Hey guys, so its time I speak up and truly explain to you properly whats been going on, as its not fair on you all. I do believe the situation is well and truly over this time , which is for the best so the only way is up going forward. It all started on my birthday, my 'best friend' Aurora decided to ruin it, making it all about her and started lying, lying about really silly stuff that didn't need to be lied about - for example claiming she had no money when I forgot my purse and couldn't buy me a £1.97 maccies coffe ON MY BIRTHDAY but then got to my party and brought a £70 jacket off one of the guys there. ALSO had £400 in her purse that she had earnt the day before because we did some duo bookings. Anyway not the point, I let it go as it was minor. After that she made a nasty comment, said party girls were gross and she wouldn't 'lower herself' to it... baring in mind she's done a mini party / 4 sum with me and regularly done private sessions with guys. I am sorry but a whore is a whore! No ones vagina is better than anyone else's - you sell yourself just the same as party girls do! She expected me to stick up for her against the outrage from my party girls - i refused and I stood by my girls. Since that moment things were tense as it was horrible knowing your 'best friend' had said these things about you, your girls and what you do. So also bare in she doesn't be honest with her family, personal life friends or her boyfriend that she has been working / private sessions (which is fine, not everyone wants to be open as a sex work - absolutely no issue). However to save her own ass, when people started asking questions she decided that instead of being honest she would tell them that I am trying to f00rce her into it & borderline p!mp her out against her will! To allow people who we are both friends with the think this of me was devastating, but still I remained a good friend and allowed it as I never would out her but deep down it was killing me as I have been in this industry for 10 years, built up respect and reputation so this sort out slander was soul destroying. Trying to move on and be ok the stress was building up, it was constantly at the back of my mind - my best friend thinks I'm gross, she doesn't respect my girls, she's allowing people to think these things of me - I couldn't take it and as you've seen my mental health as been declining for weeks. Throw in the fact the past 2 parties I have hosted she has not turned up last minute to help co host, leaving me literally pulling my hair out with stress, trying to run an event that needs 2-3 people alone. I was about at my limit. I still tried to remain a good friend, so when she is constantly messaging me telling her boyfriend is not being nice to her and she wants to end it I flip and tell him myself to treat her better - yano acting like a best friend should by protecting her. This backfired and I have received the nastiest treatment you could imagine. 2 days ago she hired a 'dodgy person' to book me as a fake client to come and 'rough me up' ... luckily I am unhurt as this person knew me and told me her plan. She is massively manipulating and has managed to turn mutual friends in the cosplay community against me (who do not even know HALF this story) allowed her boyfriend to send me an abusive message and has broken my heart in so many ways as I truly loved her. Ive also had to threaten to take her to court over £6k she has lost me. I loved her so much I have sat crying for 2 days, borderline begging her to stop all this and talk and sort it out, but all she wants to do is tell me what a nasty person I am. I am weak and even though I know now I am not in the wrong I was the one sat apologising and asking for this all to just move on, but she loves the power and control she has over me. Now I am being brave, I am speaking out. The final straw was me asking if I could remove myself from our joint Tiktok as it was hurting me too much seeing our happy memories, her reply: "well dont look at it then but I am not removing it" , cold and heartless. So now I done, walking away from this toxicity and repairing my mental health. Thank you for listening - Mandy xx
