The women on the podcast were seriously shocked at what the woman had to say

Online trolls are unfortunately a part of using the internet - especially social media. These keyboard warriors take the opportunity to say what they wouldn't dare to in real life, as they're safely tucked away behind a screen so likely won't face any repercussions.

But one woman was left flabbergasted when she realised that one of her best pals was behind an account trolling her on social media - and a link sent to a group chat exposed her web of lies.

Writing into Scots podcast Girls Overheard, the woman explained that she has been making fashion videos online for half a year - but that none of her friends have been supportive of her bold career move.

The podcast hosts were horrified to learn what had happened...

...the woman who contacted them was being trolled by a pal

She explained that she'd recently sent a link to one of her videos into a group chat, informing her friends that the outfit shown would be the one she was wearing to go out that night.

However, she then received a notification from TikTok to say that one of the friends' accounts had viewed her video - but it was from an account that had been pestering her with hateful comments.

'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'

She then left an open question for podcast hosts Eilidh Wells, Ash Reid, and Lauren Kerr about how she should confront her friend-turned-enemy.

The comments left on the video were cruel, including: "This outfit isn't for your body type."

The woman asked: "How do I tell her I know?"

The clip was shared on social media with the caption: "Secret trolls beware. TikTok is telling on you. What would you do?"

Floods of people took to the comments to defend the anonymous fashionista, with one writing: "That's not a friend, that's a secret enemy."

Another person said: "She is not your friend. Cut ties and get better friends."

"Some of my mates and fam think it's so cringe that I post fashion content, even now when I have over 55k on Insta. It's all jealousy, keep going", someone praised.

What would you do in this situation? Let us know in the comments.
