It's been around 4-5 months since everything went down, and while most people have moved on, I still can’t forget the disgusting behavior I witnessed. The way some people can treat someone they once considered family is beyond me.

One of the people from our old friend group made a deliberate plan to turn everyone against a close friend of ours—someone who never deserved any of this. He manipulated a minor to twist the truth, painting this friend as a predator. The worst part? He knew the real story and just stayed quiet as it all played out. Then he deactivated his account, claiming he’d come back once things "calmed down." To top it off, he tried guilt-tripping us by saying, "If you cut me off, it means you never cared about our friendship." Really?

This same guy had a girlfriend, who I helped him get with. I’ve known her long before they even started dating. I was there when she cried after he called her by another girl’s name, and I helped reassure her that he was serious about their relationship, despite her insecurities. But when everything hit the fan, she ghosted me. I had just come back from a month-long break due to work and personal stuff and was only trying to understand both sides of the story. But apparently, not immediately picking a side meant I was a traitor.

Later, she told me I didn’t reach out to her, saying it meant our friendship wasn’t real. But the thing is, she ignored my messages first, and I didn’t even know she had issues with me. I came to realize she was probably jealous of how close I was to her boyfriend and his best friend before she was even in the picture. Talk about irony.

After everything went down, the friend who’d been betrayed opened up to me and shared all the behind-the-scenes stuff. He told me how this guy was tired of his girlfriend being insecure, always crying, and how he regretted not dating the girl before her because they had better chemistry. This friend begged me to keep quiet, but after watching them drag down someone who’d done nothing but take the hits, I couldn’t stay silent. I exposed the whole situation—the lies, the manipulation, and how he treated his girlfriend. Unsurprisingly, they broke up after five months of dating.

So now I’m left wondering: AITA for exposing everything and not feeling guilty about it?
