Tuson calls Ari out over birthday present

The Shade Room previously reported that Ari Fletcher went all out for her best friend Tuson’s birthday in July by gifting him a huge bag. At the time, Ari shared on her Instagram Stories that she gifted Tuson 20 rings.

The gesture quickly went viral on social media, with many praising Ari as a true friend. Now, Tucson is closing it all down! He claims he started the process with his car only to discover that the coins were not there.

In an Instagram Stories post, Tuson shared that he created a GoFundMe to recover from the “heartbreaking betrayal” of his best friend.

In the description of the fundraiser, Tuson shared that Ari sent him a message after the cameras stopped rolling. He explained that she included a disclaimer about the amount, revealing that her gift was actually $10,000 instead of $20,000. Ultimately, he claimed that he received nothing and accused Ari’s good deed of being “all about fame.”

“Despite my best efforts and hopes, I did NOT receive ANY payment, in fact after the cameras stopped rolling and I gave my heartfelt speech, followed by a heartfelt message and her response was ‘I love you too but I have a disclaimer’, then silence. Then I got a call and I was told it was actually $10,000. She wanted to tell me but they said she couldn’t risk not getting a good reaction from me for the show and the internet. In the end, I received $0.00 from ‘my rock’. All for fame and media to benefit her financially and reputationally,” Tuson wrote.

In addition to the GoFundMe page and his allegations against Ari, Tuson has made an announcement on Instagram that he plans to release a song titled ‘Lie 2 You’ on Friday, August 23, to share his story.

“I WILL not be silent! I will speak my truth and tell MY STORY! Lie to make you quit on Friday!” The reality TV star captioned the post.

Social media reaction

The roommates responded quickly to the tea in Shade Room Comments. Many people agreed that Ari was wrong, but they also criticized Tuson for going online and asking strangers for money!

Instagram user @thatdangkirrie_ wrote, “So we can go ask other people for money because we don’t receive any GIFTS?? 😂😂😂”

While Instagram user @a_s_19281 wrote, “If you can’t afford the car, don’t buy it 😐”

Then Instagram user @teedidit2 wrote, “She was wrong not to give him that. And he was wrong to create a damn fund for me.”

Another Instagram user @_eyecare4you wrote, “Asking strangers for 20K is crazy lol.”

Instagram user @reddgj2 wrote, “Did you start buying that car before you had the money?”

Finally, Instagram user @jaykaioken wrote, “If their friendship doesn’t end after this, it’s the strongest friendship I’ve ever seen in my life.”
