    Highlights
    • A woman in Kentucky was accused of leaving her ex-boyfriend's car totaled.
    • “The only thing I did was put glitter in the air vents and hurt the windshield,” she said in a text message.
    • The cost of the damages was estimated to be several thousands of dollars.
    • Netizens claimed she appeared to have the “happiest mugshot ever” and had “0 regrets in that smile.”

    Stephanie, from Madison County, allegedly poured salt in her ex-boyfriend’s car engine and dumped glitter in the AC vents.

    Investigators were told that the woman first slashed one of his car’s tires on July 6, thus leaving him stuck at the address.

    Later, on July 15, the former couple had another argument, after which the ex-boyfriend walked away because he couldn’t drive with a slashed tire.

    It is believed Stephanie carried out the rest of the damage after their July 15 altercation.

    A few days later, the ex-boyfriend arranged for the car to be towed to Goodyear to get an estimate for the repairs.

    That’s when he was told that the estimated cost of the damages was around $12,464.96.

    Stephanie had reportedly told the tow truck driver that she caused significant damage to the vehicle.

    The tow truck driver then contacted the victim’s mother, who co-owns the car, and informed her about the woman’s astonishing confessions.

    During an interview with cops, Stephanie said she dumped glitter into the AC vents, poured salt into the engine, cracked the windshield and rearview mirror, and broke the screen of the radio.

    She claimed the oil, motor, and other damages were not caused by her actions.

    The accused woman had also reached out to her ex-boyfriend and claimed she caused the damages because she was stressed out from being pregnant.

    She also reportedly apologized for her actions and offered to pay for the repairs, give him another vehicle, or give him her own car.

    “The only thing I did was put glitter in the air vents and hurt the windshield. He was overdue for oil and motor and everything else. Oh, and the tire,” she allegedly wrote in one text message.

    Stephanie’s father had gotten in touch with the ex-boyfriend and told him that his daughter would pay him for all the damages to the car.

    They could “come to a better solution than Stephanie taking a felony charge, so nobody gets hurt anymore,” Stephanie’s father said in one text message sent to the ex.

    “That smile says, ‘I’ve got bail money,’” read one comment, while another wrote, “She didn’t look like she had any regrets.”

    “And she doesn’t look one bit sorry. What ever he did, he learned something that day,” read another comment.

    The man claimed the woman, identified as Jasmine Holloway, hit him with her car and left him with non-life-threatening injuries.

    The car then allegedly hit a utility pole and was left damaged.

    While the ex-boyfriend was taken to the hospital, Jasmine allegedly fled the scene, but was found by officers a few blocks away within a short while.

    I don't get it - WTF are people coming out in support of her and her horrible vandalism? I'd be all for pressing charges if she did this to me, as well as suing not only for the actual damage and loss of use but emotional trauma as well.

    He'd be doing her a favor by pressing charges. She needs a major wake-up call. Behavior like this can get you killed if you keep it up long enough. There are other and better ways.

Let her have a record and make her pay for the malicious damage, not that it’ll teach her a lesson, this type of woman will always be toxic.

    Hey guys what's important to remember is that not all women are bat guano insane who will completely destroy your car because she thinks you are cheating. Flip the script, dude destroys his ex-girlfriends car because he has 100% proof that she's cheating and the same group of girls will be posting up about red flags and attacking all men. They'll even say he wasn't enough of man for her and that's why she went and cheated. The hypocrisy of the internet is limitless.

Also, in before "iMagIne iF tHe rOleS wErE rEverSed" without any mention about how different women's experience is with this type of c**p, of course. To these bozos both are on equal ground even though everyone else, as well as literal reality, know differently.
