Influencer Who Sold Fart Jars Plans To Move Abroad After Breakup With US Senator: ‘I Do Not Feel Safe'
She didn't name the senator, but her comments suggest he is affiliated with the Republican party. Stephanie Matto, a social media influencer and former reality TV star, says she is preparing to leave the US out of fear for her safety. Known for once selling her farts in jars, Matto has now revealed that her decision to move is linked to a breakup with a US senator she was involved with for over a year. In a video shared on Instagram earlier this month, Matto said she no longer feels safe in the country and plans to move to the Czech Republic. 'This is my last video I'm making in response to my relationship with a US senator," Matto said on Instagram. She went on to explain what kind of relationship it was, saying, 'It's an online relationship where he pays me lots of money to watch me eat food." Matto said they had been romantically involved for the past year and a half. She had first gone public about the senator last year and revealed details of their online arrangement. At the time, many accused her of fabricating the story for publicity. But Matto has continued to stand by her claims. Over the months, she dropped hints about his identity and she believes that led people to figure out who he was. 'It kind of sent this man into a tailspin," she continued. According to Matto, the situation grew more serious when threats reportedly extended to her family. She said there were warnings of deportation aimed at her loved ones though she didn't go into further detail. On top of that, she claimed the senator hired a company to try and remove all content from the internet that linked him to her. 'Not to mention he sent me 3 cease and desist letters from his lawyers," she added. Matto said the pressure was especially high during the election period. She admitted she came close to revealing his identity at the time. 'Honestly during the elections, I was so close to leaking his name," she said. But she held back out of fear. 'I was fearing for my life and my family's safety, so I chose to wait until after the election to see which political party would be in power," she said. Now, with the elections over, Matto has decided to leave the country. 'In the next month or so, I'm going to the Czech Republic and seeking some alternative living options because I do not feel safe right now," she said. 'Everybody is wondering if this story is real, I have one thing to tell you – I know that in the online eating food community, I am not the only person who has dealt with this person and I know that some of these people are not afraid to come forward," she concluded. Matto didn't name the senator but her comments suggest he is affiliated with the Republican party. First Published:
