Woman reveals her wife FAKED terminal cancer diagnosis

A woman has revealed how a book-turned-movie caused her to realize that her wife was faking a terminal cancer diagnosis. 

Yaya Kampen from California uploaded a clip to TikTok detailing the incident, which revolved around John Green’s 2012 bestseller, The Fault In Our Stars. 

Tagging the American author in her post, Yaya explains: ‘Your book actually completely changed my life twice and it’s in the weirdest way possible.’

She then details how, when she watched the movie adaptation in 2014, she realized the lead character’s story was eerily similar to her wife’s who supposedly had terminal bone cancer and when she did some further investigation, the truth unraveled.

When Yaya watched the movie adaptation in 2014, she realized the lead character’s story was eerily similar to her ex-wife’s who supposedly had terminal bone cancer

Recounting what happened when she watched The Fault In Our Stars starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, Yaya said: ‘At the time I was married to someone who was dying of terminal bone cancer. 

‘She had only a few months left to live and so it was a very poignant story.

‘But as I’m watching the movie I’m realizing that almost identical to the story plot is my wife’s life.’ 

Yaya admits that she hadn’t known her wife for very long before they got married, as time was of the essence because of her cancer. 

But she started to get suspicious about the woman she was in love with and went back to read Green’s book to get more clues about what was going on. 

The Fault In Our Stars follows Hazel Grace Lancaster, played by Woodley, a 16-year-old battling stage four Thyroid cancer who is forced into a support group by her parents. 

Yaya found out her ex was living a lie and was basing her life on a fictional character in the book A Fault In Our Stars, which later became a movie

While attending meetings, the teen develops a relationship with Augustus ‘Gus’ Waters, played by Elgort, a one-time high school jock who lost his leg to osteosarcoma. 

Yaya explains after she watched the movie and felt the plot was ‘just too close’, she went back to read Green’s book ‘and even the phrases that you used, she would use on the daily’.

At the end of her TikTok Yaya directly addresses the author saying: ‘So it was your story that inspired her to fake terminal bone cancer but it was also your movie from that story that gave me the first alarm bells to prove that she was lying to me about having terminal bone cancer.’

For any concerned viewers, Yaya says that her now-ex is ‘still alive and well’.

To date, Yaya’s enlightening TikTok has been watched more than 2.5 million times with thousands of viewers expressing shock around her story. 

TikToker @Lucky wrote: ‘You know, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been THAT bamboozled by a TikTok. I was simply unprepared for the journey you brought us on.’

And @MariekeVanRavenhorst commented: ‘I watched this three times, because I refused to believe I heard you right. WHAT.’

In the comments section Yaya, who works as postpartum doula, notes that she went to marry another women after the incident, ‘hitting the jackpot the second time [around]’.
