Over four and a half years, the star says she received 41,071 emails, 744 tweets, letters totaling 106 pages and 350 hours of voicemails from her stalker that she claims happened in real life.

Internet hackers stole the data of Ashley Madison’s 37 million users and posted it online in August 2015.
And what’s more, former employees have now admitted that many male users didn’t actually talk to real women on the site.
Chief executive Noel Biderman once insisted that there was “no communication” between members that was “anything that wasn’t organic.”

The former employees not only confessed to creating fake profiles, but also said they would use artificial intelligence to send tens of thousands of messages to boys.
