Ask Amy: ‘Stella’s’ groove brings out the family creep
Dear Amy: I’m asking for advice for my younger sister, “Stella.”
Like a lot of people right now, Stella is using [a social media account delivering “X-rated entertainment”] to make extra income.
Our older cousin “Candace” is married to “Ted.” They have three kids. Ted is about 17 years older than Stella.
Stella found out that Ted has subscribed to her account. She learned this because he sent her a bunch of messages saying he is always checking her out at family functions. He called her his “dirty little secret.”
We are both very disturbed by his behavior and aren’t sure what she should do next.
Should Stella tell Candace? Stella told our mom in hopes that she would have some advice and to potentially ward off any uncomfortable future family gatherings.
Our mom thinks it’s possible that Candace will take Ted’s side and it could make things worse.
Stella and I both agreed that we would want to know if our significant other was doing this.
I encouraged Stella to take screenshots of his messages in case she needs any proof in the future (which she did).
Stella blocked his account and let her friends on the website know so they can block him, too. One friend did notice that he was paying for some of her content, but only the content that included Stella.
