Brazilian woman caught her boyfriend cheating thanks to Google Street View (4 photos + 1 video)
Brazilian resident Juliana Lima spoke on TikTok about how the Google Street View online service helped her discover huge horns on her head. With his help, she unexpectedly “set fire” to her boyfriend - he was having a romantic date with another woman, who also happened to be the narrator’s best friend.
The video, which Juliana shared on TikTok last month, has since received more than nine million views.
The story she told is simple and artless. Juliana noticed one of Google Street View's cars near her home and became curious about how well her neighborhood and surrounding area were represented in the online service. She went to Google Street View and decided to find out what route the car took.
Suddenly, in the photographs, she saw her boyfriend on a motorcycle with some woman, and this woman was definitely not herself.
“The woman sitting on the back of the motorcycle didn’t look like me, so I decided to follow the path of the motorcycle. I followed him frame by frame, almost lost sight of him, looked through several alleys to find him. And suddenly I recognized a small street where my boyfriend often took me for a walk. At that second I thought that I was just paranoid and that it couldn’t be him.”
However, the video ends with a shot of a man, who Juliana Lima says is her boyfriend, resting his head in the lap of a woman on a street bench.
“It was my boyfriend and my best friend. I'm devastated."
The video has received more than nine million views
“I started to get nervous, the further I went, the more I lost sight of them, and then I saw them”
Viewers were shocked by the plot as well as the detective work that can be done using Street View.
“I discovered the horns on my head thanks to Google Maps. I saw the Google car and I wanted to explore the area."
One viewer commented: "Google saves lives." Another joked: "I'm starting to think she was driving that Google car." Someone else said: "The guy was very unlucky to be caught by the Google car that drives through there once a year."
