Relationships can be tricky, especially when someone in them hides a few things. In some cases, breakups end up being quick and mostly harmless for everyone. But in some other cases, things aren’t that peaceful. One example of this happened in Miami-Dade, Florida, where one waitress started dating a man, only to discover that this person was already dating another woman. However, instead of ending everything, she tried to extort him, threatened him with sending pictures, and ended up being arrested after doing all of this.
According to the report by Local 10 News, the culprit, who goes by the name of Nathalie Rodriguez Gonzalez, was arrested on Friday last week and charged with threats and extortion. The reason was that Gonzalez started dating a man she met at a restaurant where she worked as a waitress. However, she soon realized this man had been dating someone else at the same time.
After Gonzalez learned about this, she tried to extort the man, asking for $20,000. She then threatened the man with exposing sensitive pictures of him to the other woman, and even demanded an extra $5,000.
Since the man didn’t pay, Gonzales ended up sending the pictures, which led to her arrest on Friday, and she’s now being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $7,500 bond.
Many Floridians saw the news and shared their thoughts on the matter, which were a bit mixed, as some thought the woman’s reaction was right, while others believed she was in the wrong for asking for too much money.

As soon as Floridians saw the news, they started talking about who was in the wrong, who was right, and what they would’ve done differently, which is something odd to hear in an extortion case.
“She got greedy. If she’d asked for less, she’d have gotten away with it.“
“She doesn’t understand what extortion is. She saw it on TV once and didn’t register that the person on TV was probably married with kids or something, and she’s just a girlfriend.“
Others couldn’t help but add a few remarks about the culprit, which are a bit unnecessary given the circumstances.
“I can fix her.”
In any case, it seems this woman flew too close to the sun, and while an affair is always heartbreaking and frustrating, this is not the way to handle it.
