The lawsuit filed in Durham County Court accused Brenay Kennard – an influencer with nearly 3 million followers on TikTok and 274,000 followers on Instagram – of seducing and having an affair with her manager, Tim Montague.
North Carolina's alienation of affection law allows a spouse to sue the person they blame for an affair that ends a marriage.
Akira Montague claimed the affair caused her mental anguish, damage to her health and deprived her children of a two-parent household.
The alleged affair played out both in the manager’s home, and on Kennard’s social media, Akira Montague claimed.
Tim Montague eventually left his wife for Kennard.

I changed the title to hopefully seem less biased. The original article title says that the woman "destroyed" the marriage, places all the blame on the woman influencer.
I don't agree with the law. I think it's a bizarre news story
The significance of this story is that it's going viral on tiktok and youtube. I suspect there may be a lot of youtube essays coming out of this.
