*Trigger warning there will be mentions of suicide and self harm*

This is a more in depth statement of what I’ve gone through from start to finish with as much detail as possible so apologies if the timeline isn’t in order, the main point of this was to provide evidence and to create awareness of impersonators online, I really hope this can be taken as  seriously as it is. I hate the fact I have felt the need to write this, and I’m quite disappointed in certain public figures that have been made aware of it , yet they’ve chosen to shrug it off and still follow Emery on social media .

I already deal with bad mental health , and the friendship I felt I had with  ‘Fiona ‘ helped me.  Also to mention I suffer with abandonment issues, so I find it quite hard to make and keep friends as an adult- this person made me feel special and listened to, for it to be all one big lie now I’m finding it harder than ever to know who I can really trust . ‘Fiona ‘ was also ‘there for me’ through parts of my year when I’ve been vulnerable such as where I’d lost a pet, had burnouts from work and was even there when my depression was quite bad and had ‘harmful dark thoughts ‘ .

They even had the audacity to keep it up and remembered to wish me a happy birthday, which thinking back now meant nothing since it wasn’t actually legit.

It’s very disturbing with how much detail and effort was put into these lies , almost as if some of it was someone’s fantasy. I’m not going to add all of the messages  since there are 5 months worth of conversations there with speaking almost every day so I’d rather point out the important bits that seemed ’real’ to me and believable . Thank you for taking the time to read this to those who do. I could have provided more evidence/screenshots but Zinnia has now deactivated her instagram and twitter account so sorry if I can’t give full context in some parts as the chats have disappeared. Zinnia is a fan that I’d known of for a little while and thought I could trust. I found out she was also partly responsible for the fake TikTok account, instagram account and possibly the fake Pinterest . There is a Pinterest account under the same name ( Fionacdourif), I’ll add a screenshot of that account also since it still exists. I really hope this can be taken seriously and not just brushed off as this has mentally impacted multiple people (myself included) and serious and harmful misinformation has been spread. Emery and those responsible can’t be getting away with this as this has gone on for 7 months ( I was only aware of this since end of May when the TikTok account was created ).There are more people involved that Zinnia finally admitted to but refused to tell me who as “ she didn’t want anyone hurting themselves “ over this.

I trusted Emery as I assumed Fiona’s personal life would be kept private with permission given to Emery to post certain things about her, and how much she seemed to ‘know ‘ about her. I kept this situation private and in a small circle of people I thought I could trust for months, wanting to respect Fiona’s privacy and while keeping personal things about her dating life etc, also private as she eventually referred to me as an “online friend “ which made me feel special. That being said , I didn’t want to give out information as I agreed things were kept between us out of respect.

May 22nd 2024.

A TikTok user named ‘Fiona’ started spam liking all of my horror and Fiona related TikToks and I thought nothing of it. This was a new account just made that day and had little to no followers.

I’d messaged a chucky fan I was online mutuals with named Zinnia about it and was skeptical about it being real, until I found out that ‘Fiona ‘ was close family friends with a 17 year old girl named Emery Bingham. Emery’s account was verified so I thought I’d ask her if it was real and she had confirmed it was and she made Fiona make a TikTok account.( Little did I know at the time a fake instagram account was made the exact same day named ‘Dooorif7’ also claiming to be Fiona. )

 Getting excited thinking this could be legit , I messaged Emery to ask if she could get Fiona to give me a follow as I wanted to chat with her.

After this I started talking casually to “fiona” , I brought up about how I was the one who tweeted her on Mother’s Day that I was ‘Thinking of her that day’ knowing about her mother’s past. Then we started to talk about cons and how I wish I could have met her.

The conversation soon after became a bit personal and we started talking about her time on set of Chucky and the drama with ‘aly’ that other fans were also told about- I think the story here was changed a little from other screenshots I’ve seen from the fake instagram account. Then I thought I’d share some things too since I thought I could trust this person and it looked like we had similar things in common such as childhood trauma . I don’t want to add all of the conversation since I told the account some personal things I really regret sharing.

Emery talking to me about ‘Fiona’s girlfriend Claudia ‘ and about knowing ‘Fiona ‘ in general

( wish I’d screenshotted these ) but Zinnia also started to chat with Fiona  through Tiktok and sent me a screenshot of Fiona telling Zinnia she would pay for her to meet her at a convention , since Zinnia couldn’t afford it.

*suicide and self harm mention *

14th July

I was in work and I’d gotten a DM from Zinnia asking if I was was ok and that she’d told me that everyone is saying Fiona passed about ten minutes ago. That just made my heart drop , I ended up breaking down at work and managed to get the words out ‘I need to go , my friend could be dead’ . According to Zinnia, nobody had heard anything from Emery for at least 40 mins which made people assume the worst . Zinnia shown me screenshots from a friend called ‘ray’ who somehow knew about what had happened even though he didn’t know Fiona, which made things even more confusing . Emery ended up blaming it on one of her friends called Lizzie making it all up  , and that she regretfully told her too much about Fiona’s personal life. I know now that that it was all Emery who made that up just to cover her own back, and I still don’t understand how low you’d have to be to fabricate something that extreme .

