TikToker Lea Dallas explained how one of her best friends had been catfishing their entire friend group by posing as their long-distance boyfriends they'd met online 'for over a year.'

A woman on TikTok went viral after revealing her best friend catfished her entire group of friends by pretending to be each of their long-distance online boyfriends they'd been dating for "over a year."

In her video, TikToker Lea Dallas explained via text overlay how it all went down.


The story begins:

"Me and my four best friends having a sleepover..."
"We sit and talk about our long-distance boyfriends who we all met on the same social media site."

When one of the friends decides to hit the hay, the TikToker decides to use that friend's computer to chat with her boyfriend.

She shares that when she goes to log in to the social media site, she finds "all of our boyfriends' names in the username section."

And that's when the creator discovered:

"Our best friend has been catfishing all of us for over a year."

Several also questioned why the friends only texted with their boyfriends throughout the yearlong course of their "relationships."

The TikToker replied to some comments sharing that the event transpired during the instant messenger era, long before FaceTime was a communication norm.

She also posted a video to justify her claim.

Dallas captioned the TikTok:

"The glory days but everyone was catfishing like no other 'cause it was easy back then."

The text at the beginning of the video read:

"And now presenting the 2000s"

The creator proceeded to display then-available methods of long-distance connecting, such as Myspace, Gaia Online and Instant Messenger.

Others wanted to know why the friend decided to catfish all of them, but in a response video, the TikToker revealed she was just as perplexed as the viewers.

Replying to @neuroticgood Sorry couldn’t pass up this sound ✨ But I think it was just a manipulation thing & to have control.

And, of course, the masses wanted to know how the TikToker dropped her best friend after finding out what she did—but Dallas disclosed they remained friends for "5+ more years."

@legendofleaa

Replying to @carlsgrapevan It’s mental illness innit #catfishing

While many wanted the TikToker to spill everything about the occurrence, Dallas decided to take the high road.

“I can’t share my side of the story without sharing their sides of the story."

That's quite noble of her...but what a terrible experience her "friend" put her through.
