Clearing My Name

Hi, my name is Rob Lee, or as some of you may know me, Leonyx. I want to start by apologizing to the people around me. I'm here to address something that I have remained quiet about until this point, my relationship with Emily Anne Swanson, 19, or as you may know her, Atheniya.



When Emily and I broke up, I didn't feel like anything would come of it, since I keep my relationship business private. Unfortunately, Emily decided to tell a version of her side, which consisted of me being “a cheater”, "abusive", and a "thief". Since I wasn’t those things, I didn't take much mind to it. If people knew me, they would know that I wasn’t and I wouldn't need to worry about it. But after weeks of receiving verbal assaults and death threats, I felt it was time to clear this up.



Let me first and foremost address this, I am not a cheater, abusive, nor am I a thief. I could give more context to a lot more details, but these are the things I’m going to focus on in my writings. Obviously, anyone would say that with these accusations, but I have one thing most don't. I have undeniable proof, more than just the material in this post. I have held onto this evidence the whole time because I didn't want anything to hinder Emily. I didn't want anything bad to happen to her because I loved her with all my heart and still do. But that is probably the most foolhardy thing I could have done since now I can't go a single day without being harassed.



So, today I will tell my side of the events that happened so at least you can see I'm not the monster I have been made out to be. When Emily and I first started dating, she was wonderful and everything I had ever hoped for. But over time things started to fall apart. At the fault of both parties, I’m not perfect either. Let’s start off with the cheating allegation, there’s a screenshot lurking around where Emily acted on high emotions accusing me privately. All I have to say is, there’s a reason why the other person’s name is whitened out, it comes from an untruthful source. The people that got these messages privately, scrolled down, Emily actually admits that I didn’t and acted too fast. Hopefully, someone with this conversation could lend me a hand and provide documentation of this.



As for being abusive, absolutely untrue. Everyone personally knows I took care of Emily like a queen. Several people can confirm this. For an entire year, I took care of her finances personally while she was unemployed and much more. I was always the one that folded and did exactly what she wanted. There is no compromising with her. I lost my cat because she didn’t want her around anymore. She asked me to lie and say my apartment didn’t allow animals, I agreed to it. At the beginning of February, there was a physical complication with the car keys, which resulted in me being arrested for domestic abuse. I did not steal a car, remember how I said I treated Emily like a queen? (http://imgur.com/a/DWSrP) I bought this car myself and I also added her name to help build her credit. I thought I was spending the rest of my life with this girl. She then proceeds to blast me on social media about it. (http://imgur.com/a/dAJiw) I couldn’t even defend myself because she ordered a restraining order, I was helpless. I wasn’t going to pay for a vehicle if she decided not to be with me. After splitting for a bit, I decided to let her have the vehicle if she makes payments on it. She agreed. I had my older brother deal with the logistics with her because of the restraining order. Emily and my brother arrived at the honda dealership to put the car in her name, but she turns and tells him if my family doesn’t pay off the entire car, she would tell the detective I physically abused her the entire relationship, a lie of course. My brother was furious, declined, and took the car back. After all of this, I decided to move back to Pittsburgh and later, the domestic abuse case was thrown out because I provided enough to clear my name. I’m not a felon, I didn’t steal her belongings, nor would I ever beat a woman or anyone. Also, I have no idea why people think I destroyed a car?



After this point, I was away from the situation and realistically I just wanted to be happy with Emily again. I forgave her for everything, even after what happened. (http://imgur.com/a/DJzBD) I have more than this, I have a phone recording, she let me record it, but I think it’s unethical to release it. She would call me asking for me to take her back, but she wanted our relationship to remain a secret. This obviously hurt me, but I just wanted the good times back. Love makes people blind and I was no different. She was, and may still be, crashing at a friend's house under the guise that she was abused and left in LA. I didn’t kick her out from the apartment, she chose to leave. The reality is we continued to talk every night. Meanwhile, she was telling her stream viewers how abusive I was and how she was single. She would slander my name, saying I did terrible things to her. She makes 6k a month off of this idea. This made people feel bad for her and donate more to fuel the "damsel in distress" trope.