These screenshots are from other fans and screenshots of Emery’s convo to someone about it, along with an alleged ‘suicide note ‘ that was left :

Eventually , I received this ss from zinnia speaking to Emery :

Then Fiona coincidentally got back to me

 18th July

Emery posted that she will be releasing a new song named ‘The way you broke me ‘ and that ‘Fiona ‘ pretty much wrote the whole thing and it was about her relationship with her mom. Emery posted this on her story but then shortly deleted it( I didn’t take a screenshot of the story ) , thanking her ‘friend Fiona ‘ for writing it . The lyrics made it sound very believable too with the details I was told beforehand. I don’t think I’ll ever find out who it’s truthfully about , but it’s a fucking disgusting way to promote your music.

Again sorry it’s not in order : *Fortunately some Fiona fans via twitter have provided screenshots of Emery talking about ‘fighting Aly’ in a hospital parking lot :

“Fiona “ then started to talk about her relationship with her mother and explained about her having bad mental health. (I don’t want to add more detail since I don’t know what is 100% true since I don’t actually know Fiona or if the imposer was talking about their own life and don’t want to be responsible for defamation ) . So I shared some personal things of my own as there was some similarities and that we had some things in common. Fiona also said at one point ‘you actually remind me of me a little bit ‘.

Emery also herself backed up what was said by saying how she wishes things were different for her and again I’m not sure that I want to add the conversation about Fiona’s mother since I don’t actually know how much of it is real , and I don’t want to be responsible for giving out personal details. But abuse and homophobia from an early age were mentioned in the conversation.

More screenshots of Emery talking about how she knows Fiona and about “Fiona’s “ gf at the time. A few days later I was told that Fiona and Claudia had broken up and Claudia had ‘dumped her ‘ and Claudia had spread ‘revenge porn’ to Fiona and her friends . I was there for Fiona during that time as much as I could . I even ‘helped’ her regain confidence and get back out into dating as she told me ‘talking to you has helped me more than you know ‘ Again I’m sorry if screenshots and conversations aren’t in order .

I was watching Emery’s instagram live once and she was talking about her new music videos and album in progress , and that a character that will be part of it, named Ms Eden and that she is 42 years old, implying that Fiona would be included, she said this knowing myself and a few fans were watching.  The Fiona account also backed this up and referred to  being ‘directed by a 17 year old ‘

After some time , Jennifer Tilly started to be brought up quite often , how Fiona has had feelings for her since filming cult , and that Jennifer’s partner Phil wasn’t very nice to Jennifer. I was told that Phil would bodyshame her, cheat on her and he pretty much vanished for a few days without an explanation. Then Fiona would start spending days with Jennifer and things seemed to hit off quite fast .

  *below - fiona referring to her Dad knowing about Jennifer and Fiona getting together :

*More on Fiona telling me about Phil :

What didn’t add up was Jennifer was still posting pictures of herself and Phil on instagram . When I questioned this to Fiona and Emery , they said that ‘Jen’s management don’t know about their relationship yet and they will give it time before they make it public and to keep it quiet in ‘which I respected and kept quiet . Fiona would bring up to me  how it was hurtful to her to see comments such as ‘my favourite couple !’ And she was worried about how public would react to the news when it was eventually announced . Fiona also went to the point of saying that Jennifer’s friends knew about their new relationship and that they were ‘going along with Jennifer still being with Phil’ to make everything look normal . I recently found some screenshots on twitter of zinnia telling other fans about their relationship and asking others if they ‘wanted to see Fiona’s private account’ which was the fake instagram account while I thought at the time this meant Zinnia had broken the promise of keeping the relationship private when she was ‘supposedly told about it in private too’ . Another part that made it seem very believable was Fiona had told me about her day, and that she was at Sutton’s house (Jennifer’s friend) and that she was fully supportive of jen and Fiona being together  . But that same day Jennifer had actually posted about being at Sutton’s that day, but Fiona was not present in any pictures, and I thought that was due to them keeping things private . I still don’t know how the impersonators knew about where Jennifer was or it was just a coincidence.

Fiona would like to bring ‘Jen ‘ up a lot and would sometimes ask for advice on  where to take her on a date etc, and she would give me daily updates on how they were doing , and would sometimes go into detail about their sex life .

Sometimes I had to reassure ‘Fiona ‘ I wasn’t sick of her as she’d asked and would sometimes overthink that she was being too much .

I’d recently came out and was still adjusting to talking to people about it , but I thought I felt comfortable talking to ‘Fiona ‘ about it , since we’d spoken about other things and with her having more life experience than me. But one thing that caught me off guard that she asked was this:

‘Fiona’ would quite often ask how my day was or what I was up to etc and would be great at keeping a conversation going. This would go on for a while until she started to get a little ‘busier with cons’ and there would be days without talking , which I understood at the time until it got closer to beginning of September and I didn’t hear back ever again. The last time I’d spoke to her she told me her mail is still in Portugal so I still can’t send any presents ( I’d gotten things for her birthday and made her aware of it and she trusted me with her address since I hadn’t leaked anything about her  ) but it will be sorted in about a week. The address Emery finally gave to me was thankfully a legit address to an agency in LA, that another fan has shown me to receive autographs from although I still don’t know if the real Fiona has actually seen what I sent , I’d paid for tracking to make sure it was delivered but I feel so stupid since she will have no idea who they’re from as ‘Fiona ‘knew I was sending them .

