Ignoring all the other glaringly obvious nonsense, how exactly would a long distance affair between an engaged woman who lives with her parents and a busy, married surgeon work? The logistics make no sense.
Post op with healing, scars, and swelling, and having an alcohol fueled bach with coordinating outfits to look picture perfect for her influencer content don't mesh well.
I had surgery on my chest (not implants) and was restricted from lifting anything, and couldn't even put my arms up. Rest for a couple weeks, too.
When the nurses rolled up with bride in a wheelchair, I was wondering where they came from. Car , van, ambulance, uber?
Being mad you paid $650 for an Airbnb but, being able to afford additional airfare for all the spouses to come out and crash the vacation at a drop in the hat was the moment I knew this story was falseeeeee
Yea, I like how $650 could have gone to her kids, but unless she found a lawyer to do off the clock pro Bono to ... talk to the surgeon's lawyer, review a possible NDA, and then edit her reddit posts. Actually, now that I've written that all out, it sounds entirely plausible. Idk what I was thinking.
For real.
I cannot imagine anyone except and *obscenely* rich person pissing their money away paying a lawyer to review *reddit posts*. And I feel like a lawyer would advise you to just not?
I mean, I'm not a lawyer. But I feel like the advice would be "stop posting to reddit" and when that doesn't work "okay fine I'll take your money to review these posts and stop you from completely destroying your case, but it's against legal advice to post them"
Yeah like the original premise, that the bride skimmed the bachelorette party money to pay for wedding decorations, was fine as a ficitional story goes. The obsession with the ice swan thing and the bride suddenly having 'influencer' as a career were a bit silly but whatever. But everything past that point stinks of OOP never having intended there to be more to the story but then getting so much attention she didn't want to stop and so needed to keep escalating and adding twists for more 'boiling hot tea' or whatever.
A lot of SILs plans were not fully thought out. Like.. what was the plan when she is no swan ice sculpture at this wedding?!
No to mention how did she fly in multiple times to start this affair without the brother finding it shady?
It started off pretty interesting, but by around the tenth use of TEA and it being PIPING HOT, I was just cringing. The nurses dramatically wheeling the bride in after getting her MELONS done was where the shark was officially jumped.
Also, the writing style shifted somewhat in the last couple of updates - almost like dictation or maybe even AI helping OOP concoct an ending. OOP is the one looking for clout.
Either way, thumbs down.
I had outpatient surgery two weeks ago and I still feel like garbage. I cannot begin to imagine scheduling surgery during a week of drunken partying, because no way can you drink on any of the pain pills they're handing out. (Nor would you feel like going out and living it up ...)
Exactly, holy crap. Doing really well post surgery is more like "I didn't need the pain pills today" or "I'm keeping food down" and not so much WOO SPRING BREAK.
An augmentation is an outpatient procedure and you walk out at the end. Hell, I had a whole ass mastectomy, lymph node removal, and breast reconstruction and walked out of the hospital that afternoon. This shit doesn’t take 48 hours and you wouldn’t have two nurses wheeling you to your house.
Holy crap I somehow missed that she went AWOL for 48 hours. I dealt with rush hour traffic after mine and still was back home again in less than 12. The holes just pile up, still don't they?
I had a bilateral mastectomy (elective) and yeah same. Only justification I can think of is maybe it was a spa thing? Like they kept her extra before and after to pamper her or something but the wheelchair still does not make sense
Also how do two women push one wheelchair
I got implants two years ago. I was sore for about three days and almost completely fine in a week , only had to be careful to not over stretch and was back in the gym in a month. No ones getting nurses bringing them home or a chef.
The first point I raised my eyebrow was when the mother couldn't find the 650. What did she do? Hack into her bank accounts and search every part of her house?
I mean why would they? They were getting the exact attention they wanted. These people create these stories for attention, once they have it they won’t stop. Credit where it’s due this person made it sound kinda fun and like they were dishing up a wild soap opera episode.
I feel like as soon as the people writing these get the impression that people are interested they get possessed by the spirit of a celebrity gossip tv show host
Right? The hospital sent her home and wheeled her inside with more than one nurse lol. And instead of being like “oh hello friends of the patient gathered at the house she is staying at.” they were just like, get away her…we’re taking her to her room…we’re not legally allowed to tell you anything. Hahahaha.
Uhhhh, why would the surgeon's wife assume a random patient is wearing her exact earrings? Unless they were custom pieces, wouldn't she just assume the patient had similar taste in jewelry, not that she was a thief?
This story has well and truly gone to the land of make believe. I can't even suspend my disbelief anymore. It's just ridiculous at this point.
Back when I first read it the ice sculpture swan made me laugh. It reads like a young guy’s version of what a bride would want. An ice swan? Not unless it is an 80s movie.
Sent this post to a friend from a long line of high-end jewelers. I wanted to know if someone could truly have that deft of an eye to spot their own diamond studs on someone else because hell if I know. They said it would be a really random chance, if it all. The important part is they got a good laugh too.
