Nathalie Rodriguez Gonzalez, a 19-year-old Miami waitress, has been arrested after allegedly trying to get $20K from a businessman she had been dating. The twist? She reportedly discovered that the man already had a girlfriend.
Yes, the classic “Wait, I’m the other woman?” moment.
According to the allegations, Rodriguez Gonzalez had been seeing the businessman while believing she was in a relationship with him. Then she allegedly discovered that he had a girlfriend the entire time.
That discovery probably did not come with flowers and a heartfelt apology.
Instead, authorities accuse Rodriguez Gonzalez of threatening the man and demanding $20K. She was arrested Friday on charges including threats and extortion.
Nothing says “I am handling this maturely” quite like allegedly sending the relationship straight into criminal court.
The itty-bitty blackmailer — listed in jail records at 5-feet-1 — met the well-off victim while waiting on his table at the restaurant where she worked, according to cops.
The teen demanded $20,000 from him and warned that, if he did not send the money, she would add an extra $5,000 and send intimate pics to his girlfriend and business partner, according
When the man refused to cough up the money, Rodriguez Gonzalez allegedly carried out her threat and sent one of the snaps to his business partner.
“Should I post this on my IG and tag everyone??” Rodriguez Gonzalez told the business partner, according to cops.
She also asked for the phone number of the victim’s girlfriend.
She then allegedly sent the pic to the victim’s girlfriend and told her, “This will genuinely get posted if he doesn’t wire me money BTW.”
Rodriguez Gonzalez now has to deal with an arrest and criminal charges over what began as a romantic relationship. That is quite the plot twist for someone who probably expected dinner dates, flirting and maybe a few cute messages.
Rodriguez Gonzalez ended up posting a censored version of the photo and other pics on her TikTok, according to WPLG’s report.
She also allegedly carried on sending threatening messages, including, “The deportation does not have to happen, but I want my money,” “If he doesn’t wire me the money, his d–k. will get posted followed by your face, his face,” and “Give me my money or I escalate this worse.”
“Remember I was tryna scam him, I’m finally getting to it,” Rodriguez Gonzalez wrote in another message thread, according to WPLG.
The victim showed up at the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Kendall District station on Aug. 24 and reportedly identified a photo of Rodriguez Gonzalez.
She was taken into custody at her home Friday, taken to the station for questioning and reportedly gave a “full confession”.
The businessman, meanwhile, appears to have had his own relationship problems. Dating someone while allegedly keeping another girlfriend in the dark is hardly a recipe for peaceful living.
There is also a lesson here for everyone involved.
If you discover your romantic partner has been playing both sides, revenge may feel satisfying for about five minutes. But turning the drama into an alleged $20K extortion scheme can make things dramatically worse.
