Ah, the sensation of the internet! "Lillee Jean Met Gala", or oh wait, my favorite "Lillee Jean Teen Vogue". Can we just talk about this intentional propaganda?

The Lillee Jean Incident

As many avid readers of my advocacy website know, I've been through the ringer since I was a child with being stalked.

This isn't about cyberbullying. This is downright relentless stalking, where PR companies have come aboard with smaller corporations to PROFIT off the mass hysteria, and rumors being spread to intentionally harm my brand and me as a person.

They profit off YouTube, Twitch, and Onion TOR with the lies that intrigue the already mentally plagued...and let's face it, to leave a hate comment for $10.00 is pretty nice too, they feel. Game card here, pay for my college there - you're just a dollar bill.

Now, onto me. The short story is a cult formed to "take me down" when I was 15 years old. I am now 24 years old.

The cult, which self-calls themselves "the Lillee Jean Clone Cult," started petit.

They evolved from 24/7 fake accounts rotating around the clock with defaming statements splattered across the web, with literal PR campaigns to "rip me from the face of the Earth", into criminal deepfake explicit photos of my body being distributed now in 2025.

It's turned into betting occurring on the dark web, threats to my life, stalking occurring to my entire family at all times, and packages being sent to my home. The cult has a symbol, an egg. My family has been sent an egg timer with tape to let my family know "the time is up".

So that escalated quickly, I know.

What I've done about it now in 2025 is work with law enforcement, where we have a break in this case.

Not only have I filed police reports with the NYPD on the criminal traceable deepfake explicit photos (these photos were spread on YouTubers' Discord servers, X accounts created to impersonate me WITH those photos, and Onion TOR), where subpoenas have been put in, but I have active reports with the District Attorneys office for impersonation (doctors appointments were made in my name locally, auto loans inquired via telephone as Lillee Jean Trueman were had, my agent was contacted as Lillee Jean Trueman with a phony email), and even have the FBI involved for the internationals who've threatened my very saftey and also conducted criminal identity theft.

It gets better.

The cult has already had a member indicted for nefarious propaganda. This is when the "influencer" thing expanded, because many do not stay truthful, and somehow a smattering of me being Jewish was added in, because in some of their words, Jewish people "steal". So, it's an intentional subliminal marketing campaign. For the record, I never was an influencer or beauty guru. I modeled for companies, and in many cases, did not profit. I was trying to get noticed, and was very clear due to the FTC guidelines.

These are the very people curdling children’s brains online, bribing them with money to do their bidding...those with records. NOICE!

Lillee Jean Met Gala

This title messes with me, because how funny would it be in a few years to attend the MET and contribute to the arts in such a way? Do you know how many of my friends actually did a mock-up the way my fan edited me on the MET carpet and hashtagged MetGala2019? Many. That's why it's comical that this is an argument point for these PR companies to play on the emotions of those not educated on realities, for why my family is "terrible" and should be "removed" from Earth. A girl in a dress, who never said she attended such an event, is being treated like a 1st degree crime occurred, oh my.

Each member of the Lillee Jean Clone Cult has skeletons that the NYPD has found. Some with criminal, serious records. Anyhow, to understand this, you have to understand these aren't PEOPLE creating rumors...these are corporations who hired SEO experts, PAWNS, and are PR companies.

So, that YouTuber that seems just like a "YouTuber"...yeah, save the sop-story, that's a corporation looking to make a buck. That person who tweeted about something that nobody remembers from ages ago, yeah, they probably were paid to start the buzz train again. If they look average enough, it's subliminal enough. Unfortunately, that's what happened to me. People nobody would suspect, creating mass-hysteria online intentionally to yield mass-profit for the company they work for. Maybe a Telegram goes out, they see it, take the job, and go for it.

It's vital to mention, I had a video mentioning looks I liked, and didn't as much about the Met Gala 2019 on YouTube, publicly, where people could see me once more, never saying I attended.

Cutting to the chase, the fact is, I did not attend the Met Gala in 2019, and I never said I attended the Met Gala in 2019. In over 200+ videos, over 8 years of pain, a fan-edit of my face with a champagne dress, on-top of Katy Perry has been circulated on the web, tarnishing my brand, across so many countries (no joke, I'm international, and made not a dime on this phony PR story), with underesearched companies selling this phony story with my face. These PR Companies tried to model a then 18-year-old after stories of people actually defrauding...they created a lie for money.

