What is up with hoodiegate? We have the answers.

It all started when a young woman named Kelly Kim uploaded a "get ready with me" while spilling the tea. According to Kim in her now-deleted video, she ghosted a friend after that friend added Kim's boyfriend to her Close Friend Stories on Instagram, and she apparently started posting attention traps on her Story. That's a no-no!

Her ex-friend didn't stop there, though. She allegedly borrowed Kim's boyfriend's hoodie – which is fine, because she was cold – but then she started posting photos of herself wearing it and kept it. Interesting. She also called Kim's other friend, saying she thought Kim's boyfriend was cute. The ex-friend is either really nice or doesn't understand boundaries because she got Kim's boyfriend a sandwich. You can hear the rest of the story below.

Here's where it gets interesting. The ex-friend decided to go on TikTok to defend herself. Jo (@joannayeonlee) said that she only borrowed the hoodie because she was cold and thought it was cute, and the sandwich was an expression of her "gratitude" because Kim's boyfriend mounted her TV on the wall.

Tons of people are now fully riveted, and everyone's trying to figure out who was in the wrong. So far, a lot of people are not taking Jo's side.

I don't know, I'd be a little jealous too, if my friend took my boyfriend's hoodie, took selfies with it, and kept it. At the same time, maybe Kim should have approached Jo about this instead of exposing her to millions of people.
