My ex, who left me for another girl four years ago, recently posted a tik tok video rating his exes. Which is so petty and immature imo. One of the pictures he used of me isn’t sexual but it’s definitely not something I’d want circulating now, especially as a teacher. It’s not conservative, I’ve never posted it anywhere, it was a picture just for him. So this feels like a low blow.
He’s a gamer with a decent following on tik tok and unfortunately, some of my students follow him. So yes, my students have now seen that video and the pictures of me in it. I’m beyond embarrassed. I messaged him and asked him to take it down on Thursday. He read it but didn’t reply and the video is still up.
He lives in another country now so I’m not even sure what my options are legally or professionally. This is just so humiliating and I don’t know what to do next. I don’t want this to affect my job or reputation. I did tell my kids that thats not me because I had shorter hair in it. They kinda bought it but I feel violated and powerless.
What can I do?
My students saw old photos of me posted by my ex on TikTok. What should I do?

Sue him
Find the video. Tap the three dots. Report it. Submit as privacy violation.
In all honesty, I don’t think you should have lied to your kids.
It depends on the country he knows he’s running the risk of being sued, in mine you can’t go out filming others on the street and just post… Especially minors! Did you try to report the video? You have the proof that it’s your images and the person hasn’t heard it and it’s affecting your mental health, maybe if you go to the post and follow the social network protocol and prove that it’s you with a video linked in a email to this social app, , the platform may have to delete… Otherwise, you can file a lawsuit against the platform.
After all, as you said, this is affecting your health and your personal life.
