You never know what someone is going through, or more importantly, where they’ve come from. Insults of any kind are painful, but jabs towards someone’s financial status are particularly uncalled for that very reason.

In January 2023, Singapore-based Filipina content creator Zoe Gabriel was on the receiving end of this particular flavor of mockery when she posted a TikTok about a purse from local retail brand Charles & Keith: a gift bought for her by her father.

In her excitement, the 17-year-old called the bag, which costs around $80, a “luxury” item as she unwrapped it. Her excitement was sadly cut short by some of the negative comments she received.

The comment that pushed her to speak up​

One comment seemed to stand out above the rest and prompted Gabriel to post an emotional response video.

For $4, you probably bought a shirt with 1 long sleeve and 1 short sleeve from a flea market stall. LOL!
