Accused of Stealing Bread Because of a Lookalike

I just watched a video from Indonesia titled “Emosi Food Vlogger Dituduh Curi Lapis Legit Gegara Mukanya Mirip, Kesal Banyak Komentar Maling” (Food Vlogger Accused of Stealing Layer Cake Because of Her Similar Face, Upset About Many Thief Comments) by Tribun Sumsel.

The point is: a lady is angry because many people accused her of being a thief not because there’s proof, but simply because she looks like the person suspected of stealing in the video.


Imagine you’re a food vlogger your world revolves around good eats, trying out new restaurants, sharing recipes, and snapping drool-worthy food pics. Life is good, right? But then, out of nowhere, you're being called a thief. Not because anyone caught you in the act. Not because there’s any real \evidence. But because someone who kind of looks like you was seen in a blurry CCTV clip… stealing bread.

Yep, that actually happened. And honestly?
That’s not just frustrating it’s totally unfair.



Mistaken Identity: A Real Problem
We’ve all heard stories about people getting mistaken for someone else. It happens. People can share similar features, wear the same hairstyle, or dress alike. That doesn’t mean they’re guilty of a crime. But in this case, a female food vlogger got caught in a whirlwind of accusations just because her face resembled someone caught on grainy security footage.

This kind of mistaken identity is more than just awkward it can be dangerous. Especially in today’s online world where judgment happens fast and facts come way later.

As soon as the clip started making the rounds, the internet did what it always does people went wild. Commenters flooded the vlogger’s pages, calling her names, accusing her of being a thief, and basically trashing her character. No trial. No context. \Just instant judgment based on shaky footage and a hunch. Let’s be real here: social media isn’t the place to decide who’s guilty or innocent. Yet people treat it like it’s the ultimate courtroom. That rush to judge? It’s reckless. And it can ruin someone’s life.

Now think about what that must feel like. You’re minding your business, maybe editing a cute food video, when you open your phone and find a storm of hate comments. You’re being called dishonest and shady all for something you didn’t do.

That kind of public attack can seriously mess with someone’s mental health. Anxiety. Shame. Fear. It’s enough to make anyone want to disappear from the internet completely. And for what? A case of mistaken identity?

We’ve Gotta Do Better
Before we slam someone with accusations or hit “send” on that angry comment, let’s take a step back and ask ourselves: Do I actually know what happened? Could this be a misunderstanding? What if this person isn’t the one in the video?

Because if we’re wrong and there’s a good chance we might be we could be contributing to the destruction of someone’s peace, reputation, and career. All because we acted too fast. The food vlogger didn’t steal bread. She just happens to resemble someone who might have. That’s not a crime that’s just an unlucky coincidence.

So instead of jumping on the hate train, how about offering some support? Or, at the very least, giving her the benefit of the doubt until there’s actual proof?

Let’s choose kindness over chaos.
The internet has enough trolls already.
