After experiencing a painful divorce, Natalie, a mother of two from Ibiza, Spain, turned to TikTok to share her story. Through a series of videos, the 33-year-old has been candidly discussing her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, who was previously employed as their family's nanny.
She posted a heartbreaking photo of them riding Splash Mountain together in a recently viral video. Her former husband was sitting in the row behind her and her daughter, while the nanny leaning against him.
"I was going through old photos and came across more than one where they were a little too close...," she wrote in the on-screen text.
Although the former stay-at-home mom has not directly stated that her ex-husband and the nanny had an affair, her videos strongly imply that there was some kind of unrighteousness between her ex-husband and the nanny during their marriage.
"We went to Disneyland in Orlando and took the nanny with us. To help with the kids…. Not the husband," as she noted in the video which has received over 1.6 million views.
In support of her, many commenters expressed their outrage, but some couldn't help to point out that Disney World is located in Orlando, not Disneyland.
The first red flag is that they rode together!!! One person wrote.
Knowing damn well there would be a photo of it... that's so cheap of her, another said.
I'm so sorry for this sad story, I hope you always be strong to take care of your children, someone comforted.
You would never have had this problem if you had hired Mrs. Doubtfire, some criticized Natalie for hiring the nanny; one user on TikTok commented.
Other nannies offered their opinions as well, stating that Natalie's former employee was acting totally inappropriately.
I'm angry for you because I was a live-in nanny in the past and am now a mother. It's not difficult to refrain from doing that! One woman wrote
As a former nanny, I would have sat with the child or the mother well before I sat with the father, another insisted.
In a subsequent video, Natalie responded to a comment made regarding the presence of two parents and a nanny for a single child, disclosing that they had brought along two nannies to assist with their two small children while traveling abroad.
After her divorce, Natalie, the mother of two children aged 9 and 10, shared that they had two nannies who worked different shifts when she was a stay-at-home mom. Six years ago, during a month-long trip to the US, both nannies accompanied them to provide company during their free time.
However, Natalie has faced challenges in the past year. She transitioned from being a stay-at-home mom to working an entry-level job with low pay.
Meanwhile, her former nanny now resides in her previous home, adding to the difficulties she has encountered.
In a previous video, Natalie clarified that Spain does not have a traditional alimony system. When a couple divorces, they typically retain the assets and possessions they had before entering the marriage.
This means that there is no financial support provided by one spouse to the other after the divorce.
"When I got married I was 22 years old, I didn't have anything when I entered the marriage," she explained.
"So any money I get is out of the goodness of his heart. Legally, he doesn't have to give me anything," Natalie added.
In Natalie's latest video, she candidly shared the reason behind her focus on criticizing her former nanny rather than directing her frustration towards her ex-husband, who recently had a baby with his new girlfriend.
According to Natalie, in her latest video, she revealed that her ex-husband has been surprisingly understanding and remorseful throughout their difficult situation.
In contrast, she described the former nanny as exhibiting the opposite behavior, showing a lack of remorse and displaying a negative attitude.
"She sends me vile messages. As soon as I moved out of my old villa, she moved straight in. She has banned me from going to the house to even pick up my kids.
"I cannot go round to collect my possessions. If I want anything from that house that's mine, they send it over with the cleaner. Which, you know, is ugh," Natalie recounted.
"She actually filed a police report against me at the beginning of all of this because when I found out, I went ape s**t. Like I lost myself completely. I mean, who wouldn't?" She said.
Natalie expressed her surprise in a video, revealing that she was unaware of having filed a police report against the nanny until she received a phone call from law enforcement.
The allegations mentioned in the report were that Natalie had called the nanny a 'slut' and had been verbally abusive towards her.
"I was like, "Yep, I did that. Not gonna deny it because she is a slut." Anyway, so I eventually got her to drop the charges against me," she recalled.
"But you know what I mean? It's just things like that," she added.
"If it had been handled differently, and she had said to me like, "I'm sorry for how this has happened..." At the end of the day, if they really love each other, they just had a baby together, then who am I to stop them from being together?" she explained.
"It's just the way that it's handled that's just so wrong, and her whole attitude me is just so wrong. Like how can she possibly be so horrible toward me?" She concluded.
