There's a website dedicated to publicly shaming 'homewreckers'

Sometimes, the wonders of the Internet are truly inspiring. People rallying around the disenfranchised. Folks coming together to battle discrimination. Videos of puppies terrified by doorstops. It's glory truly knows no bounds. Other times, though, it's a frightening landscape filled with revenge porn and seedy chat rooms. Or, as some woman are discovering, it can provide a public forum in which they can be shamed for allegedly stepping around with someone's man.

Shesahomewrecker.com is a thing and it's exactly what it sounds like it is. Women are posting photos of other women who were allegedly the "other woman." The pictures are often accompanied by details of the dalliances and the typical vitriol tied to a lover scorned.

Just ask Lorena Velasco...

Velasco says when she got involved with a married man, he said he was separated and had moved out.

"He really didn't tell me much about her. Going through a separation, the marriage just didn't work out," said Velasco.

Velasco never thought of herself as a homewrecker. But a search of her name online results in her pictures and name on shesahomewrecker.com. The images were taken from her Facebook page.

"It's hurtful. It's very hurtful," said Velasco.

The site encourages scorned women to post pictures and stories about the other woman.

"'I've included pictures of the whore, who knew she was married,'" said Velasco, quoting the post about her. "I guess she was so scorned that she felt the need to Facebook-stalk me, steal my pictures and say these things about me."

Ugh. To read more about Velasco's situation, check out the full report over at CBS Sacramento.
