In this episode, we dive into the viral story of Allison, a TikToker who exposed her toxic workplace online, only to lose her job and face harsh backlash. Claiming she was discriminated against due to her disability, Allison sparked a fierce debate about workplace rights, online advocacy, and professional boundaries. Things escalate when Bryan, a YouTuber and career coach, uses her videos as a cautionary tale, prompting Allison to accuse him of misogyny and call for the removal of his children in a heated response. Is this a case of justifiable outrage or a cautionary spiral of internet drama gone too far?
