  • When rising DJ Valentina Trespalacios met Andrew Tate fan John Polous, she thought she found a mature and generous lover. She had no idea that he was a heartless man who had recently abandoned his family for money and clout. He even believed he would get away with murder - Unfortunately for him, the authorities were hot on his tail…

      Are American women not responsible for their choices, and cant file paperwork to protect their family and children?

Why is it okay for women to shirk their duties and abort a child because they're not ready, and no one can shame or question their immoral motives, but men get completely lambasted and chastised for deciding to step out of a parenting role? Why do women's choice to abort get praised and men choice to abort financially get demonized?

      This is what I thought, too. Valentina was so trusting as she grew up in a loyal family with no experience of such manipulation, narcissism and misogynism. After watching True Crime on a daily basis, I've come across many cases of young, trusting women being killed by narcissistic misogynists lately. Just yesterday, I watched a video about a woman of the same age being killed by a narc monster. Both women had the same thing in common- they grew up in a loving and trusting family and fell into manipulative, controlling, depraved men. Both were ambitious, hard-working, kind, highly sociable and widely loved. With narcissism and misogynism proliferating, it seems there has to be some syllabus at schools on how to spot red flags of your partner being manipulative, controlling and borderline abusive. It could save so many people from abusive relationships that might end up deadly. And it does not only affect women, men can also fall into manipulations.

The best thing to do is walk away and find someone that wants only you. Getting jealous or possessive will only hurt the situation. Just walk away.

    I have to say; having been to Colombia once and speaking Spanish since I was seven (I’m 37 now, lol), your description in the intro about the country was great. I’ve seen some interviews with Colombian celebrities-like Maluma & Sofia Vergara-and they’ve all mentioned how depressingly predictable it is when interviewers (or just people) mention their country’s history with cocaine, suppression of the people, violence, & the drug wars of the past. As if that’s all the country is known for? How ignorant. There are so many famous musicians, both modern & old school, plus thousands of plant species and varied ecosystems. From the tropical rainforests of Chocó on the Pacific coast to the high Andes mountains, the Caribbean north coast, Barranquilla… it’s beautiful!! Many of our most popular trending houseplants grow wild there as well!
    But the animals are extremely diverse in Colombia, from tiny poison arrow frogs to mountain lions, jaguars & ocelots. Monkeys, sloths, tapirs, otters, anteaters, deer, snakes… it’s endless. Plus, it’s consistently the #1 country for total species of birds yet it’s hardly the biggest nation on the planet! It’s also #2 for biodiversity, as in total number of plant & animal species-only beaten by Brazil at #1. A wondrous country for sure.. So your description was nice! 🇨🇴 ❤

Back home, there are many speculation of Valentina cheating on this man, which is of course shameful, but that absolutely does not justify her death!
    I’m not trying to defend her, because if she did cheat on him that’s awful! but as you said he clearly was into her because of her looks (they couldn’t even communicate properly) and he probably thought she was easy to control. I reckon he thought he was smarter than her and could manipulate her with his lies. He spent his money trying to get women’s attention 😒 he wasn’t after something serious as he claimed. Like you, I do believe he planned to kill her, if he was so jealous and controlling, I can’t imagine him just being cool with her work suddenly. I wish she had broken up with him for good and not given him another chance, maybe she would still be alive.
    This man is disgusting and deserves to rot in jail and hell, not only for killing Valentina but for leaving his children without a single penny, what a scum bag!

It has to be mentally and emotionally exhausting for you. The reason I say this is because this one this week really got to me. This guy is a special kind of monster. The way he treated his first wife and what he did to her plus leaving her and the children (and one special needs child at that!) destitute then moving on? Stomaching all that is too much to handle but then to research Valentina… she sounded like an incredible young woman who had the world at her feet. A loving family, a kind and generous heart, creative nature, energy and remarkable beauty made her a memorable woman. For him to take her away and for you to find the details out is a lot to process too. So thanks Adrian, I really appreciate everything you do because I’m sure these cases affect your life. ❤

    So sad. I met someone while on vacations in the US, we had a long distance relationship. My family welcome him and we have been marry for almost 11 years. My heart goes out to her mother.

    My heart goes out to her family. 💔 John's former family has been through a lot of trauma, too. 😥 He is toxic.
    Yes, she cheated on him and was probably looking at $$, but little did she know what he was capable of. What a horrible way to go. 💔

      That's what happens when you choose to sell yourself instead of having standards.

    Scary how much John seemed like the whole package. When a man's jealousy gets to the point where he's trying to catch you cheating, especially if you aren't, its time to run, not walk out of the relationship. His insecurities are not her problem. It's so sad that her family didn't look further past his wealth amd ability to take care of her to the core of him. I get it, after struggling their whole lives, but he flew his freak flag loud and proud.
