In a shocking twist that has captivated the internet, TikTok star and influencer Qenlin Blackwell was caught up in a financial mess after she “accidently” bought a $100,000 couch. 

The influencer, who is well-known for her captivating content, posted a video in October 2022 in which she appeared to be in a state of shock and tears as she explained to her followers what had happened.

Blackwell recounted how she entered her credit card information into an online bidding process for a couch, thinking it was a joke.

She had no idea that she would end up winning the bid, but to her shock and anger, the luxurious sofa was charged to her account, causing her to panic and almost crash her car.

"I've got to stop now because I'm about to vomit," she said in the now viral video.

The influencer didn't stop there. She asked her fans if they had a million dollars, and if they could lend her some. 

The video went viral, gaining 6.5 million YouTube views and splitting the internet. 

Many of her followers questioned why she entered her card details for something she didn't intend to buy. 

"Girl, who put in card info like a joke," one user wrote, while another added, "I'm sorry but why put your info in." 

A third user chimed in, "How do you put all your info in and then press purchase?"

As the story continued to unfold, Blackwell continued to express her pain in a subsequent video, saying she was thinking about joining O**yFs to recoup the cost. 

She mentioned that she had no choice but to do it, even though she didn't want to. She explained that she needed the money for dental care and to fix the side mirror of her car.

She also expressed her frustration, saying that she couldn't find a job at the moment and was feeling nauseous because she knew she wouldn't get her money back.

The incident involving Blackwell's couch serves as a reminder of the risks associated with online bidding and emphasizes the importance of being cautious and informed when engaging in online activities.

As the news about this incident continues to spread, it captures the attention of people worldwide and sheds light on the unpredictable and sometimes bizarre nature of social media and its impact on our lives.

The reaction to this story has ranged from sympathy to skepticism as people try to understand the reality of influencer lives and how there are sometimes two sides to every story.
