For anyone who missed the first post just check my profile it’s the one that starts with “I matched with my celebrity crush on Raya…” and yes it exploded. Like 1.7 million views exploded. Still trying to process that lol.
So here’s the update everyone’s been asking (and yelling) for:
I said yes.
I agreed to meet him.
We’ve been facetiming pretty regularly for a few weeks now (yes, I know i didn’t mention that in the first post my bad, I was trying to keep it short) and after a lot of back and forth, I decided to take the leap.
He sent me the tickets. He booked a beautiful hotel. Everything looks insanely real. Like this is actually happening.
Im flying out next week.
He’s still being super careful told me again not to tell anyone, no posting, no tagging locations, nothing. His reasons are still the same: PR mess, team drama, privacy, tabloids. And weirdly i believe him. Or maybe i just want to.
But i’d be lying if i said im not scared.
This could be the wildest story of my life or the biggest mistake i’ll ever make.
So yea that’s where im at.
Will keep y’all updated assuming i don’t end up in a suitcase lol.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
Please do tell a trusted friend or family where you’re going and share location. Just in case.
Wow. EVERYONE told you not to go. smfdh
Lmfao. Can’t wait to hear this Updateme! I think you’re Crazy but not my monkey not my circus
Perhaps bring a tracker on your person and tell people so you can be found. Good luck.
If he’s real, he should be flying to you. It would be safer that way.
Be seeing you in the true crime YouTube video they make about you, I suppose
It is karma farming but in the 0.00000001% chance that it is true… do you know how easy it is for a good ai scammer to impersonate a celebrity in voice and Video chats?
Send up a flair: tell someone where you are, room #, restaurant and what time you think you’ll be leaving. Tell that person you will call when you get home and then do it, even if they’re asleep, leave a text.
Girl, have you heard of AI? This sounds so much like human trafficking. Please watch an YouTube video about people who have been trafficked, catfished, listen to their stories. Watch videos of the people using AI to impersonate celebrities. It’s so easy to do it nowadays. If this person cares about you, they could go meet you where you are, or they would at least not tell you to keep it a secret. This person doesn’t seem to care about your safety at all.
At least the documentary on your kidnapping will be entertaining
If this is real, you’re definitely fumbling by posting in Reddit lmao
Yeah this is BS, imo. No celebrity is going to make you fly to them. They would fly to you. Whole story has “nope” written all over it.
This was the stupidest post I’ve read on this app so far
Pretty sure this isn’t real because there’s no reason you wouldn’t have mentioned “I know it’s him bc we face time numerous times” in your original post when so many of the responses were warnings about how do you know it’s really him
Dumbass
You can’t be this naive. This is how people disappear.
Hey so I hope this isn’t a human trafficking story about to unfold and I’m sure it’s not and everything will be fine BUT please register with the consulate where you’re going and have someone trustworthy know the info and have the consulate info if you don’t come back by the return date/time and no one can contact you. Rich celebrities don’t necessarily have the best track records erm Epstein and friends and this could be legit but some simple precautions to maximise safety is at least betting on yourself to have a great time with minimal risk involved.
Choose 1 trusted friend or family member and TELL THEM!!!! For fuck sakes, don’t be stupid and just go out there solo without letting someone know.
Wake up babe plot of the Taken remake just dropped
In normal circumstances I always say at least for the first time the man needs to come to you. It shows how interested he is and it is safer OP. But idk about this sort of situation.
Op please listen to the comments. Don’t go. If you do book a separate hotel he has no idea. Stay there. And meet somewhere public. No private places.
And the whole things don’t tell anyone. Sounds like a trafficker. People who are abusive will want you far away from family and friends. Please please don’t go.
This is such a mistake. If he actually was real and interested, he would be okay with you at least telling a parent or family member as he would be eventually meeting them , if he was real and serious for a relationship. And you’re flying somewhere that’s full of crime and transient people, have less rights, and don’t speak the language. And it’s easy to book a hotel as you don’t pay up front , so they can easily do that and send you a confirmation of booking email and then cancel it. At the very least , you should contact your local police no emergency line and speak to them, let them document your intentions so when you potentially go missing, your family has an answer. And if you don’t go missing, the cops aren’t going to give a crap about this PR excuse. And they honestly will probably be able to explain to you the tactics being used currently by scammers. In my country, AI has gotten good enough to copy old people’s grandkids voices and has been scamming seniors that way. There is an expression, if it’s too good to be true… it probably is.
This sounds insanely risky. You know a number of celebrities have raped, sexually assaulted, or beaten dates. Some have a sense of entitlement because they think everyone is lucky to be around them.
