A newly divorced woman's divorce party, which featured a public display of her ex-husband's alleged transgressions, has captured widespread attention online. Content creator Abbey Wellman posted a TikTok video in June showcasing a poster board at her Chicago-based celebration that listed "10 worst things" her former spouse did during their marriage. The viral video, set to dramatic music, shows party guests reacting with visible shock and disbelief as they read the contents of the board.
The clip has amassed over 30 million views and tens of thousands of comments, with many viewers expressing a strong desire to know the specifics of the list. Despite the online demand, Wellman has stated in a follow-up video that she is "legally not allowed to post the board," leaving many viewers speculating. Some viewers attempted to zoom in on the video to decipher the text, but were met with blurry images.
Divorce parties appear to be emerging as a trend among some newly separated women. The article notes other examples, including a woman who burned her marriage certificate at her party and another who requested guests wear outfits representing past versions of her ex-husband. Wellman's video has fueled online discussion, with commenters jokingly offering to sign non-disclosure agreements or proposing that guests from the party might share the details on platforms like Reddit.
