Truth behind the video of a guy letting his girlfriend fall off a cliff

The viral video of a man not helping his girlfriend as she slipped off the edge of a rock into the ocean had sparked considerable outrage among the online community recently. But if one goes by recent revelations, it seems that all that anger was totally uncalled for.

For those who have come late to the party, here’s a little bit of background:
The short video clip in question shows the woman trying to grab her boyfriend’s leg in desperation after she realises too late that cliff-jumping is not her cup of tea. However, the guy quickly moves away and watches his terrified lover drop into the ocean.

The video, which was originally posted on Reddit last week, had stirred up a debate on the internet. Some Reddit users called out the woman for 'chickening out' before the jump. One commenter wrote: 'Soooo dangerous. You gotta commit to the jump.'

And another added: 'You've got to stupid to jump, and a special kind of stupid to change your mind half way [sic].'
On the other hand, many Redditors criticised the boyfriend for not helping his lady love. One person commented: “He took the leg away, so he wouldn't get pulled with her and so gave her the worst fall possible.”

Now recent reports have revealed that this video isn’t what most of us thought it was. It is actually a clip from the music video ‘Summer’ by the Latin Grammy award nominated singer Jay Alvarezz that was released in the year 2015. The video featured the couple going through a series of jumps; and this clip that showed just one of them was shared separately and eventually grabbed the attention of the internet.
