A government employee was fired from his lucrative job after his wife caught him cheating on her at a hotel.
Wild footage recorded by a bystander captured the moment Marcelo Serra was confronted by his wife, Gabrielle Kienen, as he was about to drive away from the Praia Grande Hotel in Niteroi, Brazil, on September 12.
An angry Kienen got out of her truck and yelled at Serra as he sat with his partner in a vehicle belonging to the city’s Conservation and Utilities Department.
Kienen knocked on the driver’s side window and opened the door as Serra got out.

The mayor’s office said Serra broke the rules by using “an official vehicle for personal matters,” which is not allowed.

The couple, who have reportedly been married for six years, briefly exchanged words when Serra returned to the vehicle.
“You ruined my life, you bastard,” Kienen yelled at one point.
‘Using the city car at the Praia Grande motel, the Undersecretary of Conservation.’
A distraught Kienen continued to scream as Serra began to back up the car and argued with a bystander.
Brazilian news outlet Metropoles reported that one of Serra’s profile pictures on one of his social media accounts had a wedding ring emoji with Kienen’s name.

The video went viral on social media and eventually caught the attention of the mayor’s office.
