“So What If You’re Broke?” — Pretty Vee Explodes After B. Simone’s Tearful Confession: The Friendship Fallout No One Saw Coming

When B. Simone took to her podcast mic last week, what was meant to be a quiet, honest confession turned into a wildfire that swept across social media within hours.

In a voice trembling with emotion, she admitted, “I’m not okay. I’m broke. I can’t even afford rent. Spiritually, I feel empty. I feel like I’ve failed.” It was a moment of raw vulnerability — one that many applauded for its honesty in a culture obsessed with curated perfection. But not everyone saw it that way.

Without warning, Pretty Vee — B. Simone’s longtime friend, co-creator, and on-screen “sister” — went live on Instagram with a message that shook their fanbase. Gone was the bubbly, goofy energy fans were used to. In its place was cold disappointment.

“You’re broke? Cool,” she said, eyes locked on the lens. “But what I don’t get is why the whole internet got the story before I did. You sat next to me for years, cried on my shoulder, called me ‘family’ — and now I find out with everyone else that you’re drowning?”

The silence that followed her statement said more than her words.

For years, the duo was known as inseparable — rising to fame through sketch comedy, YouTube shows, and viral podcast clips. But according to insiders close to both, the rift didn’t begin last week. It’s been brewing beneath the surface for months, if not years.

Sources allege Pretty Vee felt increasingly sidelined in joint ventures. While B. Simone’s name often headlined, Vee’s contributions were, some say, minimized — especially in projects like “The Know For Sure Podcast,” where B’s voice dominated most conversations.

In a 2023 interview, Vee hinted at the imbalance. “I wasn’t her sidekick,” she said. “I was part of the foundation. But there was no paper, no contract, no credit. Just vibes. And vibes don’t pay bills.”

Which may explain why B. Simone’s public declaration hit so hard. For Vee, it wasn’t just about money. It was about being left out of a truth that she believes she helped shape — or shield.

Reactions online have been swift, fiery, and divided. Some fans argue that Pretty Vee’s outburst was a betrayal, that B. Simone had every right to process her pain in her own way. Others defend Vee fiercely, insisting that when you call someone a “sister,” you owe them more than a viral clip.

One user posted: “Pretty Vee is hurt, not hateful. She wanted a phone call. Not a podcast reveal.”

Another clapped back: “If B. Simone needed clout more than comfort, she chose views over friendship.”

Neither party has spoken directly to each other since the incident. Multiple sources confirm that joint projects have been paused indefinitely, and both women have reportedly been approached by major media outlets and streaming platforms for exclusive tell-all interviews. There’s even quiet talk of a potential Red Table Talk appearance — though both sides have remained silent on that.

This isn’t just a celebrity spat. It’s a modern parable about the thin line between content and connection, between going public and being personal.

In an era where influencers document breakdowns before dialing friends, the fallout between B. Simone and Pretty Vee forces a bigger question: what happens to real friendship when it’s filtered through the lens of an audience?

Once celebrated for their authentic bond, the two now find themselves at odds in the most public of arenas. Whether reconciliation is possible remains to be seen. But one thing is certain — the internet is watching, and this isn’t over.

Not by a long shot.
