Managing Hollywood = Managing Victims

When I first started communicating with the guy who would later become a deranged stalker, I thought I was communicating with a business professional in the storytelling industry (AKA Hollywood).

Why did I think that?  Because it was an account that had been up and running for years with a bio that indicated it was the "managed account for fans" and was followed by other storytelling professionals, people who were actively working with the 'actor' on very visible, very real productions.

Not once during those early days did I believe I was actually communicating with the actor himself, no... that would come later, after months of back and forth DMs.

My initial goal when I started DMing with the 'managed account for fans' was not to chat up the actor, but to make contacts within the storytelling industry.

You see... back then, I was a serious screenwriter, though I had only done marginally well at the 2014 Austin Film Festival, with my "Required Family Outing" screenplay, but we'll go into that later, in a separate article.

I was also a book writer, and had self-published a 500+ page story, back in 2012, and I was an Accounting and HR Manager for small-to-mid-sized business, which had been my primary source of income for over 17 years.

So, to me, reaching out to industry professionals (a social media manger for a famous actor) came with a certain amount of protection, a certain amount of business etiquette.

I'd like to say I don't have any responsibilities in allowing myself to be lured into a very scary and dangerous situation, but that would be wrong.  It would also be wrong if I focused on my actions, as none of them were criminal, or morally unsound. 

Whereas the actions of the owner/operator of the 'managed account for fans', the actor himself, his management company, his employers, AND his friends (who were at the time actively engaging with another so-called unofficial account also pretending to be the actor), were all very harmful to many people, not just me. 

(Please note:  The official HBO account for the TV show the actor was on at the time - also followed the account that lured me into this very dangerous situation, and only that account.)

I won't go into why I believe this actor, his managers, his friends, coworkers, employers, and investors behaved AND STILL BEHAVE in these creepy ways, why they have willingly engaged (for years) with people they now say are criminal imposters, or why Elon Musk allows these easily preventable crimes to continue, as I go into all of that in depth in an upcoming book.

What I will say is... no 'Terms of Service' can strip you of your inalienable rights without making it very clear they are doing so.  If this isn't a law now, it will be very soon.  Which means Class Action Lawsuits will be filed, not only over celebrity impersonations, such as above, but also over the many experiments and crimes our Social Media Platform Owners are endangering us with.

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, the folks at Warner Brothers (they own HBO), all have a duty of care for their customers and their employees (including contractors).  If this is not already a law, written in stone, it soon will be.

Revolutionaries will not wield guns, like the toxic parasitic Hollywood idols forced upon us for the past 100 years, but subpoenas and disclosure orders.  Rebels won't call criminals to mid-day duels in the center of main street, but will instead serve them with 'summons to appear' - on their doorsteps, their yachts, and in their backwater drunk tanks.

What has been happening in the name of entertainment, PR, advertisement, and profit grabbing... has harmed too many people to be allowed to continue a minute more.

If you have been lured into online contact with a deranged psychopath, or any other kind of online predator, consider joining a Class Action Lawsuit.

There were a million ways they could have protected us, instead, they fed us to the wolves, and now call us crazy, and say it's all our fault - which we all recognize now as gaslighting and outright manipulation.

Your life has value, it's time we remind the world of that.

Namaste,
The Storyteller
