Do you love you some drama? If so, you may have caught the viral video of a girl who gets into a fight with her mother over an affair she had with her chemistry teacher. It had many people wondering, is this video real?
The video opens with a teenager named Jessica singing off-key along with her computer to T-Pain’s Apple Bottom Jeans (Low). Her mother busts in to ask her if she slept with Mr. Wilson, her high school teacher. The conversation quickly elevates into a screaming match as Jessica denies the affair and her mother insists it happens.
Less than 30 minutes into the video, there’s name-calling and a slap to Jessica’s face. “I was failing chemistry,” Jessica says simultaneously admitting to the act and defending herself. But Mom doesn’t want to hear it.
“You’re out of the house,” she screams. Jessica responds with a blood-curdling scream before the video ends.
Is the Video Real?
If you were one of the many who were wondering if the video was real, it wasn’t. It was the brainchild of comedians @NotKatrinaa (Katrina Naficy) and @RonnieMillerComedy. They are known for using their humor to entertain viewers on various platforms.
“Hey, btw, this is fake. Katrina is not my mom and I haven’t been in high school for a long time. We were just goofin’ around and improvising so please don’t spend your time arguing with each other. Do something more worthy of your time like getting a really good donut, volunteering at an animal shelter, or listening to whatever Brene Brown has to say. Thanks,” Ronnie captioned the video.
