The Many Lies of Caryma Sa'd

After filing a Freedom of Information request with Toronto Police in March 2025, I learned that I am STILL under police investigation because of lies my former best friend told police in 2024. My ex-friend, Toronto lawyer Caryma Sa’d, defrauded me and filed countless false police reports between 2023- 2025 – lies that caused me to be wrongly arrested twice, nearly three times, before all charges against me were dropped.

I don’t know what this investigation is about, but I do know that it is based on a lie.

I also know that this nightmare will never end, unless I go public. And so, here goes.

On December 10, 2023, I was charged with “criminal harassment” after Caryma Sa’d told Toronto Police 14 Division officers that I was harassing her because I kept emailing her despite her telling me that she no longer wanted to communicate with me. This is a lie – she NEVER told me not to contact her.

She also told police that I had been previously “cautioned” by other cops and disobeyed their warnings – this NEVER happened either.

The arresting officer never verified the false information, insisting it was true and I would be charged because I disobeyed “numerous, multiple cautions” not to contact Caryma. Why? Because Caryma is a lawyer, so there was no need to fact-check her lies.

Between September 30, 2023 and the day I was arrested, the Disclosure shows that I sent Caryma approximately 15 emails. That’s it. Less than 20 messages, across a 3-month span – asking her, among other things, about:

1. The money I was owed

2. Defamatory lies and solicitor-client privileged information being published on Substack by her boyfriend Adam “Lee” Wasserman, without my permission and in breach of the solicitor-client confidentiality she had promised me, and

3. If she was ok – “Lee” has a history of seizing control of our communications in the past and blocking me against her will. Since I know he has access to her passwords, emails and accounts, including legal files and law firm emails, I thought he was intercepting and deleting my messages.

Caryma never replied, never paid me the thousands of dollars she still owes me, and never reimboursed my travel expenses after I accompanied her on work trips. There was nothing, no message from her whatsoever to indicate that she felt “harassed”.

On June 26, 2024, I was arrested again and charged with breaching my release order not to contact Caryma – which I did NOT do. But Caryma complained to police that I “slandered” her because I tweeted about her (despite being mutually blocked). She convinced them that me tweeting ABOUT her (not TO her), sharing DMs screenshots, and tagging the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) was “indirect communication”.

She also lied and told them that I shared “confidential information with a third party who posted it on Twitter”, so I should be charged with a breach.

What was that “confidential information”? Screenshots of our direct messages (DMs) which contain irrefutable evidence that Caryma’s boyfriend, Adam Lee Wasserman, had stalked a Toronto entrepreneur, Jennifer Evans – by photographing and filming her (literally from the bushes) across the street from her condo, and at public events across Toronto.

In spring 2023, Caryma sued Evans for defamation because Evans claimed, among other things, that she had been stalked and defamed by Sa’d and her boyfriend.

My evidence would destroy Caryma’s case.

And so Caryma embarked on a mission to convince police that me simply providing evidence, and testifying on behalf of Evans, was “criminal harassment” and that I should be arrested for a breach. In my view, this is a clear-cut contravention of Canadian Criminal Code sections 140(1) and 423(1).

On March 6, 2025, all criminal charges against me were withdrawn.

On March 7, 2025, Evans publicly announced that I was going to be her witness.

On March 10, 2025, Caryma Sa’d convinced 14 Division police and/or presumably a Justice of the Peace that I was enough of a threat to her to warrant a peace bond application. More trauma, more thousands of dollars I don’t have, in legal bills.

I had not had ANY contact with Caryma, direct or indirect, since November 2023. But her law license won out again. Without any evidence, the courts - and 14 Division police, by now her PR Team - accepted her lies as truth without question.

On May 15, 2025, Caryma’s baseless peace bond applications – against me AND Jennifer Evans – were dismissed by the Crown within 2 minutes of them being brought before a judge.

This is irrefutable evidence of Caryma Sa’d intimidating a witness – contravening section 423(1) of the Canadian Criminal Code.

Yesterday I published a post about a close associate of Caryma and Adam, by the name of Michelle “Mitch” Hancock. For over a year, Mitch had maligned me on X (formerly Twitter), like several other Caryma stans (a euphemism for a hardcore, devoted fan). She insulted me, called me names, and made boldfaced, false accusations that I run anonymous Twitter accounts in “revenge” against Caryma Sa’d.

