A month later, Megan Fox joked that she “ became a victim of Temu ” when an innocent purchase of stick-on tattoos inspired her to impulsively get a real-life tattoo arm sleeve. While appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March 2024, Fox revealed the intricate ink masterpiece took four six-hour sessions, which she completed in a week.
It’s been five months since Temu took over the Super Bowl and the e-commerce platform is still a trending topic of discussion on social media. Several customers are now sharing their own “Temu victim” stories, many of which include adult children roasting their older relatives for defacing parts of their home in cringey, cheap merchandise from Temu.
One category Temu customers can’t seem to get enough of is themed bathroom decor. On TikTok, users are blasting their family members for redecorating bathrooms with wildlife-themed decor and toilet seat covers featuring dolphins swimming in diamond-encrusted waters.

Meanwhile, others are showing off random Temu products, like automatic hand dryers, that they’ve installed in their homes.
“Tell me your mother is addicted to Temu without telling me your mother is addicted to Temu,” teased one TikToker before panning the camera to show her mom’s brand-new hand dryer. “Yeah, she got a problem. It’s a problem.”
“My mom and grandma are Temu victims like it’s ridiculous,” began another TikToker . “They are addicted to shopping, literally dresses, shoes, headbands, and scarves—you name it. Almost every other day here come my grandma, ‘You see what Temu got?!’”
