Catfished Stalker Files Fake Divorce for Lena The Plug; LAPD Investigates

Here’s a plot twist no one saw coming: someone’s impersonating Lena The Plug to file for divorce from Adam22, and the LAPD is now digging into what appears to be an elaborate identity theft scheme involving a catfished man who believes he’s actually dating her.

The whole mess started when a divorce petition showed up in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 1, listing Lena’s government name as the plaintiff. Problem is, Lena never filed it. A day later, she went public calling out the fake filing and pointing fingers at a specific individual. According to her account, this man is convinced he’s in a real relationship with her—he’s been catfished. The situation escalated when he apparently called police for wellness checks because he wrongly believed Adam22 was abusing her. It’s the kind of scenario that sounds made up but apparently isn’t.

On May 6, Lena contacted the Los Angeles Police Department to report forgery and identity theft, and the investigation is still active. What makes this particularly frustrating for her is that she had to call the court herself to get the bogus divorce dismissed, only to learn she’d need to hire a lawyer to actually make it go away. As of now, the divorce filing remains on the books.

This isn’t just a weird celebrity mishap—it’s a cautionary tale about obsession meeting delusion in the digital age. Someone’s world was so wrapped up in a fantasy relationship that they took concrete steps to alter Lena’s legal status without her knowledge. The fact that wellness checks were involved suggests this person was genuinely concerned for her wellbeing, which makes the whole thing both sad and deeply unsettling. Lena had to fight through bureaucracy to untangle someone else’s false narrative about her own life. The divorce has yet to be dismissed, meaning this legal ghost still haunts her records while police work to sort out exactly who’s behind it and what charges might apply.
