Social media users are stunned after a TikTok star recounted a series of unfortunate events that included a broken jaw, a brain tumor, and a car crash.
Australian actress Alli McLaren - who goes by the handle @notallialicee - posted a video about the nightmarish event she experienced on the social media platform.
"I’m that friend that lives that ‘can’t catch a break dramatic lifestyle," the 30-year-old content creator sarcastically said in her viral TikTok post.
Alli's suffering first started when she was "randomly walking" in downtown Los Angeles one day and then a homeless person came and punched her in the face.
Watch Alli's TikTok below:"I had to get jaw surgery to fix it and my immune system was super weak, I ended up getting infection and pneumonia," she continued.
But during her battle with pneumonia, she fell and banged her head, which triggered a traumatic brain injury so she had to get brain surgery to "get the tumor out".
However, the misery didn't stop there as the aspiring actress had "start radiation" shortly after her brain surgery because the doctors were unable to get all the noncancerous tumors out.
Allie then revealed that when she was on her way to her hospital treatment for her tumor, she "got ran over by a car" that failed to brake at a stop sign. According to the New York Post, the incident left her with two broken feet.
Upon seeing her video - which has amassed 1.6 million views and 267.7K likes on the social media platform - many people shared their reactions to her painful predicaments.
One user wrote: "To whoever has your voodoo doll, it’s enough."
Another person said: "So life basically froze your lemons and then threw them at ya."
A third chimed in and commented: "The way my jaw dropped slowly."
And, a fourth person praised: "The way I’d never get out of bed again. You are STRONG as hell."
Meanwhile, one bold person wrote: "Okay but the homeless guy kinda saved your life??" But Alli responded by sharing a video explaining why she doesn't feel thankful toward her attacker.
"I was punched, I got an x-ray and nothing was on it. Cool, I fell over and hit my head, and nothing was on it (the x-ray)," she said, explaining that when she started getting seizures that's what the tumor turned up in her scan.
"So maybe, he (the homeless person) helped me find it or maybe he helped cause it?" she questioned.
According to The Post, Alli has remained optimistic about the future and said: "I think I stay strong by knowing it can’t be like this forever and also knowing that one day I’m going to wake up and I won’t be in pain anymore."
"I do believe that everything happens for a reason," she added.
