Normally, you wouldn’t want your birthday to include a breakup, but for one Colombian-Mexican-American woman from Texas, that’s exactly what happened – ending in an empowering moment for her. And it’s made her go viral in the process.

In a video shared on Twitter, Tiana Perea decides to make an announcement as she celebrates her birthday with her closest friends and some members of her family. “I would just like to thank y’all for coming here,” she started. “Like, I couldn’t really ask for better friends. I really couldn’t. Y’all are seriously the best. I’d like to thank Santos for making me realize I deserve so much better. Because every single person here knows you were trying to fuck with some girl. All of us have seen screenshots … you were sexting her and sending her videos.”

As Tiana continues to provide receipts, her brother walks down the stairs with Santos’ duffel bag. “In case you didn’t figure it out, we’re over and you can get the fuck out,” she said.

In her cheeky Twitter post, she asked if calling him out in a birthday speech is the right way to handle a cheating boyfriend. But despite putting him fully on blast, the 22-year-old didn’t share Santos’ handle. She did, however, take the time to let the internet know that they could hit her up because she was newly single.
