I (24f) was best friends with Mel (24f). Players in the story: My bf Aaron (29m), Mel’s bf Burp (32m), and my other friend/ roommate Aline (f24)

Backstory:My BF Aaron and I have been together for six months at this point. She was dating Burp and moved in with him.

One day at a friend’s party two months later. Mel, Burp, Aaron, Aline and I attended. We were having fun. Aline felt sick, so I took her out and sat her on a chair. I went to get her water, and when I returned, Burp stopped me, checking on me and Aline. Mel came and dragged Burp away, and they began fighting in another language; no one but them spoke. I checked on them, but Mel accused me of trying to steal her bf. Aline, Aaron, and I quickly left, not wanting to stir any more drama.

Mel came by the next day, apologizing for screaming at me and accusing me. However, Mel told me Burp kicked her out of their place. Aline and I agreed to let her stay.

Two months ago:

Mel was still on our couch two months later, hunting for a new place. That morning, Aline and I had asked Mel to start paying for her share, as our bills were getting high and unaffordable. Mel stormed out, pissed calling us the worst friends. Later in the evening, Aaron and Aline’s bf came over for some drinks and game night; we welcomed Mel when she returned home to join us and acted like nothing happened (Mel was always dramatic).Mel started paying and life went on.

We started to get nasty texts and calls from friends and people we knew, telling us how disgusting Aaron was. Half of his friends aren’t talking to him, calling him awful things. Later, Aaron found threatening letters at his door and his car. He has been getting calls from people and texts from people he doesn’t know telling him to end it and how horrible he is. Aaron’s family found out, and I told them the truth; they have been trying to see them, but he hides. He deactivated his socials and has been on sick leave from work since.

We were so lost to who would do this or what this is about. Then, Burp sent me a screenshot of Mel bragging to her how she was breaking me up, how this is revenge on me for ruining her relationship. She has been telling everyone Aaron cheated on me, calling him racial slurs and all other derogatory things about him.

Aline and I packed her things and put them outside the door. We changed our lock while Mel was at work. We sent her a text telling her to find somewhere else to go. Mel called Aline, asking how we could throw her out and Aline told her off.

This is where I may TA. I forwarded the text to all our friends and some of her immediate family. It got posted online with her tagged in it. Her work found out, and her school and she both been fired and suspended for the racial comments. I never intended for it to have such a large impact on her. She lost all her friends and her family is low contact with her now. She been living out her car since then…AITA?
