Basically, he messages me. I have never met this man.” explained Sophie on TikTok. “He did a Jiu-Jitsu seminar at my husband’s Jiu-Jitsu school where he is a black belt. Literally never met this guy. Apparently there was some, I don’t know, beef or something with my husband. So what does this man do?
“You know, as any rational grown man would do, he messages the guys wife who he has a problem with. Calling her Miss Piggy because you know, why not call me fat? Asking if we have a security system, I’m not sure if that’s meant to be a threat or what, I don’t know.”
“I’m pretty sure this guys lives in another state. Then just kinda sends me another message about my husband being a baby or something, I don’t really know.”
