The Brian Presley and Melissa Stetten Twitter scandal is a classic piece of internet history from 2012, representing one of the first major 'live-tweeted' celebrity takedowns. While on a flight, model Melissa Stetten began tweeting the absurd and flirtatious comments made by actor Brian Presley, who sat next to her and was apparently unaware she was broadcasting their conversation to thousands. The interaction became a viral sensation as Presley, a married man, discussed 'divine intervention' and personal stories while Stetten provided a snarky, real-time commentary. The event is often cited as a cautionary tale about public behavior in the digital age and is used in meme culture to represent being caught in an embarrassing lie or the awkwardness of unwanted advances.
