TikTok has seen it all over the years, dance trends, makeup tutorials, wild confessions, and more. However, every now and then, someone drops a story so unhinged it makes the entire app collectively clutch their pearls. Enter Addison Meek, a Texas woman whose recent storytime left millions of users utterly speechless and maybe a little queasy.
Addison didn’t just share a bizarre high school memory or a relationship fail. The Texas woman turned New York transplant recounted the time she had surgery to remove a rib due to a blood condition… and then asked for it back. Yes, her actual rib. And the real kicker? She cooked and ate part of it. If you’re thinking, “Surely that’s a joke,” brace yourself, because it gets weirder.
In her now-viral TikTok, which has racked up over 1.8 million views, Addison casually explains the entire process as if it’s a normal weekend activity. “It was just a little bit of human flesh,” she says in the video, defending her choice to sample her own rib meat. The internet, as you can imagine, did not take this lightly.
Texas Woman Reveals She Ate Her Own Rib Meat After Surgery
One stunned viewer dubbed the TikToker a “cannibal,” and honestly, that’s not a stretch. In a follow-up video, Addison even shows the rib pre-boil still covered in muscle and tissue. To preserve the bone, she explains, all that extra meat had to be removed… and she figured, why not taste it first?
As if that weren’t jaw-dropping enough, Addison claims her mom was there for the entire event and apparently thought it was “silly.” We’re not sure if that’s an epic display of mother-daughter bonding or just a sign that this family operates on a different wavelength entirely. Either way, TikTok viewers were quick to brand them “weird” and “unhinged,” though Addison herself seems unfazed by the backlash.
“It didn’t taste good,” she admits, which thankfully might discourage others from trying a similar DIY meal.
Still, the concept of someone willingly eating their own body part has sparked heated debates in comment sections across social media. Is this a grotesque flex for clout? A personal rite of passage? Or just a curiosity?
“Girl… Its not too late to delete this,” one person commented. To which, Addison replied, “Ur jealous I have tasted the forbidden snack.”
In the age of oversharing, Addison’s story raises some big questions about boundaries, both ethical and medical. Should hospitals really be handing over human remains to teenage patients? Is there a rulebook for what you can and can’t do with your own body parts once they’re outside your body? These are the kinds of things we didn’t expect to be discussing on a random scroll.
Love it or hate it, the Texas native is clearly embracing the viral spotlight. Whether she’s proud of her decision or just leaning into the weirdness for views, one thing’s for sure, TikTok will never be the same.
