Married at First Sight Australia 2021‘s Alana Lister has revealed a stalker has been “controlling” her life for “months” after meeting at Coachella in April.
Alana, who wed Jason Engler in the marriage experiment last year, worried fans on October 4 after posting a lengthy statement on Instagram about her experience.
**CONTENT WARNING: The following details stalking and harassment and may be distressing to some readers.
Detailing that the man “became possessive and controlling”, the 31-year-old said he tried to convince her “he could read minds”.
“He knew every single thing about me down to my exact location every second of the day and every word that came out of my mouth or message I sent,” she wrote.
The TV bride added that he had “hacked” her Instagram and Snapchat accounts, as well as her emails, phone microphone and iCloud. She even alleged that he’d gained access to her sister’s puppy cam.
However, things went from bad to worse for Alana after she left the world-famous music event.
“When I left, he blocked all my bank accounts and my phone account too and even blocked my [girlfriend’s] phone,” she said. “He told me he knew so much about me because he was a mind reader!”
Married at First Sight‘s Alana Lister Said Her Stalker Made Several Social Media Accounts to Taunt Her
Alana, a popular OnlyFans creator, said the man created countless accounts on the site to seduce information out of her.
Noting that he would write “huge overwhelming paragraphs”, she detailed how each profile interacted with her.
“One pretending he was psychic who was having visions about me,” she recalled. “One a gay couple who just wanted me to find love, and a random Aussie guy and his ‘friend’ asking me security questions like my first childhood pet’s name or the maiden name of my mother.”
Alana also said the man “made 10 to 15 different Instagram profiles” from which he’d tag her and her friends in “hundreds of memes daily” as a means to show her he knew what she was “doing or doing ‘wrong'”.
He allegedly made several Snapchat accounts “with the same intention”.
“He has controlled almost everything I have said and done for months as I have had no way of understanding how he was having such explicit information about everything I was doing,” she continued.
Alana Lister Said She “Can’t Deal” with the Man’s “Tyranny” Any Longer
Noting that the man would “actively” delete messages from her social media and messaging apps, Alana claimed she “had to face his tyranny” whenever she attempted to reach out to anyone for help as he “always knew” she’d done so.
“This has been happening to me for months, and I can’t deal anymore,” she admitted. “Thanks for listening to anyone that’s felt I’ve been acting weird lately. [sic]”
The Married at First Sight star then confessed that her recount of the last few months “isn’t even a fraction” of what she’s been experiencing.
“[I don’t care] anymore!!! I’ll deal [with] whatever comes from this!!!!!!” she concluded.
