00:00Put a finger down if you were in a three-year relationship with a professional athlete who

00:04created a fake identity for himself and for his entire family and used it to scam you out of

00:08about $50,000. A little backstory, I had some mutual friends back from Michigan that knew of

00:14this guy. I followed him back at that time and he followed me back and we'd been following each

00:18other for years. He played hockey for the LA Kings and hockey season started. I was bored one night

00:24and I texted him and I just said, hey, if you have any extra tickets to your game, Chrissy and I would

00:28love to go. He responded, he sent tickets, and he was like, of course, yeah. He just wants to live a

00:33normal life and I'm here to help him. I will take my education and knowledge and I will get to the

00:39bottom of everything going on and I will help you. I continued going to games almost every single home

00:45game at this point. We continued hanging out, but when I would go to games, he was very, very set on

00:50you need to be incognito here. You cannot see anyone that knows me or let anyone that knows me know I

00:56know you. My family cannot find out about you. If anybody finds out about you, it will get back

01:01to my family and there's going to be a problem. So now we have a new issue come up with the family.

01:06I knew they took his payroll and they controlled his every move and now they can't find out I exist.

01:12I just listened because I still had no clue what was going on and I spent the next however many months

01:17dodging everything. I didn't know what this problem would be, but him and I needed to stay a secret

01:23according to him. Therefore, I was not allowed to meet a single person through him. I did keep having

01:28the same thought that maybe this is just him being nervous and it took him so long to actually meet me

01:32in person that he's just nervous about these kinds of things. So I ended up bringing him around my

01:37family. He met my mom. He met my stepdad. He met my sister. He knew my best friend. I thought maybe if I

01:43showed him that that was okay to do, then he would maybe do it back. And throughout this time, I kept

01:47saying, hey, I would love to meet your family. And he always reassured me that that was never going to

01:52happen and that that would be a huge problem. Everything that we planned up until this point

01:57is down the drain. I haven't received a dime from the $30,000 he took from my PayPal account.

02:02And I also have been funding his entire past year. And now he's telling me I'm not even allowed to go

02:09near him. So the only thing I can do is come up with a new plan. So the new plan we come up with is

02:14his contract's ending soon. He's been telling me that if he were to leave his house, his family was going

02:19to show up and hurt both of us. And he didn't want to put me in danger. And he didn't want to get

02:23hurt. So he says, let's wait until my contract ends and I go somewhere else. Hopefully. He tells

02:30me he's just going to recover and we're going to barely see each other. And we're just going to hope

02:34that when the season ends, he gets traded somewhere else. And when that happens, he said, you know,

02:40you can help me get my own place and my own car. And I won't be controlled when I have my own things.

02:45So I'm sitting here waiting. I don't know what's going to happen next, but I'm here to help still.

02:51And that's when his sister comes to town. I have been told I'm not allowed to talk to anyone or

02:55meet anyone in his family, but I'm kind of sick of everything that's going on. So I took it upon

03:00myself to DM his sister on Instagram. And I said, hey, I've heard so much about you. I would love to

03:06meet you. Let's get dinner. I fully expected to be ignored. I fully expected her to say she can't do

03:14that based on everything I've been told and the way he acts. I just expected it to be him 2.0.

03:20And she instantly responded and said, I'd love to meet you. Let's do it. So I call the mental health

03:26director of the NHL and I tell him everything. And he offered me free therapy for everything I went

03:32through. At that point, I kind of realized like, oh my gosh, yeah, this is this whole situation is

03:36insane. I was really blind to everything. And I always felt really bad for him. And I made excuses for

03:42him because of this like act he put on. And I excused all of the abusive and horrible behaviors

03:49that he had towards me. And that really made me realize that I needed to get away. I really needed

03:55to just get away. Things were never going to change. I then found out that I was leaving New York and he

04:01was Ubering girls to his apartment in New York, the apartment that I set up and cooked and cleaned in

04:07and had all my stuff in. This probably adds to his anger because he probably felt guilty. I don't

04:13know. Probably not. But I left all my stuff in New York and I never returned. I am out. I don't know

04:21how many tens of thousands of dollars. And I have trust issues up the wazoo. To this day, I have no clue

04:29what's true and what isn't true. I was told for years that people were out to get me and were going to

04:35me. And I don't know if that's still the case. So hopefully not. But I escaped.
