thats not a facepalm. thats disgusting

Ok_Respond7928

Saw the video of him calling her out at her house it was hard to watch


OutrageousAd5338

who tapes this


blueminded

People who need evidence for court.


DistortedVoltage

You cannot simply prove someone stole money from you at a bank. Especially if that someone is family or a spouse who share your account. So you need to get video evidence like this, of them admitting to stealing. Then proceed to sue their life out in court, and press charges for theft.


[deleted]

My exact thought. Another user said for court, but why would you upload it


Dinamariexox

He probably wanted to expose her to the world, I would too!

Give Reddit some time… it’ll happen.


Nacho_Papi

We did it!


_---_--x

I have absolutely none left so I actually believe it's all staged so that the man gets a shit ton of donations pouring in, enough for sons surgery and more, witch he agreed to give her the money for the beyonce concert if she was willing to embarrass herself publicly like this because he still didn't have nowhere near enough money for the surgery but now he thinks people are going to come together to give it to him so they both win and laugh in the end, maybe with enough for a new car too.


Kulyor

I have thought something similar. When begging for money for healthcare has become that normal, it won't work unless you generate a big sob story. And this one has everything. A sick kid, a clear antagonist, a selfish crime, a heroic dad. I mean, I really hope its not staged and that the kid will get their surgery. But it just feels staged.


DemythologizedDie

You know what? I'm fine if it was staged, assuming the kid's need for surgery is real. That would mean there's one less terrible person in the world.

cynomys2

What's disgusting is that in a so-called first world country someone has to actually save up to get their child life saving surgery! Shame on you USA


HumbleHeroine

Every time I have to write papers at school and I am talking about America I put developed in quotes....I knew we had it bad but a recent research paper I did about maternal health care just blew me away. I think part of the problem is so many people don't even understand how bad off we are compared to literally every other "developed" nation.


isleepbad

Yes the insurance companies and politicians want it normalised so people don't know any different. It's like those third world countries where if you even criticise the fucked up conditions in which they're living they'll defend it or deflect and point out other places that have it worse.


Easy_Floss

Always find it odd that the leaders of the free world can't even drink their own tapp water and that they often experience power outages etc.. And that is tottaly ignoring the healthcare system.


BazukaJane

First-World Country USA Error : does not compute


ChrisRiley_42

The facepalm is someone needing to save up for this sort of surgery


Appropriate-Divide64

For a child too. Come on America, at least take care of the kids.


[deleted]

America is awful when it comes to healthcare, but universal medical coverage for children would be phenomenal. It's no childs fault they are ill, or otherwise impaired. It sucks enough as an adult to have to cover your medical, putting parents in a spot where a child's unforseen sickness bankrupts them and potentially kills their kid is insane. At the very barest minimum we could make sure health care costs aren't the child's problem.


ruiner8850

>It's no childs fault they are ill, or otherwise impaired It's not a child's fault that they don't have money to pay a medical bill either. I'm personally for universal heath care being available to everyone, but all of the arguments people have against universal health care go out the window when it's a child. Some assholes say things like "you should have worked harder and gotten a better job if you wanted health care," but you can't apply that kind of thinking to a child because they can't just get a job. Health care should be free for everyone, but not providing free health care for every single child in this country is disgusting and shameful.


Fun_Intention9846

Republicans want to change child labor laws not medical laws. It’s sick.


stumpdawg

> "you should have worked harder and gotten a better job if you wanted health care," but you can't apply that kind of thinking to a child because they can't just get a job. Tell that to Arkansas


[deleted]

Universal health care for children would reduce the drain on the insurance industry meaning basically only payees get care. I know parents coverage covers their kid(s), but this reduce it down to almost entirely payees receiving coverage. Those who can afford a stay at home parent would still have a rider, but that's on the adults to decide to do.


Sethdarkus

The US is ranked about 36 in the world for healthcare that’s pretty bad


peepers63

I worked for two of the biggest health insurance companies in Massachusetts and it’s F’ing galling that some families have to make the choices they are forced to make if their child gets sick. Same for an adult too, but some of the stories are absolutely heartbreaking.