Of course, I am not convinced you are talking to an actual celebrity. It’s entirely possible that some scum is posing as the celebrity to lure you to their location. The celebrity story is to keep you from telling anyone where you are. This will make it easier to kill you without detection. There is no way you should go with the conditions placed on you. No way. Nope. No.
I can’t believe you said yes lmao. JFC. It was nice knowing you, OP.
Have fun being kidnapped!
My friend is a true crime YouTuber and is very excited. He wants to travel with you because he has never actually gotten real footage of the crime itself, he always has to do reenactments.
Aight OP. We tried. Wish you the best I guess.
RIP
Please tell someone and put a tracker/airtag in your handbag/pocket that a friend can track when you meet up with this person.
smile yall, we’re about to be on netflix
Holy shit you are crazy. But here you’re a grown woman you do you
“……no posting……”
Runs to Reddit and posts a 2-part story. I can imagine how hard it is for celebrities to find authentic partners.
The first thing I would do is share my location with one of your closest friends or family member. And if you have to take pictures of where you’re at, I would do that too be safe.
Now this seems made up by OP anyways seated for the☕
Idiot
Why do I low-key feel he is gonna end up being a catfish 😭 Girl, take someone with you 😐😶🌫️
With all due respect if it was real what the hell would he care about any of that? Sounds like a list of excuses to get you alone. Is he not in control of his own life. 🚩 and with even more respect who gives 2 shits what you or he does
Right a note leave it in your apartment with who you are seeing where everything so if anything happens they know who you were with
Why don’t you ask him to come meet with you in person first locally before flying out. I’m sure he can make time lol
Hope you keep your kidneys- girl be safe and set everything you’ve exchanged so far to go public if you disappear. These things rarely end well
him and his friends are going to do so many poops on you
Okay but if you haven’t signed an NDA yet then I’d be questioning the hell out of this. Like you need to share your location and all the details of who this person is and where you’ll be. Don’t be stupid. Him being very secretive makes sense only to a certain extent. A lot of celebs do this with NDAs I can’t believe this person isn’t.
Be careful! Facetime or not you need to share your location until trust has been established.
I have a bad feeling about this..
This is true crime in real time.
I guess have fun in the brothel, dumdum.
if this isn’t bullshit then you need to get on youtube and hit the channel catfished. not the show from mtv. at best what is going to happen is you’re going to fly out and get ghosted or given a reason why they can’t show up
tell close friends and family and keep in contact during the entire trip. too many celebrities connected to human trafficking these days.
but most of all, have fun
I hope this all works as you’d like to but PLEASE…hide an AirTag or something similar and keep it with you. You should also share your location with a trusted peer.
Swallow an AirTag
i’ll bet a quarter she gets there and he can’t actually meet up because he has to do something else that suddenly came up or is sick or some other nonsense.
i’ve seen enough of mtv’s catfish to know how this story ends.
OP is about to become an unwitting drug mule.
Why can’t he come to meet you instead?
What the fuck dude
1000% share your location with at least ONE person. At the end of the day, you gotta watch out for yourself! Some of these celebrities are scary and get away with crazy shit.. look at Diddy….. just be safe, hoping it turns out better than everyone here seems to think.. just stay safe! (Life360 is a good app if you’re not wanting it to show through iMessage) hope this turns out to be a fun lil adventure for you though!
Girl you better swallow an apple tracker.
Please tell someone, you’re entitled to your personal safety & he doesn’t need to know. He doesn’t dictate your life. If you want to post a picture, post a picture. Honestly, fuck him. He probably has a few women on rotation & he’s doing what he can to control his reality. Well guess what? He can’t do that. You are your own full human being. If things get messy that’s on him. Maybe he will think next time he expects women to be unfeeling, unable to think for themselves, robots.
So if she doesn’t share an update, this is made up. Or she’s been trafficked. Or she’s dead.
How could someone be so dumb as to put up a follow up post especially when everyone warned you against meeting this person? OP is either a 5 year old kid or this is karma farming.
The most unlikely part of this is that they matched on Raya. Like, how do you expect me to believe you were accepted? Isn’t the acceptance rate for a Raya profile like 8%? You have to have killer accomplishments, a good social media presence, and referrals from current users. That STILL doesn’t guarantee you get a spot on the app. I don’t think anyone high profile enough to get on Raya would have to post anonymously to Reddit to ask if they should go on a date with a celebrity. But if it were real, Raya I would assume is much more difficult to catfish people on, since everyone has to apply and be approved. So I think traffickers would have a hard time getting accepted. Especially on an app full of celebrities who have a creep radar like nobody’s business.
