So, ever since calling his brother out online, a bunch of his brother’s friends has begun “clowning” his brother in the comments– since apparently he lied and told people he plays video games with that he was an investment banker.
His brother was obviously mortified by that and has since deleted the post. Plus, his brother has refused to come out of his room since the entire ordeal.
Of course, his wife found out about what went down, too, but she actually took his brother’s side. She claims that it was really messed up for him to call out his brother publicly like that and believes that he could have been way more respectful in the situation.
On top of that, his aunt is beyond furious at him since he “aired out the family laundry.”
So now, he has been left feeling pretty confused. On the one hand, he believes that he might have been a jerk– not for saying what he said about his brother but for doing so publicly.
At the same time, though, his brother was the one who started it and posted the rant publicly in the first place. In turn, he has been left wondering if calling his brother out online for living a beyond-privileged life was the wrong thing to do or not.
If you were in the same financial position as him, would you support your sibling, too? Why do you think his brother felt entitled to write that Facebook post in the first place? Do you think he had a right to call out his brother’s hypocrisy online, or should he have done it in private? If you were in his shoes, how would you reconcile this situation?
