Sit down and get comfortable, readers.
The following story may take awhile to explain. But we promise it’s worthwhile.
It centers on Shantasia Phillips, an 18-year old who Tweeted an ultrasound photo to Kyle Harris, a 25-year old behind the popular Twitter account @kylegotjokes.
She alleged that he had blocked her number…and that she was pregnant with his baby… and … well… we’ll let them take it from there:
You Want to Block Me?
Block THIS, Phillips wrote. She claimed this was a photo of the child Harris had put inside of her.
Everybody Apparently Know This
Harris tried to argue that the couple used a condom. But Phillips said everyone knows he likes to go in “raw.”
A Revealing Exchange
From there, Harris used a screenshot of their texts to deny he had fathered any babies, actually saying his friend may have been the one who had impregnated her. Oh: and apparently Harris had a girlfriend while he was sleeping with Phillips.
Speaking of That Girlfriend…
… Harris decided to get her involved.
But The Girlfriend Wasn’t Having It…
… like, at all.
Are You There?!?
Yeah. Brena wanted no part of this drama.
The Pregnancy Fallout
Harris wrote that Brena broke up with him because of the ultrasound and also blocked his number. This made him even more angry at Phillips.
Twitter Reacts!
Harris has over 38,000 Twitter followers. And they were getting into it!
It’s Cold Out There, Bro
Kyle’s followers had his back at least. Sort of.
Can I Help?
After getting a look at Phillips, some followers said they would gladly swoop in and be with her, child and all.
Hey, Me Too!
Many followers hilariously took this stance.
But… WAIT!
An astute Internet user reverse-image-searched the ultrasound and found an oddly similar one posted on a pregnancy blog in 2011. Really, this person did all this research.
And Another Thing!
Run a search for “ultrasound app” in the app store and you arrive at this app, with the exact same ultrasound. You really can find anything with your phone.
The Truth Comes Out
Contacted by Buzzfeed, Phillips finally confirmed that the ultrasound was phony. She is NOT pregnant. She went through with the hoax to “break up [Kyle’s] relationship with his current girlfriend, which happened, so I guess it worked.” She added: “Boys lie all the time. He shouldn’t have crossed me.” She officially scares the crap out of us.
