The internet praises the woman in the background of the IHOP dance girl video for being “so real.”
A woman named Ana (@addictedtoana) recently shared a video on TikTok of her at IHOP. “My hangryness leaving my body at the moment I have my food,” she wrote in the text of the eight-second clip, where she’s seen smiling and dancing while seated in an IHOP booth as the server puts a plate of pancakes in front of her.

While the video was centered around Ana’s joy about receiving her food, it was hard not to notice one of the customers in the background. Sitting in a booth across from Ana was another woman who didn’t seem to share Ana’s love of pancakes. In fact, the woman looked as if she was judging Ana for filming a video of it.
Ana noticed this woman, too, and acknowledged her in her caption. “The best part of this video is the woman judging me,” she wrote.
In the comment section, it appeared that viewers looked right past Ana and directly at the woman in the background.
“She’s like ‘it’s IHOP.., chill,’” wrote one user.

Another wrote: “The girl in the back is so real for that.”
In fact, the majority of users in the comment section claimed they related to the grimacing woman in the back.
Ana made a follow-up TikTok where she tried to understand the other woman’s perspective.
“POV: when a customer that came after you gets their food first,” she wrote in her new video, which contained the same footage as the original video, except this time, the camera zoomed in on the woman in the background.

Ana gets called out for a seemingly racist comment on her IHOP video.
For viewers who might not have gone through Ana’s comment section, TikTok user @realshaftandi created a video where he highlighted a seemingly racist response Ana wrote to another user.
The user, like many others who watched the video, claimed that he identified with the woman in the background of Ana’s video. In response to him, Ana wrote: “For a Black guy hating in other person that’s food for thought society doesn’t made you suffer with hate too? Interesting.”

Users were confused as to why she noted his race. In fact, many users interpreted Ana’s comment to mean that, if the user was Black, he was part of a minority group and should understand what it’s like to be judged.
This user wrote back to her: “Wow so not only are you a cringelord but you’re racist AF too.”

Speaking to Insider, Ana, who is Brazilian, claimed that the language barrier means that sometimes her wording may be confusing. However, she did confirm to the outlet that she was essentially nodding to his race as he should know what it’s like to be a part of a minority.

She said: “What I meant was as being part of the minority — you know, as me being a woman, he being Black, or a trans person — hating on strangers on the internet is something that I don’t swallow very well. It’s like, man, the society hated on you in your entire life, and this is what you spread?”
She also added: “I thought for being part of the minorities makes us better, in a way that we don’t do to nobody what they do to us our entire lives.”
Ana has yet to publicly address the backlash she has received for the comment.
Perhaps the best takeaway we can all learn from this video is to not judge others.

In the livestream, which has since been posted in full, Courtney is handling her mail while inside the post office in Broken Arrow, Okla. The clip begins innocently as Courtney is examining her packages before shipping them. Here’s what went down.
Woman thinks she was almost abducted and got it all on video.
Although the video starts off normal, it quickly takes a shocking turn. A woman enters from outside the frame and explains that she was lost and looking for help. “I’m lost but I don’t speak English very good,” the unidentified woman says. “I don’t know where I can go.”

Courtney attempts to give directions but the woman suggests that she was unsure how to get to her destination from the post office. Courtney then offers to take the woman home and then the encounter gets weird.
The video cuts to Courtney having a conversation with the woman and suggests that the woman contact a highway patrol officer to help her find her way home. Courtney continues to ask the woman where she was coming from but wasn’t able to get additional information. The woman simply repeated “I’m lost.”

A police officer then entered the building, but it isn’t clear who contacted the authorities. After Courtney recorded the livestream, her followers immediately requested a follow-up video.
@courtkneee2point0
why would someone show up to a CLOSED post office to ask for directions when there’s 24-7 Qasim stations (quick trip) all around us. I had just come back in from getting something from my car. did she (or they) see that I was alone and pregnant? I felt so uncomfortable. @🎰SLOT🎰7.0 I was enjoying listening to you call out a scammer in the background. lol

Courtney was unharmed in the potential abduction.
After Courtney posted the video of what she believes was an abduction attempt, her 16,000 TikTok followers demanded she provide an update on her wellbeing. “Please share a part two. The more awareness the better,” one person wrote. While others were thankful that Courtney was livestreaming the incident.

In the second half of the livestream, which Courtney posted later, the responding police officer escorts the woman out of the post office. It isn’t clear whether the woman was truly lost, but the officer was presumably able to help her get to her destination.
Courtney then explained that she went to the post office after dark to ship out packages for her customers. However, Courtney decided not to finish the task and left the post office out of fear that she was being watched.

Other attempted abductions have been caught on camera.
Courtney had every right to weary of the lone woman in the post office, as kidnapping attempts have been captured on video in abundance. In January a video showing an man attempting to pull a barista through a Starbucks drive-thru window went viral. The video, shared by the Auburn Police Department, shows a man in a pickup truck grabbing an employee and attempting to place zip ties on her wrists.

The man was later identified as Matthew Darnell, after he was arrested thanks to tips from viewers, according to Fox 13. Matthew was charged with attempted kidnapping in the second degree with a finding of sexual motivation. He was also charged with assault in the first degree.
A woman’s dog chewed up her Hobby Lobby papier mache pumpkin decoration and inside, she found sensitive documents used to make it.
In what one person is describing as a Hobby Lobby “kinder egg,” one woman shared her surprise discovery in a TikTok after her dog chewed through a papier mache pumpkin decoration. Clara (@cgillum8) shared in a video that after she came home from work to find her pumpkin broken with the insides exposed, she found something totally unexpected.

