Bride-to-Be Demotes Her Maid of Honor for Being 'Fat'

A series of text messages revealed an encounter between a bride and her former maid of honor. The bride demoted her cousin to the position of a bridesmaid because she was fat.

This month, a girl who goes by Lia on TikTok shared a text exchange with her cousin who is getting married. From the texts, it is clear that the bride-to-be has shamed her cousin. However, she showed no remorse for her words.

In the comments, the TikToker, who filmed the video while eating a Chick-fil-A, detailed that her cousin often fat-shamed her. Despite this, she still loved her because they are family and the bride is like a sister to her.

THE VIRAL TEXT MESSAGES

In the now-viral text messages, she asked her cousin if she was embarrassed. She replied: "Of what? Of telling you to go on a diet... no. It's my wedding." Lia then tried to make her cousin understand why she should feel embarrassed.

Lia addressed her cousin directly and said: "Alejandra, you demoted me from maid of honor because I'm fat." In response to this, the bride-to-be simply stated that the TikToker had no control over herself and could not handle a diet.

THE TIKTOKER'S SURPRISING REPLY

She abruptly ended the chat and stated: "I like people with discipline. You are still a bridesmaid. I'm going to sleep. Good night." The TikToker's reply to her cousin's demeaning words is what surprised many netizens.

The TikToker took the high road and didn't argue or press her cousin any further. She said: "Good night, love you." The clip, which has been viewed over 100 thousand times, garnered an array of replies. Many wanted Lia to stand up for herself.

THE ONLINE REACTION

One netizen wrote: "Girl. Respect. Yourself." Another shared this sentiment and added: "You'll regret not standing up for yourself more, love. Imagine a future daughter in this situation."

In the comments, the TikToker seemed to condone her cousin's behavior even more. She said: "She barely eats, so I feel like she projects ... She's not going to change, so I ignore the fat-shaming and accept her as she is."

SHE WAS UNINVITED

Someone else tried to make the TikToker see her worth. They said: "I can see how understanding and compassionate you are in the comments, but I am begging you to see that she has no respect for you and not to just take it."

In a follow-up video, Lia revealed that after more "wedding drama," she was uninvited to the big day. She said: "I'm not going, I'm returning my bridesmaid dress on Monday, and that's that." She also told users she was going to work on respecting herself more.
