Pageant friends~
I feel compelled to inform anyone associated in pageantry about some recent events that have affected me and that could potentially affect anyone affiliated with pageants.
These are facts and can be supported with documentation if need be…
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a gentleman notifying me of an imposter Myspace profile that was using all of my photos as their own to chat with men and at one point even attempted to lure these men to the imposter’s place of employment…a local Austin gym. With enough information from this man and with the help of the Austin Police Department, we were able to determine who the owner of the cell phone that text messages were coming from that the gentleman was receiving.
When the police informed me of the individual, I was shocked. The person who had this fake Myspace profile up was someone who I knew…knew very well. It was someone who was a friend on my actual Myspace page, it was someone who I had given access to my Zac Grimaldo webpage to help me pick out a photo for Miss Texas (some of the photos on the fake profile were proofs from Zac’s site that I had never put on any web based application…they were only on his site and only family members and this other individual had access to them), this person was someone who helps a lot of girls in the Austin area in regards to preparation for Miss Texas, this person is someone who betrayed my trust and used my personal photos as their own.
Several years ago, this happened to Mandy Jeffreys (former Miss Texas Teen USA, former Miss Austin USA, and MC at this year’s Miss Texas USA pageant) and not having enough proof she was unable to go to the local authorities. We have information that leads us to believe that the person who did this to her is the same person that did this to me.
While there is nothing illegal about what this person did, there is a fundamental problem with this in regards to the competition we all love. There is a fine line between a fan and a fanatic and I feel this person crossed it back in 2006 when this profile was first put in place.
The moderators of this board have generously given me permission to inform everyone, but unfortunately, I can not release the legal name of the individual…I can tell you his handle and it is none other than Dude in Texas. Now maybe he has an explanation for all this, but unfortunately for everyone involved, the police did not feel his explanations were adequate. If anything, they felt so strongly about my case that they urged me to move forward with a civil suit and assured me they would continue to keep their eyes on Dude In Texas. The point in all of this is not to bash him as a person, but to instead bring awareness of what some people are capable of… even those that you may consider to be close to you. Please be careful as not everyone has your best interest at hand.
And if you have any questions regarding this, don’t hesitate to contact me directly.
Best~
Allison Seale, Miss Austin USA 2007
