Amie Scott: A Satirical Content Creator on TikTok
Scott confirmed to Misbar that the video she posted on her TikTok account was a joke and not real. The British content creator regularly posts comedic videos on her account, named 'Plasticamie,' which has over 700,000 followers.
In the video, Amie humorously explains that she decided to enjoy her summer vacation in Tunisia instead of attending her husband's funeral because 'he chose to die during her vacation week.' She also jokingly mentioned that she would make sure to attend the reading of the will because she was 'interested in getting the money,' and ended the video by sending a loving farewell to her late husband.
Amie also shared another comedic video during her vacation in Tunisia, in which she jokingly claimed to be five days pregnant, saying her baby was kicking her pelvis and that she could hear it crying.
