Look, people send nude texts to their romantic interests: it's like a fact of the social media age. When it goes wrong, it's mortifying -- though often quite entertaining -- and that goes double when the drama is publicly documented on Twitter.
Meet Nyjah. She's been tweeting since 2009. She posts lots of selfies on Instagram, and occasionally shares "cute lil nudie" pics with her man via text.
Yesterday, she apparently sent a nude photo of herself to her father by accident.
What was not accidental was the documentation of the fallout on social media. Nyjah turned to Twitter for support, instantly converting a private matter into something for everyone to have a good, long gawk at.
OMG HOW DO YOU CANCEL A TEXT MESSAGE !!

Acceptance.
Her daddy continued to call her and eventually showed up at her house. Nyjah's normally active Twitter went ominously silent after tweeting a link to this Instagram video of dear ol' dad walking up the driveway.
Nyjah resumed tweeting Wednesday morning. She says she may have gotten dumped by her man, and indicated that she took several videos of her dad ("he's mad, mad, mad") from their discussion last night. Naturally, Twitter users are requesting that she post those, too.
Gawker notes that Nyjah "picked up a few thousand new Twitter and Instagram followers" for her troubles. The website noted that the incident could have easily been staged.
Update: July 10, 8:50 a.m. -- The Smoking Gun, also sniffing for a hoax, suggested that "someone needs to dust [the story] for Jimmy Kimmel’s fingerprints."
The website did some digging around Nyjah's background, came up with her full name and reported that she had recently graduated from college, and was not a current college student as indicated by her dad's fuming texts:
[Nyjah] Cousar graduated in May from Clemson with a bachelor's degree in economics. She was a member of the South Carolina school’s track team, where she was a standout sprinter and hurdler. Cousar previously attended Ohio State University, where she also ran track.
No matter how educated you are, mistakes happen. But the fact that she shared the ordeal on Twitter seems a little careless for a college-educated star athlete.
