Conversation

1. Did you just post that video?
2. Yeah, it blew up in an hour.
3. You used my texts word-for-word in that voiceover.
4. What, I paraphrased; I thought it was mine.
5. I saw it; captions literally match your DMs.
6. Commenters are tagging my mom and aunt already.
7. I didn't think they'd tag family.
8. Why would you turn private messages into a public script?
9. I used our old message for notes, okay?
10. Maya, someone screenshotted your drafts last night.
11. You saved my words as 'coming out script'?
12. I named it script so I could practice.
13. Then why are my exact sentences in the audio?
14. I whispered them while recording; it wasn't intentional.
15. People are DMing screenshots to my coworkers.
16. Someone also tagged a throwback family photo in comments.
17. I didn't add that photo, I promise.
18. So who did post it then?
19. There was a deleted comment saying 'she stole it'.
20. Someone threatened to post our whole conversation tonight.
21. Who would do that? I only had it on phone.
22. You told me you screenshot our talks last month.
23. I said screenshot for memory, not to share publicly.
24. This is messy; did you ask permission beforehand?
25. You didn't ask, Maya, you used my voice publicly.
26. I thought public coming out would help, not hurt.
27. My family is getting hate; there are safety concerns.
28. We need to take it down and tell TikTok.
29. I can't delete; the clip was licensed to another creator.
30. Licensed? Who did you sell our private words to?
