Need advice: My ex released a book and photoshopped my face on its cover without my consent

PART 1: So, one of my friends informed me a few days ago that my ex-bf (significantly younger, lives abroad) pushed a poetry book online (visibly under the gay poetry category), and that the guy on the cover looked "an awful lot like" me. She sent me a screenshot of it, and I realized that it was a photo of me taken by my ex a few months prior to our break-up.

The photo was heavily manipulated, and my face was replaced with a human skull, to either make me look like a monster or to make sure that I wouldn't be able to sue him for it. I can't be recognized by association, so I'm able to put it out there with ease of mind. But my hair, jawline, neck, and ears were kept almost intact -other than the overall smudge(?) effect- to the extent that one of my close friends immediately recognized me the moment she saw it. She'd also read the book to see if he revealed my identity in it, and he didn't plainly, but the closing poem was apparently made entirely of our text messages.

I downloaded the book to secure it as evidence in case he removed it from Kindle, and skipped to the end. There it was, a shitty poem in which he put together a hefty number of my farewell messages together, edited & recreated some sentences to combine them into some sort of a narrative letter in which I poetically (??) explained to him in detail why I was leaving him. He wasn't being subtle about it either as he named the poem "your last messages to me, unrecognizable", and it couldn't be further away from the truth. Even though he "allegedly" rendered them unrecognizable, they literally, in every way, matched the ones I'd sent him on iMessage at the time.

There were even reviews from some people we both knew while we dated, and a few of them were not faint in letting everyone know that the book "perfectly" encapsulated what it was like to date a narcissist & sociopath and even made snarky comments about how they knew who it was the book talked about. It was clear that he asked them to read the book because none of those simpletons had ever mentioned even touching a book in their lives.

I immediately contacted Amazon's customer service, even pulled some strings, and had them remove the book. But it was back up online again the next morning as, clearly, the little bitch appealed to the take-down or republished it. The comments from people we mutually knew were gone at least, but this isn't exactly solving my problem. I also enlisted the help of friends in reporting his Twitter account as spam until it was put on hold, and we were successful. He got a new account, which is irrelevant because he now has zero followers.

PART 2: I'll shortly talk about what happened between us to give you more context. At the end of this summer, I was assigned (part of a routine rotation) to our Cyprus franchise headquarters in Nicosia for 6 months. We had the opportunity to travel to some landmark cities around us, mainly Istanbul and Athens for team meetings. I met my now ex in one of my travels to Turkey, which is where he'd lived his entire life. I met him at a birthday party in Istanbul, where I was a plus one for a coworker (an Armenian Cypriot). He was one of the only people who spoke English at the party, and even though I wasn't looking for anything at the time, I'd been terribly homesick, so I gave into the conversation, and offered we go to my hotel for the night.

We kept talking to each other and got together many times during that 4 months. He was fun to be around, and I found comfort in his conversation. We became official right way, I guess, even though it was only between the two of us. He was a writer, not accomplished or anything, but he had managed to be traditionally published once by an A-list publisher there, but he fucked it up with an inexcusable petty drama which I independently found out from a few people I knew in the industry. I'll mention it just so you know what kind of a person I'm dealing with: The graphic designer of his book emailed him the front cover only a few hours before it went into printing, which gave him no time to tell her whether he liked it. He gets angry, and in return, he exposes the affair between the graphic artist and the owner of the publishing house who was also a renowned celebrity psychiatrist and happened to be married. It's too late to cancel the book, but they make sure he wishes it was canceled. and he stays a nobody. His version of what happened wasn't even close to the truth. And this should've been a red alarm for me, but I conveniently ignored it.

by Anonymousreply 1May 15, 2022 1:51 AM

PART3: Fast forward, we drifted away, for reasons I'm not even going to justify by mentioning. I assumed he was aware too, that we were over. But clearly, I had over-assumed it, and I became the "cheater" for seeing someone else. I come back to the States, and a few months later, here we are. The book also has some content that heavily features our IRL conversations and even some intimate moments, all of which are just as alarming concerning what I should be expecting in the future.

Because of my job, I can't come out publicly. I work at a blatantly conservative company (I live in the midwest, late 40s). You lot don't like to see this as an excuse but it is what it is, it is real life. One of my friends (a corporate lawyer) told me my facial identifiers (pupils etc.) were not preserved in the cover photo and I wouldn't exactly have a case claiming that this was my hair and my jaw on a random skull, but I could "possibly" sue him for publicly revealing text messages if he failed to manipulate them enough in the book. He's lying at the end of the book, claiming that the messages were lost in translation which doesn't even make sense. I don't speak a second language & all my messages to him were in English as is the entire book.

