Off Campus fans are celebrating Mika Abdalla’s breakup from her ex-fiancé Jake Short after an old podcast clip resurfaced—where Jake used a slur about Mika while she sat next to him.
The breakup news didn’t take long to snowball—because once a resurfaced video hit feeds, Off Campus fans weren’t just glad Mika Abdalla and Jake Short were no longer together. They were furious.
Mika’s representative confirmed to Us Weekly that Mika and Jake Short. best known for starring in the Disney Channel series A.N.T. Farm, called off their engagement after 5 years together. The representative gave no details about what led to the split. but insisted the former couple “continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms.”.
With no clear explanation for the breakup, fans did what fans do: they dug. And what they found was a clip that’s now landing like a punch to the gut.
Back in 2024. Jake hosted The Sit and Chat podcast with his longtime friend and fellow Disney Channel alum Bradley Steven Perry. Bradley is known for his work on Good Luck Charlie. and he’s also the husband of Natasha Bure. identified in the resurfaced segment as Candace Cameron Bure’s daughter. In the episode, Bradley asked Jake how he would describe Mika—who was 26 at the time of the conversation.
Jake’s answer started with a grin. “I have two words.”
Mika responded: “Lot of farts.”
But Jake didn’t go where it seemed like he was headed. He said: “I’d be like, ‘Some b**ch’”
The moment hangs in the room. The clip shows Bradley and Natasha stunned into silence for a couple of seconds. After the awkward pause. Bradley broke in with: “Oh my god.” Mika then shot back at Jake. replying: “So. she’s the best person he knows — the best person he’s ever met — and I’m some b**ch?”.
Jake didn’t back down. He told Mika to dab him up before adding: “We’re locked in over here.”
Fans say the exchange wasn’t a one-off bad joke. The resurfaced coverage also claims that later in the same situation. Mika got cold and asked to borrow Jake’s extra shirt. The clip’s description says Jake refused—after Natasha and Bradley stepped in and demanded Jake give her the shirt. Instead, the segment says Jake kept declining and suggested they lower the AC.
For Off Campus fans, the timing of the viral resurfaced clip feels like a direct line between the engagement that ended and the way Jake is now being judged publicly.
Online, reactions have poured in—ranging from disgust to relief. One fan wrote. “Referring to your long-term partner as ‘some b**ch’ is so nasty. I don’t even care if it was a joke.” Another said. “If you are questioning why Mika and Jake broke up. here you go. Who would refer to his fiancé this way Mika Abdalla deserves better.”.
Others were more blunt about what they think the moment revealed. One comment read. “Jake Short called Mika Abdalla ‘some b**ch’ and humiliated her after she begged him for his coat because she was cold. What an a**hole!!!!. Thank God she ended things with him.” Another simply wrote. “So glad Mika is free from this ‘some b**ch’ of a man. You never call your gf/fiancée that regardless if it’s a joke…”.
Several posts also connected the breakup and the podcast moment more personally, with one Instagram commenter saying, “@liberiangyal i don’t even know these people but as someone who was formerly engaged to a clown, i hope that this young lady is free!!!! #offcampus #mikaabdalla #jakeshort.”
The clip’s spread has kept Mika’s breakup in the spotlight, with fans repeatedly framing it as confirmation that Mika deserved better.
An editorial thread is already clear in the comments: the engagement ended, but the viral video is what turned a breakup announcement into a verdict in real time. And for many, it’s not just that Mika and Jake are over—it’s that viewers now feel they finally understand why.

Damn that’s wild, I can’t believe he said that.
So she just called it off but no details? Sounds like PR and everybody already figured it out anyway. Also the “lot of farts” thing is kinda funny but then he went and ruined it.
Wait is this the same Jake Short from A.N.T. Farm? I thought that show was like forever ago. If he said a slur then yeah breakup makes sense but why is everyone acting like the podcast clip is the whole reason? Maybe she was just done with the podcast friends? Idk.
Not gonna lie, Candace Cameron Bure’s daughter being in the mix makes this seem like a Disney channel mess drama thing. They always get too comfortable on podcasts and then it comes back later. “Friendly terms” translation is just PR speak for ‘don’t talk about it.’
