I've been outed, don't know what to do with myself
« on: 20 August 2010, 11:34:46 pm »
Oh god. I thought 2 people knew. All my friends, family friends and acquaintances know. I literally want to die, I don't know what to do!
Sorry to write on here, but I have no one to turn to. The proverbial sh*t hit the fan tonight.
I'm just sitting in my car crying, thinking how stupid I have been. My photos are obviously me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Or any reassurance. Don't know who to turn to, especially at this time
Xxx :( :(
I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.

Hi Marilyn

I hope you are ok. Look, at this point there is nothing to be said, other than damage limitation. If people know, ok, they know. There are worse things. You aren't selling drugs to schoolchildren, or defrauding the elderly. Practical advice would be about the routes you can now take-

So
A) My modelling pictures have been stolen, oh my god. Some hooker in London is claiming to be me!
B)I am doing this, these are my reasons, and I will do whatever I wish with my body thank you very much
C)Run around in sackcloth and veil trying to convince everyone you are sorry, will never do it again, etc, etc.

I am so sorry. I hope you are ok sweetie, and remember, if things get really bad you can go travelling for a while, when you come home it will blow over, and the people that remain will be the people you know are true.

Big hug.

I know exactly how you feel hun.   Lucy gave great advice.  I'd go down the model route, some random is using your pics.   Or say its something you thought would be a good idea ages ago, set the site up but never went through with it.  Don't admit anything. 

And Lucys right, you haven't even done nothing wrong!  Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My heart goes out to you, it really does. I just wanted to say you must say whatever you need to in order to get through this, but remember that you have done nothing wrong, bad or to worsen the world - a thing a lot of politicians (amongst many) cant say.

Good luck honey xx

Can you tell us more about how they got to know that?
He came in the morning and woke me up with killer instinct. Wish I could stop this now.

I'd go with option B. Option A sounds like a cover-up. Plus she probably has a phone #. Option C sounds like she's kissing ass. Option B sounds assertive and lets people know she is confident, and if they dont like it....too bad because I'm making money; honey!

if things get really bad you can go travelling for a while

I think this is the cure for every sickness, disease, disorder and depression. Travel. Traveling is like going back into time and changing everything. No one knows you, you get a clean slate...and you are 1,000 miles away. You'd be surprised at what happens when you hop on a plane or take a drive to another city, you magically forget everything thats ever happened before.

What Lucy said, plus most of them probably think what you've been doing is illegal and telling them that it isn't will be one positive thing to do, which ever you decide.

My usual comment is think about who came better out of their sex 'scandal': George 'yeah, so what' Michael or Hugh 'omg, I don't know what came over me, I'm so sorry, I'll never do it again' Grant.
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."

Thank you all so much. Thank god for plagiarism as some girl who uses the same working name as me has a very similar website.
So I have redirected all my websites to her. The issue is my website had a link to Adultwork and Adultwork can't be fabricated.
I am thinking a bit more clearly this morning.
Gossip is a terrible thing I guess :( xxx
I have removed all my pics from AW. But I think some people called up my number (as Joey guessed) and heard my voicemail.

Thats why its extra good to have a pre-paid number citing a different name on your voicemail...but even then, people can hear your voice and tell its you possibly.

Thats one thing I couldn't stand about living in a small town. In a matter of weeks, the entire town knew I was an escort...Im just not going to make that mistake again in the future. Its separate numbers, no face-showing on local ads and hookup sites.

People dont need to know everything...

Phew so I told them all that it wasn't illegal, and it turns out that they all thought previously that it was totally illegal and that I was walking the streets. Think they'd all been reading too many sensationalist newspapers.

Also Lucy what you mentioned is really helpful that I haven't been defrauding the elderly. I mentioned to some of the more sanctimonius, self-righteous and hypocritical responses I received that they take Class A drugs (imported by some poor drugs mule) and sleep with strangers unprotected at university so how dare they judge me.

The sad thing is that it was spread by someone very maliciously and deliberately, which is perhaps more upsetting than being outed. My close friends have been supportive which is nice. The annoying thing is I now need to set up a new working name, website and AW, after paying for all my advertising.

Wanted to know a question about AW- has anyone set up another account (or closed the other) ? Does it come up with that thing beside your name saying Adultwork thinks you have another account? I'd like to keep my old account (with no face pictures) so people can see my feedback if requested, but start a new account with my new working name?? Basically what I don't want is my old AW account to say 'we think this provider has a different alias' and then anyone who saw my old account (a fair few) would be able to find me again.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Good morning, Miss Bond. ;D


So glad you stuck up for yourself-you tell em. I cannot bear sanctimonious people.

As to the AW, then you need to create your account from a different IP address, or it will auto link you. Another option is to create a AW group, and add yourself to the old account under your new name, in which case you will be able to use both (I didn't advise that, by the way ;)), or to change your exsisting nickname and area, or to email AW outlining your problem and see if they will make an allowance in this case.

Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are somehow less of a person because you do this job, you aren't.

If you have two accounts, use a different browser from a different location (or using a different method, such as 3g dongle vs home broadband).

My ex outed me on facebook, thankfully my friends all thought he'd created a fake profile as we'd just split up but it was honestly the most terrifying moment in the two years of escorting that I had previously had, and was defo a bit consideration before I made the choice to return.

Really hope things work out for you and doesn't cause too much damage.  X

Well done for dealing with it so well, glad your friends have been supportive.

With regards to aw it might be worth contacting the help centre to see what they can do for you.

good luck

or to change your exsisting nickname and area


The trouble with this is that if you are on their hotlist you still appear with all your new ID (so I've been told).  I was ok running two profiles for a couple of years (it's complicated) but the minute one of those profiles gets a negative feedback they both become visible together. If you change to seeking services to go off the radar for a few days  (as those seeking services cannot be found by search, although any correspondence already initiated can continue), anyone who has ever emailed you sees the two id's immediately (one of which comes up red).  It's complicated.  Has anyone noticed we can now tell on AW when/if they deleted our emails.  I'm certain that wasn't there before.

Also  Hotspot Shield http://hotspotshield.com/ is free and handy for instant IP address change, but for AW it means you come up in the right hand corner as being in the US and are broadcast as such.  I'm pretty sure that there is a UK alternative around; I've never looked though.  I think there is a program in which you can make up 'profiles' which you can change at the click of your mouse ie changing ip, deleting browser cache and even changing your MAC address (the hardware one, not the one from your ISP).

I'm amazed at how clueless some clients are who constantly browse AW at work and genuinely believe that their Sys Admin are unaware / are not having a good laugh at their antics while they eat their lunch.  They don't even clear their history afterwards.

Oh well best get on with my day.
