During the first weekend of September, TikToker @thechappellshoww had her bachelorette party in Cabo. There were 10 girls, including her five sisters and her friends. Two girls were from Texas, which is also where she lives, while her sisters and everyone else were from San Diego.
She ended up having to kick her best friend/bridesmaid out of her bridal party and out of her life for good, all over a measly $15.
On the first night, they went to a nightclub. They had to get bottle service in order to get a booth, so she bought a bottle. Her sister ordered another bottle, and someone else ordered a bunch of beers.
The tab came out to $800, so the next day, her sister texted everyone and said that they each needed to send her $80. TikToker @thechappellshoww’s two friends, “A” and “K,” were not happy because they claimed that they didn’t drink a lot.
She decided to pay for their portions because she didn’t want to deal with the drama. However, “A” ended up emailing the nightclub for an itemized receipt, and she and “K” obsessed over it all week.
“I told them I’ll pay for their portions since I wanted to buy a bottle anyway, but they insisted that they didn’t want that to be the solution,” @thechappellshoww explained.
“So, it’s weird. They’re like coming up with this problem, but didn’t want to take a solution.”
On the second night, all the girls were getting ready to go out to dinner and the club. As @thechappellshoww was curling her hair, she saw “A” and “K” whispering to each other in the mirror, so she asked if they were going to the club after dinner with everyone.
“A” said that she had a migraine and would see how she felt after dinner.

At dinner, “A” was drinking cocktails, which didn’t seem like something someone with a migraine would do. After dinner, “A” and “K” went back to their Airbnb, while the rest of the girls went out.
On the third morning, “A” texted her, asking if they could talk. “A” and “K” told her that she had made them feel cheap by offering to pay for them, so now, they felt uncomfortable around her sisters and friends.
They even revealed that they had been looking up flights to go home because they were so bothered by this.
She told them they could leave since it seemed like they had made up their minds already. “A” and “K” said that they needed to discuss it more over breakfast.
After breakfast, they decided to forget about the whole thing and proceeded to have a great time.
At the end of the trip, “A” and “K” announced that they were willing to pitch in for at least one of the bottles from the nightclub, and it would cost $65 for each of them.
“In my head, I’m like, girl, you started all this drama, you guys sat me down, you berated me, you threatened to leave my bachelorette party all over $15…this is insanity,” @thechappellshoww said.
Once the trip was over, she didn’t hear from “A” for three weeks. She completely ghosted her, and only reached out because @thechappellshowws changed the Amazon password for the account they shared, so @thechappellshoww told her that they were no longer friends and blocked her immediately.
Later, she discovered that “A” had posted about the situation online, asking if she had been in the wrong. The responses were not on her side and called her out for ruining a friendship over $15.
