“I’m Sorry for 2025”
A TikToker posted a video that appears to show her confronting a man who was sending racist text messages about her while he was sitting next to her on a flight.
In the video posted on Friday, Taila Rouse says that she didn't want to say anything to the man at first, but she wanted to make him feel as uncomfortable as she felt when she noticed the "disgusting" messages on the screen. Rouse has more than 25,000 followers on her account, where she mainly posts travel tips and hotel reviews.
In the video caption, Rouse said that the altercation happened on a flight from Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Georgia earlier in the week. According to Rouse, she glanced over at the man's phone and saw the words "big Black woman" in a text message, which made her feel inclined to keep reading the conversation.
"He and his family went on and on about the woes of being stuck next to Black and gay people," Rouse said. "Then I see this man say he hopes airlines raise prices so these people get weeded out."
After telling the man that his text's made her uncomfortable, the video shows Rouse telling the man that she is not going to repeat what his messages said because everyone in the aisle "doesn't need to know, but I just want you to know that I know."
Rouse posted a follow-up video that shows the man's cellphone that appears to show three outgoing text messages.
"Hopefully the airlines will continue to raise prices and weed out these people. Ryan is sitting next to a huge Black woman," the messages say in the v
I have mixed feelings on this. Why bother posting this if you’re still going to protect his identity?
Also, I wouldn’t give the CAC the satisfaction to know I’m bothered. He probably got off on knowing how triggered she was.
Being the petty guy I am, I would’ve returned the same energy and played “Horny Lil Devil” in front of his face, and dare him to say something.


Nice
