The ex-fiancee of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has accused him of cheating on her the same day that he asked her to marry him.
Laila Thompson-Wainer has given her side of the story over their split on her TikTok account, a little over a year after Johnson got down on one knee.
She claims that Johnson sent sexually explicit messages to his ex-girlfriend on the morning of the proposal and even after she said yes to being his wife.
‘I was 90 percent sure he was going to propose that day, there were all these little hints,’ she reflected. ‘We went for a photoshoot… he gets down on one knee, my cheeks hurt so much from smiling.
‘Now, knowing what I know now, this was his timeline. He woke up, texted his ex-girlfriend. Then proceeded to go through the same day I did, gets down on one knee, we commit to each other for the rest of our lives, marriage, crazy concept.
‘Then we get home from our engagement dinner and he texts her this.’

Thompson-Wainer shared what appeared to be screenshots of the sexual messages she says Johnson sent to his ex-girlfriend on the day that they got engaged.
‘I’ve given up trying to understand how someone can be that evil,’ she added. ‘I think you have to be a sociopath and that is just it at the end of the day.’
Johnson was taken in the seventh round of last year’s NFL Draft and enjoyed an encouraging rookie season in Tampa.
The 23-year-old scored five touchdowns in 16 appearances for his team but they failed to make the postseason.
Remarkably, Thompson-Wainer is also involved in the NFL, working as a community operations coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks, of course, are the team of the moment after beating the New England Patriots 29-13 at the Super Bowl in February.
Johnson, who is on a four-year, $4.3million deal with the Bucs, has not responded to the claims made by Thompson-Wainer.
She doesn’t appear ready to back down any time soon.

‘If I can make one woman feel seen, heard, or understood, help in a healing journey, then I’ve done what I set out to do,’ she said.
‘If I had to deal with a bad fiance, I would use what I learned about a bad man to spark conversations about healing and build a community of women.
‘That’s what I want this platform to be about. It is all about community. There is a lot to say about that man and the story will come out eventually. This is just me reflecting on a year ago.
