The hackers threats to Stanton
When the reality star didn’t immediately pay the sum, the hacker started sending the photos to Stanton’s coworkers, producers at ABC, and other people that she knew. He would also message her daily.
Eventually, he began to send the pictures out to her followers. Some of Stanton’s followers have since reached out to let her know that they had been sent photos.
What is Stanton doing to fight her hacker?
Since all of this started, Stanton has gone to the police to let them know what’s going on. She also asked her followers to be respectful and keep the photos private if they do receive them.

Stanton also expressed concern over what other things the hacker could have on her.
“I don’t know what other information this person has,” she told her followers. “It’s been exhausting. I know there are bigger issues and it’ll be okay, it’s just been stressful but I’m hoping that by coming out and telling you guys about it, that it will make me feel a little bit better.
