Amanda Malakas, a former Kentucky cheerleader, has publicly demanded that her ex-boyfriend, Talon Burnside, cease harassing her nearly three years after she ended their relationship following repeated incidents of physical abuse.
Malakas revealed that Burnside continues to contact her through phone calls, messages, and even unauthorized access to her accounts, including her Kroger loyalty account and Amazon Alexa.
In a social media post, Malakas described the ongoing harassment in detail.
She stated that since leaving Burnside in 2023, he has repeatedly attempted to contact her from blocked or unknown numbers, reached out via multiple platforms, and even involved his current girlfriend in sending her messages.
Malakas noted one alarming incident in which Burnside allegedly attempted to manipulate his girlfriend into stealing her dog.
The harassment escalated further when Malakas discovered Burnside had been using her phone number to access her Kroger points.
Most recently, she learned he had linked his address to her Amazon Alexa and had been actively using the device without her permission.
In response, Malakas confronted the situation directly, using her Echo Dot to demand that he stop the harassment immediately.
“I am sick of him being a crusty, bum, nasty, abusive, manipulative, disgusting human being,” Malakas wrote.
She also confirmed that she plans to obtain an emergency protective order (EPO) or restraining order against Burnside.
Malakas’s post drew widespread support from friends and social media users.
Commenters praised her bravery and resilience, offering emotional support and sharing similar experiences with toxic relationships.
Many expressed outrage over Burnside’s actions, emphasizing the seriousness of ongoing harassment and abuse.
Malakas remains firm in her resolve to protect herself and ensure Burnside is held accountable.
She urges anyone who encounters him to encourage him to stop harassing her and to acknowledge the abusive behavior he has exhibited over the years.