Who wouldn't want to see the pretty girl FAIL?

Now, here is the catch. In each YouTube, or TikTok video, they show my mom reposting the fan edit, where she tags firework, a Katy Perry song....the problem is viewers are 50% botted to make it look like a massive story, and 50% people droning, following the crowd, to be "popular". They join that company's Discord server, and feel like they have finally sweet, sweet, camaraderie. Now, the little drones will buy merchandising and spread the evil empire gossip, which spreads the video organically at some point. We go from video, to the press.

If they listen to a nasally, not by far a VO quality actor voice, see a guy who looks like them, or see a girl who looks like they could be their mom, these play on the SENSES of humans. Relatability, and unwitting victims of public relations machines helping content farms.

The significance is that these media corporations have taken my face, my name, and turned it next to negative words such as "Fraud, Fake, Phony, Liar", and then spawned into NEW rumors for profit. Now we have what they intentionally did to my family and I, the very things of stalking and harassment next to my face.

These very articulated, intentional rumors, have led to Adult Protective Services being called to my home, and I've been swatted thrice. Why do these people know where I live, down to the precinct? If you watch Project: Bullyish, my award-winning documentary on stalking, you'll even see them gloating about calling in the fake tips.

Lillee Jean Teen Vogue

So, see, Lillee Jean can't be on the cover of a magazine; her mother must have paid for it. Not only is this defamation and a lie, it has caused mass-hysteria that to this day, February 2025, encouraged those very deepfakes, intentional threats to my life, and stalking on such an insane level, you'd think I was mega famous. I'm just an actress trying to make it.

I never said I was on the cover of Teen Vogue. A fan edited me on the cover, which, obviously, has a photograph of me juxtaposed on top of a flower. So...Lillee Jean, unlike any other celebrity (I was growing a nice following at the time, since I'd been on the web since I was 9 with my stop-motion blog), can't share that out? Of course not. It's high school-level gossip with real-world consequences, of my family's life in danger each time.

When these rumors began, that's actually when the stalking increased with personal family documents being plastered on the dark web, to begin. They even put up the inside of my home (shown in the Project Bullyish film). They intentionally chose me to be a villain. Why? I'm pretty and make money for them...but it's also a hit job.

The interesting part is my family has no contact with these criminals...it's all in their heads.

Below you will see from an antisemitic website, note the Star of David next to my mom's name, a defaming statement that fuels these lies. So any cover I'm on, legitimately, must be paid for, because of a fanedit...of Teen Vogue...and heaven forbid Lillee Jean has fans.

Okay, I do write with satire, I know, but it's hard to talk about any other way.

They work in campaigns every season to hurt me, and my family. It happens to celebs, but I'm not at that level, so it's highly effective at intentionally damaging my brand with their "fake" stories. Due to this, there is an "anything on Lillee Jean can be fake attitude", and it's psycho. Hurting me, and my family, for those not hired, has empowered them in a classic bullying case.

It's Paid For Campaigns

The police have found all of these incidents relate to a personal, paid-for hit job, and my family concurs.

Do you know, to this day, in February 2025, they still are running these campaigns slapping more slogans against my name, still bruising my face in photos, still creating lies that have caused actual harm?

May 2024 to the Winter of 2025 was the worst time in my entire life. I had a feeling it was coming, because of the searches, which by the way included kidnapping me.

The lie began again that terrible, beautiful, sunny morning, that I'm a terrible person, I'm stalking and harassing...these very criminals with the deepfake explicit photos destroying my body, the phone calls as Lillee Jean Trueman, the packages to my home of their cult symbol, the swattings. I mean, go figure.

The coordinated attack of May 2024 where several people published videos in unison to "rid me of the Earth," was tragic, and has mentally left a scar that shall never heal, because the waterboarding of the same fake story, leaving me helpless has been rinsed, and repeated SO MANY TIMES, OVER SO MANY YEARS.

Each time, I see financial loss, I lose opportunities, and my safety is put in harm's way.

The Future of Project Bullyish

With Project Bullyish, I want to continue discussing these tropes of stalking and push for more change.

I want to live my life, write my monologues, direct my films, be on TV, and be distanced from these criminals even further.

It can be a beautiful place, but devious with seedy companies seeking quick profit.

You might be surprised at who is really a content farm (a media corporation that produces mass media for profit). It might be your favorite journalist or newspaper.