Not only do I not own those accounts, I don’t even know who operates them. Yet my repeated attempts to correct Mitch were ignored, with her continuing to double down on her malicious lies – until I decided to sue her. Late last night, I was able to ascertain that the most defamatory and vile of Mitch’s lies have been deleted.

“Mitch” is not the only Caryma stan to make false accusations – Steph and Tanya, who were likewise convinced that Caryma’s “enemies” operated anonymous Twitter accounts dedicated to harming their precious Caryma, both lost in court and faced disastrous financial consequences. Victoria, BC resident MaryAnn Watson, a person Caryma calls a “client”, also made vile false accusations – and even incited violence against me, prompting me to file a police report in March 2024. She also received a visit from Victoria police in May 2025.

Caryma herself made similar accusations, then sued her targets, and also lost. Repeatedly. In fact, not even a month ago she was forced to issue a quasi-apology that included an admission of “causing harm” to the Ages, a couple she falsely accused of things they hadn’t done.

It would take in excess of 100 pages to unpack and address Caryma’s lies. And there are some things still, which I cannot share - like videos and other evidence obtained through Disclosure, which was not obtainable through Freedom of Information.

But I hope screenshots speak on my behalf. And however bad you think this is, multiply it by 1001.

Why am I going public with this? Because I don’t have a choice.

Because I am STILL under police investigation. FOR NOTHING.

Because I fear for my safety, my liberty, and my life.

After being defrauded - I laboured for free for an entire year to build Caryma’s “brand”, believing Caryma when she said she would share moneys and credit with me (and a whole bunch of other lies)

After being set up for not one but TWO false criminal charges, and nearly a third arrest

After being attacked with a groundless peace bond application that was thrown out of court

I am NOT going to have my trauma, my exploitation, and the abuse that Caryma put me through in her efforts to silence me using police overreach and the criminal justice system – be supressed or reframed.

I am Caryma’s victim, not her maligner. I refuse to be shamed into silence, into not speaking out against Caryma’s unethical & unlawful behaviour.

I will never stop fighting for justice and accountability.

Every word I wrote about Caryma and Adam is verifiably true, and I will take a polygraph test any day to prove it.

To discredit me and prejudice the public against me so I wouldn’t be believed, Caryma painted me as a criminal. She lied to police for months, until she finally convinced 14 Division Toronto Police to have me charged criminally. After all, who would believe a “criminal harasser” over an upstanding lawyer swearing up and down that she doesn’t owe me money, and no, she hadn’t taken my Schedule III prescription medication, and hadn’t engaged in behaviours “unbecoming” of a lawyer?

By setting me up for crimes I didn’t commit, Caryma reframed me as a “conspiracy theorist” who was lying about her boyfriend being a prostitution industry impresario (with an alleged history of exploiting sex workers), who lied about him hacking our communications and being the instigator of our “break-up”, and lied about his real name being Adam.

None of these things are lies. And because they are true, they are not defamatory.

Caryma told police that my tweets and screenshots of DMs (which provide evidence that stalking enemies and revenge-plotting is arguably a raison d'être for the duo) were “criminal harassment” that threatened her professional reputation. She lied to them about pretty much every facet of my history and character, fabricating endless falsehoods and egregious accusations of criminality.

And – like MaryAnn, Stephanie, Tanya and Michelle – she spun lies about me being the operator of Twitter accounts that don’t belong to me. I neither operate them, nor know who does.

Truth didn’t matter - if ONE person could be charged criminally for operating a Twitter account negative of Caryma, it would send a chilling message to all of Caryma’s critics - if you dare bad-mouth me and my cameraman / videographer, I can/will have you arrested.

But unlike her stans, Caryma’s law license gave her the veneer of credibility that convinced police to arrest me – on her word (on her LIES) alone. Without investigation. Without verification of facts. Without any fact-checking AT ALL. Not once. Not twice. But nearly THREE TIMES.

As a result of Caryma’s lies, I suffered through the trauma (and subsequent PTSD) of two wrongful criminal charges, a brief incarceration, a near-third arrest, a bogus peace bond application (also dismissed), relentless false police reports filed against me, and thousands of dollars in legal bills – and for what?

Because I dared to speak publicly about how Caryma love-bombed me, used me to mentor her as a journalist, extracted ideas from me that she used in Twitter captions and podcasts, and exploited me for editing and ghostwriting articles for her, for advice, emotional support, and endless encouragement – all while promising that we would split the profits and build a future together (complete with a non-profit organization that would generate income for both of us).