When I left him, he was depressed, not surprisingly as his life was a complete and utter failure, so I don't know what to expect from such a petty person. I'm not trying to be heartless here, but he's 29, and he still depended on a few relatives he maintained a relationship with to survive & his father, etc. wanted nothing to do with him (when I questioned him at times he'd vaguely imply that they didn't accept him & he didn't like talking about it, but I highly doubt that was the issue considering what kind of a person would commit these acts) I want him to understand that I will not stand by and watch him wreck my reputation if he ever tries to pull that shit at any point in time. I have the privilege to sue him in his hometown too (we have a franchise there as well). I unblocked him to contact him about the issue but couldn't reach him. Do I take the risk and sue him anyway based on our iMessage history despite what my lawyer friend says? Do you know anyone who's gone through a similar mess?

"You kissed me like an ancient creature who didn’t remember his childhood & I was trying to forget mine. I hadn’t learned how not to surrender to lips this unconcerned, this immoderate."

If this is the quote he's chosen to use in his blurb on Amazon, it doesn't bode well for the quality of the writing in the rest of the book. Your text messages may be the best written part. (Sounds a bit like the Bad Art Friend situation, and whether it was legal for the second writer to use a letter written by the first in her story.)

This is proof positive that very few authors make stuff up from imagination. They're always stealing from the people they're with. My advice is do not be friends with an author or poet unless you want to appear unflatteringly in their oeuvres.

You mention that you can't be out because of your job and you live in a conservative town. If you sue, everything will be public record. Think of Johnny Depp. If he had ignored his ex-wife's WaPo OpEd, it would have blown over. Rise above. You would have to consult with a lawyer with knowledge in literary copyright, re his use of your texts. The percentage that needs to be changed for use is specific. But I advise to ignore this. Your ex wants your attention. He knew he had it when you got his book taken down for a day. Don't engage. Who cares about the "friends" you had together and what they think. Nobody else knows it's you. Except us: )

by Anonymousreply 42May 15, 2022 2:56 AM

OP, assuming this account is more or less true, you should by the time you hit your forties know how to deal with people who are trying to get a rise out of you:

Figure out whatever it is they're expecting from you AND DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM.

No one in the world cares about, much less will bother to read, that book. He knows it. He's just trying to get you to react.

So don't.

If you refuse to play, he'll eventually get bored and go away.

If he turns out to be not just an immature nut but an actual psycho, he'll escalate. In which case, your job is to make it really simple for bystanders to figure out who's the psycho and who's his victim. Again, you do that by not getting involved in his games.

by Anonymousreply 43May 15, 2022 3:06 AM

R41 In their "tortured" minds they're always the victim. It's a paradox I don't understand. If you worshipped the relationship to the point you had to write a book about it, why release it at the cost of destroying its memory and your ex's perception of you? You're not a famous author & influencer, in the best case scenario 10 of your friends buy it out of sympathy. Pathetic.

R42 That's what I meant when I asked if it would be worth it for me to pursue a legal battle but I forgot to detail my fear. Thanks for touching on my biggest concern. After reading similar advice here, this is what I'm going to do. Just ignore it and wait it out. If I won, the book would disappear, but then court records would be accessible if for some reason someone in the corporate decided to dig the records. I appreciate this, really.

Lastly, I think this bitch might have the Cindirella sendrom. Because, Turkey is such a shitty place to live in now. Maybe, he was just hoping to find a hot, rich daddy to come up and save him from this dump. Whatever it is, just ignore it. Seriosly, no one will give a shit about this so called book.

I totally get why OP might want to stay in the closet but it really irritates me that he would think he has a cause of action if someone says he is gay. I do not think there is anything wrong with being gay and while he might want to stay in the closet, bullying someone from speaking is not how to do it- choosing appropriate partners is how you can maintain privacy.

Because I went to Amazon to read about the book, I see this ghastly cover under my "Pick up where you left off" tab every time I visit the site now.

THANKS FOR NOTHING, OP!!

Why doesn’t OP have his face changed so he no longer resembles the cover?

OP, I think you are still emotionally involved. Youbare still into him.

So are you Doctor Oz, OP?

Are your opponents in possession of the text messages exchanged between your twink and you?

Just deny everything like all REAL Republicans do.

Hopefully, your “ex” was over the age of consent when you took him back to your hotel room.

LMAO!

You see? I can also write fiction, OP. Or maybe I’m better at Biographies. 🥸

[quote]R2 Do you know anyone who's gone through a similar mess?

OP, I was just kidding about Dr. Oz, because of the Turkish connection, but I’m not kidding about this:

Those texts (the ones available on Amazon), are TEDIOUS AF.

Become a better writer, and stop blackmailing closeted men via Amazon books.

Does it make you feel used and dirty all over? Do you feel empty inside? Do you have feelings of rage...feel like killing him? Dibs on the Netflix series& ID Channel rights?

Op, make sure you don't buy any pets large enough for a standard sized lobster pot, something about this 'author' is screaming that 'he will not be ignored'.

OP, you don't have skin on your face?
