A woman has been caught on CCTV allegedly planting a dead cockroach in her food to avoid paying the bill, causing a stir online. The incident took place at Puerto Chale Restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico. The restaurant shared the footage on TikTok, where it has garnered over 3.3 million views.
In the video, the woman, seated with three others, discreetly retrieves a small container from under the table and dumps its contents onto her meal. She then pretends to be horrified, calling the waitress over and making exaggerated gagging gestures. Meanwhile, a boy next to her is seen smirking.

The woman reportedly threatened a scene if her family was charged, prompting Puerto Chale to waive the bill. After the family left, the restaurant manager reviewed the CCTV footage, confirming the scam. Locals have since dubbed her “Roach Lady” in response to the incident.
