Streaming culture is unfiltered emotion, and Yonna Jay provided that last night. The young social media personality whose untamed looks and amiable streams are becoming increasingly popular wept on stream after she broke the news that she was robbed, harassed, and kicked out of the Atlanta home where she lived after the landlord orchestrated a strange scam.
The 100 A Year Rent Scam
In a popular TikTok and Twitter clip, Yonna described how she was offered a tiny house in Atlanta for a ridiculously cheap $100 per year. “Bitch, who wouldn’t accept a tiny home for $100 a year?” she taunted her audience, visibly agitated.
As she explains it, she was presented to alleged tiny home dwellers by one of the people she knows who were making the ridiculous offer. Assuming it was genuine, she transferred the items of her existence into this setup thinking she had struck gold on the rental market.
Rather, Yonna said she didn’t expect it to happen. On stream, she outlined why the landlord trudged on the porch, literally touching things and kicking her out of the house. “I just don’t think it’s right to touch other people’s things, if you know what I mean,” she told her chat, holding back tears. Clips of video from previous streams allegedly of the man involved hanging around the house in the week or so preceding the actual eviction.
From Atlanta Dreams to Hotel Rooms
Her impassioned testimony described how quickly the ATL trial with the influencer imploded. Yonna said that she had relocated to Georgia partly because it’s near her grandparents outside of North Carolina, and she wanted to “try it out” and see if she would enjoy living there permanently. Her desire to live affordably in a hip mini-house, though, was dashed when she realized that the landlord’s guarantees were a scam.
She has a hotel room now as she is figuring out what she is going to do next. “I’d love to live in ATL though,” she admitted. “But as far as inside, you know, I don’t have a problem finding a job. So we’re gonna go check out another job today, and this one’s gonna be really fun.”
