A viral video capturing a young woman's attempt at revenge against her boyfriend has resulted in a fairly heated debate amongst TikTokers.
The 16-second video captures Sarah Lupica, (who uses the TikTok handle (@sarah.lupica) filming a concert on a flat screen tv.
The brief overlay accompanying the short video suggested Lupica was trying to make her boyfriend jealous by making him believe she was at the concert.
"Him: Where are you?"
"Me [because] I'm mad at him."

The short and simple video managed to get over 14 million views since it was posted on New Year's Eve.
It also received over 21 thousand comments, with TikTokers having a very divided opinion.
Several felt it was a waste of Lupica's time and energy, guessing there was no way her boyfriend would believe she was actually at the concert, and questioning the video’s quality.

Others, however, applauded Lupica, with some even saying they might attempt the same thing in the future.

One particular comment, calling women manipulative and toxic, got over 115 thousand likes, and sparked a separate, almost equally heated debate all on its own, receiving over one thousand comments.

Several TikToker's were curious as to how Lupica's revenge video actually turned out.
She posted the footage she captured in her earlier video.

The 23-second follow up has received over 2 million views, but once again found fellow TikToker's divided on its merits.
Some found themselves pleasantly surprised by its quality, and that Lupica was successful in her revenge, leading others to seriously consider doing this themselves.

Others were less convinced, pointing out the lack of noise from the sizable crowd present at the concert.

The millions of views each video received, not to mention the thousands of comments, would seem to be enough to qualify Lupica's project as a success.
Whether her revenge was successful, however, might depend on whether or not her boyfriend saw the TikTok video of her recording the concert.