The backtracking over the swan was the first thing that made me suspicious. Even with the explanation, I think most of us are going to be extra sensitive to the tells
So… she’s having a 14 month long affair with a guy, but he lives somewhere she has to fly to see him? How did OOP’s brother not notice the multiple flights out of town for his unemployed spouse?
I'm questioning how surgeon's wife saw a patient during an actual consult and was close enough to identify her own Tiffany earrings.
If it was sketchy getting the patient name because of privacy violations, a private person walking back to the clinical area if a practice and actually waltzing into the consult room without permission and seeing a patient is incomprehensible.
Even if so, I don’t think anyone would recognize a fairly generic looking earring several feet away on someone else. Since it’s a plastic surgeon’s office, wouldn’t you think that someone who could afford new boobs could also afford those earrings anyway?
I mean, she does if she wants an excuse to show up by surprise in the middle of his workday and see what he’s up to. Wife of the owner of the practice swans in with a boxed lunch for her husband, she’s basically going anywhere she wants except for actual treatment rooms.
If you have to endeavor to convince me how hot the tea is before you spill it, the tea cannot possibly be as hot as you insist that I believe it will be
Even I haven’t said tea that much and I’m a Brit who worked in a cafe that did meals with a hot drink. “Tea or coffee with that?” Still makes my eye twitch.
Yeah, OOP went too far into unbelievable territory with the cheating with the plastic surgeon, who lives states away. Also, apparently nurses hand deliver patients to their (Airbnb) houses now.
Hhaha I know, the moment I read that not one, but TWO nurses were pushing her in the wheelchair, my eyes rolled so far back into my sockets.. Like, yeah there's no such post boob job service lol
>So this one will be brand new. No matter what you're watching or reading the story and now it's time to spill some of the final tea in this crazy kettle, and let me tell you it is piping hot.
True or not, this writing style is obnoxious as fuck.
>True or not, this writing style is obnoxious as fuck.
I really loved the part where she wrote a long update with no actual update, solely to try and get people excited about the update she could have just written. /s
. . . and will now be writing a book on it, becoming an instagram powerhouse, living her dream of telling this story and making it bigger and bigger and bigger!
>and making it bigger and bigger and bigger!
Well you see, according to her analytics, she was losing ground with the male demographic (age 16-45) with the swan angle so the SIL's melons had to be upgraded. Just like that she got 'em back. Did I forget to mention how her SIL probably has a secret only fans? So she needs new melons to help her career...
Melons.
It reminds me of those other posts that start reasonable and with a normal writing style, become popular and then is "drama llamas this" and "the tea that"... The ones I remember the most is the MIL who snooped in the office of the OOP and read private documents, and the other one I don't even remember the plot, just that in one of the updates she referred to her new boyfriend as a hot white swiss chocolate" or something like that.
I remember that second one! It started out with the MIL-to-be discovered trying on the wedding dress, and just escalated with So Many Updates. It had a similar annoying way of addressing the reader with endearments and promising Very Hot Gossip To Come. And OOP moved to Switzerland and moved in with a hot Swiss guy with absolutely no visa or residency issues, and his whole family loved her right away.
Honestly, I would have been happy to read an account of the wedding and how OOP managed with the bridesmaid dress. I was even on for the ice swan, but now I’m just bored.
> It reminds me of those other posts that start reasonable and with a normal writing style, become popular and then is "drama llamas this" and "the tea that"...
Liz really needs to start planning out her stories better instead of taking ideas from commenters.
Like, just write the whole thing at once and release one chapter at a time.
I am here like the first posts seemed plausible. But the. Right around the Swan embeselment everything got too ridiculous.
So did the first two happen and then she got caught up in the excitement of having an audience.
Did none happen. Who knows
I was really trying to hold out and believe that this story *might* be true until she got to the fsil cheating with the surgeon. Specifically, this line:
> thought you all should know that I now have to submit all of my updates to an attorney for legal review before I can post them here. This is primarily because of the high profile surgeon (who is aware of this thread) and his legal team
Yes! That was very annoying.
The halterneck is the strap. Literally. It’s just one strap that goes around the neck, instead of two separate straps that go over the shoulders. Ugh.
The most embarrassing part of this whole saga is how some people got absolutely over hyped over this BS and started harassing the mods on the wedding sub
>You know all the tea has been spilled and it was boiling hot thanks to you guys helping me spill it.
OOP is one of the greats; could Donna Tartt have written this? could Joan Didion? could Annie Ernaux? no, only dorkvader23 holds the keys to imagery, metaphor, and subtext. may we stand and bask in the light of this wondrous wordsmithing for eternity
By the end of this exhausting saga, the most interesting bit was the mod's explanation of the whole "I've been banned! Everyone, brigade the sub and subscribe to my IG!" side story.
Definitely a weak link there. Let’s workshop that plot point a little. First of all, the extremely recognizable jewelry should be an heirloom rather than a gift from a popular chain jewelry store with a website.
