When Russian influencer Anastasia Grishman—known online as “grshmn”—suddenly went silent on TikTok and OnlyFans, her absence raised few alarms. But behind her carefully curated posts and growing digital presence, something was deeply wrong.
Anastasia had been living in St. Petersburg, balancing work as a tattoo artist with an increasingly public life in adult content creation. At her side was her boyfriend, a man who managed her bookings, her income, and much of her life. As tensions in the relationship grew, so did signs of control, jealousy, and isolation.
In this episode, we follow the final weeks of Anastasia’s life in the public eye—and the hidden events that led to a disturbing discovery. We also examine a broader pattern of exploitation and violence affecting online creators worldwide, and the systemic factors that allow it to continue, largely unchecked.
