Woman who boasted about lying to get food stamps complains she’s been cut off, now owes $35K

An over-sized black woman posted a video online boasting about getting food stamps, suggesting to others that they “better start lying” if they want to get their share of the taxpayer fraud.

It’s not clear who the tatted-up woman is, where she lives, or even if the story is true, but it’s getting a lot of attention — especially after she posted a follow-up video.

In the follow-up clip, the woman is looking less glamorous and her attitude has been checked somewhat as she claims that “they turned my food stamps off and I gotta pay back $35,000.”

“Now I’m f*cking aggravated because how do ya’ll know I wasn’t playing? Ya’ll just running with sh*t,” she complained. “But them motherf*ckers really turned off my godd*mned food stamps and I have to pay them back $35,000.”

Note that she always refers to the taxpayer-provided assistance as “my food stamps.”

UPDATE: Woman who proudly admitted to lying in order to get food stamps—and even urged others to do the same—has now posted a video claiming she’s been cut off and owes the government $35,000.

Of course, whoever “they” are, we have to presume that they didn’t “turn off” the woman’s food stamps based on online chatter, or that they didn’t assign restitution based on lawful actions.

Social media users were quick to celebrate what they hope is a rare case of real social justice in America. Then again, the reaction to Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts suggests that uncovering fraud and waste within the federal government may have a limited shelf life for some.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

She’s seriously asking why?

She’s aggravated?

Nah. You lied and you flaunted the lie & now you got caught. You’ll be ok.

I didn’t even apply for food stamps despite being homeless because i know they’ll turn us down. Again.

It’s called “fraud” and generally speaking, you’re getting off lightly if all you have to do is repay. I’d like to see her in jail, myself.

Do these people realize that the government doesn’t make money…… they take OUR MONEY and spend it.
So this woman bragging about all her free money was actually laughing at all of us taxpayers who pay for her!!

this is a classic case of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” This woman thought she could games the system, lie about food stamps, and get away with it. But guess what? The law caught up with her, and now she’s on the hook for $35,000. You can’t cheat the system forever.…

This is how we do it… ; says the gov while hitting play on the audit playlist.
“Lie on the form, flex on TikTok…
Now you owe us more than your whole Crockpot.”

Girl went from “free groceries” to “payment plan with interest.”