Ok now I think this is bait.
Yet here you are spilling the beans on Reddit.
Girl this is so dumb
Next update: he couldn’t meet me in public so he sent a driver. I am currently in the trunk so no paparazzi see me arrive. I’ll let you know how it all goes. So excited.
To be blunt, I worry that you’re going to be a victim of human trafficking.
PLEASE tell someone! Give them the number you’ve been texting to, any pictures of him, if he tells you where you’re staying give the friend that address and phone. Honey, this is pretty sketchy so please be super careful!
This is insane. You are almost certainly going to be trafficked.
Ohhhh, the post where you asked for advice and almost all of Reddit went, “Don’t do it”?
Noice.
So this is like definitely guerrilla marketing from Raya…
This chick is an Indian, check her profile and scroll down , she has a post proving that.
So there will be an update, from Mumbai or wherever the hell ot was, from the hotel and whatever else, then it’s gonna turn into a love story with a happy ending, and that will be the end of the scene and credits will be rolling
Hope your donated organs can help someone at least
this is an ad
I REALLY hope it works out, but please ffs tell someone where you are going.
If he was legit, he’d want you to tell someone and be concerned for your safety…. please be careful and updateme! 🙏
You are loving the attention and all to just be another notch on his bedpost.
So what? You are getting banged and thats all
For the love of God share your location with TWO of your close friends AND with two of your family members.
Schedule regular FaceTime check-ins (can be short) with at least 2 people every day you are gone. Tell them to call you if you miss the FaceTime by even a minute.
You need to set precautions in place as best you can.
I hope we get an update and you aren’t being trafficked.
Tell a trusted person at the very least, however, if you are being trafficked, it’s unlikely to help but at least the authorities will have a starting point.
I hope we’re all wrong though, sincerely I do.
girl. ok.
leave a photocopy of your passport and information with a friend, leave a solid dna sample behind, like spit into a sealable bottle, and maybe bring a burner phone you can keep hidden.
good luck.
Can’t wait to watch the Netflix documentary on this 😅
Basicallly he’s married.
It’s Armie Hammer, right? Best of luck, girl.
I just don’t understand why you guys can’t meet somewhere closer to home first and not have your first meeting be multi day trip out of the country?
Having this be the first time you meet in person without testing the waters or meeting on a date where you can get a real feel is super sketch.
You’re not being smart here
You can make anything look “insanely real”
Why not ask them to DM you from an official account? It’s still private and it’ll prove they have access to the official social media.
Hope your kidneys are worth chatting with an AI.
Do a favor to yourself and keep yourself safe by keeping the information safe with someone you trust or in your own apartment with the name, phone number, location, and ticket information. As many information ad possible. Let the person know you have given the information to someone you trust. Do not divulge details of the person.
You don’t get it and the people only warning you about the possibility of a scam don’t get it fully either.
Even if the dude you’re about to meet is real, you could still end up trafficked and/or abused!
You clearly have no idea how much the rich can’t get away with. Even more so in a country with a lot of corruption like India.
You don’t isolate with a stranger, especially if he insists for you to do so. Fuck his excuses, much more notorious celebs still manage to meet people in public.
Is this some sort of astroturf campaign for Raya?
If ever I needed proof this was either all a marketing campaign for Raya, or someone just wanting attention, here it is.
You are beyond dumb if you don’t let someone know where you are going. I seriously hope you make it home in one piece.
Anyone who believes this I have a bridge to sell them lmao
You are literally falling for an AI scam, please have somebody else in your life aware of this with unclouded judgement.
My money is on “biggest mistake” —please, PLEASE be safe out there, OP. Your well-being takes precedence over his “PR concerns.” A real man would care about your safety and comfort, celebrity should NOT trump these qualities in a person that you are dating/sleeping with/etc.
So you’re already rich? Like only rich people can use that app right??
I can’t wait for the “UPDATE: So I have no kidneys but it was totally worth it…”
Just looking for upvotes. The original post just happened to not mention that they were FaceTiming therefore confirming the person identity? BS story. Start to finish. Next we’ll be getting a post asking for wedding venue ideas.
It’s either karma farming or scammer
Christ
Politely, this sounds like a pretty lame attempt at viral marketing for this app, which advertises itself as a “private, membership-based community”.
Let’s review:
Brand new account. 1 month old, makes 7 posts and maybe 100 comments in 2 days, and then the very next post is the mysterious one about matching with their celebrity crush. Pretty uncanny timing that you’d have such big news, a whole new place to tell people about it, and the kind of activity that would boost an algorithm.
