Though, the TikToker has downplayed some wild theories. Just like every other social media platform, TikTok is full of amateur detectives, taking a video and breaking down the body language, small movements, and overall vibe of the scene. If you\u2019ve been scrolling across social media in the past few days, you\u2019ve most likely come across the \u2018Couch Guy\u2019 video which shows TikToker laurenzarras surprising her boyfriend Robbie at college by walking into a party unexpected and heading right towards him to give him a hug. Naturally, the internet has started some rumors about the post, suggesting that the TikToker\u2019s boyfriend was being a bit suspect as she walked in, claiming that there are red flags all over the scene given he\u2019s sat with other girls. Though, she\u2019s not having it. What is the original Couch Guy TikTok video? As noted, the original Couch Guy post has spread far and wide, especially on TikTok where the video has 32 million views and has become the launching point for many stitches and reposts. In the wake of all of the True Crime-like breakdown of her video, the TikToker jumped into the comments of her original post and addressed some of the wild claims being made about her boyfriend and the negativity around the post. \u201cBreaks my heart that people can watch a special moment and bring so much negativity. Please think before you assume anything about my relationship,\u201d Lauren said before following that up shortly after. \u201cAs for the phone comment, his phone was in his lap:) thanks for the concerns though! and no I\u2019m not in denial.\u201d Couch Guy responds to TikTok theories She even made a duet post with \u2018Couch Guy\u2019 where they poked fun at some of the rumors. Robbie himself urged viewers to not be a \u201cparasocial creep\u201d and to \u201cgo get some fresh air\u201d instead of continuing to break down the post. Naturally, some TikTok users were split on the post. \u201cGirl, you trying to convince us or yourself?\u201d asked one skeptical viewer. \u201cWe\u2019re all here to talk when you\u2019re ready,\u201d added another skeptic. \u201cHonestly, I\u2019ve been with my bf for 7 years and I feel like he would give exact same reaction as yours did. you\u2019re strong for not letting this get to u,\u201d commented one supportive viewer. Lauren has urged TikTokers to \u201cstop the hate\u201d surrounding the post as well, given people are not letting up with their wild accusations. Though, that\u2019s unlikely to happen anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikTok couch guy: TikToker defends relationship as viral post has internet split TikTok: LaurenZarrasThe \u2018Couch Guy\u2019 TikTok has taken over the internet as amateur detectives have been trying to dissect the relationship between laurenzarras and her boyfriend.
