Fake Divorce Filing? Lena the Plug Says Marriage to Adam22 Is Better Than Ever

When fake divorce papers hit the internet on Wednesday, June 3, the internet did what it does best: assumed the worst. But Lena the Plug had a different story to tell—and it involves catfish, identity theft, and a Taylor Swift music video made on her birthday.

The OnlyFans star, 35, clarified to Us Weekly that someone impersonating her filed fraudulent divorce documents against her husband, Adam22, 42, without her knowledge or consent. The phony filing happened on Monday, June 1—Lena’s birthday—which she describes as one of the best days she’s had in recent memory. That’s because Adam had surprised her with something she’d jokingly asked for: a homemade Taylor Swift music video. According to Lena, it was a full production complete with a viewing party. Not exactly the vibe of a couple heading toward divorce court.

Here’s where it gets wild. Lena believes someone is being catfished by a third party who’s impersonating her online, using her photos and personal details to convince them she needs help escaping an abusive marriage. The imposter has allegedly sent checks to cover court fees—ones that Lena says have the individual’s actual name on them. It’s a layered scam designed to extract money from someone with good intentions but very bad judgment about who they’re actually talking to.

This isn’t the first time Lena has dealt with this nonsense. She’s had to file a police report for identity theft and is working with a lawyer to get the fraudulent divorce filing dismissed. She’s also quick to point out that Adam is a great dad to their 5-year-old daughter and that she would never try to separate them. In the fake documents, the imposter had requested joint custody—adding insult to injury.

What’s particularly striking is Lena’s compassion for the person being catfished. She’s not angry at them; she feels for them. She knows they probably think they’re doing the right thing, helping a woman in distress. But that same internet that made the divorce story believable has created the perfect environment for con artists to thrive. With AI on the horizon, she warns, this problem is only going to get worse. For now, she’s just trying to set the record straight: her marriage is wonderful, she’s never met the person sending money, and fake accounts using her likeness are everywhere.

The real lesson here might be the oldest one in the book: verify before you help, and always be skeptical of people you’ve never met in person.
