*The viral TikToker dubbed “Home Depot Girl” claims she may have to move out of her home after social media users doxed her and harassed her on the job.
Ariana Josephine (@ariijosephine) nearly broke Black Twitter when she posted a selfie pic on the job and captioned it: “The one job I work at that I get reminded I’m too pretty to work at.”
After the photo (see above) “blew up,” Ariana told Distractify, “I was shocked because it was a joke.”
Her post even caught the attention of NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal, prompting him to hit up a local Home Depot and buy various items for random people (watch Twitter clips below).

Josephine shared a recent update in which she claims she’s being harassed by haters to the point that she had to quit her job.
In a video statement, she said, “God is really testing my life right now and just testing my faith and trying to keep my patience in him and just trust that there’s a bigger thing coming out of all this.”
Josephine added, “Since I blew up on the internet, I have had so much backlash, good and bad. It’s been a lot of good, but you also have that percentage of bad. Everybody on Twitter hates me. For what? I don’t know. I literally don’t know, just because I stood up for myself, and that’s fine.”

She went on to say that Insta-fame has been “kind of been crazy.”
“I literally had to kind of quit my job in this process because of how much I grew and how many people actually seen this and people were illegally doxing my address and also figuring out where I worked because I did have my school, my bio, also my location on Twitter and Home Depot. So if you put math together, people started figuring stuff out,” she explains in the clip.
“So now I’m going to have to probably move and just kind of relocate and start fresh. And I just feel like I just am grateful to God because this opportunity gives me a chance to start over. I also gained a platform, and that means a lot to me because I work really hard making my faith, lifestyle, beauty and fashion content,” she said.
So yes, some doors had to close, but I also know God is going to make a lot of doors open in my favor. So I’m just taking it with the winds, taking the punches, smiling through all this praying and just knowing that God has me. I know in due time when the answers and what is for me needs to be revealed, it’ll be revealed,” Josephine shared.
