A last-minute hunt for a party shirt turned into viral drama when Tara Lynn accused a follower of sabotaging her New Year’s Eve look.
The Shirt Hunt
On Dec. 29, Lynn posted a plea to her 5 million TikTok followers: “Girls, I need your help… can I please borrow” the Pearly Bow Halter Top in size small or XS? The $239 piece was sold out everywhere, she claimed, adding, “This is do or die for me.”
Dozens offered to help-some demanding cash. One account promised to send the top free, then stopped replying.
The Deleted Rant
Lynn’s follow-up video, since removed, fumed:
> “One of my haters did something f—– up to me today. She pretended she loved me so I wouldn’t go to the mall… then she ghosted me.”
She griped the user vanished from 4 p.m. to midnight, forcing her to scramble for another outfit.
The Nurse Steps In
A comment on the deleted clip later read:
> “Hi everyone. It was me. I am so sorry. I am a nurse… it was SO short staffed. I just got off and it’s 3 a.m.“
Lynn shot back:
> “If u knew u were going to be working u shouldn’t have offered.”
Skepticism & Backlash
Viewers roasted Lynn for shaming an essential worker over clothing. Others doubt the nurse account is real-its profile shows zero posts, no profile pic, and only two videos, one with alleged DM screenshots Lynn calls “super fake.”
