A man got dragged on TikTok and sparked online controversy for his in-flight activities.
Tiktoker @sandyprudente posted a video on the popular social media platform that led to viral controversy over relationship dynamics.
The TikToker was on a flight when she noticed the man in front of her was watching some lewd videos of women while his girlfriend slept soundly next to him on the flight.

@sandyprudente it was more explicit tiktoks not just what he was watching rn 😭😭 #trustnoman #streets #foryou #yzxcba #ArbysDiabloDare #CloseYourRings
The video shows the man in the seat in front of the TikToker on said flight and captured him watching videos of scantily-clad women dancing.
The video was posted with a text overlay that said:
“Can’t trust no guy. Swear this man was watching girls literally nude while his girl was asleep."
She also noted the videos the man was watching weren't just of under-dressed women, but of fully nude women as well.
She captioned the TikTok:
“It was more explicit TikToks not just what he was watching right now."
The video has since gone viral, garnering over three million views.
It has also led to quite a lot of discourse over relationship dynamics, with some users criticizing the man for his actions while others defended him.
Some people viewed the man's actions as being unfaithful...

...while others gave the man the benefit of the doubt he was just watching TikTok and not doing anything unsavory without his girlfriend's prior knowledge.

The controversy brings up interesting ideas about how relationship norms have changed over time.
With many millennial and zoomer couples challenging relationship issues such as jealousy and possessiveness as well as the increase in the acceptance of different relationship types such as polyamory, relationships have noticeably changed in recent years.
While some people insist the man was breaching the trust of his partner, it is possible the relationship dynamic between the man and his girlfriend would allow the man to consume videos of nude women without issue.
However, as the controversy tells us, there is no way to know what the relationship between the couple in the video would allow. Maybe the man will comment on the discourse, but for now all people can do is speculate.
