Yanet Garcia, who has been dubbed ‘the world’s sexist weathergirl’, has sent a sly dig at her ex-boyfriend who split with her to spend more time playing Call of Duty.
Earlier this year, Douglas ‘FaZe Censor’ Martin revealed in a video posted to YouTube he dumped his girlfriend so he could focus on professional gaming on a full-time basis.
He also spoke about how they pair met, describing how he flew ‘all the way out to Mexico’ from New York three years ago in order to meet her. They started to date and Yanet later moved to the big apple for a year.
However, things changed when Yanet decided to go back to Mexico to continue her job as a weathergirl and to pursue a career in acting and modelling.
He said:
I supported her decision. She wanted to be a supermodel actress – chase your dreams, life’s too short. I’m playing Call of Duty full-time now and she wanted to take her job opportunity. I didn’t think it was going to be that difficult. Back then it was a lot easier for me to go out and see her. But now I have obligations.
I’m on a contract. It’s not like I don’t want to do this, this is the career that I want. I want to win a ring, I want to win a world championship, what I want in my life at this very moment is to compete in Call of Duty because I love it so much. I’m going to do whatever it takes to be a champion.
There’s only 24 hours in a day and I just didn’t have enough time to do what I needed to do.
Yanet responded to Douglas, saying she was ‘at peace’ about the the whole thing, describing the long distance relationship as ‘very difficult’, and wishing him success in the future.
However, it seems now that Yanet couldn’t help but have a little dig at Douglas on social media recently.
Earlier this month, the Evil Geniuses team won the CWL Call of Duty championships, beating Team Kaliber at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
Asia, the girlfriend of Justin Fargo who is part of the Evil Geniuses team, tweeted her partner after their victory, saying:
Saying I’m proud of you is such an understatement. I love you so much, you’re an incredible human and my favorite one.
A boyfriend who is a professional gamer wins a massive tournament but managed to stay with his girlfriend throughout it all? Sounds like Douglas could learn a thing or two, not just about relationships but CoD too.
Yanet didn’t miss the message either, as she retweeted the message with the caption ‘True love’.
Naturally, fans took it as a message aimed squarely at her ex, Douglas.
One person replied:
i love the shade she’s throwing. she’s a queen.
While another, tagging Douglas, said:
So you’re telling me you can win cod champs and still have time for you s/o??? Well would you look at that
Perhaps Yanet wasn’t as ‘at peace’ with it as she suggested…