In reality, she was manipulating all of her viewers as much as she manipulated me. A perfect example of this is how she told her stream how much she wanted to go to PAX East. A donation train was started and she raised $1400 to go, which was more than enough for the entire trip. The viewers had succeeded and many would get the opportunity to meet her. Her friends even offered her discounted rates to stay with them for her to save cost. But that's not where all of their donations went. Instead, she went out, got extensions, got her nails done, and said she was going to PAX with me. We had actually talked about all of it before the money was even raised. She knew I was renting out a beautiful hotel for us, buying her ticket, and obviously treating her while she was out. All she had to pay for was the flight.



After days of going back and forth, one day her saying she would go, the next not, I had spent over $1000 for her to have the opportunity to go to a convention she wanted to go to, and she had pocketed all the money raised to go. She ended up not going and canceled with me the day before PAX. That’s why I had an extra ticket.



And that brings us to this week, when Emily and her friend decided to get dressed up and, unbeknownst to me, track down a popular streamer named Ice Poseidon. Many of you know him and I personally have no issues with him. He himself can verify this. Through a third party, we actually invited me on his stream to clear things up. (http://imgur.com/a/GKj6k) The day they met, Emily had spent an hour and a half on the phone with me helping pick out her outfit. Since we were still faithful to one another, but in private, I was happy about her going out to spend time with her friend. After she met up with Ice, she spent the day hanging all over him, kissing him on his stream, and the moment she met up with him, blocked my phone number and Snapchat.



Now, as someone who had just spent thousands of dollars on what he was reassured was his faithful partner, you could imagine my surprise and heartache. I tried to contact her through her cell and mutual friends, but she was refusing to talk to me. After hours, we finally talked and she told me that she wanted to still go to PAX with me, she just didn't want people to know we were together because she thought it would hurt her stream. Now while they had their date, I must have come up at some point since I started receiving new death threats from Ice's fans. Whether or not Ice had anything to do with this, I don't know, and I truly hope he's intelligent enough to not take one person's side of a story and send his fans to slander me. I did not call Ice’s manager thirty times, in fact, I attempted to handle it privately through texts and he called me, so I could find out if Emily was unfaithful or not. Emily insists nothing was going on and it was all a “show” for the stream. (http://imgur.com/a/mnUbm) I still don’t know why people keep saying I threatened him.



The reason I'm telling you all of this is because I don't know how to deal with this anymore. My life has come crashing down and it's all based on inflated lies. I am just a guy who wants to work and be happy, but I'm being threatened constantly over these events and I finally have had enough. Abuse works both ways and many people forget that sometimes. A pretty face can convince almost anyone of anything and it convinced me that I was loved and cared for by someone who used, abused, and slandered me. I'm not a fighter, I wouldn't hurt a fly and I don't want any of this. And honestly, I don't even want to fight this. I just want everything to end. And I don't want anyone else out there to feel this way or believe the lies anymore. I'm baring my heart out to all of you because I have nowhere left to turn and I can only imagine how many other people like me have been taken advantage of.



I had requested an apology for over a month and yet to receive one from her. (http://imgur.com/a/NFHIW) I have posted up the proof through the imgur links, I have more than enough to make this statement concrete, but only wanted to focus on clearing my name and being unethical unless forced too. So feel free to look through it yourself and make up your own decision. Emily has offered me money to not post this, but I respectfully declined. But before you threaten someone's life, which should not happen anyway, listen to both sides. It may have a different result than you imagined.



This is the last message I got from her after people were figuring it out. (http://imgur.com/a/b78yv) I do not think Emily is a bad person, she just lacks discipline and is indecisive about what she wants at the moment. However, the main difference between Emily and I, after all of this bullshit, I can forgive and forget everything; maybe one day she can too. Hopefully, this read gives insight on what’s been happening in my life and why I’ve been extremely depressed lately. I wish it didn’t turn out this way. I was always the person trying to make it work. I just wanted Emily to be that special person. I lost someone that I thought was going to be there with me for the rest of my life. I lost my person.



Thank you for reading.
