TikTok star sues boyfriend after being dumped

Revenge is a dish perfect for virality.

TikTok star Yael Villarreal has publicly shamed his ex-boyfriend and announced a lawsuit against his former lover, who “abruptly” ended their relationship after 18 months together.

In a video posted on December 9, which has now been viewed more than 5 million times, the social media influencer from Monterrey, Mexico, explained exactly why he was going to court.

Villarreal claims his former partner used his credit card to buy a camera for his photographer business while they were still together and promised to pay him back.

“He claimed I gave him the camera as a gift, which is a lie,” he said. “If it was a gift, why did you promise me I would never be short of that money.”

As awkward as the breakup was, Villarreal just wanted his money back.

“I’m not looking for problems, I’m looking for solutions,” he admits. “Since there was no response from him, his mom or his dad, I decided to file the order.”

Once summoned, he uploaded photos online, revealing to friends that he was leaving the country, which was not a “surprise” for Villarreal.
