A-mother-of-two who went viral after sharing an astonishing story about her love rat ex and his seven secret children has been accused of stretching the truth for sympathy and donations.

Cassandra Taulaki claims she was left homeless after discovering the father of her unborn child, known only as ‘Marcus Bennet,’ had fabricated his entire identity.

Ms Taulaki said she sold everything to move to Dubai with her lover but after the whirlwind relationship ended, she returned to Australia pregnant and broke.

Setting up a GoFundMe to help her ‘start again’ with her new baby, Ms Taulaki has also been exposing Bennet’s alleged lies on TikTok.

But in a surprising twist, Ms Taulaki has now been called out online after it was revealed she’s actually moved in with her famous ex, influencer ‘Jamuk,’ leaving his pregnant partner out on her ear.

Ms Taulaki and Jaymuk, whose real name is Jamie Evans, share a child together, but Jaymuk was allegedly still in a relationship with Madi Hale when he invited Ms Taulaki to stay after she was left penniless.

It was after Ms Taulaki started sharing her relationship woes in videos that massed millions of views that internet sleuths noticed a suspicious detail.

‘These videos are filmed at Jaymuk’s house,’ commented one person. ‘Madi is also due to give birth in days, why is she staying at a hotel?’

‘Has he kicked his baby-mumma out for his ex-baby-mumma?’ questioned another.

Jaymuk posted a statement after noth their social media accounts were bombarded with accusations. 

‘I want you all to know I am deactivating my social media accounts,’ it read. 

‘There is a lot going on in my life right now and I need to focus on my kids and my family.’

Messages from Ms Taulaki claiming she had nothing to do with Jaymuk and Ms Hale’s break up were then leaked online.

‘Madi was not here when I returned from Dubai, she was in a hotel searching for a rental because they were splitting up,’ the message said.

‘She was asked to come home and I leave to go to a hotel until she found her own place and she refused that offer. Multiple times.’

Ms Hale then added more fuel to the fire by posting her own retaliation video claiming she was very ‘uncomfortable’ with the situation because her relationship with Jaymuk was not over.

‘I just want to clarify one of the things said that wasn’t true. I had no idea of someone moving in, I wasn’t asked prior, I was told,’ she said in her emotional video.

‘I didn’t even get to know why, I had to extend my stay, which was only planned for a few days, in the hotel.

‘And also, I’m not a person with a bad heart so for someone to make up things like I wasn’t going to help someone that needed it.

‘Even if I’m not your biggest fan, so don’t say that I would have been happy with someone homeless.’

Ms Taulaki met Bennet on a dating site around Christmas 2023 and the pair planned a new life together after she fell pregnant in May 2024. 

Believing his money was ‘tied up with the ATO,’ Ms Taulaki said gave him thousands of dollars before her world came crashing down when she flew to Dubai and found out he was really an unemployed barber who’d allegedly conned multiple other women with the same story.

‘That’s when I found his passport in a different name and started to work everything out,’ she said. 

‘I didn’t let him know and fled Dubai coming back to Australia without anything.’

Ms Taulaki explained that while her story sounded like it was from a movie, she didn’t believe it could ever happen to her.

‘I fell for a man who wasn’t even real – he lied about everything, his name, his age, his job, his family, his entire life,’ she said in an earlier social media post.

‘We had made plans for our future and our life together, but it was a future that was built on the foundation of all his lies and I had no idea who I was really dealing with.

‘He was creating a world of fake accounts and fake people – and doing this for years to other women.’

Ms Taulaki said she also believed Bennet when he claimed he was childless – but she’s since found out he has allegedly fathered at least seven other children.

A few weeks later Ms Taulaki took to social media, posting a series of videos of her now ex-boyfriend, vowing to ‘expose’ him for what he had done

Within hours, she was flooded with messages from a string of women who knew Bennet and had similar stories to tell – including seven who were mothers to his children.  

Her videos have since racked up millions of views with hundreds of supportive comments, prompting Ms Taulaki to launch a GoFundMe which has raised just over $6,000.

‘I am trying to raise funds so I can move into my own place for my children and I, furnish our home and start getting my life back on track as I navigate life with a new born again,’ her plea read.

‘I live in Australia but am an NZ citizen so I do not get government support after I have my baby. I am due in just over a week.

‘I had my funds depleted by a man I had trusted and loved and thought was building a future with.

‘I returned to Australia with no home, no job and little money after fleeing the relationship I was in. I have no family here and appreciate even just a few dollars. 

‘I don’t get creator funds on TikTok and can’t monetise my story there so hence why I’ve created this to try and get some help so me and my babies can have a stable home.’

But some angry fans feel that Ms Taulaki should have been more honest about her living arrangements.

‘What about poor Madi? She is not starting a fundraiser,’ commented one person. 

‘She was homeless, living in a hotel and also starting again with a baby, but you are just living with your ex.’

Since having her baby on March 15, Ms Taulaki announced she was taking a break from social media.

According to Ms Hale’s most recent posts she is currently in labour with Jaymuk’s baby.

Jaymuk’s accounts remain deleted.
