Brimming with the kinetic energy of an approaching storm, Anthony Ramos must be over the moon with the torrent of enthusiasm surrounding the much-anticipated Twister sequel. No, we haven’t predicted that, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Ramos would make such a jubilant return to the big screen.
Towering a staggering 28 years over its predecessor, this cinematic cyclone—helmed by Lee Isaac Chung— has created a completely novel path, virtually untethered from the original Twister’s narrative anchorage.
The silver lining? Critics are showering praise like gentle rain, and the box office is resounding with the sound of roaring success. It’s an awe-inspiring comeback after Ramos, known for his role in In The Heights, steered through the upheaval of a personal tempest. Wait…. personal tempest?
Yes, in 2021, his reputation took a nosedive into the eye of the storm when rumors of infidelity sucked the joy from his engagement to Jasmine Cephas Jones.
Unpacking Anthony Ramos’ Cheating Scandal: What Really Happened?
Anthony Ramos’ excitement over the release of Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters seems to be overshadowed by allegations of cheating that have spread like wildfire across social media….a few years ago.
It all started in 2021 when reports surfaced claiming that the Honest Thief star, 32, had been spotted getting cozy with a woman who was not his former fiancée, Jasmine Cephas Jones (see Parade). Fan the Flames happened when Ramos released a sneak peek of his song titled Villano, seemingly addressing the rumors head-on.
The lyrics hint at unresolved issues and secrets in a relationship, suggesting that there may have been more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye. The allegations of infidelity gained momentum fast, sparking conjecture regarding the status of Ramos and Jones’ relationship.

While the original video has been made private, some users suggested that the man in question was In the Heights star, comparing his appearance to an interview he had done with People magazine.
The woman he was allegedly seen with did not appear to be Jones, causing even more uproar among fans. The online frenzy surrounding the rumors has been intense, with X exploding with memes, disappointment, and disbelief over the possibility of Ramos’ infidelity.
