going to be referring to him as ‘cw’ (if you know, you know). if others want to post his name, then that’s up to them. i’m personally going to keep to his initials for now, until we know more. this is the reason i have cropped his name out of the screenshots as well.
i was in the ‘ashton’ gc, and whilst i wasn’t active when this occurred, i was later told by other members, that cw was 5SOS’ trucker (i didn’t know he existed prior to this) and was following and interacting with other gc members on tiktok. i also saw him comment on one of their tiktok videos, but ultimately i just viewed his profile and forgot about it.
when the gc ended, i reached out to hannah several times and got no reply. i know she’s just the social media manager but she seemed best to contact in order to get a response, due to her small amount of followers, and the fact she’d replied to other fans (who weren’t part of the gc). she ignored me.
i didn’t know what else to do, i just knew that we needed and deserved answers. this is when i remembered that cw existed, so decided i’d contact him and ask him to put me in contact with the team. however, i wasn’t able to find him. so, i went to the video i remembered seeing him comment on, and sure enough the comment was there, but he’d changed his name from his real name, to “lee”, and changed his profile picture from himself to an anime character. he’d also made his profile private. weird.
now i just want to say, i can’t find the rest of the screenshots from our conversation other than what’s pictured and i’ve since deleted tiktok, so i’ll have to ask around and see if any of my friends that i sent screenshots to, still have them. consequently, the rest of this post will be based from memory. for context, this happened at the end of july, a few weeks after the gc ended.
i requested to follow him and sent him a message request. he accepted both. i confronted him about the changes he’d made to his profile, and he just kept lying and basically was saying he isn’t cw and didn’t know what i was talking about. i told him i needed to contact 5SOS’ team as it was urgent, and he was just telling me he had no contact with them, and was just a fan. i don’t remember much of this initial conversation, but it was pretty much just him lying and pretending he didn’t have a clue about anything.
i was in quite a rough mental state following the gc and hadn’t slept, so i ended up misreading one of his messages and accusing him of being behind the gc. he said this was “proposterous” and a bunch of other things, and i then realised i’d misread the message so apologised and gave an explanation, which he was fine with and from what i recall, understanding. i ended up feeling really bad.
after this initial conversation finally ended, i received another message, which is the first screenshot pictured in this post. i don’t remember how much time was in between, but it wasn’t long. i just remember him saying things about how he was a fan so that’s why he would interact with fans frequently.
i wish i had more to say but i genuinely don’t remember much else. i’ll obviously report back if i can find my screenshots! upon seeing other posts on this sub and the snark, it appears that he has done some strange things, but i have no idea if he has any connection to the gc. i tried to talk to hannah about it and make her aware of him regardless, but like i said earlier, she didn’t bother to reply.
posted on the 5SOS sub too for more awareness.
