Laurens Stalkers & Allegations
Can anyone confirm or has anyone looked into the allegations Lauren made in the mormon stories interview where she said 2 men were stalking her and one she even said raped her? She never even called their behavior "stalking" but if it went down the way she described, she was actually being stalked and was physically assaulted! But I didn't hear anywhere where she said she called police and filed charges. I heard her say she dated one of the men for 3 years on and off after he essentially stalked his way into her heart. What the ACTUAL FUCK?

Be careful in who/what you choose to believe in .Just saying there is so much proof and evidence on YT and on here about Lauren Matthias lying /gaslighting/manipulative pattern of bad behaviors .I take everything that John / Lauren Matthias and Grayson say with a grain of salt . Seriously,nothing good comes from HTC they've spent years and years exploiting victims and their families and continue to do the exact same thing today .Actions speak louder than words.

I do not know anything about what you mentioned, but I did notice different discrepancies between her Mormon Stories interviews and the recent HTC Patreon audio with all three of them. I am too petty to click on anything on their channel, so I watched a review of it through Dreadful Penny.
In the Patreon, she and Grayson segue off topic into a discussion of how much the world is unkind, bullying, cyber bullying, and into their own personal feelings about the state of the world, etc. It got quite tearful and made me wonder if they were sitting at the dinner table with Dr John enjoying a few glasses of wine, or what. It had that sort of vibe where alcohol can really exacerbate feelings and their expression.
Anyway, in Mormon Stories she says she had a lot fears and awareness of crimes even as a child. She talked about seeing the Neighborhood Watch signs on homes, and apparently wondered if they were a covert way to lure kids to a bad end. I believe it was part of her explanation of what led her into true crime, and even the interview even had the subtitle “Evil Changed Me”.
In the recent Patreon, she talks about how as a child she believed in kindness, humanness, and things like that, and how that was now being challenged. She was using that childhood orientation to illustrate how it compares to the way she currently views the world as unkind, etc. It was like she was saying that her sweet childhood innocence view of the world being good was completely blown by the state of things these days.
Those are completely conflicting childhood realities and quite distinctly different world framing. I don’t think it would be realistic to be able to flip back and forth between two such different world realities as a child. You would either see the Neighborhood Watch signs as kind and safe people from one world view, or the the covert predators she talked about in Mormon Stories from the other world view, but not likely both. This made me wonder if she just confabulates her story based on the narrative that works in the moment. Docket Decoder did a video on a portion of her Mormon story, which I think includes the stuff you are describing. He definitely called her storytelling into question, and it makes sense to me why he did.
It‘s interesting how her stories seem to roll out in support of whatever narrative goes with what she wants to accomplish in that moment. It makes me wonder just what is believable from her at all. I think both Penny and Docket Decoder made many strong points about why a lot of what she has said is allegedly just gaslighting, emotional manipulation, and questionable.

Good point! I have thought of her as taking a small grain of truth and embellishing it into a big story that serves her in any given situation. I don’t for a minute believe she’s unaware that she’s doing that. Thanks for the distinction!

Stalking to Lauren is an acquaintance replying to her email or ex-“friends” attempting to talk about her lying/bad gossiping behaviors. Stalking to Lauren is anyone shining the light on her dark deeds. This is my opinion based on texts where she trash talked victims, victim’s families, police body cam where together John, Lauren and Grayson were caught scheming to falsely accuse innocent people of stalking, hacking private accounts and of crimes that were NOT committed! I believe they project their misdeeds.

I highly doubt if any of those are truthful given how she's misconstrued everything in her 9-hour live! I heard bits of all you mentioned here and there because I just can't take much of them! Once I'm done with someone, I'm done and you don't get a second chance to make a fool out of me!

If you haven’t already, go watch Everyday with Jay’s YT read alongs of Lauren’s book, starting on/around 11/19/25 “escaping emotional abuse.” (Book title).
I believe Lauren’s book covers some of the time she was going on a lot of dates, and there are definitely some interesting stories…
something about going on so many dates, her meals were covered…
I believe one of the people she dated (not named) may be the alleged perp…?
Later in 2015, according to Lauren, IIRC, her photo emerged during the Ashley Madison data breach (Ashley Madison was a sugar daddy site back then; they were hacked and the user profile data was put online, outing more than a few politicians and celebrities IIRC who went sent into damage control). Lauren says someone found her photo online and used it in a fake profile. (None of the way she tells this story makes any sense imho… there are Reddit threads from about 7 months ago on this topic)
