My girlfriend always sought attention online, but her latest “prank” went too far. She decided that mocking my disabled brother would be a good way to go viral—a choice that crossed every line. I was stunned at first, frozen in disbelief at what she had done. But before I could even process it, the video had spread like wildfire, and the damage was already done. The backlash was immediate and overwhelming. Outrage poured in from everywhere, and the consequences were unavoidable. By the time my dad found out, it was already too late—things were about to take a devastating turn.

I tried to defuse the outrage sparked by Jess’s prank, desperately hoping to minimize the fallout. “Everyone, please, let’s take a moment to calm down. She didn’t mean any harm,” I urged. But the damage was already done. My brother Jacob, who has a disability, was devastated and deeply embarrassed by the video she posted. He withdrew completely, barely leaving his room and ignoring my calls and messages. Jess insisted it was just a joke, but there was nothing humorous about the pain etched on Jacob’s face or the tears he couldn’t hold back.
