On July 17th, a selfie of a woman who was “one month clean” of alcohol and drugs went viral and appeared on the front page of Imgur. The thing is – she never posted it, nor had she ever used drugs. The real author was her unfortunate Tinder match who was later called out by the woman’s cousin and forced to delete the post.
“So I woke up this morning to my cousin on the front page”
“As an alcoholic, and recovering drug addict I was surprised that I never knew she used these hard drugs as I had partied heavily with her throughout my drinking years.”
“I called her out on it and wouldn’t you know it…. someone has used her picture to win fake internet points!”
“I’ve talked to her on the phone and she is NOT happy about it..”
