Love is complicated and messy, especially during and after a breakup. Ex-couples would air out each other’s dirty laundry to gain sympathy from the public and influence them to take sides in the ordeal. Some issues that could have been solved behind closed doors became a public matter causing frustration to all parties.
Usually, relationship ordeals that turn into public affairs are often female victims with male perpetrators. But on the other hand, male victims with female perpetrators don’t happen as often – as least not publicly. A local Chinese man was recently blackmailed by his ex-girlfriend for RM80,000 where she threatened to release his nude photos.
The man had posted on his Facebook detailing the process of his blackmail experience yesterday (Sunday, 29th May). He shared that the culprit is an international student from China, whom he would often have drinks together. He found out that she had taken nude photos and videos of him when he was drunk. “I’ve forgotten that her phone could recover deleted files automatically. After we had broken up for a while, she started to threaten and blackmail me.”
Worried about the nudes and videos being leaked to the public, he paid the initial RM80,000 sum and she promised not to bother him again. However, on Saturday night (28th May) he received an anonymous text on WhatsApp demanding RM100,000 within an hour.
He also knew that the perpetrator had help from local friends to create a fake bank account and number to demand that sum from him. He decided not to pay the demanded RM100k and lodged a police report instead, to prevent any more blackmailing from them.
He also shared a post giving advice to the public into taking his situation as a cautionary tale, hoping that people out there wouldn’t have to experience such an embarrassing episode. He had garnered supporters from netizens with encouragement and positive comments, while some requested him to dox the perpetrator. There were also some insensitive comments asking about his dick size.
Take this as a lesson and be careful with who you choose to pursue your relationships. Don’t blindly trust or give your heart out to someone you don’t really know well. Always be careful with who you meet on and offline to prevent greater loss emotionally and/or financially.
