To day 2025 has been a bit of a crazy year to say the least. Seems like this stuff runs in cycles.
Anyway, I found out that a family friend of ours is "dating" a celebrity.
A little background.... she is mid 50's, her brother passed within the last couple years, cancer survivor, her mother passed earlier this year, and in late 2024 she got divorced. I am not quite sure what happened with that, she said that they were having a quarrel and her husband told her it was over, and walked out (literally) in the middle of the night and called somebody to pick him up, and they haven't been together since. Literally the next communication they had was divorce papers. To say she has had a really rough go of it the past year is an understatement. She is anything but rich, however her 80 year old father is remarkably wealthy.
Friday morning, I found out that she is "dating" a B, or maybe C list celebrity. This "celebrity" is kind of what you would call a "has been" from like 1980's television. She said she met him ONCE when she was going to college in Tennessee back in the early 90's. NOW they have "reconnected".
Here is where the story seems to unravel, but she does not see it:
This "celebrity" is married. (however he tells her that they are getting divorced) In fact he was TRICKED into marrying her in the first place. Said something about he thought it was the plot for a TV show or movie, and they accidentally ended up being legally married. They are still making public appearances and stuff, and live in the same home, but they are getting divorced, and he is going to marry our friend.
He has asked our friend NOT to post on any of his social media accounts, because this relationship has to stay a SECRET.
He said do not believe a word that is posted on his own social media because his wife is the one who controls it. Of course do not believe anything you see on his wife's social media because she is a liar.
He has sent her a diamond necklace as a gift already (I am guessing it is something he got from Temu). He also orders pizza for her (and her father) for family dinner nights because he cannot be there in person as he is off doing these celebrity things.
Of course she will NOT answer the questions.... HAVE YOU ACTUALLY SEEN THIS GUY IN PERSON since you "met him once in college? and JUST EXACTLY HOW DID YOU RECONNECT?
*this also explains a situation that happened with her banking that got her account frozen due to "potential fraud" just recently. She did not tell us the whole story at the time, but she was so angry that she got her account frozen.... and advised to just leave the bank because of a mishap with a check. She said that she sold somebody an expensive item, deposited the check..... she SAID the check was good, and then turned around and bought another expensive item. Come to find out the check was not actually good, and her dad had to kick in the funds to straighten her account out.
Come to find out... she sold an item (which she would not name) to somebody in a far off state that was a "friend" of this "celebrity". She then turned around and bought this expensive autographed guitar as a gift for her "new celebrity boyfriend". We wondered why she would buy such a thing.... come to find out, this is why.
She insists this is REAL. We are trying to tell her that this is 100% a scammer. We are looking for a way to have some kind of "intervention" w/o it seeming like an intervention. To me she is a textbook victim here and all of this is textbook scam. Unfortunately, DH actually seemed to believe the story at the beginning. I was like NO this is painfully obvious.
