What's the craziest thing you've done after a break-up?

Last week, Keke Palmer made headlines for making fun of her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, in Usher's new music video for 'Boyfriend'. 

The 'Akeelah and the Bee' actress appeared in the video after the father of her son publicly shamed her for wearing a sexy outfit to Usher's 'My Way' residency show in Las Vegas.

"It's the outfit tho... you a mom," Darius said about the black sheer dress she had on.

But playfully making fun of something your baby daddy said in an Usher music video is child's play compared to some of the crazy things people have done after a break-up.

While some people choose to pour their heart out in a lengthy text message after a break-up, others take things to another level. 

Here's a look at some of the craziest things we've seen people do over the years after a messy split. 

Woman sets boyfriend's car on fire

In 2020, a woman from Michigan in America received instant karma after she poured a flammable liquid into her ex-boyfriend's car and set it on fire. Her plan literally backfired when the car exploded in her face. 

A witness told the police that the woman broke the car's window with a baseball bat before dousing it with gas.

"Another witness had gotten the license plate of the suspect's car. Kelly S. Hayes, age 34, Madison, was later arrested for arson and criminal damage to property. Hayes had a past relationship with a man who drives the car, which was assessed to be a total loss," the City of Madison Police Department said.

Reality star dumps ex-boyfriend's possessions on doorstep

'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans made headlines in 2021 when she revealed the petty thing she did after a break-up with her ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith. She dumped his possessions, including a sofa, on his doorstep. She even took a picture of herself sitting on the sofa in front of his door! 

"He ended up moving to his friend’s house, so I packed all of his s**t and dropped it off at the front door because I gave him, I don’t know, like three days to a week to come get it and he was right down the street but he didn’t come get it," she said in a video shared on TikTok.

Woman makes man remove shoes she bought him

A South African woman went viral on TikTok in 2023 when she allegedly caught her boyfriend cheating at a mall. She confronted the man as shoppers looked on. Her friend tried to diffuse the situation by telling her to walk away, but she refused to do so until he took off the shoes she bought him.

"Remove my shoes. I am the one who bought those shoes for you. Remove my shoes!" she can be heard saying. The man eventually took off the shoes!
