abusive para-social relationship

When you're manipulated by a content creator into thinking they're a good person but then you find out they're like a sex perfect or wife beating psycho, all the while you defended them without realizing they were taking advantage of you. Until they finally get exposed/canceled and your friend finally rescues you from said para-social relationship and you finally stop following them after all these years.

Nate - Man i used to watch Destiny all the time, but ever since the minor sexting and revenge porn I've kinda stopped following.
Kyra - really? you're finally getting out of that abusive para-social relationship?
