A woman has taken to TikTok to share her frustration after her half brother, who she hasn't spoken to for years, reached out asking for money - for his wedding. Going under the username Alyssa.seremet , the annoyed TikToker shared a screenshot of the text message he sent with her 150k followers.
The message reads: "Hola sis, Surprise! You're invited to celebrate our union as husband and wife. Please RSVP no later than July 7th. All details are included within our website."
The screenshot then appears to show a hyperlink to a website, which has been blurred out by the TikToker. The text continues: "We are accepting donations to our cash fund registry also included on the site. Can't wait to see you there."
On top of the screenshotted message, Alyssa writes: "When your dusty half brother reaches out for the first time in years to raise money for his wedding." She also films herself reacting to the image, mouthing along to the words from an audio clip playing in the background: "What happened to hello? How are you? My name is... what happened to that?"
In the caption, the half sister adds: "I'm sorry to say not only do I have a half brother… but he too.. is a DUSTY. #sheraseven #sprinklesprinkle #dusty." The word dusty is often used as a slang word online to refer to someone of 'low quality'.
Since sharing her half brother's text earlier this month, the clip has been watched almost 300k times, with thousands sharing their own reaction in the comment section. Sav replied: "The fact he said surprise shows."
In response to a viewer, Alyssa revealed: "I haven’t spoken to him in like three years." Gabi pointed out: "The way you emphasised that he’s your half brother," to which the TikToker hit back: "Emphasis on HALF."
Devorah quipped: "I would reply who's this?" Brit Brat wrote: "Not even a formal invitation." SGB urged: "Stay faaar away, protect your peace." Mrs Worldwide admitted: "The 'surprise!' is sending me."
JKbzz said: "The audacity of throwing a party W/O funds. BUT how will he provide if he cant fund a wedding." Alyssa replied, adding: "Tell me how it’s a BBQ at a PARK too." Ellie Martinez argued: "Ummmm I think this was a general raise of money… no?" And Alyssa put: "At least make small talk a week before tho."
