There’s a special satisfaction in TikTok drama when the villain gets their just deserts, even if real life doesn’t always deliver such poetic justice. Take the case of the LA renter who thwarted her landlady’s attempt to double her rent, or the husband caught cheating with his wife’s mother. The latest saga in this riveting subgenre of TikTok content involves an ungrateful ex-crush whose selfish actions backfired spectacularly.
TikToker Matt Mahoney shared his ex’s shocking betrayal in a viral video, revealing that he had once made her an ashtray as a gift, only for her to sell it on Etsy for $160. In a follow-up video, Matt detailed the aftermath of his viral post, revealing that his ex had not only lost out on the profits but had also ended up homeless.
After Matt’s video went viral, his ex reached out to brag that the ashtray had actually sold for $170, not $160. She then posted a mocking video on her private stories, stubbing a cigarette out on her table. She even had the audacity to ask Matt to make her another ashtray to sell for profit.
However, karma caught up with the greedy ex when her roommates discovered Matt’s video and realized it was about her. They then uncovered her scheme of stealing their clothes and selling them on Depop. Despite losing her home over her thievery, the ex still refuses to take responsibility for her actions.
While some were shocked by the ex’s behavior, most were more interested in the $170 ashtray. “I need to see the ashtray lmao,” one commenter pleaded. Another shared a similar tale from their family’s history, where a homemade ashtray ended up being thrown at a neighbor’s kid.
Although Matt doesn’t reveal his ex’s real identity, her actions paint her as a real-life Eleanor Shellstrop from The Good Place. In a world where homemade ashtrays can lead to such chaos, perhaps we are all living in The Bad Place.
