About

Woman Screaming After Saying 'Let It Out' refers to a viral video of a visibly upset, white woman crying and talking to the camera, telling the viewer to, "Let it out," and then proceeding to scream twice at the camera. After the original video was uploaded to TikTok in mid-2022, it was exploited by meme creators who replaced her scream with other sound effects. Additionally, many believed that the woman was screaming about women's abortion rights regarding the 2022 Supreme Court Overturning of Roe v. Wade, but this remains unconfirmed.
