Letting go of a friendship that’s lasted for years is never easy, but for some people, there is a clear breaking point. That was the case for a Texas woman who ended a 16-year friendship after her friend snatched her wig. She explained that she had invited two of her longtime friends, a brother and sister, to grab Japanese barbecue with her. At the restaurant, she noticed her male friend looked visibly miserable, but she brushed it off and tried not to let his mood ruin the evening. As the night went on, the plan was for the three of them to head back to her house, where the male friend was supposed to help her fix some shelves. When it was time to leave, the woman and the siblings were joking around together in the parking lot.
The Texas woman explained that while they were joking around, she put the man’s sister in a fake headlock, which prompted him to do the same to her in defense of his sister. The moment he did, she told him to stop and warned him that her wig wasn’t glued down and would fall if the joking continued. He did stop at that point, but it quickly became clear he had other intentions. When he released the headlock, he turned around and snatched her wig off anyway, the same wig she had just warned him about. The incident happened in the middle of the restaurant’s parking lot, meaning anyone nearby could see her without it. Making matters worse, he threw the wig onto the ground, where it was likely filthy, and the wig itself cost $800.
Understandably, she was left in complete shock by what had just happened. She immediately told her friend of 16 years that she would never speak to him again. He clearly did not take her seriously, saying it was fine and laughing in her face, which only made the situation worse. As she got into her car to leave, he had the audacity to knock on her window and ask if he was still going to her house, showing he still had not apologized or acknowledged what he had done. “You will never step foot in my house again,” she said in the video.
After this, the Texas woman expected her “friend” to reach out and apologize. That didn’t happen because days have passed without him contacting her to fix things. The first to contact her was his sister, with whom she is also friends. She clarified that she hadn’t cut off the sister just because she said she didn’t know what had happened. When the sister kindly offered to call her brother so he would speak to her, she refused, especially since he is a grown man who should do this without someone telling him to. He reached out days later, apologizing. She, however, doesn’t plan to forgive him. The apology wasn’t even convincing in her eyes. Not to mention that she was convinced he apologized only because his sister told him to.
“Hi. I would like to apologize for the way things ended when we last hung out at the Japanese barbecue place. I shouldn’t have pulled your wig off and when I did should have called and apologized. But by the way, you drove off. You were still upset and wanted to let things settle. I would like to properly make it up to you for my childish behavior. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make it up to you. If not, I completely understand,” was his apology. She did say at the end what would make her forgive him. Since it’s not appropriate to mention her one condition, let’s just say that she would never forgive him.
People Reacting to the Texas Woman Cutting Off Her Friend
Many people were shocked by what the Texas woman’s friend did to her. What was more shocking was the many comments urging her to forgive him. Those who didn’t say that included one woman who wrote, “I would’ve called the police I’m not even being funny.” Another woman said, “Intentionally embarrassing someone is too far snatching someone’s wig off is way too far!!!!” That was when one person added, “And it touched the floor too. Like the level of disrespect is wild.” One TikTok user also mentioned another upsetting detail as they said, “No. You telling him you’d never talk to him ever again and him saying IDC was loouuudddd.”
Since many people told the Texas woman to forgive the guy, one woman wrote, “Whew the comments didn’t pass the vibe check. Y’all are so forgiving when it comes to men (whether yall are in romantic relationships or just in proximity), I hope yall practice this same level of grace with your homegirls and family. That man was dead WRONG. Point, blank, period.” Those who defended him believed that cutting him off wasn’t necessary, as one person wrote, “Cutting him off was extreme.” Another person said, “I think the apology was fine? If that’s your friend why not let that be his first strike? It’s hard to find true friends nowadays.”
