So just found out yesterday that my friend has been bullying a girl she works with online. To say I’m fuming would be an understatement! Long story short both my friend and this girl (friend is 30’s other girl is 20’s) work in the same line of work. I can’t say too much in case it’s outing. This girl has been getting more praise and benefits at work and my friend isn’t. To be fair my friend has been having a hard time lately but that’s no excuse. My friend badmouths her all the time to me and to others. I just put it down to jealousy and being frustrated with life also low self esteem as she didn’t grow up in a great environment and was bullied herself at home by various people. Yesterday after meeting with my friend for a coffee she was really into one as her partner and her were arguing and she was also arguing with in laws. She kept on bringing this girl up and calling her all the names under the sun including jelly roll whore with what the girl was wearing on her recent night out. I told her that’s a bit harsh it’s not her fault you’re struggling then she goes and says yes it is as she’s taking my opportunities away from me. Last night I looked this girl up on social media and as her profiles are public I seen a lot of nasty comments from a random account but I recognised how the words where worded and had a gut feeling that this was my friend only she was using a fake profile. They were disgusting comments about this woman and her child. I also saw her story saying how she’s fed up with all the bullying and it’s putting her in a very bad place. AIBU to call my friend out and perhaps cut ties?

I wouldn't be friends with someone like that in the first place. You've got no proof it's her but she sounds awful regardless.

Message her and say haha check out these comments, is it you? If she admits it screenshot and send it to her workplace. If she doesnt just withdraw from her.

Have to admit she was never as nasty years ago but this past year she’s just got more bitter and it’s been hard to put up with but those bullying comments might have hit the nail on the coffin for our friendship

She was a lovely individual and now she trashes people, so much so that you suspect her of bullying someone into ill health. It's quite the mystery.

Screenshot and 👀 to your friend. Shell know.

BillStickersWillBeProsocuted · 12/02/2025 15:45

Honestly I think I'd do a gentle fade on her and maybe send something to her work anonymously if I could get something solid

If you call her out you'll probably become her next victim

BrieHugger · 12/02/2025 16:06

I’d cut out the lols and hahas for starters.
Then I’d send that account a friend request so she knows you know.
Then I’d tell her to pack it in as you’ve seen a side of her you hate.

TheFormidableMrsC · 12/02/2025 16:16

What a bitch. Perhaps if she was better at her job she'd be getting the praise. Imagine blaming your failures on somebody else? I couldn't and wouldn't be friends with somebody like that, no.
