I forget more than the average person yet I am fairly certain I do not have dementia (21 is quite young for dementia too). And even if she did have dementia, that’s no excuse to be a jerk. My grandfather had dementia before he died and he was still a very nice man with it.”

Some readers disagree with the writer

On the other side of the debate, some Reddit readers disagree with the writer and do in fact think she is in the wrong.

A user named @Milam1996 disagreed with the post and suggested that the mother-in-law may have dementia, suggesting that the intoxication may be related to the issue:

“Alcohol is a major cause of early-age dementia.”

@CajunKC advised the writer to seek help from a neurologist, or to give the mother-in-law specialized care at a memory care facility:

“No judgment to add cause this whole situation sucks for all involved but alcohol-induced dementia exists and doesn’t always follow the same pattern as a more typical progression of dementia. Alcoholic dementia and dementia aren’t mutually exclusive. Dementia can react differently for different people, my tough old broad grandmother (loved her dearly but tough old Midwestern broad is a very appropriate description) was one. We didn’t catch her diagnosis until late as she was always a brawler. She went down undefeated in the care facility. At the age of 83 my uncle’s 40 yr old GF tried to intervene in a family situation. Grandma gave her one helluva right hook. Knocked uncle’s GF down but didn’t knock her out cold (some improvement there). Another neurologist may be helpful. Or even specialized care at a memory care facility.”

A look at what happened to Tiara Wheeler

As per reports, the crash took place before 9:30 p.m. Monday when a dirt bike collided with an Audi and Tiara was a passenger on the bike.

The accident resulted in Tiara being thrown from her seat into the Audi. She was pronounced dead on the scene. The driver was taken to the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London and then airlifted to Yale New Haven Hospital. At the moment, his condition is unclear.

It has been reported that there were other riders on their first bikes and ATVs. However, they left the scene when the accident took place and did not help their companions.

Police call out other riders

Police noted that other riders had removed the dirt bike from the scene while choosing to ignore their injured companions. Police Chief Louis J. Fusaro said: “In addition to the wanton disregard for human life, the actions of removing the involved dirt bike from the scene has tampered with and impeded this investigation.”

He further noted: “What is most troubling is that someone who may have been traveling with them stopped for this crash, and rather than rendering aid to the critically injured parties, removed the dirt bike from the road.”

“Moreover, reckless behavior on the roadways poses a danger to those operators and innocent motorists. Unless this behavior stops, I fear more of these senseless tragedies will occur.” 

Tyson Wheeler breaks his silence

Tyson confirmed the death of his daughter and said: “She’s a real go-getter. She got things done. She was so bright. So articulate. So wonderful. So smart.”

Police are currently looking for a video of the incident to get more details on what happened.

Most shops and eateries are usually open, but what about Chick-fil-A, Popeyes and KFC? Read on to see whether the chain is open on Labor Day 2023…

Is Chick-fil-A open on Labor Day?

Yes! Chick-fil-A is always open on Labor Day, so you will be able to grab that post-barbecue snack. However, your local branch may be opening with shorter hours.

Last year, the fast-food chain revealed that most stores would be open from 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. So, it’s expected to be the same in 2023.

Usually, most Chick-fil-A stores close at 10 p.m., so that means branches are closing four hours early on Labor Day. However, it’s best to check with your local branch as opening times may vary.

Can you visit Popeyes on Labor Day too?

If you prefer Popeyes, that’s open on Labor Day too.

Most branches will be open for their usual operating hours of 10:30 am to 10 pm, so you will be able to grab a Chicken Sandwich or Tenders Meal all day.

However, again, it is best to call or visit your local Popeyes store as it’s possible that opening times could vary on Labor Day depending on the state.

KFC opening times on Labor Day 2023

KFC will be open on Labor Day as well, so you’ve got loads of fast-food chicken options to choose from on the holiday.

Like Chick-fil-A and Popeyes, KFC is open on all federal holidays including Labor Day, Independence Day, and Memorial Day.

Stores should be operating at normal hours, which are 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. but some may be closing earlier. Some KFC branches have different opening hours, so it’s best to check with your local restaurant first.

The chain only closes on two days of the year, Christmas Day and Thanksgiving, so you can get your chicken fix (almost) all year round.

Reddit user asks ‘AITA for completely altering my daughter’s face’

The OP brought her daughter up as a single mother since the time she was born. The daughter, who hasn’t been identified, is charming with a personality that often attracts friends.

