A TikTok star on trial for shooting dead his estranged wife and her lover told jurors he “snapped” after seeing them cuddling on the couch — and just couldn’t stop spraying bullets at them.

Ali Abulaban, 32, took to the stand to testify in his own defense Wednesday after being charged over the October 2021 slayings of his wife, Ana Abulaban, 28, and her friend Rayburn Cadenas Barron, 29, in San Diego, NBC7 reported.

The social media personality copped to punching his wife three times in the face in an earlier argument in which she claimed to have slept with one of his friends.

He grew so paranoid about her cheating that he used his young daughter’s iPad to bug the luxury high-rise apartment they’d once shared — then burst in and found Ana and Barron embracing.

Ali Abulaban? I guess that is all you need to know.

"...told jurors he ... just couldn’t stop spraying bullets at them."

Not the usual message to convey when testifying in your own defense.

[NorthMountain]

Cheating garden tool of a wife ... I guess that is all you need to know.

Still ... there are better ways to handle it. Ways that don’t as likely lead to criminal prosecution.

Is that like a Call of Duty General?

I could see that. Too bad he has to go to jail

I don’t know. Not sure what I’d do if that was my wife.

Those muzzies sure like aberrant Behavior and Overkill

I guess Mr. Abulaban figured if OJ Simpson can get away with a double murder motivated by jealousy, anyone can.

60 years ago in Texas that would have gotten him 5 years probation.

Doesn't Sharia Law permit this?

“...after finding them cuddling”

Cuddling. Cheek-to-cheek, or tongue-in-groove?

[RinaseaofDs]

They are never yours. It’s just your turn.

[PLMerite]

Is the one on the left the husband, or the diesel girlfriend?

[NorthMountain]

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

A star?

You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.

Still ... there are better ways to handle it.

Let him foot the bills and good riddance.
