🚨 ‘Homewrecker’ TikTok influencer ordered to pay $1.75m for destroying manager’s marriage under ‘Jolene’ law.
The plaintiff, Akira Montague, has filed a rare "alienation of affection" lawsuit against social media star Brenay Kennard.
The claim, which is only allowed in six U.S. states (including North Carolina), alleges Kennard is responsible for the end of her marriage to Timothy Montague, who is now Kennard's husband.
The lawsuit alleges Kennard began an affair with Timothy while he was still married, "flaunted" it online, and posted pictures of Akira's children without her consent.
The trial has already produced several stunning moments:
Timothy Montague, the husband, testified that he "never even loved" his ex-wife Akira and that they were "just like roommates."
Timothy's own sister testified that her brother had been a "terrible husband."
Kennard, who is representing herself, admitted she lived with the couple in late 2023 but claimed she "never knew Akira was 'uncomfortable'" with her presence.
The prosecution presented a video of Kennard "twerking" on Timothy in the bathroom, which Kennard said happened when she was drunk.
To win, Akira must prove she and Timothy had a genuine marriage with affection and that Kennard's actions directly caused its destruction.