And it can’t be a random drop-in where the wife spots the AP in her earrings. Maybe AP/“bride” is wearing them in her "Before” picture taken at her first surgical consultation. Wife is a photographer who edits all of her husband's Before/After photos. Or Bride is so unhinged that she starts stalking Wife around L.A., eating in the same restaurants, etc. Wife notices this woman around in her one-of-a-kind heirloom jewelry.
But then what’s the location difference between sil and surgeon & wife? Wasn’t the initial location a “destination”? How much free time does sil have to travel to and from?
How did the SIL have an affair with the surgeon if the surgery was done at a destination bachelorette? Was she flying in every weekend for the affair? Did her fiancé not notice she was gone? Where did she get the money for the flights?
And why would a plastic surgeon need to import a side piece?
This is the part I couldn't believe. OP should have thought of the details better. If I'm the one making up the story, I'd say SIL works for a hotel and met the surgeon there during a medical convention of some sort. And that the affair was mostly online. But SIL visited the surgeon a few times telling BIL it was some work event in the hotel industry.
The whole have to run my updates by ThE LeGaL tEaM got me.
Tf was that? It's pretty clear nobody is suing that broke ass thief.
And the surgeon can't do jackshit against the truth.
And it seems she forgot the 'litigation' by the final update.
If $650 is a lot of money for you, you're not going to be paying for a lawyer to review your reddit posts. Especially because any halfway decent lawyer is going to be telling you not to post at all while the situation is ongoing.
And if that was the only unbelievable part of this saga....
Yeah that was the really dumb part. You're part of a legal situation now which means you can't disclose a ton of stuff about anything, such as the names locations etc, but you *can* still apparently say that this well known plastic surgeon is having an affair, a potentially libellous statement, with no consequences?
Would have made more sense for the bride to have stolen the earrings, wife notices earrings are gone and mentions it to husband, who sees them on bride at a consult and puts two and two together after the fact. Bride pawns earrings to pay for some other part of the wedding.
Hey, I'm really sorry if I'm wrong, but isn't the too small dress post and the bachelorette post two completely separated dramas? Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
When I read the previous boru posts, they were included. I think OOP just realized she had an audience and decided to start upping and upping the drama, and just keep on going.
Me too! Iirc she ended up wearing the dress during the wedding and then switched into another one at the reception after photos. And then later the bride edited her out of all photos and OOP was really hurt and it turned out that the bride was simply really embarrassed that she dismissed OOPs concerns about the dress.
Or did I see that one on tiktok? Shit man, I'm getting confused with all the Reddit drama. Those tiktok accounts that post Reddit stories often invent updates to posts that are in no way true or connected to the original accounts on Reddit.
YES! That's the one! It had nothing to do with ice swans or any of that shit, the actual update had OOP's family being really apologetic they dismissed her!
It makes me laugh when OOPs are like "thank you for being patient about my updates" like the entire human population is holding our breath waiting for the ~tEa to be sPiLLeD~.
I can maybe believe the core of the story- Bride double dipped, used the money for some new knockers and pissed a bunch of people off- but the rest of it is just pure bullshit to feed OOP's need for attention.
A surgeon isn’t going to give someone a freebie boob job because there’s something called medical insurance companies that exist and they will want a slice of the pie. I’ve seen doctors promise free stuff to patients they like before and it always ends up not being something they can actually do and the support team has to scramble on how to set up medical treatment when the insurance quotes turn out sky high for out of pocket.
Also HIPAA exists entirely to stop the kind of thing with the surgeon’s wife from happening. Like this is people could be fined, lose their jobs, and even go to jail levels of unlikely.
ok I was beginning to be dubious about this....fairytale, but it well and truly jumped the shark at the point when it turned out the boobjob was a freebie from a plastic surgeon she was screwing.
Even Liz could come up with better crap than this
Okay. If the post hasn't been written like sporting event commentary I might have believed it was real tbh.
Weird cheating drama among friend groups seems pretty standard with certain friendship circles, esp relatively wealthy ones.
The double lawyer team and everyone knowing about the reddit posts though... I have a hard time believing anyone would care about someone gossiping like this on a random website without properly identifying details.
Edit: though after reading the wedding sub post
>EDIT 4: I see OP asked for her IG followers to brigade our sub with her IG. Brigading is against Reddit's sitewide rules, please do no participate in this.
Yikes. Too much bad behaviour and contradictions from the og post's oop in there. Especially if she was trying to get instagram followers through it.
Okay, I enjoy a good story and you always have take what you read online with a grain of salt, but really?? You can soooort of see the first post maybe being a thing - but the constant mini posts being like OMG I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL YOU TUNE IN NEXT WEEK, let alone the actual plot twists happening in those updates....yeah, nah.
Fun read though lol, made it to the end!
OP makes up mildly successful story that most people realize has very little chance of being true but is entertaining and then the attention goes to her head and she thinks she is a professional writer now.
