Kenyan content creator Morin Actress has opened up about her fallout with former friends Carol Sonnie and Mylee Staicey.
In a candid revelation, Morin shared a YouTube video of the trio attempting to solve a disagreement that began when the two allegedly commented on how she dressed in their videos.
“Here we go. How is it a prank and we’re not together anymore? We do not shoot content together because of that video,” before adding, “I posted it so that people do not assume that there were any extra issues. I wanted people to know the reason why we parted ways.”
Though presented as banter, the remarks struck a nerve and eventually contributed to the end of their friendship.
While jokes are often part of the playful glue that bonds friends, the wrong kind of humor—especially when it targets personal identity, appearance, or values—can quickly erode trust.
What one person sees as lighthearted can be deeply hurtful to another, and when boundaries aren’t respected, the friendship begins to fracture.
The Hidden Weight of “Just Joking”
Humor often provides relief in friendships, but dismissing hurtful comments as “just jokes” can minimize the feelings of the person targeted.
Over time, these jokes can chip away at self-esteem, create defensiveness, and turn once-safe spaces into sources of discomfort.
In Morin’s case, remarks about her dressing sense touched a personal chord, raising questions about respect and support within the group.
Following Morin’s revelation, fans quickly weighed in online. A recurring sentiment was that trios in friendships are rarely sustainable.
Many argued that when three people try to be best friends, one often ends up feeling excluded or less valued.
“Three is always tricky—there’s usually one person left out in decision-making,” one fan commented. “Friendship triangles are drama-prone. It’s better when friendships flow naturally in pairs.”
The reactions highlight how group dynamics can add pressure to maintaining balance, with even small misunderstandings magnified in a trio.
Other Things That Can End Friendships
Beyond careless jokes, there are several dynamics that commonly lead to fallouts in friendships.
A lack of respect, where friends consistently disregard boundaries or personal choices, can breed resentment.
Competition and comparison can also create silent rivalries, as can the betrayal of trust from gossiping or exposing secrets.
Additionally, one-sided friendships where one person always gives more will often collapse under the imbalance. Sometimes, friends simply grow in different directions as their life goals, interests, or values evolve.
According to Psychologist Kerry Wandera, friendships should provide “affirmation, joy, and a safe space to grow.”
Avoiding dismissive humor, communicating openly when boundaries are crossed, and celebrating differences are all key to keeping bonds healthy.
