Hey, times are tough out there and you gotta do what you gotta do.

And a woman named Angel shared an important set of videos on TikTok where she talked about being shamed by some viewers on the social media platform after she talked about the haul she got from a food bank.

First, let’s look at the video that people shamed her for…

WAKE UP WE HAVE FOOD ON THE TABLE TODAY!!!!! #foodbank #homeless #homelessness #traderjoes #wholefoods #food #foodhaul #church #fruit

Angel said that someone sent the video of her food bank haul to her mother with a message that said she was “probably doing it to get donations and pity from other people.”

In her video, Angel said, “I would like to say, I am not. Why is it OK for people to share things like Trader Joe’s hauls and Whole Foods hauls and what they eat in a day, but I can’t share my own take on that.”

She added that she’s doing things her own way because of financial difficulties and she said, “I have the right to have my own way of posting my own content.”

Take a look at her followup video sharing the shame.

Angel said that she was recently homeless and starving and that she started using a food bank to get back on her feet.

In her caption, she wrote, “I wasn’t even ashamed about going (nor was i proud) but now im too scared to talk about my own authentic life experiences.”

Now check out what folks had to say about it.

This viewer said she shouldn’t be ashamed of doing this.

Another TikTokker said we all need help sometimes.

And one person said this is the reality of life for a lot of people out there.

We gotta get away from this unrepentant shaming of folks.

It’s getting really old.
