Content creator trusted a female fan account for months — until one livestream call exposed the stalker she’d blocked months earlier
When it comes to social media, it's a guessing game. No one can tell who is behind an account, even if they have been commenting on your posts and ewith people in your circle for months. TikTok creator Izzy Baron, who posts as @izzyhasnoglizzy, shared her experience in a video posted on Saturday, August 15, 2026, about how she had been interacting with a profile, assuming it was a female fan. To her surprise, one livestream call exposed a truth that prompted her to involve the police.
The high schooler was on a Twitch livestream when one fan account she believed was harmless suggested she call “her brother." As soon as the person answered, Izzy recognized his voice, and she sensed danger. She muted the stream and told her friend she thought it was the same stranger who had been harassing her for the past few months. After playing one of the old voicemails from the stalker, she realized it was the same person. It wasn't long before she figured out that the creep had created the profile, disguised himself as a female fan, and had been monitoring her activity. With over 1,000 followers and regular interactions with her friends' content, too, the youngster thought it was a genuine woman, but it wasn't long before she understood that she was wrong.
Back in January, she had rejected a man named Eli who had called asking to be friends. He kept calling 100 times a day, left disturbing voicemails criticizing her, and even kept tabs on her for a long time. She later changed her number and thought the ordeal had ended, but the creep found yet another way to keep track of her whereabouts and stay in touch with her. Having had enough, she and her friend confronted him. At first, he refused to reveal he was the same person, but when they played back the old mysterious voicemails, he confessed. Izzy said he admitted he had started by making edits of her but had “got carried away,” despite knowing she was a gay minor. The incident was reported to the police.
What Izzy experienced is unfortunately a common concern of online presence. A 2025 systematic review of 80 studies found that repeated unwanted contact is one of the most common tactics, with some perpetrators also pretending to be someone else online or reaching out to the victim’s friends and family. TikTok users were also stunned by her discovery. @natalinaparisi2 said the account had even messaged them, writing, “This world is crazy and has some messed up people. Stay safe, Izzy.” @itskaybxx urged, “Definitely get the laws into it if y'all haven’t already. They can track from cell towers.” @itsmayasworld2 said, "We need to make more people aware about this and get the account deleted. This is so scary."
