Tuson Calls Out Ari Over Birthday Gift
The Shade Room previously reported that Ari Fletcher went all out for her best friend Tuson’s birthday in July by dropping a big bag on him. At the time, Ari shared on her Instagram Stories that she gifted Tuson 20 bands.
The gesture quickly went viral on social media, with many praising Ari as a true friend. Now, Tuson is shutting it all down! He’s claiming he started the process with his car only to find out that the coins were nonexistent.
In an Instagram Stories post, Tuson shared that he created a GoFundMe to recover from the “heartbreaking betrayal” by his best friend.
In the fundraiser’s description, Tuson shared that Ari sent him a text after the cameras stopped rolling. He explained that she included a disclaimer about the money, revealing her gift was actually $10,000 instead of $20,000. In the end, he claims he received nothing and alleges Ari’s good deed was “all for clout.”
“Despite my best efforts and hopes, I DID NOT receive ANY payment, which actually after the cameras stopped rolling and I did my heartfelt speech followed by a heartfelt text and her response was ‘I love you too but I have a disclaimer,’ then went silent. After that I received a call and I was told it was really actually $10,000. She wanted to tell me but they said she couldn’t risk not getting a good reaction out of me for the show and the internet. In the end, I received $0.00 from ‘my rock.’ It was all for clout and the media to benefit her financial gain and reputation,” Tuson wrote.
In addition to the GoFundMe page and his allegations against Ari, Tuson announced on Instagram that he plans to release a song titled, ‘Lie 2 You’ on Friday, August 23, to share his side of the story.
“I WILL not be silenced! I will speak my truth and tell MY STORY! Lie 2 you drops Friday!” the reality star captioned the post.