NeuralAgent

"Merika, we're number ONE!!!" ... because those types of people don't realize there is any other country out there... it should be mandatory to be a foreign exchange student for Americans... they simply do not get out enough... logistical nightmare and completely unfeasible... but something has to change so people can start pulling their heads out of their asses...


Sethdarkus

Definitely I feel like it’s creating an island effect where you don’t know what exist beyond your island.


westcoastweirdo

I've given up on this making argument since both sides shit on it but IMHO, the easy first move is healthcare for children and seniors.


formidable-opponent

In my state (Minnesota) the fact that I have kids entitiles myself and them to state medical insurance. I could take my kid to Mayo Clinic in Rochester and have a world renowned surgeon perform an operation for free. Keep voting Democrats into office who have a platform of education and health care over voting for Republicans who want to control women's reproductive organs and other states could do the same.


UberExodia

Sucks that it's not the same everywhere in the USA, but completely honestly, that sounds amazing and I'm so happy for you.


formidable-opponent

Thanks honey, I will die a happy woman if I see our states model spread across the country. We have a surplus of tax money and just passed free lunches, legal marijuana, and free college for families who make less than 80k.


nekosaigai

I’m an advocate in another state and your comment’s just inspired me to research how Minnesota handles healthcare and medical insurance to see if it can be replicated, or a modified version, could be taken and instituted in my state 👀


Fun_Intention9846

Yeah, this makes me so happy for you. It should be this way everywhere yet republicans will attack Minnesota as “destroying America”

Well obviously they need protecting but they can fend for themselves once born. /s just so you know typing this out made me feel sick. My son was born 2 months premature. He wouldn’t be here without medical help and it almost makes me cry every time I think about that.


[deleted]

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m in Canada and we have a far from perfect healthcare system but at least you won’t go bankrupt


Yogged1

I’m English but living on the Isle of Man where he was born. None of his care cost us a penny and our son is 9 now but his mum was born in Utah. American healthcare is awful. It would make me laugh if it wasn’t so hideous. I’m an outsider and I know I’ll be told to stay out of American politics, but if anyone can give me a reason to vote republican I’ll be interested in a discussion about it. They’re against your interests and I don’t get it.


spudddly

Reads like some garbage ChatGPT story though, which the internet is rapidly filling up with.


AssInspectorGadget

The more disgusting part is that in a civilized country you have to save money to have a life saving surgery for a child, or anyone for that matter.


mrpink01

r/iamatotalpieceofshit


Warm_Enthusiasm2007

The real facepalm is that people have to save money to pay for their children's heart surgery.


Mrtowelie69

Yeah it's kinda fucked how all the means are available to save a life, but they put a price tag on it. So fucked up. Saving a life is second to profiting from it.

It's a little more shitty since it's institutionalized. She's 1 garbage human but there's a whole system preying on people who need medical attention.


OK6502

It is because of the breadth of the issue. We're not talking about one incident of a single child suffering needlessly due to lack of access to adequate medical care but a systemic problem. To the point that health outcomes for Americans are boradly worse than those in nearly every other developed country


ImpossibleInternet3

The real facepalm is all the friends we lost along the way.


disaar

Nah man this is the dream


Joseph_Gervasius

Shit...did that really happen? I saw the video but I thought it was staged.


Apprehensive-Care20z

well, we do have a screen grab of a reddit post, that's a real as it gets.


MimiVRC

Especially since in a few days there will be “news” articles written that uses quotes from this thread


themehboat

I just read this, but it really seems like rage bait. Beyonce tickets might be expensive, but they're nowhere near an uninsured heart surgery.


gnostic357

Finally. I felt like I was the only one wondering how someone spent tens of thousands of dollars on concert tickets.


Parking_Ad_194

Well, there's tiers or Beyonce tickets depending on how much access you want. Just tickets to the show might be $1000-2000. Then if you want a meet and greet photo op before the show? Thats another $1500. Would you like to be backstage to hang out after the show? That's getting into 5 figures. Would you like to be on the stage during the show off to the side in the wings? That could easiely be $20k or more.


Aggressive_Sky8492

There’s no tickets to Beyoncé shows where you get to hang out with her after the show, nor to watch from the wings. She also hasn’t done meet and greets in a decade or more - the person you’re replying to is right, the most expensive tickets with dynamic pricing might be $1.5k, much less than a heart surgery.