The mother and daughter were inseparable and everything seemed to be going smoothly between them until the teenager said she wanted to get her nose pierced.

The OP was at first apprehensive about letting her 14-year-old daughter get a piercing and color her hair in bright shades. But she didn’t want to stop the teenager from experimenting with her appearance and style as it’s common for kids of her age.

However, it didn’t stop with a hoop in her nose. She asked for more and more piercings and ended up having seven of them on her face. But, the OP didn’t stop her daughter because she doing well in school despite hanging out with friends who leaned toward alternate fashion. So, she let her daughter have it.

The mother misses her daughter’s bare face which is now filled with metal, but still loves the wide smile on her.

Mother punishes rebellious daughter

The OP didn’t have an issue with her daughter’s piercing or the time she spent outside of their house until the school called her about the teenager missing classes regularly.

The girl’s grades had started to drop and when her mother told her to focus on school by spending less time with her friends, she got frustrated and walked away in the middle of a long conversation.

She even ran to her room and slammed the door after raising her voice at her mother during their first-ever argument.

The daughter grew more distant from her mother after their fight and the former started to spend less time at home. Her mother seized her phone when she came home past curfew once, further increasing the tension between them.

But things took a drastic turn one night when the OP woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check on her daughter, who was missing from her room. The mother started to panic and tried to call her daughter only to realize she had confiscated her phone earlier.

The OP gave herself 30 minutes to call the cops if her daughter didn’t show up by then. But the teenager returned in 15 minutes around 3:30 a.m. and tried to enter the house through the front door slowly without realizing her mother was waiting for her.

The daughter avoided eye contact and appeared to mumble when her mother was questioning her about a night out. The OP leaned closer to look into her daughter’s eyes when she smelled alcohol in her breath.

The mother couldn’t keep her emotions bottled up anymore after seeing the teen daughter drunk. She stretches her palm before her daughter and orders her to remove all of her piercings.

The teenager under the influence of alcohol curls up in a ball crying because she doesn’t want to get rid of her piercing and also because removing them without a professional’s assistance could turn out to be unsafe.

Users think the mother isn’t in the wrong

Many of the Reddit users assumed upon seeing the title, the OP had forced her daughter to undergo the knife to alter her appearance until they saw what she actually did. The majority of them have supported the mother in trying to discipline the teen.

“She’ll never love you the same way. that’s an unrealistic expectation but it’s time to be her mom and not her friend,” said one.

Another added: “My mom did the same thing but with hair color, I hated it at the time but looking back I understand.”

A third person said: “Title threw me off I started thinking she would RIP them off her but no NTA. They were removed safely and with just cause”

How does the Waffle House’s index work as an indicator?

The unofficial color-coded metrics scale at the Waffle House measures the impact of Hurricanes using different indicators.

There are three signs in different colors and each of them tells the severity of the storm.

• A green sign means the restaurant is serving at its full capacity and the damage in the area is limited.
• Yellow means the restaurant is running low on power and is using a generator to serve limited orders with a low food supply.
• A Red sign means the restaurant is closed and indicates severe damage in the given region, meaning people must evacuate due to unsafe conditions.

While speaking about Waffle House’s index, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate went as far as saying: “If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That’s really bad. That’s where you go to work.”

Is the restaurant closing for Hurricane Idalia?

The 24/7 food chain only shuts down under extreme conditions. Reportedly, four to seven restaurants in the path of Idalia have closed their doors.

According to Njeri Boss, Waffle House’s vice president of food safety and public relations, restaurants briefly closing are in Live Oak, Madison, and St. Petersburg.

Speaking of the potential closing until the storm passes, Njeri said: “The 24-hour Waffle House, at least for that time, will be no more.”

Storms expected to make landfall on the northern Gulf coast

Hurricane Idalia is expected to intensify on Tuesday before making landfall on Wednesday morning in Florida’s northern Gulf Coast.

The powerful storm is expected to surge as high as 15 feet, ” high enough to stack a wall of seawater halfway up the second floor of an average building”, reports CNN.

Idalia is expected to become a Category 3 hurricane before reaching the Big Bend region.

Addressing the natural disaster and the devastation it can bring to parts of the state, Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, said in a news conference on Tuesday: “That is storm surge that, if you’re there while that hits, it’s going to be very difficult to survive.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s dramatic transformation shocks followers

Jennifer Love Hewitt, an American actress and singer well known for starring in Party of Five, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Ghost Whisperer, and Disney Channel’s Kids Incorporated, recently took to Instagram to show off her new look.

