She added that she shared the video because she thought it was cute. She felt happy getting a compliment from a stranger.

“I don't think he wanted this to be on the news, and I'm really sorry he just was giving me a compliment,” she shared. “I don't even know his name, signature, anything. I don't know anything. Don't have his phone number, and it's okay,” she added.
Addressing the allegations that she herself wrote the note, the influencer said in the video, “I did not write this. I promise, just a nice gentleman, that's all I have to say.”