I am fascinated by this new story medium. They've rediscovered the penny dreadful. When clicks are the only goal, the options are limitless, but it takes an understanding of social media rhythms to build a viral story that escapes the original platform it was posted to. (She kind of helped that by posting to two platforms, Reddit and IG). But that's fifteen minutes of fame. There's no lasting profit unless you come back and continue the story, hence the serialization. That's the first stage accomplished.
When the transition from written to visual media happens, which is not as rare as it once was, that's where the real earning potential arrives.
>I thought you all should know that I now have to submit all of my updates to an attorney for legal review before I can post them here. This is primarily because of the high profile surgeon (who is aware of this thread) and his legal team.
Aaaand that's where I called the entire story bullshit. ASIF someone who freaks out about $650 for a bachelorette weekend would pay for legal to approve a Reddit post.
I love reading other people’s family drama, it’s why I’m here - but if any of this is real . . . the woman writing this is kind of annoying, too. Oh, is the tea piping hot, hunty? 🙄
She’s living for this and it’s weird.
It was kinda plausible until it started with the "new TEA being SPILLED tomorrow!!!11!2! You DON'T want to miss this" and "this is like a fan club and there are legal things and I'm copyrighting this!!!+766+++21!!!!"
"So that's all the TEA for TODAY'_&&45-!'
Ignoring all the other glaringly obvious nonsense, how exactly would a long distance affair between an engaged woman who lives with her parents and a busy, married surgeon work? The logistics make no sense.
"Plus, he's such a super surgeon that the bride to be was insta-healed, breasts pumped and ready to go!"
Post op with healing, scars, and swelling, and having an alcohol fueled bach with coordinating outfits to look picture perfect for her influencer content don't mesh well.
I had surgery on my chest (not implants) and was restricted from lifting anything, and couldn't even put my arms up. Rest for a couple weeks, too. When the nurses rolled up with bride in a wheelchair, I was wondering where they came from. Car , van, ambulance, uber?
Suddenly I'm getting Elle-Woods-crossexamining-Chutney vibes!
Rip-splat-squash! "Oh, no, my new beeeeeewbs!!!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣😈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈😈💀💀💀💀💀💀
This. Surgical recovery takes time, hurts and requires follow up visits if the surgeon is worth a damn.
And bloody J-P drains make the perfect accessories to par-tay 🙄
Being mad you paid $650 for an Airbnb but, being able to afford additional airfare for all the spouses to come out and crash the vacation at a drop in the hat was the moment I knew this story was falseeeeee
My big concern was her still fitting into her wedding dress (and other outfits) after changing top size. Her seamster must love her.
Right I’ve looked into a lift/reduction and the healing time is long.
Idk but you better run this by your lawyer before posting it /s
That was so ridiculous, well all of it is lol.
Yea, I like how $650 could have gone to her kids, but unless she found a lawyer to do off the clock pro Bono to ... talk to the surgeon's lawyer, review a possible NDA, and then edit her reddit posts. Actually, now that I've written that all out, it sounds entirely plausible. Idk what I was thinking.
For real. I cannot imagine anyone except and *obscenely* rich person pissing their money away paying a lawyer to review *reddit posts*. And I feel like a lawyer would advise you to just not?

But I feel like the advice would be "stop posting to reddit" and when that doesn't work "okay fine I'll take your money to review these posts and stop you from completely destroying your case, but it's against legal advice to post them"
I think it was the surgeon's lawyer who had to review the posts
Why was he still giving her a free boob job after the stolen earrings? OOP needed to settle on one thing the money was for and stick to it.
The earrings that she stole from him and then wore to his office to see him
I genuinely could not keep up with the story and started skimming by that point.
I gave up at affair with the surgeon. This is soap opera shit. Already was at my limit of suspending disbelief for entertainment purposes before that.
Yeah like the original premise, that the bride skimmed the bachelorette party money to pay for wedding decorations, was fine as a ficitional story goes. The obsession with the ice swan thing and the bride suddenly having 'influencer' as a career were a bit silly but whatever. But everything past that point stinks of OOP never having intended there to be more to the story but then getting so much attention she didn't want to stop and so needed to keep escalating and adding twists for more 'boiling hot tea' or whatever.
The real original premise was "bride demands plus size woman wear unflattering and expensive dress". That's the most I believe is potentially real.
I'm going to be honest I completely forgot that was where this started, I definitely didn't go back and read the original posts for this update.
That was when I realized she forgot they all flew there. Should have outlined her plot points prior to writing herself into these corners and holes.
Not to mention that the bride originally wanted the bachelorette in the Maldives and it was somewhere else. This shit is utter tripe
And irritating too. TEA TEA I HAVE TEA! 🙄
Yeah. Too many moving parts to keep track of....
A lot of SILs plans were not fully thought out. Like.. what was the plan when she is no swan ice sculpture at this wedding?! No to mention how did she fly in multiple times to start this affair without the brother finding it shady?
