'AITA for refusing to pay $100 to photoshop myself out of my ex’s best friend’s wedding pictures?'

The internet is rallying behind a man who refused to pay his ex-girlfriend’s best friend $100 to have himself edited out of her wedding pictures.

The scenario was shared by the original poster (OP) on Reddit’s popular 'Am I The A*****e (AITA)' forum, where the post quickly went viral, racking up hundreds of upvotes and comments.

Ex’s best friend wants $100 to edit him out of wedding photos

In his Reddit post titled "AITA for not paying my ex’s best friend $100 to Photoshop me out of her wedding pictures?" OP explains that he recently went through a mutual and amicable breakup with his ex-girlfriend after dating for a year and a half.

OP explains, "Had a breakup a couple weeks back. Wasn’t messy or anything, and both my ex and myself agree it was for the best. She’s a great girl just wasn’t for me long term. Dated for a year and a half, and about a year in we went to Iceland for a destination wedding. I paid probably $3k for both of us to attend, which I was happy to do. At the outset I was surprised I was invited but this was my ex’s best friend from high school (whom I had never met). We had a very nice time overall, but I even protested from being in the pictures at the time given it was mostly family, but they insisted."

During their relationship, OP attended a destination wedding in Iceland for his ex’s best friend, a woman he had never met before the trip. Though OP found it odd that he was invited, he happily paid $3,000 for both of them to attend.

"Now after the breakup I get a Venmo request out of nowhere for ‘wedding photoshop fees’ from the friend. Am I missing something here? Is this insane or do I need to pay her for ruining her photos since I won’t be in there lives? Feels more like a funny ‘screw you’ type thing. The friend is a lovely girl or so I thought."

Internet sides with man after ex’s friend demands $100 to Photoshop him out of wedding photos

Redditors overwhelmingly ruled NTA and blasted the bride for her audacity. Many were in disbelief that she would charge someone to be erased from photos they never wanted to be in.

One fan wrote, "Lol NTA, Tell her you'll pay her $100 when she pays you $3000 for attending her wedding."

Another commenter wrote, "NTA. The photos are hers. She's the one who wants to change them or whatever."

Another quipped, "LOL hell naw... You didn't ask to be in them. She wants you out she can pay herself."

"NTA. If having you in their pictures is a problem then that's their problem to solve not yours. Ignore the Venmo request," a user said.

Another noted, "NTA. The photos captured the moment, and the moment included you being there. If she didn't want you in the photos, she should have insisted or just not invited you."
