TikToker reveals how she accidentally helped her grandpa catfish a man TikTok: LiddellbirdTikTok user \u2018liddellbird\u2019 has gone viral on the app after sharing a story about how she helped her 70-year-old grandpa catfish a man from another country over the internet. Since 2016, TikTok has been the place to be for viral videos. While some of those videos start a trend, others go viral because of the story the creator is telling \u2014 like the guy that put Eels in a pit underneath his house. Now, Liddellbird has gone viral for a series of videos telling a story about how she accidentally helped her 70-year-old grandfather catfish a man from another country over the internet. TikToker helps her grandpa catfish When you meet someone over the internet, they may not be exactly who they say they are. They could be catfishing you, which is when someone on the internet acts like an entirely different person, sometimes fueled by pictures of someone else on the internet. Apparently, Liddellbird\u2019s grandpa is doing just that, and she ended up helping him. In her first video, she explained that her grandpa asked her to send him a picture of her flipping the bird. Being that her name is bird, it would make sense that he might want something like that for her profile picture in his phone contacts. \u201cHe proceeds to tell me that he\u2019s talking to someone on the internet from Romania that seems to be under the impression that he\u2019s a 30-year-old, ex-marine female. Then he tells me to look butch [in the photos],\u201d she explained.

She also showed text messages from her grandpa, who said: \u201cI was going to tell him I\u2019m a guy but I\u2019m having too much fun destroying his head.\u201d \u201cI guess he\u2019s just doing this because he is old and crazy. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s catfishing for money\u2026 he\u2019s just doing it for cruel entertainment. I thought I was just trying to be a convincing lesbian. I thought I was doing a great job but, um\u2026 I will not be doing this again,\u201d she explained.

On June 22, she revealed that she had a conversation with her grandpa in an attempt to get him to stop catfishing. Since posting the original video, she\u2019s received millions of views on her channel and even grew to over 16k followers in just a few days.