I feel this could have been a whole lot worse if bank details got involved.

One of the last things we spoke about  were Halloween costume couple ideas for herself and Jennifer.

 At one point, Emery reached out and asked me and another fan what security was like at horror cons as ‘Fiona had been getting threats’ but refused to go into detail . To this day I still don’t know why Emery wanted to know about security so I’m hoping  nothing was planned . Recently on twitter fans had posted screenshots of Emery in a group chat with someone pretending to be Aly, and ‘aly’ saying they wanted Fiona dead.

Luckily Fiona’s appearance was cancelled , so if anything was actually planned nothing could have been carried out.

Me and ‘Fiona ‘ would have casual conversations about music we liked and what films etc. she said she listens to Falling in reverse quite a lot and went to the warped tour a few times when she was younger. And we have each other movie recommendations- she recommended ’but I’m a cheerleader ‘ to me since it was a ‘cute lesbian film ‘ that she loved . It was little conversations like this daily is what made things so believable, I tried my best to not talk about work related stuff to her as I just wanted to get to know her for herself and not a celebrity , that’s what she liked about me. I even went out of my way to research more into some of the mental health issues that she supposedly had , and how to make it easier to talk to someone suffering with it , as I felt like I was walking on eggshells sometimes and was worried incase I’d triggered her or upset her in any way. There would be numerous times I’d be comforting her and felt a bit like an online counsellor, which I didn’t mind since I was trusted with all of this information about her life. It made me happy knowing I was helping and it gave me a confidence boost.

Sometimes I felt like I knew this wouldn’t last forever and I’d get a little down about it and assume ‘Fiona ‘ was getting bored of talking to me , I’d get messages like this and it would give me that little bit of reassurance .

Until there was over a month I hadn’t heard from ‘Fiona ‘ and I knew that with her profession that this would be normal since when I last spoke to her she said she was getting a little busier lately and ‘gearing up for the show ‘ meaning someone somehow actually knew the real Fiona was filming at the time.  I accepted I might not hear from her again until Emery had said this

 I think she did this as she wanted to keep the lie going since it didn’t work out on instagram and the account was called out by Fiona herself .

I was told multiple times by Emery after asking for reassurance , that her TikTok was definitely her .

I was told that it was and to ‘just go along with it being fake ‘. I thought at the time this was to keep Fiona’s personal socials private so I agreed and kept it private.

Mid October

Fans on twitter started to be made aware of an instagram account impersonating Fiona , and that some people had been talking to the account since the ‘end of may’ . The real Fiona made a public post on instagram about this making people aware of it , but still nothing was mentioned about the TikTok account.

A lot of rare photos of Fiona have been dug up from god knows where and the fake accounts were sending them to fans to make them believe it, but why also would a 42 year old woman be sending old pics of herself to fans ? And I didn’t understand as to why Fiona didn’t follow Emery on any social media at all if they were that ‘close ‘ not to mention there’s not one picture of them together . I wish I’d asked about this a lot sooner so it didn’t drag on for so long .

Screenshots of conversations exposing Zinnia for being responsible for the instagram account ( and now I know also the TikTok account) were shown . Emery still tried to deny that she didn’t know anything and that zinnia had confused her too. All the while I still though that Jennifer and Fiona were still an actual couple , I tried to help and debunk that part as Emery said to ‘go along with it ‘

    *Emery wanted the post below to be removed and persuaded me to report it as it was false and the truth would be out about ‘Jen and Fiona ‘ when really it was because she was about to be caught out . There is also a picture floating around of what looks like Fiona and Jennifer kissing , but I don’t know much more about that and I’m pretty sure it is AI.

Some fans on twitter provided screenshots of Emery admitting she’d actually never met Fiona in real life . But I think she would still try to make me believe her since I was older. The grammar and the tone of text in the instagram account compared to the TikTok account is what made it look legit. The change in text tone gave away that multiple people were involved and I’m annoyed I’ll never know who actually was .I tried to challenge her on what was really the truth, she unfollowed me as I could tell she knew I caught her out.

I told her what was being said on twitter about her and above was her response . Emery has still not apologised and has taken no accountability for anything that’s happened. I then told her that I know she’s been lying to me ,then didn’t even read my messages and just unfollowed me again on TikTok and instagram .

There are more screenshots on twitter about Emery and other fans calling her out for her behaviour that has gone on for much longer than I knew about , but it’s not my place to add them since this is about what I’d been through . I hope Fiona is aware of the TikTok account by now and I hope she gets to read this . I also hope more can be done about impersonating people online and I even hope that Fiona can take legal action against Emery if she ever decides to. I also hope Emery takes accountability one day when she grows up.
