The woman later found their marriage certificate, and discovered a notice of intended marriage which had been filed the month before their Sydney trip - before they even got engaged - which she said she did not sign. According to the court documents, the signature on the notice bears little resemblance to the woman's.

Straight up fraud here, simply in the context of the influencer culture.

I think we're deeply into the period where people suspect social media events may be staged, or at least should. She may not be somebody I'd want to hang out with, but she's undeniably a victim here if the paragraph I quoted accurately describes what happened.
