Why was Yoatzi's boyfriend arrested?

Although the influencer continued to feature her ex-boyfriend in her videos till September 2020, it had become pretty clear that their relationship had turned sour. According to a report in Distractify, on Jan 19, Andrade was arrested after he broke into Yoatzi’s home in Watsonville, California. The situation got out of control and resulted in a nine-hour standoff between Andrade and the police.

In fact, the Watsonville police department posted a statement on Instagram, detailing what had transpired and stated, “Jessie Andrade, 30, is now facing several charges, including felony criminal threats, brandishing of a firearm, felony burglary, violation of a domestic violence restraining order, and resisting/delaying his arrest." The shocking statement revelas that, Andrade broke into Yoatzi's home in the early morning hours on January 19 and allegedly "pointed a gun at her, their 4-year-old son, and his ex-girlfriend's father”. The victims were able to safely leave the residence and call the police. When the cops arrived at the residence, Andrade refused to exit, and "crisis negotiators spent hours attempting to convince the suspect to surrender." He left the residence at around 10:30 a.m., and was arrested upon his exit. Any subsequent updates on the case and the arrest have not been publicly shared at this time.

She revealed that her friends and family had warned her about Andrade long time ago and had suggested that she should cut ties with him. "So many people told me to run a long time ago...
