Just over a month ago, TikTok star Kayla Malec debuted her “He Doesn’t Love You” Series, a multi-part video not to be taken lightly. The influencer bravely spoke out about an abusive relationship that she had endured in order to raise awareness for Domestic Violence.
On May 7th 2025, Evan Johnson pled guilty to physically assaulting Kayla Malec in Nashville, Tennessee on August 24th, 2024. He was sentenced with 11 months and 29 days of probation for this plead, on top of 18 months in jail for DUI and violation of probation. “I was the last face he saw,” said Malec in a recent debrief of her case posted to Tiktok.
While any news of imprisonment for Johnson is relieving, this is not the end. Malec was allegedly assaulted in states Hawaii, California, and maybe even more. There are plenty more steps to take for Malec to take back power and claim justice, but for now, may she rest and feel safe.
