Woman dumps boyfriend straight away after his slut-shaming comments on her prom dress

We're well and truly in the midst of prom season and the internet is buzzing with stories of elaborate promposals and heartwarming prom night tales. Some teenagers are still in the stages of prepping themselves for the big night, meaning they're on the hunt for the perfect prom dress. It's a big deal, because not only is it your one chance to dress up and express yourself with your friends, but no doubt the whole evening will be photographed from every angle as well.

For 16-year-old Maddie Witham, she finally found the perfect floor-length dress. But when she excitedly texted her boyfriend (and assumedly her prom date), he replied with an unkind and low-key vile remark. The high school sophomore put screenshots of their text conversation on Twitter, where followers were shocked to see she had been slut-shamed by him about the dress.

"Sooo I found a dress," the Lakeland High School student texted him to begin the exchange.

He enthusiastically texted back asking her to show him a picture. Maddie obliged, taking a selfie but making it black and white in order to leave the colour of the dress a surprise for the big day.

However, she didn't quite get the feedback she expected... the dude didn't love the dress (fine, each to their own), but he actually thought it was okay to instruct that her it was unacceptably revealing.

"Too much skin, get rid of it and I’ll get you a new one b," he wrote in reply to the picture.

"It’s not too much skin, wtf," she wrote in defence.

Rather than accept that it was her own choice to wear whatever she felt good in, the guy went on to insult Maddie by slut-shaming her, all while making a buffer for himself by adding that he meant "no offense":

"You look like a slut b. No offense," he texted. To that Maddie said boy bye, replying with a curt: "I’ll stick with the dress and get myself a new man, bye."

Her response was perfect, and it seems the people of the internet agreed.

"I put it on Twitter just to expose him and show how mean he was to me," she told Insider in an interview after the tweet did the internet rounds. "I was so surprised when I saw that it went viral because I did not even mean for it to go viral."

She added that she really did break up with him for good, and directed followers to her Instagram so they could keep an eye out for the dress when she posts pictures of it on the day. It's unclear about whether she's found another date for the big night, but I'm guessing it won't be hard for her thanks to her new band of Twitter followers.
