Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, has taken to social media to address a disturbing trend following misconduct allegations as a prison officer at HM Prison Wandsworth in England.
De Sousa Abreu was charged with misconduct in public office after a video allegedly showing her engaged in a sexual act with an inmate surfaced last month.
In her statement, De Sousa Abreu expressed frustration about overexploiting her situation, particularly on platforms like OnlyFans, where impostors have reportedly created fake accounts in her name.”There’ve been a lot of GoFundMe pages and OnlyFans accounts that are not me, and I do apologize if you have fallen for it, from the bottom of my heart” she stated.
The incident has drawn widespread attention, intensifying media scrutiny around her personal life.
De Sousa Abreu, who also runs an OnlyFans account and has appeared on a UK television show discussing her sexuality, emphasized the impact of the scandal on her daily life, lamenting being constantly photographed by paparazzi when visiting public places.
Following her arrest at Heathrow Airport while attempting to board a flight to Madrid, De Sousa Abreu has been released on conditional bail pending further legal proceedings scheduled for July 29.
In a candid TikTok video, she also spoke of the challenges of navigating public perception amidst the controversy, criticizing those who have not supported her during this challenging period. Speaking to the press, her sister highlighted concerns about the consequences of mixing personal choices with professional responsibilities.
As the case unfolds, De Sousa Abreu remains at the centre of a complex legal and personal ordeal, urging the public to discern fact from fiction amidst the ongoing media frenzy.
