I ‘ghosted’ a close friend because she was getting too close to my boyfriend – she even started wearing his hoodie

A US woman had to take drastic measures to protect her relationship with her boyfriend by cutting off and ghosting her friend, whom she accused of overstepping her boundaries.

Kelly Kim, from Los Angeles, US, began noticing “disturbing behavior” from her close friend Joanna when she started dating her unnamed current boyfriend.

The pair reportedly met through Joanna’s introduction during a party, but Kelly claims Joanna’s behavior became suspicious during the party. video posted on TikTok November 7th.

Posting a message to her nearly 80K followers on her @kelly_kim_ account, the content creator uploaded a GWRM (Get Ready With Me) video recalling her “breakup” with her boyfriend over a year ago.

Video captioned “Which one did you like best? The sandwich is mine,” which then shows Kelly applying makeup while talking to the camera.

She began, “Get ready with me as I talk about the ridiculous things this girl who claims to be a girl has done to me.”

Kelly went on to say that she has “never” had to leave a relationship or friendship “coldly” and has never experienced a “friendship breakup,” but called her ex-friend an “exception.”

She continued, “The day she met my boyfriend, she added him to her ‘close friends’ story and just started posting random TMI (too much information) on her stories – like an attention trap.”

“This was before my boyfriend and I started dating, but everyone knew we liked each other.

Kelly added: “She borrowed my boyfriend’s sweatshirt when we were at his house because she was cold.”

After bringing the hoodie home, Kelly claimed that Joanna continued to wear the garment for two weeks straight and posted photos on social media.

Deciding to ignore Joanna’s behavior, Kelly then noted how her friend began to “show love” to her boyfriend’s interests, including comparing him to clothing brands he regularly wore.

She said: “I’ve never heard this girl brag about how much she loves this brand before until she met my boyfriend. Spending hours preparing for a meeting with him. I call another friend and tell her she thinks he’s cute.”

The TikTok influencer then became the “last straw” in Joanna’s supposed achievements when she “voluntarily” woke up early to personally deliver a sandwich to her boyfriend.

Kelly said: “Brought him a sandwich that he mentioned he liked and then volunteered to get up early so she could give him the sandwich so he could take it to work.”

Meanwhile, her former friend shared an alternative version of the situation: her footage has been viewed more than 8 million times by curious viewers eager to understand the full picture.

Joanna Lee, a content creator based in Los Angeles, uploaded video to 40,000 followers on her TikTok account on November 16, when the scorned friend had to turn off her comments after Kelly’s fans left offensive messages.

Posting the video to her @joannayeonlee account, Joanna claimed that Kelly exaggerated some details of the story and “denigrated” her for no apparent reason.

Joanna told how she played “Cupid” and set up a couple after meeting her boyfriend during a birthday party.

Referring to accusations of setting “attention traps” on close friends’ stories, Joanna denied: “It’s not really a big deal. If these were attention traps, then why did she also need close friends? I only want guys.”

She added: “Hoodie. I’m just notorious for not giving hoodies back. It just took me longer to return it because it was so cute.”

Joanna then insisted the top sandwich was nothing more than a gesture of goodwill after Kelly’s boyfriend helped mount her TV on the wall.

She said, “Let me express my gratitude somehow. After work, I took the sandwich and put it in the refrigerator. We prepared a sandwich for you, come tomorrow before work and eat it before it goes bad.

Joanna concluded: “She came with him to pick him up. I handed her the sandwich. I would do this for anyone.”

Thousands of viewers had mixed reactions to Kelly’s comments, with many condemning Joanna’s behavior while some felt Kelly was wrong to end the friendship over nothing.

One person supporting Kelly said: “I feel like the reason Kelly decided to stay alive and not communicate was because she knew Joanna would try to gas her.”

Another wrote: “Point of view: You watched Joanna’s video, thought they were red flags at first, then the algorithm leads you to Kelly’s truth.”

However, others found the whole situation petty, with one viewer writing: “The only thing I have a problem with is the sweatshirt. Was everything else ok??’

One person wrote: “These are crazy people taking sides when it’s so clear they’re both wrong in this situation.”

Another said: “This shouldn’t be the end of a friendship, we could at least talk,” while a third wrote: “Am I the only one who doesn’t see a problem with this?”

In September, MailOnline reported how one girl listed ten “controversial” rules she and her boyfriend of six years had set in place to ensure a happy, long-lasting relationship.

Gia Aldisert from Los Angeles shared her list and sparked debate between those who thought the rules were “reasonable” and those who thought they were “too strict.”

Rules include not following hot models on Instagram, not knowing each other’s phone passwords and not having best friends of the opposite sex.
