maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s years spent in a patriarchal society that tells him he’s allowed to do shit like this because white men are god’s gift to this planet and everyone on it
UPDATE: This is not the first time Ryan Andrews has done this. He pulled the same thing with
@aly_sf
in summer of 2021. Shared with permission.
Are there any other women in Southwestern Ontario/the GTA this man has invaded and harassed in this way? Please dm me if it has!
This is scary. Men are scary. The support has been amazing, but with that comes the not so nice stuff. I’m now telling my friends that I will never just disappear, go off grid or, stop showing up on social media. I am sharing my location at all times with 10+ people.
I would gladly be a stay-at-home wife. A trophy wife. I do not dream of labour, I dream of reading several books a month, exercising at my leisure, baking and cooking new recipes, going for coffee with friends in the middle of the afternoon, and having a clean house all the time.

: 🚨🚨🚨
Ryan Andrews is 36. He found out where a 20 year old girl he’d seen on Bumble worked, called her workplace to ask after her 3-4 times, and left a review. Her brothers had to walk her home for a while for her to feel safe.
As always, shared with permission.

Shared with permission. This encounter with Ryan happened in November 2021 and can be seen here.
If there are any other women who have been approached by this man, please DM me. Don’t reply here, this thread is muted, but my DMs are open.
POV: you’re walking on the beach in a bikini for the first time since before you were 10 because you finally love the body you’re in—and you know it was always worthy of this all along. ♡
sensible part of my brain: hmm maybe don’t do this idea you’re thinking of.
fun, unhinged, pre-summer part of my brain: do a content series here called “sunday slutty sunday” 😈
UPDATE: An official police report has been filed. If any of the women who have reached out to me or who have yet to reach out with their experiences with Ryan Andrews would like to add to the report, please DM me and I’ll provide the reference number. With love. 💖

is perhaps the most insidious so far. This dates back to a decade ago and involves a woman who was only 20/21 at the time.
He slapped her and told her she liked it, not giving her the space to decide for herself how she felt. He assaulted her.
How many others?
I know that the online landscape has largely been wiped of his image, and I’ve received many DMs asking what he looks like from women in the GTA so they can keep an eye out. Well, this is him.

This man should not have access to your dating apps. This is the original tweet, and you can see the experiences of other women who have come forward I’ve shared in the replies (currently there are 15 updates). Let’s protect women. 💖
actually i’m with her on this one. it’s literally insane that we’re expected to work a minimum of 40 hours per week, and if you have to commute it’s more like 50-60 hours, and you have to practice self-care and get groceries and maintain relationships and exercise and and and!!!
Omg, poor baby has her first job. Like..she has to commute?? Like...she has to cook dinner?? Like...no time or energy to work out?? Like..she's working in person not remote??? Like...She. Has. To. Work. 9. To. 5 ??? What????🙄

Confirmed this has happened to two additional women, one in 2016 and one in 2017. I will not be sharing the details of the 2016 encounter to protect her identity, safety, and peace, but you can find the mention of the 2017 encounter here from

Yes he saw me via Tinder (we did not match) and then found me on FB. Maybe in 2017?!? I blocked and deleted him but it was the same insanity and the increasingly erratic voice notes. This creep has been at it for years! 🤬
do you ever see a man post his gf for the first time and you’re surprised because he mentions an absurdly long amount of time that they’ve been together in the caption and he’s definitely been in your dms recently?
Haven’t seen the 28 yr old man who hits on the 17 yr old girl on staff since she showed me the messages he sent her but HE’S HERE and I am so ready to unequivocally tell him how fucked up it is! Yeehaw baby, I got 800mg of caffeine in my system and no patience for shitty men LFG!

CONT:
The screen recordings of very similar voice memos to what I received, down to the Disney princess line and big feet line. They just keep coming, y’all.
Women are out here in the goddamn trenches.

Apparently, his real name is Ryan Konopud and he’s been behaving this way since before the GTA, in Alberta. Not sharing any further details to protect this person, but you can see what they’ve said below.

:
Shared with permission. From a couple months ago. He found this girl’s friend on ig after interacting with them for under a minute a few months ago. Innocuous on its own, but part of the pattern of behaviour.

:
This woman matched with Ryan Andrews on Hinge a couple of months ago. This is how it went, in her words. Shared with permission, keeping it anonymous.
If you have a personal story to share, my DMs are open to you. 💖
Please stop trying to explain or justify Ryan Andrews’ behaviour to me. I promise you, I understand it and I do not agree with it for any reason. Thanks! 💖
the weirdest part of any kind of breakup, whether with a friend or partner or family, is that you go from talking to that person on a regular basis to just…not. you no longer text them when you wake up or call them when something big happens. there’s just space. how strange.

Ryan messaged this woman a year before she saw it and spent that entire year reacting to her stories on IG.
April 2019. There were so many moments in these recordings that were identical and/or made me die inside. I’ll let y’all hear for yourselves. SCREAMING. 😵💫💀
i wore a teensy top and skirt to a birthday party last night and it was the first time in my life i’ve ever worn something so ✨tiny✨ in public and felt so incredibly hot and confident and that was very cool. i wish i could tell little me that we won’t hate our body one day. 🥹

:
Another woman’s encounter with him on Hinge. This includes his profile.
I want to clarify that they did match and he has not technically done anything *wrong* here, however it still made her uncomfortable enough to record and send to her friends.

I now have a full security system installed and am prepared to have the most restful sleep I’ve had since before this all came to light.
Thank you to everyone who has sent kind messages, contributed to the security system, and offered support and well wishes. I love y’all. 💖

This woman went on a single date with him 10 years ago. He yelled at her in a public restaurant after she called him out on him manipulating his ex-girlfriend. Shared anonymously with permission.
Thank you so much to every kind person who has offered their support, condolences, witty commentary, incredulity, and abject horror around what I am dubbing Bumblegate. I���ve muted the thread and cannot keep up with every reply or message, but please know I appreciate you all! 💖

My birthday is one week today. In the past year, I walked away from a man who was about to propose, went through the darkest chapter of my life, recovered from an eating disorder, began unapologetically seeking joy, and accidentally went viral for exposing a predator.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
