People online are feeling little to no sympathy for a TikToker who only began to take the coronavirus seriously once several of her family members died from it.
Jada Woods’ “character development” was documented in a series of videos on her TikTok account, @jadawoods1.
In the first video that is garnering attention across the internet, Woods rails against face masks and brags about going maskless into stores that require them. In another, which was posted before the 2020 presidential election, she urges her 62,000 followers to vote for President Donald Trump.
That's when things take a turn. In the next video that people online are pointing to, she tearfully details how the coronavirus has affected her personally.
"I'm on the way to my uncle's funeral—the one who called me his little girlfriend growing up because I thought he was strong like Walker, Texas Ranger," she says.
She adds that the next day, she'll be going to the funeral of her grandfather, who recently went fishing with her father.
Her aunt, she says, is on a ventilator. "She's going to wake up in a few weeks to the news" that "her dad's funeral is tomorrow."
On TikTok, she admitted to not taking the coronavirus seriously until that moment, captioning that video, "I never took COVID serious until now. Praying for all the families going through the tragedies of the virus. #prayforme #covid19."
Woods made a video responding to a user who who said they would not be praying for "Trumpies" and that Woods "fucked up." "What in the actual heck is wrong with people?" she questions.
In a follow-up video, Woods shares that her aunt, who was on a ventilator, died on the day of her grandfather's funeral.
In a video that Woods says is "for all of you haters," she puts on a mask to go into Starbucks.
Someone turned Woods' TikTok videos into a compilation video that has since gone viral on both Twitter and Reddit and garnered little support for the TikToker.
Many questioned why it took Woods being affected personally for her to have a change of heart.
"I feel like a bad person, but I'm not finding a lot of empathy in my heart for her. Who knows how many people she murdered with her flippancy before it started affecting her personally? So selfish," one viewer commented.
A few users even suggested that she might've been the one who infected her family members, given she was refusing to wear a mask in public. "She probably murdered the people she's crying about," one redditor commented.
While other viewers are caught up on the fact that her uncle used to call her his "girlfriend" and are accusing the TikToker of lying for clout, some are using the videos as a teachable moment.
"We can learn from others mistakes. Or we can learn our own mistakes," one said.
"Don't wait for your loved ones to die to change your mind," another urged.
Update 11:25am CT, Dec. 9: While Jada Woods declined to comment, she told the Daily Dot that she never claimed to refuse wearing a mask. After the publication of this article, her videos were deleted.
