I am a key participant in season two of Shiny, Happy, People, an Amazon docuseries about the dark underbelly of evangelical Christianity. As an abuse survivor turned activist, I spent years documenting and exposing the abuses perpetrated by that organization. Over the years, I have compiled the most extensive archival materials and expertise of anyone in the entire world on the subject of Teen Mania.

In April 2024, I was contacted by the director, Cori Shepherd Stern to provide that expertise to her show under false pretenses. She proceeded to groom me into an emotionally intimate relationship so that she could exploit my expertise and motivate me to provide free labor. Once I realized and reported it, I experienced intense retaliation and psychological warfare.

I ended the personal aspect of our relationship on March 20, 2025 due to Ms. Shepherd’s erratic behavior and she has not communicated with me directly since that date (5 days before the earliest creation of the HumanLineProject). I did not expect the personal fallout to infringe upon her professional duties to me, our professional relationship in launching the show or to harm my pre-existing relationships with other cast members.

By May 2025 and likely before, Stern retaliated against me by engineering a smear campaign to isolate me from the other cast members, which was successful on all but one person. She claimed or had others claim that I was stalking her, that I was experiencing “AI psychosis” and other mental health issues and that I was dangerous with the potential to cause harm. All of those statements were knowingly false.

Ms. Stern’s bizarre, cruel and defamatory behavior has caused me intense emotional distress, reputational harm and professional harm. I have medical evidence to show panic attacks, emergency therapy sessions, and that my body was so stressed that normal anesthetics for dental procedures would not work on me (first time ever). Any emotional outbursts or erratic behavior on my part are directly due to the stress of Stern’s mistreatment of me and her direct violation of multiple personal promises. Ironically, the allegations laid against chatgpt about cultivating emotional trust and psychological dependence through mirroring of values and flattery without regard for the harm caused when that is violently ripped away or proven to be false could all be applied to Stern. But instead of 3 weeks, my hell was over one year. How much are my damages worth?

When you tell a computer your problems, you don’t expect it to lie to you and gaslight you. When you tell a documentary filmmaker all your deepest traumas and triggers in order to help other people who also experienced them, you don’t expect them to weaponize it against you.

I invite Ms. Stern to immediately CEASE AND DESIST all malicious defamation.

If her completely false and malicious defamation continues I will exercise my legal right to self defense and publish private texts from her that will prove my innocence. And it will be completely legal. Those texts would show:

Specifically, Ms. Stern:

• Invited me to her hotel room for a night of personally intimate and emotional conversation where she represented herself as a queer woman and said she fell in love with cast member from last season before it ended badly (that person was significantly harmed by Stern, showing a pattern).
• Referred to our meeting as “instant friendship” and “fellow soul travelers”
• Provided her home address and solicited personal gifts.
• Expressed affection and gratitude for those gifts, undermining any claim of unwanted contact.
• Made provably false statements about other cast members throughout duration of our relationship.
• Begged to remain friends as recently as February 4, 2025.
• Exhibited erratic contact patterns, including bursts of 100+ incoherent texts in under 20 minutes, followed by prolonged silence.
• Weaponized my most personal traumatic wounds against me in ways that she specifically promised not to
• Repeatedly and enthusiastically encouraged me to begin using chatgpt and constantly shared chat prompts with me based on Jung, tarot, self-discovery, etc.
• For her birthday in January of 2025, she requested that I create a custom chatgpt prompt for her around self-discovery. She said she loved it and considered a “top 5” gift.

The future AI and its capabilities were her most consistent topic of conversation with me other than the show. She thought that the universe could use chatgpt to send her messages and that in the future AI would develop free will. I would be surprised to see her turnaround on the issue if I hadn’t familiarized myself with her history of duplicity.

Who Runs HLP Instagram Account?

I invite the Human Line Project to explain why their Instagram social media began on October 20, 2025. What motivated that decision after one post in March then months of silence? Why that date specifically? Was there a strategy involved? On Oct 19, 2025 was that plan already in existence?

Because Oct 20, 2025 is the day my investigative podcast premiered. It looks into Cori Shepherd Sterns backstory to peel back the layers on her polished media persona and reveal the real ugly truth underneath. It’s similar to the kind of investigative podcasts her company does. It seems like she would be motivated to respond in some way on that day and it fits her previous patterns of behavior.

I will believe that it is a coincidence when I am provided proof of such.
