Hi there, I am one of Matthew the “Functional Heroin Addict”’s ex girlfriends. I’m the one that had to call the police on him when he hit me and one of the ones who he claims is “stalking” him on social media. I really felt the need to speak up about Matthew and I am just now finding out about this forum and other things posted about me online. The actual truth is that Matthew has stalked me and several of his other ex girlfriends relentlessly for the better part of the past year while using his online presence to paint us as “crazy” “unstable/mentally ill” “stalkers”. He truly made us fear for our lives and it affected us terribly. We tried to bring attention to this in the past on his personal YouTube channel but ended up being attacked by his fans instead. He has displayed some seriously scary and concerning behavior that I have personally witnessed and he has never made a sincere effort to stop doing drugs. He lived with me for about a month and his drug use got progressively worse and worse to the point where he was becoming aggressive and I had to ask him to leave and it was at that moment that he hit me. At no point during that time did I ever see him actively try to get clean. I watched him manipulate everyone around him for drug money including the “angel” who has been helping him financially and his followers on social media. I was in touch with the angel and literally cried with her on the phone for hours many nights because she was going bankrupt trying to support him and he wasn’t showing any effort or making any progress. She is the sweetest lady who is still being taken advantage of by Matthew to this day. It’s incredibly hurtful to see. I just wanted to add my personal experience to this forum as I do not want to be silent anymore. He has hurt so many people and done so many horrible things and I think people deserve to know the truth.
Maya, I’m sorry you had to experience all that trauma. Unfortunately this comes with the territory of drug addiction & mental illness. It doesn’t make it fair or right. I’m glad you spoke up, and I’m relieved you are alive today. As a survivor of domestic violence & sexual assault I felt the need to reply to your comment. I hope you can get therapy to cope with everything that has happened to you as that is what has helped me & what is currently helping me. I will thinking of you as you continue to go through the recovery process ❤️🩹
