The $435 divorce filing that shattered Lena's online world

Lena Nersesian, a popular OnlyFans star and podcast host, was shocked to discover that someone had filed for divorce on her behalf from her husband, Adam Grandmaison (Adam22), without her knowledge or consent.

The impersonator, who claimed to be Lena, filed for divorce on her 35th birthday, Monday, June 1, citing April 15 as the date of separation. The imposter also requested legal and physical custody of her and Adam22's 5-year-old daughter.

Lena recounted the incident in a video to her followers, explaining that the check attached to the filing was for $435 and bore a name she recognized from previous police wellness checks at her home.

An echo of Sydney's 2024 institutional buy-up

The situation escalated when Adam22 informed Lena that media outlets were reporting their divorce.. Despite her earlier assurance that no case existed, the courthouse later told her an active divorce case had been docketed under her name.

Lena was advised by police to file an identity theft report, which she did on May 6. She theorizes that a catfish impersonating her online is behind the scheme, attempting to extract money by spreading false claims of abuse and financial instability.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

Lena vehemently denied any intention to divorce, stating, 'I love my husband. We've been together for 10 years.'

She and Adam22 have been married for three years and share a daughter. The fraudulent filing included inaccurate financial details: the imposter claimed Lena had no job, depended on $3,000 monthly spousal support, and sought to retain half of the couple's real estate holdings worth $1.152 million, along with $50,000 in appliances and $20,000 in jewelry and collectibles.

The filer also proposed splitting $100,000 in savings and half the value of their podcasts, 'No Jumper' and 'Plug Talk.'

What auditors flagged in the May filing

Lena confirmed that none of those figures were correct. The bizarre incident unfolded just as Lena posted a heartfelt birthday message on Instagram,celebrating her 35th year and expressing contentment with her life and marriage.

The contrast between her public happiness and the secret divorce filing has left her feeling violated and determined to clear her name. She has hired an attorney to address the identity theft and dismiss the fraudulent case,hoping to prevent further legal complications.

Broader context: A catfishing scheme unfolds

The case remains under investigation , with authorities tracing the impersonator's identity.. meanwhile, Lena and Adam22 continue to co-host their podcasts and share their lives online, now with an added layer of caution about their personal information.