Clara shows what’s left of the pumpkin and explains that the inside of it looks like sensitive documents that have no place inside a decoration from a craft store. It appears that wherever this particular Hobby Lobby decoritem was manufactured was done so using paper that probably should have been destroyed. And now everyone wants a Hobby Lobby pumpkin of their own.

A woman’s papier mache pumpkin from Hobby Lobby was made using sensitive documents.
Let’s not make this into a whole thing, OK? As in, let’s not make a Hobby Lobby pumpkin challenge on TikTok, because if you’re anything like me, you already have way too much Halloween and fall decor in your home right now anyway.
But it’s certainly hard not to want to seek out one of these papier mache pumpkins yourself to see if all of them are made in this way. What other paper documents did Hobby Lobby use?

“I have a trial balance from a special education fund in here and their debt is over $3 million,” Clara says in her video, as she reads off the documents inside of her papier mache pumpkin. “I have account numbers inside of it. Um, I don’t feel like I should have this information. Like, Hobby Lobby, what are you doing here?”

One comment under the video suggests that a paper shredding company is actually selling pallets of documents to craft stores like Hobby Lobby. And if that’s the case, then that’s a whole other issue on top of sensitive documents being used to create random decor items.
Now, people want to get their hands on a Hobby Lobby pumpkin themselves.
While most of those who commented on Clara’s video are simply shook that she found something so random inside of her papier mache pumpkin, others want pumpkins now too so they can see if there are other documents inside of those.

“Is this an ad for Hobby Lobby? Because now I want one of those pumpkins,” one TikTok user commented. And, I mean, I get it.

“I’m about to go buy a papier mache pumpkin from Hobby Lobby just to see what I get,” another user commented.

In a way, this is recycling at its finest, but something tells me Hobby Lobby could have found a better source of material than something that no one other than the documents’ original owners should probably ever see.
But Hobby Lobby may not be the first company to recycle something and use it inside another product. Another person who commented under the video claimed that they once found part of a Lucky Charms box inside a Yahtzee dice cup. Though to be fair, it’s not exactly the same thing.

All I’m going to say is that if you are really that pressed to get a papier mache pumpkin of your own, you may want to act fast. Because something tells me these are about to fly off the shelves, either from customers, or employees under direction to do so.

Leah addressed the rumors in a Twitter post and said that she hasn’t had any plastic surgery.

When you live your life in the public eye, you quickly become accustomed to people constantly wanting to know more about your personal life (as annoying as that may be). For the stars of Teen Mom 2 (and other reality shows), things are taken to a whole new level and speculation seems to be pretty much constant. Fans are always wondering whether the moms are pregnant again, dating someone new, or getting married or divorced.
As one of the moms who has shared her life for years on Teen Mom 2 and Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Leah Messer has also been at the center of plenty of speculation. Recently, people have been wondering whether or not the mom of three has ever had plastic surgery. Here’s what we know.

Did Leah Messer have plastic surgery? Fans think she may have gotten a boob job.
First of all, we should start with the obvious. When Leah first started sharing her personal life with TV audiences, she was a young teen. So, it would be bonkers to assume that her body and face wouldn’t look different now that she’s in her late 20s.

Of course, that hasn’t kept people from wondering whether some of the changes in her appearance could have been due to plastic surgery. And it’s not like they’re just wondering to themselves. They’re wondering out loud. On social media. For all to see. Apparently, Leah got wind of the rumors, as she decided to address them in a Twitter post.
I have not had surgery peoplesss. 😅 However, I have most definitely done a 180 on how I choose to diet and live my life. & I feel like it finally shows! 🙏🏻😭♥️ My extensions are out, and I lightened up on the eye makeup too. 😂 #JustBeYou
“I have not had surgery peoplesss,” she wrote in a tweet published on Oct. 5, 2020. “However, I have most definitely done a 180 on how I choose to diet and live my life. And I feel like it finally shows! My extensions are out, and I lightened up on the eye makeup too.”
While Leah denies getting major plastic surgery (like the rumored boob job), she followed up with another tweet saying that she isn’t opposed to non-invasive cosmetic treatments like Botox. “Not saying that I’m not all about some fresh botox either,” she said. “Girl. Be. YoU! Do You! When is the next Botox party? I’m coming!”

Not saying that I’m not all about some fresh botox either… Girl. Be. YoU! Do You! When is the next Botox party? I’m coming! 😜😘
Obviously, if Leah had elected to undergo major plastic surgery, that would really only be relevant information to her and her doctors. And it wouldn’t be difficult to understand why, either — spending nearly half of your life on television probably isn’t the greatest thing ever for some people’s self-esteem, particularly when fans seem to feel entitled to know literally everything about your off-screen life.

Anyone who has kids knows it’s hard enough trying to raise them without people constantly spreading rumors about your own appearance and behavior. Our hats are off to all of the Teen Mom stars who are able to rise above the constant rumors and just keep on being themselves. It seems like Leah has simply made some lifestyle changes that she’s really happy about, and we’re super happy for her!
You can catch up with Leah and the other no-longer-teen moms on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. The show airs new episodes on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on MTV.
