Narcissist Behavior Q&A
📤 They threaten to spread my photos and videos
You don't have to send money or agree to meet as demanded. Even if nothing has actually been posted, the threat itself is enough to get help right now.
The short answer
Allowing the filming never meant allowing it to be spread.
When this happens, try this
- Don't give in to the demands. First capture the threatening messages and their account handles exactly as they are.
- Contact the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative Image Abuse Helpline (844-878-2274) for support with counseling and takedowns. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233) is also available 24/7.
Scenes like this
- They said they'd send it to your family and workplace if you left.
- They demanded money or a meeting in exchange for deleting it.
How to tell the difference
It's a threat even before anything is posted — because sexual photos or videos were used to demand money or a meeting.
