A TikTok creator says the year after her senior-year breakup did not go the way she expected. What started as a text message breakup, she says, turned into months of run-ins, a suspension, and eventually a no-contact order — and now that the order has expired, she’s decided to tell the whole story publicly.
The creator, Bree Richardson, posted a roughly seven-and-a-half-minute storytime video addressed directly to camera, opening with a warning that viewers should settle in because “this is not going to be a short story.” She explains the timing up front: “The no contact order ended today, so I can finally share the story.”
According to her account, the breakup happened in March of her senior year, and it was her ex’s own request that it happen over text. “While we were dating, he told me to break up with him over text because he would never be able to do it in person,” she says, adding that she “followed his wishes.”
A breakup quickly turns into something more
From there, Richardson describes a rapid escalation, with the breakup allegedly turning into a situation involving repeated unwanted encounters and accusations of harassment. Days after the breakup, she alleges her ex threw a basketball at the back of her head during a PE class, and that later the same day, someone poured soda inside her car in the school parking lot. “The cameras caught him doing it,” she says, though she notes she doesn’t remember any consequences following that incident.
She says an apology followed the next morning, when her ex approached her car with a note and an invitation to his graduation party. “Honestly, I was appreciative of the apology at the time,” she says, “I was still hurt about the fact that he threw a basketball at the back of my head.”
The reprieve was short, according to Richardson, who claims her ex followed her to a relative’s house that same day, then, roughly a week later, allegedly hit her with a water bottle thrown from across the school parking lot. She says a school principal witnessed it and that her ex received a two-day suspension, during which, she claims, he warned her to “enjoy my two days” before he made her life “a living hell.”
Richardson’s video also describes a parking-lot incident involving a car speeding toward her and a friend, which she says is what finally pushed her father to file for a no-contact order. Even after that order was granted, she alleges the harassment continued in different forms, including a soda can thrown at her car outside her workplace. “The cops catch him on camera at my work,” she says. “They eventually arrest him.”
The comments on Richardson’s video reflected a familiar reaction to viral TikTok storytimes, with viewers debating the details of a creator’s personal experience as the story reaches a wider audience. One commenter wrote, “So proud of you! You stood up for yourself. You didn’t let him win.”
Another was more pointed about the terms of the order itself, writing, “BTW. no contact order isn’t an NDA. u can tell any story u want long as yall not contacting each other lol.” A third simply reacted to the scale of the story, writing, “Oh so this is actually insane.”
Richardson closes the video without naming her ex or airing further grievances, saying she holds “no hate against his family” and hopes he’s “doing good.” There have been no further public statements from Richardson or her ex beyond what appears in the video and its comments.
