Gaslighting Tealight Style

This was just one of the first tweets to indicate that somewhere, something was happening in Jake World.

Tweeters kept referring to a "thread".  Have you seen the thread? Did you see the thread?  What?  What thread?  What happened?
 
It took a short while to back track and find out what, who and when because the "barrage" of activity was sizeable and viral enough, that this particular reader was getting a whiff of something cooking already.

Well, the "who" was a tweeter named @actorhoe.  The "when" was August 11.  The "what, why and how" is here in the infamous "thread", tweeted by @actorhoe himself, and in order sequence:

wow.

I think I'm...

;-)

It was amusing to watch it all in real time because at first the tweeters took mr. @actorhoe's word for it and voiced their displeased reaction by proclaiming they were hereby officially "unstanning" Jake, disappointed in Jake, bummed about Jake and all of his "No no no no's". 

I'm so disappointed of him. https://t.co/HDge6uiig4

jake gyllenhaal is cancelled.

Then, the tide soon changed and tweeters began poking fun at and accusing @actorhoe of being a stalker and trespassing on his idol, Jake Gyllenhaal.  The nerve!  The gall!  How stalkerish!

what he did was still wrong but what can I say she had it coming

By the following day, the situation had deteriorated to the point where cyber bullying was occurring and @actorhoe apparently threatening suicide and closing up shop.

Funny thing happened on the way to the forum, however.  @civilwhore is not online any longer.  Can't find @johnboyegs either. Oh, and @actorhoe?  Well, first his account went private, now it's totally deleted.  Meanwhile, some kept beating up on the twitter account which eventually was to go poof! into the night.

This drama is getting crazy, how everyone can suddenly hate on Jake is beyond me. Firstly, this poor young girl is a GROWN ASS MAN!! He was at Jake's HOME, if you can see inside the lobby of his building guess what?? You are at his house! There are lines you don't cross and this individual clearly cannot see them. He camped out at his apartment building for hours and was combing the whole neighborhood. This wasn't at a event Jake was at, this was during his personal time at his home. Jake is supposed to be happy about that?? ~SMH~ The story is soooo dramatic and inconsistent, ever changing depending on the mood of this individual. He reported Jake's friend was his girlfriend starting rumors which fan accounts jumped on with record speed only to find out that this person corrects themselves and says it was a friend that is a girl and he made a mistake. Can we just leave Jake the hell alone?? Damn. How many rumors are now circulating because of this out of control fan? 1) Jake is a a**hole and always has been 2) He has a girlfriend 3) Jake doesn't appreciate his fans. Why can't we just say thank you to Jake for all the amazing one of a kind films he makes for us?? 🎥 If you don't like him fine, don't hold him to such a high standard because imo Jake reacted as he should have. Don't go on twitter saying how Jake was completely aggressive with you and now you are frightened of him 🙄 Grow the **** up. Watch Jake's movies, that's all he owes you is quality work. Now suddenly everyone knows and has known that Jake is a**hole to his fans, people want to unstan him. Jake is super sweet to his FANS and he gives a lot to us, people that stalk his house don't get the same treatment it seems. People are crazy nowadays, you don't know if someone is going to walk up to you and shoot you. He isn't your best friend, your boyfriend, or long lost mentor...he's got a job and then he wants to live a normal life. Don't act like a crazy ass stalker and be hurt when someone reacts to it *mic drop* #jakegyllenhaal #gyllenhaalic #celebrity #moviestar #paparazzi #creepy #nyc #newyorkcity #actor

A post shared by Jake G Fan Account (@jakeovereverythin

 Wow, that's quite a display.

So, no pictures.  No video.  No eyewitnesses to this "incident".  Not only that, but keeping in mind that this melodrama was to have occurred at this well-publicized "new home" of Jake's:  443 Greenwich in Tribeca.  We assume the 'burbs weren't all they were cut out to be?  Remember that "story" during Life promo about Jake and Reynolds being neighbors in Pound Ridge, with Jake hanging out all the time over at their house, Easy Bake Oven cranking out homemade Ho-Ho's left and right?  ;-)

Jake's new digs are at 443 Greenwich, the new tall-story condo "It" building-for-the-stars.  Oh, and Blake and Ryno also live there, again - neighbors with Mr. G.  lol.  But about 443 Greenwich:

• strong emphasis on privacy
• elevators that open directly to each unit
• Concierge and full service, underground garage
• Valet parking
• Full Time Doorman

What was that? 

Full. Time. Doorman.

An underground garage which allows the celebrity to enter from the street and never be seen before entering or exiting.  source - Time.com

So we're to understand this random fan was allowed to hang out for "7-8 hours" waiting for Jake?

And what was "When he was entering the building"?  So that means this fan made his way past the full-time doorman and was allowed to wait inside this "It" building-to-the-stars?  Dripping wet on the floors?  lol.

I mean....

The Actorhoe Stunt was another one for the Jake ages.  What were these several wasted hours designed for?  Not entirely clear, although certainly the "It" building-to-the-stars being Jake's new digs was definitely "pounded" home repeatedly.  Also, the idea of Jake having no privacy, being hounded by fans, of literally being the new Greta Garbo of our generation - these points also a goal of the story.  

Meanwhile, during the aftermath, Jake was skipping town, only present in the Big Apple long enough to pose for a few photo ops with his speed dial beard, Greta Caruso and hug Mystery Gals™ on random streets.

So while Jake fans everywhere were dabbing at their eyes feeling badly for their long-time fave, Jake was busy putting his sneakers to work.
