After years of silence and glossy Instagram facades, Catherine Paiz has officially blown the influencer fairytale sky-high with her new memoir Delores, where she names names, drops truth bombs, and confirms the rumour mill’s worst-kept secret: Austin cheated. And not just once. She writes about the emotional gut punch of discovering his infidelity during her third pregnancy, a moment that, according to sources close to the book, shattered everything she thought was real.

Austin McBroom fights back after Catherine Paiz reveals he cheater on her

But Austin? Oh, he is not staying quiet. In a series of Snapchat posts that felt more like a mini docuseries than a response, McBroom claimed he was "blindsided" by the book. He accused Catherine of cashing in on their past and even shared throwback footage and private messages as evidence of… what, exactly? Damage control? Nostalgia? A plea for sympathy?

In true plot-twist fashion, Austin then pivoted to calling out Catherine for allegedly hosting ayahuasca retreats in their home, strongly implying that he had concerns about their children’s safety. Fans are now split harder than a TikTok comment section. Some are praising Catherine for finally telling her truth; others are suspicious about the timing and motivations behind the book.

And in the recent turn of events, looks like, fans are now supporting Austin and not Catherine, just two days ago X was filled with Catherine's supporters and today everyone is saying how they get why he "cheated."

While there were some followers still who were out there in support of Catherine.

Can we all agree that Austin Mcbroom is trying to manipulate everyone? Like how are y’all not seeing what he’s doing? Obviously we don’t know all the facts but his delivery is wild and very telling already.

Catherine Paiz’s memoir is about what?

Meanwhile, Catherine’s memoir is already being hailed as more than a tell-all. With themes of betrayal, identity, and healing, she is not just spilling tea, she is rewriting her narrative and reclaiming her power after years of living for the ‘like’ button.

The real question is: is this closure or the first episode of a new saga?

Either way, with Austin defending his character, Catherine finding her voice, and fans playing referee, one thing is certain, the influencer curtain has officially been pulled back. And spoiler alert: not everything behind it is picture-perfect.
