It's not uncommon for social media influencers to brag about things going on in their lives—it's pretty much expected at this point.

But one influencer put out a tearful apology after she got backlash for bragging a little too hard about buying a house at the age of 21.

Katylee Bailey is a TikTok influencer from Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. She recently made a video bragging about how she bought a house outright.

The video which has over four thousand comments received mixed responses with some congratulating her but others spoke about their own financial hardships and how difficult this time in history is for doing things like owning a home.

While Bailey's original video probably wasn't meant in the way many people took it, it likely wasn't a smart idea to brag about the amount of money she made during a time in history when many people are struggling to survive.

It seems from her apology video that Bailey may have learned her lesson for next time.

Jesse Watters Has Complete Meltdown After Republicans Lose The Midterms—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed sheer disbelief after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

A Trump advisor told CNN that the election results were "essentially too big to rig." President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.
