She went viral after bragging about the marriage
A woman who shared a video in which she claimed she married her ‘stepdad’ has revealed the truth about their relationship.
After recently tying the knot in Las Vegas, besotted bride, Christy, broadcast her passionate first kiss with her groom moments after the pair exchanged vows.
Christy wrapped her legs around her groom’s waist, as the pair passionately embraced as the wedding party clapped and took pictures on their phones.
But it was the caption on the video that caught viewers attention.
The mother-of-two from Tampa, Florida, wrote: “Marrying my step dad was the best decision I ever made.”
In the caption for the clip Christy added the hashtags “#MarryYourMomsEx” and #itsworthit.
As expected, TikTok users lost their s*** over the clip. Some 124,000 people commented.
“I don’t think I can come up with a situation where this happens and there’s no ick,” one person wrote, the New York Post noted.
“There’s 7 billion people in the world. Why?” asked another user.
“He really went from ‘dad’ to ‘daddy‘ didn’t he,” joked a third.
Now, Christie has come out and revealed that the couple’s love story is not actually as controversial as they portrayed it to be.
She told the New York Post that she posted the clip as a ‘joke’.
Then, in a follow-up video, she explained that their “real story” was “not as interesting.”
Christy said: “Was I groomed? No. Did my stepdad raise me? No. Was I a minor when I met him? No. Do me and my mom still talk? Yes. Did he have kids with my mom? No.”
She then clarified in a third TikTok that her new husband isn’t even her stepdad – she simply made the comment because the pair have a 16-year age gap.
Christy went on to reveal he was actually her older brother’s best friend, and after her brother died in a motorcycle crash, they bonded over the loss and fell in love.
“Didn’t expect the video to blow up as much as it did,” Christy admitted.
She added that she made the joke in a bid to prove that people will believe anything that they read on the internet.
“I also wanted to prove that everyone will be upset and believe anything they see on the internet nowadays,” she explained.
“They were mad when I ‘married my stepdad,’ and they were mad when I posted my real story and found out that it wasn’t actually my stepdad. The internet feeds on the drama.
“The amount of death threats I received, wishing that my children were born without arms and legs and they were glad my brother had died, and they wanted to call [child protective services] on me. It was absolutely insane lol.”