In a video posted by her hairdresser @thehairdoll, the talented actress goes from having long blonde locks to a short red bob-style haircut when the camera cuts to the end result.

With over 1.4 million followers on the popular platform, Hewitt’s new style soon sparked a buzz on social media and she sure has shocked many of her fans.

Along with the comment section being filled with compliments, some fans are completely shocked with the launch of the new look and some even suggest that her facial appearance has changed along with her hairstyle.

Fans debate if the actress has had plastic surgery

Many comments on the Instagram post suggest that the star is now unrecognizable, an individual named @leemarie8250 asked:

“Where is Jennifer? That looks nothing like her.”

A debate has also begun over on Twitter. @CallMeMissRoss shared a screenshot of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s recent transformation and suggested that she may have had cosmetic surgery.

However, the user also slightly complimented the actress in her comment by stating “she looks great, but she also looks generic and has lost her character.”

@DHCmedia22 shared a GIF file showing a clip of Jennifer Love Hewitt acting and asked if she has had “plastic surgery” before suggesting that she looks very different.

GRV Media and HITC have reached out to Instagram for comments. But, we haven’t received any response at the time of writing this.

Born on 21 February 1979 in Waco, Texas, the celebrity is currently 44 years old and many people believe age is simply the answer to her alleged change in appearance.

A Twitter user named @CopperSiren responded to the GIF of the star and claimed that the clip is taken from a 2012 television show:

“Pretty sure this is from “The Client List”. So it’s about 13 yrs old.”

Another individual agreed, @yungtakoyaki commented suggesting that the clip is simply just showing a younger version of the celebrity:

“This is from a 12-year-old TV show, fam. She was early 30s here.”

@trufflesrheaven also suggested that the reason for her difference in appearance is due to her age:

“No. It’s called age.”

A fan named @tinch10734 argued that the star has not had surgery in their comment:

“No surgery, Jennifer has been overendowed since her teen movie days.”

@boston_sp0rts20 shared their confused opinion, indicating that the actress looks no different:

“I don’t get it she basically looks the same.”

@richyrich323 disagreed with the surgery statement and suggested that her appearance only looks different due to a filter used on social media that has supposedly edited her face:

“Nah. It’s the filter. I was thinking the same. The first part of this video she looks like herself lol.”

Gadsden flag meaning and origin explained

The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a timber rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike.

The flag is named after Christopher Gadsden, a South Carolina delegate to the Continental Congress and brigadier general in the Continental Army who designed the flag in 1775 during the American Revolution.

The Conversation explains that Gadsden intended the design as a warning to Great Britain not to trample the liberties of its subjects. The rattlesnake was seen in Charleston, South Carolina as a “noble and useful” animal that gave warning before it attacked.

There are no racist implications based on the flag’s design or aims alone. However, Christopher Gadsden was also a famous slave owner and trader when the American Revolution started. This is where the debate unravels, combined with incidents in modern history where white-supremacist groups have used the flag as a point of representation.

Iowa State University graphic design scholar Paul Bruski writes:

“Because of its creator’s (Christopher Gadsden) history and because it is commonly flown alongside ‘Trump 2020’ flags, the Confederate battle flag and other white-supremacist flags, some may now see the Gadsden flag as a symbol of intolerance and hate – or even racism,”

Young boy’s school bag patch gets him kicked out of class

Shown in a situation caught on camera, a seventh-grade student at The Vanguard Secondary School and his parents were taken into a meeting on Monday 28th August with an assistant school counselor.

The Vanguard School is a public charter school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, and is chartered with the Harrison School District 2.

Administrators said that the banner is associated with “slavery” and “the slave trade.”

When asked what would happen if the boy didn’t remove the flag from his backpack, the administrator said she was worried he is missing “so much class” and advised the boy to remove his things from his backpack and carry them around himself.

She says “we can’t have that [flag] around other kids,” as per the recording.

Connor Boyack, president of Libertas Institute, a free market think tank in Utah, first posted the video and documents in a thread of Tweets explaining the situation.

Boyrack claims that the young boy got the idea from aTuttle Twins book, a series of books designed to introduce children to a variety of real-world social studies concepts,Created by Connor Boyack and published by the Libertas Institute.

According to the director, the student was breaking a rule related to drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or weapons, as shown in the highlighted statement below.

