The multimillion-dollar abuse lawsuit against her fiancé fell apart in seconds after this video of her self-harming leaked

The story of Mary Hunt and Scott Mitchell began like a dream romance in the upper echelons of Palm Beach, but ended in a legal nightmare of epic proportions. 

Scott Mitchell, CEO of a successful nautical company, accused his ex-fiancée of having stolen more than 2.1 million dollars in jewelry and gold from his safe after their breakup.

Shortly after the theft accusation, Mary appeared publicly with her face visibly bruised, claiming that Mitchell was a violent man and that her injuries were the result of his attacks. 

Public opinion began to turn against the millionaire, until the home’s security videos surfaced.

The case has sparked a fierce debate about false accusations and the harm they cause to real victims of domestic violence.
