TikTok creator describes revenge after best friend dated her crush
A TikTok creator’s account of taking revenge on her best friend after she began dating the person the creator liked has sparked debate across the platform. In a video posted on November 12, @cxtenn said her best friend, identified by the pseudonym Jessica, started dating a person the creator had a crush on.
The video has attracted 289,000 views, more than 40,000 likes and 428 comments. @cxtenn explained that she regularly talked with Jessica about Apple, the name she used to protect the man’s identity. Jessica reportedly encouraged her to speak with Apple, but the creator later discovered that Jessica and Apple were dating.
According to the account, @cxtenn frequently saw the new couple being intimate in a school hallway. She said she responded by fabricating screenshots of text messages designed to make it appear that Jessica was cheating on Apple. The creator then circulated the screenshots among their social circles and said she acted surprised when classmates told her the next day that Jessica was allegedly unfaithful.
Alleged plan led to relationship with Apple
The plan eventually resulted in @cxtenn and Apple dating, according to the TikTok story. The situation came full circle when Jessica confronted the creator for “dating her ex,” while seemingly overlooking the creator’s view that Jessica had first betrayed her trust by dating Apple.
The relationship between @cxtenn and Apple later ended. The creator said Apple then got back together with Jessica, but that reunion lasted only two days before he left Jessica for another woman.
Viewers question the story and the friendship
The video prompted viewers to debate whether the alleged revenge was justified and to ask whether @cxtenn remained friends with Jessica. Some users said they had experienced similar situations involving friends and romantic interests.
“And ppl wonder why I never tell anyone who I like….,” one user wrote. Another added, “Ain’t no way she chose a man over u literally u such a vibe.”
Another viewer noted that the post’s caption read, “not my story,” prompting questions about whether the events had happened to @cxtenn personally. The creator did not respond to those comments or clarify whether the account was her own experience.
Why This Matters
The story highlights how personal relationship conflicts can quickly become public narratives on TikTok, where viewers often respond to accounts that cannot be independently confirmed. In this case, the engagement around @cxtenn’s video was driven by questions about friendship, romantic loyalty and whether fabricating evidence was a justified response.
The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the events described by TikTok creator @cxtenn. The reported sequence of events is based solely on her personal account shared in the video, and the unresolved caption adds uncertainty about the story’s source.
