Scorned woman takes out full page newspaper ad to shame ‘filthy cheater’ husband – and how she paid for it is amazing

A SCORNED wife got the ultimate revenge on her unfaithful husband – by taking out a full page newspaper ad to shame the “filthy cheater”.

The woman, known only as ‘Jenny’, outed Steve in the Australian paper Mackay and Whitsunday Life.

Steve would have got the shock of his life when he turned to page 4 in his local newspaper on Friday[/caption]

In a premium placement ad spot, Steve got his comeuppance for his alleged ways.

In simple bold text, Jenny wrote: “Dear Steve, I hope you’re happy with her.

“Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are. From Jenny. P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card.”

Unfortunately for Steve, his eyes wouldn’t have been the only ones to read page 4 of the newspaper on Friday August 12.

A whopping 50,000 readers who hail from the paradise Whitsunday region near the Great Barrier Reef got to enjoy the public humiliation, too.

And despite Jenny saying she used Steve’s credit card to pay for the ad, the editors of the publication said they couldn’t accept it without his consent.

So they ran the whole page totally for free.

They added: “We do NOT know who Steve is, but apparently he’s been very, very bad.”

The advert went viral on Facebook, with many rushing to share their thoughts on the public shaming.

“That’s taking the saying airing your dirty laundry in public to the next level”, one person chimed.

A second added: “Oh my goodness – Steve you are in trouble now.”

But one person didn’t see the funny side whatsoever, slamming: “Disgusting that you guys even thought about printing this, shows no class at all on your behalf.”
