TikTok user @chronicallygirl has previously spoken about a foreign exchange student who lived with her and her family and whom she described as “evil.” She recently posted another video sharing more of what happened with the student, whom she calls Jenny. At the time of publication, the video had garnered 509,600 views and 603 comments. @chronicallygirl, whose name is Scarlet, begins the video by explaining that people have asked her to share more stories, so she decided to tell them. Jenny was a foreign exchange student from South Korea. Although Scarlet describes Jenny as evil, she acknowledges that the word might not be entirely accurate. “Maybe she was curious about the psychological effects of emotional and physical torture. Maybe she was really quick to adapt, and the environment that she needed to adapt to was one of emotional, psychological, physical warfare against me,” she says.