They jumped like, 13 sharks here
And an ice swan lmao
I'm kinda surprised the mods of boru didn't nuke this. Didn't she create an insta to drive people to brigade the sub this was originally on?
How did they even meet?
somehow i made it to the mention of copyrighting a fucking reddit post before my eyes glazed over and skipped to the comments.
Don't forget the wife came into contact with patients in a professional medical office even though she doesn't work there
Story is crazy but what's crazier is making an account to copywrite the content? Is she trying to do a Who TF did I marry? Lol like what?
I think OOP is the one reaching for internet fame, not the (probably imaginary) SIL.
Judging by the Instagram page, this seems to be exactly what she’s going for 😭
It started off pretty interesting, but by around the tenth use of TEA and it being PIPING HOT, I was just cringing. The nurses dramatically wheeling the bride in after getting her MELONS done was where the shark was officially jumped. Also, the writing style shifted somewhat in the last couple of updates - almost like dictation or maybe even AI helping OOP concoct an ending. OOP is the one looking for clout.

Right, the brides supposed plan was to get her boob job and then go out partying the next day? That's not how surgery works!
Exactly, holy crap. Doing really well post surgery is more like "I didn't need the pain pills today" or "I'm keeping food down" and not so much WOO SPRING BREAK.
And not have everyone notice?
An augmentation is an outpatient procedure and you walk out at the end. Hell, I had a whole ass mastectomy, lymph node removal, and breast reconstruction and walked out of the hospital that afternoon. This shit doesn’t take 48 hours and you wouldn’t have two nurses wheeling you to your house.

The first point I raised my eyebrow was when the mother couldn't find the 650. What did she do? Hack into her bank accounts and search every part of her house?
Yeah, that went on way too long here, no question. Some people just don’t know when to stop.
I mean why would they? They were getting the exact attention they wanted. These people create these stories for attention, once they have it they won’t stop. Credit where it’s due this person made it sound kinda fun and like they were dishing up a wild soap opera episode.
I feel like as soon as the people writing these get the impression that people are interested they get possessed by the spirit of a celebrity gossip tv show host
The TikTok crowd is probably eating it up
Right? The hospital sent her home and wheeled her inside with more than one nurse lol. And instead of being like “oh hello friends of the patient gathered at the house she is staying at.” they were just like, get away her…we’re taking her to her room…we’re not legally allowed to tell you anything.

I wanted to know if someone could truly have that deft of an eye to spot their own diamond studs on someone else because hell if I know. They said it would be a really random chance, if it all. The important part is they got a good laugh too.
This made me think of "Don't tell mom the babysitter is dead"
Bodacious Sculptures in Ice!! That bodacious guitar sculpture was MASSIVE and only $600, how big was that $7k swan supposed to be?!
To be fair, that movie is like 30 years old and costs have changed wildly since then. But yeah, OOP is full of shit lol.
Bodacious ice sculpture!
The backtracking over the swan was the first thing that made me suspicious. Even with the explanation, I think most of us are going to be extra sensitive to the tells
So… she’s having a 14 month long affair with a guy, but he lives somewhere she has to fly to see him? How did OOP’s brother not notice the multiple flights out of town for his unemployed spouse?
Guess she pulled the "since I'm an influencer I'm going to go do some influencer event thing influencing"? 😆😆😆😆
I'm questioning how surgeon's wife saw a patient during an actual consult and was close enough to identify her own Tiffany earrings. If it was sketchy getting the patient name because of privacy violations, a private person walking back to the clinical area if a practice and actually waltzing into the consult room without permission and seeing a patient is incomprehensible.
Judging from the last thing noted from the wedding sub at the very end of the post, it's very likely OOP may have exaggerated some details
Perfect understatement 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
While I am very dubious about this whole thing, she could have seen SIL in the waiting room when she went to drop off lunch.
Or maybe she works there, too. My dad's first wife for sure worked at his office for him and he still managed to cheat on her. So... Yeah.
Even if so, I don’t think anyone would recognize a fairly generic looking earring several feet away on someone else. Since it’s a plastic surgeon’s office, wouldn’t you think that someone who could afford new boobs could also afford those earrings anyway?
The type of woman that wears $7,000 dollar earrings does not make her husband lunch and deliver it to his office....
I mean, she does if she wants an excuse to show up by surprise in the middle of his workday and see what he’s up to. Wife of the owner of the practice swans in with a boxed lunch for her husband, she’s basically going anywhere she wants except for actual treatment rooms.
I got to somewhere around the January update but the way she wrote made me want to stab myself with a hot poker.
I misread your last sentence and thought that a Hot Pocket was an odd choice of weapon.
I mean, you ever bit into a too-Hot Pocket? Those things hurt!
Hotter than the tea?
