Brad Baena, the brother of Aubrey Plaza’s former husband Jeff Baena, has called his former sister-in-law a cheater after she announced her first child with Christopher Abbott.
Jeff Baena, the late indie filmmaker and husband of Aubrey Plaza, took his own life on January 3, 2025.
After Plaza’s pregnancy came to light, Jeff’s brother, Brad Baena, allegedly attacked her on social media.
A screenshot of his alleged social media post has been widely circulated, receiving millions of views within hours of being shared.
The screenshot featured a USA Today report of Aubrey Plaza’s pregnancy. The text on it read: ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater’, followed by ‘Instant Karma’.
A Facebook account reportedly belonging to Brad Baena shared more posts with such sentiments.
One message read: “People know exactly what they are doing. End of story.” The word “Karma” was added at the bottom. However, the sentiments were expressed on Facebook scrolls that have now expired.
Aubrey Plaza and her new partner Christopher Abbotth teamed up on the 2020 psychological drama Black bear and the off-Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s play Danny and the Ddeep blue sea.
