The lady, who hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina, claimed in the video that her boyfriend got with her best friend, hence her decision to hit him where it hurt most.

"Hello everyone... My boyfriend just cheated on me with my best friend and look what I have here," she said in one of the videos," she is translated as saying.
"The fool left his Copa America tickets for the next two games. And I'm now going to raffle everything."

In the video shared by Argentine media outlet, Radio Sudamericana, Fassino urged fans to follow a separate account for a chance to win the tickets.

She followed up her previous tirade with another video vowing to give away a signed Lionel Messi shirt belonging to her boyfriend.

While holding the shirt, she asked her TikTok followers, "Who wants a Messi shirt?"

This inevitably prompted hundreds of responses on the thread as social media users tried their luck with the 'giveaway'.

According to Fassino, who claims to be a model on her Instagram bio, she found out her partner was unfaithful when Argentina played their opening Copa America game against Canada on June 21, 2024.

She further claimed her partner was messaging her best friend.

Argentina’s Copa America results

Since the lady shared her video on Monday, June 24, the tickets in question were likely meant for La Albiceleste’s next two group games - against Chile on Wednesday and their final group-stage game against Peru on Sunday, June 30, per ESPN.

Lionel Messi and his teammates have kicked off their Copa America campaign decently, with two wins from two helping Lionel Scaloni’s side secure a place in the knockout stages.
