Viewers were stunned to see the TikToker in such a state and rushed to ask her what happened — and it turns out that the injury was theresult of an accidentthat happened while she was tipsy.
According to the TikTok star, she’d gone home early after a night out drinking and accidentally hit her eye against a pocket door in her house.
She didn’t realize how hard she’d been hituntil the next morning,and claims that the bruising looks so severe due to a type of medication she’s on that causes her to bruise easily.
Although she claimed she’s a bit embarrassed about the whole ordeal, she managed to joke with her fans about the wild accident, who both roasted her and wished for her speedy recovery during the live stream.
