Last month, the story of a US high school student went viral, after it was revealed that she had dumped her slut-shaming boyfriend after he claimed her prom dress showed too much skin.
16-year-old Madison Witham’s story made headlines across the globe after she posted a screenshot of text messages between her and her boyfriend on her Twitter account.
The Lakeland High School pupil was so excited to show boyfriend the dress, she sent him a photo, but he wasn’t happy, telling the student she was ‘showing too much skin’.
‘It’s not too much skin, wtf,’ she replied. And then he wrote back: ‘You look like a slut b. No offense.’
Understandably disgusted by her boyfriend’s cruel remarks, she wrote back: ‘I’ll stick with the dress and get myself a new man, bye.’
In case you didn’t think her boyfriend’s reaction was totally ludicrous and disgusting beforehand, Madison has now shared a photo of the dress, and I can confirm that her ex’s reaction was even more ridiculous than I could’ve ever imagined.
Not that you have any right to ever tell a female what she can and cannot wear, Madison’s boyfriend’s reaction was exceptionally eye-raising because… well, Madison’s dress hardly shows any skin at all besides her back.
I personally think he needs to make his way back to the Victorian era. Someone hold the time machine!
In response to the texts going viral, Maddie spoke to Insider and told them she had been blown away by all the support.
She said:
I put it on Twitter just to expose him and show how mean he was to me. I was so surprised when I saw that it went viral because I did not even mean for it to go viral.
However, sadly, Madison has since decided not to attend prom anymore in the aftermath of all of the attention and publicity she received from her viral tweet.
Posting to Twitter, she wrote:
For everyone who still cares what my dress looks like. (fyi, not going to prom anymore).
I posted this so people could get off my back, I’m not looking for more attention.
In the aftermath of the initial tweet, countless folk from Twitter posted messages of support to Maddison.
One person replied:
‘HELL YEAH GIRL SO PROUD OF YOU.’
Another added:
We love a queen that knows her self worth!!!!!!!!!
Somebody else chipped in:
Idk you but I’m so proud of ya for not letting any dude control your life! If he gonna judge ya like that he ain’t the one for ya.’
And offers of dates flooded in as well, with one writing: ‘If you need someone to give you a great night and treat you the way you deserve let me know. You deserve better than that. Respect.’
