My best friend won't talk to me anymore.
She is dating this guy from the UK and he is trying to keep their relationship private, like he is trying to appear single. I don't know I told her I think its fishy and she was super mad at me and accusing me of judging him and stuff. Now she won't talk to me. Before she left for the UK, she was texting me but I wanted to see her before she left and she never answered me but is still 'online' all the time and clearly ignores me.
I wonder if we are still friends or if I should just like cut ties with her.

Give her a little time to simmer down. If she's going over to meet up with this guy and he IS a good thing for her, chances are, he'll settle her ass down and she'll be so much in love with him she won't be able to WAIT to tell you everything about him and how she feels about him!
As you, being a girl, SHOULD know, by now, girls NEVER listen when given love advice!! It blinds them to reality! A friend of mine (MY best friend) moved about a 12-hour drive away from where she lived to be with this raging asshole!! She met him online when she was 15, he told her he was 20 but he was actually 35!! She moved here to be with him when she was 17!! She told me all about him and all the sick shit he does to her and, I'd finally talk her into dropping his skanky ass and,, the next thing I know, she's RIGHT back with him again!! After 3 tries to get her the hell away from him, she finally married him and had 2 kids with him! After about 5 years, she divorced him and then, when he got the kids during his days with them, he sexually abused them!! They are teens, now and going through a LOT of psychological problems because of him!! Partly because of the things he did to them when they were little and partly (I think) because of his genetics! As far as I know, he's still rotting in jail!
Anyway, if this Brit DOES turn out to be an asshole and she finds out that you were right about him, chances are, she'll realize what a good friend she had in you and will get back to you and apologize to you!
Obviously, she wasn't your "best friend" to begin with, but let's put that aside. Whenever a love interest gets between friends, it gets messy. Did you pose your thoughts as a question, for example: "Don't you think it's odd that he's keeping you a secret, or trying to appear single?" You have to let the friend arrive at the doubt on her own, instead of instantly getting defensive and scapegoating you as the bad person trying to come between her and her boyfriend.
Back to best friend - IF she were indeed a best friend, you would have been able to tell her what was on your mind without this kind of reaction from her. She would have said " I know you love me and want what's best for me, and to protect me, so tell my why you think this. What are you seeing or feeling that I'm missing?" She'd have been open to talk about it, but that didn't happen.
She probably just needs some time to cool off. If she doesn't come around, then maybe it's time to move on. It sucks losing friends, but unfortunately, sometimes it happens.
