A viral video of what looks to be a boyfriend leading around his muzzled girlfriend on a leash has resulted in an extremely divisive online debate.
In the clip, a white woman in heels and a dress is led around a grocery story by a man who happens to be Black. The unknown couple was taped by an anonymous shopper who called the incident “humiliating” at one point.
The video was shared on YouTube, where it received many different responses, from people who believed it was a prank because neither of them had a shopping cart or basket to some calling it a BDSM fetish. Some even made the assumption that he was a pimp parading her around to be embarrassed.
