Chris Olsen is opening up about being the victim of digital abuse.
The 26-year-old grew emotional while sharing he is the victim of revenge porn, the act of when sexually explicit images or videos are distributed online without someone's consent.
"This is not something I want to talk about," Olsen said in the July 23 video posted to TikTok, "but it kind of feels like it's gotten to a point where I have to. I haven't wanted to because I feel like that was just drawing attention to it, but at this point, too many people have DM'd me about it."
Explaining that the instance happened four years ago when someone messaged him about one of the photos being posted to Twitter, Olsen said that he then created an account to reach out to the user.
"So I created one so I could DM this guy to take it down and then he blocked me and tweeted, 'In 30 minutes, I'm taking Chris' photos down so download them now.'"
The content creator, who didn’t share the identity of the person in question, noted that it was felt like a turning point, adding, “I knew after that I was, like, basically done for."
And though Olsen shared he reported the account and years have since passed, it's an issue that he's "still dealing with" today.
"It never stopped," he continued. "It’s nonconsensual. It’s violating. It’s fully abuse and illegal.”
Olsen went on to share a message about those that may be participating in the nature of distributing such images.
“If you’re contributing to this, you’re contributing to a culture of abuse,” he . “And to say that someone with a platform deserves this or should expect this because this is the job that we’ve chosen is absolutely insane. I hope you hear how crazy that is."
Through tears, he added, "I know people don't like me, I know that. but can you please find a more creative way to hate on me than committing a crime."
