Joseph Bentum shares his ordeal in Italy
In a now-viral video sighted on the TikTok page of @justwantolive8879, the elderly man, who shed tears as he narrated what transpired, claimed that he found out his wife was having an affair, and hence informed him that she no longer wanted to continue with the marriage.
In this vein, she, together with her supposed new lover, ostensibly joined forces to pack up his things from their home in Verona, with efforts to get a lawyer also proving futile.
Joseph Bentum, a welder, is now unemployed after being laid off due to his age and inability to work with the younger ones at his workplace.
He opened up about having to sleep in an open public space, detailing that he and others are often chased away by authorities.