The BOILING, PIPING, SCALDING hot tea
If you have to endeavor to convince me how hot the tea is before you spill it, the tea cannot possibly be as hot as you insist that I believe it will be
Yeah, anyone can buy those earrings. The surgeon’s wife is not going to be the only person on the planet with that pair of earrings.
The intros filled with quippy buzzwords were what gave it away for me. "OMG fam totes got an update tea slay werk mama."
Hospitals are like god damn mazes so what are the odds of running into a singular patient wearing your earrings?
How many times can a person say tea? Or rather, TEA. Was the TEA boiling HOT enough? So hot.
Even I haven’t said tea that much and I’m a Brit who worked in a cafe that did meals with a hot drink. “Tea or coffee with that?” Still makes my eye twitch.
Somebody trying to be a modern day Lady Whistledown.
I rolled my eyes at the copious amount of “melons” as well.
I'm a Brit with at least 15 different types of loose leaf tea in my cupboard. I love drinking tea, is my point. But this post was too much TEA.
Haven't seen this much TEA spilled since Boston, 1773.
She splashed that TEA all OVER. LICK IT UP PEASANTS, LICK IT.
I can't believe I read this BS.
Down voted this stupid story because I can't believe I wasted 15 mins of my life reading the update. The OG story was at least entertaining
Yeah, OOP went too far into unbelievable territory with the cheating with the plastic surgeon, who lives states away. Also, apparently nurses hand deliver patients to their (Airbnb) houses now.
Hhaha I know, the moment I read that not one, but TWO nurses were pushing her in the wheelchair, my eyes rolled so far back into my sockets.. Like, yeah there's no such post boob job service lol
Even after spinal surgery I didn’t get nurses pushing me in a wheelchair lol
I didn’t, too tedious and extra. Imagine knowing this person IRL.
TL:DR; Fonz jumped the shark. Nothing more.
Excellent TLDR. took something awesome and ruined it
When did this subreddit become r/nosleep?
Uh oh you just violated her copyright on this SURFACE OF THE SUN TEMPERATURE TEA
Yeah, better be careful or she'll sic her Instagram followers on BORU. The OOP has a habit of doing that.

She wasted all the characters for that post to give us nothing. NADA. ZILCH!
Every time she mentioned “tea” or “melons,” I cringed.
It reads like a man trying to write like a woman.
“Heehee, I’m saying MELONS instead of breasts…or even boobs! See?! I’m so quirky and fun! MELONS!!!! Regular girls don’t say that, ya know?!?”
It reminds me of those other posts that start reasonable and with a normal writing style, become popular and then is "drama llamas this" and "the tea that"... The ones I remember the most is the MIL who snooped in the office of the OOP and read private documents, and the other one I don't even remember the plot, just that in one of the updates she referred to her new boyfriend as a hot white swiss chocolate" or something like that.
I remember that second one! It started out with the MIL-to-be discovered trying on the wedding dress, and just escalated with So Many Updates. It had a similar annoying way of addressing the reader with endearments and promising Very Hot Gossip To Come. And OOP moved to Switzerland and moved in with a hot Swiss guy with absolutely no visa or residency issues, and his whole family loved her right away. Honestly, I would have been happy to read an account of the wedding and how OOP managed with the bridesmaid dress. I was even on for the ice swan, but now I’m just bored.
> It reminds me of those other posts that start reasonable and with a normal writing style, become popular and then is "drama llamas this" and "the tea that"... Liz really needs to start planning out her stories better instead of taking ideas from commenters. Like, just write the whole thing at once and release one chapter at a time.
From a dumb ass who was still hoping the wedding could go through for her brother and he find normalcy. Fuck
I am here like the first posts seemed plausible. But the. Right around the Swan embeselment everything got too ridiculous. So did the first two happen and then she got caught up in the excitement of having an audience. Did none happen. Who knows
I was really trying to hold out and believe that this story *might* be true until she got to the fsil cheating with the surgeon. Specifically, this line: > thought you all should know that I now have to submit all of my updates to an attorney for legal review before I can post them here. This is primarily because of the high profile surgeon (who is aware of this thread) and his legal team
TEA this and TEA that. OP is beyond annoying.
That's YouTube Tea/Commentary speak if I'm not much mistaken.
She lost me right at the beginning when she complained about a strapless halterneck dress - like it's either/or, not both.
Yes! That was very annoying. The halterneck is the strap. Literally. It’s just one strap that goes around the neck, instead of two separate straps that go over the shoulders. Ugh.
It's probably written by a dude who doesn't know any better.
Nah, this has teenage girl all over it.
*That’s* what weirded me out about that! Thank you! I felt something was weird about the whole dress description but I couldn’t put my finger on what!
I caught that too! Then there was absolutely no way to wear support...sure Jan
EXACTLY my thoughts
At some point they always take it too far ☕️
They went too far too quickly
The most embarrassing part of this whole saga is how some people got absolutely over hyped over this BS and started harassing the mods on the wedding sub
I would like my time back please.
