Scorned lover exposes cheating ex-partner for the rest of Australia to see – but not everyone approves of the act
- Replies 12
Going through a rough breakup is nowhere near easy – especially if the person, who you thought was the love of your life, cheated on you.
Whether it’s keying their car or tossing all of their belongings into the middle of the street, some people aren’t shy about retaliating after finding out about their ex-partner’s betrayal. But at what point do we deem an act of revenge too far?
The controversial affair of a man named ‘Steve’ was printed for everyone to see, with readers of Mackay and Whitsunday Life in Queensland getting an unexpected twist to their Friday edition of the paper.
The fiery message was published in a local newspaper, successfully capturing the nation’s attention. But things escalated further after a pub came forward to apologise to the heartbroken woman.

A full-page advertisement, costing between $1500 and $2000, was printed on page four from a scorned lover named ‘Jenny’.
‘Dear Steve, I hope you’re happy with her,’ the message read.
‘Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are. From Jenny.’
‘P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card.’
The note has since made a massive impact online, so much so that an Adelaide pub placed a hilarious response to Jenny on its roadside sign.
‘Dear Jenny, I’m sorry,’ the pub’s sign read.
‘From all the Steves.’

Mackay and Whitsunday Life have been flooded with ‘dozens’ of messages since Jenny’s message was published. However, a newspaper representative revealed that the last bit of Jenny’s revenge seems to have been unsuccessful.
‘We do not know who Steve is, but apparently, he has been very, very bad,’ a newspaper representative said.
‘We won’t be revealing any details about Jenny. We have not charged the credit card in question,’ they continued.
The newspaper’s Sales Manager Mike McCann told the Today Show on Saturday that it postponed charging the credit card as it could technically have been credit card fraud. But he urged Steve to come forward and ‘cover’ the bill.
Jenny’s bold decision was met with countless support from newfound fans online.
‘Jenny sounds like someone I want to be friends with.’ one person wrote.
‘Not all heroines wear capes. Jenny is my new favourite person!’ chimed another.
‘I couldn’t love this more even if I tried, LOL… Good on you, Jenny.’ a third praised.
Steve, on the other hand, was dragged through the mud.
‘Never trust a Steve.’ one declared, while another said that they ‘would have charged the card.’
But not everyone was convinced that the act was genuine. A few users claimed that Jenny and Steve’s story was disguised as a clever marketing tactic.
‘This has PR stunt written all over it!’ one user pointed out.
‘That’s a good way to get more likes and readers to your page.’ said another.
What are your thoughts on Jenny’s savage statement? Did Steve deserve it or is the entire fiasco made up? Let us know in the comments!
