Why Gold Rush Star Rick Ness Split With Former Fiance Leese Arie

Back when Leese Arie confirmed her split from Rick Ness on TikTok, she'd used the hashtag "#Cheatersneverchange." Sadly, that seems to have been an eery foreshadowing of what would lead to their breaking up for good. 

After experiencing a ton of hate from a Facebook fan page dedicated to Ness, Arie clapped back at trolls by pointing out the true extent of his infidelity and revealing that he was a serial cheater. "Ppl make mistakes, but being cheated on over 200, yes — I said two hundred times. ... is NOT A MISTAKE!!" she shared in an Instagram post (via Starcasm). In the same post, she also revealed that she was finally done for good. "Thank you for the good luck, but I don't think it's 'Luck' I need. I already did the best by leaving him forever," she said. 

While she's since made her Instagram account private, at the time of writing, Arie is still active on TikTok — and she's been very open about the cheating there, too. In response to one TikToker asking if they really had broken up, she replied, "Yes, I couldn't do it anymore. You [can't] force someone to treat you right." Replying to another commenter, she made a point of noting that she has to prioritize herself. "I am finally strong enough to do what's best for me," she wrote.
