Vintage Culture accused of cheating on his girlfriend and speaks out publicly

Vintage Culture responds to cheating allegations after viral video with mysterious blonde in Switzerland, while girlfriend Sarah Hardel remains silent.

Brazilian DJ and record producer Lukas Ruiz, known professionally as Vintage Culture, is at the center of controversy after a viral video showed him getting a little too close to a blonde woman during a Marco Carola Set at the Caprice Festival in Switzerland. The clip, which shows him hugging and appearing to kiss the woman’s neck, sent fans into a frenzy and sparked immediate accusations of cheating on his girlfriend, Sarah Hardel.

Sarah, a digital creator and influencer known for her striking style and presence at major music festivals, has been in a long-term relationship with Lukas. As speculation surged online, the DJ behind Vintage Culture decided to clear the air with a heartfelt, and very public, Instagram post.

“This is the woman of my life… Yes, I hugged the girl. Yes, it was a mistake. But I didn’t cheat,” he wrote, alongside the above photo of Sarah with breakfast in bed.
“I’ve never loved anyone like I love Sarah. I take full responsibility for the fight we had, but what they’re saying online isn’t true.”

He also added: “I’m sorry, my love, for hurting you. This is not me. I am here to make you the happiest person in the world.”

In his latest post, Sarah liked a comment that said: “You’re PEREEEEFECT SARAH! His loss, right girls 🥲?”

After the video circulated, Sarah began liking comments suggesting the end of their relationship. Despite Lukas’s justification, she responded to Doozie’s defense with a strong message: “No argument justifies it,” she said, without revealing the details of the argument she had with Lukas. Despite the controversy, Sarah has not officially commented on the situation on her social media.

As of now, it’s unclear what will happen next. While Lukas has shared his side, Sarah has yet to publicly address the situation, leaving fans to speculate. Her silence continues to fuel the uncertainty surrounding the couple’s future. We’ll be keeping our ears open for any updates, but one thing’s for sure — this drama is far from over.
