Identity Theft Won't Quit: Lena the Plug Frustrated With Police Response

Someone filed divorce papers in Lena the Plug’s name without her permission—and now she’s discovering that getting cops to take the case seriously might be harder than tracking down the impostor herself.

The influencer appeared on TMZ Live Friday to discuss the fraudulent divorce filing that threw her marriage to Adam22 into the public spotlight just days earlier. What should’ve been a straightforward identity theft case, though, has left her deeply frustrated with law enforcement’s apparent lack of urgency. Police did show up, took a report, and collected evidence—the basics, in other words. But Lena walked away feeling like nobody was treating this with the weight it deserved. That frustration only deepened when one officer floated a theory about the situation that she found dismissive rather than helpful.

Here’s where it gets more complicated: Lena says she actually knows who did this and believes the person is living out of state. That detail matters because it means she may have to pursue this beyond California authorities if she wants real answers. Out-of-state cases create jurisdictional headaches, and police departments often deprioritize them accordingly. It’s a reality that puts the onus back on her to investigate what should be a clear-cut crime.

The whole situation got muddled when Adam22 immediately jumped online and started joking about his newfound freedom after the divorce filing hit the news. That public reaction understandably created skepticism—plenty of people wondered if the whole thing was a stunt. Lena’s had to spend energy clearing that up while also fighting to get authorities invested in what she’s claiming is genuine identity theft. She’s been clear that she and Adam22 are still together, and she’s got a message for whoever filed those papers: this isn’t a prank to her.

What’s revealing here isn’t just that someone committed identity theft—it’s that the system designed to protect victims seems to be moving at a crawl. Lena’s got to be her own private investigator because the official channels aren’t stepping up the way they should.
