Don't fall for impostors on the interwebs!

This is a FAKE page! Note the url differs from the actual url of Chelsea Hoffman: Case to Case on FB. The real url for the ONLY FB page associated with my brand is Facebook.com/ChelseaHoffmanCrime

I don't address these situations very often, because I'd really rather ignore the unpleasant stuff that is said about me online. Being a public figure, someone who has a small degree of celebrity status, I have learned to accept that there are a lot of mean-spirited people online. You see them everywhere: In the comments on Youtube, the comments on media reports, and using 'anonymous' or obviously fake Facebook accounts to comment on various community pages and groups. They're trolls, and they like to incite emotional responses from people whether those responses be angry or despaired. Psychologists have noted proven connections between internet trolls and mental/behavioral disorders such as borderline personality disorder. So truly, the behavior of online trolls is the behavior that certain individuals have expressed for thousands of years. They are sadists.



Being unabashedly outspoken and opinionated, I attract a fair share of 'haters' -- and I admit that I've been less-than-graceful in how I've handled myself when confronted by behaviorally disturbed cyberbullies and trolls. I absolutely own up to some of the terrible things I've said in anger to people who, frankly, deserved what was said to them. And I've apologized for the times that have truly warranted apologies. However, I don't own up to things that I did not say or do.

There are numerous fake images that claim to be screenshots of me saying cruel and heartless things that I would not say and have not said. Some of the images appear to have originated from Facebook and even use my name "Chelsea Hoffman: Case to Case" -- but they are not me! I found an impostor Facebook page that uses my images and my name right down to the letter. This is the source of some of the nasty things that are being said. I suspect that whoever is behind this page is making the comments and then screencapping them so they can share them around the internet to stir up animosity. Of course, that's not at all surprising, but it's still unacceptable.

This is why you can't believe everything you see on the internet. You can't believe every screenshot you see, and you can't take every online rumor seriously. Nutjobs exist out there who like to screw around with other people because their own lives are void of any joy or meaning. These people are better off completely ignored. I realize that by even writing about this, I'm only giving them the petty amount of attention they are seeking, but I have to let my readers and fans know that there is only ONE Chelsea Hoffman: Case to Case Facebook page, and it is NOT the one you see pictured above.

The ONLY Facebook page associated with me or my brand can be found here: 
https://www.facebook.com/chelseahoffmancrime

Note that the url ends in "ChelseaHoffmanCrime" -- This is the only Facebook url used by me. Any other Facebook page that claims to be Chelsea Hoffman: Case to Case is an impostor/troll page that is being used to cook up faked screenshots of conversations that never happened.
