Catherine Paiz is trending online after an excerpt from her upcoming book, Dolores: My Journey Home, went viral on different platforms. Notably, the excerpt is grabbing attention as it features the social media star alleging that her ex-husband, Austin McBroom, was unfaithful during their relationship.
The book is scheduled to arrive on July 1 this year. The Shade Room Teens obtained a glimpse of the excerpt, sharing the same through Instagram on Monday, May 12.
The photo of the excerpt shows Catherine Paiz claiming that Austin McBroom cheated on her, and that it was not a suspicion or rumor. The excerpt also reads:
“A close family member of his admitted to me that he’d invited a girl to that very Staples Center event, the same night I’d convinced myself I was being selfless for letting him have his moment. I’d seen her there. Pretty. A hanger-on. Standing just close enough to feel out of place, yet comfortable enough to belong.”
The Instagram star alleged that she began questioning the girl's presence, noting that she appeared out of place. The excerpt mentioned towards the end:
“Now, I knew. It all made sense: the way he hadn’t wanted me next to him, the shrug. The indifference. The way he treated me that night, as if I were a thorn in his side.”
Meanwhile, netizens took to the comments section of The Shade Room Teens’ Instagram post to share their reactions. People were spotted criticizing Austin McBroom based on the alleged claims in the excerpt, with one commenter writing:
“He did her so dirty!!! Smh.”

The responses continued, with individuals expressing sympathy over what reportedly happened with Paiz. While some praised Catherine for taking a stand for herself, one user was spotted sharing their excitement for Paiz's book.
