When an individual dumps another individual after they have received every possible benefit they could get out of them.

This is a reference to a lemon that gets squeezed every single drop out of it aftrr which it is dumped in the trash can.
Jane got some nice clothing from Joe, a place to stay until she saved up a bit, a new phone, a new car, a great trip to Ibiza. Joe is now poor and Jane abandons him. Poor Joe just became a victim of the squeezed lemon effect.