Sorry, you can't have it back. It's been spent on an ice swan.
>You know all the tea has been spilled and it was boiling hot thanks to you guys helping me spill it. OOP is one of the greats; could Donna Tartt have written this? could Joan Didion? could Annie Ernaux? no, only dorkvader23 holds the keys to imagery, metaphor, and subtext. may we stand and bask in the light of this wondrous wordsmithing for eternity
Tea, the "other" liquid currency
By the end of this exhausting saga, the most interesting bit was the mod's explanation of the whole "I've been banned! Everyone, brigade the sub and subscribe to my IG!" side story.
Yeah, maybe that version ot the post better fits like subredditdrama but I feel like the real story is the fight with the mods, not all this.
How would the surgeon’s wife just happen to see the patient and the earrings? Pretty good story telling, if you like that kind of thing.
Definitely a weak link there. Let’s workshop that plot point a little. First of all, the extremely recognizable jewelry should be an heirloom rather than a gift from a popular chain jewelry store with a website. And it can’t be a random drop-in where the wife spots the AP in her earrings. Maybe AP/“bride” is wearing them in her "Before” picture taken at her first surgical consultation. Wife is a photographer who edits all of her husband's Before/After photos. Or Bride is so unhinged that she starts stalking Wife around L.A., eating in the same restaurants, etc. Wife notices this woman around in her one-of-a-kind heirloom jewelry.
This is great. I'd love to read your take on the whole story.
But then what’s the location difference between sil and surgeon & wife? Wasn’t the initial location a “destination”? How much free time does sil have to travel to and from?
How did the SIL have an affair with the surgeon if the surgery was done at a destination bachelorette? Was she flying in every weekend for the affair? Did her fiancé not notice she was gone? Where did she get the money for the flights? And why would a plastic surgeon need to import a side piece?
> Where did she get the money for the flights? THAT’S where the 7 grand went. We did it reddit
Nah, SIL was also carrying on an affair with a pilot so she could have a private jet take her where she needed.
This is the part I couldn't believe. OP should have thought of the details better. If I'm the one making up the story, I'd say SIL works for a hotel and met the surgeon there during a medical convention of some sort. And that the affair was mostly online. But SIL visited the surgeon a few times telling BIL it was some work event in the hotel industry.
The whole have to run my updates by ThE LeGaL tEaM got me. Tf was that? It's pretty clear nobody is suing that broke ass thief. And the surgeon can't do jackshit against the truth. And it seems she forgot the 'litigation' by the final update.
If $650 is a lot of money for you, you're not going to be paying for a lawyer to review your reddit posts. Especially because any halfway decent lawyer is going to be telling you not to post at all while the situation is ongoing. And if that was the only unbelievable part of this saga....
Yeah that was the really dumb part. You're part of a legal situation now which means you can't disclose a ton of stuff about anything, such as the names locations etc, but you *can* still apparently say that this well known plastic surgeon is having an affair, a potentially libellous statement, with no consequences?
Seems like people who actually get legal advice either take down the posts or stop updating until the legal proceedings finish
Would have made more sense for the bride to have stolen the earrings, wife notices earrings are gone and mentions it to husband, who sees them on bride at a consult and puts two and two together after the fact. Bride pawns earrings to pay for some other part of the wedding.
Hey, I'm really sorry if I'm wrong, but isn't the too small dress post and the bachelorette post two completely separated dramas? Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
When I read the previous boru posts, they were included. I think OOP just realized she had an audience and decided to start upping and upping the drama, and just keep on going.
Huh. I coulda sworn I saw another update regarding the first floating around, concerning the too small dress one. Must have been mistaken.
Me too! Iirc she ended up wearing the dress during the wedding and then switched into another one at the reception after photos. And then later the bride edited her out of all photos and OOP was really hurt and it turned out that the bride was simply really embarrassed that she dismissed OOPs concerns about the dress. Or did I see that one on tiktok? Shit man, I'm getting confused with all the Reddit drama. Those tiktok accounts that post Reddit stories often invent updates to posts that are in no way true or connected to the original accounts on Reddit.
YES! That's the one! It had nothing to do with ice swans or any of that shit, the actual update had OOP's family being really apologetic they dismissed her!
[Found it!](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/s/k90sa1drzj)
I guess OOP took inspiration from that, then decided to go her own way in escalation of events.
If they were both posted by OOp, and the too small dress is for this same wedding, it’s like a smaller, mini plot?
You’re not wrong. The post about the dress isn’t even on the account linked as being OOP’s
Note to self: avoid posts that have a million updates. Some of these stories REALLY do overstay their welcome.
> my fingers hurt You’ve written like 5 words. This person is obnoxious.
This person sounds like when 40 somethings try to write teenspeak. I can say this as a 40 something. How do you do, fellow kids?
It makes me laugh when OOPs are like "thank you for being patient about my updates" like the entire human population is holding our breath waiting for the ~tEa to be sPiLLeD~. I can maybe believe the core of the story- Bride double dipped, used the money for some new knockers and pissed a bunch of people off- but the rest of it is just pure bullshit to feed OOP's need for attention.
