Did Chicago teen sleep with his bullies’ mothers?
Debunked: Viral meme falsely claims Chicago teen slept with bullies’ moms – Dubawa
In 2021, a viral image circulating on social media claims that a teenager from Chicago slept with the mothers of five bullies to assert dominance. However, a fact-check by Dubawa has confirmed that the story is entirely false and originates from a long-running meme.
The viral image, which features a young Black male alongside five women, is captioned: “Chicago teen sleeps with all five of his bullies’ moms to assert dominance.” The post, shared by Ghanaian musician @CAPTAINPLANETGH on Twitter, has been reposted over 100 times and garnered more than 600 likes, sparking widespread reactions.
Verification
To determine the authenticity of the image and accompanying claim, Dubawa employed the TinEye reverse image search tool. Results showed that the photo is not new and has appeared in various meme communities online, including Reddit and 9GAG. Several iterations of the meme exist, each with different individuals and the same or similar captions, revealing a pattern of digital fabrication.
Further investigation revealed that the individuals in the viral image are not related and do not support the narrative suggested by the caption. In fact, two of the women in the photo have identifiable backgrounds that have no connection to the alleged Chicago incident.
The first woman on the right is Amber Legge, who was arrested in Ohio, USA, for charges including aggravated menacing and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The second woman, Meagan Simmons from Florida, became unintentionally famous after her 2010 mugshot went viral online. Simmons was arrested for DUI, and her mugshot was widely shared, later becoming a meme due to her photogenic appearance.
Conclusion
Dubawa concludes that the viral claim is false. The image has been manipulated and recycled across meme platforms for humorous or misleading purposes. There is no evidence to support the claim that a Chicago teen engaged in the alleged acts, and the individuals in the image are unrelated to one another and to the narrative being pushed.
