Safety at risk

My friend is 43 years old. For years she has been trying to get into modelling. I have told her many times to go to a reputable modelling agency but she keeps meeting old men online and goes alone to their home for a photo shoot. Some of these men persuade her to wear just underwear and have propositioned her. She claims she just posed in underwear only. She has told me this herself.

I have said it is unsafe as you do not know who these men are. Some of them pay her £10 so they have these photos and they are not modelling agents but they tell her they can get her into modelling.

She has been with her boyfriend for 2 years. He supported her even though he disagreed and was worried about her safety with these random men. We both told her together at one point.

Her boyfriend told me in front of her at the end of last year that she gets filthy messages off men. I asked how does he know this and she said he looks through her phone. On Facebook she has over 1000 friends and most she does not know. A lot of men comment on her photos and one them saying she is hot, beautiful, they want to sleep with her etc. Her boyfriend sees all of this as it is on her Facebook profile for all of her friends to see.

Last night her boyfriend messaged me to tell me he ended the relationship. He said he was fed up of the lies and that she has been doing porn and sexual acts. He said he has told me and her sister because he is worried for her safety. I asked why did her put up with this and he said he loves her.

The thing is I feel the ex might be telling the truth based on the things that have happened before. He said she needs her friends but I don't want to seem interfering but if she got attacked or worse people would say why did I not stop her.

Surely at 43 she must know what she is doing. This seems like really odd behaviour. Has she always done stuff like this or is it new and unusual for her?

@Annonymousse22 She knows right and wrong but at times is very naive. I don't know why she is trying to get into modelling, that ship has sailed. Her boyfriend was good to her and supported her. He had no problem with her seeing her friends as her ex would not let her see her friends. She hasn't even told me they split but I have seen they have both put 'single' Facebook acebook.
