Lena the Plug is setting the record straight on her marriage to Adam22 after an imposter attempted to file for divorce on her behalf.
“We’re not getting divorced, we’re in a wonderful place,” the OnlyFans star, 35, exclusively tells Us Weekly one day after denying that it was all a “publicity stunt” on Thursday, June 4.
News broke on Wednesday, June 3, that Lena (real name: Lena Nersesian) had seemingly filed for divorce from Adam, 42. However, she took to X the following day to deny having submitted any divorce paperwork, claiming that fake documents were filed by someone without her knowledge or approval.
“My theory is that this person is being spoken to by a catfish who is pretending to be me online,” she wrote. “This person is trying to get money.”
According to the court paperwork, “Lena” filed for divorce on her birthday — Monday, June 1. The adult film star tells Us that she and Adam (real name: Adam Grandmaison) were in “such a great place” that day.
“Adam had this wonderful surprise for me,” she explains. “I had jokingly said that I wanted him to, like, make me a Taylor Swift music video, and then he actually did it and took it very seriously, and it was a huge production … [we had] a little viewing party [for] it.”
Lena points out that this isn’t “the kind of thing that happens if you’re not in a great place in your relationship.”
“I think that, unfortunately, the story was very believable for people, because they’ve just been waiting for this to happen based on what they see about us online, and I don’t blame them, but yeah, everything’s good over here,” she insists to Us.
Lena also tells Us that someone has attempted to file fraudulent divorce documents a few times before, under her name and Adam’s.
“I believe that this person is being catfished and duped by a third party who’s pretending to be me, but I’m being affected by their behaviors,” she says.
As for the identity of the imposter, Lena says she knows the individual’s name because it’s listed on checks that were sent to her for court fees along with the fake documents.
“I don’t know them directly, but I think that they know me,” she notes of the imposter. “I think that they are talking to somebody online who is pretending to be me and using my photos and everything to talk to them, and I think that they have convinced this person to keep sending them money, saying that they’re being abused and they need help out of their marriage, and it’s part of like this long ongoing story to get money out of this person.”
Lena adds that she often sees “tons of fake accounts” using her photos.
The content creator tells Us that she has already filed a police report for identity theft. She also spoke to a lawyer, who plans to help her get the fraudulent divorce filing dismissed.
Lena also notes that Adam is a “great dad” to their 5-year-old daughter and that she would “never” want to take their child away from him. (In the phony divorce docs, the Lena imposter requested joint legal and physical custody of her and Adam’s daughter.)
“I feel for the person who’s being spoken to by the catfisher, because I think that they think that they’re acting well-intentioned and attempting to help me, and I feel bad for that,” Lena continues, adding, “I feel like there’s always going to be bad actors.”
As for what she would say to the person being catfished, Lena shares, “I would just say that I’ve never spoken to you. I don’t know you. I’ve never gotten any money from you. You’ve never helped me with anything, and I’m sorry that you’re a victim in this situation as well.”
Lena also issues a warning to others about online safety.
“I would just say a broader message about internet literacy, like, it sucks, because all of this has happened really before the age of AI, and then now with AI, it’s just gonna get so much worse, and I have a lot of concerns about that,” she concludes.
