For her late husband’s mistress, one widow had a lethal retort.
Bridgette Davis, 36, used TikTok to narrate the awkward discussion she had with her husband’s girlfriend after informing him that he had died.
Davis captioned the video, “When your ten-year-husband dies and you have to notify his mistress,” before presenting a harsh text discussion she had with her late husband’s lover. The video of the Cincinnati woman has now received over 1.6 million views.
Davis’ spouse, the father of her two children, committed himself in 2018 following a long struggle with bipolar disease.
Before his death, the widow was aware that her husband had been seeing another lady and chose to text her to let her know.
Screenshots included in Davis’ TikTok video show the mistress responding in shock.
“F – – k. I can’t believe this,” she first replied, before adding: “I can’t, I’m losing it. I can’t do this again. He promised me.”
The mistress then asks Davis if she could go to where her lover was being buried.
“No,” Davis dryly responded.
Some TikTok viewers claimed Davis should have told the mistress where the man was buried, while others claimed Davis should have told the mistress where the man was buried.
“It appears that you texted her solely to be cruel to her and prevent her from visiting. One critic responded, “Either be courteous or go on.”
“She, too, had lost a love. A second individual added in, “He damaged your relationship, not her.”
Davis received a mixed response to her TikTok videos. Some said she should have been kinder to her late husband’s mistress.
However, in another video, Davis shared further screenshots, in which the mistress admits she knew the man was married.
“You know he was my husband for 10 years right? That we have two amazing kids together that I homeschool?” Davis asked in their text exchange.
“Yes. I know a lot about things. He needed support, [he] told me him and I were peas in a pod,” the mistress brazenly rebutted.
In an additional video, Davis disclosed that her husband was not living in their marital home at the time he took his own life.
The couple had separated several months earlier, but the husband had promised he wanted to reconcile shortly before his death.
