It's been over a week since influencer @jackielabonita's video captivated the internet and amassed more than 48 million views.

The TikToker added that she forgave them and "hopes this experience makes us more aware of each other's feelings and more empathetic towards one another."
Earlier in the video, @jackielabonita strongly opposed the online harassment the two women faced after the video became popular on social media. Insider's Andrew Lloyd reported that some internet users attempted to locate and dox the pair, which refers to publishing a person's private information.
"It's become clear that bullying doesn't just stop in childhood or teenage years, but it can follow you into adulthood – and that's a little concerning. It usually gets swept under the rug," she said. "Even though my feelings were hurt that night, there was no need for more hurt."
She added that the two women's families "do not deserve hurt."
"I do not condone the threats. I don't condone the bullying. I don't condone the harassment to them or anyone else."
Influencer @jackielabonita did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