Conveniently there is absolute demand of secrecy and, despite the fact that you don’t know this person, you believe everything he says. So of course you can’t provide any confirmation of any claims you’re making…
2b) And yet, despite this person being so incredibly privacy and security conscious, he’s still totally down with posting his details on a social network for dating.
You’re adding details as you go. People were pointing out that it didn’t make any sense to be so trusting so soon, so you only now share the detail that you’ve actually been talking for several weeks. And conveniently you’ve already followed all of the suggestions to video chat etc.
Despite replying to maybe 100 comments on posts that got 1/10000th of the views, you have only provided one single reply to all of the comments on your most successful post by far.
Some of your writing sounds like bad advertising copy. “This could be the wildest story of my life or the biggest mistake i’ll ever make.”
and
6) The details of your story don’t make sense. You claim that you’ve chatted on “his verified instagram and his official handles”, and that you “moved to personal messaging only after I was sure it was really him.” So basically you’re claiming that you matched with him on this exclusive app, then you messaged him on Instagram to confirm, and he replied, but that wasn’t enough so you messaged him on at least two more different socials, but even that wasn’t enough so you chatted for a while on those socials and only then moved to private messaging. And all of this while not mentioning anything about an NDA, which would have come up way before he offered to buy you a plane ticket. And you know what else? If this was serious, you wouldn’t be posting about it on social media. If this (probably fictional) person found out about this, you know very well that they’d cancel your date in a heartbeat.
You should only go if Liam Neeson agrees to chaperone.
Real celebrities don’t use dating apps. It makes absolutely no sense why someone avoiding paparazzi would have a public profile on a dating app.
You are absolutely going to get kidnapped and trafficked. If he was on the up and up, and an actual wealthy celebrity, he would fly to you, to meet you in either a public place, or at, like, your uncle’s house. Instead, you are flying solo to meet him and stay in a hotel room with him. This is, at best, a hookup. Why in the world would you have sex with someone you just met? Armie Hammer is a famous actor, and he had a cannibalism fetish. In the unlikely event that this actually is a famous person, that still doesn’t mean he’s a good person. Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein were famous.
I’m in California. I’ve known celebrities and very wealthy people. Someone nice who is wealthy wines and dines you, and will book you a separate room if relationship is new.
This person is treating you like a hookup, or worse, a trafficking target, and you’ve jumped at it.
If you have to keep secrets- you shouldn’t do it. That’s a policy in life with few exceptions but when it comes to relationships (even being flewed out), it should be a rule. Few people are as reckless with other people’s health and safety as celebrities. It’s a terrible idea.
This sounds like human trafficking…. Please do not go.
It’s very suspicious to me that this person is telling you not to tell anyone, not to post any location stuff etc, but not presenting you with a NDA to sign. That’s a huge red flag that something dodgy is going on.
It also makes no sense that you can’t create your own parallel content of the trip that has nothing to do with them. Why shouldn’t you be able to post a selfie from the airport saying “off to x!” Nobody in their right might would see that and think “oh! She must be off to meet Brad Pitt!” (Or whoever).
Tell him “I sent my mum the name and address of the hotel just to be on the safe side” and see how he reacts to that. Any reaction beyond “smart” is a red flag.
I see a lot of people saying “tell at least one person incase you get trafficked”. Which is good advice.
However, what if this Mystery Celebrity is not a celebrity? What if they’re a doppelganger just posing as that celebrity? Hey, crazier things have happened.
If you’re really going to do this insane thing and ACTUALLY NOT TELL ANYONE, at least leave a letter in your home with all the details so someone knows where to start looking for you. I’m really hoping you’ll chicken out and tell at least one person before you go. Please keep us updated…
i do honestly think this reads more like fanfiction than the truth.
Pro tip. Take an airtag that you keep on your person. Tell one person who can locate it as well. Even if your phone is broken, it’s a way to track you no one else would think of.
No real celebrity would do this- they don’t trust people they don’t know and especially not fans.
But no one would go off without a trace unless they thought it was a real celebrity- so that’s why these scam are always “famous person who just wants a regular, down-to-earth person.”
This is some lovesick teenager fanfic right here, just attention seeking
If he wanted to make it work, he would come to you. This is crazy.
> assuming I don’t end up in a suitcase lol
This may be the best use of “lol” ever recorded
Why would a PR team and tabloids matter when it’s a first time meeting??? I get that they can inflate anything, but why would it reallyy be such an issue? I don’t know, but I just read your first post and yeah girl…your life is not worth this risk. Hell, I’ve learned most first times meeting any man aren’t even worth it. If we don’t get an update Im going to assume the worst 😭
Do you wanna get trafficked? This is how you get trafficked
