Meanwhile on the outside, Buster, 26 was forced to file a police report with the local authorities when a photo of himself in his home appeared in the New York Post. It was allegedly taken through the blinds meaning someone was on his property.
Buster and his girlfriend also claimed they are being followed by someone from “the media” in a gray Chevrolet SUV and later saw that same car on their Ring doorbell camera.
