Thank You to Our New Followers â And an Important Clarification
First, thank you to all of our new followers and friends.
We appreciate you. Truly.
However, itâs become clear that some people may have found us under false pretenses, and itâs time we explain what has been happening.
Over the past six months, weâve learned that someone has been promising free tickets, bookings, and other things we have never offered.
To be absolutely clear: we have not offered any promotions, tickets, or bookings in exchange for follows.
The truth is that weâve been dealing with a deeply troubling situation involving an individual who has been catfishing performers, impersonating us, and targeting our friends and family.
⸝
How This Started
Months ago, our founder ended a personal relationship.
Unfortunately, the other party did not take it well.
Since then, this person has:
⢠Spammed our personal and business lines and emails
⢠Flooded us with calls from dozens of unsuspecting victims
⢠Used stolen photos of us, our friends, and our families to create fake hookup profiles
⢠Catfished q***r men and performers to obtain their private photos, then used those photos to impersonate us further
In a single day, we received 63 calls from different people who had been contacted by this impersonator.
Weâve also received over 100 friend requests, all from people who had been misled.
And it gets worse.
⸝
The Personal Toll
This individual has even harassed our founderâs 73-year-old mother, who is in hospice and battling dementia.
She received late-night calls from strangers who had been manipulated into contacting her.
This was done solely as a means of retaliation.
No oneâespecially someone elderly and in fragile healthâshould ever be subjected to this.
⸝
The Catfishing Scheme
This person has created at least 100 fake accounts and has catfished 73 individuals by using:
⢠Photos stolen from our pages and others
⢠Private images stolen from victims they catfished
⢠Fake identities claiming to be us, our family, and our friends
They catfish someone, lure them into sending private pictures, block them, then use those images and our faces to catfish the next person.
Itâs disturbing, itâs predatory, and itâs illegal.
Weâve heard reports of this happening from Buffalo all the way down to Poughkeepsie.
⸝
What Weâre Doing About It
We are pursuing legal actionâ
And if youâve been targeted, you should consider doing the same.
In New York State, the following laws may apply:
⢠Criminal Impersonation (§190.25)
⢠Unlawful Dissemination of an Intimate Image (§245.15)
⢠Aggravated Harassment (§240.30)
⢠Right of Privacy Violations (Civil Rights Law §§50â51)
⢠Defamation (Common Law)
Weâve attempted to alert this personâs friends and family about the severity of their behavior.
Unfortunately, the behavior has continued â
Which means itâs consequence time.
⸝
What You Can Do
If you believe youâve been a victim:
⢠Screenshot everything
⢠Keep logs with timestamps
⢠Contact your local authorities
⢠Consult with a legal professional
We truly hope this unhinged behavior stops.
This is what happens when someone refuses to take responsibility for their mental health and the harm theyâre causing.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out, offered support, or shared your experiences.
Weâre doing everything we can to protect our community.

Take this is as your cease and desist