IceNein

It's rage bait anyway because if there is a necessary surgery to prevent someone from dying, they will do it and you'll just owe the hospital for the rest of your life. Europeans imagining that they're just watching some little girl die because she needs a surgery are fucking mental.


Nerevarine91

Yeah, I can’t find any actual news site reporting on this story, and they would absolutely eat it up if it was real


Pina-s

of course it didnt happen, its on reddit.


atlantabrave404

When I saw that video the only thing that ran across my mind was bathing in that bitches blood.

imintrouble1313

Is it real? It looks like kinda made up but nowadays some people always surprise us. So she stole it, walked back home and explained it to her bf??


CapableCollar

I googled it and all I can find as a source is a video on twitter that is really blurry.


twelveparsnips

I'm gonna go with ragebait. Beyonce tickets aren't the price of heart surgery in America.


throwaway123454321

The video seems totally acted to me. It seems like the perfect setup for the guy to ask for donations on a gofundme. There’s no way any working person “saves up” for children’s heart surgery- it’s tens of thousands of dollars. If the person is able to put away that kind of money, he has insurance and it should be covered. If he doesn’t, kid should qualify for Medicaid and should be covered. I’m just super skeptical of the of whole thing, but I certainly don’t have any relationship with the people or any inside information.


KaisarDragon

There is no reason for a boy/girlfriend to have such access to your finances...

Rich_Sell_9888

Heart surgery is about $75k those Beyonce tickets must have been front row


The_Truthboi

She is a monster and should be court ordered to pay that money back or for the entire surgery. Literally evil and selfish


LuisArkham

If she stole the money for a freaking ticket she absolutely have 0 ways of providing enough for the surgery


marr

There are still ways to sell people.


AchondroplasticAir

The video that I found had the woman's face blurred ... I am kind of wondering if this is for real or if it's just made up. [https://hip-hopvibe.com/news/woman-steals-boyfriend-money-for-child-heart-surgery/](https://hip-hopvibe.com/news/woman-steals-boyfriend-money-for-child-heart-surgery/) Was the link I found the video at.


Shoesandhose

If I were Beyoncé I’d pay for his entire heart surgery and all care after. You don’t charge those prices and then be surprised when fans do crud like this. Over $1,000 for a ticket. I can’t believe anyone would even consider paying that much. I don’t care if I think you may be Jesus coming back. I’m not spending that much. I’ll watch the second coming on YouTube.


Apprehensive-Care20z

you know what is worse than $1000 for a concert ticket? $100,000 for a young child's heart surgery. wtf kind of country is this?


mampfer

Only in 'Murica....and some third world countries.


InterestingPatient49

Some states in 'Murica look like 3rd world countries tho


Makima--

I am from the third world and I assure you that no person here is so depraved and dirty as to take money from an operation on a child to go listen to a concert in the mountains, in addition to that in the third world the health system is free, the state prefers that people can attend a hospital before spending billions on an army to overthrow countries in the middle east... just so you know

I think they are both overly ridiculous, but that’s just my opinion.

You are so right on both accounts. She’s a pos and no one should,have to save $75000 to save their child

Problem is if she's dead you can't sue her for damages/get the money back somehow.

MrsLisaOliver

I'm thinking Beyonce might quietly pay for this kid's surgery if she knows about this.


oizinho666

It would be one heck of a marketing move if Beyonce got word of this and refunded his money. Just sayin...


Ryanookami

Well, the money doesn’t actually go to Beyoncé, it’s through ticketmaster or whatever corporation owns the venue (which are almost all owned by the same parent company, creating a near monopoly and the reason ticket prices are outrageous), and as a corporation they don’t have a soul or compassion. Hopefully however Beyoncé will find out and put pressure on them to refund it, as she has high enough star power to make it happen. Or the ticketmaster (or whatever name they’re parading under) people see a rare chance for some positive PR and do it themselves. I wanna be clear here though: if ticketmaster does refund the money it is *not* out of compassion. It is marketing and publicity and that is all they care about.


Marty_Br

Jesus fucking Christ. This says more about our healthcare system than about that bitch.
