After marrying 27-year-old Cabot Asplundh from the Asplundh family—owners of the Asplundh Tree Expert Co.—the recently married wife approached the fellow Instagram user and asked if she could buy her @katherineasplundh handle.
The other Katherine shared screenshots of her chat with the bride on Reddit with the title “Katherine Drisc Asplundh harassing me?”

“Hi I was wondering if I could purchase your username from you. Just got married and this is my new name!” read the message from the tree service heir’s spouse.
The other Katherine responded by first congratulating the billionaire bride and then voicing her concerns about getting banned if she sold her username.
"Is there anyway I can get you to change your username one more time?" asked the billionaire's wife

After a brief exchange, the Asplundh spouse turned aggressive with her approach and began accusing the other woman of using a fake name.
“I actually don’t believe that your name is Katherine Asplundh who would make their finsta their actual name?” she wrote. “I reported you to Instagram and they’re actually able to tell me your real name I really hope I don’t know you because that’s gonna be really embarrassing for you.”

When the conversation heated up more, the other Katherine also reported the newlywed and said she would have given the account for free if she was nice.
People online came in support of the other Katherine and created multiple fake accounts with handles similar to the one the billionaire Bridezilla asked for.
Although the backlash prompted her to take a step back from social media, the new Mrs. Asplundh now appears to be back on social media and was welcomed back by fans.
