This has all become so much more real and scary now that my face is out there for people to see, and I needed to address this all. My team has had access to my social accounts from as long as I could remember, in an effort to always stay on the side of caution given the size of my platform and inevitable, falsely spread, situations like this. I have almost completely stopped replying to dms from fans, random people, and old friends, due to situations like this and out of fear from stuff that has happened in the past to my friends and those close to me. One of the reasons I made this decision is because someone I knew when I was first making content completely lied about how close we were, and used friendly dms to tie into their unhealthy fantasy. As for why I think this is happening now, I recently made the decision to not use my old snapchat, and to make a new snapchat that I only have the people that I am actually friends with and actively talk to on, and this seems to have potentially struck a chord with people that I just casually talked with, for not talking to them anymore. I have also always made sure to have someone else have access to my public snapchat, and in 2020 had them completely run the account while sending me art and cool messages before discontinuing it for a while. I have always done my absolute best to make sure that no one is ever uncomfortable with the way that I treat them, publicly or privately, and make an effort to make amends if I ever do something that someone doesn’t like. It’s also one of the reasons why creators need to be as responsible as they can be and be careful when they interact with anybody. Having such a deep obsession towards someone to look deeply into their family, friends, and personal life, or making up relationships or friendships in your head is one of the biggest reasons parasocial relationships can become so dangerous. But it’s mostly been contained to their side of the internet other than during big moments (like the face reveal, or major streams / events). As far as I have seen, she was involved with leaktwt, and so was the first poster’s boyfriend, which seems to be a trend in situations like these. I did not engage inappropriately with her, and anything saying otherwise is completely false. This being warped into me being a groomer and the fact that she is and was 18 is scary and sad, and a huge reason as to why it is so hard to interact one on one with anybody online as a creator, especially people from within your communities. Once again, she was 18 years old, says she was 18 years old, and even had a boyfriend while she was friendly with me. I believe these messages are real as well. The second thread had instagram dms from me, again, having friendly normal conversation and nothing inappropriate. Regardless, she was 18 years old and had 18 publicly available in her twitter bio. The other information is false, and this has unfortunately blown up into something that it simply isnt. this is impossible since I use a google voice number on my tiktok account which doesn’t have the ability to iMessage. Part of this thread includes cringey flirt text messages (again, when they were 18) that were supposedly from me, because it says that it is from their contacts when they go to my tiktok. I did not act inappropriately with this person, and any attempt to equate these messages to grooming is not only disgusting but is insulting to victims who actually experienced grooming and still have trauma as a result. In these screenshots, them being 18 years old is mentioned in their bio, and I also very clearly asked them for their age. in these dms, there are no inappropriate comments whatsoever. Yesterday, a thread was posted that had screenshots of twitter dms from me from 2020. The best thing I can do, and what I want to do, is always be 100% transparent when it comes to something as important as this. I’m going to be extremely specific and straightforward as it’s a sensitive topic that I am taking seriously, and clarify on what’s true and what isnt. But I’m trying to write this post before my fight to get truthful information out there. I have been in a ton of scheduled meetings for the first time in my life this week, and have had so little time to check the internet that I actually excused myself to use the bathroom during a meeting to check what was happening online. I know it has been overwhelming and that the uncertainty is horrible in situations like this.
