  1. Dude. Just get another girlfriend or an escort. Prostitutes heal all wounds. Believe me.

  2. Ok but she said he put it there…. Did he?? Even with a warrant .. that doesn’t mean he did it right? Her words against his right… this is weird … she said she believes that he put it there 🤔

  3. 99.9 % singers are not the next Luis Miguel, Elvis Presley, frank Sinatra & Michael Jackson they are all in different levels as singers. Luis Miguel is the greatest singer in all of Latin America history 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🎤🎤🇲🇽🎤 im a proud fan of the legendary LM

  4. So if they found he had recordings of her, he should be good for 10 years on each recording to be served consecutively, right? I wonder if he started out as one of those creeps that try to photo up a girl’s skirt and then raised his game to record everything he should never see. I don’t think 10 years would be long enough for the shock and damage he has done, allegedly, to his xgf.

  5. The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn’t depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies(BTC, ETH..).

    1. Mrs Tammie Renee Sheuermann is the right person to start trading cryptocurrency with she knows her way around the crypto world… She has been helping me increase my investment every day for over months

    2. Actually I trade Cryptocurrency on a platform, with her assistance from their top crypto experts. Mrs Tammie Renee Sheuermann is my professional assistant, I have been trading with her for 8 months now..I’ve really made a lot fr her strategies in trading of cryptocurrencies

    3. I countlessly share my experience with co-workers at work, on how I made $23,000 from $2,000 in 7 days of trading

    4. The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mrs Tammie Renee. I got recommended to her and since then my financial life has been a success..

  6. Despite all economic downturn , one still need to Set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success is not obtained overnight. You just have to stop procrastinating and try what you have always wanted, to improve your life and wellbeing, I believe Investing will take us closer to that dream 🙏

    1. My first Investment with Mr David gave me the assurance that has made me invest without the fear of losing , i got four of my friends involved with him already

    2. I’m from UK 🇬🇧 i and my colleagues gave him a try and it has been good returns of our Investment, thanks Expert David

    3. Seeing Alot of success stories, he’s must be honest and trustworthy for people to talk this good about him.

  7. The sad thing is, she just ended his career if it’s true of not. Guys, stay away from all women. They will all take you down at some point. You are better off alone.
