* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Helen, [[MistakenForCheating believing that Bob has been having an affair]], punches out Mirage (thinking she's his mistress) and calls Bob "a lousy, lying, unfaithful creep" as he pulls her in for a kiss.

* UrExample: Ishtar in ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh'': Gilgamesh scorns her because he knows sleeping with a goddess, especially this goddess, always ends the same way -- DeathBySex. It's a no-win situation, though Gil certainly doesn't do himself any favors by bringing up all her past lovers and their fates to her face.

* Harim's [[JerkJock ex-boyfriend]] from ''WebVideo/InSeoul2'' was bragging to his friends about how he easily tricked Harim into dating her just to get into her pants and [[TheBet prove to his friends how easy she's]] in a restaurant gathering. She learns about this and just as he's talking trash about her, she shoves his friends aside, [[ImprovisedWeapon grabs a scoop]], and beats him up with it after making it clear that she's the one who dumped him not the opposite. Even the police sympathize with her after they find out the whole story.
-->'''Harim:''' I told you I won't be patient anymore! ''[continues punching him in the face]''

* Sakurako Sanjou from ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers''. Because Domyouji made her life hell as a child, she pulls off quite the revenge plot that includes plastic surgery, seducing him, almost killing his PluckyGirl of a love interest, etc. Sheeesh.

* In ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022'', [[spoiler:Tom's sister-in-law Rachel's wedding is revealed to have been a [[ShamWedding sham]], as the entire thing was a setup by [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction G.U.N.]] to capture Sonic. Understandably, she is not pleased about having tricked into a FakeRelationship and attempts to murder her fiance with a golf cart before he reveals his RomanticFakeRealTurn, and holds the G.U.N. Commander at gunpoint.]]

* A particularly terrifying variant appears in the sixth entry in the ''Literature/LaFuerzaSeries'', ''Supers Anonymous''. Upon finding her male best friend in bed with her girlfriend, Jackie [[spoiler: ''created an illusion that drove them both insane''.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'': [[spoiler:Cheating on your LoveInterest will result in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Valentine's Day where every girl you two-timed smashes you into the ground, all at once]].

* Sukehime of ''Film/{{Onmyoji}}'' is so hurt by being forgotten in favor of another of the emperor's wives that it leads her [[spoiler:to become a demon, similar to some real beliefs of the Heian period]]. Though in Sukehime's case, this is caused or encouraged by the villain.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G., [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil fourth grade president]] [[PresidentEvil Jimmy]] forces his classmates to return to school on a snow day for an assembly where he will crown his queen. Jimmy's [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling devoted secretary Anna]] fully believes that she will be that queen, due in no small part to [[MistakenForFlirting how flirty he is to her]]. When she discovers that he is actually [[VillainousCrush in love with Lizzie]] (Numbuh 1's girlfriend), Anna is heartbroken and betrays Jimmy by giving crucial assistance to the Kids Next Door so they can defeat him.

* While she [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend wouldn't admit it]], Haruhi from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' gets pretty pissed when she catches Kyon messing around (not like [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown that]]) with Mikuru. [[spoiler:[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt It doesn't end well.]] Except that it does. Sorta.]]

* ''Comicbook/XMen'': When [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]], who at the time was a host for the Phoenix Force, caught her husband in bed with Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}}. It wasn't pretty.

* ''LightNovel/ThereWasNoSecretEvilFightingOrganization'' has a platonic example. Kaburagi's extreme hatred of [[MischiefMakingMonkey Ig]] is motivated largely by the fact that Kaburagi has always dreamed of having a cute animal sidekick, like the MagicalGirl protagonists that she adores... but when the organization finally got one, it ''hated'' Kaburagi. After a while, her disappointment became resentment.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'': In the story "Aesma and the Red-Eyed King", the crazy goddess Aesma falls for the GenericDoomsdayVillain the Red-Eyed King. He disingenuously promises to marry her if she [[SealedEvilInACan frees him]] and helps him become even more unstoppable. Once he's ready to go on his OmnicidalManiac rampage with her help, he ignores her. Since he's now a OneManArmy against other gods, the only thing that can stop him is when Aesma finally understands he's been using her and, basically, hits him with bigger and bigger objects; a ColonyDrop makes him falter, and when she's [[BeyondTheImpossible about to hit him with the entire universe]], he surrenders.

* ''Webcomic/PixieTrixComix'': Zadie is so annoyed to discover that her boyfriend has cheated on her that not only does she dump him, but her feelings on the topic become a recurrent feature of her character. She engages in a FakeOutMakeOut with the {{nerd}}y Aaron when her ex shows up in the same coffee shop, she fantasizes about learning wrestling skills so she can beat him up, and she looks very angry when she hears of another woman being cheated on.

* Wrestling/VickieGuerrero towards Wrestling/{{Edge}} after he proposed to her but then attempted to cheat on her with their wedding planner, Wrestling/AliciaFox. Guerrero got her revenge by siccing Wrestling/TheUndertaker on Edge but then had a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment when Undertaker beat Edge way worse than she wanted him too, allowing Edge to then [[TheScapegoat successfully blame the whole thing on Fox]] and allow the relapse of the RomanticPlotTumor that was their marriage.

%%* Jake's unnamed ex-fiancee in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)

* Lilith from ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}''. OK, not so much "scorned", as [[TheWoobie "mentally tortured into]] [[TheOphelia schizophrenia"]] and not so much "villainess" as "[[BerserkButton flies into an understandable rage]] when her husband (the monstrous Desus) is mentioned", but she acts the same as one.

* Gender inverted and later subverted in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'' where Dante learns that Trish, his guide to Mallet Island, is really working for Mundus and sends Nightmare to attack him in Mission 20. After its defeat, Dante saves her life but still does not take it well and he vows to kill her if they cross paths again. Trish had a [[HeelFaceTurn significant change of heart]] after hearing this and decides to return the favor by betraying Mundus instead. She's EasilyForgiven by Dante and they become partners in the demon-slaying business ever since.

* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel'': In an isssue, the queen of a race of Transformers-sized [[HumanoidAliens alien amazons]] is so impressed by Cloudburst (a Pretender with an organic shell that allowed him to pose as a giant human) that she decides to take him as her consort. When she finds out that he's a robot under his skin, she decides to take his head.

* In ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', Terra near the end of "ComicBook/TheJudasContract" goes crazy with her powers after she thinks [[Characters/BatmanDeathstroke Slade]], her boss and [[{{Squick}} lover]], betrayed her. In reality, Slade's son Jericho had possessed him. Slade was actually ''too afraid'' of Terra to openly betray her like that -- and given her reaction, his fear was perfectly justified. He clears up that he was possessed by Jericho, but Terra’s ''still'' angry at him because he had to beg Jericho to un-possess him, so she thinks he's "gone soft" on her. She then tries to kill everyone in the area, but she only succeeds in killing herself.
