'Everyone thinks my celebrity ex is charming, but he broke up with me in the cruellest way.'

When Myah first met the celebrity, her first thought was, "Oh, I bet he's funny". She was right.

"We had a lot in common which I liked, and he was easy to talk to," she shared exclusively with Mamamia.

The pair worked in the same field, with Myah behind the camera and him in front of it.

"In hindsight, his job is to be charming and likeable, and maybe I should've been more cautious. But I thought it was genuine. It didn't take much for me to want to be around him after our first date."

She was instantly infatuated with the funny, smart, and charming man.

"I remember feeling so present whenever I was with him. I'm always on my phone because of my job, but when we were together I would just throw my phone in my bag and shut everything out," she said.

"He said that he thought I could be his person and I believed him."

The celeb constantly complimented Myah, telling her how much he loved her smile lines and how they would "only become more beautiful with age".

"It made it seem like he wasn't artificial — he was good at coming up with things like that. There was something innocent in the way that it all started which made it feel safe. I'm sort of a sucker for pretty words, and he knew what to say to keep me around."

But due to his celebrity status, their relationship moved at a glacial pace.

"My ex became famous at a fairly young age, so I think when you grow up in that environment, it affects how you view all relationships," Myah shared, explaining he was "guarded" with the information he shared.

"I could tell there was a side to him that was cautious [that] I could be some crazy fangirl and not actually interested in him."

At first, Myah understood his reservations. But as time went on, she grew weary. 

"It became more clear he was just incapable of making space for someone else. It was almost like an experiment to him — testing to see if he could be in a relationship with a 'normal person', and I was the unlucky lab animal. In reflecting on this, I don't know how much of him was real or fake."

Though alarm bells were ringing, it was hard to hear them at the time.

"When you like someone, red flags can seem like cute quirks and often by the time you realise what they actually are, it's too late," she shared.

In hindsight, things have become clearer for Myah.

"I think when he told me that if I died he wouldn't go to my funeral, that should've signalled a red flag in my brain. But I justified that response by assuming he was emotionally more private.

"I turned the red flag into something sweet, 'Oh, he just wouldn't be able to see me in that setting, it would be too much', but he didn't give that reasoning, so why I assigned it to him, I don't know."

The celeb also only hung out with Myah once a week and refused to introduce her to his friends.

"People would want to do double dates and meet me, and he would always say no. Or he would go to parties or events and not invite me — I've never had a partner exclude me from their life in that way," she shared.

"In some situations, flying solo makes sense, but when you're only seeing each other once a week, it makes you wonder what's going on all the other days and why you can't also be there too."

On New Year's Eve, the celeb told Myah he was spending the evening with his mum. He didn't invite her because he "wasn't comfortable" having the pair meet.

"I had to find other plans, which I was okay with because I wanted to respect his boundaries, but I later saw photos online of him at a house party with a bunch of his friends that same night.

"He didn't want to be seen with me publicly, and if someone isn't proud or excited to have you around, that's a problem," she shared.

Myah never confronted the celeb; she didn't want him to think she was with him "for the wrong reasons".

"I let him lie to me to protect his 'celebrity' and comfort when I shouldn't have."

The breakup was sudden and brutal.

"If it was blood he was after, he got it," she said.

It was a regular Monday. Myah was supposed to visit his house when he changed his mind and drove to her apartment instead.

"That's when my intuition kicked in," she told Mamamia. "I could feel with the last minute switch, it was over. It was two days before his birthday party... I remember sitting on my couch waiting for him to arrive, and when he walked into my apartment, I told him, 'just say it'.

"He uninvited me to his birthday, took me off his personal Instagram, said some really horrific things that made me question my self-worth for months, broke up with me, and walked out of my life."

Some of those "horrific things" included criticisms about Myah's physical appearance.

"He used my vulnerabilities as a weapon in the breakup to ensure there was no reconciliation," she shared.

"I think as a human, to have your body be used against you as a reason for being inadequate is just cruel.

"I couldn't understand how he woke up and had no interest in being in my life anymore. I had to wonder for how long he was thinking of ending it and didn't."

The celeb was aware that Myah had "abandonment trauma" and still "discarded" her.

"I had to really grieve this relationship because of the way it happened. I was crying over my partner, but also the future that disappeared," she said.

"I questioned a lot about myself — why I wasn't enough or worth having around anymore, and in actuality, I should've just been able to see that the breakup was because of his insecurities, not mine.

"He used his celebrity and fame to control the narrative, and any person that uses control in a relationship is someone you should run from."

Now, the trust issues still linger.

"I'm a bit numb to any kind of sweet words and am more guarded now... I'm hopeful that maybe my person is out there, but I'm not optimistically holding my breath in the same way I used to."

Myah, however, is channelling the emotion into her music. She has an eight-track synth-pop project coming out this December called 'IS THIS WHAT I SEE?', as well as a debut album next year.

"My ex thought that he could just toss me to the side because I'm 'not famous' and I didn't like the idea that you could treat someone like that because you're somehow untouchable, and no one would ever hear my side of things because I was the 'normal' one. I put my feelings into my art which was the most therapeutic thing I could do, and what I always do.

"While he was the subject of this one story, none of this was really about him, but rather me being able to let out all the things I had to keep to myself for so long… I like being open about everything I do creatively. I think people should feel empowered and unafraid to tell their stories.

"I don't hate my ex. I just got my heart broken and used my art as a means to express that."