In the video, the student’s parents ask if perhaps the director is referring to “the Confederate flag”, however the response states:

“I am just here to enforce the policy that was provided by the district, and definitely you have every right to not agree with it.”

Alleged ‘racist’ symbol sparks Twitter debate

Once the footage was shared via social media, responses began to flood the timeline, and an Internet debate was soon sparked.

The school cited the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which admitted that the flag “originated in the Revolutionary War in a non-racial context” before saying:

“However, whatever the historic origins and meaning of the symbol, it also has since been sometimes interpreted to convey racially-tinged messages…”

An image showing the Gadsen flag has been shared on Twitter, questioning whether it is racist and the comments are filled with debate as some agree and others disagree.

A user named @gigi_3712 stated “I suppose that it is controversial” while others such as @killrainbow argued “I don’t think so.”

Vivek Ramaswamy suggested that the idea that the Gadsen flag is rooted in racism is “beyond ridiculous”.

A journalist named Will Tanner argued his opinion on the meaning of the flag in his Tweet: “Now they’re kicking kids out of school for the Gadsden flag, a symbol from the American Revolution”

‘UFO’ over Hudson Valley was indeed a rare sighting

One of the reasons why the supposed incident, which is believed to have occurred between 1982 and 1986, is so popular is because of the way the unidentified object has been described by the eyewitnesses.

The “UFO” was seen by multiple people in Hudson Valley and the majority of them described it as colorful, with multiple lights surrounding its girth.

An interview clip circulating on TikTok presents some of the most fascinating details about the supposed flying object through the eyes of the people who claim to have seen it.

One alleged witness said the UAP was nearly the size of a football field and looked like a “Christmas tree in the sky”, while another described it as a “city of lights”.

The public called for the government’s intervention as some were driven by the thought that aliens piloted the unidentified spacecraft.

Ufologists and believers are pushing for explanations

The UFO hearing with the United States Reps touched on multiple supposed UFO sightings, pushing the military and intelligence agencies to disclose information about UAPs.

Investigators including Dr. Steven Greer and former CIA John Ramirez have publicly spoken about the possible existence of aliens and the need for the government’s intervention as mankind is unaware of “impending” events.

Meanwhile, Peruvian villagers were petrified by predator-like “aliens” linked to “Face-Peelers‘ from mythology, only to realize they were actually illegal miners with jetpacks.

Similarly, another mind-boggling video on TikTok claims to show photos of the alien humanoid “Mona Lisa” apparently found in a crashed UFO on the moon. Whether to believe it or not is up to you because the wild claims lack evidence.

AITA for telling my fiancee to get her insecurities in check story explored

In the post, the Reddit user reveals he is 25 and engaged to his 24-year-old fiance, Amy. Like every other engaged couple, the pair have been planning their wedding and have had a conversation about who should be invited. They end up deciding that all of their co-workers should be part of the celebration as they have been working in their respective companies for a long time. While Amy agrees, she is quick to point out that there is one person who she doesn’t want at the wedding and it is Tally.

According to Amy, Tally was “the type of person to try to sway taken men and be the center of attention.” While the author did not agree, he did not want to disappoint his soon-to-be-wife and agreed to not include Tally. However, he informed her that he would break this news to her privately. Amy agreed and the two quickly went about their business.

Things changed shortly after when the author went to his office. He noticed that Tally limited their conversation and other people in the office also seemed distanced from her. It was unusual as they all interacted well. It is later that the author finds out his fiance came to the office and gave out the invitations but didn’t give one to Tally and told her that “you aren’t invited, women like you aren’t welcome.”

Tally’s life changed because of Amy

In the post, the author revealed that Tally struggled in office as people looked at her differently after the incident took place.

He even tried talking to her but things did not go as planned. The writer pointed out that Tally was considering leaving work because she found it hard to carry on with her duties.

The post concluded with the author writing that he was going to speak to Tally’s manager to sort things out. He further added that the wedding was put on hold.

Users react to the story

People were quick to point out that the fiance was in the wrong and showed many red flags. One user wrote: “Red flags everywhere. I’d put your wedding on hold. This behavior won’t improve.” Another added: “Amy is a bully, capricious, and jealous woman. I can’t imagine doing this in a professional setting. Or ever. Run.”

“Ready for marriage? I’m doubting she’s ready for polite society,” read one more comment. “No way could I marry someone that petty and cruel. It would color how I saw them forever,” said one more.

“The red flag metaphor is meant to be a warning sign of bad behavior. This is just straight-up psychopathic behavior,” noted another.
