A Cuban tiktoker placed a sticker on her partner's car with the phrase "I have a toxic girlfriend" and then shared the moment in a video that has already received thousands of reactions.
The creator, known on TikTok as @lesyanisportilla and under the name "Stories of a Cuban," presented the scene with a clearly humorous and self-ironic tone.
In the 18-second clip, the young woman shows the sticker placed on her boyfriend's vehicle while stating, "Cuban women are not toxic, but just in case, just in case... wait, no, you're not going to see it well, I'm going to show you... but toxic, what you call toxic, we are not."
The description that accompanied the post reinforced the humorous wink: "Who said that Cuban women are toxic?"
The video was published in mid-September, and the contradiction between the message and the gesture did not go unnoticed among its followers, who responded with numerous comments and reactions.
Stickers with phrases like "I have a toxic girlfriend" or "I have a toxic wife" are part of a trend on social media. They are marketed as waterproof vinyl decals for cars on platforms like TikTok Shop and Etsy, and are often used in a sarcastic tone as a couple's joke that plays with the stereotype of relationships marked by jealousy.
The topic of jealousy in romantic relationships has also sparked debates and viral content among Cubans on social media. One of the most discussed was the one from tiktoker Alián, son of the comedian Antolín "El Pichón", who shared his interpretation last June on why some Cuban women develop jealous behaviors in their relationships.
That video divided opinions between those who saw it as a humorous reflection and those who questioned the generalization about Cuban women.
The video by @lesyanisportilla, for its part, now joins that conversation with sarcasm: denying that Cuban women are "toxic" while placing a sticker with that phrase on her boyfriend's car is the crux of the joke.
The post accumulated 1,754 «likes» and 87 comments, figures that illustrate the engagement it generated among TikTok users.