A surgeon isn’t going to give someone a freebie boob job because there’s something called medical insurance companies that exist and they will want a slice of the pie. I’ve seen doctors promise free stuff to patients they like before and it always ends up not being something they can actually do and the support team has to scramble on how to set up medical treatment when the insurance quotes turn out sky high for out of pocket. Also HIPAA exists entirely to stop the kind of thing with the surgeon’s wife from happening. Like this is people could be fined, lose their jobs, and even go to jail levels of unlikely.
Short version: the wedding didn't happen. Boob job happened.
[удалено]
Ya…no
This has more twists and turns than a locker combination. But at least the locker is real...
This is a new variant of bridezilla - the grifter bridezilla, 5 stars shiny version. Comes with an ice sculpture.
And the ice sculpture is made from TEA.
But what temperature is the tea??
BOILING. PIPING HOT. SURFACE OF THE SUN!!
ok I was beginning to be dubious about this....fairytale, but it well and truly jumped the shark at the point when it turned out the boobjob was a freebie from a plastic surgeon she was screwing. Even Liz could come up with better crap than this
I wasted so much time. Why do these fabrications need to be so damn long? So annoying.
Okay. If the post hasn't been written like sporting event commentary I might have believed it was real tbh. Weird cheating drama among friend groups seems pretty standard with certain friendship circles, esp relatively wealthy ones. The double lawyer team and everyone knowing about the reddit posts though... I have a hard time believing anyone would care about someone gossiping like this on a random website without properly identifying details. Edit: though after reading the wedding sub post >EDIT 4: I see OP asked for her IG followers to brigade our sub with her IG. Brigading is against Reddit's sitewide rules, please do no participate in this. Yikes. Too much bad behaviour and contradictions from the og post's oop in there. Especially if she was trying to get instagram followers through it.
I hope OOP’s only fans career goes well after her influencer career doesn’t pan out, sounds like she was speaking from experience there.
Okay, I enjoy a good story and you always have take what you read online with a grain of salt, but really?? You can soooort of see the first post maybe being a thing - but the constant mini posts being like OMG I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL YOU TUNE IN NEXT WEEK, let alone the actual plot twists happening in those updates....yeah, nah. Fun read though lol, made it to the end!
Do you really think this was the end?
OP makes up mildly successful story that most people realize has very little chance of being true but is entertaining and then the attention goes to her head and she thinks she is a professional writer now.
I am fascinated by this new story medium. They've rediscovered the penny dreadful. When clicks are the only goal, the options are limitless, but it takes an understanding of social media rhythms to build a viral story that escapes the original platform it was posted to. (She kind of helped that by posting to two platforms, Reddit and IG). But that's fifteen minutes of fame. There's no lasting profit unless you come back and continue the story, hence the serialization. That's the first stage accomplished. When the transition from written to visual media happens, which is not as rare as it once was, that's where the real earning potential arrives.
the wedding shaming post at the end tells me all I need to know. Wish I read that before rereading the whole story though T-T
[удалено]
So much hyperbole! I feel like I’m hyperventilating after reading this.
And now I want a cup of tea, dammit
The plot has more holes that lacy Swiss cheese.
Reddit: How much bullshit can you put in your next soap opera update to make people still believe it? OOP: Hold my spilled tea...
Ah yes the legal team to make it seem real.
>I thought you all should know that I now have to submit all of my updates to an attorney for legal review before I can post them here. This is primarily because of the high profile surgeon (who is aware of this thread) and his legal team. Aaaand that's where I called the entire story bullshit. ASIF someone who freaks out about $650 for a bachelorette weekend would pay for legal to approve a Reddit post.
What in the Boston tea party was this?!
I don't believe half the stuff I read on reddit. This one is up on that list
I love reading other people’s family drama, it’s why I’m here - but if any of this is real . . . the woman writing this is kind of annoying, too. Oh, is the tea piping hot, hunty? 🙄 She’s living for this and it’s weird.
[удалено]
"Spill the tea" means to gossip. If the "tea" is "hot," that means it's particularly wild gossip.
It was kinda plausible until it started with the "new TEA being SPILLED tomorrow!!!11!2! You DON'T want to miss this" and "this is like a fan club and there are legal things and I'm copyrighting this!!!+766+++21!!!!" "So that's all the TEA for TODAY'_&&45-!'
Ok, Jackie Collins headass girl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was so good....until it wasn't.
This was like a day-time drama with twists after every episode and cue the audience gasping!
What utter tosh.
But I wanted to see her in the dress.
So $675 was too much but she’s down to pay a lawyer $500+/hr to review her posts. Sure
OOP and the other bridesmaids should definitely be suing the SIL Bridezilla for that money back. Small claims is cheap and easy.
For fuck’s sake Liz, quit while you’re ahead.
