To be concerned by Stephen Hilton..!?

[PumpkinAndSpicey]

Anyone else follow him and Laura clery on Facebook/tiktok/insta etc? From what I knew they had seperated but remained civil. The past few months he’s been posting constant unhinged status updates. I suffer mental health issues myself and have posted some very unhinged things on socials before so he had my sympathy.
but yesterday he clearly hacked Laura’s account on Facebook, posted on it as her, edited loads of posts and delete her account which is where she earns her living from.
he uses “Brian” (chat GPT) to confirm his beliefs he’s some sort of messiah and it’s all very worrying.
anyone else following it? None of my friends and family are so just want a chat about it!

Who are these people??

I have no idea who these people are. Does that mean I'm old? 😭

Who?

Laura is an influencer of sorts, her and Stephen met as recovering addicts and started posting comical videos on social and gained a large following. She has a couple of books titled “idiot”. Stephen is a British composer, he worked on music for titanic I believe

Other people's lives, leave them to it OP

Never heard of him. I say that as a British person.

No idea who they are, nor do I care. They sound drama queens. Leave them to it and don't feed the attention seeking.

He's unhinged, I worry about the kids and her.

I had no idea who these two were until the Facebook posts randomly started popping up on my feed. The whole situation is mad and I just feel really sorry for the kids that they're in the middle of it all and that it's being plastered all over social media.

Not sure of the point of people posting 'never heard of them'. OP is asking for people who have heard of them to engage with, she already knows that they are not well known in the UK. I have heard of them. I have followed Laura for a long time, from the early days when she fist met Stephen and the posts were really great, funny, uplifting etc. The separation has been weird , bouncing from being OK and celebrating co parenting to not, then back to it. They both sound a little chaotic. I am also a bit wary of people posting their children (both Laura and Stephen) in such a public way, airing all their issues etc. The children will grow up and it will be all there for them to see, they are not at an age they can consent. So its made me uneasy for a while, but maybe I am just old and old fashioned!. Stephen has been becoming gradually unhinged since Covid, being a very vocal anti vaxer but the last few weeks even worse and I do think he is someone who could do something bad. It's very sad.

I've just had a look at her Instagram, isn't she a comedian? It doesn't look like she mentioned her ex until she was forced to when he hacked her account. He sounds unhappy that she has moved on and is abusive. I hope she is given the support needed to keep her and her DC safe.

I've been following from a distance, he's in the midst of active addiction and has spiralled in an alarming way since Laura stopped unsupervised access to the kids.

His posts have become increasingly unhinged, he bad mouths Laura whilst simultaneously refusing to go to rehab and refusing contact unless it's unsupervised. I seem to recall the final straw for removal of access to the kids was him basically coming and taking them from her home and driving under the influence with them unrestrained in his brand new open top car and he filmed the lot.

The more Laura has pulled away and not given him oxygen and hasn't reacted to his post of the breach of restraining order the more he's escalated in true abuser fashion.

This latest move of hacking her accounts and removing all of her content and income sources was because she dared to post a photo of her and her boyfriend at a wedding.

The more Laura has pulled away and not given him oxygen

You are joking? She has documented, publicised and monetized a HUGE portion of their disagreements, divorce and his relapse. All in glorious detail for the future viewing pleasure of their kids.

She's nearly as bad as him. Worse if you consider that at least he has the 'excuse' of a relapse, she's sober with everything she's posted.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if she 'hacked' and then deleted her own stuff as part of the next publicity campaign. Waste of space, both of them. opefully they hack and delete each others accounts into total oblivion which would be the best thing they could actually do for their kids.

He's absolutely lost the plot in a really scary way. He actually seems like he could do something really bad to her or the kids.

I am too. I’m scared for Laura and the kids. I don’t think this is going to end well.

This sort of thing has become part of our entertainment landscape. It’s very strange and says a lot about humans- none of it good.

In the past, it was soap operas that people followed avidly and gossiped about. They were fictional but people got very invested anyway, and discussed it all with their friends. We also had gossip mags spilling the beans on what celebrities and royals were up to. Then came ‘real life’ stories in Take a Break et al where readers could read about other people’s messy, shocking real lives. Then Big Brother came on the scene (followed by dozens of other similar shows) where the general public could watch in real time humans being human in all their dysfunctional weirdness.

And now we’re at the point where anyone can put their life, relationships and mental health online for others to gawp at and gossip about. I hate it and don’t engage with it. We’re a rotten species 😔

Live by the sword die by the sword. Or social media. It’s sad for them and their children. More (much more) of this sort of thing will happen as people happily monetise their lives on Social media.

I unfollowed them a long time ago but he came up on my feed about 6 months ago and keeps appearing now. Im shocked of his behaviour. It’s really horrible to watch someone fall apart so openly and I often watch/look on in disbelief. I can’t believe it’s allowed to happen to be honest. I can’t relate as my dad acts very much like him during a relapse so it’s interesting to see his perspective.

I can’t comment on her as I don’t see much of her but none of it seems to be related to him apart from a few things that seem sensible and her video recently saying she has lost all her work.

I think it's only a matter of time until he physically harms her.. its scary watching it all unfold!

He's definitely coming across as the aggressor in all this. She was fairly balanced (In public at least) and trying to talk about other things where he is saying some awful things about her and talking about how AI and Ye are the only people speaking the truth and desperately flogging his Only fans. It's very uncomfortable to see so I've stopped following him for now. I just hope she gets her platforms back, might not be a job I'd want but it is hers and it sucks how hard he is trying to destroy that.

I think his psychosis fed into by his chat gpt partner 'Brian' is the most concerning thing about this whole thing ... Chat gpt induced psychosis is GP in going to become a new diagnosis - in sure if it. Scary.

Ironically wishing id used chat gpt to spell check my post.

The point is, I guess, that yes, the OP is unreasonable worrying about someone they don’t know and who loads of people aren’t even aware of.

I have no time for either of them. They both are using their children and their very public breakup to win points against each other, to try to get people inside, and to make money.

It's a massive shitshow, and they are both responsible.

But I have to agree that his behaviour is very concerning.

And yes, before anyone says it, I have blocked their accounts so thankfully no longer see any of it.

Oh gosh. I don't follow them but they have popped up occasionally so I'm vaguely aware of who they are. Generally a really uncomfortable amount of oversharing but his behaviour and descent into drug addiction lately is really sad to see. This sounds utterly unhinged. Feel sorry for those kids to have had all this documented, and for her as even though I think she shares too much personal stuff this is really worrying amd must be incredibly stressful. I hope they can all get the help they need.
