A narcissistic smear campaign is a form of psychological manipulation and abuse used by narcissists to discredit, devalue, and ultimately destroy an individual’s reputation.
Have you ever experienced a smear campaign? The pain and confusion it inflicts can be unimaginable. I never thought I would find myself engulfed in such a situation until toxic tenants in my last place of work orchestrated a relentless cyberbullying campaign against me in August 2016 but I have been here for almost 8 years. Time to get off the rollercoaster they created.
Their toxic traits, including gaslighting, manipulation, triangulation, and word salad, were aimed at destroying my reputation and mental well-being. In this personal story, I want to share how I emerged from this dark time, regained my mental health, and discovered personal growth amidst the chaos.
Over the past 4 years since leaving Ontario, I have recovered from their actions and know they will affect me no more. Toxic tenants can share their perceptions of the situation all they want, but it doesn’t make them true.
They keep reposting their content on stellareddy.com, 3 times in the past year, and in all honesty, I am sick of writing about it. It is just the same old stuff they have had online for the past 6 years and it is boring to read the same shit all the time. So I will leave them to it and find more interesting topics to write about.
The Storm Brewing
It all started innocently enough when I moved into the apartment building to start a new job at the end of June 2016. Little did I know that some of these tenants harboured a penchant for manipulation and deceit. Slowly, their toxic traits began to reveal themselves, and their true intentions to undermine and control became apparent. The smearing began, only on the property then. They questioned everything, especially the changes I had to make in procedures.
The Unseen Effects of Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying can be devastating, leaving deep emotional scars that are hard to heal. False allegations and fabricated stories filled my inbox and social media feeds, causing immense stress and anxiety. The constant attacks on my character and reputation left me questioning my worth and sanity. But I refused to let these toxic individuals define who I was. I needed to find a way to recover my mental health and regain control of my own narrative.
Recognizing Gaslighting and Manipulation
Throughout the smear campaign, gaslighting and manipulation were their weapons of choice. They would twist my words, often leading to heated arguments and misunderstandings. It took time, but I started recognizing their tactics and understood that they revelled in creating chaos and confusion. Armed with this realization, I vowed to step out of their carefully woven web.
Triangulation and Word Salad: Decoding Their Tactics
Triangulation and word salad were two other toxic traits exhibited by these tenants during the smear campaign. They would involve third parties, painting a false narrative and creating divisions within my support system. Additionally, they would bombard me with nonsensical and confusing statements, making it exceedingly difficult to counter their claims effectively. However, with time, research, and building a small circle of trusted allies, I learned to identify and filter out their manipulations.
Rebuilding My Mental Health
Recovering my mental health became my priority. I started therapy sessions, which provided a safe space for me to share my experiences and process my emotions. Self-care activities, such as yoga, meditation, and indulging in hobbies I loved, played a crucial role in my healing journey. It was important to realize that my mental health mattered and that by focusing on it, I could regain stability and strength.
Finding Personal Growth Amidst the Chaos
As I gradually healed, I discovered the silver lining in this tumultuous experience – personal growth. It pushed me to reassess my values, boundaries, and personal relationships. It taught me resilience and the importance of surrounding myself with positive and supportive individuals. The smear campaign forced me to confront my own insecurities and emerge stronger than ever before. By embracing the lessons learned, I was able to transform the negativity into an opportunity for personal growth.
Experiencing a smear campaign orchestrated by toxic individuals is an incredibly challenging ordeal. However, it does not define who you are or what you can become. My personal story showcases the road to emotional recovery and finding personal growth even in the darkest of times. By recognizing the toxic traits, recovering mental health, and embracing personal growth opportunities, I was able to emerge from the chaos stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Remember, you have the power to reclaim your narrative and forge a brighter future!
They’re always going to say something isn’t true. They’re always going to accuse me of doing something or being something, the more outrageous the better. They want my outrage. They want my disbelief. They want me to be appalled at what they’re saying and then I get caught in self-defence, they want me to react. Then they took that reaction and made a new post where they tried to gaslight it away...

The Facts
The Tenants lost the eviction in October 2017 for interference with the Landlords interests by persistently refusing access for repairs and created 859kennedyroad.com in November 2017.
They lost the Appeal in April 2019 and made stellareddy.com with the rest that followed…davidstrashin.com, sjtomemberkevinlundy.com, sjtomembervandanapatel.com.
They walked away from HRTO in January 2020 and made another site, socialjusticetribunals.ca in June 2020. (this domain was cancelled in June 2022.)
I moved away and left Ontario in 2020 and they made lorriereddy.com in July 2022 to follow me, once they found my new Facebook and where I was living.
I received a threatening email from them on June 27, 2022, which I took to my local Police with evidence of this new domain. After an investigation over a few months, they found no criminal charges could be laid, but I am content that now the Police are aware of the situation.
As far as I know, their antics online are being monitored.
All were made in attempts to play the victim and discredit everyone else. That is what a Smear Campaign is!