And then, less than 24 hours after she affectionately told me “how good I have it” because we’d crossed paths and I was in her life, she turned around and blocked me without a word of explanation. All because her jealous boyfriend (for the third time) seized control of our communications, blocked me on her devices, and issued her an ultimatum – choose between him or me – using the flimsy pretext that my suicidal ideation was bad for her “brand” to convince her not only to ghost me, but to steal my earnings.

As if Adam Lee Wasserman’s extensive criminal record and history of incarceration(s) – which are bound to come out at trial following his two recent arrests - for assault (April 2025) and obstructing police (May 2025) – is a better look for Caryma’s “influencer” brand.

Instead of tying up loose ends and paying me what she owed me, like a normal person would do following a year-long working relationship with a close friend and investor in her “brand”, Caryma ghosted me and kept all the donations we were going to split. Meanwhile, Adam Lee published a nasty, defamatory blog about me that breached solicitor-client confidentiality. Their rabid fans attacked, harassed, and threatened me on social media. All the while I struggled every single day to keep myself alive, and not give into the impulse to self-harm and end my life.

Caryma, of course, knew all about my phobia of police, rooted in me during my childhood in communist Romania. Back in 2022 I’d told her that if I was ever arrested for something, I would kill myself.

Naturally, she did everything in her power to have me arrested as many times as possible, contacting police about me dozens of times between 2023-2025 – filing false police reports, sending emails laden with verifiable lies and false accusations, calling and hounding police over and over.

I didn’t kill myself - but I came close. Too close. If my lawyer Megan hadn’t fought back against 14 Division police in January 2025, after they attempted to charge me for a third time, I planned to jump from the Leaside Bridge on the morning I was scheduled to turn myself in at 14 Division.

There is more than enough evidence for police to criminally charge Caryma Sa’d with multiple counts of mischief, intimidation, obstruction, and/or perjury. The question is – will police actually investigate her criminal activity? Or will they protect their own?

Will they continue to enforce a double standard and not scrutinize law-breaking when a lawyer does it? Will they protect cops who are guilty of negligent investigations?

I will not rest until justice is done. Because my life is on the line.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if police don’t prosecute Caryma Sa’d for her numerous lies, my life is in danger. Because Caryma and her boyfriend have shown that they are not afraid to lie to police. Caryma has lied to have her critics wrongly arrested, while her boyfriend Adam Lee Wasserman gave police a false name and date of birth to evade a criminal charge for assault (which garnered him his obstruction charge).

Wasserman is an ex-convict with an extended criminal history, who told me to my face back in January 2023 that he wanted to “take out” one of their enemies. Caryma lied to police about his involvement in our “break-up”, and in some of the police reports, she refers to him as her “videographer” rather than disclose that he is her “chosen life partner”.

In summer 2024, Caryma emailed 14 Division a letter approx. 60 pages in length, filled with just as many lies, accusing me of everything from stalking her to firebombings. The lies are egregious and extreme in nature. Just as extreme as the numerous lies featured in her police reports and video statement – like falsely accusing me of “joking” about poisoning her cats, which I never did – the poisoning cats idea is one that Caryma herself came up with (which horrified me), before regurgitating it in police reports filed against at least 4 other people aside from me.

Caryma bold-facedly lied to police about not owing me any money, and about taking my Schedule III prescription drugs by lying to me about having “undiagnosed ADHD”.

One of the things she told them was “criminal harassment” was me tweeting that her boyfriend’s name was “Adam” - well before it became publicly known (for many years, Wasserman has gone by the alias “Lee Stevenson”). Twice in her 60-page letter to police, Caryma claimed that she didn’t know any Adam W at her mother’s residence.

I cannot share screenshots of this letter with the public – but I welcome any law enforcement or LSO officer to contact me for details.

Police NEVER cautioned me and NEVER investigated. They took Caryma’s lies at face value and deprived me of my Charter rights and my freedom - because the complainant is a lawyer. So great is the power imbalance and credibility conferred by a lawyer’s license, that justice becomes a pinnacle impossible to reach.

I am suffering from severe PTSD. I can barely sleep at night. I have frequent panic attacks and non-stop anxiety. I self-harm. And yet I don’t have a choice but to go public.

Because if I don’t speak about what happened to me, I fear that myself and other innocent people will suffer irreparable harm as a result of the Canadian legal system allowing a pair of criminals to destroy lives with impunity. A system where the weight of truth depends on the percieved worth of those who speak it.

Me on the day Caryma’s baseless peace bond application was thrown out of court.
