In a new MTV show, two hosts (Rachel Lindsay and Travis Mills) will help individuals track down people who’ve ghosted them.
“Ghosting” is the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.
The trailer shows participants crying, and anxiously sitting down in front of their “ghost”.
Despite the programme echoing the very popular MTV show “Catfish” – in which the hosts bring together people who have formed online relationships but have never actually met – this trailer has sparked some controversy.
U and the person who ghosted u before have to be down. I remember applying on backstage and they wanted my ghoster’s email so they could ask permission. But obviously I ain’t have it 😂 y’all have to remember reality tv is 90% scripted so relax. No one was stalked, everybody paid
Could you imagine someone leaving behind a toxic relationship/friendship, healing, and then an MTV camera crew shows up in your face with that person. That would be super traumatizing for a lot of people
