It’s quite remarkable what $5,000 can accomplish. For Los Angeles lawyer Eve Tiley-Coulson, when she offered that exact amount on TikTok in 2023, it blew up her entire life. She now explains, “It marked the shift from being a ‘victim’ who was unable to find love to taking control of the narrative.”
Like many, Eve was looking for love. The apps weren’t working — whether she swiped left, right, up, or down, the result was always disappointment. Her friends weren’t setting her up either. And presumably, whenever she opened up social media, it was people arguing through Andrew Tate talking points, so Eve couldn’t exactly count on the ever-so-reliable direct messages.
