"Should I have lied and said I couldn’t tell," a woman asked in a Reddit post

In a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------?" a woman described an uncomfortable situation that started because of a bachelorette trip.
"I have a friend from college, let’s call her Kelly," the Redditor wrote. "We’ve been out of school for a few years now and live in different states, but talk regularly and have been able to take a few trips to see each other over the years. Thanks to FaceTime, we talk face-to-face quite a bit (important)."
“Kelly is gorgeous, very conventionally attractive, but she has always been insecure about having thin lips. She talked here and there about trying filler, and I knew at some point she would as it became so common and socially acceptable,” the Redditor added, going on to note that while filler isn't for her, she doesn't judge others — and "never" discouraged her friend from getting it.

Recently, the Redditor noticed there was something different about Kelly, who is getting married later this year.
“A few months ago while we were FaceTiming I couldn’t stop looking at how oddly her mouth was moving when she talked, and realized she had finally gotten filler," the Redditor wrote. "I didn’t say anything and just tried to avoid staring at her mouth when she talked.”

However, during the bachelorette trip, the Redditor said that many people didn't know each other, so they played “some ice breaker-y games.”
“Someone suggested never have I ever, so we were playing that and having cocktails,” the Redditor continued. “Towards the end of the game I was running out of ideas, so I said ‘never have I ever gotten injectables.' "
At the time, "no one seemed upset or like it even mattered," but after the trip, things came to a head.
“Kelly and I were FTing and she was mad that I said that during the game. She said ‘I got filler and you couldn’t even tell, what’s your problem?’ ” the Redditor wrote.

The question caught the Redditor “super off-guard,” so she replied, “' I actually could tell you got filler, I just didn’t say anything about it.' "
That didn't go over so well with the bride-to-be.
“Now she’s all mad and calling me judgmental, when I genuinely was so careful to stay so neutral. So AITA? Should I have lied and said I couldn’t tell she had filler, and apologized for an opinion I don’t actually have?” the Redditor added.
Overall, the consensus was that the Redditor wasn't trying to be cruel, although commenters could understand why her friend reacted the way she did.
"I don’t think that you’re TA. I don’t think you said anything rude to her," one commenter wrote. "I think she just feels self conscious about having it done."
Another replied that while it "probably would have been better to just avoid the topic," the Redditor was "just stating the facts."
Yet another commenter said that this is just another example of how nothing good ever comes out of playing "Never Have I Ever," writing, "the entire point" of the game is "to playfully embarrass your friends."
