An influencer was beaten up during a livestream – allegedly over an ex-boyfriend’s debt.
Marie Bachitas, who has 750,000 TikTok followers and 185,000 Instagram fans, was attacked in a public park on Tuesday (10 Feb).
The content creator was seen being repeatedly punched by a heavyset woman, who shouted “I told you very clearly” and “I told you not to mess with me”.

Two of Marie’s companions, a man and a woman, both got up from a bench and looked on from a safe distance without intervening.
The attack, which took place in Monterrey, Mexico, was allegedly over a £2,130 (MXN 50,000) loan made to one of the influencer’s former boyfriends.
Marie, who creates humorous street content, later explained that she had nothing to do with the loan and never benefited in any way from the money.
“That person is an opportunist,” she said.
“A loan shark who wants to saddle me with a debt that’s not mine.
“Because I’m a public figure, she’s trying to shift the blame onto me and wants me to pay MXN 50,000 {£2,131) for the MXN 4,000 (£170) she lent to my ex-partner who didn’t pay her back.
“That was four months ago, I hadn’t seen this person before and I ran into her this week when she attacked me.”
Marie said she protected her face to avoid damage to her “pretty nose”, which is why she did not try to fight back.
Fortunately, the influencer did not suffer any serious injuries during the attack, as reported by Need To Know.
She added: “I took care of myself at all times and that’s why nothing serious happened to me.
“I protected my face throughout, and that’s why I’m fine.
“But this isn’t over.”
