Pete Wentz is a Predator

Jeanae's Allegations -

How the relationship affected her in her own words and accusations that they met when she was 15

Jeanae has directly alleged that an unnamed person groomed her and emotionally abused her from ages 15 to 20, and given the time frame she’s most likely referring to pete.

Why wouldn’t she just mention his name?
Think about it. He is a rich celebrity and has all the resources at his disposal to prevent people from speaking about him. She might also just not want the inevitable harassment that his fans would send to her if she spoke negatively about him.

She describes the relationship as being toxic and manipulative, with him holding all the power and taking advantage of her vulnerable mental state. The relationship clearly negatively impacted her life and sent her into a downward spiral. It doesn’t mention pete by name but it’s the only person that makes sense with the timeline unless you think she was in 2 relationships at once. This mentioned relationship would have ended when she was 20 and the other person was 27 ish. Meaning the second half would have been when she was provably with pete.


Jeanae’s interview (2023)
(ignore the retreat she’s promoting here, its not relevant):

“This internal solitude and isolation bred me into a people pleaser of the highest degree, and my self-worth became directly determined by the validation I received from others. As I matured into a young woman, this validation-seeking behavior turned to the affections of men, so when I was an impressionable 15-year-old and I started receiving the attention of an older man in a position of influence, I completely submitted to his control. This led to a highly toxic, emotionally abusive, and manipulative relationship that continued for almost 5 years. I would say that I lost myself in that relationship, but I’m not sure I ever knew who I was in the first place. I was so easily controlled that when the relationship finally ended, I realized that I had worked so hard and put so much effort into defining myself by someone else’s expectations that I truly had no idea who I was. I descended into a dark depression plagued by obsessive thoughts of suicide. I didn’t want to live but I was too scared to die, so I decided being numb was the next best thing. When the pain finally became intolerable, I turned to heroin.”



This is consistent with the above story, with some more depressing context about how vulnerable she was at the time and how much the relationship ruined her life. She goes on to say that she became homeless and was depressed, suicidal, and addicted to drugs for many years as a result of pete's treatment of her. Again, the second half of the relationship matches up with when she was publically dating pete.

Jeanae’s Livejournal post (2007):
In this screenshot Jeanae, at age 20, says she’s spent “a full ¼ of her entire life” with pete. 20 / 4 = 5, and 20 - 5 = 15. You can decide if you think she’s exaggerating or delusional or whatever, but these are her own words.
Here's an archive of her account

But wasnt Pete dating morgan in 2003?
This is the one thing that contradicts the evidence. Pete was dating Morgan when Jeanae was 15. However, Jeanae's wording in her accusations is vague enough that she very likely could've meant they MET or were friends when she was 15, which again, would still be grooming. And let's not pretend that pete was the most faithful boyfriend in the world. I would much sooner believe this than assume she was lying.

Jeanae's vent post (2003)
Take this with an extreme grain of salt, I don't have the link to this but it is from her account. This post is allegedly about pete but there's no proof of that. The comment about him sleeping in a van makes sense if it's about pete, and the behavior described lines up with what Jeanae accused pete of and lines up with the timeline she gave. She would have been 16 and him 24 when this post was made. It's pretty painful to read and even if it's not about pete, it gives an insight into how she was in a very poor mental state and susceptible to abuse and manipulation.
